【江苏省苏锡常镇四市2018届高三教学情况调研（一）】AELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD—UNTIL NOW.Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one ofmankind’s most important journeys: from a time when only a few couldeven imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, aworld without electricity would be unimaginable.Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago,mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive (到处存在的)economic and environmental regulation.Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible—from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future.56. According to the passage, the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us .A. pioneering science of electricityB. significant journeys of electricityC. the people who invented electricityD. the research which was about electricity57. Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying?A. Because a policy-maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers’ interest.B. Because a policy-maker can help promote the better use of electricity.C. Because policy-makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market.D. Because policy-makers can take control of the economy through electricity.【答案】56-57 BB【解析】第56题：B 广告信息类文章，首段信息为文章主旨。
定位第一段最后一句“for most of us，a world without electricity would be unimaginable”可见电力在世界上的重要性。
第57题：B 根据第三段“and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways”可知通过引用奥巴马的例子来强调如何运用和理解电力是至关重要的，故这本书可以帮助人们更好地运用电力。

Population ChangeWhy is the world’ s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reasonfor the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people havestopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 theaverage age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century,declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’ s population live in regions w the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman)and almost alldeveloped nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developingnations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world ive in such’ s people now l nations), but you’ d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regionstoo, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does itimply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population zxxkdecline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economicgrowth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could inviteRussia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise.Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by amassive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993andpeople in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quitesure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trendsdon ’ t bend, Russia’ s population will be about the size of Yemen’ s by the year 2050.In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south,where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist,birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. Intotal, 25% of India’-sageworkingpopulation has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the countrypotential work force could be totally uneducated.One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it isalmost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20%from 2010 — 2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. Asa result it’ s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strongeconomic growth over the longer term.Population Change71.【答案】lower【解析】根据＂declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st＂可知， 21 世纪的出生率比 20 世纪低，且 much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级，故填 lower 。

2018届 江苏高三 英语二模 分类汇编(阅读含答案)
2018届江苏高三英语二模分类汇编---阅读（苏锡常镇）ASecond-Hand Finds56. What can we learn from the passage?A. Sofa sellers are always confused how they can sell their items out.B. If the frame of the bike is solid, we can often replace anything missing or worn.C. Stuffed animals are not recommended for they are always difficult to clean.D. Car seats and drop-side cribs are always out-of-date and unfashionable.57. How does the writer recommend finds to buyers?A. By introducing characteristics of items.B. By offering detailed descriptions.C. By telling different stories of the items.D. By comparing items with others.BFun is hard to have.Fun is a rare jewel.Somewhere along the line people got the modem idea that fur was there for the asking, that people deserved fun, that if we didn’t have a little fun every day, we would turn into puritans (清教徒)，“Was it fun?” became the question tha t overshadowed all other questions. When the pleasure got to be the main thing, the fun fetish (迷恋) was sure to follow. Everything was supposed to be fun. If it wasn’t fun, then we were going to make it fun, or else.Think of all the things that got the reputation of being fun. Family outings were supposed to be fun. Education was supposed to be fun. Work was supposed to be fun. Walt Disney, church and staying fit were supposed to be fun.Fun got to be such a big thing that everybody started to look for more and more thrilling ways to supply it. One way was to step up the level of danger So that you could be sure that, no matter what, you would manage to have a little fun.Big occasions were supposed to be fun, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. But we ended up going through every Big Event we ever celebrated, waiting for the fun to start. So I should tell you just in case you’re worried about your fun capacity while you are sitting around waiting for the fun to start, that not much is. I don’t mea n to put a damper on things. I just mean we ought to treat fun reverently. It is a mystery. It cannot be caught like a virus. It cannot be trapped like an animal. When fun comes in on little dancing feet, we probably won’t be expecting it. In fact, I bet i t comes when we’re doing our duty, our job.I remember one day, long ago, on which I had an especially good time. Pam Davis and I, aged 12, walked into a store that morning to buy some candy. She got her Bit-O-Honey. I got my malted milk balls, chocolate stars. Then we started back to her house. It was a long way to Pam’s house but every time we got weary, Pam would put her hand over her eyes, scan the horizon like a sailor and say, “We ought to reach home by nightfall,” at which point the two of us would laughuntil we thought we couldn’t stand it another minute. Then after we got calm, she’d say it again. You should have been there. It was the kind of day and friendship and occasion that made me deeply regretful that I had to grow up.It is fun.58. What does the author mainly want to talk about in this passage?A. The definition of fun.B. The importance of fun.C. The best way to find fun.D. The common occasions to find fun.59. When the author tells us to “treat fun reverently”, she is en couraging us to .A. look forward to having funB. show great respect for funC. have fun less frequentlyD. teach others how to have fun60. Who would benefit most from the article?A. Those who have great fun in big occasions.B. Those who prefer friendship to having fun.C. Those who are worried about not having fun.D. Those who regret having grown up.CAn eclipse happens when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet passes into the shadow of another heavenly body. There are two types of eclipses on Earth: lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.The moon orbits Earth and, at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the light from the sun. This is an eclipse of the moon—a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full and can be seen from Earth at night.There are two types of lunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses.A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. The moon is in Earth’s shadow and the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, which causes Earth’s atmosphere to filter or block out most of the blue light. However, a partial lunar eclipse happens when only a part of the moon enters Earth’s shadow. What people see from Earth during a partial lunar eclipse depends on how the sun, Earth and moon are lined up.A lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every year, but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look directly at a lunar eclipse although a pair of binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon.Sometimes when the moon orbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.There are three types of solar eclipses: total solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses and annular eclipses(日环食). During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadows on Earth. Solar eclipses happen once every 18 months. Unlike lunar eclipses, solar eclipses only last for a few minutes Scientists use solar ec lipses as an opportunity to study the sun’s corona(日冕). The corona is the sun’s top layer. During an annular eclipse, NASA (the U. S. space agency) uses ground and space instruments to view the corona when the moon blocks the sun’s glare. The sudden blocking of the sun during an eclipse reduces the light and changes the temperature on the ground. This creates conditions that can affect local weather and animal behavior.It’s important to never look directly at the sun—it can permanently damage your eyes! Solar radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one’s eyes known as eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solar eclipse is by using specially-designed equipment.61. What can we know about “a lunar eclipse”?A. I may create conditions that can affect local weather and animal behavior.B. It can be seen when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth.C. It usually happens once every 18 months and only lasts for a few minutes each time.D. It happens when the moon blocks the light from the sun, which causes the moon to shine.62. Which of the following cam replace the underlined word “glare”?A. heatB. shadowC. shineD. radiation63. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. people will experience a temperature drop when lunar eclipses happenB. eclipses are the result of the shadow cast by the moon onto EarthC. total lunar eclipses are more difficult to observe than other types of lunar eclipsesD. there can be eclipses even if the three heavenly bodies are not exactly lined up64. Why is it safer to watch a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?A. Because moonlight is not as strong as sunlight.B. Because a lunar eclipse lasts longer than a solar eclipse.C. Because special equipment can be employed to view a lunar eclipse.D. Because a lunar eclipse has much more steady light than solar eclipse.DThe eyeliner makes the dark circles less pronounced. The lipstick hides the trembling. The ponytail (马尾辫) masks missing patches of hair. I might look a bit thinner, but everyone will ask about my new diet. One hour of preparation and I look like myself. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it—wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie.Checking my makeup one last time, I slip on a cute pair of flats- heels are too dangerous with shaky legs—and grab my Hollister bag. Walking downstairs, I breathe in the sweet smell of waffles and juice.“Morning, Mom,” I call.“Moring, baby,” she sings. “Did you sleep well?”“Better than I have been.”She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute. “Any improvement is good,” she says half-heartedly.“Of course.”“I made waffles.”“Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.”I sit at the table and she hands me a plate. The thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I force a smile and thank my mother again. She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter. When she turns around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate, only missing a few bites.I smile apologetically.“I’m not very hungry this morning.”“You’ll need your strength for this afternoon. Morrison will wait for you.” She bites her lip.“I packed your lunch.”“I’m 18, Mom. I can pack my own lunch. You have more important things to do. ”She reaches for the paper bag. “But now I know you’ll have something to eat. And you need to eat, okay? You have to keep your strength up.”Sighing, I take the bag. I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won’t be eaten, not any more than the one yesterday or the day before. And even if I do eat it, I’ll just throw it up later.“Honey, have you thought about what I said the other day?” she asks.I remain silent.“Sweetheart, you can’t hide the secret forever. Eventually you’re going to miss scho ol and people will start asking questions.”“Mom, I have two months left of high school. I can make it till then. I’m class president. I was voted ‘Most popular’, ‘Best smile’ and ‘Most likely to succeed’. I’m the girl who’s got it all together. People don’t want to know that the girl w ho’s got it all together doesn’t have it all together. People don’t want to know that girl is to be parted!”“Honey, don’t say that. You’re not. . .”“Yes, I am. You heard Dr. Morrison. I have maybe a year left. But that mea ns I can graduate and then never see those people again. I’ ll depart and they’ll feel sorry for me, but at least I won’t have to tolerate their pity.”“But. . .” she tries to interrupt.“Mom, listen to me. I don’t want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers, ‘Look at her. Poor thing. She has cancer. ’I can’t handle that. I want to be normal. Just for these last two months.”“Okay,” she whispers. “Okay. Just remember, it’s okay if you don’t have it all together. Sometimes things just fall apart and there’s nothing we can do.”“Thanks, Mom.” I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the check. “①”“②” she replies. This exchange, once taken for granted, is now a vital part of every morning, every afternoon, and every night. Three little words, followed by four more, have come to mean more than an entire conversation. They bridge all gaps and disagreements, because we both know there is now a restricted number left.Keys in hand, I open the door and blink(眨眼)in the early morning sun. Perfect.65. The unde rlined word “half-heartedly” implies.A. the mom is worried about her daughter’s moodB. the mom believes her daughter slept well last nightC. the mom is too busy doing her housework a that timeD. the mom knows there is no improvement in her d aughter’s health66.

We can learn from the passage that__________.A. first aid staff can provide cycle capesB. some roads may have normal traffic flow on themC. refreshments are free to participants during the rideD. Bike Events won’t charge you for t he return of your bikeBAnonymizing job applications to eliminate（消除）discrimination is not easy.“If you’ve got the grades, the skills and the determination, this government will ensure you can succeed,” declared the British prime minister, on October 26th, as he introduced plans to tackle discrimination in the workplace. Ten big employers in the public and private sectors—including the civil service, HSBC and Deloitte—have agreed to start recruiting（招募）on a “name-blind” basis in Britain; others may also follow suit. In such schemes, those drawing up shortlists of applicants cannot see their names, with the aim of reducing racial and sexual bias. But do they work?Several countries have experimented with name-blind applications. In 2010 Germany’s Anti-Discrimination Agency, an advisory body, sponsored a voluntary scheme to get businesses to try it. In France a law passed in 2006 made the anonymizing of applicants’ CVs compulsory for firms of over 50 employees. But the government was slow in laying down the conditions for how the law would operate, and only started performing it last year.In Sweden and the Netherlands there have been some trials. Discrimination against job applicants based on their names is well documented, particularly among ethnic minorities. An experiment in Germany found that candidates with German-sounding names were 14% more likely to be called for an interview than candidates with Turkish ones. A review of various studies, by the Institute for Study of Labour (IZA), a German outfit, found that anonymized job applications boost the chances of ethnic minority candidates being invited to an interview. A Sweden study found that it led to more ethnic-minority people being hired.However, the results from other trials are less clear. A second Swedish experiment found that only women, not immigrants, were boosted by anonymous recruitment. According to the IZA, experiments in the Netherlands showed no increase in the likelihood of ethnic-minority candidatesbeing offered a job if their CVs were seen anonymously, suggesting that discrimination had slid in at the interview stage. Ensuring that a candidate is completely anonymous is also tricky.A 2012 French study found that foreign-born candidates and those from poor districts were less likely to be called for interview when applications were anonymized. Its authors suggested that recruiters may have used other indicators, such as knowledge of Arabic, to identify race. Inplaces suffering from religious tension, such as Northern Ireland, the name of a school can reveal a candidate’s faith, while a few years missing on a CV may suggest maternity leave（产假）, and thus that the candidate is female. Going name-blind when shortlisting candidates may be a sensible start, but it is likely to be just a small step towards ending hiring bias.58. What can learn from the passage?A. In France, the government started the anonymized recruitment in 2006.B. In Germany, chances of ethnic-minority name-blind candidates being interviewed are slighter.C. In the Netherlands, the anonymous recruitment is more of a trick than an effective practice.D. In Sweden, not only women but also immigrants may well enjoy a higher recruitment rate.59. What does the underlined phrase “drawing up” in paragraph 2 mean?A. writing outB. taking inC. making upD. picking out60. By writing the passage, the author tries to ______.A. inform readers of the idea of anonymizing job applicationsB. explain how anonymization in recruitment is operatedC. discuss whether anonymization in job applications worksD. promote the strategies of name-blind recruitmentCSAN FRANCISCO---When you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins, you are transported to a tiny room with white walls. Your task is to break out of the room, but you cannot use your hands. There is no joystick or game pad. You must use your thoughts.You turn toward a ball on the floor, and your brain sends a command to pick it up. With another thought, you send the ball crashing into a mirror, breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers on a wall. You mentally type those numbers into a large keypad by the door. And you are out.Designed by Neurable, a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide, an electrical engineer and neuroscientist (神经科学家), the game offers what you might call a computer mouse for the mind, a way of selecting items in a virtual world with your thoughts.Combining a headset with virtual reality goggles and sensors that can read your brain waves, this prototype (样机) is a few years from the market. And it is limited in what it can do. You cannot select an object with your mind unless you first look in its direction, narrowing the number of items you may be considering.But it works. I recently played the game, which has the working title Awakening, when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco, and a few hundred others tried it this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles.The prototype is among the earliest fruits of a widespread effort to embrace technology that was once science fiction---and in some ways still is. Driven by recent investments from the US government and by the herd mentality (从众心理) in the tech world, a number of startups and bigger companies like Facebook are working on ways to mentally control machines. They are also looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology. The increased interest in neurotechnology is partly a result of an effort the government administration started in 2013. The initiative helped create significant government financing for brain-interface companies and related work in academy.The Neurable prototype shows what is possible today. Using electroencephalography, or EEG---a means of measuring electrical brain activity that has been around for a decade---the company can provide simple ways of mentally interacting with a game. Some companies hope to go much further and want to build ways of performing nearly any computing task with the mind. Imagine a brain interface for rapidly typing on a smartphone.At Neurable, which is based in Boston, Alcaide and the member of his team are pushing the limits of EEG headsets. Although sensors can read electrical brain activity from outside the skull, it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise. Using computer algorithms (算法) based on research that Alcaide originally published as a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that is not usually possible.The algorithms learn from your behavior. Before playing the game, you train them to recognize when you are focusing your attention on an object. A pulse of light bounces around the virtual room, andeach time it hits a small colored ball in front of you, you think about the ball. At that moment, when you focus on the light and it stimulates your brain, the system reads the electrical spikes of your brain activity. “Once we understand them, we can use them.” Alcaide expects.61. Which of the following is TRUE about the design of the game?A. You can break the glass with a simple click of the mouse.B. You can select as many items around you as you like.C. The game has boosted the government revenues since its release.D. The game can’t work without sensors and virtual reality technology.62. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6?A. What was a fantasy is coming true with technology.B. Whatever efforts you make might not fruit success.C. Science fiction leads to the development of the prototype.D. The technology behind the prototype enjoys wide popularity.63. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s not uncommon that we usually have different voices in mind.B. There’s still a long way to go before the game is fully matured.C. The Alcaide team focuses on limiting the usage of headsets.D. It’s impossible for Alcaide to read activities fast and accurately.64. What might be the best title of the passage?A. A game controlled with mindB. A machine leading to the futureC. Neurable: king of tomorrowD. Neurology: a cutting-edge zoneDMiss Martha, aged 40, kept a little bakery on the corner.Two or three times a week a customer came in in whom she began to take an interest. He spoke English with a strong German accent. His clothes were worn and darned in places, and wrinkled and baggy in others. But he looked neat, and had very good manners.1.He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf. Stale ones were two for five. Never did he call for anything but stale bread.Once Miss Martha saw a red and brown stain on his fingers. She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in a attic painting pictures and ate stale bread.Often when Miss Martha sat down to her chops and light rolls and jam and tea she would sigh, and wish that the gentle-mannered artist might share her tasty meal instead of eating his dry bread.In order to test her theory as to his occupation, she brought from her room one day a painting that she had bought at a sale, and set it against the shelves behind the bread counter.Two days afterward the customer came in."Two loafs of stale bread, if you please."A fine picture, madam," he said while she was wrapping up the bread."Yes?" says Miss Martha "I do admire art. You think it is a good picture?""Der balance," said the customer, is not in good drawing. Then he took his bread, and hurried out.How and kindly his eyes shone behind his spectacles! To be able to judge perspective at a glance -- and to live on stale bread! But genius often has to struggle before it is recognized. She thought he began to look thinner. 2. Her heart ached to add something good to eat to his meagre purchase, but her courage failed at the act. She did not dare affront him. She knew the pride of artists.Miss Martha took to wearing her blue-dotted silk waist behind the counter. In the back room she cooked a mysterious compound of quince seeds and borax.One day the customer came in as usual, and called for his stale loaves. 3. While Miss Martha was reaching for them, a fire-engine came lumbering past. He hurried to the door to look, as any one will. Suddenly inspired, Miss Martha seized the opportunity. With a bread knife Miss Martha made a deep slash in each of the stale loaves, inserted a generous quantity of butter, and pressed the loaves tight again.When the customer turned once more she was tying the paper around them.When he had gone, after an unusually pleasant little chat, Miss Martha smiled to herself. For a long time that day her mind dwelt on the subject. She imagined the scene when he should discover her little deception.He would prepare for his luncheon of dry bread and water. He would slice into a loaf -- ah!Miss Martha blushed. Would he think of the hand that placed it there as he ate? Would he?The front door bell jangled viciously. Somebody was coming in, making a great deal of noise.Martha hurried to the front. Two men were there. One was a young man smoking a pipe -- a man she had never seen before. 4. The other was her artist.His face was very red, his hat was on the back of his head, his hair was wildly rumpled. He clinched his two fists and shook them ferociously at Miss Martha. At Miss Martha."Dummkopf!" he shouted with extreme loudness; and then "Tausendonfer!" or something like it in German.Miss Martha leaned weakly against the shelves and laid one hand on her blue-dotted silk waist. The young man took the other by the collar."Come on," he said, "you've said enough." He dragged the angry one out at the door to the sidewalk, and then came back."Guess you ought to be told, ma'am," he said, "what the row is about. That's Blumberger. He's an architectural draftsman. I work in the same office with him."He's been working hard for three months drawing a plan for a new city hall. It was a prize competition. He finished inking the lines yesterday. You know, a draftsman always makes his drawing in pencil first. When it's done he rubs out the pencil lines with handfuls of stale bread crumbs. That's better than India rubber."Blumberger's been buying the bread here. Well, to-day -- well, you know, ma'am, that butter isn't -- well, Blumberger's plan isn't good for anything now except to cut up into railroad sandwiches."Miss Martha went into the back room. She took off the blue-dotted silk waist and put on the old brown serge she used to wear. Then she poured the quince seed and borax mixture out of the window into the ash can.65. Why did the customer always buy two loaves of stale bread?A. Because he was to poor to afford better ones.B. Because the bread was more delicious and to his taste.C. Because the bread had a special usage for his work.D. Because he wanted to create chances to see Miss Martha.66. Which of the following can best describe Miss Martha?A. Sympathetic, dreamy and decisiveB. Disciplined, ambitious and generousC. Proud, sensitive and conservativeD. Practical, dependable and diligent67. What does the “blue-dotted silk waist” symbolize?A. Miss Martha’s fine appreciation for art.B. Miss Martha’s affection fo r the customer.C. Miss Martha’s strong sense of ceremony.D. Miss Martha’s confidence in her baking skills68.

He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of swee t milky tea from a café. “Everyone here has his own bank with easy access，” boasts Mr.Dahir. “Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.”Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. “I don't even carry m oney any more，” says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. “I haven't seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There's no waiting for it and no counting of cash.”The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer's payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment.Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well.The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be read y to abandon currency. “Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told thatI needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken，” said an interviewee.Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported.Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.Is Cash Becoming Outdated？Passage outline Supporting detailsAn example of electronic payments Barkhad Dahir claims that he can almost purchase (1)________ he needs by using hismobile phone.Reasons for the (2)________ for electronicpayments ·They can be more (3)________ without waiting in line or counting the cash, whose characteristics include (4)________ and simplicity.·They reduce the cost of printing money and allow the government to (5)________ cash activities.Possible(6)________ of electronic payments ·Some people are(7)________ whether electronic payments can still be effective during times when the power goes off.·There are (8)________ that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks.·It is possible that electronic dealings can be (9)________ and reported for illegal use.Conclusion Cash is not (10)________ to be completely replaced unless privacy, security and convenience are balanced and settled.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down. Having conditions in the classroom that are like those at home means that more boys are reading in the classroom. Children also arrive earlier and leave later. which translates into half an hour of extra learning a day on average.”Wearing no shoes also means the cleaning bill decreased by 27 percent and schools need tospend less money on furniture because they don't need to buy a chair and a table for every child as they can sit on the 21. In the classroom. shoeless kids were found to be more_.A. absent-mindedB. politeC. focusedD. restless22. What can we conclude from Professor Heppell's words in Paragraph 5?A. Children learn faster in an upright sitting position.B. Classrooms should have their conditions improved.C. Habits formed at an early age are rarely changed.D. Children naturally prefer to read in a relaxed position.23. Why do children in northern Europe go to class shoeless?A. They have to he barefoot for their family conditions.B. They follow the customs front their ancestors.C. They feel more comfortable without shoesD. They have to leave the muddy shoes outside the classrooms.24. What could he the best title for the text?A. Policies help schools cut down on spendingB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC. "Shoeless" policies benefit kids in England$来&源：D. Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons（浣熊）would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled（散落的）pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived（被剥夺的）.25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.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。

The larger species reaches 7m in width.In 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D'Agostino on giant manta rays（蝠鲼）, which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs（软骨鱼类）could be classed as self—aware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and D'Agostino used the mirror self—recognition test （MSR）. It has been used to prove self—awareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animal's body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highlyrepetitive movements and self—directed behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and D'Agostino's study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites（先决条件）for self—awareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm self—recognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical（伦理道德的）practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1,000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.(1) Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D'Agostino conducted the study to.A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditionsB. display that mantas can interact with human beingsC. illustrate where self—recognition test can be appliedD. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves(2) What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The final result of Ari and D'Agostino's study.B. The real purpose of Ari and D'Agostino's study.C. The theoretical basis of Ari and D'Agostino's study.D. The far—reaching significance of Ari and D'Agostino's study.(3) How did Ari and D'Agostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas' behaviours.B. By recording mantas' colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from self-recognition tests.D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.(4) The result of Ari and D'Agostino's study could lead to.A. better protection of mantasB. larger—scale hunting for mantasC. tougher restriction on ethical fisheriesD. further research into other sea animals19、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模第52~54题6分(每题2分)CThe most important determining factor of success or failure — at work and in life — is self—awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from another's point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same day—to—day threats to our existence, self—awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive．But for most people it is easier to choose self—delusion（自我欺瞒）rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly "me" focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with self—esteem （自负）, constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed（有缺陷）, but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What's scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self—awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self—awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It would be easy to assume that someone with internal self—awareness would also be externally aware—that being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how we're seen. Strangely,research has often shown no relationship between the two— some studies have even revealed an inverse （相反的）one.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self—examination can have hidden pitfalls（陷阱）that make insight actually impossible.(1) The first three paragraphs center around.A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestorsB. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the pastC. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs todayD. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement(2) What's the problem with "me" focused society nowadays?A. People's performance and abilities are overlooked.B. It's difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.C. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.(3) What does the writer stress in this passage?A. Knowing how others see us is the key to success.B. Understanding ourselves inward contributes to a better fate.C. Self﹣examination helps us gain true insight into ourselves.D. Internal self﹣awareness and external self﹣awareness are closely related.20、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模第55~60题12分(每题2分)DZelda D'Aprano was an unstoppable force, and if you didn't like it, you best got out of the way. It's through my work as a director of the Victorian Women's Trust that I got to know Zelda, and she has been a personal hero of mine ever since. I feel lucky for every conversation we had together. Each time I walked away feeling like I could do anything, and she used those powers very skillfully. She told me to ask for more from the world, even if I wanted the sun. So, to honour my friend: I'll have your moon too, thanks.As a staunch feminist（女权主义者）, labour unionist, and pay justice advocate, Zelda had an everlasting impact on the women's movement and labour movements within Australia. She also took the time in her later years to help and nurture young feminists. I, and many others, are beneficiaries of that kindness.She left school at 14 to join the workforce, and it was in this factory work she began to witness first—hand the inequality between male and female workers. With each job she took she would point out the injustice of this disparity（悬殊）to her employers and would be swiftly dismissed. She didn't care about personal consequences, she cared about fairness.In 1969, fed up with the lack of progress for women, Zelda secured herself to the doors of the Commonwealth Building to protest the dismissal in the arbitration court of the equal pay case, of which she was a test case with the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union （AMIEU）. In an all — too —familiar pattern, for this "outspokenness" she was fired from the AMIEU,The legislation Zelda fought for has been all but eroded（逐渐消失的）. The Equal Pay Act of 1972 has been aggressively watered down to become the "Fair Work Act" and no longer even mentions "pay equality", "gender discrimination" or "equal pay". We allowed ourselves to be the frogs in the hot water. Zelda noticed, and I'm heartbroken she couldn't stay long enough to see us fix it. But fix it we will.When Zelda was chained to the doors of parliament, a police officer began to criticize her. "Aren't you embarrassed? It's just you on your own," he said. Without hesitating, she replied "No. Because soon there will be three, then there will be five, and then there will be …". She was right. Ten days after her protest she was joined by Alva Geikie and Thelma Solomon. From that action, the three women founded the Women's Action Committee and the Women's Liberation Centre, from which the Women's Liberation Movement in Melbourne was born. This changed the landscape of feminist organising in Australia forever.In her 1995 biography, Zelda described wanting to get more women involved in activism, because "we had passed the stage of caring about a 'lady—like' image because women had for too long been polite …and were still being ignored". She didn't care about what people thought of her, she cared about fairness.The Women's Action Committee organised the very first pro—choice rally in 1975, with an impressive turnout of over 500women. It was reported by the media as a "horde of angry barefoot women" taking to the streets. Zelda assured me they were definitely wearing shoes. She really did walk the walk, throughout her entire life.In 2015, the Victorian Trades Hall Council introduced the Zelda D'Aprano Award for union activism. In a bittersweet coincidence, the nominations（提名）for the 2018 award opened on the very day she passed away. The flag at Trades Hall was lowered to half mast in her honour.The legacy（遗产）of Zelda D'Aprano cannot be contained within memorial writings, and it cannot die. It lives within the hearts of feminists — young and old — who, inspired by her spirit, will continue to fight for equality and fairness. It lives in the fire in our bellies. It lives in the smirk（假笑）we wear when we are doubted. Even through the heartache of loss, it lives.(1) The opening paragraph is mainly intended to.A. provide some key information about Zelda D' ApranoB. direct the readers' attention to the powerful symbolC. express great admiration for the great feministD. prove the popularity of the great feminist(2) Which of the following is the correct order of the major events in Zelda's life？a. She was fired from the AMIEU.b. She left school at 14 to join the workforce.c. She co—founded the Women's Action Committee.d. The Women's Action Committee organised the very first pro—choice rally.e. The Zelda D' Aprano Award for union activism was introduced.A. eabdcB. bcdaeC. bacdeD. ebcda(3) What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5imply?A. Zelda D'Aprano's efforts were far from enough.B. The authorities approved the The Equal Pay Act of 1972.C. People could hardly put up with the inequality and unfairness.D. People submitted to the worsening situation about women's rights.(4) Which of the following can best describe Zelda?A. Determined, tolerant and realistic.B. Determined, ambitious and optimistic.C. Conservative, stubborn and aggressive.D. Independent, narrow—minded and generous.(5) We can infer from the last paragraph that the author.A. appeals to people to follow in Zelda's footstepsB. encourages people to doubt the government's decisionC. calls for the feminists to value the hard—won peaceful lifeD. urges people to get over their heartache of losing Zelda(6) What is the best title for the passage?A. A Terrible Loss of Human JusticeB. An Unrealized Dream for Fair PayC. A Review of Australian Social PrejudiceD.

Although some of them have voluntarily made themselves known to the world, they are still entitled to live a life without others following them all the time.However, we have to distinguish between famous people. Basically, there are those who were seeking a public life — or at least knew to some extent what they were going into — and those who were not. Politicians, athletes, actors, musicians and entertainers belong to the former. The latter are ordinary citizens who become significant, because of their extraordinary experiences, for example, victims of crimes or tragedies, but also criminals.The number of ordinary citizens who receive their celebrity（名人）status unwillingly is quite big and the privacy of those people needs to be especially respected and maintained. Names, addresses or pictures that could lead to the identification of a person should never be made public. It is not of interest for the readers, and it usually does not make a difference for them, what the name of someone is, but for the one concerned publication of identity could mean embarrassment and harassment（骚扰）. Suspected criminals, for instance, could lose their jobs, their families could break up or their whole lives could get destroyed, even when they are innocent. Apart from that, as soon as someone is well known, they arepursued and harassed by journalists demanding interviews. Also in cases where a family just had to experience the loss of a dear person, the press usually shows little respect for that.In the case of politicians or other powerful people, the right to privacy comes into conflict with another right, the public's right to know. Therefore, the right to privacy of certain politicians sometimes has to be neglected to ensure a rightful running of the country. But do we need to get informed about everything there is?Actually, the position of politicians in the eye of the public is especially difficult to judge. On the one hand politicians use their happy family and home in campaigns; on the other hand, we know personal behaviors have nothing to do with competence in running a country and private details, even if completely irrelevant, can still ruin careers. Sometimes only due to the intrusion（侵入）of privacy, corruption or similar crimes can be made public, but at the same time not everything in one's life is connected to one's office.When personal morality and family values are deliberately used by politicians as a reason for them to be elected, they have chosen to make it a public issue rather than a private one. This is a sad fact, but it does not justify intrusion of the personal lives of all politicians. A politician still is, like everyone else, entitled to privacy.四、书面表达（共25分）22、【来源】 2018年江苏南通高三二模第71题25分请根据你对以下两幅图的理解，以"We Chinese Should Carry Forward Traditional Chinese Culture"为题，用英语写一篇作文。
