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。
( A )
We don’t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams.But some people are lucky,like Matthew McConaughey.Once almost unknown,the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood.His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success.“The film relies on McConaughey’s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world,” Forbes commented.
But only years ago,the Texas native was often the butt of jokes (笑柄) about being too handsome.In 1993,after meeting with director Richard Linklater,McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused.And a Hollywood career was born,mostly in romantic comedies.For a long time,the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.
But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie,and began to use his looks differently.Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor.In 2013,McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club.The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick.His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.
The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech.When he was 15,the actor said,he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years.But 10 years later,he pushed the deadline ahead another decade.Then 10 years later,another decade.“My hero’s always 10 years away,”he said.“I’m never going to attain that.That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.”Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to follow his dreams.

Dear Amanda,
As the Dean of Yale College,I am writing to congratulate you on your academic success and to introduce you to Yale’s diverse opportunities....As you consider your college options,I hope that Yale remains among your top choices.
This is part of an e-mail I received this fall.I admit it made me feel pretty special to have Yale,one of the best universities in the world,approach me,a fairly average high school senior from New Jersey.
But why me?My grades are nothing to brag about.I didn’t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition.I haven’t led a team sport or conducted scientific research.
Later,I learned that each year,Yale sends mailings to roughly 80,000 potential students for its freshman class of 1,300.For the class of 2018,Yale rejected 93.7 percent of its applicants.And,according to the College Board,95 percent of Yale’s enrolled(注册入学)students were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.
Colleges want a top ranking by U.S.News & World Report.One way to get it?Low acceptance rates,which come from attracting lots and lots of applicants—and then rejecting almost all of them.
So schools mail fancy brochures and send sincere e-mails to many more students than they’ll accept.
Top schools defend their marketing,arguing that they’re reaching students who otherwise might not apply—because they don’t think they could get in,or don’t realize that most top schools offer lots of need-based financial aid.As William Fitzsimmons,dean of Harvard admissions,said:“There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go.The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good,but is that a reason not to try?”
But most of the students Fitzsimmons is talking about don’t consider Harvard because they’re not academically qualified.Kids like me don’t need false hope.Approaching students with a slim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment.
So Yale(and Brown and Columbia),stop selling me on impossible dreams.
25.Why did Yale send the author an e-mail?( )
A.To show it’s a top college.
B.To persuade her to apply to it.
C.To introduce its diverse courses.
D.To send its congratulations to her.
26.The underlined part “brag about” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A.worry about
B.think about
C.be proud of
D.be ashamed of
27.We can infer from Fitzsimmons’ words that .
A.a good beginning makes a good ending
B.a brave attempt is a half success
C.the older,the wiser
D.no pains,no gains
28.What does the author think of the approaches of top colleges?( )
A.She finds them easy to understand.
B.She seems satisfied with them.
C.She considers them necessary.
D.She finds them annoying.
( C )
If you are a first-time traveler,take a look at some places to visit in Louisiana.
Baton Rouge
The second largest city in the state,Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana.With the Mississippi river to the south,this is a major industrial and commercial center in the southern area.The Louisiana State Capitol area also plays host for the famous “Mardi Gras”parades.Other places of interest around here are Perkins Rowe,Louisiana State Museum and the Baton Rouge Zoo.

Avery Island
It is actually a salt dome,which is the home of a rock salt mine in use since the time of the Civil War.The name stands,because in the 1830s this place was the home of the Avery family.It was the American-Indians who discovered the presence of the salt dome here.Avery Island is also famous for the well-known Tabasco pepper sauce.

What exactly is intelligence?There aren’t any easy answers.Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology,human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science,until now,that is,for the discovery of a gene(基因)linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up.From their research,they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ.Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15.What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136,putting them in the top 5% of the population,while the other group had an average IQ of 103.An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question,while only 16% in the second group did.However,there is a lot more research to be done,and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage.He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence,rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success,although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this.Professor Michael Rowe,who has written a book called Genius Explained,is one of these.“ The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence,IQ isn’t everything.Many alternative views have been put forward recently.One example is the idea of multiple intelligences,which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner.This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory,including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.
Tony Buzan,brain expert and author of Master your Memory,is enthusiastic about this belief,arguing that true geniuses(天才)do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence.He lists Alexander the Great,Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples.At the same time,Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence,only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain.Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
32.What is the topic of the passage?( )
A.The relationship between genes and intelligence.
B.IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.
C.How to develop intelligence.
D.What makes intelligence.
33.Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?( )
A.To make a suggestion.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To prove an idea.
D.To give an example.
34.What can we learn from the passage?( )
A.Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.
B.Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.
C.Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.
D.Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.
35.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?( )
A.The development of intelligence.
B.The idea of multiple intelligences.
C.IQ isn’ t everything for intelligence.
D.Alternative views have been put forward.
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you’re taking a short business flight or a dream vacation around the world,here are some smart,simple green travel tips to make any trip a little easier on the planet.36. All trips can be green holidays.
Power Down
37. Don’t forget to turn down the temperature setting on your water heater,and unplug(拔掉……的电源插头)electronics like TV,computer,stereo equipment and other items on standby power—they use electricity even when they’re turned off.
38.
On your way to the airport,when traveling to your hotel,and all around your destination city,consider using public transit like airport shuttles,trains or buses.It’s tempting to cocoon yourself inside a private auto when you’re in a strange land,but by stepping out of a car and into the real world,you’ll meet more people,see more sights and have more fun than you ever could inside an auto.
Rent Small
If you need to rent a car,say “ No,thanks” to any offered upgrades to a larger vehicle.39. — a particular concern in places like Europe where gas prices can be very high.
Go Green:Go Paperless
Airlines have almost all gone ticketless;not only does this green travel trip save on paper,it also makes check-in faster and easier.40.
A.Green Travel:Go Car-free
B.Renting an economy car will save on gas charges,too
C.Eco-travel doesn’t have to mean going on an exotic adventure.
D.Green Travel:Pack Smart
E.Some hotels,too,allow guests to check out using their hotel’s in-house TV programming.
F.But when you treat your hotel room as if you were paying the electric bill,you’ll find lots of ways to green your travels.
G.If your green travel plans leave an empty house behind,unplug and power down as many appliances as you can is practical.

第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从41～60各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
In our culture people always advise us to compare ourselves with others.“You can win;the others aren’t as 41 as you,”“You must be the best in your class,”etc.This is not the best way of thinking.There are many reasons to 42 this way of thinking and begin to compare ourselves 43 with ourselves.
The first reason to 44 comparing yourself with others is that there will always be someone better than you.It doesn’t matter in which aspect;it is always 45 .Therefore,you could feel inferior(差的)to others.For example,you can be the best 46 ,and this can make you feel extremely 47 .But if someday you find someone is better than you are,you could feel 48 ,although you are 49 good at designing buildings.
The second reason to avoid this kind of 50 is that you will always find someone 51 than you.This of course can make you feel good,but this feeling can turn into a 52 pride.For example,if you are the second best student in your class,and one day the very best student 53 the school,you will then be the best one 54 you are still only as good as you were before.
The last but most 55 reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is that when we do,we are likely to 56 them.We may do the same things as them,and act and think like them too.Then we will never know who we 57 are and what we really want,and then we will never grow spiritually.
For all these reasons and because we are 58 ,we should not compare ourselves with others.In this way,we will not feel less or more than others,and we will 59 ourselves as we really are. 60 ,we will be happier.
41.A.good B.happy C.busy D.young
42.A.introduce B.understand C.change D.remember
43.A.even B.again C.also D.only
44.A.start B.forget C.avoid D.enjoy
45.A.doubtful B.true C.smart D.strange
46.A.architect B.teacher C.student D.speaker
47.A.tired B.proud C.lucky D.anxious
48.A.silly B.sad C.shy D.nervous
49.A.just B.rather C.almost D.still

“Never give up” means keeping trying but never stopping working for your goals.A person who ever gives up will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how much times he fails.If you want to succeed,you mustn’t give up.One reason is that if we give up easy,we can hardly succeed.It is unusual for us to fail in our first try at something new,so we should not feel disappointing and should try again.Another reason why we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistake if we try hard to do something new.If we do not try again,the lesson we have learned was wasted.Finally,we should never give up that as we work to reach our goals,we develop skills,and it can help you succeed in other areas of our lives.

“Never give up” means keeping trying but never stopping working for your goals. A person who ever gives up will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how much times he fails. If you want to succeed, you mustn’t give up. One reason is that if we give up easy, we can hardly succeed. It is unusual for us to fail in our first try at something new, so we should not feel disappointing and should try again. Another reason why we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistake if we try hard to do something new. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned was wasted .Finally, we should never give up that as we work to reach our goals, we develop skills, and it can help you succeed in other areas of our lives.

One possible version:
Dear Mr.Jack,
I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on English culture tomorrow afternoon.
My grandma has been in hospital for several days.She has got a serious cold and I have to look after her,for my parents are on business.
I am very interested in English culture.I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded,and if so,could I borrow the tape?It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and make up for what is covered in the talk.I would appreciate it if you could allow me to ask for a leave of absence.
Thank you.
Yours,
Li Hua

A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin，of Parsons The New School for Design in New York，attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts，the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough，others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music. Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn. Chacin showed her device，called Play-A-Grill，at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said，“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable，and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth，sound can be spread using bone conduction hearing 1

Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新课标I） 英语试卷类型A 第Ⅰ卷 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.
