AIf you are a college student, probably you are greatly stressed when the final exams are coming. University students are good at coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week (December 4-6)The National Post reports that for three days during finals week, students at Dalousie University can spend some time with lovely dogs, which is being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada. ?It is something that people need right now because students are superstressed,? Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told me the Post. After the student union first advertised the event on its Face book page, the news of the Puppy Room spread quickly across social networking sites. ?Our expectations are pretty high right now,? Gavin Jardine, vice president of student life at Dalhousie told the Post. ?We had 1800 shares, thousands of ‘likes’. It attracted a lot of attention on Twitter as well. It spread as quickly as a virus.?Don LeBlance of Therapeutc Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on handto interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room. And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlance says a half dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to reduce the stress of busy college students? ?If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you will find out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure,?LeBlanc said. ?It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog.?1 What is Michael Kean’s attitude toward the puppy room?A. He thinks it is bad for dogs.B. He doesn’t think it is relaxing.C. He thinks it is a waste of time.D. He thinks it works for college students.2 Paragraph3 shows the idea of the puppy room was___________.A. surprisingB. harmfulC. well receivedD. inspiring3 We know from Paragraph4 that some universities want to ____________.A. find out if their students are also stressedB. follow the example of the college in CanadaC. find out why dogs are loved by college studentsD. introduce some dogs from the college in Canada4 What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppies have become very popular with college students.B. College students have more ways of relaxing than before.C. A college is offering more ways of entertainment for students.D. A college is offering a puppy room for stressed college students. B。
2016～2017学年第一学期高三第四次模拟考试英语试题第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMarlene Dietrich is finally to be honored by her home city, Berlin.For more than half a century, the famous film star won huge fame in Hollywood, but remained a highly controversial（引起争议的）figure in Germany.When the city’s new film museum is opened on September 26, three of its 15 rooms will show the star’s po ssessions collected over a lifetime.In addition to various collections by Marlene, visitors will be able to see all Marlene Dietrich’s movies. There will also be key except for a vast range of Germany-made films.Dietrich became a world star after her wonderful performance in a movie. After that, she turned her back on Germany, horrified by the sudden movement of Nazi in her hometown.A few years after the war, the star was persuaded to pay a short visit to Berlin. But the trip proved a disaster. At a city hall gathering in West Berlin, crowds turned out to see her, but not all friendly.She was attacked at times. She found herself being blamed for wearing an American uniform during the war to please U.S. troops in Europe. She was also scolded for “turning her back on the countr y”.Dietrich, deeply hurt, decided she would never return to Berlin again. But she softened her judgment.When she died in Paris in 1972, it was at her express wish that her body should besent back to Berlin for burial alongside her mother in a local cemetery.1. From the second paragraph, we can get to know that_______.A. Germans were narrowed-mindedB. Germans were difficult to get along withC. all Germans admired DietrichD. some Germans disliked Dietrich2. The underlined sentence “she turned her back on Germany” (in paragraph 5) means_______.A. Dietrich looked down upon her countryB. Dietrich turned away from her countryC. Dietrich gave up performance in her countryD. Dietrich lost her job in her country3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Visitors can see various collections by Marlene in Berlin’s new film museum.B. Dietrich was a famous film star in Hollywood.C. After the war, Dietrich paid a short visit to her country.D. Wearing an Australian uniform during the war, Dietrich was regarded a betrayer(背叛者) to her country.4. The famous film star, as a whole, ________.A. hated her country because she was once scolded for betraying Germany.B. enjoyed her life in FranceC. loved her country from her heartD. felt satisfied with her performanceBA mother’s loveI’M a New York City firefighter. Every day, I see terror – sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett wa s different. That day I saw life. And love.We were responding to a call abou t a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop – I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt.At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing(猫叫) to a spot on the sidewalk near the front of the garage. There, crying and huddled(挤作一团) together, were five terrified kittens. They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly singed(烫烧).I left the five kittens in a box on a neighbo r’s porch(门廊).I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one – unbelievable.We finally found her. She was badly burnt: her eyes were blistered (起水泡), her paws(爪子) were blackened, and her fur was singed all over. You could even see her reddened skin beneath the burned fur. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear.I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.The vet told me they would observe the kittens and their mother overnight, but they weren’t optimistic about the mother’s changes.About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.Knowing what Scarlett endured(忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times – and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.As a firefighter, I see heroism(英雄事迹) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author went to rescue the cats as soon as he heard them crying.B. The firefighters put out the big fire quickly and no one was hurt.C. The mother cat moved all of her five babies to a safer place despite the fire.D. The author didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.6. Why was the author determined to save the cats?A. He refused to watch someone else die in his work.B. He was impressed by the mother’s strong love and courage.C. The cat’s story had made many people concerned.D. It had taken much time and effort for him to save them.7. Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?A. ObjectiveB. Admiring.C. Excited.D. Optimistic.CFighting racial stereotypes（模式化）on US campuses often begins by putting students of different ethnic backgrounds together –under one dormitory roof. Sam Boakye was a freshman at Ohio State University and the only black student on his floor. He was determined to get good grades –in part to make sure his white roommate had no basis for negative racial views. "You're pushed to do better, to challenge the stereotype that black people are not that smart," he told the New York Times.Several recent studies have found that having a roommate of a different ra ce can reduce prejudice(偏见), diversify(使多样化)friendships and even promote students’academic performance. In a study by Ohio State psychology professor Russell Fazio, black freshmen who came to college with high test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate—even if the roommate’s test scores were low. Another study on student interaction by Duke University suggests that freshmen with roommates of a different race were the most likely to diversify their friendships. “Just having diversity in classrooms doesn’t do anything to increase interracial friendships,”said Claudia Buchman, an author of the Duke study. “But living together with a different-race roommate does lead to more interracial friendships.”There are, however, some problems with such room assignments. Fazio’s study found that three times as many randomly(随机地) assigned interracial roommates weren’t living together at the end of the semester, compared with white roommates. Interracial roommates also spent less time together, had fewer joint acti vities and were lessinvolved with each other’s friends than white pairs.As for Boakye, this is not the case. “A lot of white students come without much exposure（暴露）to diversity, so when their first interaction with a black guy isn’t bad, they will make more black friends. I think I made a good impression on my freshman roommate. I saw him this year, and he said, ‘Hey dude, you’re not the only black friend I have.’ Th at felt good.”8. Having a roommate of a different race can have the following benefits EXCEPT________ .A. making more friendsB. reducing prejudiceC. earning better gradesD. improving physical health9. Sam Boakye was determined to get good grades partly because________.A. he wanted to prove he was a smart boyB. he intended to please his parentsC. he wished to earn the scholarshipD. he wanted to show black people are as smart as white people10. We can conclude that Boakye________.A. got along well with his white roommateB. shared fewer joint activities with his white roommateC. had a negative attitude towards his white roommateD. is still living together with his freshman white roommate11. The 4th paragraph is mainly about________.A. the interracial friendshipB. some problems with having an interracial roommateC. some comments on the interracial roommatesD. the interaction between the black student and the white studentDScientists found that sleeping considerably improves our creativity. After taking a nap people are able to think faster and put more imagination into their thinking. Besides, if we dream, the thinking abilities are improved even more.Researchers consider that sleeping on a problem in most cases leads to elucidation(解释). They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) during sleep, it increases the effect. Such phase takes place right before we awake and according to scientists it helps our brain make links between unrelated subjects.In the study, led by Professor Sara Mednick, scientists made a conclusion that the REM was “important for assimilating(消化)new information into past experience” in order to find solutions to creative problems.Prof. Mednick is a psychiatrist at the University of California. Her study involved the analysis of 77 adults. Each participant was given several word-associated creative tasks. All tasks were given in the morning, with participants being shown a number of groups of 3 words, for example: cookie, heart and sixteen. They were asked to come up with a word that would be associated with all three given terms—like sweet. Sometime later, after some participants were allowed to sleep, they were asked to perform the same tasks and some new ones. It is worth mentioning that while some people slept, researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant entered.When given the same tasks, participants, who took a nap, were able to give more varied solutions, some of which were much better than they gave earlier. But when given new tasks, researchers found that those who entered REM sleep had a 40 percent better result compared to the performance they showed in the morning.12. What does “it” refer to in the second paragraph?A. The effect.B. REM.C. Sleep.D. A problem.13. Why do the researchers study the REM?A. Because REM takes place just after you sleep.B. Because REM can store more information.C. Because REM can help find creative solutions.D. Because REM can makea creative invention.14. What can we know from this passage?A. Taking a short nap is good for your thinking during the day.B. Sleeping has three processes which is good for creativity.C. Each adult was allowed to sleep after the task was given.D. REM is a process taking place right after we awake when we nap.15. The important stage in the study is________.A. to think of a creative wordB. to show a group of 3 wordsC. to give participants time to thinkD. to let some participants sleep for a while第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2017年高考(283)贵州省贵阳一中2017届高三第四次适应性考试2017年高考(283)贵州省贵阳一中2017届高三第四次适应性考试贵州省贵阳市第一中学2017届高三上学期第四次适应性考试语文试题第I卷阅读题（70分）一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）论述类文本阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题。
（二）实用类文本阅读（14分）阅读下面文字，完成4-6题余世存：为什么这么多人敬佩卢作孚？我们当代中国人对现代历史有诸多想当然的理解，比如现代历史有一种混乱的自由，因此个人创业较现在容易得多，那是冒险家的乐园、投机投资的天堂，好像人们白手起家即可轻松地发家致富；还比如人们误解前贤即民国人物不善于、不懂得生活，似乎他们都是清教徒式的人物；又比如人们承认民国人物的精神风貌较当代要向上一些，但究竟民国人物的生命完善达到什么程度，今人是很难想象，也不愿相信的。
这些想当然，集中在卢作孚身上，最为典型。
卢作孚出生在四川的一个普通农民家庭。
他自学成才，20来岁开始办报，31岁时在军阀杨森的支持下创立四川通俗教育馆，32岁时向实业。
卢作孚以八千元开始创办民生轮船公司，但这种创业绝非我们现在以为的那样容易。
在当时，长江上的航运是由外国人瓜分的，外资财大气粗。
卢作孚靠乡亲、朋友、地方绅士的支持，才募集了一点资金购置了一条仅七十余吨的小客船。
这种艰难的起步或说夹缝里的生存大概是我们能够想象的，但我们想象不出的是卢作孚坚持下来，而且成功了。
几年后，卢作孚统一川江航运，迫使外企退出长江上游。
十年后，相继在上海、南京、武汉、宜昌等地设立分公司。
他从只有一艘七十余吨的客船发展到拥有一百三十多艘的三万六千余吨的船队，职工则有七千余人，成为名副其实的船王。
卢作孚又确实是清廉的，他几乎是清教徒人格的典范。
他克勤克俭，严于律己，虽身为民生公司总经理，其股份却只有一股，全家仅靠工资度日，其夫人子女乘坐民生公司轮船一律按规定买票。

They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly singed(烫烧).I left the fi ve kittens in a box on a neighbor’s porch(门廊).I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out allof her babies, one by one – unbelievable.We finally found her. She was badly burnt: her eyes were blistered (起水泡), her paws(爪子) were blackened, and her fur was singed all over. You could even see her reddened skin beneath the burned fur. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.The vet told me they would observe the kittens and their mother overnight, but they weren’t optimistic about the mother’s changes.About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.Knowing what Scarlett endured(忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times – and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.As a firefighter, I see heroism(英雄事迹) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can o nly come from a mother’s love.5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author went to rescue the cats as soon as he heard them crying.B. The firefighters put out the big fire quickly and no one was hurt.C. The mother cat moved all of her five babies to a safer place despite the fire.D. The author didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.6. Why was the author determined to save the cats?A. He refused to watch someone else die in his work.B. H e was impressed by the mother’s strong love and courage.C. The cat’s story had made many people concerned.D. It had taken much time and effort for him to save them.7. Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?A. ObjectiveB. Admiring.C. Excited.D. Optimistic.CFighting racial stereotypes（模式化）on US campuses often begins by putting students of differentethnic backgrounds together – under one dormitory roof.Sam Boakye was a freshman at Ohio State University and the only black student on his floor. He was determined to get good grades – in part to make sure his white roommate had no basis for negative racial views. "You're pushed to do better, to challenge the stereotype that black people are not that smart," he told the New York Times.Several recent studies have found that having a roommate of a different race can reduce prejudice(偏见), diversify(使多样化)friendships and even promote students’ academic performance. In a study by Ohio State psychology professor Russell Fazio, black freshmen who came to college with high test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate—even if the roommate’s test scores were low. Another study on student interaction by Duke University suggests that freshmen with roommates of a different race were the most likely to diversify their friendships. “Just having diversity in classrooms doesn’t do anything to increase interracial friendships,”said Claudia Buchman, an author of the Duke study. “But living together with a different-race roommate does lead to more interracial friendships.”There are, however, some problems with such room assignments. Fazio’s study found that three times as many randomly(随机地) assigned interracial roommates weren’t living together at the end of the semester, compared with white roommates. Interracial roommates also spent less time together, had fewer joint activities and were less involved with each other’s friends than white pairs.As for Boakye, this is not the case. “A lot o f white students come without much exposure（暴露）to diversity, so when their first interaction with a black guy isn’t bad, they will make more black friends. I think I made a good impression on my freshman roommate. I saw him this year, and he said, ‘Hey dud e, you’re not the only black friend I have.’ That felt good.”8. Having a roommate of a different race can have the following benefits EXCEPT________ .A. making more friendsB. reducing prejudiceC. earning better gradesD. improving physical health9. Sam Boakye was determined to get good grades partly because________.A. he wanted to prove he was a smart boyB. he intended to please his parentsC. he wished to earn the scholarshipD. he wanted to show black people are as smart as white people10. We can conclude that Boakye________.A. got along well with his white roommateB. shared fewer joint activities with his white roommateC. had a negative attitude towards his white roommateD. is still living together with his freshman white roommate11. The 4th paragraph is mainly about________.A. the interracial friendshipB. some problems with having an interracial roommateC. some comments on the interracial roommatesD. the interaction between the black student and the white studentDScientists found that sleeping considerably improves our creativity. After taking a nap people are able to think faster and put more imagination into their thinking. Besides, if we dream, the thinking abilities are improved even more.Researchers consider that sleeping on a problem in most cases leads to elucidation(解释). They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) during sleep, it increases the effect. Such phase takes place right before we awake and according to scientists it helps our brain make links between unrelated subjects.In the study, led by Professor Sara Mednick, scientists made a conclusion that the REM was “important for assimilating(消化)new info rmation into past experience” in order to find solutions to creative problems.Prof. Mednick is a psychiatrist at the University of California. Her study involved the analysis of 77 adults. Each participant was given several word-associated creative tasks. All tasks were given in the morning, with participants being shown a number of groups of 3 words, for example: cookie, heart and sixteen. They were asked to come up with a word that would be associated with all three given terms—like sweet. Sometime later, after some participants were allowed to sleep, they were asked to perform the same tasks and some new ones. It is worth mentioning that while some people slept, researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant entered.When given the same tasks, participants, who took a nap, were able to give more varied solutions, some of which were much better than they gave earlier. But when given new tasks, researchers found that those who entered REM sleep had a 40 percent better result compared to the performance they showed in the morning.12. What does “it” refer to in the second paragraph?A. The effect.B. REM.C. Sleep.D. A problem.13. Why do the researchers study the REM?A. Because REM takes place just after you sleep.B. Because REM can store more information.C. Because REM can help find creative solutions.D. Because REM can make a creative invention.14. What can we know from this passage?A. Taking a short nap is good for your thinking during the day.B. Sleeping has three processes which is good for creativity.C. Each adult was allowed to sleep after the task was given.D. REM is a process taking place right after we awake when we nap.15. The important stage in the study is________.A. to think of a creative wordB. to show a group of 3 wordsC. to give participants time to thinkD. to let some participants sleep for a while第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFiguring out ways to helpAs a 16-year-old American student at Colorado SpringsSchool, Michael Gohde, sees the world this way—as writing a computer program, the most complex outcome is really only a collection of simple elements—simple ideas, simple acts—that build on one another.When he was 7, he was confused about why there were homeless peop le sleeping on the streets. He asked his mother why. “They need ou r help,”said Betsy deVries-Gohde, doing her best to explain their situation to her son. After that, Michael saved enough money to buy bottled water and sandwiches to distribute to the needy.When a family friend was diagnosed with cancer last summer, Michae l and his parents purchased a pre-made carepackage – a collection of products and comfort items especially tail ored for patients going through cancer treatment.After his grandmother went through chemotherapy （化疗）for lymphoma (淋巴瘤), Michael asked his mom what things would make his grandma feel better. She suggested a care package.On Dec 18, after Michael finished his last exam, he headed hometo finish packing about 30 gift bags. The next day, he and his mom visited a nearby cancer center to hand out the care packages.“I had a job and extra money, so I figured, let’s do this,”Michael said. The teenager has a part-time job working20 hours a week, helping to write Android mobile applications.At Rocky Mountain Cancer Center, Mary Matykiewicz held her new soc ks and thanked “the very nice young man”who’d given them to her.“You wouldn’t think kids wouldrecognize the need, but they tend to surprise you,”said Jayme Stangier, a patient at the center.Betsy deVries-Gohde, whose mother died of pancreatic cancer in 1999, wasmoved by her son’s compassion. “These people are so te nder now wit h what they’re going through. It feels so good to me to know that he cares,”she said. “Teenagers have their ups and downs, but Mi chael, he’s pretty steady.”21. The underlined word “distribute”probably means ______.A. broughtB. adoptedC. adaptedD. gathereddid Michael Gohde do to help cancer patients?A. He volunteered to take care of them at the Cancer Center.B. He gifted them care packages, bought with his own money.C. He wrote mobile apps to find the treatments for them.D. He brought them gifts to surprise them.23. What can we infer from the article?A. Michael’s way of viewing the world was partly related to his part-time job.B. Michael’s mother took pride in her son’s willingness to help those in need.C. Michael often went to Rocky Mountain Cancer Center to help look after cancer patients.D. It was his grandmother’s sufferingfrom cancer that led Michael to care a lot about cancer patients.4. Which of the following best describes Michael Gohde?A. Well-educated.B. Dutiful.C. Warm-hearted.D. Generous.BHe has the coolest hair, and he is so funny. Every time you see him, you feel shy and embarrassed.You don’t even know her, but you feel nervous whenever you see her and when she looks at you, you just smile like an idiot.If a girl or a boy is making you feel this way, it sounds like you have a crush(爱恋).Nothing your first crush is an exciting time. Sometimes , feelings for a crush can be confusing because they’re new to you. If you feel awkward around your crush, you’re not al one. That’s how most people feel. Some people are even speechless when they see their crush. It can be hard to control how you feel, but the rules of good behavior still apply. If your crush doesn’t want to talk with you or it seems like you’re making the person uncomfortable, it’s time to back off. Likewise, never let anyone behave in a way that makes you feel funny or uncomfortable.When you develop special feelings toward someone, you might want to talk with friends about it, but sometimes kids tease(取笑) other kids about crushes. Getting teased is never fun, so if you need someone to talk with about a crush, a parent can be a good choice. They were kids once, too, and they know what it’s like. Maybe they’ll tell you about their own first crush!When you have a crush on someone and you find out that he or she likes you, too, it’s a wonderful feeling. But sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. You might feel sad, disappointed, and rejected . If you feel heartbreak, those feelings can last for a while, but t hey will fade. And, try to be kind if you’re on theother end of a crush—when someone likes you. It’s a compliment when someone thinks you’re special. If you don’t feel the same way, try to tell him or her in a nice way.Crushers are new and exciting, so enjoy them while they last. Someday, you’ll be telling your own kids about your first crush!25. When you see your crush, you may feel .A. embarrassedB. uncomfortableC. teasedD. disappointed26. Talking with parents about your crush is a good way because .A. they will tell you their own experienceB. they are the people who always laugh at youC. they were in your shoes beforeD. they know what teasing is like27. Which question does Paragraph 6 offer an answer to?A. What if someone breaks my heart?B. If I have a crush , what should I do?C. What does it feel like to have a crush?D. Why do I have a crush?28. Where does this passage most probably come from?A. A science textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A psychology journal.D. A teenager advertisement.CFor most of the history, interpretation was mainly done consecutively, with speakers and interpreters making pauses to allow each other to speak. But after the appearance of radiotechnology, a new simultaneous(同时的) interpretation system was developed.In the simultaneous mode, interpreters translate a speaker’s words while he speaks without pauses. On the surface, it all looks effortless, but behind the scenes, human interpreters work continuously to ensure every idea gets across as intended, and that is no easy task.It takes about two years of training for already fluent bilingual professionals to expend their vocabulary and master the skills necessary to become conference interpreters. To get used to the unnatural task of speaking while they listen, students shadow the speakers and repeat their every word exactly as heard in the same language. In time, they begin to paraphrase what is said, making necessary adjustments as they in this way creates new neural pathways in the interpreters’brain, and th e constant effort of reformulation gradually becomes second nature. Interpreters are also skilled at keeping calm in the fact of chaos. Remember, theyhave no control over who is going to say what, of how expressive the speaker will sound. A curveball can be thrown at any time. Also, they often perform in front of thousands of people and in very thrilling settings. T o conduct a task well, they carefully prepare for an assignment, building glossaries in advance, reading eagerly about the subject matter, and reviewing previous talks on the topic. Finally, interpreters work in pairs. While one colleague is busy translating incoming speeches in real time, the other gives by locating documents, looking up words, and tracking down related information. Because simultaneous interpretation requires intense concentration, every 30 minutes, the pair switches roles. Success is heavily dependent on skillfulcollaboration.Language is complex, and when abstract concepts get lost in translation, the consequences may be deadly. As Margaret Atwood famously noted, “War is what happens when language fails.”International conference interpreters of all people are aware of that and work diligently behind the scenes to make it never does.29. What might be the best title of this passage?A. How to Be an Effortless SpeakerB. How Interpreters Manage Two LanguagesC. How to Avoid War with Successful TranslationD. How Interpreters Enlarge Their Vocabulary30. To become a skilled simultaneous interpreter, a student has to practice .A. looking effortless behind the sceneB. following and copying what the speaker saysC. changing the speaker’s words into other meaningsD. creating new neural pathways to keep calm31. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. No one knows when a ball will be thrown out.B. Unexpected events may happen at any moment.C. Interpreting is like throwing a ball.D. The speaker sometimes cannot control the interpreter.32. Why do simultaneous interpreters work in pairs?A. Because they have to build vocabulary before their task.B. Because each of them works 30 minutes and then takes a break.C. Because they have to change roles to support each other.D. Because their success depends on looking for information.DA new phone app uses vibrations(振动) from smart phones to alert people about earthquakes. The phone app recognizes sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors in smart phones. The new app is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would inform people and give them time to prepare.Smart phones are equipped with accelerometers. They measure acceleration movement of earth. Like that of a car of airplane. They can also measure the shaking of a machine, building or other structure. Accelerometers are used in activity trackers and apps that count steps or other exercise. They also are used in global positioning system apps, also called GPS.MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic(地震的) activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app right 93 percent of the time.A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several notifications from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then estimates the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude(震级) earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers of less. MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network.MyShake can add to information collected by the Geological Survey. That agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also known as the EEW. The EEW has deployed(安置) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas . In places where nosuch equipment exists, MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection.“Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to reduce the effects of earthquakes on us as individuals and on society as a whole,” say the researchers. The developers say they hope to add a feature that would warn people about a possible tsunami, or the huge waves after an earthquake.33. Which of the following is a function of accelerometers?A.
