A（河南省洛阳市20XX届高三第二次统一考试）One winter, my cousin and I were playing toy blocks in the yard. My mom was out forshopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room. Suddenly, it started tosnow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily.Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when Iopened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs. I let go of thedoor, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically but I had put a rock, right nextto the door so it wouldn’t close. But while I was running to my cousin’s aid I’d accidentallykicked the rock.Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfortunately it started to get reallywindy.It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad, but he was sleepingsoundly. I mean sleep-through-a-tornado-soundly. It was of no use.Then I t ried to climb over the fence but it didn’t work because the fence was iced by snowand wind, and the fence is six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormedsome ideas on ways to get out. At one point, I was seriously considering jumping out of the tree house and use the trampoline（蹦床）to jump over the fence.So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline. Then I started to jump. First try—I almostcracked my head. Second try —this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second, hethickened out. Third try—I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence,and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luckily, I fell on a big snow drift.Finally, my mom came back.

From New Zealand to New York, the world eagerly celebratedthe New Year, hoping for a better future after a year of diseases, struggles and disasters.The islands of Samoa mid Tokelau in the Pacific Ocean and places located near theInternational Date Line mark the dawn of the New Year. As celebrations spread westward, fireworkslit up the night sky in towns and cities around the world, as celebrators partied on the streets.In some parts of the world, the New Year’s celebrations were, lets say, rather unusual. Inmany European countries as well as in Coney Island, New York, swimmers braved freezingwater temperatures for a dip in the ocean or lake on January 1. In Rome, Italy, divers jumpedoff the 59-foot-high Cavour bridge into the TiberRiver. Londoners rang in the New Year with amassive fireworks display with dozens of rockets lighting up the night sky. The Scots’celebration of New Year is also called “Hogmanay”. A torchlight procession led by mendressed as Vikings kicks off four days of Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh, Scotland. Theprocession ends with the burning of a Viking long ship. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for thelast day of the year. Street festivals are held on each day culminating in a fireworks display.In New York, hundreds of thousands gathered to witness a huge ball with more than 30,000 lights descend at midnight. This tradition was adopted by the New York Times（after whom the square is named）in 1908 to attract crowds to celebrate the paper’s new headquarters. The ball has dropped every year since then except during the wartime years of 1942 and 1943. The first ball was made of iron, but now 2,688 crystal（水晶）triangles decorate this lighted ball.25.

The students from Tokyo，who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit．Mr．Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.”The car was covered by insurance,but the tourists will have to pay up to about$1 500 in extra charges．32．The three Japanese tourists got stuck because________．A．there was no way to the islandB．their GPS had given the wrong informationC．their GPS was broken during their journeyD．their car was not made in Japan33．They didn’t abandon their car until___________．A．some onlookers went to save them B．they got stuck in the mudC．there came the tide D．they managed to travel around 500 metres34．How did these Japanese students get back?A．They had to walk back to their living place．B．They had to repair their GPS and drove back．C．They had to turn to passengers on boats and ferries．D．They had to take a lift from the tow truck driver．35．From the passage we can know that__________．A．The car was left where it was trappedB．The passengers saved these students in the endC．Mr．Tomonari got very down after the journeyD．No money has to be paid thanks to insurance第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.This has several implications（含义）.The most common one,however,and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever,is the“meeting”influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago,a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now,however,a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer“see you there at8”,but“text me around8and we’ll see where we all are.”Texting changes people as well.In their paper,“Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS(Short Message Service)Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the“talkers”and the“texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is the“speakeasy”:the head is held high,in a self-confident way,chatting away.And there is the“spacemaker”:these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude （侵入）on people’s privacy.So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn’t worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.1.The“meeting”influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that________.A.people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyB.people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetC.people are able to meet someone at any place and any timeD.people have to attend phone meetings than ever before22.According to the two British researchers,the Social and Psychological Effects are most likelyto be seen on________.A.talkersB.the“speakeasy”C.the“spacemaker”D.texters23.We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are_________.A.showing or making knownB.well writtenC.unacceptable by othersD.shocking to others24.According to the passage,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A.talkersB.the“speakeasy”C.the“spacemaker”D.textersBTop Four Ways to Build a Wonderful Life1.Live Below Your MeansThere will always be temptation to give up the future for immediate pleasure.We all want to buy that new piece of technology,treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town,or take out a loan for the flashy car we can’t afford.It might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on.Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can.Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security.Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.2.Put Your Money to WorkSaving is great,but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work.Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your40’s or in your60’s.A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking.According to Trent’s estimates,if a person in their early20’s invests 20%of their income in an S&P index fund,the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early40’s.They could retire without a drop in income!Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and it’s something everyone can work on.It’s definitely an area I’ll be devoting more attention to in my personal life.cate YourselfTo be happy we need continuous growth.The best way to grow is life-long education.This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend2hours reading every day.Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone.The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and cation builds over time.It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire don’t mean much,but over the years they add up to form a wiser,kinder, more interesting person.4.Develop Lasting Personal RelationshipsSuppose you had everything you wanted.Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives.Don’t forget about them.Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness.Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable,no matter how successful you become.25.According to the passage,in order to achieve financial independence after retirement,we’dbetter________.A.get along well with our family and friendsB.bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoymentC.invest our money wisely when we are youngD.learn some new skills and try to find a new job26.From the passage we can infer that some people try to________.A.gain happiness by buying themselves expensive thingsB.save everything they can to help those in needC.devote more attention to their personal lifeD.take out a loan to promote technology27.The author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is________.A.gaining as many degrees as possibleB.being open to new ideas and viewsC.only focusing on very big eventsD.creating long-term happiness28.The above passage is written in order to________.A.explain what true happiness is aboutB.offer ways to achieve a happy and successful lifeC.introduce different definitions about D.persuade readers to find out the meaning of lifeCIn the countries of South and Southeast Asia,the elephant has been an important part of the culture,economy and religion for centuries．And nowhere more so than in Thailand．Unlike its African cousin,the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）．The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background．To the early Western visitors,the country's romantic name was“Land of the White Elephant"．Today,however,the story is very different．Out of work and out of land,the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it．The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part．And while the elephant's problems began many years ago,now it has a very low national advantage．How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals?It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves．According to Richard Lair,Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray,at the turn of the last century,there may well have been as many as100,000national elephants in the country．In the north of Thailand alone,it was estimated（估计）that more than20,000elephants were employed in transport,1,000of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen．This was at a time when90percent of Thailand was still forest---a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people．Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants．By1950the elephant population had dropped,but still to the number of13,397．However, today there are probably no more than3,800,with another l,350wandering free in the national parks．But now,Thailand's forest covers only20percent of the land．This deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation,for it has effectively put the animals out of work．This century,as the road network grew,the elephant's role as a beast of burden decreased．29．What can we know about African elephants from the passage?A．It is of little value to domesticate them．B．It is hard to domesticate them．C．They are living a better life than Asian elephants．D．Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants．30．Thailand was once called"Land of the White Elephant"because________．A．white elephant was a national symbol until the1920sB．white elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialC．white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityD．this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors31．Why is the Thai elephant"out of work",according to the author?A．Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs．B．Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer．C．Because the government pays little attention to the problem．D．Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners．32．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?A．There were100,000domesticated elephants at the turn of the last century．B．20,000elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century．C．By1950the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small．D．Today the elephant population is estimated at5,150．DWhen I heard the piano,I walked to Mrs.Windsor’s house and waited outside as I always did. That meant she was working with another student,and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell.I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing.“Almost anything”,I sighed dejectedly.I had been tutored enough to read,understand,and even write some musical compositions,but I just didn’t have a gift for it.It didn’t come to me naturally.I thought back to happier times when I was writing stories and acting them out with my friends,cutting up old clothes to make dresses that performers wear in plays,and building scenery out of old things we found.But Mrs.Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free,so I felt my duty to try.The door opened and Wendy Barton came out.I walked in,sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.“Hello,”I heard a voice behind me say softly.I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me,eating an apple.But before I could make any response,Mrs.Windsor walked into the room in her usual urgent manner and announced,“Jennifer,this is my niece,Pasha.Pasha,this is Jennifer.Pasha will be giving you your lesson today.I’m up to my ears in something else!”she then exited to the kitchen.Pasha set her apple down on the side table and slid beside me on the piano bench.“What piece do you like best?”she asked.“What do you mean?”I asked.“They’re all the same to me.I don’t know.“You mean you don’t have a favorite?”“No,not really.”Pasha looked at me,rather puzzled,then opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.I arranged my fingers on the keys and studied the notes on the page for a moment.Then I frowned and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.I have to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.After about a page or two,Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause.“What are you hearing in the music?”I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.“Like a story.What story is being playing out within the music?”“I guess I’ve never thought about it before.I don’t know.”“Here,let me try and you listen,”Pasha advised.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath,letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then,she began to play.“See,it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you?”Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys.“Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.”A carefree,happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers.“Oh,but she slips!”The music changed.“And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream.Quickly,the princess’s horse sees her plight(困境),”Pasha continued, and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him.They make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse and swears she will never again wear princess skirts that weigh her down.She will only wear jeans and T-shirt from now on.”Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.“Aren’t you the girl who tells the stories?”she asked.“I guess.I do tell a lot of stories.”“Oh,yes!All the kids talk about them.I’ve heard about you.Well,all you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music.That’s all there is to it.”“I’ve never thought it that way.”“Let’s try another one,shall we?”Pasha smiled and together we played that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.33.The underlined word“dejectedly”in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to_______.A.nervouslyB.desperatelyC.impatientlyD.unhappily34.Jennifer got lost in thought when she________.A.played the piano with Pasha for the first timeB.listened to Pasha tell her story about the princessC.remembered happier times of writing stories and acting them outD.discovered that Mrs.Windsor’s niece would be giving the piano lesson35.By describing herself as a mechanical pianist,the author showed______.A.she could remember the notes in a short timeB.she was playing the piano without thinkingC.Pasha was showing off her skillsD.it had been a long time since she played last time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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
2015年高考押题英语卷2附答案
2015年高考押题英语卷2第一部分阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
AExercise seems to be good for the human brain, with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect —that is, if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise, do our brains respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits, recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect. So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations, on what people anticipate that exerci se will do for thinking. If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits, then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.For the new study, which was published last month in PLOS One, the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system, they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking. The other volunteers were asked the same questions, but about a regular walking program.In actual experiments, stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills. Walking, on the other hand, seems to substantially improve thinking ability.But the survey respondents believed the opposite, estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking. The estimates of benefits from walking were lower.These data, while they do not involve any actual exercise, are good news for people who do exercise. “The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart, a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University, who led the study.If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise, Mr. Stothart said, then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching. They didn’t, implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may, in the process, improve thinking, Mr. Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how, at a molecular level, exercise remodels the human brain, he said. It also should encourage the rest of us to move, since the benefits are, it seems, not imaginary, even if they are in our head.1. Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research?A. To discover the placebo effect in the exercise.B. To prove the previous studies have a big drawback.C. To test whether exercise can really improve cognition.D. To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research.2. What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out?A. They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise.B. The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists.C. The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability.D. Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect.3. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Is it necessary for us to take exercise?B. How should people exercise properly?C. What makes us smarter during exercise?D. Does exercise really make us smarter?BThe current Ebola (埃博拉病毒) outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus —about 60 percent of people infected with it have died.How is Ebola doing its harm?When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body’s immune (免疫的) cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person’s immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease.The patients that survive it best are those who don’t get such a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn’t able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate (调节) itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death.What are the common symptoms of the disease?Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. V omiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body.How to prevent the spread of Ebola?Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient.We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates(灵长类). If you’re in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side.Wear protective medical clothing if you’re around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hospital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if y ou’re around infected patients.How Do People Survive Ebola?Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection.Our suggestions include:Maintain your electrolytes (电解质) and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms o f infection. Be honest about when and where you’re feeling pain.4. Ebola causes the death of a human being by ________.A. attacking him with high feverB. regulating his immune systemC. damaging his immune cellsD. harming all his organs directly5. What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?A. Fever and chills.B. Swallowing difficulty.C. Loss of blood.D. High blood pressure.6. In order not to be infected by Ebola, we should _________.A. have the clothing of the infected cleanedB. avoid eating wild animals like monkeysC. not travel to Africa, America or EuropeD. stay at home without going anywhere7. It is true that ________.A. a certain number of people survive EbolaB. human has found a special cure for EbolaC. oxygen can save infected people’s livesD. low blood pressure is surely caused by EbolaCThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with ev erything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today’s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. It’s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.8. What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?A. Steam engines.B. Mass production.C. Use of electronics.D. Intelligent networks.9. Industry 4.0 will probably result in ________ in the world of manufacturing.A. production limited to an individual factoryB. everything connected with everything elseC. networks and processes no longer existingD. classic factories stopping their competition10What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?A. Sharing information of the world time.B. Global news broadcast at any time.C. Instant worldwide information exchange.D. Spreading news widely on the hour.11. According to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing Industry 4.0?A. The European companies.B. The American government.C. The American companies.D. The German government.D“One City One Book” is a generic name (通称) for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book. Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird，Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying，and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city. The first such program was “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” in 1998，started by Nancy Pearl atSeattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book. The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks，written in 1991.Other cities copied the idea，and the Library of Congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.Each city’s program has its own goals；These typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy. Nancy Pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“Keep in mind that this i s a library program，it’s not an exercise in civics，and that it’s not intended to have literature cure the racial divide. This is about a work of literature.”Programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book. Some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula. In Boston the “One City One Story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.American Library Association puts out a detailed step-by-step guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book. The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.12．“One City One Book” programs________.A．ask everyone in a city to donate one book B．can rid a city of racial divide through readingC．choose short stories for people to read D．encourage everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book 13．We know from the second paragraph that “One City One Book” programs________.A．became popular very quickly B．have been held more than 400 times in SeattleC．were sponsored by the Library of Congress D．reached its peak in 200714．We can infer from the third paragraph that Nancy Pearl________.A．expects much from the programs B．doesn’t expect that the programs would run so wellC．has a practical attitude towards the programs Dbelieves the programs will push forward community building 15．What kind of role does American Library Association play in the programs?A．It picks out the city which runs the programs well. B．It gives free books to the host city.C．It gives a practical guide to the programs. D．It keeps a record of all known programs.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A（2015年吉林长春高三新起点调研考试英语试卷）Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out tobut didn’t. I thought about all the exper iences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?Thank you.21. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Air crash is always a tragedy.B.

The children of the well-off flock to them, whether from China, Nigeria or Russia : the number of foreign pupils rose by 1.4％in the last year alone.Yet foreign students, whether educated in British private schools or elsewhere, are decreasingly likely to go to English universities. According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England, 307,200 overseas students began their studies in the country in 2012-13, down from 312, 000 two years earlier and the first drop in 29 years. Student numbers from the rest of the European Union(EU)fell—probably a result of the increase in annual tuition fees in England from ￡6, 000(＄10, 000)a year to ￡9, 000. But arrivals from India and Pakistan declined most sharply.In contrast to the visa system for private schools, which is extremely loose(the Home Office counts private schools as favoured sponsors), student visas have been tightened. Foreign students used to be allowed to work for up to two years after graduating. They now have only four months to find a job paying up to ￡20, 600 if they want to stay in Britain.This change was intended to deal with fake colleges offering two-year work visas. But it seems to have put off serious students too. Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute says the government has sent unclear messages about the sort of immigration it wants to restrict. Australia and America, which have more relaxed entry criteria for students, are becoming more favoured destinations.Britain’s student-visa system bas become more onerous(繁琐) overall．As a result, Britain is losing out to other countries in the contest for talent．Its unwelcoming attitude will harm its long-term development．And the drift of foreign students from leading British private schools to American colleges may have another, somewhat happier, consequence: America might become rather better at cricket(板球)．1. What’s the aim of UK tightening its student visas?[]A. To control the student number from India and Pakistan.B. To increase the financial income of UK.C. To send clear messages about the sort of immigration.D. To deal with fake colleges that offer‘two-year work visas.2. Why is it easy to get the visa from private schools in Britain?A. Because private schools have bad quality of education.B．Because graduates from private schools can earn￡20, 600．C. Because private schools turn in more money to the Home Office. []D. Because their students can work for two years after graduating.3．According to the passage, Britain________．A. is famous for playing cricketB. will get more talents in the future[学&科&]C. will simplify its student-visa systemD. will help US colleges to develop cricket4. What can we infer from the text?A. Foreign students are going off English universities.B. American universities are of higher quality than English ones.C. Britain’s student-visa system will help its long-term development.D.

One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地)。
