Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the world’s first licensed armless pilot.The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in communications. Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified(未经改造的) car with an unrestricted license, to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses.Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005. Cox earned her pilot’s certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet.“She's a good pilot. She's rock solid,” said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots,some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.24. What can we learn from the first paragraphs?A. Oxford and Cambridge felt a little disappointed.B. No armless people had got a pilot certificate before.C. Jessica Cox wasn’t allowed to use the word “can’t”.D. The word “can’t” would disappear from the En glish dictionary.25. What do you think of Jessica Cox ?A .She is a clever and brave girl. B. She is positive and determined.C. She is indeed a poorly educated girl.D. She only takes interest in aircraft.26. What does the underlined wor d “prosthetic mean in Paragraph 3?A. artificialB. damagedC. unusualD. abnormal27. After graduating from university, Jessica Cox _____.A. suffered failure when searching for jobs.B. made a start to take training to become a pilotC. decided to use her feet as most people use hands.D. tried her best to take care of herself in her daily life.CResearchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logic al part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome(基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientistswere the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.28. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B.The logical part of human brain.C.The nature of human olfactory system.D.The relationship between pizzas and feelings.29. Which of the following can help people concentrate?A. Bread.B. Pizza.C. Coffee.D. Fast food.30. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Every people can recognize up to 50 smells.B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Logic and behavior.B. Smell and its influence.C. Sense ability and food tastes.D. Olfactory genes and its system.DDo you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help youmake money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so conve nient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?32.What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?cking in moneyB.Full of curiosityC.Willing to help othersD.Unsatisfied with their life33.Who may be against the sharing economy?A.A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking placeB.A priest in the church near Kings CrossC.A traveller who needs accommodationD.A well-known high-end holiday hotel34.Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A.They can gain extremely hug e profitsB.They needn’t pay any feeC.There are few rules to limit themD.The new business has no risks35.Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?eless but developedpetitive but unpracticalC.Effective and worryingD.Traditional and acceptable第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

新疆兵团第三师第一中学2014— 2015学年度高三上学期摸底英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him22.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D. Lying on the ground.23.We can infer from the text that ________.A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recoveryB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery24.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable ExperienceBIt must be something that many American companies hold a baby contest.

He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for e mployees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”29.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes30.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because__________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company31.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT __________.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees’ motivationD. making employees happierDIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique is that we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's goi ng to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst tr affic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this. ”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.32.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to__________.A. show care for themB. introduce their lifeC. solve traffic problemsD. raise the topic33.What is unique about ClearPath?A.
