It seemed fanciful at the time, but fantasy is edging closer to fact.On Jan. 3l, a team of scientist sat the UC Berkeley, led by Robert Knight programmed computers to decode (解码) brain waves and replay them as words. Five months earlier, another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw.These experiments are a big advance from 2006, when a French scientist first replayed images from a human mind, a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The possibilities are great: a disabled per son could “speak”； doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted; you could rewatch your dreams on an iPad.There are, of course, equally dark side, such as the involuntary take out of information from the brain.In spite of these breakthroughs,Jack Gallant, the neuroscientist who led the first Berkeley team, says current technology for decoding brain activity is still “relatively primitive.” The field is held back by its poor machinery, in particular the fMRI.“Eventually,” says Gallant,“someon e will invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.” Such an advance into the human mind, he says, might take 30 years.Still, the recent advances at Berkeley offer small answers, which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets of memory and consciousness.7l. What is the best title for the passage?A. New technology can read your mindB. Fantasy is edging closer to factC. A new discovery in human brainD. The intelligent computers in the future72. What did scientist sat the UC Berkeley do?A. They produced a fanciful world.B. They made computers jump forward like a human.C. They managed to translate brain waves into language.D.

Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem."I know how it will be," his sister had said, "People there are nice. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction came into the nice division."Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece."Hardly a soul," said Framton."Then you know practically nothing about my aunt. Her great tragedy（悲剧） happened just three years ago," said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting. They never came back. Poor aunt always thinks that they will come back someday. She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing ‘Bertie, why do you bound?"'At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you don't mind the open window." She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talkon to a less scary topic. "The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement." he announced, "On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement," he continued."No?" said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. "Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, "I said, Bertie, why do you bound?"Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.“What is up?" Mrs. Sappleton was confused."I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly, "He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."Romance at short notice was her specialty.72. According to the passage, we learn that Mrs. Sappleton .A. felt sorrow about the shootingB. got along well with RonnieC. listened carefully to FramtonD. trusted and spoiled her niece73. As for Framton's nerve problem, his doctors .A. recommended him to go off for a shootingB. suggested to him a rest cure in the countrysideC. advised him to keep his mind off excitementD. agreed on the treatment of his diet74. Which word can best describe Framton?A. Cheerful.B. Brave.C. Fragile.D. Wise.75. What can be inferred about the niece from the last sentence?A. She was good at making up a story in a short time.B. She showed a strong love for scary stories.C. She fell in love with Framton in no time.D. She took no notice of strange visitors.【参考答案】1. 72-75 BCCA阅读理解------(D)English is an important global language, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn – but they weren’t always successful.In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for ‘a large green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste’!RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. ‘Father’ became ‘f aadher, ‘new’ became ‘nue’ and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’. Unfortunately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.Even easier is the language which ships’ captains use: it’s called ‘Seaspeak’.Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example you don’t say, ‘I’m sorry what did you say?’ or ‘I didn’t understand, can you repeat that?’ ... it’s just, ‘Say again.’ No more grammar!In the age of international communication through the Internet who knows? ... a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include examples of ‘NetLingo’ like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English as we know it might not exist ... we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!61. The best title for the passage would be ______.A.SeaspeakB. Basic EnglishC. Easy EnglishD. Internetish 【答案】C【解析】标题归纳题。

【2016高考训练】At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”1．The po licemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB.

I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda E vans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years.

AGrandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeksbefore grandpa di ed of cancer in 1965. Although his passing wasvery difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to makehis life longer taught grandma that good health was not to betaken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest ofher own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, whenshe announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various da nces easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was stillunenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball d uring the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.26. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?A. Good health was not there for everyone.B. She should take dance lessons.C. She had to struggle to live a better life.D. She should wear beautiful dresses.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

Nowadays some students in middle school date with their classmates．According to a new study from the University of Georgia, those students have much worse study skills and are four times more likely to stop schooling．They use twice as much alcohol and tobacco than their single classmates．"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and Head of the department of Health Promotion and Behaviour．Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grades．Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviours, including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts． He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and students with highest dating as having the worst study skills," according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviours that lead to academic success such as doing homework for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters．"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications （并发症） of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said．"When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner （前伴侣） dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract （分散注意力） them from studying．""Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school," Orpinas concluded．1．We can learn from the passage that students who date in middle school may _____．A．be less likely to use alcohol and tobaccoB．enjoy better school livesC．be more likely to hurt othersD．have poorer academic performances2．During his study, Orpinas _____．A．found study skills have connection with their frequency of datingB．completed questionnaires about the students7 academic effortsC．completed a survey and a report each yearD．followed a group of students of 6th and 12th3．Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities except _____．A．being kind and helpfulB．being well organizedC．being diligentD．finishing assigned schoolwork4．What can possibly happen to those who date in middle school after they break up?A．They will think it reasonable to get depressed．B．They will miss their ex-partners sometimes．C．Their attention to studying will be affected．D．They don't want to see each other any longer．5．According to the passage, Orpinas holds a（n） _____ attitude towards dating in middle school．A．indifferent B．negative C．positive D．supportive【参考答案】1—5、DAACB由 (2011天津十二区县重点学校毕业班联考)改编I can’t remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania,but I’m sure there were colder days.Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute,it’s easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must,but then again I often have to push myself to accomplish things.People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods.They say they’re “under the weather”,not feeling good about this time of year.As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday,it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were stinging.Of course,that doesn’t matter to Ricky and Lucy.They have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is.So I wait.But this time it was different.As cold it was,I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was.Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer’s extremely hot days flashed through my mind.I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon,with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot,burning sun against my face.I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat.I was grateful for them.Without the extremes in my life,I would never appreciate the days when things were just right.Without the extremes,life would be boring.It’s being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more.Health challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live.Financial extremes remind us that when thin gs go smoothly it’s also time to save for rainy days.I’ve come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment.Whether it’s hot or cold,good health or bad,in the money or out of it,I always wanted it to be different.I’m tired of being “Under the Weather”!18.What is the author’s attitude towards the extremes in life?()A.Grateful.B.Critical.C.Negative.D.Unconcerned.19.That day the writer waited in the terrible cold because .A.his dogs wanted to huntB.he wanted to face the cold bravelyC.his dogs had a routineD.he wanted to be different20.The underlined wor d “nasty” in the third paragraph can be replaced by.A.unpleasantB.violentC.favorableD.unusual21.At last the author drew a conclusion that .A.happiness cannot be gained by complaintsB.things will be different whatever the situation

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier,only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter。
Perhaps,after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman。
There are different forms of color blindness。
In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shades of green。
Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green。
In rare cases an unlucky man see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed。
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”．These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods"，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow。

(A)I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was bu t I obviously had to go .It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻).

【2016高考训练】Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome (学者症候群). Savants suffer from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast(显出差异) sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed. Peek’s unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time---one page with the right eye and one with the left---in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek’s life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the wayyou want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone. Everyone is different.”1. The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 pr obably means ________.A. happyB. vividC. amazingD. short2.
