When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over.Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceano graphic Institution, asking how I might learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California, for my study. One year later I became a member of the freshman class.Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our nature world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world. Ineeded to learn a lot about geography, navigation, geology, biology, and many other things.I decided another important thing for me to dow as to join the U. S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn't want that to happen.In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures so that we could explore thewonders of the deep.Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come.(1) What happened to the author at the age of twelve?A. He dreamed about undersea exploration.B. He began to swim under the deep water.C. He surfed on big waves for the first time.D. He learned to dive off the cliffs.(2) In college, the author took many different types of courses because he.A. was told it was easy to get lost in explorationB. was advised to take them by Dr.RobertNorrisC. thought they were needed to fully understand the oceanD. believed it would help him succeed in the Navy(3) The author joined the Navy to.A. develop his leadership skillsB. get along with people under stressC. learn about the dangers of the oceanD. gather specific information about ocean life(4) Which word can best describe the author?A. Imaginative.B. Optimistic.C. Independent.D. Ambitious.19、【来源】 2012年北京丰台区高三一模(C篇)第19题Some wonderfully creative uses of X-rays have been in the world of art. But the most impressive one is to uncover what has been covered up. Details unfolded by an X-ray of a painting can't be seen any other way. For example, in the past, paintings were often repaired if small pieces of paint fell off the canvas(帆布). These repairs cannot be seen just by looking at the painting. It takes an X-ray to discover where the repairs have been made.An X-ray of a painting is one of the best ways to tell if it was created by a famous painter or if it is a forgery. If there is a question as to whether an old master has painted a certain painting or not, X-rays are made and compared to those of paintings that are known to be original. If the brushstrokes (笔迹), for example, are shown to be totally different than in other work done by a certain artist, then the painting is proved to be a fake copy.Since modern paints are usually made from different materials than paints of hundreds of years ago, the image they leave on an X-ray film looks different. This is another way X-rays can be used to spot a forgery. A modern artist will try to make a forgery look hundreds of years old by painting dirty vanish on it or by using artificial means to get the varnish to look cracked. To the naked eye the forgery may look old, but when a careful study of the X-ray image is made, the deception is obvious.It was common many years ago for an artist to finish a painting, decide it wasn't any good, and paint a completely different picture on top of it. Or artists would paint over others' work—it was their version of recycling. Taking an X-ray is the only way to find out if there is a picture underneath the picture you see with your eyes. Sometimes museums will be more interested in the painting beneath than the one on top, and will restore the older one by having the top layer painstakingly removed.(1) What is the main purpose of the article?A. To provide information to police who are looking for stolen art.B. To persuade art dealers to check for fake copies before selling art.C. To explain how modern technology can be applied in unique ways.D. To help artists restore damaged art work to its original appearance.(2) According to the passage.X-rays are used to.A. make repairs on paintings in the pastB. identify the authenticity of an artworkC. change the materials of a forgeryD. remove the recyclable paints(3) In Paragraph 3, the word "deception"probably means.A. comparisonB. drawbackC. trickeryD. judgment(4) Which is the best title for the passage?A. X-ray DetectivesB. Creative Uses of TechnologyC. Forgery StudiesD. X-ray Painting Techniques20、【来源】 2012年北京丰台区高三一模(D篇)第20题2015~2016学年北京东城区北京市第二中学高三上学期期中第20题Learning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers, but it is also a great responsibility. Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them at first seems unfair, there are convincing reasons for this requirement.The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16-and 17-year-old drivers are twice aslikely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal (致命的) crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a car load of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it.A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25. Until this study, researchers had placed the age at 18. If this is true, it could explain the reckless (鲁莽的) behavior of many teens, behavior that often extends into their twenties. It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people.This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary. One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in risky driving situations. The study, which uses a driving game, has an individual guide a car through a course, both alone and in the presence of friends. Three different age groups participated in the study: 13-16, 18-22, and 24 and older. Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present, but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friends. Furthermore, because these drivers were accustomed to the noise and distraction of many passengers, they were unable to see their own mistakes. Once again, this is a good indication that a law restricting the number of teenagers in the car with a young driver is a good idea.(1) What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph2?A. Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence.B. It' s reasonable to severely limit the passenger number of teen drivers.C. New teen drivers have to ask permission before driving with friends.D. There are many causes behind the teens' driving accidents.(2) From the two studies, the author probably suggests that.A. different age groups have different peer pressureB. teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers' noiseC. under developed brain makes teens ignore their mistakesD. driving circumstances are bound up with the risk of accidents(3) We can infer that the law restriction can probably.A. protect teens on the highwayB. raise teens' sense of responsibilityC. reduce the number of fatal crashesD. force teens to drive with caution(4) With which statement would the author most likely disagree?A. Some teenagers have risky behavior while driving.B. Certain laws treat teenagers and adults differently.C. We still need more studies on teen driving.D. Driving is important to a teenager' s sense of independence.四、七选五21、【来源】 2012年北京丰台区高三一模第21题Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect toward others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? Critics do not thinkso.1Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.Teaching good sportsmanship and having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are critical to success in school.2Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life.3 A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Knowing the rules also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the guidelines. Those who know the rules are much more likely to succeed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover, how knowing the rules relates to achievement.Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less-talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records.4Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else' s fault. When students participate on a team, they benefit by learning to accept responsibility, encourage others and own up to mistakes.Sportsmanship is a winning idea. It must be taught in school. Students need direction to become goodsports". Students will be responsible for their own actions and will have a positive influence on others.As students enter the workforce, businesses benefit. The community also benefits because these students will someday become leaders.5A. We need to educate students about how sportsmanship pays off for everyone.B. However,the stronger argument favors teaching good sportsmanship.C. Sports help young adults learn how to team up with others.D. Good sportsmanship also means admitting mistakes.E. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense.F. It is natural that players should be eager to win.G. Good team players know the rules of the game.五、书面表达22、【来源】 2012年北京丰台区高三一模第22题假设你是红星中学高三(1)的学生李华,请根据以下四幅图的信息,为校刊英语园地写一篇英文稿件,叙述上周六你参加学校组织的 "Career Day" 的活动过程及感受。

Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes,which are battery-powered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,e-cigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes.B.Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes.C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.D.Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes.2.According to Zogby International,e-cigarettes ______.A.are much safer than common cigarettesB.are popular among people who want to quit smokingC.will take the place of traditional cigarettesD.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers3.What do we know about e-cigarettes from the passage?A.Most Americans are familiar with them.B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.D.Most people buy them on the Internet.4.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes?A.Negative.B.Supportive.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.答案Ⅰ.1.C2.D3.C4.C5.D6.B7.A8.B9.C10.C11.C 12.A 13.B 14.B15.BⅡ.1.D2.C3.D4.B5.A6.C7.D8.B9.A10.C11.D 12.A13.B14.C 15.B16.C17.D18.A19.B20.C Ⅲ.1.B2.B3.D4.A。

Soon his dad would call him. And he didn’t want to go. He wished he hadn’t come to the lake for the weekend. “We’re ready,” Dad said as he came in from the porch. “ Grab your rod.” Alex turned away from the window and slowly picked up his fishing rod. “Have fun!” Mom said. “Sure,” said Alex, trying to make his voice bright. “We should have done this before.” Dad said. “Let’s catch a big one!” Dad picked up his tackle (钓具) box, rod, and bait can from the porch. He clicked on the flashlight.They walked down the hill toward the lake in the narrow beam of light. The only thing Alex could see was the circle of weeds and rocks at their feet, lit by the flashlight. Insect voices filled his ears---clicks, hums, buzzes, whines. Hundreds of bugs waited in the darkness to attack. “Ow!” he blurted as he felt a sting on his arm. “Mosquitoes,” Dad said. “I have brought some s pray (喷雾) to keep them off.”When they reached the boat, Alex stumbled as he climbed over the side. “I don’t like this much,” he said. “It’s so dark.” Dad squeezed his shoulder. “Don’t worry. It’s not as dark as you think. After a while your eyes will get used to the night.” Suddenly something rushed past Alex’s head. He gasped. “What was that?” “Probably a bat,” Dad said. How could Dad act as if it were nothing! “Will bats be flying around our heads the whole time?” “This is their time to be out catching insects,” Dad explained. “They won’t hurt you. They’re too busy grabbing dinner.” He pushed the boat off the gravel (沙砾) and jumped in. Alex gazed back at the cabin.A square of light from the window glowed in the darkness.Dad rowed to the middle of the lake and stopped. “We’ll just let the boat drift. Keep the flashlight in the bottom of the boat. The fish won’t bite if they see light flashing around. When we’ve done baiting our hooks(鱼钩), we’ll turn the light off.” Leaning down to get closer to the lig ht, Alex tried to thread a worm on his hook, but he couldn’t seem to work his fingers right. So what if the worm was only partly on the hook? He didn’t want to fish anyway. He didn’t even want to be there.56. Whom did Alex go fishing with?A. No one.B. His motherC. His parentsD. His father57. They turned the flashlight off _____________________.A. to sleep wellB. not to frighten off the fish in the lakeC. to get to used to the nightD. to catch big fish58.

阅读理解:32分 A When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence. People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can leam to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals. One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do? Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do. Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing.After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team. Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence. 1.What is the passage mainly about? A.The influence of confidence on one's life. B.The importance of confidence to success. C.The difference of people's confidence.
