Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for all his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked to improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and his work on electricity, including the "kite experiment" which confirmed the nature of lightning, made him famous throughout the world.Franklin earned the title of the “First American" for his efforts to unite the 13 American states, and to win their independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania. He is also famous today for his wise sayings, including "a penny saved is a penny earned” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".24. What is the article mainly about?A. The American Declaration of Independence.B. Franklin's contributions to American society.C. The American War of Independence.D. Benjamin Franklin's early life.25. How did Franklin begin developing his own political thinking?A. By discussing ideas with political activists in Britain.B. By persuading the 13 American states to unite.C.

He visited England to discuss independence.A. e, c, a, b, f, dB. c, a, b, f, e, dC. a, c, f, b, d, eD. f, d, a, b, c, eWhether or not you believe Professor Stephen Hawking's alarming theory that building a “strong” artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to the end of the human race, it’s clear that AI is reaching the point where soon it will affect almost every aspect of how we work with computers. We must get used to computers that talk back.Last year, investment bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions. What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments (授资) in different businesses. But VITAL doesn't attend board meetings or vote - it's just a program. While it's not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced.Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world. But they won't look like us or pretend to be human.In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human-looking robot called Ava has human intelligence. I won't spoil the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we're told they are all .the time. Indeed, if you stopped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world.Google's Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn't worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines. As powerful computer-based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness. Just as we have accepted the reality that the self-awareness that makes minds possible exists within the animal world, we may soon accept that it can also exist within the machine world.28. According to Professor Stephen Hawking, human beings .A. may be endangered by strong AIB. are still more intelligent than machinesC. will benefit greatly from the advances in AID. will never be able to build a strong AI system29. According to Paragraph 2, VITAL can .A. attend board meetings to voteB. make final decisions for the bankC. attract more investments to the bankD. assess the value of different businesses30. The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to .A. control people's facial expressionsB. construct other intelligent machinesC. have a human-like physical appearanceD. change people's speeches into different languages31. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence. . .B. Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines.C. Intelligent machines will eventually control the world.D. Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness.Mature-age university students are annoying, I know. I understand that when you're 18 or 19, and already know everything, there's no need to do the readings or show up prepared for class. I also understand that there are these old people in class who should be doing other things——maybe retiring, or gardening in the backyard. They are eagerly asking questions (or worse, answering them) and generally loud.I understand because I used to be one of them. I dropped out of high school in Year 11 and after playing guitar in a band for a few years, I spent the next ten years working different jobs. Then a friend, who thought I was wasting my life, suggested I enroll at his university. Although afraid, I eventually took a university preparation course and a year later became a 35-year-old university freshman.Like many mature-age students, after completing my degree, I continued studying and eventually attained my PhD.Now I'm a lecturer at Toronto University in Canada. In fact, I have just finished preparing a group of mature-age students to annoy next year's young first years. My students come from many different backgrounds. But they all share an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning.I know they are ridiculous and show up to class with folders full of readings, minds overflowing with ideas and concepts they want to discuss. I was the same. But, contrary to the stereotype of the annoying mature-age students occupying the airtime in class, most don't want to control the discussion.They're likely to be waiting, counting away the seconds silently in the hope that someone will want to talk about all of these amazing ideas we're learning about. Only after waiting for younger voices to speak. ( but which often remain silent) do they begin talking.Speaking for myself, I love students who come prepared and ready to discuss stuff. So let's celebrate all of those “annoying” mature-age students.32. According to the article, a mature-age student is a person .A. who behaves like an adultB . studying for a higher degreeC. not yet qualified to enter universityD. who starts university at an older age33. In the first paragraph, the author .A. shows that he is opposed to mature-age studentsB. describes the problems mature-age students createC. makes fun of the attitude held by many young students .D. explains why many teachers dislike mature-age students .34. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Retired people.B. Early high school leavers.C. Mature-age university students.D. University students aged below 20.35. Why do mature-age students often wait before speaking in class?A. They are not very familiar with the topic being discussed.B. They want to give the younger 'students more chances to speak.C. They lack the ability to give their opinions. . .D. They are more interested in hearing others' opinions. .第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AGive it five minutesI used to be a hothead. Whenever anyone said anything, I’d think of a way to disagree. I’d push back hard if something didn’t fit my world-view.It’s like I had to be first with an opinion — as if being first meant something. But what it really meant was that I wasn’t thinking hard enough about the problem. The faster you re act, the less you think. Not always, but often.This came to a head back in 2007. I was speaking at the Business Innovation Factory conference in Providence, RI. So was Richard Saul Wurman. After my talk Richard came up to introduce himself and compliment my talk. That was very generous of him. He certainly didn’t have to do that.And what did I do? I pushed back at him about the talk he gave. While he was making his points on stage, I was taking an inventory of the things I didn’t agree with. And when pres ented with an opportunity to speak with him, I quickly pushed back at some of his ideas. I must have seemed like such an asshole.His response changed my life. It was a simple thing. He said “Man, give it five minutes.” I asked him what he meant by that? H e said, it’s fine to disagree, it’s fine to push back, it’s great to have strong opinions and beliefs, but give my ideas some time to set in before you’re sure you want to argue against them. “Five minutes” represented “think”, not react. He was totally ri ght. I came into the discussion looking to prove something, not learn something.This was a big moment for me.Richard has spent his career thinking about these problems. He’s given it 30 years. And I gaveit just a few minutes. Now, certainly he can be wr ong and I could be right, but it’s better to think deeply about something first before being so certain you’re right.There’s also a difference between asking questions and pushing back. Pushing back means you already think you know. Asking questions means you want to know. Ask more questions.Learning to think first rather than react quick is a life-long pursuit. It’s tough. I still get hot sometimes when I shouldn’t. But I’m really enjoying all the benefits of getting better.If you aren’t sure why this i s important, think about this quote from Jonathan Ive regarding Steve Jobs’ reverence(respect) for ideas:And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished.That’s deep. Ideas are fragile. They often start powerless. They’re barely there, so easy to ignore or skip or miss.There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.Dismissing an idea is so easy because it doesn’t involve any work. You can scoff at it. You can ignore it. You can puff some smoke at it. That’s easy. The hard thing to do is protect it, think about it, let it marinate, explore it, riff on it, and try it. The right idea could start out life as the wrong idea.So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work.Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it.1. Which of the following best describes the word hothead from the first paragraph?A. SupportiveB. FastC. NervousD. Aggressive2. What did the author do while Richard was talking in the business conference?A. He kept notes for things that he did not agree with.B. He pushed Richard and beat him.C. He was preparing for his own speech.D. He was getting ready to compliment him.3. Which of the following is the reason for quoting Jonathan Ive?A. The author thinks Steve Jobs is the best when it comes to creativity.B. The author is inspired by Steve Job's attitude towards new ideas.C. The author respects Steve Job because he is creative and he likes ideas.D. The author thinks Steve Job has ideas that are strong and powerful and are hard to miss.4. What is the core argument that the author put forward?A. Dismissing ideas is an effortless thing to do so you should always protect ideas carefully.B. The right idea always starts from a wrong idea and you need to protect it from beingdismissed.C. One should be careful when it comes to judge a new idea.D. Every idea, whether powerful or fragile, deserves five minutesBBats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives.To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of bats—the Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their DNA.The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly.Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer.However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA.Scientists th ink that because bats fly and produce free radicals, they’ve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system.“We’re thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like a ging and cancer,” says Chris Cowled, of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think we’ve really found something special.”Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.5. What’s true about bats according to the passage?A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so it’s easy for them to get sick.B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily.C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly.D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.6. According to researchers, bats can fight off many deadly diseases mainly because ________.A. they have developed special immune system through evolutionB. they are able to fly, which burns a lot of energyC. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseasesD. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. bats and dangerous diseasesB. bats and their special immune systemC. free radicals and immune systemD. ways to cure cancerCThroughout history there have always been people who can make other people laugh. Early clowns (小丑) often both annoyed and delighted audiences with their comments and songs. They were not the si lent performers seen in today’s circus rings (马戏场). Clowns lost their voices when the large three-ring circuses made it impossible for the audience to hear them.Circus clowns give performances in various ways. Walk-around clowns use an animal or something as part of their performance. A carpet clown moves around, talking with the audience and performing while the acts change in the rings. Then there are acrobatic clowns, riding clowns, juggling clowns and others.Everything a clown does looks easy, but it’s not. Making people laugh can be hard work. Clowns must be in good physical condition to prevent injuries. Each funny move is carefully timed and well-practiced. Most clowns have also been trained as acrobats, jugglers or aerial artists, and many include such skills into their acts.Generally, there are three categories of circus clowns—whiteface, auguste and character. Each has a special makeup style and costume. Each has a typical act as well.The neat whiteface is usually a strict, in-charge character who sets up the punch line (the point of a joke) for the joke with a partner who is typically an auguste. His facial features are neatly detailed in red or black, and his costumes look so loose with a ruffle around the neck.Auguste clown got his name from a German nickname for someone who is clumsy. The auguste wears light-colored makeup, but white is used around the mouth and eyes, and there’s a big red nose. This clown performs a great deal of humor. An oversized suit or baggy trousers allow free movement for all the clumsy acts. He also wears big shoes.Character clowns perform as different personalities—cowboys, grandmothers or concert conductors. The most famous character clown, however, is the tramp. Tramps wear different styles of makeup and torn costumes. Some tramp clowns are happy-go-lucky. Others are extremely sad. Still others act like gentlemen who just happen to be out of money.Clowns have a long and interesting history and use serious techniques. However, the children and adults at the cir cus don’t need to know these facts to get ready for fun when they hear “Bring in the clowns!”8. According to the Paragraph 1, why did clowns lose their voices?A. Because they wanted to avoid annoying audiences.B. Because there were only a few audiences in the ring.C. Because audiences often spoke louder than clowns.D. Because they could not be heard in the three-ring circuses.9. If a clown is dressed in baggy clothing, which type of clown does he belong to?A. The auguste or the whitefaceB. The whiteface or the characterC. The auguste or the characterD. The riding clown or the tramp10. What makes the character clowns different?A. He plays a leading role in performances.B. He wears more attractive make-up.C. He performs in a more funny way.D. He acts in different characters.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. The long history of clowns.B. Varied opinions on clowns.C. Some basic facts about clowns.D. Three different types of clowns.DCan you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as amark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space —but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety —even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”12. From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone13. Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.14. What can be inferred from OKCupid’s finding?A. People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.B. Less attractive women are lonely because of their appearances.C. We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances.D. Don’t use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Negative Sides of BeautyB. Sexist PrejudiceC. Blessed with BeautyD. Beauty vs Ugliness第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

1984，Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act．One by one，graffiticovered walls are being changed into outdoor art．So far，more than 1，800murals （壁画）have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city．The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鸦）are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP）．Its work makes schools and public places attractive，and its citizens very proud．The program began as part of Philadelphia's AntiGraffiti Network．Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director．"When people ask me what our program is about，"she says，"I answer them with one word：hope"．Each year，the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops．Some onetime graffitiwriters even help paint MAP murals．The MAP's work，says Golden，is all about developing a sense of community （社区）．When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message．Some messages have been"Safe Streets"，"Love and Care"，and"Peace Walk"．The MAP receives up to 50requests for murals each week．Last year，the workers painted 140murals．"The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary，pleasant moment in neighborhood history．"says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles．8.What can be the best title for the text？______A.Hope，One Wall at a TimeB.Jane，an Excellent Mural ArtistC.MAP，a New Company in PhiladelphiaD.Love，from Graffiti Writers to Muralists9.What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at？______A.Attracting more visitors．B.Fighting against

MAP？______A.Successful．B.Dangerous．C.Experimental．D.Difficult．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】D 【小题4】A【解析】28．A主旨大意题．根据第二段Jane Golden的话When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，当人们问及该项目是关于什么的时候，她用一个词来概括，即Hope，故选A29．B推理判断题．根据第一、二段The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鸦） are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，昔日曾经被涂鸦的墙壁正被美丽的壁画所覆盖，以使社区更具魅力，因此对抗涂鸦应是该项目的目的，故选B．30．D细节理解题．根据第三段第二句When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，当社区的居民请求画一张壁画时，该项目的工作人员就和当地的人们一起工作来拟定出一个主题，故选D．31．A推理判断题．根据第一段及倒数第二段So far，more than 1，800murals （壁画） have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city可知，该项目很成功，故选A．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们介绍了费城壁画的崛起和优点以及壁画艺术的美好前景，MAP团队在费城以hope为最大目的壁画项目进行的十分成功，成功对抗了墙壁涂鸦，为社区的和谐作出了巨大贡献．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题时，不要以个人的主观想象代替文章事实，要根据文章进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．DA strange，new dilemma faces Chinese pedestrians：should you help an elderly person who has fallen into the street？The answer seems simple．Your conscience forces you to help someone in danger．But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers．They accuse good Samaritans（好心人）of having knocked them over in the first place，and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation．There are frequent reports on such incidents and following disputes．On Sept 8，a new case happened in Huainan，Anhui province．Yuan Chen，a 20-year-old college student from Huainan Normal University，claimed that she helped an injured elderly woman on the street．But the woman's family has demanded that Yuan take full responsibilities for the injuries．Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot，both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names．The local police department is also investigating the case．But how can you possibly solve a case like this，where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints？"This kind of cases should follow the principle of‘the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim'，"Ye Lin，a law professor from Renmin University of China，told China Central Television．The burden of proof means the collection of proof or evidence．In civil cases，"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses，you should collect convincing proof to back your claim，"said Ye．"If you cannot do that，the law will not be able to support your claim．"The law may not resolve all the problems，however．Some elderly people choose to blackmail （敲诈）their helpers because they do not have health insurance．To prevent this，the country needs to put in place a better social security net．12.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph？______A.Conscience is troublesome because it compels you to help someone who will set you up in return．B.Sometimes the warm-hearted are wrongly accused of having knocked others over．C.It is advisable for Chinese people to turn a blind eye to someone in danger．D.There's no doubt that the elderly usually fell down on purpose to claim compensation．13.What does the sentence in paragraph 3"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"mean？______A.Both sides are in search of someone who can call out their names．B.Both sides are in search of evidence that can clarify their opinions．C.Both sides are in search of evidence that can wash away their crimes．D.Both sides are in search of someone who can prove they are telling the truth．14.What can we infer from Ye Lin，the law professor's words？______A.Ye Lin thinks it is Yuan Chen who is responsible for gathering proof．B.In civil cases，the accused should collect proof as well to reject the claim．C.The principle regards the accused as innocent until convincing proof can be provided．D.Since it is hard to collect convincing proof，both sides should take on the responsibility．15.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows？______A.To make comments on this hot social phenomenon．B.To emphasize the necessity of an improved social security system．C.To analyze deep causes of the elderly blackmailing their helpers．D.To illustrate the impact brought about by the blackmail on our society．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】32．B 细节理解题．根据第一段But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers．They accuse good Samaritans（好心人）of having knocked them over in the first place，and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation．可知很多国人发现一些伤者其实是骗子．他们讹诈好心人把自己撞倒，倒打一耙，进而索取高额赔偿．由此推知，有时热心人被错误地指责为把别人撞倒在地上．故选B．33．D 句意辨析题．根据第三段Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot，both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names．The local police department is also investigating the case．But how can you possibly solve a case like this，where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints？可知由于事故发生在监控盲区，双发都在寻找证人．当地公安局也在调查该事件．不过在这种两方各执一词，证据也只是双方证词的情况下，如何解决纠纷？由此推知，"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"的意思是"双方都在寻找能证明他们说真话的人"．故选D．34．C 细节推理题．根据倒数第二段In civil cases，"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses，you should collect convincing proof to back your claim，"said Ye．"If you cannot do that，the law will not be able to support your claim．"可知叶林教授说"如果你指控他人对你造成伤害或损失，你就要收集支持自己诉讼的证据．如果你无法举证，那么法律将无法支持你的诉讼请求．"由此推知，直到有说服力的证明，这项原则才会将被告人视为无罪．故选C．35．B 理解推断题．根据最后一段可知，法律不是万能的．一些老人选择讹诈那些帮助他们的好心人，是因为他们没有医疗保险．为了避免类似事件，国家需要完善社会保险体系．由此推知，下文最有可能去强调一种改进的社会保障制度的必要性．故选B．本文主要介绍了一种社会现象．如果在路上看到一位老人摔倒，你扶还是不扶？这本来是一个非常简单的选择，但现在对很多人来说却是对价值观、人生观的巨大考验，因为伸出援手之后等待你的有可能是知恩图报，也有可能是恩将仇报．为了避免坏的事件，国家需要完善社会保险体系．本文考察学生的理解推断能力，抓住文章的关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节，能根据已知的结果推测导致结果的可能原因．II、信息匹配(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Part

A1.Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors.C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point — more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively — crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. T his leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Bos ton played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialisi ng?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The u nderlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations — including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC — to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage.Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn — at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing — and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have bee n punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports — areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voiceto each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2015年高中三年级教学质量检测英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ARaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenev er I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home. Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice. “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alo ne along the highway and country roads, I also felt less than valued t hat my father didn’t seem concern ed about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop. I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (篱笆) the driveway that climb the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observ ation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew that each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face le ngthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes. Dad, it’s me I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph I mean?A. admitted readilyB. whisper carelessly.C. explained clearlyD. spoke unhappily.22. What made the author feel bothered?A. The tiredness after long hours in labsB. The fear of walking home by himselfC. The feeling of being less than valuedD. The loneliness of riding the bus home23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he felt concern ed about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he wanted to meet his son at the doorwayD. he thought his son was too young to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s SecretB. The Hedge Around MeC. Terrible Journey HomeD. Riding Bus AlongBI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years.The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation, and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would at have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because___A. they have to earn the right to attend itB. they are curious about animals kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior26. The author used wolves as an example to ___.A. provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB. explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals bring them trouble27. We can infer from the text that after being set free some prisoners___A. have turned over a brand new leafB. are required to receive the educationC. pay no attention to nature protectionD. prefer humane education to scienceCMelbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been related to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing you passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures onyour favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows 8. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面) introduced by Windows 8.

Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department scores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, “The customer is always right,” which made the Chicago st ore popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only Shopping Days until Christmas”.When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no match of their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges. a department store named after him. at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team shaped an ambitious classical p3lacc building with a wall of plate glass windows.Opened in 1909, Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first aid room and. most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale.Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Century culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.24.

My father was a top chef. We‟d had a stormy relationship for years, but I decided to follow in his footsteps anyway, and train as a chef. It was better than the dead-end I …d reach with the job I‟d been doing.After three years, I became head chef in a restaurant called The Tortoise. As the boss, I made important decision but if anything went wrong, I was the one who should take the responsibility. Experiencing the sweaty kitchens, I learned why my father was the way he was. When I began, I didn‟t have my sights set on anything much---I just wanted a regular job—but soon I realized mycareer was taking off. The rich and famous started to visit the restaurant and eventually came the time when I had to decide about my future: I could either open my own restaurant or go and work for one of the big ones. Then life made the decision for me. My father tried and I got his job.On my first day, I received an unfriendly welcome. No one would talk to me. What made it worse was that I was ill—I had a cold , and my hands were shaking as I went into the kitchen. I held my breath, stood up in front of everyone and said, My name is Leah Kleist.

They‟ve decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault (地下室）there. He says: “We are probably the only scientific community whose sample (样本) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet. If you work on rocks or on tree rings, the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries."And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps, for example? Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years. Trapped air bubbles (气泡) contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed. Ice is a record of climate By examining ice. we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years. Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station, which is operated by scientists from France and Italy. The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10 meters below the surface. at a constant temperature of -50*C. This w ill put the scientists‟ minds at rest. Losing the ice samples would be a disaster, and nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool.32. What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice?A. Its large mountains.B. Its function as a freezer.C. The abundant ice samples there.D. The absence of global warming.33. Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state that_.A. it's necessary to store iceB. it‟s more valuable to study iceC. ice disappears very quicklyD. ice should be stored at home34. What is the researchers' purpose of studying ice?A. To learn about climate.B. To learn about the Alps.C. To trap air bubbles.D. To reduce carbon dioxide.35. What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica?A. They consider it an easy job.B. They‟re not optimistic about it.C. They think it will cause disasters.D. They think it‟s a reliable way.第二节（共5小题，共10分）Some people just know how to start a conversation with anyone, in any place.

Mothers and daughters go through so much-yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass，both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co－writers as they examine their decades of motherhood，daughterhood，and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠）．Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her moth er’s: both have full－time careers；both have published books，articles, and stories；each has three children；they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact, they often take trips together.But in truth, the harder they look at their lives，the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls。

AAre you a volcano lover? Here is a list of some of the world’s most beautiful volcanoes that our travel agency can offer you to visit. Don’t miss them!Mount Mayon, the PhilippinesLocated about 450 km southeast of Manila on the island of Luzon, Mount Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines; a September 2014 eruption forced thousands to flee the area. Those who hike the volcano are rewarded with views of the towns on the Albay province and the Pacific Ocean. But even those who prefer the view from a distance have historical good point at the Cagsawa Ruins, once an 18th Century Franciscan church that was destroyed by an 1814 eruption.Kilauea and Mauna Kea, HawallHawaii’s volcanoes are known for their active eruptions and extraordinary scenes. Mauna Kea is around one million years old, while Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983. The lava falls straight into the sea, creating fantastic forms of black rocks and smoke clouds.Mount Kelimutu, IndonesiaKelimutu’s three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists to the island of Flores in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province. One is emerald green（翡翠绿），another dark red, and the thirdpitch black. Scientists say the lakes take on such colors because the volcanic gases met the lake s’ minerals centuries ago.1. People who hike Mount Mayon can enjoy the following EXCEPT .A. views of the towns in the Albay provinceB. views of the Pacific OceanC. views of the Cagsawa RuinsD. views of Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province2. According to the text, Kilauea .A. is an active volcanoB. stopped erupting in 1983C. is the youngest volcano in the worldD. forces thousands to flee in 2014.3. The colors of Kelimutu’s three mysterious crater lakes are due to .A. water pollutionB. different environmentC. chemical reactionD. different temperaturesBPhotography has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didn’t take any of them. There were no art directors, no stylists, no chance for reshoots, not even any regard for lighting. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists.My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech, and my wife took a picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We’re on the corner of the 57th and 5th avenue. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the same picture.Well you can see where this is going. Approaching my daughter’s third birthday, my wife said, “Hey, why don’t you take Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip, and continue the ceremony?” This is when we started asking passing tourists to take the picture.So these photos are far more than representatives for a single moment, or even a specific trip. They’re also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October and reflect on our times and how we change from year to year, and nor just physically, but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our viewpoints change, and she reaches new milestones and I get to see life through her eyes, and how shecommunicates with and sees everything. This very focused time we get to spend together is something we value and expect the entire year.4.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.He is fond of being photographed alone.B.He hardly ever asks strangers to take pictures of him.C.He has been interested in photography since childhood.D.He’s proud of the 15 most treasured photos taken by himself.5.Who came up with the idea of having a father-daughter trip when Sabina was 3 years old?A. Her mother.B. Her father.C. Sabina herselfD. An unknown tourist.6. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. children usually get to see life through adults’ eyesB. the 15 photos are meaningful to the author’s familyC. it takes the author a whole week to have a family photo takenD. the viewpoints of the author’s family never change with the time.7. What can be the best title of the text?A. Believe it or not; photos do changeB. Photos help a family become richC. Even strangers can help take photographsD. A father-daughter bond, one photo at a timeCA castle is a type of fortified（加固的）structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. This is different from a palace, which is no fortified-though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to diverse structures.The European castles originated in the 9th and 10th centuries, resulting in its land divided among nobles. These nobles built castles to control the area surrounding them, and they were both offensive and defensive structures. Although army uses are often emphasized in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local people and importanttravel routes, and rural castles were often built near farmland.Many castles were originally built from earth and wood, but had their defences supplanted later by stone. In the late 12th and early 13th centuries, scientific approaches to castle defence appeared, and could function to maximize the castle’s firepower. These changes in defence came from a mixture of castle technology. Although gunpowder was introduced to be built well into the 16th century, improved cannon（大炮）fire made them uncomfortable places to live in. As a result, true castles went into decline.From the 18th century onwards, there was a renewed interest in castles with the construction of mock （仿造的）castles, part of a romantic revival（复活）of Gothic architecture, but they had no defensive purpose.8. According to the first paragraph, we can know .A. the palace is a fortified structureB. the castle is different from the palaceC. the palace changed over timeD. the structures of the castle in different ages look the same.9. what does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Symbols of the European castles.B. Functions of the European castles.C. Influences of the European castles.D. Characteristics of the European castles.10. The underlined word “ supplanted ” in the third paragraph is closet in meaning to ““.A. producedB. savedC. protectedD. replaced11. What can be inferred from the river?A. Castles have nothing in common with palaces.B. Castles have a history of more than 1,000 years in Europe.C. Castles were mainly used for defensive purposes after the 18th century.D. The introduction of gunpowder instantly influenced castle building in Europe.DAll those Christmas toys and books may spread ,ore than good cheer. A new study has concluded thattwo common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections, and sore throat can live for long period in the surfaces of toys, books and other child-related items, even after being cleaned.The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than it has been believed.The researchers said the study suggests that additional precautions（预防措施）may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria arte spread.”Said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. “Never before had any paper proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surface, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals.”S. pneumoniae（肺炎链球菌）is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections; Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several surfaces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes（化脓性链球菌），even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.“ Beautiful colonization（细菌增值）doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first step if an infection is going to become established in a human host,” he explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected.”12. The first paragraph mainly tells us that the surfaces of books may .A. spread good cheerB. cause health problemsC. prevent infections sometimesD. help decrease infectious diseases13. In the new study, the researchers think that .A. people shouldn’t buy any presents for their kidsB. bacteria will not exist for so longC. bacteria on toys will be removed after being cleanedD. extra measures should be taken to avoid bacteria第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

the risk of sounding lazy，I'll just be honest：I used to hate making my bed．Why should I bother？I'm just going to get right back into it later，and no one except my immediate family will see it．But something I read last week in Charles Duhigg's"The Power of Habit"changed my mind．According to Duhigg，making your bed every morning is connected with better productivity and sticking to a budget．It has also been suggested that making your bed promotes happiness．My interest was attracted．According to Duhigg，making your bed is something called a keystone habit．Changing or forming keystone habits helps you develop other good habits．I figured that I was the perfect test case for the Make Your Bed to Achieve Happiness Theory and that it was worth a try．So far I've made my bed for 10days in a row．And here's what I've noticed：Making my bed inspires my children to make their beds，clean their rooms and do the laundry and the dishes．Karen Miller，author of"Hand Wash Cold"，explains："The state of your bed is the state of your head．"I think she is on to something．When I leave my bed in a heap （一堆），I leave the bedroom feeling defeated by my bed，my alarm clock，and my general sleepy mood．I'm reluctant to get the day started．But when I look at my freshly made bed，I have to admit it：I smile a little．I feel just a bit more motivated．Productive，even．But sticking to a budget？That part is still up for debate．I just bought some beautiful pillows for my freshly made bed．I can't leave that beautiful bedhalf-dressed，can I？4.The author decided to make her bed ______ ．A.to create a good impressionB.to form some keystone habitsC.under the influence of a bookD.at the request of her family5.After watching the author making her bed，the author's children ______ ．A.got up very earlyB.felt happier at homeC.began to share the houseworkD.loved her more than before6.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"reluctant"？______A.Curious．B.Regretful．C.Lucky．D.Unwilling．7.How does the author feel about the habit of making her bed？______A.It is a waste of time．B.It helps save money．C.It promotes communication．D.It makes a difference in life．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】24．C．细节理解题．根据第二段的But something I read last week in Charles Duhigg's"The Power of Habit"changed my mind可知，作者以前不爱叠被子，但是读了The Power of Habit一书后，她决定进行一些改变．故选C．25．C．推理判断题．根据第四段的Making my bed inspires my children to make their beds，clean their rooms and do the laundry and the dishes可知，作者的行为影响到她的孩子们，他们开始分担家务．故选C．26．D．词义猜测题．根据上一句When I leave my bed in a heap （一堆），I leave the bedroom feeling defeated by my bed，my alarm clock，and my general sleepy mood．和下一段的But一词可知，如果不叠被子，作者会感到哪里都是乱七八糟，不愿意开始新的一天，但是叠了被子心情就会好一些．故推断划线词意为"不愿意"．故选D．27．D．推理判断题．根据作者开始叠被子后的感受，特别是最后一段的I have to admit it：I smile a little．I feel just a bit more motivated．Productive，even可知，她认为叠被子确实让她的生活变得积极起来．故选D．本文是夹叙夹议文，作者以前讨厌叠被子，但是读过《习惯的力量》一书后她决定做一些改变，而她的行为也影响到了她的孩子们，使他们开始分配家务，作者通过这篇文章向我们讲述了好习惯的重要性．做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路．CSince 1984，Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act．One by one，graffiticovered walls are being changed into outdoor art．So far，more than 1，800murals （壁画）have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city．The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鸦）are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP）．Its work makes schools and public places attractive，and its citizens very proud．The program began as part of Philadelphia's AntiGraffiti Network．Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director．"When people ask me what our program is about，"she says，"I answer them with one word：hope"．Each year，the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops．Some onetime graffitiwriters even help paint MAP murals．The MAP's work，says Golden，is all about developing a sense of community （社区）．When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message．Some messages have been"Safe Streets"，"Love and Care"，and"Peace Walk"．The MAP receives up to 50requests for murals each week．Last year，the workers painted 140murals．"The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an

MAP？______A.Successful．B.Dangerous．C.Experimental．D.Difficult．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】D 【小题4】A【解析】28．A主旨大意题．根据第二段Jane Golden的话When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，当人们问及该项目是关于什么的时候，她用一个词来概括，即Hope，故选A29．B推理判断题．根据第一、二段The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鸦） are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，昔日曾经被涂鸦的墙壁正被美丽的壁画所覆盖，以使社区更具魅力，因此对抗涂鸦应是该项目的目的，故选B．30．D细节理解题．根据第三段第二句When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，当社区的居民请求画一张壁画时，该项目的工作人员就和当地的人们一起工作来拟定出一个主题，故选D．31．A推理判断题．根据第一段及倒数第二段So far，more than 1，800murals （壁画） have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city可知，该项目很成功，故选A．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们介绍了费城壁画的崛起和优点以及壁画艺术的美好前景，MAP团队在费城以hope为最大目的壁画项目进行的十分成功，成功对抗了墙壁涂鸦，为社区的和谐作出了巨大贡献．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题时，不要以个人的主观想象代替文章事实，要根据文章进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．DA strange，new dilemma faces Chinese pedestrians：should you help an elderly person who has fallen into the street？The answer seems simple．Your conscience forces you to help someone in danger．But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers．They accuse good Samaritans（好心人）of having knocked them over in the first place，and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation．There are frequent reports on such incidents and following disputes．On Sept 8，a new case happened in Huainan，Anhui province．Yuan Chen，a 20-year-old college student from Huainan Normal University，claimed that she helped an injured elderly woman on the street．But the woman's family has demanded that Yuan take full responsibilities for the injuries．Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot，both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names．The local police department is also investigating the case．But how can you possibly solve a case like this，where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints？"This kind of cases should follow the principle of‘the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim'，"Ye Lin，a law professor from Renmin University of China，told China Central Television．The burden of proof means the collection of proof or evidence．In civil cases，"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses，you should collect convincing proof to back your claim，"said Ye．"If you cannot do that，the law will not be able to support your claim．"The law may not resolve all the problems，however．Some elderly people choose to blackmail （敲诈）their helpers because they do not have health insurance．To prevent this，the country needs to put in place a better social security net．12.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph？______A.Conscience is troublesome because it compels you to help someone who will set you up in return．B.Sometimes the warm-hearted are wrongly accused of having knocked others over．C.It is advisable for Chinese people to turn a blind eye to someone in danger．D.There's no doubt that the elderly usually fell down on purpose to claim compensation．13.What does the sentence in paragraph 3"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"mean？______A.Both sides are in search of someone who can call out their names．B.Both sides are in search of evidence that can clarify their opinions．C.Both sides are in search of evidence that can wash away their crimes．D.Both sides are in search of someone who can prove they are telling the truth．14.What can we infer from Ye Lin，the law professor's words？______A.Ye Lin thinks it is Yuan Chen who is responsible for gathering proof．B.In civil cases，the accused should collect proof as well to reject the claim．C.The principle regards the accused as innocent until convincing proof can be provided．D.Since it is hard to collect convincing proof，both sides should take on the responsibility．15.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows？______A.To make comments on this hot social phenomenon．B.To emphasize the necessity of an improved social security system．C.To analyze deep causes of the elderly blackmailing their helpers．D.To illustrate the impact brought about by the blackmail on our society．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】32．B 细节理解题．根据第一段But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers．They accuse good Samaritans（好心人）of having knocked them over in the first place，and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation．可知很多国人发现一些伤者其实是骗子．他们讹诈好心人把自己撞倒，倒打一耙，进而索取高额赔偿．由此推知，有时热心人被错误地指责为把别人撞倒在地上．故选B．33．D 句意辨析题．根据第三段Since the incident happened in the security cameras'blind spot，both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names．The local police department is also investigating the case．But how can you possibly solve a case like this，where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints？可知由于事故发生在监控盲区，双发都在寻找证人．当地公安局也在调查该事件．不过在这种两方各执一词，证据也只是双方证词的情况下，如何解决纠纷？由此推知，"both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names"的意思是"双方都在寻找能证明他们说真话的人"．故选D．34．C 细节推理题．根据倒数第二段In civil cases，"if you accuse someone of causing you harm or losses，you should collect convincing proof to back your claim，"said Ye．"If you cannot do that，the law will not be able to support your claim．"可知叶林教授说"如果你指控他人对你造成伤害或损失，你就要收集支持自己诉讼的证据．如果你无法举证，那么法律将无法支持你的诉讼请求．"由此推知，直到有说服力的证明，这项原则才会将被告人视为无罪．故选C．35．B 理解推断题．根据最后一段可知，法律不是万能的．一些老人选择讹诈那些帮助他们的好心人，是因为他们没有医疗保险．为了避免类似事件，国家需要完善社会保险体系．由此推知，下文最有可能去强调一种改进的社会保障制度的必要性．故选B．本文主要介绍了一种社会现象．如果在路上看到一位老人摔倒，你扶还是不扶？这本来是一个非常简单的选择，但现在对很多人来说却是对价值观、人生观的巨大考验，因为伸出援手之后等待你的有可能是知恩图报，也有可能是恩将仇报．为了避免坏的事件，国家需要完善社会保险体系．本文考察学生的理解推断能力，抓住文章的关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节，能根据已知的结果推测导致结果的可能原因．II、信息匹配(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Part

2016年广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试(一)英语2016．3本试卷分第1卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。
考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。
第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A1.Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors.C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point — more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively — crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Bo ston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations — including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC — to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage.Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn — at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing — and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports — areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voiceto each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 r efer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Surfers grab your surfboards and head to Byron Bay, Shellharbour, or Newcastle’s Merewether Beach.

Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for all his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother’s printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked ti improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and work on electricity, including the “kite experiment”which confirmed the nature of lightning, made him famous throughout the world.Franklin earned the title of the “First American”for his efforts to unite the 13American stats, and to win their independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania. He is also famous today for his wise sayings, including “a penny saved is a penny earned” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.24. What is the article mainly about?A.

We must get used to computers that talk back.Last year, investment bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions. What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments in different businesses. But VITAL doesn’t attend board meetings or vote-it’s just a program. While it’s not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced.Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world. But they won’t look like us or pretend to be human.In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human-looking robot called Ava has human intelligence. I won’t spoil the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we’re told they are all the time. Indeed, if you stepped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world.Google’s Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn’t worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines. As powerful computer-based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness. Just as we have accepted the reality that it can also exist within the machine world.28. According to Professor Stephen Hawking, human beings __________.A. may be endangered by strong AIB. are still more intelligent than machinesC. will benefit greatly from the advances in AID. will never be able to build a strong AI system29. According to Paragraph 2, VITAL can __________.A. attend board meetings to voteB. make final decisions for the bankC. attract more investments to the bankD. assess the value of different businesses30. The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to __________.A. control people’s facial expressionsB. construct other intelligent machinesC. have a human-like physical appearanceD. change people’s speeches into different languages31. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence.B. Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines.C. Intelligent machines will eventually control the world.D. Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness.DMature-age university students are annoying, I know. I understand that when you’re 18 or 19, and already know everything, there’s no need to do the readings or show up prepared for class. I also understand that there are these old people in class who should be doing other things-maybe retiring, or gardening in he backyard. They are eagerly asking questions (or worse, answering them) and generally loud.I understand because I used to be one of them. I dropped out of high school in Year 11 and after playing guitar in a band for a few years, I spent the next ten years working different jobs. Then a friend, who thought I was wasting my life, suggested I enroll at his university. Although afraid, I eventually took a university preparation course and a year later became a 35-year-old university freshman.Like many mature-age students, after completing my degree, I continued studying and eventually attained my PhD.Now I’m a lecturer at Toronto University in Canada. In fact, I have just finished preparing a group of mature-age students to annoy next year’s young first years. My students come from many different backgrounds. But they all share an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning.I know they are ridiculous and show up to class with folders full of readings, minds overflowing with ideas and concepts they want to discuss. I was the same. But, contrary to the stereotype of the annoying mature-age students occupying the airtime in class, most don’t want to control the discussion.They’re likely to be waiting, counting away the seconds silently in the hope that someone will want to talk about all of these amazing ideas we’re learning about. Only after waiting for younger voices to speak (but which often remain silent).Speaking for myself, I love students who come prepared and ready to discuss stuff. So let’s celebrate all of those “annoying” mature-age students.32. According to the article, a mature-age student is a person __________.A. who behaves like an adultB. studying for a higher degreeC. not yet qualified to enter universityD. who starts university at an older age33.

What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Retired people.B. Early high school leavers.C. Mature-age university students.D. University students aged below 20.35. Why do mature-age students often wait before speaking in class?A. They are not very familiar with the topic being discussed.B. They want to give the younger students more chances to speak.C. They lack the ability to give their opinions.D. They are more interested in hearing others’ opinions.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
