Tales of the unexplained李仕才一、阅读理解。
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。
One of the main creators of the World Wide Web,Sir Tim BernersLee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet,“A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths,or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way.”In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogg ing.Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information.However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog.This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.It's interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科)has had to take steps to prevent false information from being added to the biographies of living people.It's easy for anybody to edit the open source.However,some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards,Wikipedia has sought to stop the false materials.At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work.The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet.There appears no slowdown in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries.Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody.Sir Tim has recently launched a new joint initiative (倡议)between the University of Southampton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science.The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.1.What is the especially serious problem that Sir Tim refers to?A.The growth of the Internet is too fast.B.The Internet has a side effect on young children.C.The Internet companies compete against each other in an unfair way.D.The false information spreads rapidly on the Internet.2.What causes the biographies to have false information?A.The Internet users refuses other users to correct them.B.Wikipedia doesn't take any steps.C.Anybody can easily edit the biographies.D.Wikipedia attempts to publish false materials.3.According to the last paragraph,the purpose of the joint initiative is to ________.A.provide free Internet access to the poor countriesB.improve the reliability of online contentC.create the first degree in science and technologyD.enlarge the use of the Internet4.We can infer from the text that ________.A.Sir Tim has built two schools recentlyB.the Internet is harmful to the people's healthC.Sir Tim hopes everyone can use the Internet for freeD.the Internet develops slowly in the developing countries【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了互联网的快速发展所带来的一些问题。

A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 11. Healthy Eating is the First StepIf you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn,through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories.2 Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.2. Follow a training scheduleSticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 3 So it’s much harder topostpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can alsohelp you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly.3. Run regularlyIf you don’t want to follow a schedule, y ou still need to have some consistency with your running because youwon’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best toget some activity every day. 4 If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tipsto get inspired.4. 5Incorporating speed work or interval training (runningat a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a shortperiod of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.A. Keep it challengingB. Eat for PerformanceC. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next.E. If you’re hoping to use run ning to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful.F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation.G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3―4 times per week.【语篇解读】跑步是很好的减肥的方法,但是怎样才是正确的跑步方法,文章给出一些建议.1.E 【解析】根据上文"A 150-pound person will burnapproximately 100 calories per mile when running."150磅的人跑步的时候大约燃烧100卡路里.可知这里是:如果你想通过跑步减肥,这里有些关于怎么成功的建议.故选E.2.D 【解析】根据下文"Runners do have special nutritionneeds, but the basic principles for healthy eatingstill apply."可知这里是:你需要将跑步和健康饮食结合起来.故选D.3.C 【解析】根据上文"Sticking to a training schedule isa simple way to stay motivated to run."可知这里是:你将知道你每天要做什么,每次跑步给下一次奠定基础.故选C.4.G 【解析】根据上文"It’s best to get some activityevery day."可知这里是:如果那样不可能,每周至少锻炼三四次.故选G.5.A 【解析】根据下文"Incorporating speed work or interval training"可知这里是:要保持有一定挑战.故选A.。
单元强化练(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·太原模拟)Urban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus,subway,train,etc.).The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada.To use public transportation,you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass.Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more).They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities.In many cities and towns,there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility,such as specially equipped buses.You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette(礼仪) on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train,it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space.Here are a few things to note:◆Be polite and respectful to others around you.For example,maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle,keep it close to you,preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.Sometimes public transit can become very crowded,but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了加拿大的公共交通方式和交通卡、公共交通为残疾人提供的服务及在公共交通工具上应注意的一些礼仪。

by se v eral questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information gi v en in the passage.ATokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be.Of course there are too many cars.The Japanese drive very fast,but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams.Tokyo is not different from London,Paris and New York in that.It is different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street.But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot,and sometimes it is really difficult to walk.People are very polite;there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night.That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home.There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo,and you do not often see one that is empty.During the day,most people travel to and from work by train.Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day.At most stations,trains arrive every two or three minutes,but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains.Although they are usually crowded,Japanese trains are very good.They always leave and arrive on time.On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper.On Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep,whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo,I stood outside the station for five minutes.Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day.Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.56.Tokyo is different from London in that ______.A.there are many traffic jamsB.nightclubs are sometimes emptyC.wherever I want to be,it's too crowdedD.it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot57.According to the passage,Japanese trains ______.A.are always punctualB.often delay at most situationsC.are crowded because they are often lateD.are the last means people use to travel to and from work58.What is the passage mainly about?A.The writer's impression of Tokyo.B.The reasons why the writer loves Tokyo.C.Different means of transportation in Tokyo.D.Many surprises that Tokyo has brought to the writer.59.Fires break out ______ in Tokyo according to the writer.A.very seldom B.quite frequentlyC.three times a day D.the most often in the world60.Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo?A.Tokyo people are friendly.B.There are more trains than cars.C.Fire-engines are very busy in the city.D.The streets become most crowded at 11:30 at night.BAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue,encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.61.What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A.Using too much packaging.B.Recycling too many wastes.C.Making more products than necessary.D.Having more material than is needed.62.The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ______.A.the tendency of cutting household wasteB.the increase of packaging recyclingC.the rapid growth of super marketsD.the fact of packaging overuse63.According to the text,recycling ______.A.helps control the greenhouse effectB.means burning packaging for energyC.is the solution to gas shortageD.leads to a waste of land64.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D.Other products are better packaged than food.65.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B.Needless material is mostly recycled.C.People like collecting recyclable waste.D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.CA little under one-third of US families have no Internet access and do not plan to get it,with most of the holdouts seeing little use for it in their lives,according to a survey released on Friday.Park Associates,a Dallas-based technology market research firm,said 29 percent of US families,or 31 million homes,do not have Internet access and do not intend to subscribe(预订)to an Internet service over the next 12 months.The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet,versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service,the survey showed.The answer “I'm not sure how to use the Internet”came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe.The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users.Three percent said the Internet doesn't reach their homes.The study found US broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006,up from 42 percent in 2005.Roughly half of new subscribers converted(转变)from slower-speed,dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.“The industry continues to chip(击破)away at the core of non-subscribers,but has a long way to go,”said John Barrett,director of research at Parks Associates.“Entertainment applications will be the key.If anything pulls in the holdouts,it's going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.66.What does the underlined word “holdouts”in the first paragraph most probably mean?A.some American familiesB.those who hold out one's opinionsC.those who have been surveyedD.those who still haven't access to the Internet currently67.Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because ______.A.they show too much concern about the cost B.they can find little value of itC.they do most YouTube-watching at work D.the Internet doesn't reach their homes68.From the passage we can infer that ______.A.it is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet usersB.people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC.many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD.more than half of the population were using the Internet in 200569.According to John Barrett,what is the key to attracting more US families to broadband service?A.Making the Internet look more similar to TV set.B.Applying the Internet more to entertainment.C.Providing more pay-TV programs.D.Chipping away at the core of non-subscribers.70.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Web develops with technologyB.The present situation of webC.Many Americans see little point to webD.It is urgent to promote web servicePart ⅣWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions:Read the follo w ing passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each ans w er.You want a smart phone, but just how smart do you want it? How about one that can read your mind?Well,that phone may well be on its way...Justin Rattner,chief researcher at Intel,says that technology has developed to the point that “context-aware computing(情景感知计算)”,an idea that's been around for twenty years, is becoming more of a reality.That could lead to a phone that acts as a mind reader in your pocket.But rather than simply collect secrets about you, the device could do things with that information, such as predict what you might do next and make suggestions.Rattner gave a few examples during his speech at Intel's developer conference in San Francisco recently.Among them is a software that Intel worked on with Fodor's Tra v el, a traveling website.It learns what types of foods you like to eat and what types of places you like to visit, based on searches you type into the phone or places you searched using GPS(全球定位系统).The software makes similar recommendations when you visit a new city.Tech companies are already working to predict what people want.Search engine Google, movie-rental service Netflix, and online radio service Pandora try to guess what people want even before they know they want it.Putting those types of functions together with the other information that phones collect about people could pave the way for even more helpful mobile phones, Rattner said.A challenge is training computers to look at data from “hard sensors(传感器)”(which measure place, movement, temperature and the like)and combining those findings with data from “soft sensors”(such as calendar appointments and Web browsing history).For example, your phone could tell that you have just left school and seem to be on your way home—a location it might know from your address book.It could then tell you the best route around traffic.Rattner added that researchers are even making steps toward the final goal—a computerSection BDirections:Read the follo w ing passage.Ans w er the questions according to the information gi v en in the passage.Scientists have discovered that living to the age of 100 may have nothing to do with the lifestyle you lead and everything to do with the type of genes you have.For the lucky carriers of “Methuselah”genes, worries over smoking, eating unhealthily and not getting enough exercise may not be as necessary as to those of us without the special gene pattern.The “Methuselah” genes could give extra protection against the diseases of old age such as cancer and heart disease.They could also protect people against the effects of the unhealthy lifestyles that we believe will lead us to an early death, scientists say.However, the genes are very rare.The genes include ADIPOQ, which is found in about 10 percent of young people but in nearly 30 percent of people living past 100.They also include the CETP and the ApoC3 genes, which are found in 10 percent of young people, but in about 20 percent of people over 100 years old.Some of those genes were discovered by a research group at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, led by Professor Nir Barzilai.The team studied the genes of over 500 people over 100 years old, and their children.The studies show that tiny mutations(变异)in the make-up of some genes can greatly increase a person's lifespan.Barzilai told a Royal Society conference that the discovery of such genes gave scientists clear targets for developing drugs that could prevent age-related diseases, allow people to live longer and stay healthy.David Gems, a researcher at University College London, believes that drugs to slow ageing will become widespread.“If we know which genes control longevity(长寿)then we can...target them with drugs.That makes it possible to slow down ageing,” he told The Times.“Much of the pain and suffering in the world is caused by ageing.If we can find a way to reduce that, then we are obliged to take it.”81.Which genes could give extra protection against the diseases of old age?(No more than 3 words.)(2 marks)________________________________________________________________________ 82.Whom did Barzilai's team study?(No more than 10 words.)(2 marks)________________________________________________________________________ 83.What can greatly increase a person's lifespan?(No more than 10 words.)(3 marks)________________________________________________________________________ 84.What can scientists do if they are aware which genes control longevity?(No more than 6 words.)(3 marks)________________________________________________________________________ Section C(25 marks)Directions:Write an English composition according to the instructions gi v en belo w in Chinese.通过描述一件你亲身经历的事情来说明主题“Honesty makes a difference”,要求词数不少于120个。

To answer this question, researchers have conducted followup studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important ❶ factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result❷ may not surprise you, it leads to important practical❸ advice.

单元强化练(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·太原模拟)Urban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus,subway,train,etc.).The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada.To use public transportation,you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass.Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more).They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities.In many cities and towns,there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility,such as specially equipped buses.You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette(礼仪) on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train,it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space.Here are a few things to note:◆Be polite and respectful to others around you.For example,maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle,keep it close to you,preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.Sometimes public transit can become very crowded,but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了加拿大的公共交通方式和交通卡、公共交通为残疾人提供的服务及在公共交通工具上应注意的一些礼仪。

]B(2019·广州检测)At first sight,Alma Deutscher,a thirteenyearold girl from England appears to be like any other typical preteen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average.Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as“little Mozart”by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale,which she began writing at ageeight,has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.“In my Cinderella,she sings the beginning of a ballad—but at midnight she flees.Eventually,the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the bal lad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna,Austria on December 29,2016,where the elevenyearold girl skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews.The young genius has since performed two new piano works,once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Alma is not worried.She says,“Of course I have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams,and at least when I work hard,I work hard for something incredibly exciting,like seeing my whole opera put on.”Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an 18monthold toddler,she was able to hum a perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However,Alma's abilities only gained international attention in 2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star,dubbed“little Moza rt”.This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either,saying“There was only one Mozart,and I prefer to be little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself,the thirteenyearold is changing the world of music forever!【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。
