As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free - form gestures –sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal infor mation we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free - form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.The researchers carried out a create - test - retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free - form gestures as passwords. To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens (触摸屏), attempt to steal a free - form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free – form passwords in the future. They believe this is the firststudy to explore free - form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.32. What can we learn about free - form gestures?A. They are improving mobile security in a way.B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures.C. They will never be copied by others.D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.33. The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _________ of free - form gestures.A. templateB. applicationC. accuracyD. security34. According to the text, the researchers think that ________.A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eyeB. better ways of setting passwords should be developedC. people had better not use smart phones to pay billsD. personal information should not be stored in a phone35. The main purpose of the text is to ________.A. advise people to use free - form gesturesB. discuss whether smart phones are safeC. talk about the practicality of passwordsD. introduce the study of a new password参考答案32---35 ADBD【2014高考英语二诊考试】请阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的A,B,C,D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

广东汕尾市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解精选训练(3)高考英语阅读理解提升全程训练及答案阅读理解Goldie's SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have givenher a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.( ) 1. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.( ) 2. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .AI felt worried B. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire( ) 3. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home( ) 4. The passage is organized in order of .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexity阅读技巧:夹叙夹议,叙为议服务,议为叙指导。

第一编专题一考点3真题题组A(2017·全国Ⅲ,D) The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB”in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe,the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools,night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains:“For many older people,particularly those living alone or in the country,driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others. ”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to. ”Dr Amy Guo,the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains:“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”For example,most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly,we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel. ”文章大意:本文是一篇科普说明文,介绍了智能交通团队建立移动实验室,研究老年人开车存在的问题和难点,帮助老年人安全驾驶。

However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.When therapy wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I'd feel a surge(涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.After 3­4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life!4.What made the author sign up for the yoga class?A.Her currently disabled knee.B.Her being uncoordinated.C.Her failure to find her car.D.Her serious mental disease.5.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A.Lack of confidence prevented her doing yoga.B.The temperature was difficult to bear in yoga classes.C.She couldn't stand the pain the knee injury brought.D.She was greatly impacted by negative thoughts at first.6.What effect did yoga have on the author?A.She did better than her classmates at school.B.Her physical and mental states have improved a lot.C.She has developed many healthy eating habits.D.Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes.7.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To share her experience in taking yoga classes.B.To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses.C.To present the benefits of practicing yoga regularly.D.To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga.CAnimal and plant species are disappearing at frightening rates. The problem has led to efforts to “rewild” places where such life existed before human development, pollution and climate change forced it out. The American city of Detroit is an example of how human actions can increase rewilding, which generally means helping natural systems in damaged locations, removing dams or building tunnels to reconnect animal pathways cut by roads.Detroit's population reached a high of 1.8 million in the 1950s. Then the population began dropping. By 2000, there were fewer than one million people living in the city. Thousands of houses and other buildings were left empty over the years. Some structures were destroyed, leaving empty areas that plants and animals regained as habitats. Nonprofit groups have also planted trees and community gardens in these areas. Bald eagles found their way back as bans on DDT and some other insect poisons were put in place nationwide. Anti­pollution laws and government­supported cleanups made nearby rivers better for fish and native plants.Now, Detroit is home to 300 bird species and is a busy visiting place for ducks and others during migration. Additionally, this city offers a special way to study plants and animals in urban settings. Unlike most big cities, its population is decreasing but its streets and buildings remain in place. And there are many kinds of habitats, including large lakes, rivers and human neighborhoods. Detroit's parklands are so quiet that people don't even know they're in the city.“It used to be that you had to go to some remote location to get exposure to nature,” said John Hartig, a professor of University of Windsor. “Now that's not the case. Like it or not, rewilding will occur. The question is how we can prepare communities and environments to anticipate the presence of more and more wildlife. After all, many city people have lost their tolerance to live with wildlife. To really make a difference in dealing with the biodiversity crisis, you're going to have to have people on board.”8.What might have happened in Detroit at the beginning of 21st century?A.The city was overpopulated.B.More community gardens were built.C.Many buildings were deserted.D.The environment was badly damaged.9.What does the example of Detroit mainly tell us?A.It's government­supported efforts that really matter.B.Humans' efforts can make a difference in rewilding.C.Humans are to blame for the worsening environment.D.It's hard to humans and wildlife to live in harmony.10.What can we infer about current Detroit from the text?A.It is a big city crowded with tourists and bird species.B.Tourists don't show any interest in the quiet surroundings.C.It's turned into a place where people can get close to nature.D.It's become a center for those who study animals and plants.11.What does the underlined word “anticipate” in the last paragraph mean?A.Protect. B.Expect.C.Imagine. D.Delay.DThe Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing (FPCIW) launched a Bear Robotics ‘Servi’ pilot in June 2022 to help ease the challenges for senior dining services. In senior care, difficult as having a major change can be, the FPCIW took strategic steps to maximize the chances of the robotics pilot being a success. Davis Park, vice president at FPCIW, feels the pilot's success was largely due to the pre­deployment conversations and focus group discussions held. “We strongly believe that a little investment in the groundwork can make all the difference in a successful or failed technology project in senior living communities,” he says.Clear, open, and honest conversation around the pilot helped to prepare staff and residents for the robots' introduction. “Change is always hard,” says Park. “The open discus sions we had weeks in advance were helpful to make sure residents and staff felt heard about concerns they had about how ‘the robots are taking over’ or ‘this is going to take my job away.’” He notes that the FPCIW worked to reach out directly to those individuals who disagree or feel uncomfortable and to understand their pain points.The focus on deliberate and clear messaging also helped to address concerns surrounding the pilot. Messaging was delivered in person as early as eight weeks before the robots were introduced to the community dining rooms. Multiple open forums leading up to the “go­live” kickoff created the opportunity to answer questions and address concerns. “We also distributed digital and physical copies of flyers and letters to all residents. And with that, we were able to head off many of the concerns and worries before they became problems and barriers to adoption.”When it comes to using robots in dining services, Park has a word for senior care operators. “Listen. Make sure to create the time and space for residents and staff to air their concerns, and also be prepared for those who may not be ready,” he says. “And just as importantly, if not more: Make it fun! During our go­live event, we covered the dining room with robot­themed decorat ions and had the robots pass out robot­themed candies and champagne (香槟).”12.What is the key to the pilot's being successful?A.Putting in much time.B.Investing massive money.C.Providing chances of research maximally.D.Having sufficient communications beforehand.13.Why do some people object to the pilot?A.They find robots unfriendly.B.They fear their unemployment.C.They consider robots unreliable.D.They think the robot hard to operate.14.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Concerns on the pilot.B.Ways of delivering messages.C.Means of writing letters to residents.D.Barriers to accepting the dining robots.15.What's Park's advice for operators?A.To be sociable and grateful.B.To be cautious and generous.C.To be tolerant and optimistic.D.To be patient and considerate.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Below is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red,why are veins(静脉) blue?Actually,veins are not blue at all.They are more of a clear,yellowish colour.Although blood looks red when it's outside the body,when it's sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin,it's more of a dark reddish purple colour.At the right depth,these blood­filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin,making them look blue by comparison. Which works harder,your heart or your brain?That kind of depends on whether you're busy thinking or busy exercising.Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise,and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.But,in the long run,your brain probably tips it,because even when you're sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart,and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.Why do teeth fall out,and why don't they grow back in grown­ups?Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long;they fall out to make room for bigger,stronger adult teeth later on.Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged,decayed and infected by bacteria.Once this second set of teeth has grown in,you're done.When they're gone,they're gone.This is because nature figures you're set for life,and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.Do old people shrink as they age?Yes and no.Many people do get shorter as they age.But,when they do,it isn't because they're shrinking all over.They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力).Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older.Men lose an average of 3­4 cm in height as they age,while women may lose 5 cm or more.If you live to be 200 years old,would you keep shrinking till you were,like 60 cm tall,like a little boy again?No,because old people don't really shrink!It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs,arms and backbones getting shorter.When they do get shorter,it's because the spine has shortened a little.Or,more often,become more bent and curved.Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're feeling.The brain senses that you're spinning using special gravity­and­motion­sensing organs in your inner ear,which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable.But,when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control,and your brain thinks you're moving while you're not!Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system.All mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs,cats,and humans.So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear,pain and pleasure.But since human feelings also involve other,newer bits of the brain,we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the planet.If exercise wears you out,how can it be good for you?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.And as far as your body is concerned,it's “use it,or lose it”!It's not that exercise makes you healthy;it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.1.What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin? A.Blue. B.Light yellow.C.Red. D.Dark reddish purple.解析细节理解题。

Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your reader everything about the book, because t hen they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective(客观的). This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist(女权主义者) would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lensof a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership. Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another w riter’s style and write about them intelligently.1. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A. Standards of good book reviews.B. Benefits of writing book reviews.C. Ways to get your writing published.D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.2. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review?A. Including much information on a major point of the book.B. Stating clearly the writer’s opinion of the book.C. Giving a brief summary of the book.D. Avoiding describing the book.3.

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed,through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.17. How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?A. They resemble human friends exactly.B. They are unfamiliar types we like.C. They never desert us.D. They never hurt our feelings.18. Which of the following is true?A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of thebooks.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colorful life.D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books.19. The word “weary” means ______.A. “to attract someone’s attention”B. “to distract someone’s attention”C. “to make someone very tired”D. “to make someone interested”20. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____________.A. in books the world is more accessible to usB. we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC. we can make a claim to everything in this worldD. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge[全解全析]本书主要讲读好书的益处。

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million. But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first £1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer.

A(2017·太原高三一模)(导学号 58210075)Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make yo u feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”.They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it's free.【语篇解读】文章简述了一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walking。

You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people.Long­living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous have no impact on whether study participants are likely to live longer.Those who are more self­disciplined, for instance, are no more likely to live to be very old.Also, being open to new ideas have no relationship with long life,which might explain all those bad ­tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of de pressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.8.According to the author,outgoing and sympathetic people________.A.have a good understanding of evolutionB.are probably more active and neuroticC.are more likely to recover from hardshipD.generally appear more resourceful9.What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?A.Helpful people can live a relatively long life.B.Being self­disciplined makes no difference to longevity.C.Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.D.Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.10.What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A.Mothers’ depression may affect their children’s life spans.B.People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.C.Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.D.Children’s personality characteristics are always shaped bytheir mothers.11.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A.Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B.A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.C.Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.D.A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.D(2017·检测二)You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors, and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s China Daily“21st Century·Coca ­Cola Cup” National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary.The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion, Zhu Xue, is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runners­up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what? Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student, majoring in interactive media art.Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example, Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition, a skill probably honed(磨炼) in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.Qu Weiguo, a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges, believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂拥而来) ahead.“English majors may be superior at their language skills, but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments,” he said.Throughout the past 20 years, contestants at the competition have transitioned(变迁) from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.12.The underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 1 refers to “________”.A.permitted B.controlledC.hosted D.taught13.Who won the first place in the latest National English Speaking Competition?A.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai.B .Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University.C.Zhu Xue from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.D.Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.14.According to the passage, what should English major competitors pay more attention to in the future?A.The content of the speeches.B.A good command of English language.C.Skills of making a speech.D.A cool head.15.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP:Central Point P:Point Sp:Sub­point(次要点) C:Conclusion 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 Result of the Falling US Dollar)Like a ticking time bomb, the falling dollar has grabbed the attention of Japan and West Germany, forcing them to consider adopting economic polices the United States advocates. The U.S. government wants the dollar to fall because as the dollar declines in value against the yen and Deutsche mark, U.S. good becomes cheaper. U.S. companies then sell more at home and abroad, and U.S. trade deficit declines. Cries for trade protection abate, and the global free-trade system is preserved.Then, the cheaper dollar makes it cheaper for many foreign investors to snap up U.S. stocks. That prompts heavy buying from abroad—especially from Japan. Also, if the trade picture is improving, that means U.S. companies eventually will be more competitive. Consequently, many investors are buying shares of export-oriented U.S. companies in anticipation of better profits in the next year or so. But that is a rather faddish notion right now; if corporate earnings are disappointing in interest rates, the stock market rally could stall.Improving U.S. competitiveness means a decline in another’s competitiveness.Japan and West Germany are verging on recession. Their export-oriented economies are facing major problems. Japan is worried about the damage the strong yen will do to Japanese trade. West Germany is also worried. Share prices in Frankfurt plummeted this past week. Bonn is thought to be considering a cut in interest rates to boost its economy.Could the falling dollar get out of hand? If the dollar falls too far, investors might lose confidence in U.S. investments—especially the government bond market. The money to finance the federal budget and trade deficits could migrate elsewhere. Inflation could flare up, too, since Japanese and German manufacturers will eventually pass along price hikes—and U.S. companies might follow suit to increase their profit margins. The U.S. federal Reserve then might need to step in and stabilize the dollar by raising interest rates. And higher interest rates could cause the U.S. economy to slow down and end the Wall Street Rally.Worried about these side effects, Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcher has said the dollar has fallen far enough. What is the equilibrium level? Probably near where it is or slightly lower. It all depends on when the U.S. trade deficit turns around or if investors defect from U.S. Treasury Bonds. “It requires a good deal of political patience on the part of the U.S. Congr ess,” says Dr. Cline, “And there must be an expectation of patience on the part of private investors. The chance are relatively good that we will avoid an investor break or panic.”1. What is the main idea of this passage?[A]. The impression of the falling U.S. dollar..

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won t he race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.1.

(The Importance of Independent Thinking)No one can be a great thinker who does not realize that as a thinker it is her first duty to follow her intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. No that it is solely, of chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is required. One the contrary, it is as much or even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. There have been and many again be great individual thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been, nor ever will be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people. Where any of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended, where there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed: where the discussion of the greatest questions which can occupy humanity is considered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that generally high scale of mental activity which has made some periods of history so remarkable. Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of a people stirred up fro9m its foundation and the impulse given which raised even persons of the most ordinary intellect to something of the dignity of thinking beings.She who knows only her own side of the case knows little of that. Her reasons may be food, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if she s equally unable to refute the reasons of the opposite side; if she does not so much as know what they are, she has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for her would be suspension of judgment, and unless she contents herself with that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world the side to which she feels the most inclination. Nor is it enough that she should heat the arguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations, That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with her own mind. She must be able to hear them form persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. She must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; she must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of; else she will never really possess herself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty. Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated persons are in this condition; even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions. Their conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know; they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently form them and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves profess.1.The best title for this passage is[A] The Age of Reason The need for Independent Thinking[C] The Value of Reason [D] Stirring People’s Minds2.According to the author, it is always advisable to[A] have opinions which cannot be refuted.adopt the point of view to which one feels the most inclination.[C] be acquainted with the arguments favoring the point of view with which one disagrees,[D] suspend heterodox speculation in favor of doctrinaire approaches.3.According to the author, in a great period such as the Renaissance we may expect to find[A] acceptance of truth controversy over principles[C] inordinate enthusiasm [D] a dread of heterodox speculation4.According to the author, the person who holds orthodox beliefs without examination may be described in all of the following ways EXCEPT as[A] enslaved by tradition less than fully rational[C] determinded on controversy [D] having a closed mind5.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements[A] A truly great thinker makes no mistakes.Periods of intellectual achievement are periods of unorthodox reflection,[C] The refutation of accepted ideas can best be provided by one’s own teachers.[D] excessive controversy prevents clear thinking,Vocabulary1. stature 高度,境界,状况2. heterodox 不合乎公认的标准的,异端的,异教的3. tacit 心照不宣4. refute 反驳5. adversary 对立面,对手,敌人6. plausible 善于花言巧语的/辞令的,似乎有理的/有可能的7. doctrine 教义,学说8. profess 表示,明言,承认,自称,信奉难句译注1. True gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, then by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.[参考译文] 真理甚至从一个经过恰当研究和准备进行独立思考的人的错误中获得更多的东西,而从那些只是因为不予思考却持有正确的观点中获得的少(一种经过恰当的研究和准备进行独立思考的人犯的错误,另一种人是不予思考的却持有正确的观点,真理从前者错误中获得的东西比从后者的正确观点中获得的要多)。

2014高考训练题A Full-Time School Called LifeYou are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them,but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook, however, is that there is no answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.The challenge here, therefore, is to keep yourself up with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be radically different from others. But remember don’t compare your path to the people’s around you and focus on the disparity between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Every one’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your ownspecial uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself from feelings of bitterness and anger.26.According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?A. Having the same opinions as others.B. Taking the distinct path from others.C. Learning the lessons presented to you.D. Doing the different things from others.27. From the passage we know _______.A. everyone has his own track to followB. the same thing usually happens to the peersC. a painful divorce must lie in financial problemsD. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage28. In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with _______.A. are beyond your powerB. keep you from growthC. limit your developmentD. help you with your success29. Which of the following is TRUE?A. All things are equal and justice will always prevail.B. You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.D. The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school. 30.Life is called a full-time school, because _______.A. it is full of all lessons to learnB. you have plenty of time to learn lessonsC. you meet with specific lessons every dayD. there are so many subjects for you to choose【参考答案】26-30: CADBC【陕西省西安市第一中学2014高考英语二模试题】DThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, and pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement. Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Coupl es with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates (解放)money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 【小题1】According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement【小题2】From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance【小题3】What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D【小题3】A阅读理解 (共25小题;每小题2分,满分50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。
