Bike Share Toronto is a non-profit organizationC. Shared bikes have taken the place of other vehiclesD. The green light on the dock shows the bike is unlockedBIs it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war,or war will stop man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger,but bacteriological（细菌的）or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war,there would be no danger for us.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not by contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre（大屠杀）,but by arbitration（仲裁）in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（意识形态）would prevent war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are,at best,doubtful,and at worst, totally false.Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course,very difficult problems remain in the international world,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought,even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die,that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West,but between Man and the bomb.5．The underlined word "this" in Paragraph l probably refers to " ". A. abolishing war B. improving weaponsC. solving international problemsD. living a peaceful life6．From Paragraph 2,we learn that the author .A. is a supporter of some modern thoughtsB. has no doubt about the truth of any thoughtC. does not think the adopinon of any thought could stop warD. believes the adoption of some thoughts could prevent war7．The last paragraph suggests that .A. nuclear war will certainly not take placeB. real agreements have been now reachedC. world opinion is still divided on nuclear warD. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy 8．Which of the following words can best describe the author's feeling in writing this passage?A. Disappointed.B. Doubtful.C. Worried.D. Hopeful.CSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on theInternet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist，but they seem not clear. The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday；in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less f amiliar with the fact that what constitutes (构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight- saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law—as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.9．By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that .A. work time is not clearB. many people have a day off on MondayC. the line between work time and rest time is unclearD. people don’t know when to rest10．The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people .A. enjoy working on weekendsB. fail to make full use of their timeC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours 11．According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they .A. have to obey their parentsB. need to acquire knowledgeC. need to prepare for the futureD. like studying12．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. We shouldn’t be governed by the law of time.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time schedule is decided by our teachers.DWhen facing bullying(欺凌), some kids are hesitant to bring up struggles at school. Open the lines of communication between you and your kids with theseimportant reads.LlamaLlama and the Bully GoatFinding story books about bullying isn’t easy, especially if you are concerned about scaring your young child. In the light-hearted picture book by Anna Dewdney, LlamaLlama comes face to face with a bully for the very first time. This fun book is a great way to start tallying about being kind and speaking up when someone is using mean words and is written for children from 2 to 5 years old.I Like MyselfA child who loves herself will face bullying with confidence and feel strong enough to stand up for what is right. From! Like Myself by Karen Beaumont, kids can learn that being themselves is enough from this light-hearted read. Written for preschool-aged children and older, use the silly pictures and fun rhymes to start talking to your kids about feeling strong and confident in who they are, no matter what others say.Stand Tall, Molly Lou MelonMolly Lou Melon is different, but that has never mattered before. In Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon, a bully picks on Molly on the very first day of school and because of the things that make her different. Instead of coming to terms with being laughed at, Molly knows how to stand up for herself. Written for preschoolers and up, this book is a great way to open up a conversation about how to handle bullying if your kids are being teased or witnessing bullying at school.The Bully from the Black LagoonThe Bully from the Black Lagoon is a newer addition to the popular series of Black Lagoon books by Mike Thaler and Jared Lee and is written for kids aged 4 to 8. When a new kid named Butch Pounder joins his school, Hubie is worried that he is a bully. The truth is, Butch is just looking for a friend. This book could be a great way to start a conversation about not judging others based on appearance.13．Who would be the target readers of these books?A. Children and parents.B. Children and teenagers.C. Teachers and students.D. Parents and educators.14．What can we learn about Llama Llama and the Bully Goat?A. Its written for preschoolers and up.B. It is a picture book with scaring stories.C. It advises kids to be brave to express themselves.D. It tells of the writer’s own experience with a bully.15．Which book tells kids not to judge a book by its cover1?A. Llama Llama and the Bully Goat.B. The Bully from the Black Lagoon.C. Stand Tall # Molly Lou Melon.D. I Like Myself.二、完形填空A serious defeat I suffered when I was only 10 years old helped me win the 1968 Olympic ice skating championship.

山东省枣庄市高新区2017届高三英语4月阶段性自测试题一、阅读理解AHotel rooms come in a variety of styles and price ranges. Despite differences m decoration and price, one thing most hotels have in common is a set of rules. Failure to obey these rules can result in fees or fines to cover hotel room damages, removal from the hotel or possibly even arrest.SmokingSome hotels are completely non-smoking. Some hotels designate smoking and non-smoking rooms. If you smoke in a non-smoking room, you will likely be fined hundreds of dollars and possibly asked to leave.Number of GuestsMost regular hotel rooms are designed for two adults. If you have more than two people staying in the room, the hotel will likely charge an additional fee for each extra guest, though some hotels let children stay free. Do not put more than four adults in the room unless the hotels policy permits that many people. Or you might be fined or removed from the hotelHotel Reservations RequirementsMost hotels require a major credit card to reserve the room. You can pay cash at the end of your stay, but do not be surprised if there is a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay. Most hotels authorize a security deposit on your card to cover any possible damages to the room. Once the hotel confirms that the room is undamaged and that you do not break any hotel policies, your security deposit will be refunded. Breaking the LawYou cannot break the law in your hotel room, just as you cannot break the law in your own home or in public. Do not do drugs or commit any other criminal act in the hotel room. If you do, you will likely be arrested.NoiseMost hotels have a noise policy you must obey. If you are being too loud you will usuallyget a warning. If the noise continues and more complaints are issued, you will likely be kicked out of the hotel, regardless of what time it is.1．What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advertise the hotel roomsB. To show some rules of hotel roomsC. To warn the customersD. To offer some tips of living in hotel rooms2．You will NOT be asked to leave the hotel, if you.A. make too much noise continuallyB. smoke without permissionC. have one extra guest to stayD. break the law3．Why is there a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay?A. Because the hotels may use the money to pay for possible damages caused by you.B. Because the hotels want to confirm whether you have money.C. Because the hotels need a major credit card to pay for the rent.D. Because the hotels need to authorize a security deposit.BThere is an island called Kitava, way out there in the Pacific Ocean, in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. It is one of the four main Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12,000 native residents. Rich with culture, surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest, Kitava is as apealing as it is remote. But it has more to offer than good views.As Byrdie reports, Kitava is also home to a people whose diet and nutritional habits remain healthy, untouched by Western influence. A lifetime of not knowing the sweet, sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease; it's also given them a lifetime of smooth, acne(痤疮) - free skin.In a study of l',200 subjects - including 300 teens and young adults - conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days, not one breakout was reported. They also found that genetics played little to no role in the results.In fact, the average Kitavan diet is fairly common. It' s simple, with no " miracle fruit" or " rare nut" to speak of, and Kitavans don' t even exercise much. That diet consistsmainly of yams( 山荮) , sweet potatoes, and taro (芋头) , local fruits (namely coconut) ,fish, and vegetables.But if you're already pulling out your suitcases and drafting a resignation letter to your boss, you might want to slow your step. For one thing, the closest airport is over 700 miles away from the island, so good luck getting there. And consider this: do you really want to move somewhere where you'll be the only person with acne until the diet kicks in?I don't think so.4．Which are the contributing factors of attracting visitors to the island?a. Rich culture .b. Clean white sandc. Thick rainforestd. Clear blue watere. Romote tribesA. abcB. acdC. bcdD. ade5．What accounts for the fact that the Kitavans own good skin?A. They don't like eating salt. .B. They enjoy varieties of rare fruits.C. They are sick of exercising.D. They follow simple but healthy diet.6．What is unlikely to be included in the Kitavans' diet? .A. TaroB. FishC. Potato chipsD. Coconut7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Think twice before moving to Kitava.B. Don’t hesitate to quit your job and move there.C. One can reach Kitava by plane without difficulty.D. Anyone will own acne - free skin on stepping on Kitava.CDriving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers.The robot,which is called "Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)" will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports,remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit.The robot is intended to be placed on the indication plate in the car and is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in co-operation with Volkswagen.AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will evenappear sympathetic if you're having a bad day.Cynthia Breazeal,director of MIT's Personal Robots Group,said: "We are developing AIDA to read the driver's mood from f acial expressions and other clues and respond in a proper way."AIDA works by analyzing the driver's moving patterns,keeping track of common routes and destinations.The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving.Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to his favorite supermarket,suggesting a route that avoids crowded roads.AIDA might recommend a petrol stop on the way if the fuel tank is nearly empty.The robot will also analyze real-time information about traffic jams,the weather report,commercial activities,tourist attractions,and residential areas."In developing AIDA,we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion.""AIDA can also give you response on your driving,helping you drive more efficiently and ensure safer driving behavior," Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added.8．What is AIDA in this passage?A. A personal driver.B. A traffic controller.C. A traffic indicator.D. A smart car robot.9．What's the most impressive about AIDA according to the passage?A. It can stay away from traffic jams.B. It can replace the driver to drive the car.C. It can interact with the driver.D. It can help the driver find the way.10．From the last paragraph we can know that.A. it's possible to drive a car without any petrolB. AIDA can help us to become better driversC. people can save a lot of energy by driving a carD. it's much safer to drive with someone else11．What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Intelligent Device for DriversB. A New Model of VolkswagenC. The Cooperation of Two Car MakersD. Traffic Management in Big CitiesDOne of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothers prefer to cradle their babies in the left arm. Why should this be? The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free. Unfortunately, this explanation cannot apply, because left-handed mothers also favor their left arm for holding their babies. The precise figures arc 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers.The most likely explanation is that the mother's heart is on the left side and, by holding the baby in her left arm, she is unconsciously bringing her baby closer to the sound of the heart-beat. This is the sound the baby heard when it was inside the mother’s womb and which is therefore an association with peace, comfort and security.Tests were carried out in nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heart beat, and, sure enough, went to sleep twice as quickly as the others. We also know that the sound of mother's heart is quite audible inside the womb and that the unborn baby has a well-developed hearing.It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias (偏爱) than mothers, suggesting that the human female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby. Alternatively，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make baby fell more secure. Some new observations on our closest animals’ relatives, the chimpanzees and gorillas, have revealed that they too show a strong bias for holding their babies on the left side. The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82 percent for gorillas, remarkably close to the human percentages.Recently a possible additional value in cradling babies on the left side has been suggested. It has been pointed out that, because, the two sides of the brain are concerned with different aspects of behavior, it is possible that the mother, in cradling the baby to her left, is showing the baby her “best side”. It is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the baby a better chance to read her emotional mood changes as it gazes up at her. Furthermore,the mother’s left eye and ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ea r would be. So in addition to the baby’s seeing the more expressive parts of its mother, there is further advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-held baby. This may sound far-fetched, but just possibly, it could provide a slight extra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants.How does a bias occur? Do the mothers have an instinctive preference for it, or do they learn it by trial and error, unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer? The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias. Observation of new born infants when they were only a few hours old revealed that they come into the world with a pre-programmed tendency to turn their head to the right. If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released, it naturally swings to the right far more often than to the left. This happens i n nearly 70 percent of babies. This may be only a part of explanation, because the holding bias is 80 percent not 70 percent, but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story. 12．How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A. By giving an example as a hook.B. By giving a general statement and narrowin g it down.C. By asking a question and showing an answer.D. By explaining the importance of understanding a phenomenon.13．The underlined word “audible” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. softB. clearC. weakD. distant14．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. The left side of the human face expresses emotions more strongly than the right.B. A mother’s left eye and ear are more sensitive to the emotional changes in her baby.C. A baby may be more able to “read” its mother’s emotions than was pr eviously believed.D. Holding her baby in the left arm may improve a mother’s emotional communication with it.15．What is the author’s tone when he discusses why most mothers cradle their babies inthe left arm?A.

山东省枣庄现代实验学校2017届高三英语4月阶段性自测题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解AHotel rooms come in a variety of styles and price ranges. Despite differences m decoration and price, one thing most hotels have in common is a set of rules. Failure to obey these rules can result in fees or fines to cover hotel room damages, removal from the hotel or possibly even arrest.SmokingSome hotels are completely non-smoking. Some hotels designate smoking and non-smoking rooms. If you smoke in a non-smoking room, you will likely be fined hundreds of dollars and possibly asked to leave.Number of GuestsMost regular hotel rooms are designed for two adults. If you have more than two people staying in the room, the hotel will likely charge an additional fee for each extra guest, though some hotels let children stay free. Do not put more than four adults in the room unless the hotels policy permits that many people. Or you might be fined or removed from the hotelHotel Reservations RequirementsMost hotels require a major credit card to reserve the room. You can pay cash at the end of your stay, but do not be surprised if there is a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay. Most hotels authorize a security deposit on your card to cover any possible damages to the room. Once the hotel confirms that the room is undamaged and that you do not break any hotel policies, your security deposit will be refunded.Breaking the LawYou cannot break the law in your hotel room, just as you cannot break the law in your own home or in public. Do not do drugs or commit any other criminal act in the hotel room. If you do, you will likely be arrested.NoiseMost hotels have a noise policy you must obey. If you are being too loud you will usually get a warning. If the noise continues and more complaints are issued, you will likely be kicked out of the hotel, regardless of what time it is.1．What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advertise the hotel roomsB. To show some rules of hotel roomsC. To warn the customersD. To offer some tips of living in hotel rooms 2．You will NOT be asked to leave the hotel, if you .A. make too much noise continuallyB. smoke without permissionC. have one extra guest to stayD. break the law3．Why is there a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay?A. Because the hotels may use the money to pay for possible damages caused by you.B. Because the hotels want to confirm whether you have money.C. Because the hotels need a major credit card to pay for the rent.D. Because the hotels need to authorize a security deposit.BThere is an island called Kitava, way out there in the Pacific Ocean, in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. It is one of the four main Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12,000 native residents. Rich with culture, surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest, Kitava is as apealing as it is remote. But it has more to offer than good views.As Byrdie reports, Kitava is also home to a people whose diet and nutritional habits remain healthy, untouched by Western influence. A lifetime of not knowing the sweet, sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease; it's also given them a lifetime of smooth, acne(痤疮) - free skin.In a study of l',200 subjects - including 300 teens and young adults - conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days, not one breakout was reported. They also found that genetics played little to no role in the results.In fact, the average Kitavan diet is fairly common. It' s simple, with no " miracle fruit" or " rare nut" to speak of, and Kitavans don' t even exercise much. That diet consists mainly of yams( 山荮) , sweet potatoes, and taro (芋头) , local fruits (namely coconut) ,fish, and vegetables.But if you're already pulling out your suitcases and drafting a resignation letter to your boss, you might want to slow your step. For one thing, the closest airport is over 700 miles away from the island, so good luck getting there. And consider this: do you really want to move somewhere where you'll be the only person with acne until the diet kicks in? I don't think so.4．Which are the contributing factors of attracting visitors to the island?a. Rich culture .b. Clean white sandc. Thick rainforestd. Clear blue watere. Romote tribesA. abcB. acdC. bcdD. ade5．What accounts for the fact that the Kitavans own good skin?A. They don't like eating salt. .B. They enjoy varieties of rare fruits.C. They are sick of exercising.D. They follow simple but healthy diet. 6．What is unlikely to be included in the Kitavans' diet? .A. TaroB. FishC. Potato chipsD. Coconut7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Think twice before moving to Kitava.B. Don’t hesitate to quit your job and move there.C. One can reach Kitava by plane without difficulty.D. Anyone will own acne - free skin on stepping on Kitava.CDriving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers.The robot,which is called "Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)" will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports,remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit.The robot is intended to be placed on the indication plate in the car and is being developedat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in co-operation with Volkswagen.AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day.Cynthia Breazeal,director of MIT's Personal Robots Group,said: "We are developing AIDA to read the driver's mood from facial expressions and other clues and respond in a proper way."AIDA works by analyzing the driver's moving patterns,keeping track of common routes and destinations.The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving.Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to his favorite supermarket,suggesting a route that avoids crowded roads.AIDA might recommend a petrol stop on the way if the fuel tank is nearly empty.The robot will also analyze real-time information about traffic jams,the weather report,commercial activities,tourist attractions,and residential areas."In developing AIDA,we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion.""AIDA can also give you response on your driving,helping you drive more efficiently and ensure safer driving behavior," Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added. 8．What is AIDA in this passage?A. A personal driver.B. A traffic controller.C. A traffic indicator.D. A smart car robot.9．What's the most impressive about AIDA according to the passage?A. It can stay away from traffic jams.B. It can replace the driver to drive the car.C. It can interact with the driver.D. It can help the driver find the way.10．From the last paragraph we can know that .A. it's possible to drive a car without any petrolB. AIDA can help us to become better driversC. people can save a lot of energy by driving a carD. it's much safer to drive with someone else11．What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Intelligent Device for DriversB. A New Model of VolkswagenC. The Cooperation of Two Car MakersD. Traffic Management in Big CitiesDOne of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothers prefer to cradle their babies in the left arm. Why should this be? The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free. Unfortunately, this explanation cannot apply, because left-handed mothers also favor their left arm for holding their babies. The precise figures arc 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers.The most likely explanation is that the mother's heart is on the left side and, by holding the baby in her left arm, she is unconsciously bringing her baby closer to the sound of the heart-beat. This is the sound the baby heard when it was inside the mother’s womb and which is theref ore an association with peace, comfort and security.Tests were carried out in nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heart beat, and, sure enough, went to sleep twice as quickly as the others. We also know that the sound of mother's heart is quite audible inside the womb and that the unborn baby has a well-developed hearing.It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias (偏爱) than mothers, suggesting that the human female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby. Alternatively，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make baby fell more secure. Some new observations on our closest animals’ relatives, the chimpanzees and gorillas, have revealed that they too show a strong bias for holding their babies on the left side. The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82 percent for gorillas, remarkably close to the human percentages.Recently a possible additional value in cradling babies on the left side has been suggested. It has been pointed out that, because, the two sides of the brain areconcerned with different aspects of behavior, it is possible that the mother, in cradling the baby to her left, is showing the baby her “best side”. It is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the baby a better chance to read her emotional mood changes as it gazes up at her. Furthermore, the mother’s left eye and ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ear would be. So in addition to the baby’s seeing the more expressive parts of its mother, there is further advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-held baby. This may sound far-fetched, but just possibly, it could provide a slight extra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants.How does a bias occur? Do the mothers have an instinctive preference for it, or do they learn it by trial and error, unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer? The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias. Observation of new born infants when they were only a few hours old revealed that they come into the world with a pre-programmed tendency to turn their head to the right. If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released, it naturally swings to the right far more often than to the left. This happens in nearly 70 percent of babies. This may be only a part of explanation, because the holding bias is 80 percent not 70 percent, but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story.12．How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A.

By explaining the importance of understanding a phenomenon.13．The unde rlined word “audible” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. softB. clearC. weakD. distant14．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?A.

山东省枣庄市邹坞镇2017届高三英语4月阶段性自测题一、阅读理解AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container witha meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor（恩人）and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello". Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right."Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time," I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her, ”I said."Oh, no," Nicole said. "Don't worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname."The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than I am-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing. Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness."Thank you" is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate. 1．The author and Wing got to know each other ________.A. as next door neighborsB. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiencesD. after using an iPad to communicate 2．The underlined word "reciprocate" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. do as wellB. offer generouslyC. give in returnD. accept with pleasure3．The author's effort to learn Mandarin shows her ________.A. great satisfactionB. real kindnessC. heartfelt thanksD. sincere friendshipBIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.4．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food.D. To sell them at discount prices.5．According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.6．What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.D. A good first impression increases sales.7．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.CThe plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the试卷第!异常的公式结尾页，总6页2size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.8．The author may agree that it is_________ to build a large man-made lake.A. possibleB. impossibleC. greatD. interesting9．The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because________.A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dryB. there are enough trees in ZhengzhouC. they haven’t finished digging the lakeD. there is no underground water10．What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?A. Light pollution.B. Water pollution.C. Air pollution.D. Sound pollution.11．What do Zhengzhou’s residents think of the man-made lake?A. Scary.B. Small.C. Helpful.D. Great.DBritish engineers at a company called Reaction Engines, have successfully tested a whole new kind of jet engine, named Sabre, Financial Times is reporting, so that the time of long-distance flight could be halved, or even quartered. Britain’s Orange News says jets with the new engine could fly from London to Sydney in four hours, instead of the usual twelve to sixteen hours and Mail Online adds that new engine not only allows for faster travel but pollutes less and the fuel for it costs less as well.The secret to the new engine is patented(获得专利) and this new technology very quickly changes air from normal temperature to super-cold temperature. This means the engine can run faster without breaking apart due to overheating, which keeps most modern jets from traveling faster. The engine is air-breathing and use hydrogen as its fuel source. In addition to flying faster, a jet with the new engine would also fly much higher, allowing for an even faster flight in the very thin air. Because of the very high speed produced by the engine and the high altitude, a jet with Sabre in it would not have any windows.This is the biggest breakthrough in jet technology since the invention of the jet engine, and they expect new aircraft with the new engine to be traveling in the sky in just ten years. They also note that tests of the engine were overseen by the European Space Agency which has now wholly supported the new engine and has even begun talking about booking flight time with future jets that could3be used to deliver satellites into orbit around the earth.This technology is not something that happens overnight. Instead, it is the result of many years’ hard work by thousands of engineers from over seventeen countries. Research has suggested that, with advances in jet plane technology to match the engine, flights could eventually reach speeds of nearly 20,000 miles per hour, making travel to distant parts of the globe as quick and simple as driving across town.12．Which advantage of jets with the new engine is NOT mentioned?A. traveling fasterB. polluting lessC. costing lessD. flying more safely13．What does the underlin ed word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to ?A. Reaction Engines.B. A long-distance flight.C. A jet with the new engine.D. Mail Online.14．The modern jets without the new engine can’t travel faster mainly because ________.A. their engines can’t stay co olB. they use a normal fuel sourceC. they just fly at very high altitudesD. their engines can’t allow jets to fly in the thin air15．The European Space Agency hoped to ________.A. be in charge of testing the technologyB. play the leading role in jet technologyC. use jets with the new engine to launch satellitesD. buy all the products made by Reaction Engines二、完形填空The Two-Dollar BillReturning from a trip to Washington D.

山东省枣庄市2017届高三英语4月阶段性自测试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解ACherish the Moments with Our ParentsThere was something in an elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Unsure of her steps, the woman moved slowly, along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds.older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. Without hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper. Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Her movements reminded me of my own mother, who had passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked, the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation. We found the movie and she told me it was the one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said he could enjoy it with his own young children.I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier. As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I went over to the younger woman, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store."Is that your mom?" I asked.I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business. But she rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah." There was annoyance in her reply. Still watching the mother, I said, "Mind some advice?""Go ahead," said the daughter.I smiled to show her I wasn't criticizing "Cherish her," I said, "When she's gone, it's the little moments that'll come back to you. Moments like this. I know.”It was true. I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I'd used my impatience to make her life miserable.The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter. Together they made their way toward the store's exit. They stood there for a moment, side by side, watching the rush of the holiday current. Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother's shoulders and gently guided her home.1．The daughter checked her watch frequently because she ________.A. had to wait for a friendB. wanted to buy a new watchC. was impatient to shop with her momD. was uninterested in watching the DVD2．From Paragraphs 3 and 4 we know that ________.A. the elderly woman hadn't seen the movie beforeB. the elderly woman found her son's favorite movieC. the author and the eldly woman hurried to find the DVDD. the author and the elderly woman enjoyed each other's company3．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the author had treated her mom very wellB. the elderly woman looked like the author's momC. the author scolded the daughter for her behaviorD. the daughter changed her attitude toward her momBAs anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use. 4．Hoffice was started to ________.A. change people’s attitude to workB. provide a co-working space for freeC. improve people’s working conditionsD. encourage people to be more social5．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. What Hoffice means to people.C. What people share at Hoffice.D. How a Hoffice day works.6．Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.A. work longer than beforeB. can’t be separated from each otherC. benefit a lot from the working styleD. expect more people to join them7．What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It has been popular in many countries for many years.B. It has created many new job opportunities.C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.CStreet dances are dance styles that evolved (演变) outside of dance studios in any available open space. They are often improvisational (即兴的) and social in nature，encouraging interaction and contact with audiences and the other dancers. These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area. Some examples of street dances include B-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City, and Melbourne Shuffle which originated in Melbourne, Australia.Street dances are dances that evolve between people in a social environment，although it cannot be always determined as to how they actually do evolve between people. In theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, that other person tries to copy that move. Similar to the game of Chinese Whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancer creating their own style or entirely new moves.There is a small difference between entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance. While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if ifs based on someone else’s dance style), a full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance. For example, when B-boying evolved out of early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are now and then practiced and regarded as the same dance. All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as B-boying.Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific persons. One example is Locking, which is often regarded as being started by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance. Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people; since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record. Street dance pioneers also rarely have professional degrees in dance, thus distinguishing street dance from other modern dance forms.8．Paragraph 1 is intended to tell us the of street dances.A. varietiesB. changesC. characteristicsD. distributions9．What do we know about street dances?A. Dancers perform them in dance studios.B. They are developed by professional dancers.C. They are collected from different moves and styles.D. Dancers create moves based on other people’s moves.10．Chinese Whispers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to .A. stress a street dancer’s own styleB. show the effect of Chinese whispersC. introduce a popular Chinese gameD. explain the characteristics of street dances11．The passage is probably taken from .A. a travel journalB. a history textbookC. a popular magazineD. a museum brochureDWhile the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether. Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society. Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks don’t even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether! Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!But despite its growing popularity, some people don’t like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system. Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—With increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”. 12．What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?A. Many banks in Sweden don’t have ATMs.B. You don’t have to buy tickets when riding buses.C. People don’t give the homeless money but food.D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.13．According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.B. The younger generation is opposed to the measures.C. Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.14．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Advanced Country –SwedenB. A Controversial Government PolicyC. Sweden to Influence the World’s Cash PaymentD. Sweden to Become the World’s First Cashless Society15．Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?A. Education.B. Economy.C. Travel.D. Insurance.二、完形填空Research confirms that performing acts of kindness and sharing thankful thoughts have many positive effects on mood and health.

山东省枣庄市薛城区2017届高三英语4月阶段性自测试题一、阅读理解AChina has more than 30 intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) recognized by the UNESCO, including paper-cutting, the Dragon Boat Festival, Peking Opera, acupuncture(针灸) and so on. The organization adopted a decision that China’s “The Twenty-Four Solar Terms”(二十四节气) should be put on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016 in Ethiopia.The Twenty-Four Solar Terms, knowledge of time and practices in agriculture, starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It developed through thee observation of the sun’s annual movement in China. In ancient time, the method of tugui, earth sundial(日暑), was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms.The Twenty-Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese agricultural production. At the initial stage of agricultural development, people began to explore the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding, harvesting and other activities. Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(日历) to guide the agricultural production in China. It has also been introduced into North Korea, Japan and other neighboring countries and still used in Japan. The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people’s way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity. 1．According to the first two paragraphs, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms______.A. was used to measure the shadow of the sunB. has not been listed as one intangible cultural heritage of humanityC. repeats from the Beginning of Spring to the Greater Cold every yearD. is the best intangible cultural heritage recognized by the UNESCO2．We can learn from the text that _______ in China in the past.A. the Twenty-Four Solar Terms only influenced spring and autumnB. the Twenty-Four Solar Terms had something to do with agricultureC. people cared about the changes of weather just for funD. agricultural production highly influenced the seasonal changes3．We can infer from the text that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms _______.A. is an agricultural calendar merely used in ChinaB. is strongly influenced by North Korea and JapanC. is scarcely connected with natural relesD. is part of traditional Chinese cultureBA little before nine o’clock on Tuesday night, Antonio Gutierrez found himself facing a welcome dilemma. Might he, a waitress asked, have room for a second helping of pudding? By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the centre of Madrid, is a typicalSpanishbar.But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homele ss people,such as Antonio Gutiérrez, can dine, free of charge, at table s set with flowers and proper glasses.The restaurant is the latest plan from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz, meaning messengers of peace, whichWas founded 54 years ago by Father Angel(安吉神父)García Rodriguez. “The inspiration came from Pope (教皇)Francis, who’s spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it’s through bread or through work,” said Father Angel. “So we thought, why not open a restaurant? People with nothing can come and eat here and get the same treatment as e veryone else.”Like many Spanish charities, Mensajeros de la Paz is still dealing with the human consequences of the country’s financial crisis, which has left the overall unemploymentrate close to 20% and youth unemployment among Europe’s highest at 42%.Each day, Father Angel’s nearby church provides 200 homeless people with breakfast and lunch. In the evening, the new restaurant feeds 100 homeless people. If the restaurant proves successful, the charity plans to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs who will come to cook in the kitchen occasionally.“The food here is tasty,” said Gutiérrez. “I’d give it lots of stars and I’ll be back tomorrow.” Gutiérrez had not eaten in such a restaurant for five years, except when Father Angel had taken him out.4．Which of the following can best describe Father Angel?A. Old and successfulB. Kind and respectableC. Creative and giftedD. Brave and determined5．What can we know about the restaurant?A. It was set up by Father AngelB. It is in the center of MadridC.

Scientists have long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important p urpose.An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids. The journal Current Biology published their find ings. The team said they found that blinking "repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused" on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll back into their sockets-the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers found the eyes don't always return to the same position. They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Maus said, "Our eye muscles are quite sluggish（迟缓的）and imprecise, so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where they're supposed to. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink, and commands the eye muscles to make the needed corrections." The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts "like a steadicam（摄影稳定器）of the mind."The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteer's blinksand eye movements. After each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers' eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.Professor Maus said, "Even though participants did not consciously register that the dot had moved, their brains did, and adjusted with the corrective eye movements. These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes ,commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies' own hardware."12．According to the new study, blinking eyes can ________.A. serve to keep the eyeballs wetB. reposition eyeballs to stay focusedC. consciously correct eye movementsD. make our eyes adapt to motor signals13．From the experiment, we can learn that ________.A. volunteers could see the moving dot with special camerasB. the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predictedC. participants were aware of the dot's movements to the rightD. the brain commanded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot14．The underlined word "register" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. realizeB. refocusC. reserveD. reason15．This passage shows that ________.A. eye muscles are quite inactive and impreciseB. the research is of great value in the eye movementC. the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearlyD. volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots二、完形填空It's not unusual to be caught in your life.

2017年山东省枣庄十八中高考英语模拟试卷（4月份）副标题一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共12.0分）ALarger brain size linked to longer life in deerThe size of a female animals'brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring （后代），according to new research led by the University of Cambridge．The study，published in the Royal Society Open Science journal，shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains．Brain size is passed down through the generations．This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mammals and draws on data comparing seven generations of deer．Across species of mammals，brain size varies widely．This is thought to be a consequence of specific differences in the benefits and costs of a larger brain．Mammals with larger brains may，for example，have greater cognitive abilities that enable them to adapt better to environmental changes or they may have longer lifespans （寿命）．But there may also be disadvantages：for instance，larger brains require more energy，so individuals that possess them may show reduced fertility （繁殖力）．The researchers，based at the University of Cambridge's Zoology Department and Edinburgh University's Institute of Evolutionary Biology，wanted to test if they could find more direct genetic or non-genetic evidence of the costs and benefits of large brain size by comparing the longevity （长寿）and survival of individuals of the same species with different sized brains．Using the skulls of 1，314wild red deer whose life histories and breeding success had been monitored in the course of a long-term study on the Isle of Rum，they found that females with larger endocranial volumes （脑腔容量）lived longer and produced more surviving offspring in the course of their lives．Lead author Dr Corina Logan，a Gates Cambridge Scholar，says，"The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known，but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived species having longer developmental periods in which the brain can grow．These hypotheses （假设）were generated from cross-species correlations；however，testing such hypotheses requires investigations at the within-species level，which is what we did．"Dr Logan adds，"We found that some of the cross-species predictions about brain size held for female red deer，and that none of the predictions were supported in male red deer．This indicates that each sex likely experiences its own set of trade-offs （权衡，协调）with regard to brain size．"The study also showed that females'relative endocranial volume is smaller than that of males，despite evidence of selection for larger brains in females．Professor Tim Clutton-Brock，who set up the Rum Red Deer study with Fiona Guinness in 1972and initiated the work on brain size，points out，"The reason that this kind of study has not been conducted before is that it requires long term records of a large number of individuals across multiple generations and data of this kind are still rare in wild animals．"1.What does the new research about brain size reveal？______A. Large-brain red deer tend to be more reproductive．B. Large-brain female deer survive small-brain male deer．C. Brain size causes individual differences in some mammals．D. Brain size has been increasing from generation to generation．2.For different species of mammals，brain size varies widely in that ______ ．A. mammals can develop different adaptive abilitiesB. a larger brain has its advantages and disadvantagesC. different mammals are born with different lifespansD. brain size is affected by genetic or non-genetic factors3.What can we learn about the relation between brain size and longevity？______A. The cause and effect needs to be further investigated．B. Brain size absolutely determines animals'longevity．C. Longer-lived species allow brains to grow to a large size．D. The cross-species assumptions apply to red deer of both sexes．4.What can we infer from Professor Tim Clutton-Brock's words？______A. Researchers can't possibly reach a conclusion about the reason．B. Researchers are not patient enough to keep long term records．C. Such research has been thoroughly conducted on wild animals before．D. Such research will witness great difficulty in the long-term process．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】1．C．细节理解题．根据第一段Larger brain size linked to longer life in deerThe size of a female animals'brain may determin e whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring （后代），according to new research led by the University of Cambridge可知关于大脑大小的最新研究揭示了大脑的大小导致某些哺乳动物的个体差异；故选C．2．B．细节理解题．根据第三段Mammals with larger brains may，for example，have greater cognitive abilities that enable them to adapt better to environmental changes or t hey may have longer lifespans （寿命）．But there may also be disadvantages：for instance，larger brains require more energy可知较大的大脑有优点也有缺点；故选B．3．A．细节理解题．根据文章，"The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known，but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived speci es having longer developmental periods in which the brain can grow可知关于大脑大小和寿命之间的关系其原因和后果需要进一步调查；故选A．4．D．推理判断题．根据最后一段The reason

China's"The Twenty-Four Solar Terms"（二十四节气）should be put on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016in Ethiopia．The Twenty-Four Solar Terms，knowledge of time and practices in agriculture，starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold，moving in cycles．It developed through thee observation of the sun's annual movement in China．In ancient time，the method of tugui，earth sundial（日暑），was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms．The Twenty-Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese agricultural production．At the initial stage of agricultural development，people began to explore the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding，harvesting and other activities．Gradually，they formed the concept of"seed in spring，grow in summer，harvest in autumn and store in winter"．During the spring and autumn periods，the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes，thus forming the concept of Solar Terms．As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years，the Twenty-Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature，and harmony between man and nature．Created by Chinese ancestors，it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar（日历）to guide the agricultural production in China．It has also been introduced into North Korea，Japan and other neighboring countries and still used in Japan．The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people's way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity．5.According to the first two paragraphs，the Twenty-Four Solar Terms ______ ．A. was used to
