安徽芜湖市2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）基础演练（4）含答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My newly—rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job，so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers。
This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train，and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations。
The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful，useful, a good man in a crisis（艰难危险时期）. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre。

高考通关卷2016年新课标全国高考英语模拟试题(四)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。
ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do－it－yourself, father－and－son adventure，” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30，000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2，000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)．”21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________．A．collecting money on the InternetB．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________．A．cheap and commonB．strange and valuableC．personal and lovelyD．basic and solid24．What's the best title for the text?A．A DIY Enthusiast B．A Helping HandC．A Great Adventure D．A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25．Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________．A．sad B．surprisedC．nervous D．disappointed26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A．He should try to find its owner.B．He could wear it for Halloween.C．He should return it to West Point.D．He could send it to others for free.27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________．A．the jacket was made thereB．the jacket's owner worked thereC．the workers there needed the jacketD．the jacket might be collected by the museum28．According to the text, Kim McDermott ________．A．happened to be the owner of the jacketB．was a student graduating from West PointC．could find a record of the graduatesD．was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson，” said Mr.Smith，“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry，—but you'll have to go.” “But，sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that！” said the boss.“Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know，sir.But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then，suddenly，he said，“We've got to close your department，Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out，with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read：I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人)．But don't worry about me，Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son，Herbie 29．Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________．A．Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB．Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC．Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD．Watson's department didn't earn money that year30．We can learn from the text that ________．A．Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB．Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC．Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD．Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31．According to the text，which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for t hese kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider－Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，” he told TFK.33．What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?A．To donate books to libraries and schools.B．To encourage students to use the library.C．To excite children's interest in reading.D．To introduce some new comic books.34．By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Parag raph 3, Drake Bell means ________．A．comic books make kids imaginative and interestedB．there are colorful pictures in most comic booksC．common books with only words are bad for kidsD．comic books are much better than common books35．Who stressed the benefit of reading?A．Drake Bell. B．Dylan Riley Snyder.C．Olivia Holt. D．David Levine.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。

Even before my father left us，my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining，“Mom, I can’t peel potatoes。

( A )A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “Mind the gap” announcement、The Underground,or the tube,first opened in 1863,tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow,Margaret McCollum,told them what it meant to her、McCollum,65,said she used to frequently visit Embankmenl tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice,even before his death、She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice、“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned(试音)for the tube recording、He went on to become a theater actor and then worked for a tour company、For six years after his death,I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,”she added、When Margaret approached the tube,she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore、Nigel Holness,director of London Underground,said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep、“ Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added、“It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year、The tube’s Mind the gap messages,voiced by various actors,have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s、Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that、”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,”Margaret said、“He was a great London transport user all his life、He would be amused,touched and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged、”21、The best title for the passage is 、A、Mind Your StepB、Mind Your GapC、A Widow’s WishD、The Tube’s Struggle22、The underlined phrase “taken aback” means 、A、disappointedB、amazedC、excitedD、shocked23、Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the passage?

can be equal to Oswald’s voice、D、The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers、( B )In the past,teachers were limited to what they could do when it came to how they could present lesson plans and information to their pupils、Commonly they would stand in front of a podium and lecture to students about the lesson of the day、Sometimes a teacher might write something on the board,maybe even have students read out loud from a book,yet that would be it、Basically in the past,there was not much interaction(交流) going on between the teacher and the students、Now,teachers have all sorts of choices when it comes to how they can teach their students and it could not have come any sooner、One is actually a whiteboard that is interactive、So not only can teachers display things for their students to see in colour,but teachers can also change up what is being displayed on the screen through the use of a wireless device that is typically in the shape of a pen or laser pointer、To change what is being displayed on the screen,all the teacher has to do is point at the screen using the device and just like that,things are moving、No longer are lesson plans stagnant,but they come to life right before the students’eyes、Another is a touch pad screen where teachers can actually walk around the room to teach their students、The screens themselves are similar to other name brand touch screens that are almost like small computers、They are extremely handy and perfect for situations where the teacher likes to get up and get going、Along with that,SmartEd Services is a portable audio

Iron Man,cool gadgets(装备)like smart watches and high-tech glasses impress audiences、Now the real world is welcoming them、The world of wearable technology is quietly growing,and it’s planning to take over、Let’s look at some of the gadgets to look out for、HeadwearReading on a bus or while you’re running often makes you dizzy(眩晕的)、But with a small wearable device called Run-n-Read,you won’t feel dizzy any more、You can wear it on your headband or your T-shirt、It tracks(追踪) your head movements and then moves the text on the screen of your iPad or other reading device at the same time as your eyes、Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down,for you the text looks perfectly still、Your head moves,but the words do not、BraceletsWearing a sensory bracelet (手镯) can help you find out where you’ve run,how many calories you’ve burned,how deep your sleep was,and many more things、A few companies have already been producing great fitness tracking devices for some time、But it seems that FitBit will get the most attention in 2015 with its new bracelets,the FitBit Surge、The Surge has an LED touch display screen、This allows you to control your smartphone and see who is calling or messaging you、It also has eight different sensors(感应元件) and can record many different sporting activities、ShoesIf you’ve ever got tired of looking at your smartphone frequently for directions when visiting a place,you might want to try Lechal smart shoes、The shoes work by using Bluetooth to connect to a phone App、After you’ve entered the destination you want to go to on your

using special shoes、( D )Melbourne,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、As an English-speaking country,you won’t be faced with any language barriers、Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets,which promote equality among the sexes、Why it’s a great choice:Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere,and as a travel hot-spot,there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers、Well known for being very cheap,especially in the north、A good choice if you want to get away on a budget、Thailand has a lot to offer,from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带) jungle、Hong Kong,ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes、Why it’s a great choice:Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world、If you’re not well-traveled,or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers,Hong Kong is a great place to start,as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time、Bali,IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches、The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction、Why it’s so great:You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali、Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way、As a Hindu island,Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修)、The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys,anyway、33、Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and

Three years ago, the president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, got into trouble for questioning women’s“intrinsic (内在的)aptitude (能力)〞for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by America’s National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests. Although boys in high school performed better than girls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.“Now that enrollment in advanced math courses is equalized, we don’t see gender differences in test performance,〞 said Marcia C. Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. “But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes are still there.〞The researchers looked at the average test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.Janet Hyde, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math, had taken a toll (造成伤害).“The stereotype that boys do better at math is still held widely by teachers and parents,〞hyde said. “And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors (顾问)steering (指导)girls away from engineering, telling them they won’tbe able to do the math.〞The study also analyzed the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100, 000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls’ average score.1. What might be the reason to carry out the study?A. To put HarvardUniversity to shame for its president’s prejudice against girls.B. To find out if there’s any gender gap in science.C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.2. Which statement about people’s opinions of girls is NOT true?A. People still find it hard to believe average girls perform in math as well as boys.B. Highly educated people are more likely to accept the fact that girls can do well in math.C. Many teachers and parents advise girls to avoid careers like engineering based on their talent.D. Some guidance counselors think careers related with math are not suitable for girls.3. We can learn from the text EXCEPT ______.A. girls used to perform worse than boys in math because they didn’t take as many advanced math coursesB. the stereotype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future careersC. the average lower scores of girls in SAT math test prove that boys do better in mathD. the public doesn’t accept outspoken prejudice against girls’ talent for math despite the stereotype4. The main purpose of writing the passage is to______.A. report the findings of a research into girls’ math abilityB. criticize those who hold the wrong belief that girls cannot do well in mathC. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrongD. help girls regain confidence in learning math well【参考答案】1—4、BBCA【由山东省2014模拟改编】阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最优选项。

When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 square－foot mansion. Debbie's kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps.As adults，they realize what Debbie gave them was far more important—permission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了Debbie Macomber坚持不懈地追逐自己的梦想，最后取得成功的故事。

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。
ATwelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. But it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the assistance of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.21. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. It was impossible for the author to get a job then.B. Many local people were out of work in Florida.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there.D. The author rejected many chances to get a job in Florida.22. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.23. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author_____.A. had lived with his relatives happily.B. had won his degree in a university.C. had been struggling financially.D. had lost hope of facing the future.24. From his experience, the author learns that ______.A. misfortune may be an actual blessing.B. a friend in need is a friend indeed.C. where there is a will there is a way.D. one good turn deserves another.BThe winter vacation is just around the corner. With such a long holiday to spend, have you decided where to get yourself relaxed from the great pressure of school study? Our company specializes in civil tours. We take pride in offering you the best services and in providing you with a vacation that will be fondly remembered. The following places can be your unforgettable destinations in our country.A.

Sydney Olympic ParkHome of the Best Games Ever and 2003 Rugby World, Sydney Olympic Park is a gold medal attraction and continues to serve as a major sport and social venue.Apart from its ultra-modern sport venues, Sydney Olympic Park is set in extensive parklands.

Art Gallery of New South WalesLocated within a short walking distance from Sydney's CBD, the Art Gallery of New South Wales is one of Australia's foremost art museums housing some of the finest works of art in the country.The Gallery has a rich and diverse collection including key works of the Heidelberg School and favorite modern Australian artists including Brett Whiteley and Margaret Preston, as well as permanent Australian, European, Asian, contemporary and photographic galleries.D.

You can watch Koalas Show at ____.A. 10:20 P.M.B. 11:20 P.M.C. 2:00 P.M.D.3:00 A.MCA survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children．I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them．Child—rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf．Then he’ d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees．My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food．The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured l7 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds．Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time．Here are some famous slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates: “ If you’ re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’ t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’ t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W．Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”28. The tone for the writer to write the passage is .A. cruelB. humorousC. disapprovingD. critical29. In paragraph 2 the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that .A. females love kids more than malesB. males are not good at child—rearingC. my dad is not interested in child-rearingD. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males30. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. storiesB. shortcomingsC. mistakesD. advantages31. The last paragraph is mainly developed by .A. providing different examplesB. following the order of spaceC. making comparisonsD. analyzing causesDWe know the famous ones--the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells--but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who"invented "what", however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, "When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. "Her students agree. One young man with a patent(专利证）for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention," said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive. " Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?32. By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper", the author indicates that countless inventions are ________.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous33. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to ________.A. add color and variety to students' campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper's inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own inventions34. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ________.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?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。

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（触发器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言语地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．"1．In Britain people with dementia _ _．A．are likely to increase in number B．are mostly over 65 years oldC．will be trained to respond to sound triggers D．will be able to live a relatively normal life2．The dogs are taught to perform tasks by -．A．making some sound signals B．communicating with the patientsC．reminding the patients by barking D．reacting to some sound triggers3．What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Faces．B．Triggers．C．Pets．D．Companions．4．What is mainly talked about in the passage?A．The idea of dementia dogs was developed by students．B．Dogs are trained to assist Alzheimer's patients．C．British people with Alzheimer's are in poor condition．D．The dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor．参考答案1—4、BCBD说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2013福建,D)改编Pride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen’s most famous work,might be updated,200 years on.Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life,as would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men,however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“ My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day,“ have you heard that the local store,standing empty for so long,is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.“But it is,it is,” she replied excitedly.Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well,clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”“Well,my dear,the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England,though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me.She will move in herself next month.”“What is her name?”“Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”“How so? How can it possibly affect them? ”“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”“ Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“ Nonsense,my love,how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I’m told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“ Me? No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks,after all.She may even offer you a job.”“Oh,that’s not like ly.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it,I think I’ll go along all the same.”And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company....It would remain the case,of course,that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Still,she’d no dou bt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?( )A.Austen was born 200 years ago.B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C.Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.D.Austen’s updated work gains popularity.2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet . A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB.felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC.was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD.had a great curiosity about Bingley3.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet,Bingley surely needed one of their boys to .A.get married toB.work for herC.help her move inD.take over her store4.What does the writer intend to tell us?( )A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B.Women have to pay a high price for success.C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.语篇解读:英国著名小说家简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》批判了性别歧视观念。

( A )A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “Mind the gap” announcement.The Underground,or the tube,first opened in 1863,tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow,Margaret McCollum,told them what it meant to her.McCollum,65,said she used to frequently visit Embankmenl tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice,even before his death.She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned(试音)for the tube recording.He went on to become a theater actor and then worked for a tour company.For six years after his death,I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,”she added.When Margaret approached the tube,she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness,director of London Underground,said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep.“ Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added.“It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.The tube’s Mind the gap messages,voiced by various actors,have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s.Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,”Margaret said.“He was a great London transport user all his life.He would be amused,touched and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged.”21.The best title for the passage is .A.Mind Your StepB.Mind Your GapC.A Widow’s WishD.The Tube’s Struggle22.The underlined phrase “taken aback” means .A.disappointedB.amazedC.excitedD.shocked23.Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the passage? ( )a.Oswald died.b.Margaret approached the tube.c.Oswald auditioned for the tube recording.d.Oswald graduated from a drama school.e.Oswald’s recording was replaced.A.d-c-a-e-bB.d-c-b-e-aC.c-d-a-b-eD.e-d-a-b-c24.What can we infer from the passage?( )A.Oswald was an outstanding actor in London.B.Oswald’s voice is a great comfort to Margaret.C.No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D.The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.( B )In the past,teachers were limited to what they could do when it came to how they could present lesson plans and information to their monly they would stand in front of a podium and lecture to students about the lesson of the day.Sometimes a teacher might write something on the board,maybe even have students read out loud from a book,yet that would be it.Basically in the past,there was not much interaction(交流) going on between the teacher and the students.Now,teachers have all sorts of choices when it comes to how they can teach their students and it could not have come any sooner.One is actually a whiteboard that is interactive.So not only can teachers display things for their students to see in colour,but teachers can also change up what is being displayed on the screen through the use of a wireless device that is typically in the shape of a pen or laser pointer.To change what is being displayed on the screen,all the teacher has to do is point at the screen using the device and just like that,things are moving.No longer are lesson plans stagnant,but they come to life right before the students’ eyes.Another is a touch pad screen where teachers can actually walk around the room to teach their students.The screens themselves are similar to other name brand touch screens that are almost like small computers.They are extremely handy and perfect for situations where the teacher likes to get up and get going.Along with that,SmartEd Services is a portable audio device that allows teachers to amplify (扩大)what is being said to students.If you want to know more,an easy way to check into all the options that are out there is to simply do some searching online.25.There used not to be much communication in class probably because .A.the teachers had limited knowledgeB.the students liked reading aloudC.teaching technology was backwardD.teaching materials were too difficult26.The underlined word “stagnant” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.practicalB.inactiveC.fluentD.necessary27.SmartEd Services is a kind of device that .A.follows the teacher in the classroomB.makes the teacher’s voice louderC.helps the students understand betterD.makes the class more interesting28.According to the author .A.technology can make class practical and interestingB.the traditional teaching methods should be given upC.the teachers should get on well with their studentsD.modern science and technology bring us a happy life( C )From the 007 series to Iron Man,cool gadgets(装备)like smart watches and high-tech glasses impress audiences.Now the real world is welcoming them.The world of wearable technology is quietly growing,and it’s planning to take over.Let’s look at some of the gadgets to look out for.HeadwearReading on a bus or while you’re running often makes you dizzy(眩晕的).But with a small wearable device called Run-n-Read,you won’t feel dizzy any more.You can wear it on your headband or your T-shirt.It tracks(追踪) your head movements and then moves the text on the screen of your iPad or other reading device at the same time as your eyes.Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down,for you the text looks perfectly still.Your head moves,but the words do not.BraceletsWearing a sensory bracelet (手镯) can help you find out where you’ve run,how many calories you’ve burned,how deep your sleep was,and many more things.A few companies have already been producing great fitness tracking devices for some time.But it seems that FitBit will get the most attention in 2015 with its new bracelets,the FitBit Surge.The Surge has an LED touch display screen.This allows you to control your smartphone and see who is calling or messaging you.It also has eight different sensors(感应元件) and can record many different sporting activities.ShoesIf you’ve ever got tired of looking at your smartphone frequently for directions when visiting a place,you might want to try Lechal smart shoes.The shoes work by using Bluetooth to connect to a phone App.After you’ve entered the destination you want to go to on your phone,the shoes direct you by vibrating(振动)either the left or right foot to tell you which way you should turn.29.From the text we know that the high-tech gadgets .A.only appear in the moviesB.can be used by common peopleC.are

will take control of one’s activities.32.How can people know the directions in the future?( )A.By using the smartphone.B.By using the traffic mapC.By using either of your feet.D.By using special shoes.( D )Melbourne,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.As an English-speaking country,you won’t be faced with any language barriers.Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets,which promote equality among the sexes.Why it’s a great choice:Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere,and as a travel hot-spot,there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers.Well known for being very cheap,especially in the north.A good choice if you want to get away on a budget.Thailand has a lot to offer,from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带) jungle.Hong Kong,ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.Why it’s a great choice:Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world.If you’re not well-traveled,or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers,Hong Kong is a great place to start,as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.Bali,IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches.The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction.Why it’s so great:You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali.Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way.As a Hindu island,Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修).The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys,anyway.33.Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and beautiful beaches?( )A.Melbourne,Australia.B.Thailand.C.Hong Kong,China.D.Bali,Indonesia.34.What has made Bali Indonesia No.1 tourist attraction?( )A.Yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches.B.Friendly
