But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success and the market downturn has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are"making culture"instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take part in 2015lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition centers.So, it looks as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.(1) The lamp and lantern industry declined after.A. the prices went up sharply some years agoB. big festivals were celebrated in more waysC. we started to correct unhealthy social trendD. they lost attraction to their former customers(2) What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?A. Improving product quality.B. Adjusting managing strategy.C. Designing beautiful patterns.D. Advertising products widely.(3) Which is the main factor in Li's crafts shop winning the competition?A. Their technique.B. Their talent.C. Their creativity.D. Their devotion.(4) One of the purposes of the news story is probably.A. to provide an example for other businesses to followB. to ask more people to take part in 2015lantern showC. to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readersD. to call for a yet more booming market in the business19、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第53~56题8分(每题2分)If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? There's a fair chance that you'd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we don't have perfect insight（洞察力）into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws（缺陷）in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings'mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning. We're actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word "mashua" the correct response was "boat". They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt. It's a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but it's a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success — for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn't have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate（巩固）them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you've learnt them, but you should keep testing what you've learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there's more to testing than finding out what students know — tests can also help us remember.(1) According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don't understand well what we are learningC. we don't know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones(2) The researchers'experiment was intended to.A. confirm we don't know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing(3) What does the author believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you're poor at.D. Strong desire for grasping new knowledge.(4) The proper title for the passage is.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spot20、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第57~60题8分(每题2分)In the remote corner of the country a meteorological（气象的）station was set up. Next to the station was the manager's house. Apart from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necessary information at hand.The manager was a most conscientious young man. He wrote his reports in a neat hand and always truthfully. If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from every possible angle：when, how much, for how long…Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them. He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices. The storms continued.One day he had a visit from an old and experienced colleague, who remarked casually before leaving: "I wonder, my friend, if your reports aren't a bit on the depressing side.""What do you mean?" The manager was surprised. "You can see with your eyes that it's pouring rain.""Yes, yes. Of course, everybody can see that. But you do understand, don't you, that we must approach the problem scientifically. Mind you, it's none of my business. I just mentioned it out of friendship."The young manager was left alone and continued compiling his reports. He gazed at the sky with some anxiety, but he went on writing.About that time he received an unexpected summon（传唤）from his higher authority. The authority received him in a lovely house. Rain was drumming on the roof."We've summoned you," announced the authority, "because we are surprised by one side nature of your reports. For some time now they've been affected by a pessimistic note. The harvest is on the way, and you keep on talking about rain. Don't you understand the responsible nature of your work?""But it keeps on raining…" said the manager.The authority said angrily, "We have here all your recent reports. You are a good worker, but I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"The following day the weather improved. He was delighted and immediately wrote his report: "The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much. Just a few drops now and again. But now, what sunshine!"Indeed, the sun had broken through the clouds; it became warm and the earth was steaming. The manager went about his duties happily. In the afternoon clouds began to gather once more, driven by a cold wind. The time for his next report came and he wrote: "The sun behaves as usual. Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only apparent. In reality it always shines, only…"At this point he broke off, feeling very unhappy. When the first lightning struck, he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply: "17：00Thunderstorms."The next day brought another storm. He reported it. The day after, no storm, but hail（冰雹）. He reported it. A strange calm, even a feeling of satisfaction, came over him. It lasted until the postman brought him another summon. This time it was from the Central Authority.When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind. For several days he reported bright, sunny weather. Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical（辩证的）tone. For instance: "Occasional showers have caused certain flooding, but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers".More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather. Two months later he wrote a report puzzling the authority. An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteorological instruments.Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district. He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields, with a miraculous bell in his hand, trying to drive away the clouds.(1) The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem by.A. using a method based on scienceB. predicting possible changesC. studying carefullyD. performing a trick(2) To the authority, weather reports were to be given probably for the purposeof.A. meeting the expectations of the farmersB. promising the farmers a good harvestC. urging the farmers to get in their cropsD. proving the accuracy of their forecasts(3) The underlined word "pessimistic" in Paragraph 9means"".A. wishing something unusual to happenB. expecting something bad to happenC. doubting whether it will be trueD. hoping it is out of someone's favor(4) The manager wrote his weather reports.A. honestlyB. contradictoryC. ambiguouslyD. impatiently三、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）21、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三一模第61~70题10分Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone, or a way that we behave. We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts. Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness. We believe we will have a bright future. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings, moods and behavior. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control. No one else"makes us angry. "We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to a test. If we select a changeable attitude by becoming unfriendly, angry, jealous or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test.If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining （维持） full control over our attitude.Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires.

Previously , they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Tai wan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take par t in 2015 lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may no t bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural excha nges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valu ed Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern busi ness with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical ma terials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition ce nters.So, it looks as if in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.（1）The lamp and lantern industry declined after________.A the prices went up sharply some years ago.B big festivals were celebrated in more wa ys.C we started to correct unhealthy social trend.D they lost attraction to their form er customers.（2）What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business？________A Improving product quality.B Adjusting managing strategy.C Designing beautiful p atterns.D Advertising products widely.（3）Which is the main factor in Li's crafts shop winning the competition？________A Their technique.B Their talent.C Their creativity.D Their devotion.（4）One of the purposes of the news story is probably________.A to provide an example for other businesses to follow.B to ask more people to take part in 2015lantern show.C to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readers.D to c all for a yet more booming market in the business.29. If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, ho w would you go about it? There's a fair chance that you'd be doing it wrong．One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we don't have perfect insight （洞察力） into how to get the best from it．This is partly because of flaws （缺陷） in our ability to think about our own thinking．Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings'mental blind spots．One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning．We're actually surprisi ngly bad at having insight into how we learn best．Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they aske d college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words．So, for example, they had to l earn that if they were given the Swahili word"mashua"the correct response was"boat"．They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn．After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later．Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then re peat this cycle, dropping items we got right．This makes studying and testing quicker and all ows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt．It's a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but it's a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly．Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success-for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they wer e getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers．O n the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic．While dropping items from study didn't have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed re latively poorly．It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not tryin g to consolidate （巩固） them in there by further study．Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong．You can stop studying them if you 've learnt them, but you should keep testing what you've learnt if you want to remember the m at the time of the final exam．So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there's more to testing than finding out what stud ents know-tests can also help us remember．（1）According to the passage，we often fail to remember facts because________．A we ignore our weakness in memorizing things．B we don't understand well what we are learning．C we don't know where our metal blind spots are．D we take improp er ways to memorize for good ones．（2）The researchers'experiment was intended to________．A confirm we don't know how to learn effectively．B find out how we can consolidate o ur knowledge better．C distinguish effects of memory in learning different languages．D prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing．（3）What does the author believe leads to a good memory？________A Constant measure of your knowledge．B Frequent revision of what you learn．C Firm abandonment of what you're poor at．D Strong desire for grasping new knowledg e．（4）The proper title for the passage is________．A An experiment on memory．B A concept of human memory．C A way to improve your memory． D A discovery of a mental blind spot．30. In the remote corner of the country a meteorological （气象的） station was set up．Next to the station was the manager's house．Apart from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necess ary information at hand．The manager was a most conscientious young man．He wrote his reports in a neat hand a nd always truthfully．If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from ever y possible angle: when, how much, for how long…Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them ．He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices．The storm s continued．One day he had a visit from an old and experienced colleague, who remarked casually befo re leaving: "I wonder, my friend, if your reports aren't a bit on the depressing side．""What do you mean? "The manager was surprised．"You can see with your eyes that it's p ouring rain．""Yes, yes．Of course, everybody can see that．But you do understand, don't you, that we m ust approach the problem scientifically．Mind you, it's none of my business．I just mention ed it out of friendship．"The young manager was left alone and continued compiling his reports．He gazed at the s ky with some anxiety, but he went on writing．About that time he received an unexpected summon （传唤） from his higher authority．The authority received him in a lovely house．Rain was dru mming on the roof．"We've summoned you, "announced the authority, "because we are surprised by one side n ature of your reports．For some time now they've been affected by a pessimistic note．The harvest is on the way, and you keep on talking about rain．Don't you understand the respons ible nature of your work? ""But it keeps on raining…"said the manager．The authority said angrily, "We have here all your recent reports．You are a good worker, b ut I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"The following day the weather improved．He was delighted and immediately wrote his re port: "The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much．Just a few drops now and again．But now, what sunshine!"Indeed, the sun had broken through the clouds; it became warm and the earth was steami ng．The manager went about his duties happily．In the afternoon clouds began to gather on ce more, driven by a cold wind．The time for his next report came and he wrote: "The sun be haves as usual．Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only app arent．In reality it always shines, only…"At this point he broke off, feeling very unhappy．When the first lightning struck, he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply: "17: 00Thunderstorms．"The next day brought another storm．He reported it．The day after, no storm, but hail （冰雹）．He reported it．A strange calm, even a feeling of satisfaction, came over him．It lasted until the postman brought him another summon．This time it was from the Central Authorit y．When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind．For several days hereported bright, sunny weather．Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical （辩证的） tone．For instance: "Occasional showers have caused certain flooding, but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers"．More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather．Two months later he wrote a re port puzzling the authority．An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteoro logical instruments．Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district．He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields, with a miraculous bell in his hand, trying to drive away the cl ouds．（1）The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem by________．A using a method based on science．B predicting possible changes．C studying ca refully．D performing a trick．（2）To the authority，weather reports were to be given probably for the purpose of________．A meeting the expectations of the farmers．B promising the farmers a good harvest．C urging the farmers to get in their crops．D proving the accuracy of their forecasts．（3）The underlined word"pessimistic"in Paragraph 9means"________"．A wishing something unusual to happen．B expecting something bad to happen．C doubting whether it will be true．D hoping it is out of someone's favor．（4）The manager wrote his weather reports________．A honestly．B contradictory．C ambiguously．D impatiently．第四部分任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．31. Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone，or a way that we behave．We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts．Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acqu ire a desired result．But the one thing that determines the level of our potential，and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude．With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings．This brings brightness t o the eyes，more energy，and happiness．Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness．We believe we will h ave a bright future．Even our health is affected in a beneficial way．A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings，moods and behavior．When the mind is negative，poisons are released into the blood，which cause more unhappiness and negativity．This is the way to failure，frustration and disappointment．People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinfor ming us or providing us with negative sources of influence，but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control．No one else "makes us angry．"We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude．Wh at someone else may have done is irrelevant．We choose，not they．They merely put our attitude to a test．If we select a changeable attitude by beco ming unfriendly，angry，jealous or suspicious，then we have failed the test．If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy，then again，we have failed the test．If we care at all about ourselves，then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings．We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to stre ngthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future．If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us，then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining （维持） full control over our attitude．Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires．The combination of a so und personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us giv es us an inner strength and a firm resolve （决心） that influences all the other areas of our existence．Attitude Is Everything第五部分书面表达（满分25分）32. 你的朋友Linda在美国攻读环保专业硕士，在最近给你的e-mail中，她对于明年毕业后是回家乡发展还是留在美国表示犹豫．请你根据以下信息给她回一封邮件，劝她回家乡，并给她提一些建议．preferential policy 优惠政策注意：1．对所有要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译．2词数150 左右，开头和结尾又记入总词数．3作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名人名等．Dear Linda，In your e-mail you say you are not sure whether you return home or not after graduation．I think it is better for you to come back．I hope what I have written here can be of some help to you．All the best!YoursMary．2015年江苏省南通市高考英语一模试卷答案1.

But I never really knew what Christmas was 36 until 1944 in Belgium.My Army unit had moved through biting winds and snow into an area of doubtful alliances （联盟）. We 37 around for anything to make us more 38 -blankets, bedsprings, stoves, you name it. I found a box of Christmas ornaments（装饰物）and put them on the Army truck.On Dec.16, the Battle of Bulge 39 out and kept us moving in and out of action, blowing away all 40 of the holiday. But by Christmas Eve, we stopped at a refugee（难民）camp that 41 hundreds of mothers and children-all very 42 and very hungry.My light suddenly went on. This is the reason you 43 those Christmas ornaments. Time to find a tree.I approached a friendly officer with my idea. He was all 44 it, so we jumped into a jeep and drove until we 45 our tree. Back at the camp, the officer and I suggested that each man in our company（连）contribute a 46 full of necessities for the refugees. Word quickly passed through all the companies, and everybody 47 .The next day, the tree was fully decorated. We 48 folks from the refugee camp, and they walked into a celebration they 49 would have imagined. Our guests looked at the tree in amazement. We handed each kid a 50 army sock. For the youngest children, it was a bit too much to take in, but the older kids 51 themselves.We wanted to give our Christmas meals to the refugee mothers, but it wasn’t 52 . All leftovers had to be thrown out. 53 mothers waited to pull the discarded food from the trash.

It’s the most e ffective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home. I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone. It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.Resist the Urge to Go HomeI would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won’t miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school. Try to avoid going home the weekend after O-Week ends, or for all of September if possible. The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it's just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends.Stay ConnectedI message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keepyourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely andwondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple photo albums to look through. It's also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come visit you. That way you have a piece of home to look forward to. Spend Time on CampusI met many off-campus people during O-week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends. Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don't go home immediately after your classes are done.Live in Residence Halls (寄宿)What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same things, so take comfort in that. Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you'll see that you'll get through it easier than you thought. My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people, I've attended all the events in my residence and school, and I've met tons of awesome people! What I'd say is: don't be shy, and socialize(社交). You'll make friends in no time. I've found residence halls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition (过渡时期). People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.56. When you fees extremely lonely, you are advised toA. go back home immediatelyB. invite a friend to visit youC. devote yourself to homeworkD. Facebook your friends or family57. Why is it beneficial to live in residence halls?A. It is full of people with the same experience.B. It is as comfortable as your own house.C. It is convenient to hold parties and activities.D. It's similar to your old school.BGrowing up in the 1950s,I was a 10-year-old risk-taker who caused his mom lots of stress.Once I got into m y aunt’s car so I could pretend to be a race car drive and accidentally knocked the parking gear stick(变速杆) off. The car rolled down the driveway as fast as it could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbour’s curb（路边）。
