必修5 Unit 5First aid阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·陕西省质量检测二)I’ve always had strong opinions of howlove should be expressed. What I remember most about visiting myboyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock as we silently ate ourmeal. I was quick to regard his family as cold. However, once, when wewere about to drive home, my boyfriend’s father appeared and began to wash the windshield (挡风玻璃). I could sense that his dad was a caring man.I learned another lesson about love later. My father often telephoned me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good share price,”he would say when I answered the phone. My dad offered no pleasant greeting or inquiry (询问) about my life. This angered me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success and realized his concern for my financial security showed how much he loved me. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock (股票), I thanked him.The way I treat my friends is sometimes different from how they treat me. For example, I always return phone calls without delay and regularly check in with old friends. I had one friend who rarely called, responding to my messages with short emails. “She isn’t a good friend!”I thought. My anger grew as the holidays approached. Then she came to a gathering I hosted and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we last went window-shopping. I was shocked at her kindness, and felt bad for thinking her uncaring. Clearly I needed to change my expectations.Far too often, I ignore unique expressions, eagerly expecting people to do things my way. This has left me feeling unloved. Over the years, however, I have learned to read others’love signs better and get along well with them.1.The writer finally realized that her father ________.A.wasn’t a pleasant personB.was caring about herC.was successful in financeD.was dissatisfied with her2.How many examples has the writer given to show the lessons she has learned on love?A.Three. B.Two.C.One. D.Four.3.From the passage we can infer that the writer often treats her loved ones ________.A.indirectly but warmly B.directly and coldlyC.warmly and friendly D.coldly but regularly4.The writer writes this passage to show that ________.A.people should treat others in a caring wayB.her good friend dislikes her way to care about othersC.she expects others to care about her in her wayD.different people have different ways to show their loveB(2016·河北省邢台市摸底考试)Sunstroke is a condition that canquickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t givenimmediately.Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the bodytemperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working.It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get theresooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there’s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a wellshaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person’s body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.5.When does a person get sunstroke?A.When the body doesn’t function.B.When proper care is given immediately.C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.6.What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.The first aid for sunstroke.B.The causes of sunstroke.C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.7.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A.Call for assistance from others.B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C.Put a wet towel on the person’s face.D.Help the person take some medicine.8.The text probably comes from________.A.a guidebook B.a book reviewC.a medical magazine D.an official documentC(2016·东城区综合练习二)Small seating in the economyclass(经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable butpotentially lifethreatening. Space has become so tight thatpassengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane’s safety tips in case of emergency, and they were the smallest of the group. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a threat (威胁) to passengers. “We don’t think it is a safety matter,”he said, “We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them.” In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable” — with an 86centimeter seat. Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable seats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres.Economy class on Scheduled Airlines is now often little better than economy on Qatar Airways. Some Qatar Airways even offer the chance to upgrade — at a price — to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.9.What can we learn from the passage?A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could cause danger.C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge.10.What might be the author’s attitude towards reducing the space of economy seats?A.Neutral. B.Sceptical.C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.11.Where does the passage most probably come from?A.A biography. B.A book review.C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.D(2016·衡水一中高三模拟)In a computer age, a broadband Internetconnection is very popular now. Whether cable or mobile broadband,today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days.Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files downloadmuch faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.There’s a hidden problem: you have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dialup access for you. And for those living really far away, there may be no Internet access at all.Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs (郊区), it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere.Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables (光缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the “last mile” proble m remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday thatmight not matter. If the rapid progress in cellphone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.12.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Internet connections have been popular everywhere.B.Internet service providers are willing to care about rural customers.C.The problem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt with.D.Computers can’t become popular in developing countries.13.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ________.A.make TV and telephone available everywhereB.bring great change to people’s everyday lifeC.bring faster Internet connections to usersD.make it possible for more people to use the Internet14.What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?A.The broadband connection’s getting faster.B.The rapid progress in cellphone technology.C.More and more Internet connections.D.More and more Internet users.15.The best title for this passage may be “________”.A.Internet Connection ProblemsB.Internet Connections Need ImprovingC.Progress in Internet ConnectionsD.Internet Connections TodayⅡ.阅读七选五(2016·河南省普通毕业班适应性练习)It’s a proven fact that the way in which we remember things changes as we get older. Just look at the different ways in which kids and adults learn languages.__1__ They learn best by singing songs, mimicking (模仿) others and playing games. They can learn to repeat words after only hearing them a couple of times.Adults prefer to analyse a language and find out how it works before they start speaking.__2__ It also reflects an ingrained (根深蒂固的) learning strategy developed through years of life experience.On the surface, it seems that kids learn faster. They start speaking a new language more quickly and find it easier to remember new vocabulary. __3__Adults are generally able to concentrate for longer periods of time. They aren’t distracted by friends wanting to play football or thinking about what they want for Christmas next year.Mature learners also have their own learning strategy. __4__People have more trouble learning new vocabulary as they get older. However, with the correct training, an adult learner’s brain will adapt. __5__So, in summary, by adapting your learning style and playing to your strengths, it’s never too late to learn a language!A.Kids like to be active and involved.B.Language learning can prevent memory loss in older people.C.They know what works for them and are able to plan their studies accordingly.D.Motivation is another factor that can be an advantage for older learners.E.This is often influenced by fear of failure.F.To learn a foreign language really opens opportunities both locally and abroad.G.However, adults have certain advantages, too.参考答案Ⅰ.阅读理解语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Unit 5 First aidⅠ.阅读理解AWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU)in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic(阁楼)one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript(手稿). On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who _authenticated__the story as O. Henry's.My father then set out to sell it. Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.1.Who found the O. Henry's manuscript?A.The girl's mother.B.The author's father.C.The girl.D.The author.2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A.O.

Henry story.B.To meet the author himself.C.To talk with the O. Henry expert.D.To give money to the girl.B(2016·四川卷)A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.5.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_____.A.started sleep more easily B.were more anxiousC.were less active D.woke up later6.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.It's been tested on mice for ten times.B.It can make people more energetic.C.It exists in milk in great amount.D.It's used in sleeping drugs.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Night Milk and Sleep B.Fat, Sugar and HealthC.An Experiment on Mice D.Milk Drinking and Health8.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By providing research results.Ⅱ.七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Unit 5 First aidⅠ.阅读理解AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3 000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after they contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?●If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch him/her!●If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!●If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.●The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.●It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else.If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸).Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.●If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1.What kind of passage is it?A.An advertisement.B.A horror story.C.A news report.D.First aid emergency advice.2.The underlined sentence “Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!” implies that _____.A.you should move the appliance that caused itB.you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC.it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD.it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3.When a person has got an electric shock, you should ______.A.separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upB.keep the victim warm and help him breathe againC.move the victim onto his side if he has got neck injuriesD.keep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesB(2016·河北省邢台市摸底考试) Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately.Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit.This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken.In that case,you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature.Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible.This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒).Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place.If there's no one around,call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance.Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there's a building nearby, aim for that.Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect.If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water.If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it.Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body.Focus on the face, neck, and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her e anything,a towel or sheet,a shirt,your hands, or a piece of board.This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.4.When does a person get sunstroke?A.When the body doesn't function.B.When proper care is given immediately.C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.5.What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.The first aid for sunstroke.B.The causes of sunstroke.C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A.Call for assistance from others.B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.D.Help the person take some medicine.7.The text probably comes from_______.A.a guidebook B.a book reviewC.a medical magazine D.an official documentⅡ.书面表达假如你是李夏。

Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, and in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard(不达标的), low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandardmeats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won't taste strange to your children.If you're facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be unbelievably boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http:// www. and you’ll find a long list of recipes(菜谱)to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format(示范格式), so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.4. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.A. serving flash-frozen meatB. expressing children'scomplaintsC. instructing different ways of cookingD. supplying natural food withoutchemicals5 .The underlined word "eradicated" in the last paragraph can be replaced with______.A. coveredB. acceptedC. reducedD. removed6.

What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?A. Pay for Service Foods service.B. Buy organic meat from now on.C. Write recipes for Service Foods.D. Answer complaints on the web.CAbout 150 years ago, a village church priest, Patric Bronte, in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes fell entirely on the only male successor(继承人), Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.Branwell’s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London’s Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he ended up going back home, a penniless failure.Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again.Still, the selfless sisters set aside their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male — but what of the three sisters?During Branwell’s last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense (under a pen name, for fear of reviewers’ prejudice against females). Even Branwell might have laughed: they sold only two copies.They didn’t gi ve up. Instead, they continued in their spare time,late at night by candlelight, to pour out their contained emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition, in reality, less fiction than autobiography (自传)! And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne’s Agnes Grey, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte’s Jane Eyre.But years of sacrifice (牺牲) for Branwell had eventually ruined their health. Emily took ill at her brother’s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29; Anne died 5 months later, aged 30; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been highlythought of instead of sacrificed.No one remembers Branwell’s name, much less of his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters’ tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature.8. What might lead to the sad ending of the three Bronte sisters?A. That to be a writer was a really tough road to go.B. The social prejudice against women in those days.C. Their poor family.D. The failure of their brother.9. What does the underlined part probably mean in paragraph 2 ?A. He gave a wrong call to a person.B. He shouldn’t have spent much on art.C. He was not talented in art at all.D. He was actually not promising on the way of art.10. According to the passage, what can be inferred from the story of Branwell?A. Gift is not necessarily a guarantee of success.B. Gift is a burden for a person.C. A person’s success is largely due to the support of his family.D. Too many choices may lead to success in none.11. Were Patric Bronte alive, what might he regret most?A. Not taking good care of his children.B. Intending his son for an artist or a writer.C. Putting all of his eggs in one male basket.D. Sacrificing too many pennies for his son.DAccording to a new research from the University of Cambridge in England,sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their abilityto recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces,including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards.Later,they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded.The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15percent - the same rate at which a human's ability to perform the same task declines."Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,”said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. "We've shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, close to those of humans and monkeys."Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington's disease, affect this ability."Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive(认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change," Morton said.12. According to the new research,what's unusual about sheep? ___A. They have large brains close to monkeys.B. They can recognize their handlers.C. They can tell animals from humans.D.They can recognize human faces from photographs.13.How did the researchers train the sheep?___A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.C. By rewarding them with food.D. By showing photos of famous people.14. What can be inferred from the passage? ___A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.B. The sheep's face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at anyangle.C. The sheep's face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.D. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.15. What's the best title of the passage?___A. How Sheep Recognize Human Faces.B. A New Discovery AboutSheep.C. A Scientific Way Of Feeding Sheep.D. The Secret Life of Sheep.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe MacArthur Foundation late last month announced its latest crop of “genius grants”, and once again you thought maybe, just maybe, this was your year.And why not? These days, we’re all geniuses. We might be “marketing geniuses” or “cooking geniuses” or“TV geniuses”. We have so weakened “genius” that it’s fast joining the company of “natural” and “mindful”, words left inactive through overuse and misuse.Admittedly, the word is tough to nail down. Sometimes we assume genius equivalent to raw intelligen ce. But many of humanity’s greatest breakthroughs were achieved by those with only modest IQs.Sometimes we think of the genius as someone extremely knowledgeable, but that definition also falls short. During Albert Einstein’s time, other scientists knew more physics than Einstein did, but history doesn’t remember them. That’s because they didn’t make use of that knowledge the way Einstein did. They weren’t able to, as he put it, “regard old questions from a new angle”.The genius is not a know-it-all but a see-it-all, someone who, working with the material available to all of us, is able to make surprising and useful connections. True genius involves not merely an extra advance, but a conceptual leap. As philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer put it: Talent hits the target no one else can hit; genius hits the target no one else can see.We’ve lost sight of this truth, and too often grant the title of genius on talented people hitting visible targets. A good example is the much-boasted announcement earlier this year that scientists had, for the first time, recorded the sound of two black holes bumping, a billion light-years away. It was a remarkable discovery, no doubt, but it did not represent a dramatic shift in how we understand the universe. It merely confirme d Einstein’s general theory of relativity.As Plato observed, “What is honored in a country is cultivated there.” What do we honor? Digital tech- nology, and the convenience it represents, so naturally we get a Steve Jobs or a Mark Zuckerberg as our “geniuses”, which, in point of fact, they aren’t.The iPhone and Facebook are wonderful inventions. In many ways, they make our lives a bit easier, a bit more convenient. If anything, though, a true genius makes our lives more difficult, more unsettled. Will iam Shakespeare’s words provide more anxiety than relief, and the world felt a bit more secure before Charles Darwin came along. Zuckerberg and Jobs may have changed our world, but they haven’t yet changedour worldview.We need to recover genius, and a good place to start is by putting the brakes on Genius Flooding.1. The key factor that sets geniuses and talents apart is that ________.A. geniuses have a larger range of knowledgeB. geniuses have access to far more resourcesC. geniuses can see visible targetsD. geniuses approach things differently2. What can we infer from the passage?A. Charles Darwin is hardly a genius.B. More geniuses remain to be found in our life.C. We should stop the improper use of “natural” and “mindful”.D. The first recording of two black holes bumping each other is a genius breakthrough.BWhen a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean's surface move up and down violently. These waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, you’d better steer clear of a ship’s wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn.A wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itself — the pattern of motion — is moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wave —the people — are not moving across the stadium, they’re just moving up and down in their seats. This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. If you're not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing, then you can’t surf. Usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waves-waves that rise high off the ocean’s surface. If the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. The height of a wave is known as its amplitude. If you could make a wave freeze, then you could measure the wave’s amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean's surface to the very peak of the wave.All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength. While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude — sometimes as small as a few centimeters — the wavelength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. By contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long wavelength, as it's a high wave.Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. For example, think back to the cruise ship. While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. However, if the ship's engines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. This would cause the waves'amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.3. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear of a cruise ship’s wake” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Keeping awake while steering a ship.B. Keeping away from the cruise ship.C. Getting a clear view of what is ahead.D. Following the cruise ship very closely.4. The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order to ________.A. illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadiumB. demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadiumC. explain why the water appears to move along the wavesD. clear the confusion over measuring the wave's amplitude5. The last paragraph gives us the impression that ________.A. the wave’s amplitude may vary, but its wavelength remain the sameB. measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easyC. the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forwardD. the more powerful the ships'engines are, the higher the waves they generate6. What is this passage mainly about?A. Why people create waves in the stadium.B. What makes the sea water move forwardsC. How waves are created and measured.D. How to steer a cruise ship in the rough seaCA recent New York Times “House and Home” article featured the story of a man who lives in a glass house. Every wall in his home is transparent; he has no walls to hide behind, not even in the bathroom. Of course, he lives in an isolated area, so he doesn’t exactly have neighbors peering in and watching his every move. But he has chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home that allows every action to be seen. He has created his own panopticon of sorts, a place in which everything is in full view of others.The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was des- cribing an idea for how prisons should be designed. The prisoners’ cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middle. All walls facing the center of the circle would be glass. In that way, every prisoner’s cell would be in full view of the guards. The prisoners could do nothing unobserved, but the prisoners would not be able to see the guard tower. They would know they were being watched — or rather, they would know that they could be being watched — but because they could not see the observer, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions.It is common that people behave differently when they know they are being watched. We act differently when we know someone is looking; we act differently when we think someone else might be looking. In these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the way we think we should act when we are being observed by others.In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor for the future. But in many ways, the panopticon is already here. Surveillance cameras are everywhere, and we often don’t even know our actions are being recorded. In fact, the surveillance camera industry is enormous, and these cameras keep getting smaller and smaller to make surveillance easier and more ubiquitous. In addition, we leave a record of everything we do online; our cyber-whereabouts can be tracked and that information used for various purposes. Every time we use a credit card, make a major purchase, answer a survey, apply for a loan, or join a mailing list, our actions are observed and recorded. And most of us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is available to various sources. The scale of information gathering and the scale of exchanging have both expanded so rapidly in the last decade that there are now millions of electronic profiles of individuals existing in cyberspace, profiles that are bought and sold, traded, and often used for important decisions, such as whether or not to grant someone a loan. However, that information is essentially beyond our control. We can do little to stop the information gathering and exchange and can only hope to be able to control the damage if something goes wrong.Something went wrong recently for me. Someone obtained my Social Security number, address, work number and address, and a few other vital pieces of data. That person then applied for a credit account in my name. The application was approved, and I soon received a bill for nearly $5,000 worth of computer-related purchases.Fraud, of course, is a different issue, but this kind of fraud couldn’t happen — or at least, coul dn’t happen with such ease and frequency — in a world of paper-based records. With so muchinformation floating about in cyberspace, and so much technology that can record and observe, our privacy has been deeply compromised.I find it truly amazing that someone would want to live in a transparent house at any time, but especially in an age when individual privacy is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain and defend(against those who argue that information must be gathered for the social good). Or perh aps this man’s house is an attempt to call our attention to the fact that the panopticon is already here, and that we are all just as exposed as he is.7. According to the passage, a panopticon is ________.A. a prison cellB. a place where everything can be seen by othersC. a tower which provides a panoramic viewD. ahouse that is transparent8. The description of how the panopticon would work in a prison implies that the panopticon ________.A. can be an effective tool for social controlB. should be used regularly in public placesC. is not applicable outside of the prisonD. is an effective tool for sharing information9. Why does the author suggest that the panopticon is a metaphor for our society?A. Our privacy is transparent.B. We are all prisoners m our own homes.C. Our actions are constantly observed and recordedD. We are always afraid that someone might be watching us.10. According to the passage, a key difference between prison panopticon and the moderntechnological panopticon is that ________.A. prisoners can see their observers, but we can’tB. prisoners are less informed about privacy issues than technology usersC. prisoners are aware that they may be being watched, but we often don’t even know we are being monitoredD. prisoners are more protected in their panopticon than we are in ours11. Why does the author describe a personal experience with identity theft?A. To show how angry he is about having his privacy invaded.B. To show an example of how private information can be taken and misused.C. To demonstrate a flaw in the panopticon.D. To demonstrate the vast scale of information exchange.12. According to the passage, which of the following would the author probably support?A. Widespread construction of glass houses.B. Greater flexibility in loan approval criteria.C. Modeling prisons after Bentham’s panopticon.D. Stricter regulations for information gathering and exchange.阅读理解:DC BCDC BACCBD任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

BAre you so sure your mistakes are just mistakes? Or could they be building blocks to a success beyond any you imagined?When my friend Dorothy goes home to visit her family each Thanksgiving, her mother serves the traditional “mistake salad”. The dish was born many years ago. Dorothy explains, when mother was using a cookbook to make a salad. In the process, mother accidentally included half the salad ingredients(原料)from a recipe(食谱)on the left side of the open cookbook, and half the ingredients from a different salad recipe on the opposite page. Everyone enjoyed the salad so much that she continue to serve it every year. So it was really not a mistake at all.Then there was the fellow named Alfred, who invented dynamite(炸药). When Alfred’s brother died, the city newspaper confused the two and printed an abituary(讣告)saying that the dead’s most notable act was the creation of bombs. Surprised to consider that his name wouldforever be connected with destruction, Alfred sought to leave a more positive fame to humanity. So he set a prize for people who contributed to world peace. Now the Nobel Prize, established by Alfred Nobel, is the most respected award in the world.Everything is part of something bigger, and mistakes are no exception. In his brilliant book Illusions, Richard Bach explains that every problem comes to you with a gift. If you focus only on what went wrong, you miss the gift. If you are willing to look deeper and ask for the bright, the problem will disappear. You are left only with the learning, and you go forward on your path.4. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?A. the cookbookB. the “mistake salad”C. the recipeD. the ingredient5. Why did Alfred Nobel set an award for those who made great contributions to the world peace?A. Because his brother was dead in an explosionB. Because he wanted people to connect him with peaceC.
