wasn’t the problem—I was in constant contact with clients by email and phone.But I did feel claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的)．With wheels on my desk chair and the refrigerator just two feet away，I could work for twelve straight hours without ever standing up.There was no physical separation between my living room and work table，so the only way I found to feel like I was going “home” at the end of the day was to forbid my use of the working chair.At ninethirty at night，when I turned my computer off，I felt a bit like the family dog reaching the high point of its day，“Whoohoo！I get to go for a walk！” Then，around eleventhirty，I’d find myself turning on the computer again to solve some work issue that was preoccupyin g me...At the same time，I discovered that working this way had definite advantages.Not only did I save an hour from going to work and back home，I also gained a great deal of control over my time.There were fewer interruptions than in an office，I could schedule meetings and phone calls in blocks to increase the productive time around them，and the easy access to my workspace late at night and on weekends could obviously be of mixed effects.This was especially important to me since，in addition to consulting work，I was writing fiction and planning a new business.Working at home allowed me to manage all of these activities at once without losing significant sleep.This turned out to be well worth the claustrophobia，which also faded as I became more used to the new routine.A shortwalk in the late afternoon could reduce the shutin feeling and make me get energetic again to work through the evening.You might think that，with all this added time flexibility，I would even find a few hours to clean my apartment，but，unfortunately，this never happened.41．The writer felt claustrophobic because________.A．she was lonely B．she worked long hoursC．she couldn’t go for a walk D．she worked alone for long42．Where does the writer work?A．In her own home. B．In an office.C．In a hospital. D．At a newspaper.43．What does the writer think of working late at night and on weekends?A．It was convenient for her.B．It had advantages and disadvantages.C．She didn’t like it at all.D．She enjoyed working late.44．What’s the writer’s general attitude towards her work?A．She didn’t like it very much. B．She enjoyed doing her work.C．It allowed her little spare time. D．It was too hard for her.B(2009年成都第一次诊断，C)Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess，if they are properly used.If fire did not hurt when it burnt，children would play it until their hands were burnt away.Similarly，if pain existed but fear did not，a child would burn itself again and again，because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before.A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed；and a dead soldier is of no use to his army.Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used.If，for example，you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car，you are letting fear rule you too much.Even in your house you are not absolutely safe：a plane may crash on your house，or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof，and they later may fall on you，or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you，but instead to use fear as your servant and guide.Fear will warn you of dangers；then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases，you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger.For example，you see a car coming straight towards you；fear warns you，you jump out of the way，and all is OK.In some cases，however，you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.For example，you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house，and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants.In this case，fear has given you its warning；you have examined it and decided on your course of action，so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you，and you have to try to overcome it.45．Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if________.A．they were given no warning beforehandB．they didn’t have any sense of pain at allC．they had never burnt themselvesD．they felt afraid of the fire46．A really fearless soldier________.A．is of a little use to his armyB．is not afraid of battles at allC．is nothing but a dead soldierD．is easy to get killed in a battle47．People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because________.A．they are warned of the danger and take quick actionB．they are quick both in mind and in actionC．they are calm in face of dangerD．they have gained much experience48．It is implied but not stated that________.A．fear is always something helpfulB．too much fear is harmfulC．fear should be used as a servant and guideD．fear is something strange and particularCA British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their overamorous farewells.Commuters have been told：if you want to get up to that kind of business，do it in the car park.The sign has been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington，between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.A similar sign，this time permitting kissing，has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is considered tolerable.“We have not banned kissing in the station，” said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.“But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy.The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly.If people wish to spend a little more time with their loved ones before they leave，then they should park in the shortstay car park nearby.”The busy station links the town with the major cities London，Birmingham，Glasgow，Edinburgh，Liverpool and Manchester.However，one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks.High Wycombe，northwest of London，is having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.“Kissing is wel come here！...we would never dream of banning kissing，” says a poster of a cartoon couple embracing，framed by a pink heart.“Railway stations are romantic places，” insisted Kirsteen Robertson from Chiltern Railways.“They are where fond farewells and emotiona l reunions take place，where relationships start with a glance and even，in the case of our Marylebone station last November where one passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system.”“So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations.”49．The train station has put up a no kissing sign in order to________.A．ban kissing in the stationB．get passengers to walk quicklyC．avoid embarrassmentD．prevent illegal practice50．The underlined word “it” here refers to________.A．rescuing love from the tracks B．banning kissing in the stationC．kissing at the dropoff point D．kissing in the car park51．We learn that in High Wycombe________.A．kissing is encouragedB．kissing is forbiddenC．kissing is intolerableD．kissing is limited to a certain time52．We can infer that________.A．the dropoff point is not a safe placeB．the dropoff point is a quiet placeC．the dropoff point is a romantic placeD．the dropoff point is often packed with the traffic and passengersDDo you remember piling up building blocks (积木) when you were younger？In order for a great structure to be created，you needed skill，patience，hard work，and the right blocks.To build a healthy and happy life，you need skill，patience，hard work，and the right blocks.In life，though，these blocks，or tools，are called life skills.No one wants to feel frustrated.No one wants to feel sick.No one wants to fight all the time with friends or family.When these issues come up，though，life skills can help you deal with and improve the situation.Do you remember the six components of health？They are physical，emotional，social，mental，spiritual，and environmental.Life skills can help improve these areas individually or，sometimes，together.It just takes practice.So what are the life skills?First of all，an individual should assess his health.Doing this helps the person decide on his current state of wellbeing and pick the actions and behaviors that will improve his health.Second，a person should try to communicate effectively.When a person can clearly state his feelings and listen effectively as well，relationships with others can improve.Third，an individual should practice wellness.This means the person is trying to choose nutritious meals，avoid unhealthy behaviors，and get enough sleep.Fourth，________.Each person will experience difficult situations.Each person experiences anger or depression at some point in his life.To build a healthy life，though，a person works through the situation.Fifth，a person needs to be a wise consumer.A consumer buys products.A wise consumer makes healthy decisions when buying products and services.53．The author talks about piling up building blocks in the first paragraph to________.A．show it is a difficult taskB．compare it with building a healthy lifeC．explain how to create a great structureD．tell readers the six components of health54．The underlined word “wellness” in the passage most probably means “________”．A．having a lot of moneyB．the state of being healthyC．being content with what one hasD．being not easily upset or excited55．Which of the following sentences can be used to fill in the blank?A．a person should learn from failureB．a person should work hard all his lifeC．a person may have troubles every now and thenD．an individual must try to deal with troubles effectively56．In which section of a newspaper do you expect to read this piece of writing?A．Culture Square. B．Entertainment Space.C．News Platform. D．Life Channel.EYou may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building，but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don’t fight fires quite that way.When they go into action，you may not even see a fire truck.The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas.But don’t think you’ll only find them in their home state California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency，the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.But these firefighters don’t work the same way as firefighters in a big city.They work in areas where there are large numbers of trees，bushes，and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris (残骸)．They sometimes use water，but they often fight fire with fire!They do that by lighting what are called “backfires”，which are small，controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires.That way，when the Wildfire gets there，it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go，because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.The Hotshots also clear away fuel using oldfashioned hard work.For example，they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited，and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain (地形) while carrying a 60—pound pack.The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay.But thanks to their efforts，many lives have been saved，many houses have not burned，and countless trees are still standing.57．The firefighters mentioned in the passage________.A．do much of their work in CaliforniaB．avoid climbing steep hills in their workC．do their work equipped with advanced toolsD．carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains58．According to the passage，why do the firefighters light “backfires”？A．To signal for help.B．To remove obstacles.C．To protect trees and bushes.D．To prevent the fire from spreading.59．What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots ?A．They are firefighters working in big cities.B．Their work requires physical strength.C．They are voluntary firefighters working for free.D．They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.60．What is the author’s attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A．Appreciative. B．Doubtful C．Worried. D．Critical.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(台州中学2009～2010学年期中试题)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

核心素养测评二十三必修5Unit 3Life in the future(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解ASlowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the Internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19. 42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age, ” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditionsdown the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist—or perhaps even replace—smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infr astructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting, you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease, cancers and an early death. In other words, even if you exercise energetically, sitting for long periods is bad for you.So what's wrong with sitting? One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and the muscles of your back and shoulders. While standing, you often change from leg to leg. All of this burns energy.For many people, weight gain is a matter of slow increase. Thus, a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between remaining thin and getting fat. So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you don't use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight, and makes you more likely to suffer from the health problems that fatness often brings.Some people have advanced solutions: replace your sitdown desk with a standup desk. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are practising on an exercise bike. Replace your office chair with a therapy (治疗) ball: this too uses more muscles, and more energy, than a normal chair, because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced. But whatever you choose, know this. It is clear: be careful of your chair.(再次强调主题)【语篇解读】即使你每天跑步经常锤炼，久坐也会让你体重逐步增加，同时增加患心脏病的风险。

核心素养测评六必修2Unit 1Cultural relics(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AOne of the most famous archaeological discoveries in all of history is The Terracotta Army. They were found by farmers digging for a well on the outskirts of Xi’an in 1974. Becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, the spectacular figures continue to attract millions of visitors from all over the world. Yet the excavations(发掘) are unfinished.Famously, archaeological work at the site and the accompanying tomb of the First Qin Emperor has been allowed to slow down until technology advances enough to preserve the artefacts currently buried underground. In addition to this, safety concerns have been raised regarding the unusually high levels of mercury (水银)found on the soil. It is supposed that this is from the mercury streams which were inlaid in the floor of the burial chamber, but only time will tell if this ancient tale is true.Currently 8000 soldiers have been found, each one with adistinctively different look. This was achieved through an early use of assembly-line-type construction. The warriors were assembled with 8 different heads to choose from, and features being added with additional clay by skilled craftsmen.Studying the warriors and their horses offers historians an important insight into this period in Chinese history. The technology used to assemble the underground army was truly remarkable. Over 40, 000 bronze weapons were found, and after more than 2000 years they still appear sharp. How is this possible? The ancient Chinese managed to use protective chrome plating (镀铬), something which was thought to have been invented in Germany in 1937!When it is completely uncovered, the sight will truly be spectacular and much more will be understood about China’s first Emperor and the level of technology the ancient Chinese possessed.【文章大意】本文是说明文。

核心素养测评三十二 选修7 Unit 2 Robots(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A世纪金榜导学号 If you live in Washington, D. C. , or Redwood, Calif. , you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding it’s own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life, ” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery. ”The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service in Milton Keynes, England. The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything, ” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, told The Washington Post’s Maura Judkis last year. “If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb the edges of a road. ”By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft. In its announcement, the company cited statistics from a Wakefield Research Poll for Comcast last year that found that 3 in 10 Americans who live in houses or townhouses have had packages stolen.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 主要介绍了一项新科技发明——世界上第一个机器人包裹递送服务。

B More than one billion young people risk damaging their hearing through the overuse of smartphones and other audio devices, the UN warned Tuesday, proposing new safety standards for safe volume levels.Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 466 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss. Young people are particularly likely to develop such risky listening habits. Around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35, or 1. 1 billion people, are at risk due to “long and severe exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices, ” the UN health agency said.In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued an international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices. WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15minutes as unsafe. The safe listening devices and systems standard calls for a “sound allowance” software to be included in all audio devices, to track the volume level and duration of a user’s exposure to sound, and to evaluate the risk posed to their hearing. This system could alert a user if they have dangerous listening habits.WHO is also calling for parental as well as automatic volume controls on audio devices to prevent dangerous use. While some smartphones and other audio devices already offer some of these features, the UN would like to see a uniform standard used to help protect against disabling hearing loss.“Think of it like driving on a highway, but without a speedometer in your car or a speed limit, ” Shelly Chadha of the WHO told reporters in Geneva. “What we’ve proposed is that your smartphones come fitted with a speedometer, with a measurement system which tells you how much sound you’re getting and tells you if you are going over the limit. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 主要介绍由于过度使用电子产品, 长期暴露于过高音量的环境中, 超过10亿年轻人面临听力丧失的风险, 因此联合国提议为安全音量设定新的安全标准。
