高考题型提能练五 Unit 5 RhythmⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·河南省六校联考)Food is always the best weapon to fight against time rather than using cosmetics and health products. The food on the following list will help you to keep fit, maintain a healthy heart, increase immunity and spend everyday happily.Avoid Memory LossFresh cheese will contribute to memory improvement because of its linoleic acid. It is also good for your bones due to the high calcium level. Eggs, milk, whole wheat bread, peanut butter, green pepper, cauliflower, pork liver and oysters are also good for your memory. A cup of red wine everyday is good for the nerve cells.Fight Against FatChoosing the right food is an easy way to keep fit, like eating tuna fish, which is low in sugar and fat and also has few calories. Furthermore, it contains a variety of high quality protein and other nutrients, and it tastes good. Rich in iron, it is especially good for young women. Tuna fish is considered to be a great source of protein. Eating 85 grams of tuna fish will provide you with 20 grams of protein; therefore you don't have to worry about gaining weight when you eat it. Eating tuna fish is definitely a good choice to help keep fit.Clean BloodBreakfast with bread and honey is a wise choice for women. And the darker the honey, the better it is for you. According to research, dark honey is the best protection for human cells as it contains abundant elements with antioxidant functions. The elements found in honey will help clean your blood and prevent cardiac and cerebral diseases. If you like to exercise in the winter, you should eat more honey. The carbohydrates in honey w ill maintain your blood sugar level.Increase ImmunityOranges contain the most vitamin C, 30 percent more than other kinds of fruit. The simplest and most effective way to prevent winter colds is to eat oranges. 1 or 2 oranges a day will satisfy the body's demand for vitamin C.Young HeartFlavonol in broccoli florets can make people stronger and prevent cancer. Research conducted on 34,000 women revealed that flavonol can protect the heart and lower myocardial infraction from happening by a rate of 15-20 percent. However, flavonol in other plants such as tea or apples do not have this ability. Other than broccoli florets, walnuts are also good for the heart as they contain unsaturated fatty acid.Breast ProtectionAccording to latest US research, the risk of breast cancer in women who eat an egg everyday is 18 percent lower than those who don't eat eggs. Swedish scientists have found that rye has the same function as it has the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.Maintain Your YouthNot everyone likes peanut butter, but no one should neglect it because of its strong antioxidation functions that come from the vitamin E it contains. It is al so good energy food. Unsaturated fatty acid in peanut butter can help people feel full and the carbohydrates in it can give people greater physical strength and vigor.1.Who will pay much attention to this passage?A.Those who are suffering diseases.B.Those who are intended to keep fit and stay beautiful.C.Those who are in need of advice on health.D.Those who are old and in bad condition.2.Which statement is TRUE?A.Only eggs, milk, whole wheat bread, peanut butter are good for your memory.B.Fresh cheese is also good for your bones due to its linoleic acid.C.A cup of red wine everyday can avoid memory loss.D.Containing a variety of high quality protein and other nutrients, Tuna fish doesn't taste good.3.If you want to clean your blood, what should you take in?A.Whole wheat bread.B.Honey.C.Tea.D.Oranges.4.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A.All of us don't like peanut butter though we can't neglect it.B.Eating an egg every day can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.C.Peanut butter isn't popular because it is good energy food.D.The more eggs, the less risk of breast cancer.B(2016·银川一中模拟)As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safer. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than ten years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn'tbe able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky;a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contributions to light pollution.5.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A.reducing the output of the lightsB.avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingcating people about light pollutionD.inventing environmentallyfriend ly lights6.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A.Many animals species have died out.B.More traffic accidents happen every day.C.The air we breathe may be polluted.D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.7.What can be inferred from the text?A.We are almost at a loss about how to deal with light pollution.B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C.Astronauts can't see clearly in space nowadays.D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.8.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.C.Benefits of searching on Google.D.More bad effects of light pollution.C(2016·延安模拟) Graham and his friends preferred to shoot_up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn't know how to save her son.“Once, after he'd disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend's house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone.I don't know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station.Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs.If I hadn't gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession.Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement (强制执行) to keep track of youthrelated crimes so it can help families in trouble.Following a counselor's advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana.“I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn't done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he's grown close to Wendy once again.“I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that's a miracle.I guess she is right.”9.The underl ined phrase “shoot up” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.increase very quickly and suddenlyB.put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC.kill or injure someone by using a gunD.try to achieve a particular aim10.When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham ________.A.had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitementB.was sleeping in a high bed above the groundC.had just taken drugs and was in the state of sufferingD.was quarrelling with his mother11.What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A.Graham is still using drugs now.B.Graham hates his mother very much.C.Graham thinks he can't be saved.D.Graham has come off drugs now.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·新疆维吾尔自治区适应性检测)How to Take Notes in ClassAs you progress from high school to college and into graduate school, you'll find that your lectures can get much more complex.

You may be 26 to follow trends(潮流)in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about 27 as you do.A recent survey among high school 28 in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that 29 teenagers care more about their appearance than young peoplein the US.This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were 30 about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 percent, cared most about their looks. They were 31 by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 percent.“The different results show 32 of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He explained that in the US there are many different 33 of beauty, so teens are more 34 to be confident about their appearance.US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed in the 35 . About 85 percent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 percent.What’s 36 , US students showed more individuality, with 88 percent 37that “people should follow their own interests rather than 38 of others”.This is much 39 than South Korea’s 69 percent, China’s 49 and Japan’s 48.Japanese students, at 52 percent, are most dissatisfied with modern society.

II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A Chinese civilian unmanned airship un-intendedly entered US airspace last week due to force majeure and was shot down by the US military on Saturday. For days, US politicians and media have hyped up this incident, claiming it was a spy in the sky. Is this a part of China's surveillance program or an accidental incident overplayed by US politicians and media to smear China?Last Friday, China confirmed that the airship was from China, noting that it was an unitended entry caused by force majeure. According to a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, the balloon was a civilian airship used mainly for meteorological research that went off __21__ planned course due to winds and had limited self-steering capability. __22__ the US spotted the airship, the Chinese side informed the US side of the civilian nature of the airship and conveyed that its entry into the US was unexpected. China has actively communicated with the US and worked with the US to properly handle this unexpected situation in a calm, professional, and __23__ (restrain) manner.It is not the first time in the world that balloons for scientific research __24__ (go) out of control. In 1998, a Canadian weather balloon - __25__ (conduct) scientific research for the Canadian Space Agency, Environment Canada, and the University of Denver in the US - went rogue due to a technical malfunction. The balloon failed to come down as planned and drifted across Canada toward the Atlantic Ocean. The balloons drifted in the sky for nine days, __26__ (enter) many countries' airspace, and finally landed on Finland's Mariehamn Island. The current Chinese balloon is a similar style to the Canadian balloon.According to __27__ US official, the balloon's payload - the part under the balloon - is the size of two or three school buses. If the balloon is __28__ the US claimed as "part of an espionage program," it didn't make sense for China to choose such a giant balloon visible to civilians with the naked eye __29__ the US side would easily detect. Also, the US senior defense official acknowledged that the balloon "never posed a military or physical threat to the American people."It is not the first time the US side has made groundless accusations __30__ China of spying. However, the US never provided any substantial evidence to prove their suspicion. As a responsible country, China strictly adheres to international law and respects other countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need."Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity," wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a garment's journey.That model is almost __31__ in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month, often at pocket-money prices; though the low cost is a godsend for the hard-up, many purchases are discarded after a few outings, or never worn at all. Clothes Aid reports that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothing goes to landfill in the UK each year.Yet a gradual revival of the secondhand trade has gathered pace in the last years. At fashion website Asos, vintage sales have risen by 92%. It was once worn out of __32__; then it became the quirky choice of Jarvis Cocker-style misfits and the label of "vintage" gave it cachet. Now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell cast-off items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and fashionistas offer designer labels on V estiaire Collective. __33__, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers want a slice of the action. Cos, owned by H&M, has launched a resale service on its website. Selfridges already has a vintage channel. Asda announced last week that it would sell secondhand clothing in 50 supermarkets, following a successful __34__ project.For some buyers and sellers, the __35__ to secondhand is born of pandemic-induced financial need. Others have become queasy at working conditions in factories, or the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. One concern is that mainstream brands may "__36__" - using relatively small volumes of secondhand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability. Another worry is that good causes are losing out as people trade rather than __37__ unwanted clothes. The biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the buzz of the next purchase but with a(n) __38__ conscience and healthier bank balance.A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional resonance that clothes can have, each item "a memoir in miniature", writes Emily Spivack, whose book gave rise to the show. A handbag from a grandmother; a scarf passed on by a father, garment that made people feel confident in their first job - almost everyone has at least one item they cherish. Perhaps we could cultivate such __39__. A love of style is not a bad or trivial thing. But a(n) __40__ relationship is better than a quick fling. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as other people's? III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sounds of Mars wind captured by Nasa's InSight landerThe sound of the wind on Mars has been captured for the first time by Nasa's InSight lander, which was __41__ to Mars and touched down on the red planet 10 days ago.The agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) __42__ a piece of processed audio of the alien wind on Friday evening. InSight collected the low-frequency rumblings during its first week of operations.The wind is __43__ to be blowing at between 10 and 15 mph. These are the first sounds from Mars that are __44__ by human ears, according to the researchers."Capturing this audio was an unplanned __45__," said Bruce Banerdt, the InSight principal investigator at Nasa's lab in California. "But one of the things our mission is __46__ to is measuring motion on Mars and naturally that includes motion caused by sound waves."Nasa presented the sounds at a news conference on Friday. Cornell University's Don Banfield told reporters they __47__ him of "sitting outside on a windy summer afternoon ... in some sense, this is what it would sound as if you were sitting on the InSight lander on Mars."Scientists involved in the project said the sound has a thought-provoking, quality. Thomas Pike of Imperial College London said the rumbling was "rather different to anything that we've experienced on Earth, and I think it just gives us another way of __48__ how far away we are getting these signals."The noise is of the wind blowing against InSight's solar panels and the resulting vibration of the entire spacecraft. The sounds were __49__ by an air pressure sensor inside the lander that is part of a weather station, as well as the seismometer(地震仪)on the deck of the spacecraft.The low frequencies are a result of Mars' very thin air __50__, which is almost entirely made up of carbon dioxide, and, even more so, the seismometer itself, which is meant to detect underground seismic waves that are well below the threshold of human hearing. The seismometer will be moved to the Martian surface in the coming weeks. Until then, the team plans to record more wind noise.The 1976 Viking landers on Mars __51__ spacecraft shaking caused by wind, but it would be a(n) __52__ to consider it sound, said Banerdt.InSight landed on Mars on 26 November. "We're all still on a high from the landing last week ... and here we are less than two weeks after landing, and we've already got some amazing new science," said Nasa's Lori Glaze, the acting director of __53__ science. "It's cool. It's fun."On the surface of Mars, InSight will draw on a suite of instruments to study the planet's internal structure. A seismometer deployed by a robot arm will act as a(n) __54__ to the ground and listen for tremors produced when subterranean rock faces slip past one another along geological fault-lines(断层线). Scientists expect InSight to record anything from a dozen to 100 Marsquakes of magnitude 3.5 or greater over the lander's two-year mission. The seismometer is so __55__ that it can detect vibrations smaller than the width of an atom.41. A. transferred B. launched C. delivered D. orbited42.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(C)Alan Jamieson remembers seeing it for the first time: a small, black fiber floating in liquid. It resembled a hair, but when Jamieson examined it under a microscope, he realized that the fiber was clearly synthetic -- a piece of plastic. And worryingly, his student Lauren Brooks had pulled it from the gut of a small amphipod living in one of the deepest parts of the ocean.For the past decade, Jamieson, a marine biologist at Newcastle University, has been sending vehicles to the bottom of marine trenches(海沟), which can be as deep as the Himalayas are tall. These landers have collected amphipods -- scavenger relatives of crabs and shrimp that thrive in the abyss. Jamieson originally wanted to know how these animals differ from one distant trench to another. But a few years ago, he decided to analyze their body for toxic, human-made pollutants, which have been banned for decades but which persist in nature for much longer.The team found much PCBs(多氯联苯). Some amphipods were carrying levels 50 times higher than those seen in crabs from one of China's most polluted rivers. When the news broke, Jamieson received calls from journalists and concerned citizens. And in every discussion, one question kept coming up: What about plastics?The world produces an estimated 10 tons of plastic a second, and between 5 million and 14 million tons sweep into the oceans every year. Some of them washes up on beaches. About 5 trillion pieces currently float in surface waters, mostly in the form of tiny, easy-to-swallow fragments that ends up in the gut of albatrosses, sea turtles, plankton, fish, and whales. But those pieces also sink, snowing into the deep sea and upon the amphipods that live there."It's not a good result," Jamieson said. "I don't like doing this type of work." When he submitted his findings to a scientific journal, the researchers who reviewed the paper reasonably asked how he could tell that the fibers were actually plastic. "Our response was, 'Some of it'spurple!'" Jamieson says."There's bits of pink in there. This doesn't come from animals." To satisfy the critics, his team chemically analyzed a subset of the fibers and found that all of it was synthetic.Other scientists have also found plastic litter in the deep: just last year, one team documented a plastic bag at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Until now, no one had shown that abyssal animals were actually eating those fragments, but it seems obvious that amphipods would. When a morsel(食物碎屑)hits the ocean floor, amphipods turn up in droves.Food is scarce in the deep, so amphipods eat pretty much anything, which makes them particularly vulnerable to plastics. And since they sit at the bottom of the ocean food webs, t heir appetite can upset entire ecosystems. "They're like bags of peanuts," Jamieson says, "Everything else eats amphipods -- shrimp, fish -- and they'll end up consuming plastics, too. And when the fish die, they get consumed by amphipods, and it goes round and round in circles.""I imagine pollution in the Mariana Trench is an abstract concept for most people, but for those of us living in the Mariana Islands this has consequences for what ends up on our dinner plates," says Angelo Villagomez, from the Mariana Islands who works for the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project. "So what can we do? The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recommends we protect 30 percent of every marine habitat to address human impacts, but that will only help if we're also sustainably managing the remaining 70 percent, reducing carbon emissions, and limiting the pollution being dumped in the ocean in the first place."63. The underlined word "abyss" in the passage is closest in meaning to _________?A. bottomless holeB. high peakC. distant areaD. endless pain64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Amphipods begin to produce fibers due to marine pollution.B. Jamieson ended up knowing the difference between animals in different trenches.C. Jamieson has proved the fibers they found were generated by humans.D. Amphipods consume almost everything in oceans and often attack other creatures.65. By saying "their appetite can upset entire ecosystems", the author means _________?A. Amphipods consuming too much marine resources affect the balance of nature.B. Amphipods can produce chain effects since they are food resources of others.C. Amphipods have occupied a lot of ocean space because of their appetite.D. Amphipods' habitat should be protected so as to address human impacts.66. Which of the following can be the best title of passage?A. Amphipods threatened by plastic litterB. Marine pollution - a big problemC. The disturbed ecosystem in the seaD. Most troubling discovery in the deepest ocean.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need."The greatest scientists are artists as well," said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. (67) _________ As he told one friend, "When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I find that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge. All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.But how did art differ from science for Einstein? Surprisingly, it wasn't the content of an of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea impressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. (68) _________ That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics conference in Kyoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his problems and found words, logical symbols or mathematical equations later.(69) _________ "If I were not a physicist," he once said, "I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music. Whenever I feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work, I would bury myself in music, and that would usually solve all my difficulties."Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial and structural aspects. "The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition. My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. (70) _________" said Einstein.第II卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.

Why Do Chinese Parents Prefer Legos to Barbies?Budding engineers cluster around a table-sized model of the China Art Museum, a landmark of Shanghai, adding helipads, carrot patches and other improvements with colorful bricks. Prising a child from Lego's vast shop near People's Square can be like un-sticking two stubborn bits of Lego. Li Yang, visiting for a few days from Shenzhen, has been waiting for her daughter for twohours. Zhu Yunfei, watching his son, marvels at the variety: "Coming here to play with him is making up for my childhood," he says. They drop by every week.Lego's rise in China has been rapid and dramatic. In 2017 it overtook Alpha Group, a local giant, to become the country's leading toy company (not including video games). In the past two years it has opened 89 stores. It wants 50 more by December, which will bring it to 30 cities. Its first Chinese factory started molding bricks in 2016. The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm's Chinese arm notches up "very strong double digits," says Paul Huang, its boss.It has done so even as the brick maker's global business has looked shakier. In 2017 Lego cut 1,400 jobs and recorded its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each. Lego has thus retained its status as the world's biggest toy-maker, taken from Mattel in 2014 -- even as its American rival last year earned its highest revenues in five years from its Barbie dolls.Newly affluent parents in China have helped Lego recover. "We have not maxed out there, by far," says Niels Christiansen, whom Lego brought in as chief executive two years ago. As in the West, the educational merits of bricks appeal to Chinese parents. Last year 98% of those surveyed Lego said that play was essential for their child's well-being, even more than Americans and Danes.V.

We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness," she said,"Our Out of Poverty program is not just about money. It's about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor ... you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless." The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility."l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it," said shelter resident Lewis Webster.

Each word can only beThere are currently more than 500,000 pieces of space junk being tracked as they circle Earth. Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, __31__ satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth.Tiangong-1 was China's first space station. It was __32__ in 2011, but the country lost contact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide __33__ would return to Earth.At the moment, scientists don't know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planet's atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is no need to worry, though. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little __34__ that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere - a(n) __35__ of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in water, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall __36__ into the sea.As the __37__ landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and __38__. A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the US government about space travel, said, "In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by __39__ space debris(残留物)."One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone __40__ enough to see it.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all sub-sidise(补贴)tuition - in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and __41__ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are __42__.Spending on universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes,__44__ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage__45__ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best __46__ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so __47__, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants.Non-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent work.In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education __49__ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and __50__ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are __51__, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being __52__ about the probable value of university.Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own __53__ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their __54__.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent.In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had anew national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields - children shouting at play; and women bent double - most with infants on their backs - hoeing(锄地)the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.The Swahili word safari means 'journey', it has nothing to do with animals, someone 'on safari' is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition.Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalisation that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons - in a spirit of discover - simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me.Home had become a routine, and routine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated .. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you.56. What did the writer expect from his journey?A. To have a variety of enjoyable experiences.B. To see how Africa had changed.C. To see impressive scenery.D. To meet some old friend.57. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?A. Little was likely to change.B. Things were likely to improve.C. Women would do most of the work.D. People's expectations were too limited.58. In paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?A. He wanted a change of activity.B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him.C. His health was suffering from staying at home.D. He had been waiting to return to Africa for long.59. The writer says 'I was a sitting duck' in paragraph 5 to show that _________.A. he was boringB. he was easy to findC. he had a fixed lifestyleD. he was always lending money(B)The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne's reign(统治期).A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical(不对称的). If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch(门廊)that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house.Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Annehouses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago.60. Why does the author use the word "curious" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name of an American style?A. The style was invented before Queen Anne's reign.B. The style was more popular in Victorian England.C. The name was accidentally misspelled.D. The name did not originate in America.61. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about the Queen Anne style?A. It was not very popular.B. It had to be build in the city.C. It combined several other styles.D. It was elaborate and fancily decorated.62. According to passage, why did Queen Anne houses go out of style?A. People started moving to the suburbs.B. People came to see them as a symbol of the past.C. People were more interested in newer house styles.D. People could no longer afford to build such large houses.(C)What will the development of quantum computers(量子计算机)mean for our civilisations? Oh sure, better cryptography(密码方式), "more powerful" processing, but bottom line, we just don't know ... yet.This phenomenon isn't unique to quantum computing, of course. It's something we see time and gain with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, it's how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees it's going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity.There's a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the "barriers between creator and audience". The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modern. Concepts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at.Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn't "fit" down the inter-tubes of the day.Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your browser, today Nexflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection.Quantum computing isn't a consumer technology, of course. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor(电子晶体). Sure, most people have heard of it, but few understand it. Actually, we don't even really understand it. But we're reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of "hit it with a hammer until it works". Sure the hammer is microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we're going through the process of turning the idea into reality.Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.63. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A. Optimistic.B. Unconcerned.C. Doubtful.D. Defensive.64. The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ________.A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB. the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictableD. the internet inspired many debates in the following years65. By "hit it with a hammer until it works", the writer means that quantum computing ________.A. has been questionedB. has been fully understoodC. hasn't been heard of beforeD. hasn't been applied to practice66. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A. Its development is a gradual process.B. Most is the brainchild of a scientist.C. Not all is accessible to the public.D. Its future is often a top secret.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, from providers to patients and from doctors to data. ________67________ Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients - access to your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical programmes.________68________ One is better diagnosis. Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical grade monitor that will detect arrhythmias(心律失常). Apps are trying to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease. Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analysed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.A second benefit lies in the management of complex diseases. Diabetes(糖尿病)apps can change the way patients cope, by monitoring blood-glucose levels and food intake, potentially reducing long-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans to seek regulatory approval for a video game designed to stimulate an area of the brain implicated in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.________69________ Although health records are increasingly electronic, many still contain data that machines cannot read. This can lead to delays in treatment, or worse. Many of the 250,000 death in America owed to medical error each year can be traced to poorly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid out its plans to ask organisations to let patients use their smartphones to download their own medical records.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Change Is Needed In Youth SportsEverywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting younger and younger. Children can even compete on basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. The youth soccer organization has teams for children asyoung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four, to prepare children for competition.It's true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of our national Olympic teams. But what about the others - the average kids? This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. A survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sport. But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport - for fun.Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don't even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard.The third, the biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have fun, be with friends - in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. Researchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. Many of them completely lose interest in sports. Excessive competition takes away all the enjoyment.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 对进口设备的禁令还未取消。

improvement requires attention and effort sounds logical enough.But what does deliberatepractice actually look like in the real world?The first effective feedback system is___51___.This holds true for

passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best accordingto the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A traffic jam when you’re already late.A free ride when you’ve already paid.The fact that the King James Bible is the most shoplifted book in the United States.One of these three things is an example of irony—the reversal of what is expected or intended.The other twoare not.The difference between them may be one of the most curious linguistic(语言学的)misunderstandingsyou’re likely to encounter.“Ironic”does not,technically,mean“unfortunate,”“interesting,”or“coincidental,”despitethese terms often being used interchangeably.And that frequent misuse has not escaped linguists(语言学家);according to the editors at ,“We estimate that ironic might be the most abused word in the Englishlanguage.”So what does irony really mean and where does the confusion come from?Part of the ambiguity probably originates from the fact that there are no fewer than three definitions of irony depending on which dictionary youuse.There’s Socratic irony(an ancient dialogue move),and dramatic irony(an ancient theatrical move),but thedefinition of irony we care about is situational irony.Situational irony occurs when,as the Oxford EnglishDictionary defines it,“a state of affairs or an event…seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is oftenslightly amusing as a result.”The trick,is the deliberately contrary part—for a situation to be ironic,it must be the opposite of what is expected, not merely an amusing coincidence.A traffic jam when you’re already late may be an undesirable coincidence,butit is not the opposite outcome one would expect when leaving for work late.Instead,College Humor writer PatrickCassels corrects the situation like this:“A traffic jam when you’re already late to receive an award from the MuncipalPlanning Board for reducing the city’s automobile congestion by80percent.”Now that’s irony.56.The common misunderstanding of the word“ironic”is that_____.A.it describes something unlucky,amusing or coincidentalB.it shows something that is opposite to what is expected or intendedC.it means unfortunate,interesting and coincidental at the same timeD.it is not the most abused word in the English language57.The underlined word“ambiguity”means______.A.distinctionB.understandingC.uncertaintyD.issue58.Which following situation can be described as“ironic”according to the above passage?A.John was supposed to enjoy a free ride but actually he had paid for it before.B.Alexander Bell invented the telephone,but refused to keep one in his study for fear of distraction.C.Y ou had planned a perfect wedding and invited all the important people,when it started to rain.D.McDonalds’employee warned against eating Kentucky Fried Chicken burgers and fries.59.What will be the best title for the passage?A.An Unexpected Traffic JamB.The Most Misused Word in EnglishC.Why Is the Word Irony MisusedD.Curious Linguists Settled Another Misunderstanding(B)60.In Fabric&Styles,which item leaves you with the least personal choice?A.FabricB.Fly StyleC.Pocket StyleD.Thread Color61.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in yourorder.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed,nothing can be done to fix the situation.C.Before payment,you’d better check your order in detail and can still make modifications if necessary.D.Y ou will have to wash your jeans upon receipt,because they don’t fit perfectly until they shrink a little afterwashing.62.If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October12,you will receive your jeans no laterthan______.A.Oct.21B.Oct.26C.Nov.16D.Nov.20(C)Social norms of right and wrong are vital to a well-functioning society.However,such moral standards are changeable and the psychological mechanisms(机制)driving this change are unknown.Now,researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that our view of selfish and unselfish behaviors changes depending on how common they are.The results are based on a combination of behavioral experiments,mathematical models and computer simulations.In the experiments,the participants first observed other people’s behavior in a so-called“public goodsgame”,in which players receive a sum of money and then choose either to invest it to varying degrees so that itbenefits everyone in the group,or to keep it for themselves.After every round,the participants were asked to judgethe different choices as morally right or wrong,and whether the choices ought to be punished with a reduction inhow much the players gained.Uselfish behavior was considered more morally right than selfish,but both behaviors were judged to be more Moral and less deserving of punishment if the majority exhibited them than if they were uncommon.The Commonness of the selfish behavior also affected the participants’willingness to themselves pay to punish selfishness.“Tolerance of selfish behavior increased when the majority of the players kept the money for themselves,which surprised me,”says principal investigator Andreas Olsson,senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet’s Department ofClinical Neuroscience.“The fact that a behavior is common doesn’t automatically mean that it’s right—this idea isbased on faulty logical that confuses facts with moral values.”The study shows our view of what is morally right and wrong has strong similarities with social conformity,in that we tend to adapt ourselves to the people around us and how they behave.This means that changes in our social environment can quickly alter our moral compass.“This is interesting from several angles,and could explain why normal attitudes change over time,such asthose towards public goods or legality,”says Bjorn Lindstrom,postdoc at University of Zurich and Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.63.According to Andreas Olsson’s analysis,if people accept selfish behavior,they actually_____.A.get facts and moral values mixed upB.misunderstand social mechanismsC.follow the logic of their ownD.consider it correct and reasonable64.It can be concluded that the participants in the experiments are punished if_____.A.they can’t play“public goods game”B.invest the money to benefit group membersC.they behave differently from the majorityD.they keep the money for themselves65.According to the passage,what is morally right or wrong is shaped by the following Expert___.A.the way people around us behaveB.changes in our social environmentC.personal standards of values and attitudesD.how widespread a particular behavior is66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The psychological mechanisms behind attitude changeB.Behavior is considered more moral the more common it isC.Our view of selfish and unselfish behaviorsD.Moral standards of selfish and unselfish behaviorsSection CDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank.Thereare two extra statements,which you do not need.FIVE W A YS TO KILL YOUR DREAMSI dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams.When we think about the dreams we have,and the footprint we want to leave in the universe,it is striking to see how big of an overlap thereis between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.So I’m here to talk to you today about five wayshow not to follow your dreams.One:___67___.Y ou know the story,right?The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.Y ou knowthe story may seem real,but I bet it’s incomplete.If you go investigate further,the guy has done30apps before andhe has done a master’s on the topic,a Ph.D.He has been working on the topic for20years.This is really interesting.I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.I come from a humble family,and twoweeks before the deadline to apply to MIT,I started the application process.And,voila!I got in.People may thinkit’s an overnight success,but that only worked because for the17years prior to that,I took life and education seriously.You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.Two:Believe someone else has the answers for you.Constantly,people want to help out,right?All sorts of people:your family,your friends,your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take:“And let me tell you,go through this pipe.”But wheneveryou go inside,there are other ways you have to pick as well.And you need to make those decisions yourself.___68___.And you need to keep picking those decisions,right?The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bumpyour head,and it’s a part of process.Three:Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.So when your life is going great,you have put together a great team,and you have growing revenue,and everything is set—time to settle.When I launched my first book,I worked really,really hard to distribute iteverywhere in Brazil.With that over three million people downloaded it,over50,000people bought physical copies.When I wrote a sequel,some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little,sales would be okay.But okay is neverokay.When you’re growing towards a peak,you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.Maybe if I did little,a couple hundred thousand people would read it,and that’s great already.But if I work harderthan ever,I can bring this number up to millions.That’s why I decided,with my new book,to go to every singlestate of Brazil.And I can already see a higher peak.There’s no time to settle down.Four:Blame others for the fault.I constantly see people saying,“Y es,I had this great idea,but no investor had the vision to invest.”“Oh,I created this great product,but the market is so bad,the sales didn’t go well.”or“I can’t find good talent,my team is sobelow expectations.”___69___.Yes,it.May be hard to find talent.Yes,the market may be bad.But if no oneinvested in your idea,if no one bought your product,for sure,there is something there that is your fault.Definitely.You need to get your dreams and make them happen.And no one achieved their goals alone.But if you didn’t makethem happen,it’s your fault and no one else’s.Be responsible for your dreams.Five:Only pay attention to the dreams themselvles.Once I saw an ad,and it was a lot of friends,they were going up a mountain,it was a very high mountain and it was a lot of work.You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.And they were going up,and theyfinally made it to the peak.Of course,they decided to celebrate,right?I’m going to celebrate,so,“Yes!We madeit,we’re at the top!”Two seconds later,one looks at the other and says,“Okay,let’s go down.”Life is never aboutthe goals themselves.Life is about the journey.Yes,you should enjoy the goals themselves,but people think thatyou have dreams,and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,it’s a magical place where happiness willbe all around.___70___.The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of yourjourney.That’s the best way.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage andhow it is e your own words as far as possible.It is university true that all parents in the world love their children.However,as parents'views of life vary,they show their love in different ways.The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered.They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe.Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question.With a firmbelief in their own philosophy of life,they have litter respect for others'opinions,least of all,their children's.Thesentence they say most frequently to their children is,“Y ou should do this.”Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time.Theyare soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish,and cheerfully run to buy anythingtheir children ask for.They are happy so long as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love meanssacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,The friends-type parents,as the term implies,treat their Children as friends.They are generous and wise.Like good friends,they discuss with their children the latest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentivelyto their children's expression of emotion,whether it is anger,fear,joy or sorrow.They have a close relationship withtheir children while sticking to their principled stand.They discuss problems with their children rather than provideready solution.They respect their children as their equals.They often say:“Let's put our heads together and seewhat we can do.”There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents,for a free,friendly,and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind.All parentsshould re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow uphappily and healthily.第二卷Ⅴ.Translation.Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

位敦市安定阳光实验学校高考保分巩固练五限时50分钟Ⅰ. 阅读理解Studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song. ”“Honey, you don’t look fat in that, no. ”But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do about other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you’re married, you’re going to lie to your wife/husband in one out of every 10 communicatio ns. If you’re unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it’s because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying’s a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we’re willing to lie for the sake of social dignity(尊严), maybe to keep a private secret.Lying is complex. It’s woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don’t unders tand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species is, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff(虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie out right and try to control via flattery(讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. By the time you enter college, you’re going to lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions. By the time we enter this work world to be breadwi nners, we’ve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, —in short, a post-truth society.What do you do? Well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. There’re no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques.【文章大意】这是生活类文章阅读。
入舵市安恙阳光实验学校高考题型提能练五Unit 5 RhythmⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·六校联考)Food is always the best weapon to fight against time rather than using cosmetics and health products. The food on the following list will help you to keep fit, maintain a healthy heart, increase immunity and spend everyday happily.Avoid Memory LossFresh cheese will contribute to memory improvement because of its linoleic acid. It is also good for your bones due to the high calcium level. Eggs, milk, whole wheat bread, peanut butter, green pepper, cauliflower, pork liver and oysters are also good for your memory. A cup of red wine everyday is good for the nerve cells.Fight Against FatChoosing the right food is an easy way to keep fit, like eating tuna fish, which is low in sugar and fat and also has few calories. Furthermore, it contains a variety of high quality protein and other nutrients, and it tastes good. Rich in iron, it is especially good for young women. Tuna fish is considered to be a great source of protein. Eating 85 grams of tuna fish will provide you with 20 grams of protein; therefore you don't have to worry about gaining weight when you eat it. Eating tuna fish is definitely a good choice to help keep fit.Clean BloodBreakfast with bread and honey is a wise choice for women. And the darker the honey, the better it is for you. According to research, dark honey is the best protection for human cells as it contains abundant elements with antioxidant functions. The elements found in honey will help clean your blood and prevent cardiac and cerebral diseases. If you like to exercise in the winter, you should eat more honey. The carbohydrates in honey will maintain your blood sugar level.Increase ImmunityOranges contain the most vitamin C, 30 percent more than other kinds of fruit. The simplest and most effective way to prevent winter colds is to eat oranges. 1 or 2 oranges a day will satisfy the body's demand for vitamin C.Young HeartFlavonol in broccoli florets can make people stronger and prevent cancer. Research conducted on 34,000 women revealed that flavonol can protect the heart and lower myocardial infraction from happening by a rate of 15-20 percent. However, flavonol in other plants such as tea or apples do not have this ability. Other than broccoli florets, walnuts are also good for the heart as they contain unsaturated fatty acid.Breast ProtectionAccording to latest US research, the risk of breast cancer in women who eat an egg everyday is 18 percent lower than those who don't eat eggs. Swedish scientists have found that rye has the same function as it has the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.Maintain Your YouthNot everyone likes peanut butter, but no one should neglect it because of its strong antioxidation functions that come from the vitamin E it contains. It is also good energy food. Unsaturated fatty acid in peanut butter can help people feel full and the carbohydrates in it can give people greater physical strength and vigor.1.Who will pay much attention to this passage?A.Those who are suffering diseases.B.Those who are intended to keep fit and stay beautiful.C.Those who are in need of advice on health.D.Those who are old and in bad condition.2.Which statement is TRUE?A.Only eggs, milk, whole wheat bread, peanut butter are good for your memory.B.Fresh cheese is also good for your bones due to its linoleic acid.C.A cup of red wine everyday can avoid memory loss.D.Containing a variety of high quality protein and other nutrients, Tuna fish doesn't taste good.3.If you want to clean your blood, what should you take in?A.Whole wheat bread.B.Honey.C.Tea.D.Oranges.4.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A.All of us don't like peanut butter though we can't neglect it.B.Eating an egg every day can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.C.Peanut butter isn't popular because it is good energy food.D.The more eggs, the less risk of breast cancer.B(2016·银川一中模拟)As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safer. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than ten years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky; a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contributions to light pollution.5.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A.reducing the output of the lightsB.avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingcating people about light pollutionD.inventing environmenta llyfriendly lights6.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A.Many animals species have died out.B.More traffic accidents happen every day.C.The air we breathe may be polluted.D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.7.What can be inferred from the text?A.We are almost at a loss about how to deal with light pollution.B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C.Astronauts can't see clearly in space nowadays.D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.8.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.C.Benefits of searching on Google.D.More bad effects of light pollution.C(2016·模拟) Graham and his friends preferred to shoot_up in theirarms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn't know how to save her son.“Once, af ter he'd disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend's house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone.I don't know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station.Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs.If I hadn't gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession.Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement (强制执行) to keep track ofyouthrelated crimes so it can help families in trouble.Following a counselor's advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana.“I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn't done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he's grown close to Wendy once again.“I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that's a miracle. I guess she is right.”9.Th e underlined phrase “shoot up” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.increase very quickly and suddenlyB.put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC.kill or injure someone by using a gunD.try to achieve a particular aim10.When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham ________.A.had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitementB.was sleeping in a high bed above the groundC.had just taken drugs and was in the state of sufferingD.was quarrelling with his mother11.What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A.Graham is still using drugs now.B.Graham hates his mother very much.C.Graham thinks he can't be saved.D.Graham has come off drugs now.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·自治区适应性检测)How to Take Notes in ClassAs you progress from high school to college and into graduate school, you'll find that your lectures can get much more complex. Sometimes it'snot easy taking notes that make sense the next day. 1.________ Date your notes.In a perfect world, lecture notes from a single class are kept in a single, dedicated notebook in the correct sequence. But this is the real world! There will be times when you go to biology class (for example), and realize that you've brought the history notebook by accident.2.________ Also — if you ever have to take history notes in your biology notebook —be sure to start on a clean sheet of paper, mark the date, and tear it out. Then place the loose sheet in the correct notebook pocket. No pockets? Staple it in.Ask for a lecture theme — get an idea of the big picture.Professors and teachers usually lecture from an outline they've prepared ahead of time. 3.________ But there will be some repetition some days. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher for the topic of the day or the theme of the day's lecture.4.________ If you notice that the professor seems to be talking about something you've never heard of before, the teacher might be changing from one topic to another.
