As executives (高级管理人员) with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now 21 on their way to impressive careers. By society’s 22 , they seem to have it made.On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a 23 drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime roommates, and 24 out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine 25 a college year's monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.The thing is, a number of them have 26 that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some 27 of unfrien dly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they 28 . Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and 29 . However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the 30 to which they have so quickly become 31 .People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and 32 in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they 33 or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion: it’s 34 . They have loans, bills, a mortgage (抵押贷款) to 35 , retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something 36 in their lives , but it’s 37 to step off the track.In a society that tends to 38 everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn from a young ag e to consider the costs of our 39 in financial terms. But what about the personal and social costs 40 in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds of costs many of us tend to ignore — and the very ones we need to consider most.21.

However, social changes that are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.67. The surveys inform us of ______.A. the development of technologyB. the changes of adult children’s behaviorC. the parents’ over-protection of their college childrenD. the means and expenses of students’ communication68. The writer believes that______.A. parents today are more protective than those in the pastB. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantagesC. technology explains greater involvement with their childrenD. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence69. What is the best title for the passage?A. Technology or AttitudeB. Dependence or IndependenceC. Family Influences or Social ChangesD. College Management or Communication Advancement70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?A. B. C. D.I=Introduction P=Point Sp=Sub-point C=Conclusion➢Passage DLet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day t he difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.41. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by______.A. listening to skill ed people’s adviceB. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do42. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A. Give children correct answers.B. Allow children to make mistakes.C. Point out children’s mistakes to them.D. Let children mark their own work.43. According to the writer, teachers in school should ______.A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes when ever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge44. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ______.A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills45. The title of this passage could probably be ______.A. Let Our Teachers Stop W orkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn by Themselves➢Passage E“Wait till your father gets home!” used to be a mother’s ultimate threat. But with the two-parent household becoming less and less common. University of Maryland researchers set out to study how important contact w ith dad is to children’s development. They found that even when fathers do not live at home. children whose fathers are actively involved in their lives tend to have better cognitive (认知) and language skills and fewer behavior problems.”We found that fathe rs who are involved with children have children with fewer problems.” according to leading investigator Dr. Maureen Black. “That added involvement from a father helps children greatly.Black and her colleagues studied 175 three-year-old African-American children, most of whose mothers were receiving public assistance. Seventy-three percent of these mothers reported that their child’s biological father (生父) or another father figure (step-father) had at least monthly contact with their children. Of these father figures, 64% were interviewed and observed playing with their children.The researchers wanted to see how aspects of father involvement were related to the children’s cognitive development, language ability and behavior. They found that both mother’s and father’s satisfaction with parenting were significantly related to the children’s cognitive abilities and to their behavior. Whether the father lived with the child or not was related to either of these factors.Maternal (母亲的) education and where fathers contributed financially were also predictive (预示) of the children’s language development and behavior. And where fathers lived with their child, “the home was more child-centered”, according to the report.Writing in a recent issue of Child Development, Black and her colleagues conclude that their findings support “the importance of father-child interaction to children’s well-being”. Th ey also note that rather than just looking at whether the biological father lives with the child, researchers nee d to “consider father roles from functional and cultural perspectives”.“Fathers definitely play an important part in children’s development,” added study co-author Dr. Howard Dubowitz in a statement. “I think these results show that our society should d evelop family-oriented (家庭中心的) policies and programs that promote positive father involvement.”60. This passage mainly concerns the importance of _____ to children’s development.A. fatherB. motherC. the parentsD. all the family members61. From the passage, regular contact with dad is tremendously important to children’s ______.A. physical and mental healthB. cognitive and language skillsC. behaviorD. both B and C62. What’s the main aim of the study by researchers of Universit y of Maryland?A. To decide whether it is father or mother who plays a more important role in children’s development.B. To know about the importance of contact with father to children’s well-being.C. To find out how much time a father should spend with his children.D. To prove that father and mother should learn to cooperate well to teach their children.63. Which of the following is NOT among the discoveries of Dr. Black and her colleagues?A. Father will have to live at home in order to help with their children’s development.B. Father’s active involvement with children will make them have fewer problems.C. Both parents’ satisfaction with parenting is closely connected with children’s cogn itiveabilities and their behavior.D. There exists father-child interaction, which is important to children’s well-being.➢Passage F 2016 ZJ_ A“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?”Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags,“You bet I did,Sean told me two days ago.”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that what that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton Hig h School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip (闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor (传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t.Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority (优越感).Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.41.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _______.A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose42.An important negative effects of gossip is that it _______.A. breaks up relationshipsB. embarrasses the listenerC. spreads information aroundD. causes unpleasant experiences43.In the author's opinion, many people like to gossip because it _______.A. gives them a feeling of pleasureB. helpl them to make more friendsC. makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people44.Professor David Wilson think that gossip can _______.A. provide students with written rulesB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to improve student handbooksD. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors45.What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never become a gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Don’t let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossip.【语法重点复习导练】语法技能重点复习导练:动词 1 时·体和语态 -1动词时态和语态在高考中的考查重点:1.对下列十种动词时·体的考查:2.既考查时态又考查语态;3.考查动词的及物性与不及物性;4.考查中动语态(主动形式表示被动意义);5.考查动词短语(语块)在被动语态中的介词问题;6.对被动语态习惯句型的考查。

But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.65. The passage tells us that ______.A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _______.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns67. Which of the following shows theorganization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point SP:Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionPassage 2It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the world's population—men and women—are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other h and, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.C. It works better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.66. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because _______.A. adopting men’s style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change67. The passage is mainly developed by _______.A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order☑话题5 世界环境 World & Environment[话题解析] 人类所处的世界和环境是高考常见话题,包含内容较广泛。

Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel(天堂) on earth’.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.71. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?A. The Pacific Island is a paradise.B. The Pacific Island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not convincing.D. The advertisement is not impressive72. The example of Nepal is used to suggest ______.A. its natural resources are untouchedB. its forests are exploited for farmlandC. it develops well in health and educationD. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists73. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?A. They are happy to work their own lands.B. They have to please the tourists for a living.C. They have to struggle for their indep endence.D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.74. Which of the following determines the future of tourism?A. The number of tourists.B. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism.75.The author’s attitude towards the development of t he tourist industry is _______.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. objectiveD. negative➢推理判断 Passage E (458+217 words)using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for prof itable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includ es a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏见): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss?73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A. Cruel.B. Superior.C. Honorable.D. Rude74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ______.A. help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.77. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Shakes peare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results➢推理判断 Passage F 2016 JS_C (594words)El Nin o, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997-98 helped America’s economy grow by $15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱) in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is relat ed to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.61. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.62. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.63. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_______.A. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first64. What is the aut hor’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.【语法重点复习导练】语法技能重点复习导练:句子2二、形容词性从句——定语从句-1:限定性从句与非限定性从句考查重点:形容词从句的引导词叫关系词(relative)。

It was the longest night of the year.It lasted forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday...and it’s due again!People tell me all too frequently…I need more time! Oh ,really?…Mother Teresa,Michelangelo,and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day.Look what they did with their time!Is it that we need to manage our time better…or our priorities(重点)?You’ve heard the expression“first things first.〞The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited.Why is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer.They use their time smartly.One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group ofstudents and announced a quiz.He pulls out a wide-mouthed jar.Next,he places about a dozen fist-sized rocks,one at a time , into the jat, until no more will fit.“Is it full?〞he asks.〞Yes,〞responds the class.〞Oh really?〞he asks.So he takes out a bucket of gravel(砂砾)。

That is why Three Mile Island(美国宾夕法尼亚州的三里岛, 该地核电站曾发生灾难性事故), Chernobyl, or, more recently, Fukushim (日本城市福岛)have not prevented countries from pursing nuclear power generating capacities. That is why it makes good economic and environmental sense for China to substantially boost(提升)its corresponding capabilities. On one hand, it is a constant and growing power undersupply to deal with. On the other hand, its dependence on coal-burning power generation is a known cause of air pollution.According to official documents, last year alone, nuclear power plants saved the country 53.74million tons of standard coal, reducing carbon dioxide release by almost 141milli on tons. That’s a lot. And that was when nuclear power accounted for a meager 1.8percent of our national power supply, compared to around 20 percent in the United States and Great Britain.From the perspective of pollutants reduction alone, nuclear power deserves a much more dominant role in China. But the crucial precondition is safety. The Chinese nuclear industry has made impressive progress, technology-wise and maintained a by-and-large satisfactory safety record for decades. But that safety record was achieved when nuclear power was approached with extreme prudence(审慎). No matter how technologically competent(有能力的)we become, that same degree of prudence remains necessary today and in the future. Nuclear safety is never just about high technology.And, pride-worthy as it is, the domestic nuclear industry’s safety record is not perfect. None of our nuclear power generating units has suffered events or accidents rated above Level 2under the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, according to the white paper. But that does not exclude there being events below or at Level 2. That justifies redoubled caution in the future, in the planning, building, and operating of nuclear facilities.And as the number of nuclear facilities increase, it will highlight another risk, for which we remain relatively inexperienced, namely the safe disposal of nuclear waste.That is why prudence must remain the watchword.1.If there is another paragraph between the fifth and sixth, it will be mainly about that ________.A.nuclear power deserves a much more dominant role in ChinaB.nuclear safety relies on more than just high-techC.we remain inexperienced in the safe disposal of nuclear wasteD.the number of nuclear facilities will increasePassage 22016上海卷AOne early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big,hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple that I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A.It was a thick enough book. B.Something on its cover caught her eye.C.Her mother was reading it with interest. D.It has a meaningful title.67.After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A.sad B.excited C.horrified D.confused68.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A.it reflected her own childhood B.it was written in simple languageC.it was composed by a famous poet D.it gave her a hint of what would happen69.It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem “leads the writer to _______.A.discover the power of poetry B.recognize her love for puzzlesC.find her eagerness to grow up D.experience great homesicknessTest 选练3It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brain Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that res embles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After ad ding the library’s final touches(装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2, 500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”66.In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?A.It owns a yellow roof. B.It stands near a sidewalk.C.It protects book lovers from the sun. D.It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.67.Janey got the idea to build a library from ______.A.a visit to Brian Williams B.a spring break with her familyC.a book sent by one of her neighbors D.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization68.The library was built ______.A.by a ship supply company B.on the basis of toy horsesC.like a mailbox D.with glass69.What can we infer about the signboard?A.It was made by a user of the library. B.It marked a final touch to the library.C.It aimed at making the library last long. D.It indicated the library was a family property.70.The passage tells us that the users ______.A.donate books to the library B.get paid to collect books for the libraryC.receive thank-you notes for using the library D.visit the library over 5times on average daily江西卷BWhen international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Herehowever rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.61.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A.By solving the cost problems.B.By solving the transportation problems.C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.62.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A.Providing food is vital. B.Learning to fish is helpful.C.Teaching skills is essential D.Looking after others is important.63.The second paragraph is developed mainly ______.A.by example B.by process C.by comparison D.by contrast64.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A.A medical team. B.An exchange program. C.A water plant. D.Financial support. 65.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A.It is facing difficulties. B.It is unnecessary during normal times.C.It should be given in the form of materials. D.It has gained support from developed countries. 三、阅读表达阅读下面短文, 按照要求用英语完成任务.Book CreatorWith the book creator you can create a book containing wiki pages of your choice.

The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them 36 side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud 37 filled the room and made them feel very happy.The next morning, 38 , their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a 39 under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent (管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all 40 people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their 41 and apologize for their playing.“Maybe we could go and 42 everyone in person.” his mother said.“What if we invited t hem to come here for a 43 instead? Dario asked.They both loved the 44 . Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts 45 their guests.

I 49 that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we 50 you an apology.” she said. “I didn’t 51 how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such 52 music.”“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be 53 to play them in the evening.”“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to 54 the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the bi g smile on his mother’s face.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger i nfluence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences. [2015GD_C]36. By watching TV, children learn ______.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. mor e about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child ______.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watching文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.C. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that ______.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To pre sent Anderson’s unconventional ideas.B ( words: 480+181 time limit: 10’ )If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead,we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution —whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light level—and light rhythms—to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nigh—dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet (磁铁). The effect is so powerful that sci entists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint including most other creatures, we do need darkness .Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.Living in a glare of our making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy arching overhead.

What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Magic lightB. The Orange HazeC. The Disappearing NightD. The Rhythms of NatureC (words: 404 + 202 time limit: 8’)One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly reali zed something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. [2015TJ_C ]46. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to______.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons47.

The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.50. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum’s Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for ReadingD (words: 429 + 204 time limit: 8’)A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground—and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigat ion and the sci entist’s experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, ” It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.” [2016ZJ_C]50. According to some developmental psychologists, _______.A. a baby’s play is nothing more than a game.B. scientific research into babies; games is possibleC. the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD. a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment51. We learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB. scientists and babies often interact with each otherC. babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do52. Children may learn the rules of language by _______.A. exploring the physical worldB. investigating human psychologyC. repeating their own experimentsD. observing their parents’ behaviors53. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.B. Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D. One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.54. What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?A. Convincing.B. Confused.C. Confidence.D. Cautious.【语法重点复习导练】语法应用实题测试1 2016 浙江卷第一节:单项填空1. —Are you sure you’re ready for the best?—_____. I’m well prepared for it.A. I’m afraid notB. No problemC. Hard to sayD.

like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste ,the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed ,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries ,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material ,up to 100 times more ,than the material contained in the finished products.Consider again the cell-phone ,and imagine the mines that produced those metals ,the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in.Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.The US Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that "the production ,distribution ,and use of products -as well as management of the resulting waste -all result in greenhouse gas release〞.Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance ,buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机) for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products ,would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments ,incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why ,they ask ,should cities or towns be responsible for payingto deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫) that encased your television?From the governments , point of view ,a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.33.By mentioning the Swiss study ,the author intends to tell us that .A.the weight of e-goods is rather smallB.e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC.natural minerals contain more precious metalsD.the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste答案 B解析推理判断题.根据第二段可知该研究说明电子垃圾中的贵重金属含量很高,再根据全文的写作目的可知,作者意在说明电子垃圾值得被充分利用.因此选B .34.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended .A.from producers to governmentsB.from governments to producersC.from individuals to distributorsD.from distributors to governments答案 B解析细节理解题.根据文章最|后一段可知,对电子垃圾的管理应该回到生产者那里,即以前是政府和纳税人对电子垃圾负责,现在应该转移到生产商那里.因此选B .35.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The increase in e-waste.B.The creation of e-waste.C.The seriousness of e-waste.D.The management of e-waste.答案 D解析主旨大意题.文章前半局部指出了电子垃圾的数量在不断增加及其危害,后半局部提出了如何处理这些垃圾,由此可推知,如何处理电子垃圾是文章的主旨,因此选D

world. 36 People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others.Even at preschool , "sharing time〞is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.37 In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so.But there are also times when Asians do share their stories. 38 Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships ,leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.Ironically ,the more unique Americans strive to be ,the greater their need to feel connected with others.In their culture of individuality ,relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts ,feelings and desires. 39 But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians ,for whom social relations are generally unconditional ,obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable ,and therefore require little maintenance(维护).40 American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with n parents ,by contrast ,engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently.When they do talk about a child ,s experiences ,they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.A.They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.B.It helps them shape their "selves〞and makes them who they are.C.Interestingly ,this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.D.Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.E.It connects them like many different points ,holding their society together.F.Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.G.Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.语篇解读本文主要介绍了美国人和亚洲人在分享故事方面的文化差异 .36.答案 F解析根据空后的 "Even at preschool ,‘sharing time ,is a common Monday-morning activity...〞以及 "...something they did over the weekend〞,这些都是围绕 "sharing personal stories〞的话题展开的,周一开晨会讲述周末的活动是日常对话的构成局部,因此选F .37.答案 C解析根据空后的 "In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.〞可知,该段落主要是比照美国和亚洲国|家的文化差异.C项中的 "shared in other cultures〞与之相对应.所以选C .38.答案 A解析根据空后的 "Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships...〞可知,在亚洲,人的社会地位和关系很大程度上决定了个人,即使分享故事也倾向于一些外在的事实,而不会过多谈及个人的细节.A项与之相符.因此选A .39.答案 E解析根据空前的 "Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts...〞可知,关键的信息是brings them closer ,E项中的 "holding their society together〞与之属于同一个范畴.因此选E .40.答案G解析根据空后的 "American parents n parents ,by contrast...〞可知,该段落比照了美国和亚洲国|家的父母和小孩一起分享彼此故事的不同之处.因此选G .第三局部语言知识运用(共两节,总分值45分)第|一节(共20小题;每题1.5分,总分值30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最|正确选项.(2021·河南开封质检)Do you think an individual can make a

These things come to represent, in fact, what I call 21 and love.I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 22 the water. Any kind of 23 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 24 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.But I never really liked being on the water the way my father did. I liked being 25 the water, moving through it, 26 it all around me. I was not a strong 27 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 28 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 29 those summer days with my father, who 30 come by on a break.I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 31 person not in swimsuit.After swimming, I would go 32 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 33 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 34 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 35 . But my father always 36 and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s 37 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 38 an ice cream…A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 39 .” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 40 , in that childhood, look at us. 21.

Passage AIn a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) saidthat they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield s aid.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.53. According to this text, edX is ______.A. a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB. a free computer program by MIT and HarvardC. a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD. a free program online for universities worldwide54. What is said about online education in the text?A. Universities have been trying online courses.B. About 2,000 online courses have been offered.C. Over 100 million people have finished courses online.D. Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.55. The underlined part in the text probably means “”.A. Get ready for the difficultiesB. Get ready for this educational changeC. Get prepared to complete the online coursesD. Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses56. What can be said about MITx according to the text?A. It is first offered as part of the edX learning program.B. It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program.C. It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement.D. It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.Passage BThe 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added —a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that ar e 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72. The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to ______ duringthe 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to______.A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledPassage CIn today's throw-away society, dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largelythrough encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste areto be disposed of. The five councils ( Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders ) face fines around £18 million a year from 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of buildinga large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tonsof the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down - after 700 local objections reached them — because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste willbe allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decidedto work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59. The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ______.A. recyclingB. restoringC. buryingD. burning60. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ______.A. reduce the cost of burying wasteB. meet the EU requirementsC. speed up waste recyclingD. replace landfill sites61. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site nearPortobello because ______.A. it came from a private companyB. the council was not interested in itC. it was not supported by EUD. the local people were against it62. What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils?A. To open a new landfill nearby.B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.C. To set up a plant for burning waste.D. To persuade people to deduce their waste.Passage DGUATEMALA CITY (Reuters)—A fish that lives in mangrove swamps (红树沼泽) across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida.The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish foundin Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state.
