第I卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AEP Portable HeaterWe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. no questions asked. Satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expertise and your money will be given back to you.Now, we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. if you order that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.Take action right now!21. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A. the heat of the EPB. the safety of the EPC. the appearance of the EPD. the material of the EP22. From the passage, we can learn that the EP____.A. doesn’t burn up oxygenB. runs without any noiseC. makes people get sleepyD. is unsuitable for children and pets23. The und erlined word “evenly” in paragraph 4 probably means____.A. continuouslyB. separatelyC. quicklyD. equally24. The main purpose of the passage is to____.A. persuade people to buy the productB. advise people to save on heating billsC. report the new development of portable heatersD. compare the difference of different heart brandsBThey baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地)when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.25. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell26. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects27. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.28. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.29. It can be learned from the passage that stars today____.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.31. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.32. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh.

We 18 (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, 19 for the week after. I didn’t understand 20 this would happen and my credit card had already been charged 21 the res ervation. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was 22 (surprise) helpful.

However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.26. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.27. What can we learn form the passage?A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and Music.BIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was b eautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid,who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she.A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.CLike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need ofproper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.36. What do we know about the author?A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.D. He felt honored to study English literature.37. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the authorA. Discussed his decision with his family.B. Asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. Attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. Felt sad about having to leave his family and friends38. In his application for the volunteer job, the authorA. Participated in many discussionsB. Went through challenging survival testsC. Wrote quite a few paper on voluntary workD. Faced strong competition from other candidates39. On arrival at the village, the author wasA. Asked to lead a farming teamB. Sent to teach in schoolhouseC. Received warmly by local villagersD. Arranged to live in a separate house.40.

He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home.D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.DScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident43.How did Ebesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information form beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean current models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.44. Ebesmeyer is most famous for ____________A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making recorders for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people’s attention to ocean pollutionB. To warn people of shipping safety in the oceanC. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currentsD. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach四、信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息,请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。

think I can help the elderly and the disabled as well.I feel so good when I can offer help.48.I am a film buff.A big fan of Antonio Banderas.He is so wild and charming.Because of him,I fell in love with Spain.The Latin dance and the bullfight are really exciting.Oh,if only I could stay in Spain as an exchange student!I would be learning Spanish so well that I can watch a Spanish film with the dubbing.49.I had the experience of working as a social worker in Switzerland last summer.I love the country and its people.There are great mountains for climbers and the localpeople are so nice to strangers.I helped the kids with their English.My teaching skills improved greatly during my stay.Now I'm well prepared to work as a language instructor.50.I spent my gap year traveling all over Africa last year.It was definitely an eye﹣opening experience.The exotic clothes and tribal dances of the people really fascinated me.But I was most amazed by the wildlife there.I really took great pleasure in watching those animals hunting their prey.You know,I specialize in zoology,and I'm a good

Mississippi.The money was i …me savings.She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a very simple life.She never learned to drive,and when she wanted to go somewhere,she just walked.She never flew to anywhere till the donation(捐助),and in 50years she had been out of the South only once.The house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her.Only after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country.Since then,she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited to the White House.Her donation

feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers.Then again,teenagers have (1)similar feelings about their parents,saying that it is not easy living with them.According to a recent research,the most common (2)argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks.On the one hand,parents go mad over(3)messy rooms,clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the(4)housework.On the other hand,teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for(5)dropping the towel in the bathroom,not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research,conducted by St.George University,shows that different parents have different(6)approaches to these problems.However,some approaches are more (7)successful than others.For example,those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness,but(8)later clean the room for them,have fewer chances of changing their children's(9)behavior.On the contrary,those who let teenagers experience the(10)consequences of their actions can do better.For example,when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator,they are forced to(11)reconsider their actions.Psychologists say that (12)communication is the most important thing in parent﹣child relationships.Parents should (13)talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say.Parents may(14)scold their children when they are untidy but they should also understand thattheir room is their own private space.Communication is a two﹣way process.It is only by listening to and(15)understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.1.A.natural B.strong C.guilty

came,we were ready.After our plane landed,we went to the hotel.We had made our reservation six months(17)earlier(early),but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake.We (18)were told(tell)that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week,(19)but for the week after.I didn't understand (20)why this would happen and my credit card had already been charged(21)for the reservation.What's worse,the hotel had been fully booked.When we were wondering what to do,the manager came out.She was (22)surprisingly (surprise)helpful.She apologized for the mistake and gave us a

volleyball.We got a little (25)sunburned/sunburnt (sunburn),but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind.【分析】本文是记叙文.讲述的是我和兄弟去迈阿密旅游,当到达目的地后,来到六个月前订的宾馆,却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的,且该宾馆的房间已订满,正当不知如何办时,经理出来了,将我们安排在留出来的VIP房间,且不另外收他们的钱,这真是个意外的意外.通过能够不考虑自己的利益,而设身处地地为他人着想,这是一个优良的品质.【解答】16.it 考查代词.根据在said后的宾语从句中缺主语,应填代词,指代前句中Mimami这个地方,故填it.17.earlier 考查形容词比较级.根据句子结构可知,空格处在句中作状语,依然用副词,不变词性,可考虑用比较级,由时态"had made"可知,是早在六个月前就定好了.故填earlier.18.were told 考查谓语动词.根据时态语态以及主谓一致规则的变化.由句意或tell sb sth这一句型结构可知,是"我们被告知",由上下文的时态可知,用一般过去时的被动语句态.故填were told.19.but 考查并列连词.根据固定结构"not…but…"可知,这里表示不是那个星期订的而是后一个星期订的.故填but.20.why 考查宾语从句的连接词.根据句意可知,我不知道为什么会发生这样的事.用why引导宾语从句.故填why.21.for 考介词.根据固定搭配"charge sb sth for…"可知.故填for.22.surprisingly 考查词性转换.由本句已有作表语的形容词helpful,所以应用副词来修饰形容词helpful,指"邻人惊讶地,意外地",故填"surprisingly".23.the 考查冠词.这里特指"在楼顶".24.where 考查定语从句连接词.先行词是"the beach(表地点)",定语从句中不缺主、宾、表等主要成分,应该用关系副词作状语,故填where.25.sunburned/sunburnt 考查动词变为非谓语动词.在表示"变化"的got后作表语,要用形容词.sunburn是动词,其形容词形式是sunburned或sunburnt.Ⅱ阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节阅读理解(共4小题;每小题10分,满分40分)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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.26.(10分)(2014•广东)Samuel Osmond is a 19﹣year﹣old

learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two years ago,he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around

understand why everyone is so surprised."I grew up with music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two years ago,I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note,"says Samuel.Recently,Samuel performed a piece during a

AHoli is the Hindu festival of colors. It is celebrated at the end of the winter season, on the last full moon day of the lunar month Phalguna. In 2014, Holi was celebrated on March 17.Holi is celebrated by Hindus all over the world. Holi celebrations begin on the eve of the festival with bonfires and prayers. On the day of Holi, people throw colored powder and liquids at each other. A common greeting during this time i s, “Happy Holi.”Holi celebrations are particularly wild and uncontrolled in India as social rules are relaxed. Colored water is squirted on passers-by, and people are dunked into muddy water. Many people drink bhang, a powerful wine made from a plant. Social differences are temporarily ignored and people of all ages, genders and backgrounds gather together and celebrate the festival. In fact, it is said that one can get away with almost any kind of behavior on the day of Holi by saying “don’t mind, it is H oli.” In addition to the boisterous nature of the festival, this is a time for family members to get together, give gifts, eat special foods and decorate their homes. Overall, this is one of the most spirited and beloved festivals of the Hindu calendar.The celebration of Holi is described in Hindu historical texts and stories that have passed from generation to generation. Holi commemorates the mythical story of a young boy called Prahlada, the son of the king of demons (恶魔). Unable to tolerate Prahlada’s devotion to Vishnu, a good god, his demon father attempted to kill him several times by poisoning him, throwing him from the top of a mountain, etc. but failed each time. Finally, he ordered his son to sit on a fire on the lap of his demoness sister, Holika, who was protected from the flames. Prahlada accepted his father’s command and survived unharmed from the fire while his sister was burned to death. This story is widely known throughout India, and as with most Hindu tales, it varies slightly in different parts of the country.26. The passage is written to ________.A. report the celebration of an Indian festivalB. explain why Holi is important to IndiansC. introduce a popular Indian festivalD. tell the origin of an Indian festival27. The underlined w ord “boisterous” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. colourful and crazyB. lively and energeticC. dirty and angryD. peaceful and quiet28. During the festival of Holi, people do the following EXCEPT ________.A. colour their faces and bodies and drink muddy waterB. get together with the family and enjoy special foodC. throw coloured powder and give gifts to friendsD. say prayers and celebrate with bonfires29. What can we infer from the passage?A. India is a country with relaxed social rules.B. Bhang is a very popular daily drink in India.C. Criminals will be forgiven if they celebrate Holi.D. Social class differences are very obvious in India.30. According to the last paragraph, Holi was originally celebrating ________.A. the end of winterB. the birth of a godC. victory of good against badD. love between family membersBThey tell us when to get up or when we’re running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms —the human body’s own internal clock —have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies — especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. That’s because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what’s the best time of day to take advantage of them?31. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A. our clocksB. scientists and expertsC. our daily routinesD. circadian rhythms32. The research referred to in Paragraph 3 found that people tend to ________.A. tell lies when they are tiredB. tell lies if they are rewardedC. lose temper as they become tiredD. break down because they are tired33. According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking?A. In the morning.B. Around midday.C. In the late afternoon.D. In the early evening.34. What information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph?A. Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.B. Examples of how the human body clocks control the body.C. Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.D. An explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Rebuild your body clockB. Timing is everythingC. Sleep more, lie lessD. Your time is upC3D printers are a new generation of machines that can make e veryday things. They’re remarkable because they can produce different kinds of objects, in different materials, all from the same machine. A 3D printer can make pretty much anything from clay cups to plastic toys, metal machine parts, fancy chocolate cakes or even (one day soon) human body parts. If you look at a page from your home printer with a microscope, you’ll see the letters are actually sitting slightly on top of the surface of the page. In theory, if you printed over that same page a few thousand times, the ink would build up enough layers (层) to create a solid 3D model of each letter. That idea of building a physical form out of tiny layers is how a 3D printer works.You start by designing a 3D object on an ordinary home PC, connect it to a 3D printer, press “print” and then sit back and watch. The process is a bit like making a loaf of sliced bread, but in the opposite order. Imagine baking each individual slice of bread and then gluing them together into a whole loaf. That’s basically what a 3D pr inter does.The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, and then forms a single solid object slice by slice. You can print a whole bike — handlebars, saddle, frame, wheels, brakes, pedals and chain — ready assembled, without using any tools. It’s just a question of leaving spaces in the right places.Have you ever broken something, only to find it’s no longer sold and you can’t replace it? 3D printing means you can simply print a new one. That world, where you can make almost anything at home, is very different from the one we live in today. It’s a world that doesn’t need trucks to deliver goods or warehouses to store them in, where nothing is ever out of stock and where there is less waste, packaging and pollution.It’s also a world where everyday items, such as shoes and furniture, can be easily made to your requirements. You can get some of those things now if you’re wealthy, but 3D printing brings affordable, designer manufacturing to the masses. If that sounds like pure fantasy, try googling “personalized 3D printed products” and see for yourself.36. You need all of the following to do some 3D printing EXCEPT ________.A. a computerB. some glueC. some materialsD. a 3D printer37. The second and third paragraphs mainly explain ________.A. how a 3D printer actually functionsB. the process of making a loaf of breadC. why the first 3D printer was inventedD. what 3D printers can actually produce38. Which of the following is an advantage of 3D printing according to the passage?A. You can produce almost everything in the warehouse.B. You can print things in large numbers and sell them.C. Things you print won’t need places to store.D. It will cause less waste and pollution.39. You can now use the 3D printer to solve your problem when you ________.A. have lost one of your shirt buttonsB. want a big house to live inC. run out of drinking waterD. need to replace an organ40. From the last paragraph we can learn that 3D printing productions are ________.A. easy to order through GoogleB. as popular as online shoppingC. still unbelievable to many peopleD. cheap to produce in mass productionDWhat exactly is language for? To many people, the answer seems obvious. It’s for the transfer of useful facts, such as “Dinner will be served at eight o’clock”, “Peter’s uncle has twisted his ankle”, and “Kangaroos live in Australia”.However, even when information is apparently conveyed, its reliability is not guaranteed. The speaker might have been lying, or even misunderstood, “We are now at take-off”, the pilot of a Boeing 747 announced. He meant, “We are now in the process of taking off”. The air-traffic controller assumed he meant, “We are waiting at the take-off point”. As a consequence, 583 people died as two planes crashed at an airport in Paris.Generally, language is moderately good at communicating simple pieces of factual information such as “John is Sally’s cousin”, providing the speaker is telling the truth. Such “information talking” is usuall y assumed to be at the core of language. Yet its effectiveness in the role depends on the type of information being conveyed.Language is bad at handling spatial information, whether for tying knots, following directions or learning about the circulation of the blood. Consider the instructions for tying a simple knot:1. Pass the end of the rope over the standing part.2. Take the end under the standing part from the loop.3. Bring the end of the rope back over itself towards the loop.4. … etc.Without a diagram this description is almost impossible to understand, even though it is accurate. Language is also particularly poor at communicating information about our senses and feeling.But language is particularly good at promoting communication between peopl e. It “oils social wheels”, even when nothing important is said, as pointed out by the language expert Bill West, who argued against “the false idea of language as a means of conveying ideas from the head to the speaker to that of the listener”. He stressed the social importance of “talking for the sake of talking”, which he labeled “phatic communication”.It is easy to think up examples. Customary words and gestures are exchanged when people meet, “Good morning”, “Hi there!”. And there are standard topics of conversation. In Britain this is traditionally the weather. In other countries, it may be the health of relatives, as in the custom in southern India.Conversational interaction between friends often supplies a minimum of information, but amaximum of supportive chat. Meaningless words, or even misunderstood words can keep a conversation going. So “solidarity talking”, talking to maintain social relations, is widespread and important.41. The author includes “Kangaroos live in Australia” in Paragraph 1 t o ________.A. explain the idea that language has changedB. argue that language can be used for reasoningC. tell a well-known fact which cannot be disprovenD. give an example of language used for giving information42. The author uses the example of the plane accident in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.A. the pilot was actually lyingB. language may be misunderstoodC. language may be difficult to masterD. the pilot had a poor command of the language43. Which of the following is NOT an example of spatial information?A. Tying a knot.B. Giving instructions.C. Following directions.D. Learning about the circulation of blood.44. Which of the following would the writer agree with?A. Language is used to convey emotions and sensations well.B. Language is particularly good at conveying information.C. Language is effective at keeping social communication.D. Language is able to convey spatial information well.45. According to the passage, telling a stranger standing next to you at a bus stop that “it’s a lovely day today” would be an example of ________.A. phatic communicationB. weather reportingC. information talkD. solidarity talk第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
