If you summit your assignment late, you _____.A. can have a second chanceB. should ask a tutor for helpC. may apply for an extensionD. will get a fail for the workBMy favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth centur y and made them hilarious, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” O ur teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.24. The passage mainly discusses _____.A. teachingB. literatureC. humorD. knowledge25. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A. funnyB. tiringC. inspiringD. brilliant26. With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _____.A. his teacher was very learnedB. his teacher was very humorousC. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorousD. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others27. The English teacher the writer disliked most _____.A. was not able to make students laughB. hurt his students’ feelingsC. didn’t let his students do the gradingD. had no sense of humorCDoes money buy happiness? Not! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk(傻笑，假笑) and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment. Three in four American college students—nearly double the 1970 proportion—now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little. The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcherRonald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns(报酬递减). The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthi est Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide? Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub? Actually, we are not. Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide(自杀) rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed. Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale. When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy.I call this soaring wealth and shrink ing spirit “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility. We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity(繁荣) but long for a purpose. We treasure our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.28. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A. The more money we earn, the less returns we have.B. The more money we earn, the happier we would be.C. In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness.D. In the long run, happiness grows with economy.29. “The second $100,000 never tastes as good as the first” because _____.A. it is not so fresh as the first $100,000B. it is not so important as the first $100,000C. profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000D. happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,00030. According to the passage, people do well in making a living but don’t _____.A. have any primary aimB. know how to spend moneyC. know how to enjoy lifeD. keep in touch with other people31. The things that happened after 1957 are given to show that _____.A. people’s spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by we althB. family problems become more and more seriousC. young people are not happy about their lifeD. social crimes have increased significantlyDScience FictionThe science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H. G. Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds). Sci-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses aboutfuture technologies of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”. Even the author’s name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual becomes sacrifice under a totalitarian(极权主义) government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. Advances in genetics(遗传学) cause fantasies of the end of disease, horrors of eugenics(优生学), and thrillers where creatures disappearing long ago are brought back to life. The science fiction author’s self-determined role is that of field glasses for humanity—searching the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.32. What can science fiction offer to people?A. A forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankind.B. A thoughtful look at the present drawbacks of technology.C. An analysis of why a new technology could be used to harm human.D. A thoughtful look at the past and what brought us to this point in history.33. Which of the following best summarizes the description of Nineteen Eighty-Four?A. A prediction of future technologies.B. A warning of cruel and unfair ruling.C. The consequence of scientific findings.D. An imaginary perfect world of freedom.34. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular termsB. H.G. Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800sC. Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne’s fictionD. Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration35. According to the author, what is the role of science fiction in society?A. A moral compass.B. A reference of technology.C. A record of science development.D. A consideration of possibilities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The nicotine(尼古丁) remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide( 杀虫剂) , driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic(芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch( 朱雀 ) nests from Mexico Cit y immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had.The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to Urhanization--or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.5. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds?A. To drive harmful insects away from bird nests.B. To provide building materials for bird nests.C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.6. What is the first experiment aimed at?A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City.B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsmoked ones.C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters.D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away.7. What can you infer from the passage?A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.C. Some insects are afraid of smelly chemicals in aromatic plants.D. Unsmoked cigarette traps attract more harmful insects.8. Where could you possibly see the passage?A. In a science report.B. In an urbanization essay.C. In a tobacco advertisement.D. In an anti-smoki ng brochure.CN early two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view, according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia(装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers. The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter in the car.Deputy Chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car,” she said. “Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by c luttering up windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves, young passengers or other road users at risk.A survey arranged by price comparison website Confused. com found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty(新奇) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue.” said a Confused. com spokesman.9. What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph1?A. They can be dangerousB. They are useful to avoid accidentsC. They are welcomed by passengersD. They are forbidden to be used10. What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. indifferentD. Objective11. According to the survey, most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs______.A. can improve safetyB. are unnecessaryC. can make drivers clearD. can kill timeDCan't wait for the opening of the Shanghai Disney Resort in 2015? Meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse and all their friends at the city's largest Disney exhibition at the Shanghai Super Brand Mall.The exhibition invites visitors to have a taste of the Disneyland under construction, according to the organizer. Many of the exhibits have been transported from the Walt Disney Family Museum in Los Angeles, like the manuscripts(手稿) of early animation producers.The center of the mall's third floor has been transformed into a magic house with a giant Mickey above, greeting visitors. Classic cartoon figures, created by the company and itssub-companies over the past 90 years, are presented, including Winnie the Pooh.Visitors can enjoy one of Disney's earliest film, Steamboat Willie. The film, which was screened in New York city in 1928, was considered the first fully synchronized (同步的)sound cartoon. It was also the first time that Mickey and Minnie first appeared.Visual and audio technologies have been applied to make the exhibition interactive. Inthe Snow White section, a magic mirror on the wall astonishes visitors. Like the evil queenin the fairytale, visitors can stand before the mirror and ask: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" One can see images of Snow White appear in the mirror. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, produced by the company, was considered the world's firstfull-length animated feature film.In the Lion King section, stand at a designated position and enjoy the songs from thefilm in surround sound. The Lion King, Disney's 32nd full-length animated film, was one ofthe most successful Disney films and was turned into a Broadway opera.Still the most charming star of the exhibition is Mickey Mouse, while the brightest ofall is a Mickey Mouse model inlaid with more than 20,000 Swarovski crystals.Four young artists, Yan Wei and Guan Chun from the Chinese mainland, and Dorophy Tangand Kenny Wang from Hong Kong, created different series of Mickey Mouse models with their personal styles.Besides Disneyland, in 2015, the Walt Disney Company China will open the world's largest Disney Store, which will cover about 5,000 square meters in Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial hub.12．Which of the following is NOT true?A.

Therefore, there are also some problems in this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficulty to follow the teacher. Gradual learners may even lost interest in English. As we all know it, a good learning environment is important whether we want to study English well. Classes taught in English provide students with so an environment. When English is only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunity to practice listening and speaking. As a result, we will be able to learn more quickly.第一部分阅读理解第一篇：CCBB第二篇【小题】A【小题】D【小题】C【小题】A【解析】【小题】考查细节理解。

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第26期55分钟课堂练习How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 11 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 12__ the airport. We were driving in the 13 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly 14 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started 15 at us.My taxi driver just 16 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 17 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．He 18 that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 19，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage 20 up，they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 21 . Don’t take it personally. Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on.Believe me. You’ll be more 22 . Don’t take their garbage and 23 it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets, Life’s too short t o wake up in the morning with 24 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 25 in your life. Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 26 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you 27 them more frequently.So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t.

Actor William Shatner, who is no stranger to futuristic tech, recently purchased two e-bikes for him and his wife.“I’ve been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks, and I’ve had my eye on the folding electric bike. I had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the U.S. The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the ＄3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to work, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweat．People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to those who decided to save money on buying a motor bike．These are not for the serious road cycler or professional mountain biker．If you’re considering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first. Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery power．Higher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and have better batteries．Another consideration is local motor vehicle laws. For example，according to US federal law，as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle. Most consumer e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range don’t fit the motorized vehicle description．31. The writer introduces William Shatner as an example in order to_______________．A．show that he is wild about the future technologyB．tell us that he is an agent for the e-bike marketC．tell us that actors care only convenience rather than the priceD．show that e-bikes are really becoming popular now32. According to the text，e-bikes are practical for_______________．A．serious road cyclers B．couples spending a holidayC．people commuting to work D．professional mountain bikers33. Which of the following about e-bikes is true?A．The cheaper e-bikes are usually made of lighter materials．B．Most e-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are a bicycle, not a motor vehicle．C．Local motor vehicle law doesn’t have any limit to e-bikes．D．E-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are too cheap to have better batteries．34. What is the best title for this passage?A．E-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 B．E-bikes，the Future Way of Transportation C．E-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles D．E-bikes，Actors’ First ChoiceBMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and some grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory laborer. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, he’d piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the season. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friend’s farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part could be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this year. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm before dawn and get home until well after sunset.One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“There’s nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “You’ll just have to tell him that you can’t help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesn’t sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I can’t exactly let my neighbor’s harvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think you’d have time to do it?” she asked. “With the overtime you’ve been working you’d be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmer’s Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha! There’s still one more full moon in October.” They say it’s called the harvest moon because it gives farmers more light and more time to collect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the truck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilliant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.35. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend?A. His wife objected to his helping his friend.B. His corn picker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down.D. The weather was not favorable.36. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very much.B. My grandmother supported my grandfather’s decision to harvest the friend’s corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influence on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be diligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be generous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be well-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.39. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear40. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people__________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours41. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_____.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law42 What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organize time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time schedule is decided by social customsDWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a res ult, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this terrible circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. Youneed to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.43. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.44. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle45. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The body.B. The acidC. The acid wasteD. fat46. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation.C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.七选五Going on holiday should be an exciting moment. 47 _______ Here are some suggestions as to how you can stop that from being the case and make the whole experience a little more enjoyable.Choose Wisely The first way to make sure you have a comfortable flight is of course to choose your ticket carefully48_______ Many flights let you book your seat ahead of time so you’d better check in early or look online early and make sure you get it with the most space for your legs.Relax 49 _______ People just can’t associate being on a plane with being comfortable and they tend to think that the experience is going to be unpleasant.

The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect —positively or negatively —as long as it wasn’t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult child conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，”Zimmerman said. “Although it’s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing, such as，‘I’m putting on your pajamas now’. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，”she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation time —maybe at bath time or at dinner time —that’s a wonderful thing.”46．The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.A. could have a positive effect on a child’s language developmentB. had a little effect on a child’s language developmentC. affected a child’s language development more negatively than positivelyD. affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively47．Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.A. parents should let their children talk most of the timeB. children should watch TV programs selectivelyC. the conversation between parents and children should be two wayD. it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking 48．We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD. parents should leave a child talking alone49．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Talk with kids, not at themB. Let your children voice their own opinionsC. How to develop a child’s language abilityD. The importance of early child language development50．The underlined word “tailor”in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ________.A. controlB. improveC. passD. adjustCA house in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii has collapsed, raising concerns about whether Italy is spending enough to preserve its archaeological heritage.The House of the Gladiators（角斗士）was found in ruins when the person who was in charge came to open the site to visitors early on Saturday. Partially rebuilt after it suffered damage during World War II, it had not been thought at risk of collapse. Culture Minister Sandro Bondi said some of the pictures painted on the house's lower walls might have survived. He said that the collapse showed the need for “adequate resources”to keep Italy’s “extremely great historic artistic heritage”in good condition. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said it was “a shame for Italy”. Antonio V arone, director of excavations（挖掘）at the site, said officials were “trying to preserve the last small parts and pieces”of the building.The house, which is not normally open to the public but can be viewed from the outside, was cordoned off after the collapse, and visitors can’t get close to it. There was speculation（推测）that recent heavy rains might have made the building which is thousands of years old fall, but no one was true.Pompeii was destroyed in AD79 when a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Vesuvius buried the city in ash. It was not uncovered until the 18th Century. The house, known as the Schola Armaturarum, was used by gladiators for training before fights in the nearby amphitheatre, a circular building without a roof and with rows of seats that rose in steps around an open space.Tsao Cevoli, president of Italy’s National Association of Archaeologists, called the collapse “an irreparable wound which is too serious to repair to the world’s most important archaeological site”. Extra funds were made available two years ago, and special measures were put in place, to improve conservation at Pompeii, but critics said the plan was badly managed.51. The underlined part “cordoned off”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. dug up by sb. or sth.B. surrounded by sb. or sth.C. rebuilt by sb. C. put off by sth.52. Which of the following is TRUE about the collapsed house in Pompeii?A. The house was rebuilt during World War Two.B. The house has no pictures on its walls.C. The house was used for training before it collapsed.D. The house was buried in V olcanic ash for many years.53. The reason why the house collapsed may be that _______.A. it suffered great damage in a warB. it had rained heavily in the days before it collapsedC. extra funds were not available for the protection of the houseD. no special measures were put forward to protect the house54. Where can we most probably find the passage?A. In a newspaperB. In a book reportC. In a geography bookD. In a traveling handbook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。

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题七第一节: 阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）AI recall my mother’s voice which called me to order, and often ended with some strong proverb to express the gravity of the wrong done. It was common practice for my mother to send me off soul-searching with a proverb.Of the many interactions I had with my mother those many years ago, one stands out with clarity. I remember the occasion when Mother sent me to the main road, about twenty yards away from the farmhouse, to invite a passing group of seasonal work-seekers home for a meal. She instructed me to take a container along and collect dry cow dung (牛粪) for making a fire. I was then to prepare the meal for the group of work-seekers.The thought of making an open fire outside at midday, cooking in a large three-legged pot in that high heat, was enough to upset even an angel. I did not manage to hide my feelings from my mother, and after serving the group, she called me to the balcony, where she usually sat to attend to her sewing (缝纫).Looking straight into my eyes, she said, “Tsholofelo, why were you so unhappy when I requested you to prepare a meal for those poor people?” Despite my attempt to deny her allegation(断言), and using the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for my alleged behavior, Mother, giving me a firm look, said, “A foot has no nose.” It means, “You can’t detect what trouble may lie ahead of you.” Had I denied the group of people a meal, it may have happened that, in my travels some time in the future, I found myself at the mercy of those very individuals. As if that was not enough to shame me, Mother continued, “A person is a person because of another person.”1. We learn from the passage that Tsholofelo’s mother often _____.A. quoted proverbs when she was talking with othersB. asked Tsholofelo to read more proverbsC. collected proverbs in her spare timeD. used proverbs to teach Tsholofelo2.

Researchers who are interested in raising cows on farms.CAfter successfully serving their term for four years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life.For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵) will ever have to undertake. While people may think that readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(创伤后应激障碍), or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat(打仗).Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares(梦魇) and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.Fullerton College, like most college, has its own Veteran’s(老兵) Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison(联络) for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.9. One purpose of the writer in writing this passage is _______.A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSDB. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian lifeC. to recommend a website for veterans and people concernedD. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life10. What problem will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?A. How to readjust to civilian life.B. How to get rid of mental diseases.C. How to get along with PTSD patients.D. How to return to school for benefits.11. Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?A. He is a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.C. He is in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.12. The best title for the passage is ______.A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian LifeB. The Last Assignment for All Military PersonsC. How to Overcome PTSDD. Ready for A Civilian Life?DLots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.Being interested in why w e are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.13. This text is most probably taken from __________.A. a research paperB. a course scheduleC. a personal letterD. a book review14. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Philosophical questions are as interesting as collecting stamps.B. Thinking about philosophical questions is a serious interest.C. Figuring out who we are and why we are here is man’s basic needs.D. Philosophy has universal appeal and concerns everybody in nature.15. The author believes that __________.A. no existing subject can interest everyone in the worldB. different people may have different interests and concernsC. everyone has to figure out who we are and why we are hereD. people in modern society pay more attention to philosophical questionsE____16___ Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when the no longer work. ___17____ In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and their contacts they had in their work. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.___18____ They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens who have common interests. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. ____19____ The number of senior citizens in the US is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. ____20___ Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country, both politically and economically. Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.A.Their lives lose meaning.B.Most old people can not make money and they live a very hard life.C.Other senior citizens enjoy their lives.D.The average life span for Americans is now more than 74 years.E.People over the age of 65 in the US are called senior citizens.F.Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire.G.Few senior citizens in America are fond of work after they retire.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Not long ago, I had a hard week at work. 21 just kept popping up(出现) everywhere and I was struggling to keep from 22 my cool from all the stress.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题29第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）AAn incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳) —the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochet’s owner Judy Fridono said, “I was wor king with her at balance and coordination (协作). Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company.”After becoming an expert, two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. “Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I can’t,” she said.One of those who hav e benefited from Ricochet’s skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (双人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as helping with treatments, Ricochet also raised £5,000 to help continue Ian’s recovery.Over the last 10 months, Ricochet’s excelle nt performances on the sea have raised more than £30,000 for a number of charity causes.1. According to the passage, Ricochet is .A. a doctorB. a dogC. a dog ownerD. a disabled boy2. What role does Ricochet play according to the passage?A. She acts as a pet to please its owner.B. She accompanies the disabled children at home.C. She helps the disabled children learn to surf.D. She works as a guide dog for the blind.3. Ian McFarland considers Ricochet’s work to be .A. challengingB. doubtfulC. attractiveD. satisfying4. Which statement can best describe Ricochet?A. The two-year-old dog is severely disabled.B. Ricochet helps youngsters build up their confidence.C. Ricochet helps youngsters in their daily life.D. Ricochet is a lifesaver on the sea.BNever before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.5. The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means________.A. beautiful clothesB. latest technologyC. delicious foodD. great inventions6. The second paragraph mainly talks about______.A. the producer of the documentB. the content of the documentC. the history of Chinese gourmetD. The popularity of the document7. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food cultureB. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the realityC. the price of food is too high for many common peopleD. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director8. According to the passage, China’s foo d industry is full of faking and cheatingbecause_____.A. there are still so many poor people at the present timeB. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enoughC. the Chinese government encourages it to do soD. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countriesCFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and ju dging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding （重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, andI had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, incl uding walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three timesa week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m get ting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.9. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probabl y refers to _____.A. heart attacksB. back problemsC. famous joggersD. physical weaknesses10. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.11. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.12. From the wri ter’s experience, we can conclude that______.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sportDHave you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let’s see how she’s getting along.As from June 2012, Facebook had over 955 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page says he’s a Harvard graduate, even though he actually dropped out to focus on Facebook. The site is valued at between $7.9 and $11 billion.13. Which of the following is conveyed in this passage?A. Visiting Facebook website took up a large part of Jamie’s time and energy.B. Jamie is enthusiastic about her present job.C.

What does the word “un-friend” mean in the underlined sentence “Someone’s u n-friendedme!”?A. Be unfriendly to othersB. Remove a name f rom friend listC. Have a quarrel with somebodyD. End friendship with somebody第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tas ks we should do till it’s too late. 16 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and thenfocus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 18Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late. 19 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.20 I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.A. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.C. Havin g a companion makes the whole process much more fun.D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E. I t’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共40分）The writer Devin with his friend Johnson went to his favourite news-stand.

One day 42 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 43 (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle's egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 44 , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 45 a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 46 more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."The chickens roared with 47 (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 48 (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams known, he was told it couldn't be done. That is 49 the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and conti nued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 50 dreams... not the words of a chicken.第三部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）This term our school has offer more than ten optional courses with which students can choose.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题26第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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。

ANEW YORK---Booksellers and technology companies are diving into the world of digital books. Sony Corp is selling the Reader Digital Book for $299, while giant online shopping company offers the Kindle for $399.The digital books are light, easy on the eyes and let readers carry around as many as 200 titles in hardware that weighs less than a pound.But to some people, there’s something m issing.“It’s , I guess, the feel of holding a book that someone really put a lot of effort into writing,” said Katy Farina, 21.Farina, a college student who was browsing (浏览) at a bookstore, said, “It feels real, while the reader separates you a little bit from the story.”Harry Howe, a professor, said he might use an e-book reader in search of materials while away from home, but not for reading a novel. “It’s just not a ph ysical experience that I’m yet comfortable with. On the other hand, I didn’t grow up reading things on websites.”Farina said she would like a reader for travelling because she would not have to transport so many books. “To put 10 books on your Sony reader or on your Kindle is a lot better than carrying 10 books,” she said.Neither Sony nor Amazon would say how many machines they have sold, but enough people are interested in trying them out. An Amazon official at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week said the Kindle sold out on its first day in 6 hours.And for people hesitating between paper and e-books, Sony does offer a compromising —an optional paper cover. “I think it’s a clever move.” Said Howe.21. Which section is the passage most likely to appear in?A. Advertisements.B. Technology.C. Education. D .Entertainment.22. According to the passage, Farina_______.A. dislikes e-booksB. likes e-books very muchC. never uses e-booksD. prefers e-books when traveling23. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. E-books are better than paper books.B. E-books are becoming more and more popular.C. E-books read well, but some people prefer paper books.D. E-books will take the place of paper books one day.BIf you are interested in animals, you probably heard about the tragedy at Seaworld Orlando. On February 24, Tillicum, a six-ton orca(虎鲸)，was performing with his trainer, Dawn Brancheau, who stood on a platform by his pool.They had done the same show together many times before, without incident. This time, though, events took a terrible turn. Without warning, Tillicum leaped from the water, took hold of Branchcheau by her hair, and dragged her deep below the water’s surface. Before other trainers could react, Brancheau drowned.Although known as killer whales, orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family. They are easy to train, an d performances like Tillicum’s have been done safely thousands of times. Yet Dawn Brancheau’s death was a shocking reminder of what can happen when human being act together with wild animals. People began to ask, “Should orcas be kept in captivity(囚禁)”YesWorldwide, only 42 orcas are being kept by humans. Scientists know very little about these huge sea animals, which are difficult to study in the wild. However, they do know that orcas are easily harmed by pollution. As our oceans become ever more damaged by human activity, observing orcas up close helps us understand them and do a better job of protecting them in nature.“I think that some dangerous animals, such as killer whales, should be kept in captivity because it raises awareness about them and educates people about wild animals,” says Lauren, 12, a 6-grader from Colorado. “Keeping some in captivity will help protect their species.”25.What can we infer from the text?A. It is hard to train orcas.B. Orcas are rare sea animals.C. Orcas’ habitat is being destroyed.D. Many orcas are hunted each year.26. The underlined word ”humiliates” in the last paragraph most probably means “ _____”.A. makes somebody less intelligentB. makes somebody feel ashamedC. makes somebody physically weakD. makes somebody feel threatened27. The text is mainly about_______.A. how to help animals live a better lifeB. how to develop friendship with animalsC. whether killer whales should be protectedD. whether animals should be kept in captivityC“I can’t live without my mobile phone!” is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.The all so common sight of heads bent, eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world. Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones.Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it is for the better.It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go.I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook, Twitter, andinstant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself.I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa --- purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies. Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change? It shouldn’t really be a surprise though.28. In the first two paragraphs, the author wants to show ____.A. mobile phones make people communicate lessB. m obile phones make people’s life more enjoyableC. p eople’s health i s greatly affected by mobile phonesD. people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life29. What’s the author’s attitude towards mobile phones? .A. DoubtfulB. SupportiveC. CriticalD. Uninterested30. Paragraph 5 is mainly about__________.A. New functions of mobile phonesB. New changes in Information AgeC. The advantages of mobile phonesD. The author’s personal experiences31.How is the text mainly developed?A. By inferring.B. By analysing causes.C. By giving examples.D. By comparing different ideas.DA Japanese company has ordered its employees to get the same hairstyles--- to help save energy.Tokyo-based Maeda Corporation has announced the move as part of a national campaingn to cut energy use.Since Fukushima nuclear plant was destroyed in the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March, 2011, the county’s government has asked its people to slash their energy consumption.Men are expected to sport a short back-and-sides, slightly longer on the top, while women have been asked to wear short hair with a fringer (刘海) that can be swept to one side.Chizuru Inoue, a spokesman for Maeda Crop, said: “Our company is very devoted to protecting the environment and we encourage our staff to adopt many environment-friendly actions.”“We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair they do not need to use their hairdryers for so long and they will use less water. If all our staff do this, then it may save a lot of power.”There is another advantage for employees of the construction firm, Ms. Inoue added, as it is easier to make short hair neat again after staff had been wearing hard hats. She saida lot of staff had been calling for information on where they can get their hair cut in the correct style.Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March, Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity for the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plant. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter o fits remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable (可持续性的) technologies. Many government institutions have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air-conditioningin offices and schools.32. What does the underlined word ”slash” in Par agraph 2 probably mean?A. StopB. MaintainC. ChangeD. Reduce33. According to Chizuru Inoue, there are ____ advantages for the employees to have shorthair.A. 2B. 3C. 4D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report，some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”． 36 Dr. Peter Meijer，a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands，has developed a new system called the vOICe．The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh，I see．” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world．A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera，stereo headphones and a notebook PC．The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds． 37 The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images．Everything has its own unique sound． 38 Theheight of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调)．And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on．What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object．Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt．39 Within two weeks，most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors．They are also able to identify certain situations，including whether the lights in a room are on or off． 40 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe，bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time．A．Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas．B．It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones．C．However, they are not learning to see with their eyes；they are learning to see with their ears．D．The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals．E．Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”，but not the information “carrier”．F．To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a number of visually impaired people were chosen to test the voice．G．Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk．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；满分30分）If it is possible to see red(get angry) about not seeing red, that is what I was doing.

AEvery time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Ch ampions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally beMessi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.BPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternativeconsider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, b ut other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．CWhile students in Yinchuan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.But things may start to improve soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel engines(柴油机)by 40 percent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.“We encourage the development of public transports. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ”said an official.Ef forts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions(排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November andDecember or be closed.Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index(指数)gave just 100 days as good.“I am glad to see an improvement, ”said a senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in fog. ”In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French Air Force was called off.Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.29. The passage is mainly about .A. a programme aiming at improving Beijing’s air qualityB. progress made in Beijing’s air qualityC. Beijing’s air pollutionD. the differences between Yinchuan and Beijing30. Which of the following is NOT the measure taken or to be taken to improv e Beijing’s air quality?A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transports.B. Some factories have been asked to cut production.C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed.D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.31. We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological city, .A. far more still needs to be doneB. nothing else needs to be doneC. all traffic has to be closedD. the development of the city has to be slowed down32. Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?A. Beijing’s air quality is getting worse and worse.B. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.C. People see clouds of smoke in the sky in the winter of Beijing.D. The government is making efforts to stop air pollution.DEvery year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. Many oth ers and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”,“focus”and “delegate”and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.FOCUSFocus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. Theproblem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things cal ling me. When I was working as awriter, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into myschedule.HEALTHI get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers.I have to get my health in check, not only for me but because I promis ed my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss b eing thin, and it’s time to get it back. CELEBRATEWhat good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how c ome I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m makingsure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.Do you have any words for 2014?33. The underlined word “multitasker”probably refers to a person who.A. makes a living by writingB. always fails to finish a task on timeC. has several things to do at the same timeD. pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping34. Why does the writer have “HEALTH”as one of his three words?A. He wants to take better care of others.B. He’s gaining weight and feeling bad.C. He did not take any exercise in the past.D. He got the idea from his son.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. The word “CELEBRATE”can remind the writer to enjoy life.B. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.C. The word “FOCUS”can help the writer focus on his family.D. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.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。

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题二第二部分：阅读理解（共小题，每小题2分，满分 40 分）AYou need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets (资产).In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals (音乐剧) of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.1. MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．A. has more supportersB. has produced good filmsC. might be closed downD. has lost all its assets2. What can we learn about MGM from the text?A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.C. It only produced three films by itself last year.D. It made a wrong decision for its development.3. What's the main idea of the text?A. The past glories of MGM．B. The musicals made by MGM.C. The decline of MGM．D. A historical decision by MGM.BWe have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told themthat their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults（成年人）usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.4. The underlined expression ' make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means ______.A. show much concern aboutB. have a special effect onC. list jobs to be done forD. do good things for5. Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.A. the guest gave her more coats to carryB. she didn't look as pretty as KellyC. the guests praised her sister more than herD. her mother didn't introduce her to the guests6. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB. the younger children are usually more easily hurtC. people usually like the younger children moreD. adults should treat children equally7. Which of the following statements is right?A. Kristen and Kelly are not getting along with each other.B. Kristen is older than Kelly.C. The mother likes Kristen more than Kelly.D. People usually talk more to Kelly than they do to Kristen.CPeople being tested for radiation exposureThe crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japanhas raised worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses of radiation.JONATHAN LINKS: "Of course, we don't know what doses they've received, but the only persons at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers."For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.Professor Links says scientists can use computers to quickly model where radioactive material has blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the water.JONATHAN LINKS: "But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and, because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables."The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.JONATHAN LINKS: "Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low."Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory from World War Two would create a stronger "psychological sensitivity" to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the world's worst accident in the nuclear power industry.A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found. These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate grass where radioactive material had fallen.To get the latest updates, go to .Contributing: James Brooke8. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. What measures the Japan Government takes to solve the nuclear crisis .B. Worries and influences caused by the nuclear crisis .C. With great efforts of scientists, the Japan Government has put the nuclear crisis under control .D. To explain that the nuclear crisis has less effect on its neighboring countries.9. Which of the following is NOT the influences caused by the leak of Fukushima Dai-IchiNuclear Power Station?A. Workers at the nuclear station are suffering the risk of death.B. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released ina nuclear accident.C. The radioactive material may be blown over the area causing the pollution to water.D. The concentration of radioactivity in the seawater can not be diluted.10. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilution”?A. chemicalB. saltC. dissolutionD. elimination11. According to the passage which of the following is not TRUE?A. Water people drink, food and vegetables people eat may be polluted by nuclear radiation.B. Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it.C. You can go to . to get the latest news .D. The nuclear accident in Japan is the worst in the nuclear power industry.DIt is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university a s a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has farmore potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”12. By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.A .university researchers know little about the commercial worldB. there is little exchange between industry and academiaC. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD. few university professors are willing to do industrial research13. What was Helen Lee’s maj or consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?A. Flexible work hours.B. Her research interests.C .Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.14. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.A. do financially more rewarding workB. raise his status in the academic worldC. enrich his experience in medical researchD. exploit better intellectual opportunities15. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?A. Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.B. Develop its students’ potential in research.C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry.D. Gear its research towards practical applications.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even before November was out. 16Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep. It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous. But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely. Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind: trees swayed but the branches held firm.And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly. 17 It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams.18 Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. They twisted and turned, rising eastwards and upwards, warning of what was to come. We had seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lowerstretches. 19 It was far deeper than we’d ever seen it so near our home, lunging furiously at its banks. For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. 20 A．It was the river, the Ryburn, which normally flowed so gently, that threatened us most.B．The great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home.C．In a short time the snow started to melt.D．Just a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge.E．Our prayer were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside.F．They grew so strong that we couldn’t control it.G．Until then, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland,he 21 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 22 his success to it.At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 23 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 24 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 25 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 26 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 27 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 28 fake （假货）. When he was 29 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 30 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 31 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 32 before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 33 . For many times of entry-exit 34 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 35 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check andif 36 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 37 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 38 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 39 , which he would remember as the 40 of his success forever.21.

Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 36 me to her with these words: "I would like you to meet the fellow who is 37 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no38 than tomorrow morning. "My stepmother walked over to me, 39 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, "You are 40 . This is not the worst boy at all, 41 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm. "That statement began a (n) 42 _ between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She 44 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more 45 and my brother and I could be better 46 .When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 47 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 48 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 49 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 50 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later. I wasn't the 51 beneficiary. My father became the 52 man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.What power 53 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is 54 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 55 .You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.36.A. rushed B. sent C. carried D. introduced37. A. distinguished B. favored C. mistaken D. rewarded38.

A. win B. match C. reach D. doubtABaths and bathing have been considered of an important medical therapy to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a bath tub and water system built over 3 000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some public baths as many 3 000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating diseases by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing, or hydrotherapy, first became popular in Europe and by the late 1 700’s also became popular in the United States.For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to be clean was avoided, and perfume(香水) was used to cover up body and smell.By the 1 700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “the great unwashed”. In one American city, for example, a person could only take a bath every 30 days! That was a law.Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase that chance of disease.Therefore in the United States people generally bathe often.67．What does the word “hydrotherapy” underlined in the second paragraph refer to?A．A bathing tub. B．Medical bathing.C．Ordinary bathing. D．Warm public baths.68．Where did the ordinary bathing first become popular according to the passage?A．In Africa. B．In Europe.C．In the USA. D．The passage doesn’t tell us.69．Which of the following statements is not true?A．Bathing was important to Greeks and Romans. B．The Greek built water systems.C．The Greek had warm public baths. D．The Greek used bath tubs. 70．The passage is mainly about ______.A．bathing in the USA B．the good points and bad points of bathingC．the history of bathing D．the modern medical bathingBLife affects (影响) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.When we were children we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we get older, memories fade (逐渐消失), faces blur (变得模糊不清), and even friends' names from childhood are forgotte n.Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can't control others. If someone wan ts to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible (难以置信的) joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the sting (痛苦) will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.Sometimes when they go it will hurt, but you will be okay with it.It's the way life works, after all.21. The text is most probably taken from a __________A science newspaper B. novel C. health magazine D. Psychology book22. What can we learn about friendship, according?A Friends in childhood are sometimes forgotten by bus.B Friends are always around us and will never go away.C Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens.D Friendship can not be easily affected by one’s family.23. What does the underlines words “old timers” mean in the last paragraph?A Rich peopleB Old PeopleC Kind People D. Smart People24. The text mainly tells us__________A How to deal with unfriendly PeopleB that childhood friendship is valuableC how to face the change in friendshipD how to share happiness with friendsCA group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor．Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life．Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some extremely expensive — telling them to help themselves to the coffee．When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress．The fact is that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee．In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink．What all of you really wanted was coffee,not the cup, but you consciously(有意识地）went for the best cups．And then you began eyeing each other's cups．Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not change the quality of life we live．Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy thecoffee God has provided us．"God makes the coffee, not the cups．Enjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't have the best of everything．They just make the best of everything．"Live simply．Love generously．Care deeply．Speak kindly．Leave the rest to God．25．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．the nice-looking cup B．the ordinary-looking cupC．the coffee of good quality D．the coffee of poor quality26．Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?A．To give his students many more choices．B．To teach his students how to enjoy coffee．C．To tell his students the right attitude to lifeD．To show the students his collection of cups．27．According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____．A．get the best type of coffee cups B．care about social status and wealthC．have a wide range of coffee cups D．make the best of what they have语篇填空A: Mary, tomorrow is your Mum's 50th birthday, do you k now?B: Of course I do.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题一第二部分：阅读理解AI was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town’s o nly public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he didn’t raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door.1.At what time was the story set?A. An early winter morningB. A cold winter afternoonC. An early summer morningD. A windy summer afternoon2. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s impression of the town?A. cold and frighteningB. dirty and crowdedC. empty and deadD. unusual and unpleasant3. The underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph means_______________A. rushing out suddenlyB. shining brightlyC. flowing slowly in dropsD. appearing slowly4. Why didn’t the man raise his head when the writer came near?A. He was annoyed at being seen by the writer.B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.C. He was probably fast asleep.D. He was probably murdered.BTwo University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) to fight against the HIV virus, which causes AIDS.The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor and microbiologistJohn West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune (免疫) system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus.They theorize that if a key function of the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine.“To develop a new vaccine, we realized we first have to study and understand the immune system,” Lang said.Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T-cells. A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system’s antibodies, which fight outside invaders（侵入物）such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them.NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said.The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice. The Oklahoma Center is giving $ 300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding.“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,” Lang said.Lang said that in best-case scenario（最好的情况），their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years.5. The research to be carried out will focus on _______.A. the immune systemB. the test performed on miceC. NKT cellsD. the HIV virus6. We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that __________.A. other researchers need to help themB. the research seems to be a failureC. further research needs to be doneD. the vaccine can kill all viruses7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Lang works at the National Institutes of Health.B. The research will last one and a half years.C. The vaccine is ready for use.D. The AIDS virus may cause HIV.8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two researchers begin to study the immune systemB. NKT cells have been a part of research into cancerC. The relationship between the immune system and HIVD. Two scientists work to develop HIV vaccineCHistory is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (药理学家) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quicklyand untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.9. The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsB. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleepC. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problemsD. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impu lses10. The first paragraph is mainly organized by _________.A. classifying types of experimentsB. summarizing the work of one researcherC. comparing and exploring historical casesD. telling in time order about one man’s research11. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________.A. asked someone else to do itB. thought it was a bad ideaC. tried it out on his ownD. thought it was a wise idea12. The author probably thinks that _________.A. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideasB. dreaming is of very little value to most peopleC. Loewi should not have conducted his experimentD. college students should not try out dream experimentsDToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computerprograms just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.13. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products14. Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.D. Students at agricultural colleges needn’t take their normal agricultural courses.15.What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers’ Best FriendB. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and Robots阅读新题型：Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 16__ However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. __17 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. Theyconcluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___18__ After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent for brown colour found in their blood. Blue -eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown -eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. __ 19__ .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. _20__ .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explainedthat they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to orignore（忽略） others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviourbut also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students 第三部分：When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 21 had such a big influence 22 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, 23 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 24 to express my own 25 on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things 26 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better 27_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about 28 itself. There are so many things around us that 29 our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 30 it or not. What we can do is just to make 31 suit the world. I think we should learn to accept 32 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to 33 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the 34 moments. It is more likely that they slip by and leave you 35 regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should 36 such as my parents, friends, and so on.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题三第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ABEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement.“This will help lighten th e students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities,”said the announcement.Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams.Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie.Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities.To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.1. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or the take the independent exam.2. What’s the purpose of students sitting on e independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.3. If students pass the independent exam, they will ______.A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.C. be admitted to one of the universities.D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.4. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ‘education cost can be lowered.C. Students abilities and talents can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BArmed only with iPhones, the inventive rock band Atomic Tom has gone viral（广为流传） by way of the New York subway. The band has scored an Internet hit with the video to the song “Take Me Out．”Singer Luke White says the production was a top-secret operation．“We didn’t tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from our label, our management, everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,”explained White．Since uploading the video to YouTube, band members have spent several days refreshing the page to watch the number of hits rise．The video has also made its way around Twitter as many people have shared it with their friends．“I mean, it still has’ t quite hit.It’ s just kind of blowing our minds right now that we're getting this: many people are fond of it, and they’ re sharing it with their friends. We don’ t know what it’s like really to have something that’s viral, so all of this is very new to us.” said Eric Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band．White explains how the video came together:“We did our research with the applications（应用程序） and found applications that worked out really well with the instruments and then we plugged them all into, plugged our phones into mini-battery powered amplifiers（扩音器） that we put underneath our seats, and we did a lot of, you know, practices, in terms of figuring out what the balance of the sound and like who was overpowering, who was too loud or who was too soft．”The idea for the video came from Espiritu's younger brother Benjamin. The younger Espiritu directed the video from his initial concept through the final edit and upload to the Internet．“I’ ve seen a lot of the music applications come out, and I’ ve never actual ly had the chance to play with them,”says Ben Espiritu. “When I started hearing about how they sound and everything, I thought it might be unique to take it one step further and then create an entire band just performing solely（单曲） on the iPhones, and I thought it would be a pretty cool idea．”Ben says the success of the band’ s music video is a credit to the talent and ability of the musicians, but it’s also a sign of the times．“It really comes down to seeing something different, seeing something unique, and I think that that’ s always, in any type of art form, what will speak to people, and I think it does reflect the times that we live in, taking a smart phone and then being able to turn it into an instrument, not only just an instrument, but making it sound really good．”5. Who first saw the video of the song “Take Me Out”?A．Their friends B．The people on line C．Their family D．Their management6. What is the band members’ attitude towards the sudden fame?A. They are thrilled．B. They are quite used to it．C. They are kind of confused．D. They are so excited as to tell everyone they know．7. How did the video come into being?A. The band copied from it other musicians．B. It had already existed in the iPhones before they bought them．C. The band created it with the help of the applications in the iPhones．D. The band made full use of the traditional instruments to make the song．8. What is the significance of the success of the band’ s music video?A. It has introduced us several talented musicians．B. It has made the musicians into millionaires．C. It teaches the young a big lesson．D. It reflects the talent and ability of the musicians and the times that we live in．CIn one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease.In a study of almost 3, 000 men and 5, 000 women, depressed men were 70 per cent more likely to develop coronary (心脏的) heart disease than those who weren't depressed. While depressed women were just 12 per cent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 per cent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure.The link works the other way around, too: While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health. But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work.Researchers are n’ t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves. They’ re more likely to eat high-fat, high-calorie “comfort” foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy 0-3 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉) and prevent the body’ s natural healing mechanisms from working properly.A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on. This science is gradually sorting out how the mind-body connection affects us, or defenses against heart disease.Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form ofdepression every year. Although available treatments can ease symptoms (症状) in more than 80 per cent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need.9.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Depression—Heart Disease Risk Factor.B. Heart Disease—Health Killer.C. Depression—Mental Health Enemy.D. Heart Disease—Depression Factor.10. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. With high blood pressure, depression is another potential risk to women’s health.B. Depression, which is mild, can possibly cause damage to your health.C. Most people who experience depression get treated as they should be.D. Depression may have some influence on the function of heart disease medication.11. According to the passage, the possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following EXCEPT ______.A. depressed ones tend to eat high-fat and high-calories foods, which leads to physical damage to heartB. severe heart disease may cause people to feel hopeless and depressedC.depression may result in the lack of some kind of acids, which probably affects the working of people’ s heartD. people with depression often have a high level of stress hormones, maybe, which will put extra pressure on one’s heartDYi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson.A technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members' stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target."During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere," Yi said."At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too."Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko andWhitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning."In fact, they are the heroes right now," Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. "I'm just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero." She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS."I sang 'Fly Me to the Moon" Yi said about the 1950s pop song. "It's my favorite song from university although at that time I didn't know I would be an astronaut."The capsule's so-called "ballistic" re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.Whitson told reporters that Saturday's ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency."The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but I'm sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed," she said.In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia's first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.The Soyuz is the world's longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.12. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Flight in space is very dangerousB. Not everybody can go into spaceC. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronautD. Yi didn't know she would be an astronaut when she was young13. The reason why Yi Suo-yeon felt afraid at first was that __________.A. a fire was caused by the frictionB. she had no such experience beforeC. she was not brave enoughD. the other two didn't help her14. From the passage, we can learn that __________.A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South KoreaB. Whitson became energetic when they landed on earthC. the two other guys were not afraid during the descentD. the Soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history15. The underlined phrase in this passage means __________.A. out of workB. out of controlC. in the wrong directionD.in danger 阅读新题型Ancient Rome was one of the world’s most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago.

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题十第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear indep endent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often. We try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was sayi ng to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understoo d. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pr etend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A. they offer their helpB. they receive others’ helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness2. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heartB. he relies much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speed up to pass.B. They waited with patience.C. They tried their best to help.D. They put on their flashlights too.4. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. admit our weaknessD. show our bravery5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience.B. Weakness and Kindness.C. Weakness and StrengthD. A Driving ExperienceB.The website "FarmersOnly. com" calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. "You don’t have to be a farmer to be on "FarmersOnly. com". But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland. "You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, "", says there are more than l,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.6. Jerry Miller started "" in order to_____________.A. help farmersB. support traditionsC. understand farmersD. represent farmers7. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A.

It provides dating services.C. Only farmers can become its members.D. Farmers in France can’t benefit from it.9. The author of the text intends to_________________.A. advertise for the two websitesB. introduce two websitesC. encourage social activitiesD. urge readers to help farmers10. It can be inferred from the text that______________________.A. all farmers desire marriageB. farmers are easy to meet new peopleC. more farmers get divorced in the USAD. the Internet helps improve farmers’ social lifeC.What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective(客观的) and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.11. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________A. knowledge only.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.12. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.B. He is interested in problems that are explained.C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.D. He looks for new ways of acting.13. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.A. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.14. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?A. completeB. objectiveC. complicatedD. accurate15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.阅读新题型What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 16 .
