They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the l ives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age isessentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.The passage mainly deals with ______.单选题A. A. life and deathB. B. heroes and heroinesC. C. heroes and iconsD. D. icons and celebritiesHeroes and heroines are usually _________.单选题A. A. courageousB. B. exemplaryC. C. self-sacrificingD. D. all of the aboveWhich of the following statements is wrong? _________单选题A. A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. C. One's look can contribute to being famous.D. D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________.单选题A. A. when she was 19B. B. when she became a princessC. C. just before her deathD. D. after she gave birth to a princeWha t is more likely to set an icon’s status? ________单选题A. A. Good looks.B. B. Tragic and early death.C. C. Personal attraction.D. D. The quality of one's story.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------22.This story is about a young man. He worked very hard at his lessons. He was too busy to have a rest. At last, he couldn’t go to sleep. Every night, when he went to bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But the more he tried, the more he stayed awake.After a while he decided to visit the doctor. “I just can’t go to sleep at night. What should I do?” “I have a suggestion,” said the doctor. “Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you’ll be asleep. I am sure of it.”The next day the man reached the doctor’s office. “Well,” said the doctor, “how are you today? Did you try my suggestion?”The man still looked tired. “Yes,” he said, “I tried counting one, two, three...up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand, but then I still couldn’t fall asleep.”The young man couldn’t go to sleep because he had worked too hard and became ill.单选题A.

He was a tall man with a serious look on his face, and I was a bit intimidated by him. However, as I got to know him better, I realized that he was actually a very kind and patient teacher. He always took the time to explain things clearly and made sure that we understood the material before moving on to the next topic.One day, during a lecture on ancient history, Professor Smith mentioned a famous battle that took place in 300 BC. He described the battle in great detail, and I was fascinated by the story. After the lecture, I approached him and asked ifhe could recommend any books on the subject. He smiled and handed me a list of five books, all of which were written by him.I was surprised to learn that Professor Smith was not only a great teacher but also a prolific writer. I decided to read one of his books and was amazed by the depth of his knowledge and the clarity of his writing. From that moment on, I became a devoted student of Professor Smith and learned a great deal from him.BIn today's fast-paced world, it's more important than ever to stay organized and focused. One way to do this is by using a daily planner. A daily planner can help you keep track of your appointments, tasks, and goals, and can help you stay on top of your responsibilities.One of the benefits of using a daily planner is that it can help you prioritize your tasks. By listing your tasks in order of importance, you can ensure that you're focusing on the most important things first. This can help you stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed by your workload.Another advantage of using a daily planner is that it can help you stay organized. By keeping all of your appointments and tasks in one place, you can easily see what you need to do and when you need to do it. This can help you avoid forgetting important tasks or appointments.Finally, using a daily planner can help you stay focused onyour goals. By setting specific goals and tracking your progress, you can stay motivated and focused on achieving your objectives.CIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power. These alternative energy sources have several advantages over traditional fossil fuels, such as coal and oil.One of the main advantages of alternative energy sources is that they are renewable. Unlike fossil fuels, which arefinite and will eventually run out, alternative energy sources can be replenished naturally. This means that they can provide a sustainable source of energy for the future.Another advantage of alternative energy sources is that they are cleaner than fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases harmful pollutants into the air, which can contribute to air pollution and climate change. In contrast, alternative energy sources produce little to no emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly option.Finally, alternative energy sources can help reduce our dependence on foreign oil. By using alternative energy sources, we can reduce our need to import oil from other countries, which can help improve our energy security and reduce our vulnerability to price fluctuations.三、完形填空部分The world is full of wonders, but some of the mostfascinating sights can be found underwater. One such wonder is the Great。

2015年英语（一）真题阅读理解text 3详解阅读理解的第三篇属于非理科专业学生不太熟悉的话题——统计数据检查和同行评审，但是好在生词量不大，虽然有专有名词，也可以忽略。

难点体现在考察得比较细，同学们需要细心看才能做正确。

第31题，It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that______.(从第一段可以看出什么)。

还是问的主要内容，那么根据西方人的思维和写作习惯，主要的和重要的都在前面，因此，重点是读第一句话。

The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to…(科学杂志在…基础上增加了另外一轮统计数据检查)。

对比答案，只有B选项journals are strengthening their statistical checks.提到了加强统计数据检查。

但是答案中说的journals,(许多期刊杂志)，文中第一句是The journal Science,可能一些同学会心存疑惑，文中第二句就提到了The policy follows similar efforts from other journals,(这个做法是效仿其他杂志的做法)，说明很多杂志都这样做了。

第32题，The phrase “flagged up ”(Para.2)is the closest in meaning to _____.(文中第二段的flagged up是什么意思)。

要推断be flagged up的含义需要结合上下文，原文是Manuscript will be flagged up for additional scrutiny(附加的详细审阅) by…(某团体), or by…(某些人),or by…(某群人).句子的意思是手稿要被...或…或…进行附加的详细审阅。

表示“要”怎么样。

Be marked for 字面意思为“被标记为”，其实含义就是“以…为特征，要…样”。

Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particula r table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wou ldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What m ade the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.26.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains t he Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A.

By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehan n e told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology caf e is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all overFrance. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
