定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校高三英语限时训练(26)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. AWhere is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others! ks**5uReasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers’ former homes, others i n honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John Coffee, Robert Beaty, John D. Carroll, and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a ‘W’.2. The word “tallied” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.A. builtB. believedC. addedD. visited3. What might have made the official in Washington change Mosco into Moscow?A. Moscow was a world-famous city name.B. He thought Moscoso would prefer Moscow.C. He believed Moscow was a far better name.D. He couldn't spell very well and made a mistake.4. The best title for the passage is ________.A. The Story of Moscow, KansasB. American Cities and Their NamesC. Interesting NamesD. Old World Place Names in AmericaBI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir(回忆录)after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he’s honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation.I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating(解放性的)realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.5. We can learn from the passage that____________.A. fun creates long-lasting satisfactionB. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happinessC. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-livedD. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness7. In the author’s opinion, marriage____________.A. affords greater funB. leads to raising childrenC. indicates duty and devotionD. usually ends up in pain9. If one gets the meaning of the true sense of happiness, hewill____________.A. stop playing games and joking with othersB. keep himself with his familyC. give a free hand to moneyD. use his time to increase happinessCEveryone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don't tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee nu mbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee pack your things. We'll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,”she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said. “Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?” ks**5uThe eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”11. Paddy cried because he thought ______________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character13. Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.”B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.”C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.”D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.”14. What is Fee's probable relationship with Frank and Paddy?A. Son and brother.B. Son and husband.C. Brother and lover.D. Lover and husband.DPsychology has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy(疗法) seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient.The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor(肿瘤) in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells.Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance(催眠状态). Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment. ks**5uDoctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic(慢性的)diseases. Asthma (哮喘) is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collision has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to use the mind against disease.B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.16. How does psychological therapy work?A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.17. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.?A. The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C. The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D. Few patients have emotional response to the disease.18. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that .A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB. the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC. the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them19. It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to .A. help adults deal with the strong pain of some diseasesB. help the patients with chronic diseasesC. help change some bad habitsD. help cure patients of insomnia(失眠症)20. According to the passage, which of the following remains unknown so far?A. The value of mental therapy.B. The effectiveness of suggestion therapy.C. The working principle of suggestion therapy.D. The importance of psychology in medical treatment.高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC 高三英语限时训练(26)1-15 CAD/CCD/CAB/ACBCDC。

If you’re a guest at an Affinia hotel,the staff will try to find out what you need just by looking at you。
The Affinia Hotel Collection is improving service in its five hotels in New York City and one each in Chicago and Washington,D.C.Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on body language。
A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for。
A guest who makes eye contact while walking down the hall,for example,may be open to conversation.A businessman frequently touching an ear is probably nervous and may be interested in a therapeutic pillow (理疗枕头).“So many companies,when they talk about service,they program it to how many rings till you answer the phone,” says John Moser,marketing officer for Affinia.“That doesn’t sound very reasonable.Let’s give employees some tools they can use to find out what's the right way to talk with somebody at a particular time."Patti Wood,a body language expert who carried out the Affinia training,says she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees.“All of the training is to make sure every single guest is treated as special," she says。

How to Be CreativeMost of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 5 The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1. Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patternsand welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 6 In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2. Try different thingsIf you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 7 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.3. 8Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 9 The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.A. Take actionB. Seek several optionsC. Thi nk from the other person’s point of view.D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.二、语法填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

British director Steve McQueen’s brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong’o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,〞 said McQueen in his acceptance speech.“12 Years a Slave〞was better over space thriller “Gravity〞 from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative〞 experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity〞, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.〞 In one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscarstatuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club〞, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards. Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for h is role as Woodroof’s unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.Australia’s Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husband’s financial crimes in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.〞“As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,〞 said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.36. The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is ______.A. 12 Years a SlaveB. GravityC. Dallas Buyers ClubD. Blue Jasmine37. Which director spent the least money in making the film?A. Steve McQueen.B. Alfonso Cuaron.C. Jean-Marc Vallee.D. Woody Allen.38. How many Oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B.

The coral in the pots is also expected to grow.The Location:The Gardener of Hope was placed 4 meters deep at Punta Nizuc near the coast of Cancun.Behind the Scenes:The pots here are filled with live coral cuttings that were saved from areas of the local reef system. Man on FireThe Visual:Man on Fire describes a lone male figure covered in live fire coral to resemble fire.The Meaning:The sculpture symbolizes the unawareness of the “fire〞 our generation has started with the over use of limited natural resources.The Hope:Man on Fire has 75 holes planted with small live cuttings of fire coral which are expected to grow like fire. The Location:Man on Fire was installed 8 meters deep at the Manchones Reef nearby to Isla Mujeres.Behind the Scenes:The sculpture was cast from a local Mexicanfisherman and it weighs over 1 ton.The Silent EvolutionThe Visual:Here more than 400 sculptures depict the timeline ofhuman nature.The Meaning:It is a documentation of how society and people havechanged over time.

His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensit y in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.〞 His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.〞 As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.Bunyan’s style was modeled after that o f the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of readinghis novel and to relive the experience of his characters.Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman(1680), The Holy War(1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor—life as a journey—is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.“The Vanity Fair,〞 is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist.There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the CelestialCity, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.43. According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.A. his father was making and mending pots and kettlesB. Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundingsC. the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest waysD. Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls44. What are the main characteristics of Bunyan’s works?① The languages are concrete and living.② The stories are carefullyand vividly described.③ The plots are romantic and twisting.④ The works are easy to understand.A. ①②③B. ②③④C. ①③④D.①②④45. John Bunyan wrote the book The Pil grim’s Progress in order to ______.A. advise people to obey religious principles for salvationB. tell people that life is a simple and familiar journeyC. add spiritual significance to the commonplace detailsD. to combine the strange things with the familiar things46. What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?A. Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.B. Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.C. People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvationD. People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.DForbes set out to determine which master’s degrees would provide the best long-term opportunities, based on salary and employment outlook. To find the mid-career average pay for 35 popular degrees, we turned to Payscale , which lets users compare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles. We then looked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ employ ment estimate data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree. Finally we averaged each degree’s pay rank and estimated(评估) growth rank to find the best and worst master’s degre es for jobs.Physician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes’ third-annual look at the best master’s degrees for jobs. Physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctors.“Both an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services,〞says Katie Bardaro, Payscale’s lead economist.They don’t earn as much as doctors, but their mid-career average pay is $97,000. Another advantage of a physician assistant degree: Employment opportunities areexpected to grow 30% by 2020 (from the 2010 employment numbers), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.By our count, computer science follows close behind as the No. 2 best advanced degree for jobs. Mid-career average pay for these grads is $109,000, sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey. Employment opportunities for computer science degree-holders are expected to expand about 22% between 2010 and 2020. Electrical engineering, physics and economics degrees also make the top 10, all with an average mid-career salary of more than $110,000 a year.Not all master’s degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects(前景) or extraordinary pay. Biology, chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the list—but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. If you’re enthusiastic about these fields, the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldn’t prevent you from pursuing a master’s.Before you make a decision, you should bear one thing in mind: master’s degree-holders don’t necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobs—so don’t base your decision to pursue one on the idea that you’ll bring in bigger paychecks.It’s also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the common jobs associated with these degrees. “You need to consider overall happiness,〞Bardaro says. “If obtaining a master’s degree causes an imbalance due to time devoted to education and potentially more stress at work, then one will need to decide if these costs are worth it.〞47. Forbes turned to Payscale to __________.A. let users compare their salaries with those of other people in different jobsB. see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020C. sum up the pay of those graduates with 35 popular degrees in different fieldsD. figure out the mid-career average pay in popular jobs held by people with different degree48. Physician assistant degree ranks first on the list because __________.A. Physician assistants are medical professionals.B. Physician assistants enjoy the highest pay compared with other grads.C. The qualifications of physician assistants are not second to those of doctors.D. The demand of physician assistants is expected to expand largely and they are well-paid.49. What can be inferred from the passage?A. $100,000 is a satisfying pay for most of the grads.B. It is the first time that Forbes has done a survey of this kind.C. Biology degrees were once hot for tho se master’s degree pursuers.D. Doctors earn more than those in electrical engineering on the average.50. According to what Bardaro said in the last paragraph, we may safely conclude that __________.A. obtaining a master’s degree is a mustB. a master’s degree is not always worth pursuingC. obtaining a master’s degree leads to an imbalance between work and lifeD. those with master’s degrees are bound to earn more than other people in similar jobs四、任务型阅读Naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycleMelatonin(褪黑激素) is a naturally occurring hormone(激素) that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin production is controlled by light exposure. Your brain should produce more in the evening, when it's dark, to make you sleepy, and less during the day when it's light and you want to stay awake. However, many aspects of modern life can disturb your body's natural production of melatonin and your sleep-wake cycle.Spending long days in an office away from natural light, for example, can impact your daytime wakefulness and make your brain sleepy. Then bright lights at night —especially from hours spent in front of the TV or computer screen—can hold back your body's production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep, However, there are ways for you to naturally regulateyour sleep-wake cycle, improve your body's production of melatonin, and keep your brain on ahealthy schedule.Increase light exposure during the day☆Remove your sunglasses in the morning and let light onto your face.☆Spend more time outside during daylight. Try to take your work breaks outside in sun light, exercise outside, or walk your dog during the day instead of at night. ☆Let as much light into your home/workspace as possible. Keep curtains and blinds open during the day, move your desk closer to the window.☆If necessary, use a light treatment box. A light treatment box can create sunshine and can be especially useful during short winter days when there's limited daylight.Improve melatonin production at night☆Turn off your television and computer. Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day. Not only does the light hold back melatoninproduction, but television can actually excite the mind, rather than relaxing it. Try listening to music or audio books, or practicing relaxation exercises. If your favorite TV show is on late at night, record it for viewing earlier in the day. ☆Don't read from a backlit device at night (such as an iPad). Ifyou use a portable electronic device to read, use an eReader that is not backlit, i. e. one that requires an additional light source such as a bedside lamp.☆Change your light bulbs. Avoid bright lights before bed, use low-wattage bulbs instead.☆When it's time to sleep, make sure the room is dark. The darker it is, the better you'll sleep. Cover electrical displays, use heavy curtains or shades to block light from windows, or try an eye mask to cover your eyes.☆ Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night. As long as it's safe to do so, keep the light to a minimum so it will be easier to go back to sleep.单项选择1-5ADABC 6-10ADCDB 11-15DDCBC完形填空16-20BDBAC 21-25 DBACD 26-30 CBADB 31-35ACBAD阅读理解36-40 BCCAD 41-45 BDCDA 46-50 CDDAB任务型阅读51.occurs 52. while 53.Disturbing 54.keeping 55.Approaches 56.Take 57.sit 58.especially 59.instead 60.Avoid。

高三英语限时训练(六)阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) 完成时间:40分钟阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
AThe early 1900s were very different from today.Toys,though they have evolved in many ways,were still the delight of children everywhere.Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear”. In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide,and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel,motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was A.C.Gilbert,a medical doctor.Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.The following year,an architect's son named John Lloyd Wright,invented Lincoln Logs,which were interlocked to make structures.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created,stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.The yo-yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929.The View-Master,a three dimensional viewer,was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3-D images from Disney movies and television programs.Finally,in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military,but later caught on as a toy.The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isn't it interesting to know that if it hadn't been for all these creative people,most of the games you know today would never have been?26.Why were toy bears named “Teddy”?A.To be suitable for mass production. B.To be easily pronounced by children.C.To meet the advertisers' needs. D.To memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.27.In which aspect do the toys created by Gilbert differ from those by Charles?A.Shape. B.Material used. C.Themes. D.Price.28.When did the View-Master become popular?A.After William Gruber was born. B.After Gruber licensed Disney characters.C.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created. D.When Disney merchandise was started.29.From the last paragraph we can learn that________.A.those people who created these games should never be forgottenB.some toys created in ancient times now disappearC.creativity exists in every field all the timeD.toys nowadays are totally different from those in ancient times30.What does the passage talk about?A.The function of toys. B.The history of Disney characters.C.Toys in the early 1900s. D.The financial meaning of toys.B“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.31.It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.A.objective B.costly C.unreliable D.illegal32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B.New products are more likely to be questionable.C.The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D.The promoters usually just care about profits.33.FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.A.if it is a drug B.if it is a deviceC.if its consumers make complaintsD.if its distributors challenge FDA's authority34.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.A.a product which was designed to produce electricityB.a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC.a successful advertisement of a beauty productD.an example of a quality beauty product35.The author intends to________.A.make consumers aware of the promoters' false promisesB.show the weakness of the law on product safetyC.give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD.introduce the organization of FDAC“A very disruptive(制造混乱的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,”said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents' wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation,it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school,even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough,but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table,and unable to use the lavatory properly.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families_living_separate_lives_under_one_roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep,has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough.

The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Patent documents for the design describe it as notches(刻痕)“formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones”.There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土机)before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph,but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,”wrote one Japanese blogger.“Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph[20 km/h]has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”41.According to the passage,melody roads use________to create different notes.A.cars B.grooves C.spaces between intervals D.bulldozers42.We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on________.A.how far the grooves are B.how big the grooves areC.the number of the grooves D.the speed of the car43.The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean________.A.fastest B.possible C.best D.suitable44.In order to hear the music well,you have to________.A.drive very fast B.drive slowlyC.open the windows wide D.keep the windows closed45.What's the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of Music B.Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road Surface D.A New Invention in Japan答案::A26.D细节理解题。
