Cameron thought of himself as merely organized.He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything ,he did just enough to get it right.Exactly right, of course as he was fond of telling his staff, “if it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong”.Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out.And doing the corrections exactly right of course.Strangely enough ,his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company ,and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department ,as a sort of elite(出类拔萃)unit.Those programs that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron’s men got those.“It’s mission(任务)critical—give it to Cameron” was almost a catch—phrase with his team.It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things.He wanted things done just so ,not because of a personal taste ,but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.1.“Mission-critical” work given to Cameron because.A.C ameron’s work was error—free B.Cameron was critical C.he didn’t mind working late D.he had a good team 2.Working for Cameron, people felt that .A.they were part of an eliteB.their mission was criticalC.Cameron was very particular about thingsD.Cameron was patient and responsible3.According to the underlined part in paragraph 5,what is meant by someone “who couldn’t cut it”?A.He didn’t cut corners.B.He wasn’t good enough.C.He had the wrong measurements.D.He was a perfection.4.What can we learn about Cameron?A.He never got things Wrong.B.He didn’t allow for any mistake.C.He encouraged work to be done in office hours.D.He was often misunderstood.5.The attitude of the author towards Cameron is that of being .A.positive B.sympatheticC.non-subjective D.optimistic【参考答案】1---5、AACBC【由2014高考仿真模拟冲刺卷(5)改编】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

FILTON, just outside Bristol, is where Britain’s fleet of Concorde supersonic(超音速的)airliners was built. There, something remarkable is being created. Little by little a machine is “printing” a complex titanium bracket (钛合金支架), about the size of a shoe, which normally would have to be cut from a solid block of metal. Brackets are only the beginning. The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner.Unrealistic as this may seem, many other people are using 3D printing technology to create similarly remarkable things. These include medical implants, jewellery, football boots designed for individual feet, lampshades, racing-car parts, solid-state batteries and customized mobile phones. Some are even making mechanical devices (仪器). At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Peter Schmitt, a PhD student, has been printing something that is like the workings of a grandfather clock. It took him a few attempts to get right, but eventually he removed the plastic clock from a 3D printer, hung it on the wall and pulled down the counterweight. It started ticking.Engineers and designers have been using 3D printers for more than a decade, but mostly to make original types quickly and cheaply before they embark on the expensive business of tooling up a factory to produce the real thing. As 3D printers have become more able to work with a broader range of materials, including production-grade plastics and metals, the machines are increasingly being used to make final products too. More than 20% of the output of 3D printers is now final products rather than original types, according to Terry Wohlers, who runs a research firm specializing in the field. He predicts that this will rise to 50% by 2020.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Filton is in the centre of Bristol.B. Peter tried to print a clock, but in vain.C. a remarkable metal bracket is being created.D. 3D printing technology is available to all of us.2. The underlined word “embark” probably means “_________”.A. workB. landC. dependD. fix3. We can conclude from the last paragraph that __________.A. Terry Wohlers’ s firm will make great profitsB. the technology of 3D printers will be widely adoptedC. 3D printers have been in use for at least 100 yearsD. engineers and designers prefer printing original products4. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _______.A. time and eventsB. definition and descriptionC. contrast and conclusionD. examples and statements【参考答案】1—4、 CABD2016高考模拟题。

Even before my father left us,my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining,“Mom, I can’t peel potatoes。
I have only one hand。
"Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"In the second grade,our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next。
When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed,and I went home crying。
That night I told Mom about it。
She hugged me,and I saw her “we’ll see about tha t” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground,Mom looked carefully at the bars。

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lo se a few pounds too; so it's a winwin situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a threeyear waiting list.George C.Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.本文讲述了由于生活费用增高,加上经济下降,越来越多的人开始自己种菜,并且现在人们开车少了,旅游少了,有更多的时间来种菜,减少生活费用。

(2015·江苏)In the United States alone,over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year.Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste 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 U.S. 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—al l 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 packagingthey produce is usually based on money.Why,they ask,should cities or towns be responsible for paying to 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.文章大意:文章主要讲述了电子垃圾的产生、危害以及相关解决措施。

Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer。

It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked。
I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments,my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona。

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets. “Storm at Sea”,a short poem written around 700,is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean's breast.As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of subocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild;always it is strong and striking.1.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is ________.A.always energetic B.lacking in livelinessC.shaped like a square D.favored by ancient poets解析细节理解题。
