AIn fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs protecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabri is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. Her job is to hac into the most popular web browser （浏览器）on the planet, trying to find weanesses in the system before the “blac hats” do. To defeat Google's attacers, Tabri must firstly thin lie them.Tabri's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started woring at Google. Bac then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime （网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabri's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20, 000 for reported mistaes.班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号It's a world away from Tabri's computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabri had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gae across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women lie Tabri are few and far between（稀少的）--- though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabri first ass new colleagues to hac into not a computer, but a vending machine. Tabri's job is as much about technological now-how（专门知识）as understanding the psychology of attacers.21. What can we learn about Tabri from the passage?A. She was the first female engineer at Google.B. She must thin differently so as to defeat the attacers.C. Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.D. Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.22. Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A. To protect Google against cybercrime.B. To monitor the normal operation of Google.C. To help the government locate the cybercriminals.D. To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.23. What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Imbalance.B. Preference.C. Difference.D. Discrimination.24. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. What leads to cybercrimeB. The “Security Princess” who guards GoogleC. Measures taen by Google to protect its usersD. How to become an ecellent security engineerBThe English have a difficult and, generally speaing, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them.This helps to eplain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of ecellence, such as high-class men’s suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired puns (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It’s true that they all loo different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all loo eccentric eactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she lies, a ind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else’s opinion. Howe ver, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and \ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to tae themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well nown that most teenagers tend to tae themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary blac costumes, certainly loo as if they are taing themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face, deep purple lipstic, and blac parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I ased. “In case you don’t realie I’m a goth.” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.25. What can we now about the English people?A. They need rules to dress well.B. They are in need of uniforms.C. They are creative in general.D. They lead the world trend.26. Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A. A high-class man.B. A parrot-haired pun.C. The Queen.D. The fashion innovator.27. Which of the following can best describe the goths?A. They dress badly.B. They dress in an amusing way.C. They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D. They are less fashionable than the other English people.28. What may be the best title for the tet?A. How the English DressB. How the English Admire FashionC. Why the English Lie UniformsD. Why the English Are Eccentric in DressCNot long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or si months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby lies. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he new the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly lied the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language sills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere(干预) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thining and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language sills andunderstanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression. 29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A. The environment.B. Their peersC. Mother’s sensitivityD. Education before birth30. What is the purpose of the eperiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?A. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are bornB. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babiesC. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language sillsD. To prove that babies can learn before they are born31. Which group of children did the worst in tests of language sills?A. The children of women who did not suffer from depressionB. The children of depressed but caring mothersC. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their childrenD. Children with high communication abilities32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babiesB. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birthC. Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies’ intelligenceD. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or si months oldDOver seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an epansion of the world famous Pana ma Canal. Officials agreed to the epansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal lins two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locs (船闸). The locs are lie steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locs, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to eep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locs, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the bac. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to eep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the epanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had epressed concern about the new system. Many ased for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locs or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the epanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) lie those used in some European locs. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.33. What is the difference between the new locs and the old ones?A. The old locs don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B. The new locs need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C. The new locs are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D. The old locs need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.34. What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the epanded canal?A. Cautious.B. Critical.C. Positive.D. Doubtful.35. What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A. No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B. Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.

AIn fairy tales,it's usually the princess that needs protecting.At Google in Silicon Valley,the princess is the one defending the castle.Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering-“Google Security Princess”.Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser （浏览器）on the planet,trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats”do.To defeat Google's attackers,Tabriz must firstly think like them.Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google.Back then,the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime （网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade -from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft.Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software,and sell the information to governments or criminals.To fight against this,the company has set up a VulnerabilityRewards Program,paying anywhere from $100to $20,000for reported mistakes.It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in Chicago.The daughter of anIranian-American doctor father,and Polish-American nurse mother,Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college.Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between （稀少的）---though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses.She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough,during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a computer,but a vending machine.Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how （专门知识）as understanding the psychology of attackers.21.What can we learn about Tabriz from the passage?A.She was the first female engineer at Google.B.She must think differently so as to defeat the attackers.C.Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.D.Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.22.Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A.To protect Google against cybercrime.B.To monitor the normal operation of Google.C.To help the government locate the cybercriminals.D.To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.23.What does the underlined word “disequilibrium”in Paragraph 4refer to?A.Imbalance.B.Preference.C.Difference.D.Discrimination.24.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A.What leads to cybercrimeB.The “Security Princess”who guards GoogleC.Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD.How to become an excellent security engineerBThe English have a difficult and,generally speaking,dysfunctional (怪异的)relationship withclothes.Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules,and are unable to get along without them.This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly,but with specific areas of excellence,such as high-class men’s suits,ceremonial costumes,and innovative (革新的)street fashion.In other words,we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion”in the category of the uniform.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Surely the parrot-haired punks(朋克摇滚乐迷)or the Victorian vampire goths are being original,not following rules?It’s true that they all look different and eccentric(古怪的)but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.They are wearing a uniform.The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen,who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes,a kind of 1950s fashion,with no regard for anyone else’s opinion.However,it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion.We may not be individually eccentric,apart from the Queen,but we have a sort of collective eccentricity,and\ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another“rule”of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously,to be able to laugh at themselves.However,it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths,in their scary black costumes,certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them,I discovered that they too had a sense of humor.I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face,deep purple lipstick,and black parrot-hair.I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with“Goth”.“Why are you wearing that?”I asked.“In case you don’t realize I’m a goth.”he answered,pretending to be serious.We both burst out laughing.25.What can we know about the English people?A.They need rules to dress well.B.They are in need of uniforms.C.They are creative in general.D.They lead the world trend.26.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A.A high-class man.B.A parrot-haired punk.C.The Queen.D.The fashion innovator.27.Which of the following can best describe the goths?A.They dress badly.B.They dress in an amusing way.C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.28.What may be the best title for the text?A.How the English DressB.How the English Admire FashionC.Why the English Like UniformsD.Why the English Are Eccentric in DressCNot long ago,people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then,they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born,the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way,he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere(干预)unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also,the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring,even when they suffered from depression. 29.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A.The environment.B.Their peersC.Mother’s sensitivitycation before birth30.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?A.To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are bornB.To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babiesC.To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’language skillsD.To prove that babies can learn before they are born31.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?A.The children of women who did not suffer from depressionB.The children of depressed but caring mothersC.The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their childrenD.Children with high communication abilities32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babiesB.Scientific findings about how babies develop before birthC.Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies’intelligenceD.A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months oldDOver seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal.Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships(货船)could easily pass through the canal.Yet the$5.25-billion project has problems.It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the

辽宁省瓦房店市2018届高三下学期第一次模拟英语试题一、阅读选择1.When you're having a hard time with your homework or when you're preparing for your term paper, these student-focused websites can help you with just about anything you need. The key to getting the most out of these online resources is to know how they can best be used to your advantage.FacebookAlthough Facebook can be one of your biggest time-wasters and distractions when you are supposed to be getting work done, it can also be one of your most valuable resources. Most of your classmates will probably have a Facebook account, so anyone you need to connect with about a class you missed or about a problem is usually just a few clicks away. SparkNotesWith a free library of history timeline, philosophy study guides and library summaries, SparkNotes has covered just about any reading-related jam you find yourself in. Just run a search for the book, play, or short summary of the material you are expected to read.Do you finish every term with many expensive textbooks you will never open again? Instead of letting the money spent go to waste, get back some of your cash by selling your bookson Amazon.WikipediaWhile Wikipedia isn't aimed specifically at students, it is difficult to think of another website that does more to reduce the pain of paper writing and researching. Wikipedia gives you a quick way to find sources and get the details of almost any topic you need to research—all without walking to the library.（1）If you have a Facebook account, you ______.A may waste all of your timeB must be experiencing a hard timeC should share your every single ideaD can get your most valuable resources（2）What can NOT be done on any of these websites?A Selling old textbooks.B Preparing for term papers.C Building a library for free.D Turning to classmates for help.（3）Which can be most helpful while you're writing a research report?A Wikipedia.B Facebook.C .D SparkNotes.（4）The passage was mainly written to ______.A explain some websites for parentsB offer some websites to helpstudents C compare some amusement websites D introduce different parts of a website2. BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and yourambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish whatyou hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited unt t moment. Book reportsweren't written until the final threat.I've been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working towards her master's degree inEnglish. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo-tech"student（技校学生）. They're called"motorheads"by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him "`motorhead", I was shocked. "Hey, he's a good kid, " I wanted to say."And smart, really. "I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. Andthey don't often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don'thave the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimatedat$800.``Hey,Icanfixit,"saidJody.Idoubtedit,butlethimgoahead,forIhadnothingtolose.Myson,wi thothermotorheads,fixedthecar.Theygotpartsfromajunkyard,andabilityfromvo - techclasses.Thecostwas$25 instead of $800.Since 'lat first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And theirminds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders.Most important, I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.（1）What used to be the author's hope for his son?A To avoid becoming his clone.B To resemble him in appearanceC To develop in a different direction.D To reach the author's unachieved goals（2）What can we learn about the author's children?A His daughter does better in school.B His daughter has got a master's degree.C His son tried hard to finish homework.D His son couldn't write his book reports.（3）The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ________A his son had the ability to fix itB it would save him much timeC it wouldn't cause him any more lossD other motorheads would come to help（4）What did the author realize in the end?A It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B It is important for one to make the honor roll.C Architects play a more important role than builders..D Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.3.Young sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.Harmer, a professor in the University of Califomia at Davis, Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.The indoor plants did start tracking the "sun" again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours. When sunflowers track the sun, the cast sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher level son the sun ward side of the plant during the day or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone, called auxin, appears to be a key driver.The "dance" to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures（成熟）and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the cast."Bees like warm flowers." Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good."The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day." he said "We're currently testing this idea."（1）Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?A To see how sunflowers grow up.B To show what sunflowers' genes are.C To study why sunflowers track the sun.D To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.（2）What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?A They will produce a number of new genes.B They will grow faster thanusual. C They won't swing back though set free. D They won't grow well.（3）What does the underlined word "hormone" probably mean in Paragraph 5?A Immune systemB proteinC chemical substanceD nutrient（4）What is the advantage of sunflowers' dance to the sun?A They attract more insects.B They save more energy.C They mature more rapidly.D They produce more flowers.4.A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others. Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) , led a team of 65scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyses blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says，"You get people who are vegan, sleep 10hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young, ’Horvath said in a statement.‘ We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age. "The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that " this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."（1）Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because________．A their biological clock is not powerful enough．B the most definitive evidence has bee n found．C they have a higher actual age than others．D they ages at a relatively fa ster biological rate．（2）How was the study conducted？________A By collecting and analyzing data．B By interviewing lots of people．C By researc hing previous studies．D By studying different lifestyles．（3）According to the study，it can be inferred that________．A people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer．B people's lifespan can be predi cted by their age．C 5percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate．D anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate．（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？________A We all should keep healthy lifestyle．B Geneticist finds anti-aging interventions． C Biological clock predicts life expectancy． D Horvath builds an important milestone．二、七选五5.
