Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I Were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing, so it's important forms to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action. I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.T ogether, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.24.F rom the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author .A.seldom went surfing at the seaB.forgot his experiences about theocean C.never went back to hishometownD.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay25.A ccording to the second paragraph, Australian marine life .A.is escaping from the Coral Seagradually B.depends on reefs for livinggreatly C.may be faced with dangerD.is protected better than that in other oceans26.T he Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to .A.contribute to a complete eco-systemB.prevent more marine species beingendangered C.set up a large nature reserve forreefsD.raise more teenagers' environmental awareness27.Angus and the author created a little video to .A.urge more people to take action to protect the marinespecies B.inspire more people to explore the secret of theocean C.share their childhood experiences about the oceanD.bring back to people their memory of ocean speciesCA water lily painting,Water Lily Pond, by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist, was sold for more than $80 million Tuesday, breaking the auction(拍卖）record for himself. Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put upfor sale during his lifetime.The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919. One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New Y ork, while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $ 12.1 million and is in a private collection now. The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War II."After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone, the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80. 4 million, setting a new world record price for the artist at auction," said Olivier Camu, a scholar of impressionist art.The last record for a Monet work was set in May when Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil sold for $41.4 million.The painting sold T uesday was bought at a 1971 New Y ork auction for $ 320,000. It has not been exhibited since.Monet's later works had unique characteristics, especially Grandes decorations, another good example, which was bedded in Musee de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny, France. He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible, specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.28.According to the passage, Water Lily Pond broke the last record for Monet's paintingsby.A.$12 millionB. $39 millionC. $41.4 millionD. $0. 32 million29.What can we learn about Water Lily Pond?A.It was once auctioned in America.B.I t was cut into halves before World War II.C.It had been kept in New Y ork for over 40years.

Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we're in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we'rewrong and even howcreative weare.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it's even more important to think twice.32.How does "need for closure" probably come intobeing?A.By nature.B. By accident.C. By acquiring.D. By imitating.33.It can be inferred that a high need for closure .A.brings about more stressB. causes discomfort and uncertaintyC. leads to not so good decisionsD. promotes one's creativity34.In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants ' need for closure bytelling them to .A.be cautious about their judgmentsB.value their first impressionC.be responsible for their bossD.pay little attention to the consequences35.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph thatfollows?A Another strategy to escape the pressures of modernlife. B.Some serious consequences of making decisions.C.Other approaches to making important decisions.D.More helpful solutions to high need for closure.第二节（共5小题；每小题2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。

2016二模考试英语试题及答案
2015年高中三年级教学质量检测英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ARaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenev er I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home. Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice. “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alo ne along the highway and country roads, I also felt less than valued t hat my father didn’t seem concern ed about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop. I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (篱笆) the driveway that climb the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observ ation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew that each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face le ngthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes. Dad, it’s me I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph I mean?A. admitted readilyB. whisper carelessly.C. explained clearlyD. spoke unhappily.22. What made the author feel bothered?A. The tiredness after long hours in labsB. The fear of walking home by himselfC. The feeling of being less than valuedD. The loneliness of riding the bus home23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he felt concern ed about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he wanted to meet his son at the doorwayD. he thought his son was too young to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s SecretB. The Hedge Around MeC. Terrible Journey HomeD. Riding Bus AlongBI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years.The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation, and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would at have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention.

Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面) introduced by Windows 8.

About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.1. Self-awarenessWhen a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.”___37___.Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.2. Distance yourself___38___. Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand.3. Don’t try to change complainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. ___39___. If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think. “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project”.4. ___40___When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution.

Find solutionsB. Change responsibilityC. You have got a lot of companyD. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviorsE. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversationsF.
