Increa sed use of the Internet and mobile pho nes is undermining pupils’ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, eventhough they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that moderntechnology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our researc h shows that technologyobsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, anddisturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile ph one usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly f inding it was into pupils’school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in ess ays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。

Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”“Yes, you may. ”“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”The man nodded.【文章大意】一个圣徒从河里拯救一只蝎子时, 先后被蜇了两次, 但他仍旧努力把它救了出来。

2015西安市高考英语【四月】阅读理解、完形填空选练〔4〕答案阅读理解Batteries are included, but the charger’s not. The Nokia E-Cu conceptphone doesn’t need to plug in; it charges from any heat source.Designer Patrick Hyland says it can even work off the warmth of yourpocket. The fir st time“it would take approximately seven hours toreach full charge, then after that it’s continuously charging by keepingthe phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degreesFahrenheit. 〞That’s one hot pocket.He’s put a thermo generator(热偶发电器)inside the phone that transforms heat into electric potential energy. To better conduct the heat to that little power plant in your pocket, the E-Cu(E for energy, Cu for copper)is coated by copper backing withheat sinkslike those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.Nokia doesn’t have current plans to build the phone, so for now it remains a concept. But Hyland says he’s open to anyone who wants to cooperate.For Americans this technology would certainly be convenient. It would also save a bit on energy bills and waste. “Annually, unwanted phone chargers produce 51, 000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them, 〞Hyland says. So a charger-free phone is also a green phone. Though adapting our plug-in habits would help a group of people, most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.The real potential for charger-free cell phone technology is what it couldenable places where plugging in isn’t an option, like rural areas in the developing world.Cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities, aid and health advances. A phone like the E-Cu, if it ever comes to be, would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects. Let’s hope Patrick finds a partner.【文章大意】本文介绍的是一种不用插入电源、在口袋里即可获得电能的手机。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2015西安市高考英语【四月】阅读理解、完形填空选练（10）答案阅读理解English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Yourparents, while you were a young child? Yourteachers at school? Perhaps even the BBCas a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow youhave developed an understanding of what israpidly becoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangersof“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

高中英语真题-2015高考英语信息匹配及任务型阅读训练(12)及答案

高中英语真题:2015高考英语信息匹配及任务型阅读训练（12）及答案【2015高考复习】任务型读写The scientific method consists of asking and finding answers to a problem by way of logical thinking, carefully weighing all the p ossibilities and arriving at the best possible solution. Curious ob servation and asking a question “Why or When, How or Where” regarding a phenomenon forms the first step of scientific metho d. To understand the problem clearly and come up with the “sp ecific” question, you may need to consider, observe carefully, a nd use your reasoning skills. For this you may have to research , gather observable and measurable data according to your prin ciples of reasoning. The way you look at a problem or a pheno menon, understand and approach it by asking the right question has a high probability of leading you to the correct solution. After you’v e made your observation and asked a question, cond uct your research to gather information about the subject. To an swer the question, the library and the Internet must be used to c ollect information. Also, explore and focus on the research work that has been carried out. Also, the process of researching must be impartial (公正的) for a fair interpretation of the results. All the data and metho ds must be documented and shared properly. This enables the data to be carefully studied by other researchers.A hypothesis (假设) is a possible theory that is formed after observing and analy zing a certain phenomenon and can provide a probable answer to the problem. Every scientific experiment is based on a hypot hesis which gives you an idea to approach the problem and con duct the related experiment. Researchers sticking to the scientif ic method employ hypotheses to explain various phenomena an d also design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. As stated earlier, a hypothesis is a theory that isn’t yet proved, and to prove it experiments must be conducted. The experimen t proves the authenticity (真实性) of the hypothesis according to the information and evidence s gathered while doing research on the subject. Care must be t aken that the experiment is a fair test, and it must be repeated f or the same and different set of values. The experiment will eith er confirm or rule out your theory. However, if it doesn’t support the hypothesis, it must be rejected or modified.Once your experiment is completed, you need to analyze the d ata to check whether your hypothesis is true or false. If the hypothesis isn’t in accordance with the facts, you’ll have to form a n ew hypothesis and begin the steps of the scientific method all o ver again. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, it is necessary t o check it again by using a new approach. In addition, the result s of the experiment and the hypothesis must be conveyed to ot hers through a display board or by publishing a final report. Wh en others perform the same experiment and get the same result s, the hypothesis becomes rock-solid.【答案】1. understanding2. data3. Devote4. Form5.

201西安市5高考英语阅读和信息匹配四月选练12【由山东省2014高考仿真冲刺卷（6）改编】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．1．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American Englis hC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day2．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dish D．American changing cultures3．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew4．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different cultures5．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?A．Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure．B．Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure．C．“Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage．D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．【参考答案】1---5、B A B D B【2015高考复习】阅读理解Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear.This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties，in other words，when they are older and wiser.Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem.But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth；they might crowd other teeth.Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums (齿龈)．An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gums.Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth.Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.Wisdom teeth that are not well lined and become impacted are often removed.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums.Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth ate poorly lined.The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.Young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal.But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed？One theory has to do with our diets.Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth.Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then，too.So it was good to have extras.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

(2014·溧阳模拟)An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index(BMI)of at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5’8”tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders, ”said physician Adatto. “Underweight models, ”he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny. ”But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power o f the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work, ”said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said, “I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death. ”However, the efforts to regulate model’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disord ers, but it makes it harder, ”she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal. ”【文章大意】本文讲述了以色列出台了一项新法律, 限制模特太瘦, 此项新法律引起了争议。
