2018北京各城区高三二模英语分类汇编--阅读理解C【西城二模】CBritish anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, afterstudying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestylewrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has noeffect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins isnot simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males—the ones who are more successful with females—have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches andthis increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches. Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues thinkthey have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the bluefooted booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do theirclothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?43.According to their research, Hill and Barton conclude that _____.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes performbetter when surrounded by bright red44.The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.A.achieveB. seekC. keepD. change45.The example of the blue footed booby proves that _____.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is46.What is the best title for the passage?A. What Colour Implies More Power?B. A Tip on ClothingC. Need to Change the Rules in Sports?D. Red Is for Winners【东城二模】C“When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken byth ousands of Kenyanchildren. 50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population.This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: Whatenables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?Although the question seems simple, finding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial. A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. Kalenjins live in high-elevation（高海拔） villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce morered blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air isthinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the bodyproduces more red blood cells.Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low altitudes. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have longer “birdlike” legs. The Kalenjins a lso have lower bodymass indexes (a measure of body fat based on weight and height) and shorter bodies thanDanish people.As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made theconclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene（基因）.”However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training.Although the controversy over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting per spective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’tmeeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runnerswere training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sport, Farahsaid it was like a switch had been turned on in his head. He began eating healthy foods, going tobed early, and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won sevenworld and Olympic titles in th e 5000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners!Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Regardless of genetics, their success would not be possible without hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and mental toughness. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast, and never give up.43. What interested the sport scientists?A. Kenyansport history.B. Kanlenjins’ running ability.C. Kanlenjins’ training methods.D. Kenyans’enthusiasm for sport.44.

A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an absent father. But each day he would walk in to school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that "no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mother’s incompetence.” The boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as“resilience”.Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists. People who are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity (逆境) won't know how resilient they are. It's only when they're faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.Garmezy 's work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individual’s success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “inte rnal lens of control(内控点)”. They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates.Ceorge Bonanno has been studying resilience for years al Columbia University 's Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might come from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” events themselves don't have much predictive power when it comes to life outcomes. "Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later functioning,” Bonanno said. "It's on ly predictive if there's a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesn't guarantee that you'll suffer going forward.The good news is that positive perception can be taught. "We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things," Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, theneuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different ways--to reframe it in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”---changes how they experience and react to the adversity.43. According to the passage, resilience is an individual's ability________.A. to think criticallyB. to decide one’s own fateC. to live a better lifeD. to recover from adversity44. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The psychologistsB. The resilient childrenC. Positive elementsD. Internal locus of control45. According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that____________.A. your positive perception may turn adversity aroundB. stressful events are more predictive than delightful eventsC. experiencing adversity predicts that you will go on sufferingD. a negative response doesn't guarantee you will suffer all the time46. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach people how to be resilientB. To encourage people to live through adversityC. To indicate people’s perception varies from each othe rD. To compare different research findings about resilience43. D 44. B 45. A 46. A【丰台二模】CScientists say we are all born with a knack for mathematics. Every time we scan the cafeteria for a table that will fit all of our friends, we’re exercisin g the ancient estimation center in our brain.Stanislas Dehaene was the first researcher to show that this part of the brain exists. In 1989, he met Mr. N who had suffered a serious brain injury. Mr. N couldn’t recognize the number 5, or add 2 and 2. But h e still knew that there are “about 50 minutes” in an hour. Dehaene drew an important conclusion from his case: there must be two separate mathematical areas in our brains. One area is responsible for the math we learn in school, and the other judges approximate amounts.So what does the brain’s estimation center do for us? Harvard University researcher Elizabeth Spelke has spent a lot of time posing math problems to preschoolers. When he asks 5-year-olds to solve a problem like 21+30, they can’t do it. But he has also asked them questions such as, “Sarah has 21 candles and gets 30 more. John has 34 candles. Who has more candles?” It turns out preschoolers are great at solving questions like that. Before they’ve learned how to do math with numerals and symbol s, their brains’ approximation centers are already hard at work.After we learn symbolic math, do we still have any use for our inborn math sense? Justin Halberda at Johns Hopkins University gave us an answer in his study. He challenged a group of 14-year-olds with an approximation test: The kids stared at a computer screen and saw groups of yellow and blue dots flash by, too quickly to count. Then they had to say whether there had been more blue dots or yellow dots. The researchers found that most were able to answer correctly when there were 25 yellow dots and 10 blue ones. When the groups were closer in size, 11 yellow dots and 10 blue ones, fewer kids answered correctly.The big surprise in this study came when the researcher compared the kids’ approxima tion test scores to their scores on standardized math tests. He found that kids who did better on theflashing dot test had better standardized test scores, and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that,far from being irrelevant, your math sense might predict your ability at formal math.44. From the first two studies, we can learn that estimation center .A. is divided into two separate mathematical areasB. can help figure out numerals and symbols problemsC. functions independently in both kids’ and adul t s’ brainsD. works better when symbolic parts are injured or undergrown45. What most surprised Justin in the study of 14-year-olds?A. The variety of math abilities in different students.B. The link between technology skills and estimation skills.C. The difficulty of the task as the number of dots increased.D. The connection between estimation skills and formal math ability.46. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Born with a Sense of Math.B. Go beyond What You Can Learn.C. Symbolic Math and Estimation Math.D.

By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is—who created grammar?Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to itat the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgroundsthey began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basicallya pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children whojoined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of specialuse of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same way. Sothe original pidgin was greatly improved.Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending—may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.43. What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language?A. It was difficult to understand.B. It came from different languages.C. It was created by the landowners.D. It contained highly complex grammar.44. What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?A. No consistent signs were used for communication.B. Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.C. The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.D. The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.45. Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?A. English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.B. Children say English past tense differently from adults.C. The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.D. Experts have proven that English was created by children.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Creators of GrammarB. The History of LanguagesC. Why Pidgins Came into BeingD. How Grammar Systems Are Used。
