Scientists have found what look like caves on Mars(火星), and say they could be protecting life from the planet’s terrible environment.The first caves discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven mysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter. Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.“If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance you’d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting.One photo taken at night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm,suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.“I said:‘Wow, that’s a cave. ’” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time;now we have found them.”He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold,radiation-soaked(充满辐射的),dry surface.“Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled,forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining lava to flow out, forming caves.”1. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How the caves were formed on Mars.B. How scientists found these caves on Mars.C. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.D. Scientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars.2. We can learn from the passage that .A. water has already been found on MarsB. the scientists found all the caves at nightC. it is certain that there is life in these cavesD. the surface of Mars is bitterly cold,radiation-soaked and dry3. According to the passage,Dr. Clarke was so excited because .A. such caves could provide energy for lifeB. they had finally found the caves on MarsC. such caves would be perfect places to hunt for lifeD. scientists had long been looking for these caves4. Necessary condition for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include .A. lava and energyB. water and radiation from spaceC. gases and lavaD. water and protection from radiation【参考答案】1--4、CDBD阅读理解。

）For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 71 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss’ invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 72 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother’s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decidedto move to the West to seek his fortune.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead,he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 73 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining,he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants provedso popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 74 By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.75 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A. As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D. However, he did not get much business for those products.E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of Americanconsumer culture.G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.【参考答案】71. F 72. A 73. D 74. C 75.

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度),” said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanicalsystems(M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word‘nuclear’and think of something very dangerous, “ he said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems. “His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery i s that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor. “ Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?A. He teaches chemistry at MU.B. He developed a chemical battery.C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 .A. to show chemical batteries are widely appliedB. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely usedC. to describe a nuclear-powered systemD. to introduce various energy sources3. Liquid semiconductor is used to .A. get rid of the radioactive wasteB. test the power of nuclear batteriesC. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. reduce the damage to lattice structure4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery .A. uses a solid semiconductorB. will soon replace the present onesC. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test5. The text is most probably a .A. science news reportB. book reviewC. newspaper adD. science fiction story【参考答案】1--5 、CBDCA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。

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ?A. The expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.2. The NFC technology can be used to .A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to .A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.【参考答案】1—4、 BCBA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。

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of ice d tea. The physical sensation(感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to acloth“mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and“coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the per sonality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.1. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online2. The author mentions Harlow’s exper iment to show that.A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships3. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to.A. evaluate s omeone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively4. We can infer from the passage that.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation.C. Developing Better Drinking Habits.D. Physical Sensations and Emotions. 【参考答案】1—5、CBACD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。

【2015高考复习】任务型读写Have you ever started sneezing when eating peanuts，getting rash(皮疹)on your skin or feeling your heart starting to beat faster？Statistics show that around 12 million Americans suffer from food allergy，with 6.9 million allergic to seafood and 3.3 million allergic to peanuts or tree nuts.Food allergic symptoms occur immediately after having an allergen food.The food is treated as harmful to the body，by the immune system，which defends our organism from harmful external attacks.Here are a few guidelines about things you should know and how to put them into practice to prevent food allergies and eat healthily.When buying food，read attentively the labels on the food products.All manufacturers according to the new Food Allergen and Consumer Act must clearly list all the elements of the product including the 8 food allergens even if they are present in very small amounts.Don't buy these products，even if they might be cheaper.Parents should be very cautious when preparing food.The table and cooking tools used need to be clean.It is recommended to cook the food of the allergic person in the first place.Food allergic persons should have a little patience.In certain people，the allergy disappears gradually.Visit your doctor at regular times to find about the progress of your allergies instead of having strict diets every day.Keep a diary to note the foods that worsen your food allergies，new experiences and changes that you notice.Being tempted to have a piece of cake can be very dangerous.Your health is much more worth than it.Always think about the efforts people around you are putting to create an allergic-free environment for you.Allergic persons should avoid consuming cakes that are not homemade and should always carry some snacks on them.Buying food in restaurants is risky.20．Symptoms[从第二段第一句可直接知道，据下栏内容也可概括得出。

Which is safer --- staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or wor king at the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the sam e risk, which is very low. However, what about flying compare d to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the form er is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost an y of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home. The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this t hat chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas Cit y (1947), Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex (1984) a nd (1984).Some of these are always in the minds of the people even tho ugh the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and onl y 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was , w here up to 3,000 were killed. The explosion of fertilizer killed552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the s uburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at .Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the was cause d by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of man agement, which took risks to keep production going during es sential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if t he local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doo rstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local lea ders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded su burb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tan ks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. H ad these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fi ghters would all have died.1. According to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened at _________.A. B. Flixborough C. Seveso D. Mexico City2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Working at the office is safer than staying at home.B. Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.C. Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical indu stry.D. Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.3. From the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of _____.A. natural gas, which can easily catch fireB. fertilizer, which can't be stored in a great quantityC. poisonous substance, which can't be used in overcrowded areasD. fuel, which is stored in large tanks4. From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _____.A. to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in c hemical industryB. the local authorities should not be concerned with the prod uction of thechemical industryC. all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measureshad been takenD. natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe【参考答案】1—4、BDBC阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I. Q. , a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary know-ledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in ourcapabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.1. The passage mainly deals with.A. the function of I. Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction2. By reading novels and writers’ stories, the girl coul d.A. come to understand the inner structure of writingB. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security3. In the girl’s long painstaking training process, .A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her successB. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementsD. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write4. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one’s success.B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I. Q. doesn’t matter, but just his/her ef forts.D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.【参考答案】1—4、CABD请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
