But according to a recent study, there is a different story.The study suggests the Chinese government’s long-running efforts to control the Yellow River with levees(防洪堤) and other flood-control systems actually made flooding much worse. This, researchers claim, set the stage for a catastrophic flood between 14-17 AD, which may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dy nasty. ―Human intervention(介入) in the Chinese environment is relatively massive, remarkably early and nowhere more keenly witnessed than in attempts to control the Yellow River,‖ said Dr Tristram Kidder from Washington University.Dr Kidder’s research is b ased on a study of sedimentary soils(沉积土) deposited along the Yellow River over thousands of years. It included data from the Sanyangzhuang site, known today as ―China’s Pompeii,‖ which was slowly buried beneath five metres of sediment during a massive flood in 14-17 AD. It also looked at the Anshang site, discovered in 2012, which includes the remains of a human-constructed levee dating back to the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BC.Researchers said patterns of sedimentary deposits date back about 10,000 years. Nearly a third of this 10,000-year cross-section has been deposited in the last 2,000 years, indicating that the rate of deposit has steadily increased at a pace that mirrors the expansion of human activity in the region. ―Our analysis clearly shows that these levees are not naturally formed, but are indeed artificially created through the work of humans,‖ said Dr Kidder.His research suggests the Chinese began building drainage(排水) canals and bank systems along the lower reaches of the Yellow River between 2,900 and 2,700 years ago. The sedimentary record shows a vicious cycle of primitive levees built larger and larger as erosion(侵蚀) increased, and periodic floods grew more widespread and destructive. ―It’s easy to see the trap they fell into,‖ Dr Kidder said. ―Building levees causes sediments to accumulate in the river bed, raising the river higher, and making it more vulnerable to flooding, which requires you to build the levee higher, which causes the sediments to accumulate, and the process repeats it self.‖While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Dr Kidder’s research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role.19. What is the different story mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Flooding of the Yellow River may have claimed millions of lives.B. Flooding of the Yellow River may have resulted from humans’ breaking the laws of nature.C. Flooding of the Yellow River may have been worsened due to human intervention.D. Flooding of the Yellow River may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty.20. Dr Kidder’s research findings are achieved thanks to the study of .A. the theories of building flood-control systemsB. great flooding happening in ancient ChinaC. the history of the Western Han DynastyD. sediments along the Yellow River21.The underlined part ―the trap‖ in the last but one paragraph refers to ―‖.A. the primitive levees being more vulnerable to floodingB. the ever-increasing river bed making the river more likely to floodC. the sediments accumulating in the river bed making the river bank looserD. the ever-increasing river bed making the levee-building work more difficultCLook into hunters’ eyesHA VE you ever been face to face with a cat or a sheep? If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical (垂直的) slits (狭缝), while sheep have horizontal pupils (瞳孔).Why is the difference?Scientists from the Universities of California Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils’ shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted.The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relati onship between an animal’s role in the food chain and the pupils’ shapes.They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators (捕猎者) –creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey (猎物) species.Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize (使最大化) their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt.However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, don’t have slit pupils.On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched (伸展) horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. ―Once they do detect (发现) a predator, they need to see where they are running,‖ said leading researcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry (视光学). ―They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eye to run quickly and jump over things.‖But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed (确认) that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate (旋转) to keep their pupils horizontal.So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!22. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils’ shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils’ shape influences an animal’s ability to detect a predator.23. According to the study, slit pupils ______.A. help to provide a wider field of visionB. are more likely to belong to big predatorsC. are more likely to belong to those to get huntedD. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance24. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.DMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, co ld, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, ―What do you want? Take my wallet,‖ but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming ―Help, help!‖ at eight o’clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to themore specific ―Help, let me in, please let me in!‖ But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, ―Please go and eat. We’re OK.‖I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. ―Typical,‖ said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help.The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, ―That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.‖ Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. ―That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,‖ he said. ―If you had gone into the house with them…‖ His voice became weaker. ―They would have hurt her‖ --- he twisted his head toward me --- ―and killed you both.‖ Jeremy looked happier. ―Look,‖ said the fat policeman kindly, ―there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.‖ All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. S ecurity is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.25. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ________.A. she felt very annoyedB. she lost consciousnessC. s he lost the power of thinkingD. she felt very much nervous26. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?A. Jeremy’s fightingB. The police’s arrivalC. Their neighbor’s brave actionD. The auth or’s screaming27. When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because ________.A. t hey needed time to find baseball batsB. they were busy preparing dinnersC. they were much too frightenedD. they thought someone was playing a trick28.

The police were rather angry because ________.A. they thought it was a case of little importanceB. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarmC. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anythingD. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene30.

Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. S hirley Brady noted: ―As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).‖ Another wrote, ―Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.‖ One wondered, ―Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?‖Good question. This is a case that Stu art Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.The ca se led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥亵者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police.16. What does the underlined phrase ―weigh in on the case‖ mean?A. ignore the caseB. feel stressed on the caseC. reopen the caseD. begin to discuss the case17. Which of the following statements is true in the text?A. The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25,1979.B. The search for human remains will be carried out at 127. B. Prince Street.C. The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’babysitter.D. Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him﹩1 before the disappearance.18. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. People air the same view about the case on the InternetB. People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boyC. The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on peopleD. Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person casesBSeptember can be a depressing month. The summer holidays are over, it’s time to go back to work or school and Christmas is four months away. However, for some people it’s the perfect time to get away.These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons. Holidays in autumn can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isn’t as extreme as it is in the summer. So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.Sardinia (in Italy) has an average temperature of 27℃in September. It also has ―Autunno in Barbagia‖ (Autumn in Barbagia) a series of festiva ls that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous region of inland Sardinia. The festivals continue from September to December, so there’s always something happening. There are street markets, craft workshops and there’s lots of eating and drinking (This is Italy, after all).Dubrovnik Croatia has become very popular in summer but it’s quiet er and more pleasant once the crowds have left. The weather is still warm but less humid. You can take a ferry to the popular beaches on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.Dahab Egypt, is very hot in the summer with temperatures up to 38℃. However, the autumn is cooler while the sea is still warm. This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing. There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations, and St Catherine’s Monastery, at the foot of Mount Sinai.Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey. There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped (so you can actually enjoy doing them!) Kas is a good place to stay if you want to walk part of the Lycian way: a long-distance footpath that stretches for 500km from Fethiye to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia. There are also watersports, of course. The best time to go diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn (usually between late September and early October) when the fish become most active.Marrakech Morocco is another good destination. The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few days. When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away. There’s a hammam (a Turkish bath) and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.Wherever you go this autumn – have fun!19. Here are the good reasons for people to take holidays in autumn except that _______.A. Holidays in autumn can be cheaperB. the scenery in autumn is more attractiveC. the resorts in autumn are less crowdedD. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold20. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _______________.A. visitors can take part in a series of festivals in October in BarbagiaB. Barbagia in Egypt is surrounded by mountainsC. the festivals continue from September to NovemberD. the temperature in Sardinia in September is always below 27℃21. Which of the following places may not be close to sea?A. DubrovnikB. DahabC. KasD. MarrakechCAs anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. That’s partly because most people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and put more effort, to achieve those goals.What’s far less understood by scientists, however,are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting. Newspapers convey daily accounts of goal-setting widespread in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-advocated practice of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and immoral behavior in general.―Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to put more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in immoral behaviors,‖ says Maurice Schweitzer, an associate professor at Penn’s Wharton School.His paper, titled ―Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prais ed Goal Setting,‖ appears in the February issue of the Academy of Management Perspectives.―It turns out there’s no financial benefit to just having a goal---you just get a psychological benefit‖ Schweitzer says. ―But in many cases, goals have financial re wards that make them more powerful.‖A major example Schweitzer and his colleagues give is the 2004 breakdown of energy-trading giant Enron( 德国安然公司), where managers used financial rewards to motivate salesmen to meet specific goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is that the actual trades were not profitable.Other studies have shown that burdening employees with unrealistic goals can force them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears（西尔斯公司）placed a sales quota (销售限额) on its auto repair staff. It inspired employees to overcharge for work and to complete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.Schweitzer admits his research runs counter to a very large body of literature that praises the many benefits of goal-setting. Advocates of the practice have argued with his team’s use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-praised.In a rebuttal (反驳) paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: ―Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot grow without being focused on their desired end results any more than anindividual can grow without goals to provide a sense of purpose.‖But Schweitzer argues the ―evidence‖ linking goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help draw attention to issues that deserve attention and further investigation. ―Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh many positive effects,‖ he says.The debate is likely to get heated on in future papers, and the practice of setting goals no doubt will continue. For now, though, the lesson seems to be put more thought into setting goals.―Goal-setting does help motivate people. My idea would be to combine that with careful management, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harmful to the organization,‖ Schweitzer says.22. What does Maurice Schweitzer want to show by mentioning the example of Enron?A. Setting realistic goals can turn a failing business into success.B. Businesses are likely to succeed without realistic goals.C. Companies are certain to meet specific goals with financial rewards.D. Goals with financial rewards have strong motivational power.23. The underlined words ―runs counter to‖ (Paragraph 7) can be replaced by ________.A. agrees withB. goes againstC. fits in withD. applies to24. According to the passage, the author tries to convey ___________.A. the goals that most people set are unrealisticB. all people can improve their work quality by setting goalsC. setting goals can provide people with a sense of purposeD. people should not ignore the negative effects of goal-settingDI lost everything. That is, I’d either lose or destroy it. Jewelry. Dolls. Games. Whatever made its way into my hands I chewed on or destroyed beyond recognition. I ate paper, and once consumed an entire book. Poor Curious George didn’t stay curious for long around me. He was eaten. Mom and Dad called me ―instant disaster‖. And because I was so messy, they always sat me at the dinner table next to the guests they weren’t planning to invite back.One day in the second grade, I walked home from school, and my surprised mother looked at me as I walked through the front door. ―Carol,‖ she asked calmly but with a confused look on her face, ―Where’s your coat?‖ I looked down and saw my broken leather shoes, worn-out pants, and white (but dirty) cotton shirt. Until my mother pointed out that I wasn’t fully dressed, I hadn’t noticed. I was just as surprised as she was, for we both remembered that I had been wearing the coat that morning. My mother and I walked across the street to the school, looked on the sidewalks and all over the playground and in the halls, but in va in.The following winter my mother and father bought me a fur brown coat with a matching hat.I loved my new coat and hat and felt like a big girl. I promised that I would be careful and not lose the hat.One day my father came home from work and called me downstairs from my room. He bent down to my size and hugged me, and he asked me if I would try on my new coat and hat and model them for him. Upstairs I rushed, two steps at a time, excited to put on a fashion show for my father. I threw on the coat, but I couldn’t find the hat. I nervously looked under my bed and in the closet, but it was nowhere. Maybe he wouldn’t notice that I wasn’t wearing it.I flew downstairs and twirled(旋转) around as if on a runway, posing and smiling, modeling my new coat for my father who was paying attention to me and telling me how pretty I looked. Then he said he wanted me to model the hat, too. ―No, Daddy, I just want to show you the coat. Just look at the c oat on me!‖I said, still dancing around the hallway and trying to avoid the subject of the missing hat. I knew that the hat was history. He was giggling, and I thought I was admirable and loved because he was laughing and playing with me. We went around a couple times about the hat, and in the middle of his laugh, he slapped me. He slapped me hard on the face, and I didn’t understand why. At the sharp sound of his hand on my face, my mother shouted, ―Mike! What are you doing! What are you doing!‖ She was breathless and stunned. His anger hurt both my mother and me. I just stood there holding my hand to my burning cheek, crying. And then he took my new hat out of his coat pocket. He had found it lying in the street, and as he looked at me over the top of his glasses, he said, ―Maybe now you will learn not to be careless and lose things.‖I am a grown woman now, and I still lose things. I am still careless. But what my father taught me that day was not a lesson of responsibility. I learned not to trust his laughter. Because even his laughter hurt.25. Why did the writer’s parents call her ―instant disaster‖?A. Because she was naughty and looked very ugly.B. Because she often destroyed things on purpose.C. Because her behavior was extremely abnormal.D. Because she was destructive and made a mess.26.

高三英语-如东中学2016届高三上学期英语自主练习51

江苏省如东中学2015-2016学年度高三英语自主练习51一．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places — where children weren’t hung ry and were in 6 of little.When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 7 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 8 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 9 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 10 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 11 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money —to put more food on the family table. We 12 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 13 my real hunger wasn’t for food — it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.

It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you make use of the power of the subconscious (下意识) to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams. Considering the amount of free time you usually have in college, one hour a day is not much in view of the long-term benefits.Select Easy CoursesIn your first term of college, load up on as many “easy A’s” as possible. There are several reasons for this. The first term of college is full of excitement as it is, and there are probably even more today than ever thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and more. The last thing you want to do is add difficult coursework to this. The other reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college careerwith an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework becomes more challenging.Join (or Form) Study GroupsIf you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.Use Personal DevelopmentI can honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. Without doubt this had a negative impact on my GPA. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very different.If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career. Good luck to all of you starting the college journey.高三自主练习51完形填空ACBBD DACDC BBADC ACDBA单选21~25 BBDAA 26~30 AABCA 31~35 BAACC CDADB任务型41.without 42.reviewing/memorizing/learning/studying/revising

According to the passage, tourists should know that________.A. round-trip shuttles are free of chargeB. infants are not at all allowed on boardC. it’s up to customers whether to pay tipD. wheelchairs are available if necessaryBnew survey from has found that 49% of working mothers feel their employer actively discriminates against them. It also found that nearly two thirds of women return from maternity leave to a new job.he survey, which questioned 2,300 mothers about their careers after children, found that 62% of them had moved to a new role within their existing company or in another organization. The survey also revealed that flexible working was seen as the most important factor in career progression for working mothers, with more than 20% leaving a company when a flexible working request was turned down.f those who had had their flexible working requests declined, only 13% had appealed the decision. More than half of them felt that the reasons given by their employer were unjustified. The reported showed that of all the types of flexible working, the most valued and requested was that of working from home. This backs up findings from that when women changed jobs after having children location played a big factor. Moving employers to avoid a longcommute or be closer to home, thereby making childcare arrangements easers to manage, played a big part in women deciding whether to return full-time to their original employer.illian Nissim, founder of , says that the results show how important it is for businesses to think creatively about flexible working requests, rather than dismissing them.“Some have argued that it is too expensive for businesses to move to more flexible working patterns,” she says. “But the survey demonstrates the costs o f not doing so in terms of the loss of skilled staff.”Despite the government extending the right to flexible working to all employees in 2014, less than half the mothers surveyed had partners who worked part-time or flexibly. In what can be seen as an attempt to find more flexible working options, 64% of those who responded to the survey were thinking about setting up their own businesses and 65% were looking at retraining.58. Which of the following is NOT the reason why women want to work flexibly?. Having enough time to tend children.. Working less for the sake of children.. Being able to work closer to homes.. Spending less time to and from work.59. Gillian Nissim’s suggests to the employers that they ________.. agree to the requests the working mothers make. think about the cost of hiring some skilled staff. dismiss whoever requests flexible working patterns. take the flexible working requests into account60. What can be inferred from this passage?. More than half of the women move to a new job after having children.. The government has ensured working mothers the right to work flexibly.. Working mothers consider flexible working vital in career progression.. Most mothers would rather start their own businesses than get retrained.CIt's not just homework that has some young people dreading going back to school. As students file into their classes this month, there's a whole new world of worry for young people: yoga pants. And shorts. And off-the-shoulders tops, midriff-bearing shirts, and skirts that don't pass the " fingertip test".The list of banned clothing items in high schools seems to get longer every year- and the more restrictive dress codes get, the angrier students grow. This year, hundreds of young women at high school across the United States are protesting the dress codes nearly as quickly as they are announced.More than 200 students at Regional Technical high school in Cape Cod, which has banned yoga pants and leggings, have signed up for a Facebook event encouraging people as they are announced.At Chicago's McHenry East and West high school, students have planned a :Show Your Shoulders" protest in response to a dress code that won't allow students to bare their shoulders.In Ohio students gathered in opposition to Lakewood high school's dress code after one girl was disciplined for not wearing a bra.Restrictive dress code policies are being criticized online as well as on school grounds. In Woodford Country, Kentucky, parents Stacie Dunn was shocked to find out that her daughter Stephanie Hughes was called to the principal's office on the first day of school because she revealed…her collarbones. Dunn took to Facebook to complain, writing:" Parents are being called away from their important jobs and students are missing class time." Her post was shared more than 45,000 times.But it's not just the dress over 200 Staten Island students--almost all female--were given detention over dress codes, Florida students were forced to wear "shame suits" when violating the dress code, and earlier this year, schools nationwide came under fire for turning away young women from parties whose outfits were considered "inappropriate".The scourge of unfair dress codes is so great that MTV has published a primer for students on how to tell if their school's dress code is exist. One of the clues? If administrators say women bodies are " distracting" to learning.The idea of dress codes to prevent distraction are fairly everywhere: the yoga pants ban in Cape Cod was chalked up to not wanting to distract male students, and the same reason was used in Staten Island and most other schools with dress codes that disproportionately target female students. (How " distracted" female students et from their learning experience by being shamed and pulled out of class doesn't seem to be a concern)."I understood the rule exists," she said," but I believe it's sexist and unnecessary. I told them that if any middle-aged male teacher couldn't concentrate on teaching because of my clothing, he's the problem-- not me."As students fight back in high schools around the country, even younger women-- and their parents--may have a battle in front of them as well. Dress codes are starting to affect students as early as first and second grade.61. Students are scared of returning to school because_____.A. they are burdened with heavy workB. they find it hard to pass the tough testC. many schools have issued stricter dress codesD. stricter dress codes affect their attention in class62. According to the article, which of the following is true?A. Students in McHenry East high school have rights to bare shouldersB. Students on Facebook are encouraged to wear the banned pants on the first dayC. Not the dress but the severe punishment for violators causes controversyD. Criticism for students going to extremes on students ' dress codes is nationwide63. According to the school , ______A. dress code policies aim to prevent female students from being sexyB. the way some female students get dressed distracts males' attentionC. it matters little to female students if they get suspended from schoolD. girl students can wear whatever they like in spite of the dress codes64. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8?A. Schools were criticized for their improper punishment.B. Schools made the headlines for their strict violation.C. Schools were underestimated for dress codes violation.D. Schools were praised for turning away young women.DA new research study combining marine physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral psychology has revealed a surprising outcome from increases of carbon dioxide uptake in the oceans: anxious fish.A growing base of scientific evidence has shown that the absorption of human-produced carbon dioxide into the world's oceans is causing surface waters to decline in pH, causing a rise in acidity (酸度). This ocean acidification is known to disrupt the growth of shells and skeletons (骨骼)of certain marine animals but other consequences such as behavioral impacts have been lately unknown until recently.In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and MacEwan University in Edmonton, Canada, have shown for the first time that rising acidity levels increase anxiety in young rockfish (岩鱼），an important commercial species in California. Using a camera-based tracking software system, the researchers compared a control group of rockfish kept in normal seawater to another group in waters with raised acidity levels matching those projected for the end of the century. They measured each or0uP s preference to swim in light or dark areas of a testing tank, which is a known test for anxiety in fish. The researchers found out that normal juvenile rockfish continuously moved between the light and dark areas of the tank. However, experiments have shown that fish administered with an anxiety-inducing drug prefer the darker area and seldom risked swimming into the light. Hence (Thus), _________________________.Next, the researchers found that rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions for one week also preferred the dark area of the tank, indicating they were significantly more anxious than their normal seawater counterparts. Rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions remained anxious even one week after being placed in seawater with normal carbon dioxide levels. Only after the fourteenth day in normal seawater did the anxious fish behave like the control group and returned to normal behavior.The researchers say the anxiety is traced to th e fish’s sensory(感官的）systems, and specifically “GABAA” (neural gamma-aminobutyric acid type A) receptors, which are also involved in human anxiety levels. Exposure to acidified water leads to changes in the concentrations of ions (离子）in the blood (especially chloride and bicarbonate), which reverses the flux of ions through the GABAA receptors. The end result is a change in neuronal (神经元）activity that is reflected in the altered behavioral responses described in this study.“These results are novel and thought-provoking,,5 said Martin Tresguerres, a Scripps marine biologist and study co-author, “because they reveal a potential negative effect of ocean acidification on fish behavior that can possibly affect normal population dynamics and maybe even affect fisheries.”Tresguerres says anxious behavior is a concern for young rockfish because they live in highly dynamic environments such as kelp (巨藻）forests and drifting kelp paddies that offer variable lighting and shading conditions.“If the behavior that we observed in the lab applies to the wild during ocean acidification conditions, it could mean that young rockfish may spend more time in the shaded areas instead of exploring around,” said Tresguerres. “This would have negative effects due to reduced time to search for food, or among others.”Tresguerres noted that laboratory tests cannot fully model the steady progression of acidity lev els that will be seen in the wild over years and decades. “Nonetheless, our results suggest that ocean acidification may affect an important aspect of fish behavior.”65. According to the 3rd paragraph, the researchers drew the conclusion by ________.A. analyzing dataB. giving examplesC. measuring acidityD. making comparisons66. Which of the following would best fill the blank at the end of paragraph 3.A. normal seawater rather than acidified water benefits rockfish.B. dark preference represents increased anxiety in young rockfish.C. young rockfish in the experiment are easy to control.D. young rockfish choose to swim in light or dark areas.67. In the experiment, rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions ________.A. chose the dark area rather than the light area of the tank all the timeB. were free of anxiety one week after being put in normal seawaterC. returned to normal after a fortnight in normal carbon dioxide level seawaterD. behaved just like the control group once they were put into normal seawater68. What is the function of the fifth paragraph?A. To explain how acidified water causes anxiety in fish.B. To discuss whether the researchers, results are believable.C. To give an introduction to the process of the experiment.D. To raise doubts about the researchers, conclusion.69. What are “dynamic environments” of young rockfish like according to paragraph 6?A. Drifting kelp paddies are everywhere.B. Varieties of fish exist in complexity.C. Lighting and shading shift frequently.D. There are a wide calm sea of kelp forests.70. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Certain Methods Of Protecting The Ocean Environment.B. Certain Methods To Slow Down Ocean Acidification.C. Young Rockfish Found Suffering From Anxiety In California.D.

In a traveler’s booklet.BIn this section, we are concerned with reconstructive memory. Suppose you are trying to remember some event. Reconstructive memory would involve combining the pieces of information about the event you can remember with your relevant knowledge and experience to reconstruct what probably happened. The concept of reconstructive memory is related to schema theory. A schema is an organized package of information containing your knowledge about the world; it helps us to make sense of it all. Schemas are stored in long-term memory. Your schemas tell you that if you were wearing a T-shirt it was likely to be summer. Bower, Black, and Turner showed that most people share similar schemas. Most people listed the following as the most important events associated with having a restaurant meal: sitting down, looking at the menu, ordering, eating, paying the bill, and leaving the restaurant.In the early 1930s, it was generally assumed that memory simply involves remembering the information presented to us. However Bartlett argued that memory was often more complex than that, in that previous knowledge in the form of schemas has influence on our memory. He thought what was of key importance was to ask participants to memorize a text selected to produce conflict between its contents and their knowledge of the world. As a result, the participants would connect their own schemas to the contents. This would result in misrepresentation of the material. For example, if people read a story taken from a different culture, then this would contain words and concepts that were foreign It would be likely that the participants' previous knowledge would influence the way this information was remembered, making it more acceptable from the standpoint of their own cultural background.Bartlett's work suggested that the process of remembering things is an active reconstruction of the bits that are stored. What is involved here has been compared to using a few dinosaur bones to reconstruct what the dinosaur probably looked like. When you learn something, it is actually only elements of the experience that are stored.So reconstructions are made by combining the real elements of a memory with your knowledge of the world. Our prejudices will influence what we think we have seen, and how we later recall the information.23. How does the author explain the schema theory in Paragraph l?A. By explaining principles in daily life.B. By comparing different events.C. By reporting experiment results.D. By giving common examples.24. What is schema?A. An organized package of information that makes sense to people.B. Relevant information showing your understanding of the world.C. Pieces of information about the event you can remember.D. The most important events associated with each other.25. Bartlett believed that ___________ .A. earlier experience would affect what people recalledB. memory was more complex than what schema theory supportedC. conflict existed in people's knowledge of the worldD. people tended to make information acceptable26. What is the passage mainly about?A. What helps regain memory.B. How memory is reconstructed.C. What the real elements of memory are.D. How schema theory influences memory.CAmerica’s businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.It’s risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.This is partly an unintended issue of resources—established companies can cope with new costs more easily—but it’s also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obamacare, but less politically powerful firms—like medical device manufacturers—got squeezed.Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse—airlines, car companies and banks—stagger（蹒跚）on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defendthe rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy（寡头政治）that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.Income inequality—which is directly caused by faulty government policy—is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But let’s be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and that’s as it should be, but the force of gover nment should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.27. We can learn from the passage that ______________.A. over several decades, new companies have grown steadilyB. The cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businessesC. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulationsD. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes28. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ____________.A. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American idealsB. the state economy may depends on those innovative businessesC. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolveD. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market29. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________A. Larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspectsB. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporationsC. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operationD. big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama30. As to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is _______________A. contentedB. confidentC. concernedD. convincedDRosemary sat at her kitchen table, working a crossword puzzle. Crosswords were nice; they filled the time, and kept the mind active. She needed just one word to complete this morning’s puzzle; the clue was “a Swiss river,” and the first of its three letters was “A”. Unfortunately, Rosemary had no idea what the name of river was, and could not look it up. Her atlas was on her desk, and the desk was in the guest room, currently being occupied by her grandson Victor.Looking up over the tops of her glasses, Rosemary glanced at the kitchen clock: it was almost 10 a.m. Land sakes! Did the boy intend to sleep all day? She noticed the pain in her wrist again, and put down her pen. Anyhow, at 87 years of age, she was glad she could still write at all. She had decided long ago that growing old was like slowl y turning to stone; you couldn’t take anything for granted. She stood up slowly, painfully, and started walking to the guest room.The trip, though only a distance of about 25 feet, seemed to take a long while. Rosemary arrived at the door to the guest room. It stood slightly open, and she looked through the opening. Victor lay sleeping on his side, his arms bent, his expression slightly pained. Get up, lazy bones, she wanted to say. Even in childhood, Rosemary had never slept past 4 a.m.; there were too many chores to do. How different things were for Victor’s generation! Her youngest grandson behaved as if he had never done a chore in his life. Twenty-one years old, he had driven down to Florida to visit Rosemary in his shiny new car, a gift from his dear parents. Victor would finish college soon, and his future appeared bright — if he ever got out of bed, that is.Something Victor had said last night over dinner had disturbed her. Now what was it? Oh yes; he had been talking about one of his college courses —a “gut”, he had called it. When she had asked him to explain the word, Victor had said it was a course that you took simply because it was easy to pass. Rosemary, who had not even had a high school education, found the word unpleasant. If she had been allowed to continue her studies, she would never have taken a “gut” ...The memory flooded back then, still painful as an open wound all these years later. It was the first day of high school. She had graduated from grammar school the previous year, but her father had forbidden her to go to high school that autumn, saying she was needed on the farm. After much tearful begging, she had gotten him to promise that next year, she could start high school. She had endured a whole year of chores instead of books, with animals and rough farmhands for company instead of people of her own age. Now, at last, the glorious day was at hand. She had put on her best dress (she owned two), her heart racing hopefully.But her father was waiting for her as she came downstairs.“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.“To high school, Papa.”“No you’re not. Take that thing off and get back to work. ”“But Papa, you promised!”“Do as I say!” he thundered.There was no arguing with Papa when he spoke that way. Tearfully, she had to drag herself upstairs to change clothes. Rosemary still wondered what her life would have been like if her father had not been waiting at the bottom of the stairs that day, or if somehow she had found the strength to disobey him..Suddenly, Victor moved slightly, without waking, and whispered something unintelligible. Waken from her daydreaming, Rosemary stared at Victor. She wondered if he were having a nightmare.31. From the second paragraph we know that Rosemary felt it __________ to be getting older.A. acceptableB. terribleC. unbearableD. enjoyable32. By saying “if he ever got out of bed” (Para. 3) Rosemary thought Victor was __________.A. too tired to get upB. promising but lazyC. impolite to oversleepD. old enough to help with chores33.Why did Rosemary dislike Victor’s use of the word “gut”？A. Because it showed that Victor didn’t take education seriously.B. Because it reminded Rosemary of her grammar school classes.C. Because it indicated that college courses were too easy to pass.D. Because it implied that Rosemary was lacking in high school education.34. The year after Rosemary graduated from grammar school was ___________.A. used for reading and writing.B. ruined by illness and hardship.C. filled with travel and adventure.D. spent entirely away from her fellows.35. The passage as a whole is mainly about___________.A. Rosemary’s concern for Victor’s study.B. Rosemary’s struggle to keep painful memories.C. whether Rosemary will go up to wake Victor up.D. whether Rosemary should fight for her schooling opportunity.三、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分）Born to WinEach human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials---his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right---a winner.The words "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds honestly by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. A loser is one who fails to respond honestly.A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.A winner is flexible. He does not have to respond in known, rigid ways. He can change his plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a love for life. He enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from the general problems of society. He tries to improve the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international difficulty, he does not see himself as helpless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.Although people are born to win, they are also born totally dependent on their environment. Winners successfully make the change from dependence to independence, losers do not. Somewhere along the line losers begin to avoid becoming independent. This usually begins in childhood. Poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, and inadequate physical care are among the many experiences that contribute to making people losers.A loser is held back by his low capacity to appropriately express himself through a full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He repeats not only his own mistakes and often repeatsthose of his family and culture.A loser has difficulty giving and receiving love. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationships with others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living up to his expectations and channels his energies into living up to their expectations.Born to winEach human being is born to be a winner. Each person has his own 1. _________ qualities to be a winner.
