Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue， yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year.New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson’s team used p lumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls ofthe tunnel. Mr Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is mor e important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal，they also follow visual signals.32. What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?A. Sense of smell.B. Sense of touch.C. Sense of sight.D. Smart brains.33. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is .A. to fly to the dark onesB. to catch and stick to themC. to take no notice of themD. to attach themselves to them【答案】32.A33.C3.【贵州省遵义航天高级中学2016届高三第四次模拟，A】In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km awayfrom Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He notice d me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the f avour I’d been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the sa me.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him.

They are a flash mob(暴民). Who are they? Are they mobs? Don't be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchangingbooks, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.25.What is NOT the feature of the flash mob?A. It can get together quickly.B.

陕西凤县2016高考英语二轮完形填空初练（3）及答案【由山东省枣庄市滕州一中2014高考英语二模改编】完形填空.阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A。

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual （智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the average children。

There can be little doubt that special classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner。

However，to take these __ 3 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 4 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 5____ class。

In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying heavily on their teachers' directions。

AThe other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad.She was very well­dressed，carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed，she had an unmistakable air of wealth，material success and even authority.I suspected she worked as a highly­paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of thatsort.So，I was curious to see what she was so focused on.The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quite the contrary；rather，she was concentrating on a romance novel.Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novels—smart，attractive，successful，“liberated，”modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic，artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome，manly heroes falling in love with virginal women，enduring a series of adventures，then no doubt having a happy ending.These_romance_stories_are_to_literature_what_hot_dogs_are_to_fine_food.Yet，the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular.Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA)：*More than 9，000 romance titles were released last year，with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction)．*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay，that’s not at all surprising)．* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure)．*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50，000 and $99，900 (placing them firmly in the middle class)．I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market，so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity.But I must wonder why so many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement continue to indulge in th e fanciful tales?I’m not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection”of the women’s liberation movement，but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies.A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way：“Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy.When a lady entered the room，gentlemen stood，doffed their hats，offered an arm，bowed，and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today.But they were also very athletic；they hunted，raced，boxed，rode horses.They were manly.Strong.Noble.Honorable.And that is why I love them！”Mrs.Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers—that is，in the early 21st century，have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms”they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious，________．【解题导语】落难少女情结：现代女性喜爱阅读言情小说的背后。

I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss_away my mobile phone to enjoy a mor e peaceful and ring-free life.Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hig h-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to e xpress their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cell-phone, people would think I was mad.I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I hav e an office phone, a home phone, an e-mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I'm out, pe ople can leave a message.

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a q uick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What s he saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the rest aurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appeara nce, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to w ear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Jane lle felt it was important to set an example for the other employ ees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern t o her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low he at. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she conti nued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logic al answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the colla r and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenl y seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have tak en to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift d ealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my o wn hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wi sdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad us ed to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying o ut a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.”There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work. 1．Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.A．there were stains on her blouseB．her blouse was wrinkledC．she wore heavy makeupD．she put on a wrong blouse2．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________. A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily wo rkC．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at allD．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appear ance3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.B．We are careful enough in daily life.C．We all have done something creative.D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing the m.4．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the las t paragraph ?A．Be creative.

Temperature is measured by means of a thermometer (温度计). One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact t hat most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises. There are one or two exceptions. There is, for instance, a kind of steel called invar (from “invariable”) which does not chang e its dimensions as temperature changes; it is valuable for ma king pendulums (钟摆), since, if the length of a pendulum changes, its time of vibr ation changes. It is also used for making very accurate measu ring scales. In both cases, then, changes of atmospheric temp erature have no effect if invar is used.Another exception is that very odd liquid, water, which has ma ny strange properties (特性). As water gets colder it contracts (收缩), which is ordinary behavior, until it reaches the temperatur e of 30℃. above freezing point. After that, as it gets colder, it expands. This is fortunate---for considering the freezing of a pond. As the water on top gets colder, it shrinks; and so, volume for volume, it becomes he avier and sinks. This goes on until all the pond is at 30℃, but after that, as the water becomes colder it expands. Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes, covering the pond with ice. If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point, the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end. This would not worry people who live in hot climates, but it wo uld be very serious for those who live in cold climates, especi ally for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which li ve in the cold water beneath.1. Invar is valuable for making pendulums because _______.A. it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature chan ges.B. it will change its dimensions without the change of tempera ture.C. its time of vibration doesn’t change if its length changes.D. its time of vibration does not change if its length changes.2. As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30℃. it will _______.A. contractB. shrinkC. expandD. freeze3. Which of the following statements is true, according to thispassage?A. Only invar can be used to make a thermometer.B. Only water can be used to make a thermometer.C. Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer.D. Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermomete r.4. The best title of this passage is most likely to be _____.A. Temperature MeasurementB. Two ExceptionsC. Uses of InvarD.
