AI recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than theaverage person. What set him so far apart from othersHe responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with bothhands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.21.When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk, she ________.A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boy's trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor22.The child's experience resulted in the following BUT ________.A. offering the boy a chance to grasp the bottleB. benefiting the boy all his lifeC. helping the boy be more creativeD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value23. According to the passage, the way the scientist's mother used is ________.A. instructiveB. strictC. formalD. strangeBToday's buzz words, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday people (not just celebrities) to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Based on this trend, entire districts,known as eco-communities, are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self-sufficient community. The plans describe a variety of environmental features, some of which have never been seen.Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation (通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic (无毒的). Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers forall of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.The first two stages of development at Dockside Green have already been completed, and many other plans are in the works. Other smaller eco-villages can be found around the world. Residents of these communities aim to reduce their carbon footprint and be models for sustainable living.24. The purpose of the article is to __________.A. introduce eco-communitiesB. describe Dockside Green’s plansC. advertise Dockside GreenD. illustrate sustainable living25. According to the article, what percentage of energy saving will Dockside Green residents saveA. 100%.B. 90%.C. 55%.D. 20%.26. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly choice for builders because it __________.A. provides good air circulationB. keeps pests out of housesC. is toxic substances freeD. can be used for a long time27. What will Dockside Green try to do in the futureA. To find fossil fuel alternatives.B. To develop an interior transportation system.C. To use most of construction waste again.D. To cooperate with other eco-villages.CAs you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U. S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' " Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the currenttop musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents. But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you usedto, have nofear — just wait for your kidsto becometeenagers, and you'll get exposed to all thepopularmusic of the day once again!”28. What happens after teens grow olderA. They quit listening to music.B. Their interest in music fades.C. They change their music libraries.D. Their musical tastes become stable.29. What is the way of the researchA. Interviews.B. Analyzing data.C. Observation.D. Tracking popularity.30. How do teens develop their musical tastesA. They listen to what they like repeatedly.B. They act like their favorite popular stars.C. They experience different styles of music.D. They like high-ranking music worldwide.31. What's the good news for parents in the last paragraphA. Parents will regain their faith in music.B. Parents will influence their teens in music.C. Parents will hear their favorite music again.D. Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.DThey still bite, but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever — a dangerous disease that they normally would spread. Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.Researchers first injected （注射）mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities,Simmons said.The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.The work marks “exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.32. What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoesA. They lose the ability to bite people.B. They become harmful to human beings.C. They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria.D. They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating.33. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in Paragraph 4A. The bite from a mosquito.B. The local community.C. The spread of Dengue.D. The infected person.34. What do the last two paragraphs suggestA. This research proves a complete success.B. Scientists agree on this research.C. There is still room for improvement.D. Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones.35. What is the best title for the textA. Bacteria- infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue.B. Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying BitersC. Fight against Mosquitoes with WolbachiaD. Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It stars Wallace Chuang and Tang Yan, premiering (初次上演) in January, 2015.The drama portrays a man and a woman's reunion and long-lasting romance after seven years of separation. The novel itself has been popular on the Internet and was published in 2003.Wallace Chuang soon rose to become a romantic icon among female viewers because of the role he played in the adaptation, presenting an ideal image of lover to the audiences.The Lost TombThe Lost Tomb is an action and adventure TV adaption of a popular online novel by Xu Lei. This is the first seasonal online TV series in China and the novel is scheduled to be dramatized in eight seasons, one season for each year. The first season was released in June of 2015.The novel series of the same name is about several people's adventure in ancient tombs, and it has enjoyed a wide readership since it was released online in 2006.Thus the adapted TV series had been accordingly highly expected by its fans but turned out to be disappointing. Although there were 24,000,000 hits on the web within the first two minutes of its debut (首次上演), the season was later criticized by the audiences for its weak storyline and poor quality. Some lines of the series even became jokes on the social media.Nirvana in FireNirvana in Fire is also adapted from an online novel of the same name written by Hai Yan, the adaptation for the first time found its way on the screen in September 2015.Staring Hu Ge and Liu Tao, the series shows a talented military strategist endeavoring to clear his name through continuous fights.

高三英语模拟试题（十）第一部分阅读第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AIf you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?What is a Hoverboard?A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical,portable and became highly popular in 2015 in reference to a popular 1980’s movie. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.How Does a Hoverboard Work?The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated.Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:•Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.•Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt ( 倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.•Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.•Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.Why Buy a Hoverboard?Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend?Where is a hoverboard legal?Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.1. The logic board of a hoverboard can .A. store electricityB. power the wheelsC. send information to the ridersD. receive data and give command2. According to the passage, a hoverboard can be used .A．on campus B．in parksC．on bike paths D．in shopping malls3. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To evaluate a gift’s quality.B. To recommend a gift choice.C. To compare new hoverboard models.D. To clarify functions of the latest hoverboards.BGrowing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your b est but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school, ” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”4.From the passage, we can learn that .A. Deka was adopted by a refugee familyB. Deka spent a lot of time going to partiesC. Deka became a professor after graduationD. Deka’s ex periences drove her to work hard5．Deka realized the importance of education .A. from her mother’s experienceB. after her chemistry classC. by reading books in the libraryD. through working at the institute6．According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be .A. patientB. confidentC. ambitiousD. generous7．What does the story intend to tell us?A. Life is not all roses.B. Practice makes perfect.C. Well begun is half done.D. Hard work leads to success.CA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. Theylook like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr. Farine emphasizes thi s particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals ( 哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at—no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.8. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?A. The guineafowl’s social behaviour.B. Previous assumptions about birds.C．His interest in animal brainpower. D．The faults in earlier research.9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The research subjects. B．The research methods.C．The research findings. D．The research equipment.10. What can be learned from the passage?A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.C．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups.D．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.11. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.DFor several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by those whose interests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things.Stressing success es isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But what is typically thou ght to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis ( 假设), then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things.If there is no identifiable scientific method, then what is the reason for trust in science? The answer is how those claims are evaluated. The common element in modern science, regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used, is the strict scrutiny (审查) of claims. It’s this tough, sustained process that works to make sure faulty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a lengthy “peer review” because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation (责任) to find faults.A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads. In areas that have been contested, like climate science and vaccine safety, it’s thousands. This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim. And this is why diversity in science—the more people looking at a claim from different angles—is important.Does this process ever go wrong? Of course. Scientists are humans. There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical (矛盾的): that science produces both novelty and stability. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.12. How does the author think of the scientific method?A. Stable.B. Persuasive.C. Unreliable.D. Unrealistic.13．What does the underlined word “vetted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Explained.B. Examined.C. Repeated.D. Released.14．According to the passage, the author may agree that .A. it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claimsB. settled science tends to be collectively overturnedC. a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutinyD. diversity in knowledge is the common element in science15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Put Your Faith in ScienceB. Defend the Truth in ScienceC. Apply Your Mind to ScienceD. Explore A Dynamic Way to Science第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
