A（2015年吉林长春⾼三新起点调研考试英语试卷）In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the fl avor of blue!I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. W here is the blue food? ”Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour.Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching - green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?21. George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to _______.A. show the author’s opinionB. introduce a TV showC. tell a famous personD. lead in the topic22. Which of the following statements of blue is true?A. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.B. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.23. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because _______.A. our taste experience can be influenced by colorB. red-colored food are 20% sweeter than green foodC. people prefer red-colored food to green foodD. before eating, people watch food for a long time24. The underlined words “is dyed” in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to “_______”.A. is eaten upB. has grown upC. is changed in colorD. is harmful toB（2015?⽢肃省部分普通⾼中⾼三2⽉第⼀次联考）A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to launch a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim the receivers can be shrunk to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US military, which invented GPS technology, signed a contract last month agreeing to a large-scale test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.As for the Locata’s accuracy, Christopher Morin of the US Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18 centimeters along any axis(轴). Morin says it should be possible to get the resolution down to 5 centimeters. Admittedly, the tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also works beautifully, but its signals are weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily blocked by solid objects. “Locata’s signal is far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a co mplex urban environment,” says David Last, consultant to the UK’s General Lighthouse Authorities.“Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas,”Gambale says. “Robots with Locat a could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical systems they need at the moment. And process that handle precise location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. The units small and cheap enough for smart phones should be available within five years— a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards world domination.”25. The passage is written mainly to .A. encourage people to buy the LocataB. tell us the disadvantage of the GPSC. introduce a new positioning system LocataD. tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day26. Which of the following is not true about Locata according to Paragraph 2?A. Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.B. The US military has to test it before using it.C. Locata has a better signal than GPS.D. Locata can be fixed into smart phones only.27. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?A. accuracyB. speedC. determinationD. length28. According to the passage, what can we know about Gambale?A. He did the experiment at White Sands.B. He is confident in Locata and think highly of it.C. He said that Locata could not work in a complex urban environment.D. He is worried about the competition that Locata faces.C（江西省重点中学盟校2015届⾼三第⼀次⼗校联考）How do you celebrate New Year’s Day? If I had to take a guess, you probably celebrate New Year’s Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drinks of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop. If you’re particularly lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special someone when the clock hits 00:00am.Have you ever imagined how New Year’s Day would look in another country? Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door——DenmarkA strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door. Strangely, this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large amount of loyal friends.2. Talking to Spirits——MexicoTalking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is a legal Mexican practice. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka Dots ——PhilippinesImagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped foodand fruits on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Year’s Eve every year. Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow（稻草⼈）Dummy——EcuadorEcuador has a unique custom of crafting scarecrows and then burning them at midnight. They adorn them and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their own scarecrow. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.5. Mistletoe（槲寄⽣）Leaves Are Placed Under Pillow to Find Husband——IrelandThe single women of Ireland wait desperately for New Year’s Eve because it is the night that can bring them the love of their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.The world is a large and very different place. Yes, people of all nations may celebrate New Year’s much differently around the world, with different traditions, but there are a lot of general themes to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.29. When New Year’s Day is coming, people always celebrate it in many ways EXCEPT __________.A. sharing the time with their loversB. getting together with their familiesC. setting the ball dropD. enjoying drinks with their friends30. What can you learn when you are paying a visiting to Mexico during New Year’s Day?A. It’s commonly believed that the dead have spirits and souls l iving around.B. It’s New Year’s Day that Mexicans consider the best time to talk to spirits.C. You’d better talk to your ancestors just at home secretly, or you’ll break the law.D. You can ask for help free when you want to talk to the dead.31. The single women of Ireland always ________ hoping to catch their future husband on New Year’s Eve.A. wear polka dotsB. burn scarecrow dummyC. break dishes on neighbor’s doorD. place mistletoe leaves u nder their pillow32. What can you conclude according to the passage?A. No matter how we celebrate New Year, we have the only theme----increasing our wealth.B. Celebrating New Year’s Day means looking forward to a happier and better coming year.C. It’s seldom to see different traditions to celebrate New Year.D. The traditions will be changed with the time going by.D（2015?江苏省南通市第⼀次调研测试）Dive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages.

ASometimes people come into your life and they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be—a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger—but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound (深刻的) way.Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection (反思中) you find that without overcoming those obstacles(障碍) you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, lost moments of true greatness, and pure stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones. If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.___________________. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say. Let yourself fall in love, break free (冲破藩篱), and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.26. In the first paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that ___________.A. we are bound to be affected by your friendsB. we should love everyone we meet in the lifeC. it’s impossible for us to know in advance who can help usD. we can’t become who we want to be without others’ help27. The author may agree that ____________.A. sometimes things may happen because of luckB. with tests in life, we shape our personalitiesC. we should n’t let other people affect usD. life with those small tests can be dull28. If someone betrays and hurts you, you should ___________.A. just let it goB. forgive and learn from the lessonC. teach them how to loveD. give them a lesson29. Which sentence in the following is probably the beginning of paragraph 4?A. Make every day countB. Walk you own roadC. Listen to others modestlyD. Keep optimistic whatever happens30. What’s the best title of this passage?A. How to face obstacles.B. Love those around youC. Learn to forget and forgiveD. Creating Your Own LifeCAn indoor house cat, who got lost on a family outing, managed to come back to her home town after traveling about 200 miles over two months.―It is unbelievable that Holly found her way home for herself. It’s really a riddle. Her pads(肉趾) on her feet were bleeding,‖ Her owner Ms Richter said. ―Her claws (爪子) are worn down. Her front ones are really sharp, but her back ones are worn down to nothing.‖ Even scientists are also baffled by how Holly, a 4-year-old cat, who became separated from her owners Jacob and Bonnie Richter in Daytona Beach, Florida, in early November, actually appeared on New Year’s Eve after two months. At that time, Holly was seen playing in a family’s backyard about a mile from the Richters’ house in West Palm Beach. She was weak and exhausted.―Are you sure it’s the same cat?‖ John Bradshaw, director of the Anthrozoology Institute at the University of Bristol in England, asked the New York Times. But Holly not only wears unique black-and-brown fur but also has an implanted microchip to identify her.Dr. Bradshaw thinks Holly may have gotten a lift, and perhaps hid in a corner of a truck heading down Florida’s I-95. However, the condition of her paws suggests Holly didn’t get a rideduring her way home, nor did she travel easily.Scientists say it is more common, although still rare, to hear of dogs returning home. Dr. Bradshaw said that dogs may have acquired their genetic relative wolves’ ability to distinguish special clues. But it is also possible that dogs get taken on more family trips, and that lost dogs are more easily noticed by people along the way, scientists say. Cats, on the other hand, typically act as good guides around familiar landscapes, memorizing sign posts and locations by sight and smell, Dr. Bradshaw told the New York Times. However, there is little scientific knowledge about a cat guide.31. What happened to Holly?A. She was forced to go on an exciting trip.B. She was hidden in the Richters’ backyard.C. She was abandoned out by her owners in early November.D. She returned home alone after two months’ disappearance.32. The underlined word ―baffled‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______________.A. movedB. confusedC. attractedD. inspired33. What’s John Br adshaw’s attitude towards Holly’s returning home alone?A. Doubtful.B. Sympathetic.C. Admirable.D. Satisfied.34. The main idea of the last paragraph is ________ .A. what the relation is among dogs, cats and wolvesB. that some examples of asking ways are so usefulC. that it’s different for cats and dogs to tell waysD. how we can learn to analyze cause and effect35. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?A. None really knows how Holly returned home.B. It’s hard to explain how Holly returned home.C. Holly didn’t travel easily during her way home.D. Cats and dogs tell locations by sight and smell.CI recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (抓不住) on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents allover the kitchen floor -- a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work," we usually learn something valuable from it.Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert's mother responded to him?36. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce great achievements of Stephen GlennB. To define what is the true meaning of creativityC. To arouse reader’s interest in continuing readingD. To inspire the readers to be more creative37. Seeing the milk spilt on the kitchen floor, Stephen Glenn’s mother __________.A. punished him in a wonderful wayB. decided to dance in the milk with Stephen GlennC. asked Stephen Glenn to clean it up immediatelyD. asked Stephen Glenn to play in the milk for a while38. According to the passage, Stephen Glenn’s mother can be described as __________.A. kind-heartedB. naughty and creativeC. wise and patientD. ridiculous and silly39. What did Stephen Glenn learn from the experience as a boy?A. The best way to take bottles.B. There is no need to be afraid of mistakesC. How to do experiments as a scientistD. Being creative plays an important role in experiments40. What is the passage mainly about?A. A brief introduction of Stephen Glenn.B. Ways to do experiment on science.C. The secret of Stephen Glenn’s success.D. Importance of family education.DThough most of us spend a lifetime pursuing (追求) happiness, new research is showing that that goal may be largely out of our control. Two new studies this month add to a growing body of evidence that factors like genes and age may impact our general well-being more than our best day-to-day attempts at joyIn one study, researchers at the University of Edinburgh suggest that genes account for about 50% of the variation in people's levels of happiness —the underlying determinant being genetically determined personality traits, like ―being sociable, active, stable, hardworking and conscientious,‖ says co-author Timothy Bates. What's more, says Bates, these happiness traits generally come as a package, so that if you have one you're likely to have them all.Bates and his Edinburgh colleagues drew their conclusions after looking at survey data of 973 pairs of adult twins. They found that, on average, a pair of identical twins shared more personality traits than a pair of non-identical twins. And when asked how happy they were, the identical twin pairs responded much more similarly than other twins, suggesting that both happiness and personality have a strong genetic component. The study, published in Psychological Science, went one step further: it suggested that personality and happiness do not merely coexist, but that in fact born personality traits cause happiness. Twins who had similar scores in key traits — extroversion (外向性), calmness and conscientiousness (责任感), for example — had similar happiness scores; once those traits were accounted for, however, the similarity in twins' happiness scores disappeared.Another larger study, released in January ahead of its publication in Social Science & Medicine this month, shows that whatever people's individual happiness levels, we all tend to fall into a larger, cross-cultural and global pattern of joy. According to survey data representing 2 million people in more than 70 countries, happiness typically follows a U-shaped curve (曲线): among people in their mid-40s and younger, happiness trends downward with age, then climbs back up among older people. (That shift doesn't necessarily hold for the very old with severe health problems.) Across the world, people in their 40s generally claim to be less happy than those who are younger or older, and theglobal happiness nadir appears to hit somewhere around 44.41.
