2016高三英语模拟卷新课标全国卷
2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings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。

Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in wood -making when I was in Grade 10,”he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”“I real ized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,”he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turn ed my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss , who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keepspushing him further.

You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card — the one you use for shopping — maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just wat ching…66. The author intends to tell us that ________.A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters67. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D. The sensor is multi-functional.68. According to the author, in 2040, new technology _______ .A. will turn everything into sensorsB. will free us from the keys we use todayC. will make the lock out of dateD. will remove all crimes69. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people ________.A. will have no entertainment outsideB. will replace TV with computersC. will be controlled by computersD. will have more fun at home70. The best title for the passage might be ________.A. Life at Home in the Year 2040B. Sensors and ComputersC. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

ABefore leaving work, Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air conditioner system at home.So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door, the temperature inside is perfect.You may wonder what a so-called smart home can do inside.Lee works for a company called Smart , testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets(自动化小配件), like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras.“I have cameras, and they follow all the way down the freeway to work, ”said Lee with pride, “What's going on at home when you are away? No problem, install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you can watch your house.”“You can check on the house, and I can look at the temperature.Believe it or not, if I want to turn on lights ahead of time, I can, ”added Lee.We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password,_turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss' house in Wisconsin.Steve did have permission to log on(登录)．“If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely.”This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive.Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.“I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on.”What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.21．What does the underlined word “password” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Security code. B．Crossword.C．Passport. D．Touch screen.22．What can be inferred from this passage?A．Steve's boss trusted him very much.B．Steve doesn't like to play jokes on his family.C．Steve could log on his boss' home because he had been given the key.D．It's expensive and difficult to apply a basic smart home system.23．According to the passage, the following is often a must for a smart home EXCEPT a________.A．cell phone B．computerC．camera D．car24．In which section of a newspaper will this passage probably be found?A．Entertainment. B．Science & Technology.C．Health & Care. D．Biography.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener”toward the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，”says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports，emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “gree n thinking ” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs；today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twentyfive years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that，nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.25．According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about________．A．the social movement B．recycling techniquesC．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day26．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A．The grassroots level. B．The business circle.C．Government officials. D．University professors.27．What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A．They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B．They have settled their environmental problems.C．They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A．Education. B．Planning.C．Green living. D．CO reduction.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004.And that's true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，”Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2yearold son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in lang uage education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29．What does that term “au pair”in the text mean?A．A mother raising her children on her own.B．A child learning a foreign language at home.C．A professor in language education of children.D．A young foreign woman taking care of children.30．Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them________．A．to live in China some day B．to speak the language at homeC．to catch up with other children D．to learn about the Chinese culture31．What can we infer from the text?A．Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.B．Educated women do better in looking after children.C．Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.D．Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DNEW YORK－Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ， a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said.“I'm not too superstitious(迷信的)．”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.About 1, 500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said.“I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases.Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”．Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost.Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.“It's not about the money，”Palmer said.“I've got enough money for it.I think that's all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese stateowned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer's mining business, he said.The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.32．What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?A．TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.B．TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.C．TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D．TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．1，500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912.B．The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.C．The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D．The Titanic was the world's largest ship at that time.34．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us the story of the Titanic. B．To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.C．To tell us about the future Titanic. D．To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.35．What's the best title of the passage?A．The Old Titanic B．The Blueprints of TitanicⅡC．The Unsinkable TitanicⅡD．Clive Palmer－A Billionaire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。
2016年高考英语全国模拟卷
高考英语模拟题第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分）ATo avoid becoming the lead story on the evening news, be prepared. Before you head out on a hike, check the weather, take plenty of water, and make sure someone knows where you’ll be and when you’ll be back. Bring clothes to keep you warm when wet. Avoid cotton, which is easy to take in moisture(潮气).“To avoid getting lost, check often to make sure you’re still on the trail(路线),” says John Dill, a search-and-rescue worker at Yosemite National Park in California. “The minute you think you might not be on the trail, stop.” If you’re not alone, focusing on the needs of others can help you get rid of your own fears. Other keys to survival: staying observant and remembering to rest. The surest way to get out alive is to take basic precautions(预防措施), such as taking a set of survival equipment. It includes waterproof matches for starting a fire, a folding knife for cutting branches, and a plastic tarp(防水布) for making shelter.Generally, people who try to find their own way out get along worse than those who stay, says Richard N. Bradley, MD, of the American Red Cross. Find shelter before dark, and try to keep dry. Stay visible so that anyone searching can see you. In a wide-open area, make a signal with colorful tools, make a big X out of rocks, or dig a long shallow hole.You can go several days without eating, so in most cases, you’d better not search for food, since there are lots of poisonous plants in the wild, says Dr Bradley. You cannot survive without water, so if you run out of water, it’s usually better to drink from a stream with suspect water than to go without. 21. By saying “becoming the lead story on the evening news” in Para. 1, the author really means ______.A. you will be interviewed by the journalistB. you will become famous for your survival in a forestC. the news that you are lost will spread around quicklyD. your experience in the wild will be reported in the evening news22. According to the writer, how can you avoid getting lost when you are alone?A. Make sure you don’t leave the trail.B. Remember not to stop onthe trail.C. Try to look for others’ help.D. Overcome the fear of getting lost.23. According to the passage, you may get into trouble if you ______.A. try to find food to fill your stomach in the wildB. stay in the shelter before darkC. remain where you get lost and wait for helpD. drink water from the stream24. Why does the author suggest digging a long shallow hole in a wide-open area when you get lost?A. To find some water to drink.B. To store some food you’ve brought along.C. To attract the rescuer’s attention.D. To use it as a shelter.BMany New Zealand children are being studied for sleep disorders(紊乱) after overloading on technology before bedtime. Specialists say computers and televisions disturb sleep patterns and cause learning, concentration and growth problems.Dr Alex Bartle, director of the Sleep Well Clinic, said that different sorts of technology were keeping children awake. Computer games and social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook were worse than TV for exciting young minds because they were more interactive(互动的). They should be switched off at least an hour before bedtime. “To fall asleep, you need to have a certain amount of calmness in the brain,” said Bartle. “being excited doesn’t help those brainwaves settle.”Professor Philippe Gander, director of Massey University’s Sleep / Wake Research Centre, said poor sleep had been linked to learning, behavioral and growth problems.Bartle said parents should make sure that children were well-rested and not kept awake by the technology surrounding them. “They need to encourage kids to get out during the day. Watching TV or playing on computers as soon as they get home isn’t good from a sleep point of view. Parents need to be strong enough to remove TVs or computers.”In Britain, National Health Service data show almost 3,000 under-11s werereferred to specialists for problems such as sleeplessness and sleep-walking(梦游) in 2007, up 26 percent from 2002.While there are no figures in New Zealand, experts have no doubt that the number of children in need of help is on the increase. “We have the same sorts of technology, the same lifestyles,” said Bartle.The Child Health Research Foundation in New Zealand has funded(资助) studies on sleep problems and is waiting for the results.25. What does “technology”mainly refer to according to the passage?A. pianos and guitarsB. televisions and computersC. learning machinesD.MP3s and MP4s26. According to Dr Alex Bartle’s opinion, we can learn that ______.A. Children should not watch TV or play online games in the eveningB. Watching TV does more harm to children than playing computer gamesC. Some parents fail to set a limit on the time their children spend on technologyD. About 3,000 New Zealand under-11s have sleep problems in 200727. Experts are sure that the number of New Zealand children with sleep problems is increasing because _____.A. New Zealand children play more online games than British childrenB. They have exact data from National Health ServiceC. New Zealand children are in the same situation as the British childrenD. They have exact data provided by hospitals28. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Children like computer games.B. Technology disturbs children’s sleep.C. The ways of dealing with sleep disorders.D. New Zealand parents should prevent children from watching TV.CTo “sacrifice” means to give up something in exchange for something better. My husband and I decided to make a sacrifice and exchange city life and move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3 years. We had a beautiful home in the city and plenty of money but little real safety because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it safely home at night. I hoped my children would be brought up in a peaceful and friendly environment.We were very happy in our new town, but life was very difficult economically. Income was based on the tourist seasons and jobs were few. Although many of the long- standing residents(居民) were well off in the town, it was a very competitive environment for newcomers. We had to adapt to the difficult new life over the past four years.Reading the newspapers from the big cities made us better believe that we had made the right choice. But it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have.However, our little daughter proved to me she had the ability to think about problems in a reasonable way. The son of a visiting friend preferred riding in the back of our old little truck to his father’s big car.Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James that he is wrong. He says that ‘Today, if you don’t have money you are nothing.’ I know that is not true. If you do have money you share it with your friends and if you don’t have money and they do, they share it with you. That is what makes us all rich.” It made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it.29. Why did the family move away from the city?A. They were tired of the city life.B. The city was not safe enough.C. Pollution in the city was serious.D. Life in the city was expensive.30. What was the worst to the author’s family in their new town?A. They couldn’t get used to the weather.B. It was hard for them to get a steady and satisfying income.C. Their neighbors were richer than them.D. They had few friends in the new environment.31. The author realized that their sacrifice was well worth it because _______.A. they had a beautiful home in the seaside villageB. they made a lot of money in the tourist seasonsC. their children could receive good educationD. their children could form a good value concept in the new environmentD.2014 Good Neighbor Dream Vacation PackageStay close to the magic and make your dreams come true.

ARosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was 15. She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and charity, her father disapproved of universityeducation for women. He refused to pay. An aunt stepped in andsaid Franklin should go to school, and she would pay for it.Franklin’s mother also took her side until her father finally gave in.She was invited to King’s College in London to join a team of scientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNAwith a graduate student. Franklin’s assumption（设想）was that itwas her own project. The laboratory’s second-in-command,Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at the time, and when hereturned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she’d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive（果断的）, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing（公开）, without Franklin’s permission, her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,”according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated（刺激、鼓励）by a general knowledge”of Franklin’s and Wilkin’s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin’s photo and findings. Franklin didn’t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn’t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing（教养）. Franklin “didn’t do anything that would invite criticism… (that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.21. Wilkins’ relationship with Franklin was characterized by __________.A. unity and harmonyB. confusion and competitionC. cooperation and miscommunicationD. misunderstanding and conflict22. What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began torace”?A. He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.B. He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.C. He was satisfied with the importance of Photo 51.D. He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made.23. What is Brenda Maddox’s main intention according to the quote in the lastparagraph?A. To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.B. To criticize King’s College and Cambridge.C. To emphasize Franklin’s importance in science.D. To deny Watson’s and Crick’s contribution to science.24. Franklin’s career as a scientist demonstrates （证明）_________.A. that her work was pointing at the most difficult problemB. that she was the only female scientist during the periodC. the importance of DNA in modern scienceD. that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientistsBThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day26. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. eight times a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. twice a day27. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.28. The text probably comes from .A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. an official documentCRobotic PuppyRoll over, sit and fetch aren’t commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes andpointy （尖的）ears and can sit, shake, dance and make alltypes of dog noises. It also has tracking capabilities to helplocate its owner. “The beauty about CHIP is that it has its ownthing going on,” said Sufer, CTO at WowWee. “It has its ownlife and own kind of intelligence. Even if you’re not around,it’s always doing something.”CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball. The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner. The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons（图标）for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup（小狗）a digital belly rub. With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room.“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months,” Davin Sufer, told , “We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start ship ping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.The high-tech toy company made its debut（处女作）in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien, which sold millions of units. MiP, which hit shelves last year, is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents. Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It’s loud, fast and active.About 15 years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog---Tekno, the Robotic Puppy. The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production. Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions, but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.29. According to Sufer, the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that _____.A. it is loaded with special sensorsB. it can make all kinds of dog noisesC. it has quick response to the commandsD. it can do something without instructions30. CHIP can follow its owner with the help of_____.A. a watchB. a smart wristbandC. pointy earsD. blue LED eyes31. From the passage, we can know_______.A. CHIP can be bought in the store nowB. WowWee introduced its first product last yearC. Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppyD. MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppyDA Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.An electromagnetic field（电磁场）will pull particles（微粒）in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.“It's li ke when you have a balloon which has static（静电）and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated（复制）outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify（净化）the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.32. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky33. According to the passage, ______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution34. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a goodplace…... ”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.35. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is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。
