They help to build America‟s first transcontinental railroad between1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.B ill Yee‟s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America during the…gold rush‟days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee‟s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860‟s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together with out the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.24. What do you know about Bill Yee?A. His family was rich in the 1860‟s.B. His father settled in the USA.C. He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.D. His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.25. According to Bill Yee, many Chinese went to America in the 1860‟s mainly .A. to run their own businessesB. to find their ancestorsC. to make a livingD. to dig gold26. According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin, .A. the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good lifeB. they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workersC. some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in ChinaD. some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US27. Why did Stanford University carry out the project?A. Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers‟ descendants to get together.B. Becau se they want to show the importance of America‟s first transcontinental railroad.C. Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past in America.D.Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers‟ role in US history.C（2015•四川省成都七中高三一诊模拟）You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything.Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.But that‟s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us ab out danger. Without fear, we wouldn‟t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.In addition, when you‟re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you‟ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways.If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don‟t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.28. What is the article mainly about?A. People‟s misundersta ndings about fear.B. Different ways to deal with fear.C. The benefits fear brings us.D. A new study about fear.29. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?A. It improves people‟s ability to survive in the modern world.B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.30. The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to _________.A. get closer toB. fight againstC. pay attention toD. be more careful with31. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.B. Experience it as often as possible.C. Consider it as a sign of weakness. .D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.D（2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试）If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would yo u go about it? There‟s a fair chance that you‟d be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we don’t have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being‟ personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large is learning. We‟re actually surprisingly bad a t having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven‟t yet learnt. It‟s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success ---for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn‟t have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you‟ve learnt them, but you should keep testing what you‟ve learn t if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there‟s more to testing than finding out what students knows --tests can also help us remember.32. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because_______.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don‟t understand well what we are learningC. we don‟t know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones33. 64. The researchers‟ experiment wa s intended to _______.A. confirm we don‟t know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing34. What does the authour believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you‟re poor at.D. Strong desire fr grasping new knowledge.35. The proper title for the passage is ________.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spot第二节（共5小题；每题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。

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less selfconscious (难 为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food.

2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语试题（新课标II 卷，含解析）第Ⅰ卷第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of cl othes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all -night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.祝您高考马到成功！22.Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off ” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23.How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting itB.By turning it on and offC.By switching channelsD.By having it repaired24.How does the author sound when telling the story?A.CuriousB.AnxiousC.CautiousD.Humorous【答案】21.C22.A23.D24.D22.A 词义推测题。

It was then that I hear d a sound “miaow”. Looking through the leaves, I saw the culp rit(肇事者), a neighborhood cat.

Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in , . There were no Christmas carolers(唱颂歌的人) walking in these streets that were lined with boarded-up(用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children c lose as they hurried down in the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but the bright sun couldn’t warm the place.Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one house and our gr oup knocked on the door. Our arms were filled with ham, brea d and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhau sted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to b e caught in her nightgown(睡衣) with undone hair. She was in her late-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years.“Sacred Heart food deliver service,” I smiled. “ Where can we put this for you? ”She pointed to a place and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions of the house they lived in. The children climbe d around, wearing only diapers(尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our fe et. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart san k. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was th e reality for this family. We set boxes down and the mother gr abbed my hand.“You don’t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family,” she said, crying. “We are just getting by.” I opened my arms and gave her a hug.“Happy holidays!” I replied before I headed out the door. I real ized how warm I felt inside.This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.61.

The new terms include weixin, or WeChat etc. There are also some older words recently used again and repurpos ed for contemporary(当代的) use, such as tuhao. Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel, tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in : people who are “extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values.”But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut, while other popul ar terms were shut out? Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi, shengnü, and baifumei.Li Xingjian, the chief editor of the dictionary, said about 30 lan guage experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms. They took into account three main considerations: whether the term has entered public topic, whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a m inimum level of tastefulness.“We considered and discussed a huge list,” Mr. Li said. “A ter m like diaosi is not very tasteful, and it’s unlikely to be used fo r much longer. And shengnü, we thought it wasn’t that signific ant. It’s used a lot by young people online, but otherwise peop le don’t really use it.”“On the other hand, tuhao has always been around. It has a mocking(嘲弄的) meaning, but it’s not necessarily negative,” he said. “We t hink it’ll stay around for a while, because in real life there reall y are these kinds of people and therefore a need to describe t hem.”The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese, first published in 2004, is appreciated especially by scholars and those interes ted in contemporary usage. But it is not the first reference dicti onary in . That honor still goes to the New China Character Di ctionary and the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised, with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones. 66. What does the underlined words phrase “make the cut” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Select.B. Exclude.C. Replace.D. Explain.67. How many aspects were taken into consideration to choose the new terms for the dictionary?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.68. Why was shengnü not chosen into the new Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese?A. Because it is never used in their daily life.B. Because it is not popular on the Internet these days.C. Because it is neither tasteful nor likely to endure long.D. Because it is not so important and is mainly used onli ne by young people.69. Which is NOT True according to the passage?A. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese was first publi shed in 2004.B. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is the first refe rence dictionary.C. The term tuhao will exist for some time.D. About 30 language experts worked for over three years to choose the new terms.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chine se is revised.B. People think differently about the newly chosen terms.C. Many new terms were chosen into the Dictionary of Moder n Standard Chinese.D. The language experts think highly of newly chosen terms.Part Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered b lanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educatin g their children. Not caring about the money, parents often se nd their children to the best schools or even abroad to Englan d, the US or . They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrum ent or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start i n life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an educat ion is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable am ount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best educat ion they can give to their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in som e areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teachi ng them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooki ng, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that h e will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always t ries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of con fidence. These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more impo rtant.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.
