2015⾼考英语模拟试卷及答案【4】 第三部分阅读理解(共20⼩题;每⼩题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短⽂，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.[ /] The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡⾕). When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.” Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank(⽤⼒拉)his mother out. But she didn’t move. “Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep.” Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her. Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!”the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital. It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today---“I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and high cheekbones; now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”--- but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries. Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained. “ I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother. 56. According to the text, Rocky and Kelly _________ .A. were lost on a country roadB. had limited time to find their wayC. were involved in a truck accidentD. knew little of what happened to them 57. When he woke up, Rocky ___________ .A. was frightened by his mother’s bloodB. found his mother had fallen asleepC. was stuck against the door of the truckD. found the car was turned over 58. What happened to Kelly at last?A. She passed away.B. She survived and recovered from injuries.C. She became a hero.D. She had a different life. 59. What is the best title for the text?A. A Boy and His MotherB. How to Behave Well?C. I Think I CanD. Nothing is Lost B Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States. The result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer new cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year. The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University. Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium(钠), which is how foods may list their salt content. The government says the average American man ears ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also rise. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference. Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute show that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children. 60. According to the passage, what disease is not related to salt in diet?A.Cancer.B. Stroke.C. Blood pressure.D. Heart attack. 61.It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt B. the American Heart association suggest less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone C. how much salt is contained in certain food is measured by the amount of sodium D. the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be 62.The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to________. A. attract the public attention to the problem B. require fast food places to list salt information C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants 63.The last paragraph mainly tells us________. A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people’s health B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information D. a new study is being done about calorie information C With so many unique attractions, world-famous museums and skyscrapers, there is always plenty to do in New York. However, sightseeing in New York City might not be the easiest or the cheapest experience. This is why our team of real, life-long New Yorkers have created the New York Pass. If you want to discover the best of what this amazing city offers as well as save time and money during your visit, the New York Pass is something you should be interested in. In 2012, New York Passes have been used over 2,500,000 times. Get your Pass today and join the big savings it offers: 64. The purpose of this passage is to _________.A. promote New York PassB. introduce New York PassC. introduce New York attractionsD. show New York attractions tickets fee 65. What could be the lowest price for a Three-day adult pass and a Two-day child pass?A. $290.B. $246.5 .C. $263.D. $ 273.5. 66. Which of the following is true about New York Pass? A. Its holders can save up to $1300 entrance fees. B. Its holders needn’t pay for the attractions it covers. C. Its holders needn’t queue to enter the attractions it covers. D. It can be picked up at Times Square at any time after you order it. 67. The underlined phrase “are entitled to” most probably means “are given________ of”.A. the nameB. the privilegeC. the titleD. the honor D We all make excuses. But the successful ones are those who can kill the excuses like the miserable maggots they are. I’m too tired. I don’t have the time. I don’t feel motivated. I’d rather do nothing. I don’t have the money, equipment, space.I can’t because … We’ve all made the excuses. Here’s how to kill them. See the positive. Excuses are usually made because we don’t feel like doing something — we’re accentuating the negative. Instead, see the fun in something, the joy in it. And maintain a positive attitude, or you’ll never beat the excuses. Take responsibility. Excuses are ways to get out of owning up to something. If we don’t have the time, money, equipment, etc., then it’s not our fault, right? Wrong. Take responsibility, and own the solution. Find a solution. Just about every problem has a solution. Don’t have time? Start with just 5-10 minutes. Make the time. Wake earlier. Do it during lunch. Don’t have the energy? Do it when you have higher levels of energy. You’re smart. Figure out the solution. See your goal. This is your motivation — your reason for doing it. Sure, you could just lay on the couch, but if you think about why you really want to pursue a goal, you’ll be motivated. Visualize that goal and just get started. Be accountable. Have a workout partner, a project partner, a team, someone to report to. If you have to meet a coach or partner, you’re more likely to do something. Watch this. Then go an do it. 68.How many tips mentioned in the text to prevent excuses?A. FourB. ThreeC.SixD. Five 69.The second paragraph is developed mainly by _______ A. providing common examples. B. following the order of time. C. making comparisons of excuses. D. analyzing common excuses 70.The definition of the underlined word” visualize” would most probably be ______ A. to view the outline of something by means of an X-ray. B. to weaken or spoil the quality or efficiency of something. C. to form a mental image of something incapable of being viewed. D. to express the formal image of something capable of being seen. 71.Why do you need a partner according to the passage? A. because you are likely to make a report to someone. B. because it’ll be more possible for you to do something wih a partner. C. because you need a coach to help you do something. D. because you like to do something with a partner or a coach. E All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything.In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机) , which supplies 5% of the store's electricity.It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant. The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing."One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees," says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott."If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference." Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants Wal-Mart's fleet (车队) of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show Wal-Mart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so. Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart's controversial labor and health-insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green.Scott says, "This is a businessphilosophy, not a social philosophy.We don't go where we don't think there's a great interest in change." Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining.He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield (保护，庇护) Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming." By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything," he says."At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take." Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit. 72. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart's CEO B. there are 5, 200 stores in the world C. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market D. Wal-Mart has more than 7, 000 trucks all over the world 73. What does the underlined sentence "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy." mean in the fourth paragraph? A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity. B. Wal-Mart's green activity is just window dressing. C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices. D. Wal-Mart doesn't have any social responsibility at all. 74. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future? A.Reduce air pollution in its present stores. B.Give favorable treatment to its consumers. C.Ask the factories to reduce their packaging. D.Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before. 75. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.Provide the background of the green plan. B.Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart's green plan. C.Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays. D.Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.。

Did you lose consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．""What did you do?" I asked．"Well, there was a big．strong nurse shouting questions at me．" said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （过敏的）to anything．"Yes．' I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead．'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned

anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching（紧握，紧咬）her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person．It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verbal—for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．61．From the case of Tina, we can know that _____．A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lotC．schools are to blame D．personalities are related62．Which of the following is NOT bullying?A．To beat someone repeatedly．B．To call someone names．C．To isolate someone from friends．D．To refuse to help someone in need．63．Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?A．Because it can involve more people．B．Because it can create worse effects．C．Because it is more convenient．D．Because it can avoid cheating．64．According to Susan Sweater．_____．A．bullies are anti-socialB．bullies should give victims helpC．students are not equally treatedD．bullies themselves also need help65．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．Bullying—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB．15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC．Cyberbullying—Taking Off in SchoolsD．How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory．" says the Educational and Training Support Agency．This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development．"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency．"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes．" says the Government-founded agency．"It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills．Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes．" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills．In the United States, some companies have contracts （合同）which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date．Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system．At the same time．businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase．"This．of course," says business theory．"will also improve the productivity （生产率）of the workers and therefore the profits of the company．"66．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____．A．they are not loyal to companiesB．other rewards replace gold watchesC．the way prove to be a failureD．serving a company for life is rare now67．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____．A．hopping from job to job has become a new trendB．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC．workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers should A．show more loyalty to their companiesB．try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC．go to college to have their skills up to dateD．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____．A．people who have received higher educationB．people who study hard themselvesC．people who learn things very quicklyD．people who continue their study beyond regular education70．Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____．A．it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB．it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC．it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD．it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing （45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Fill．in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep．However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus．Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus．Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone．Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve．Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing．This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture．Actors do this a lot to block out laughter,noise, or other distractions．An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert．Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen．This can actually be a lot of fun．and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only．If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy．Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon．and finally, another list for the evening．Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around．For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive．Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive．Planning helps you focus．It will also not stress you out．Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks．If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV．Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks．Use this time wisely．Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office．Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done．Y our breaks should be as quiet as possible．Read a book．take a walk．or visit a daycare．Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest．The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds．Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day．A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in．Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis．Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well．Focus is important but difficult to improve1．71 to improve your focusI ．Staring at picture．◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ．73 ．◆ Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ．75 ．◆ Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done．as well as arranging time for relaxationIV．Taking breaks．◆ Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2．78 for easily losing focus◆ Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain．Section B （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor．Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed．Themass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure．Sydney died at the age of 11．After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer．I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions．When I was 11 years old．I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends．The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach．My goal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children．Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments．I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event．The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale．raised $ 9．000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73．000．The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated．In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars．I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned．PPD received an award from a U．S．Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen V ogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show．Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause．The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research．PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy．The discovery appeared in Time Magazine．, and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012．1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology．Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist．My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world．The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer．81．Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? （No more than 8 words）82．What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）83．What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? （No more than 13 words）84．What did the author learn from his own experience of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）Section C （25 marks）Directions Write, an English composition according to the instructions given below．现今，中学生由于学业繁重几乎都没有在家承担任何家务责任。

The one who can use English to communicate.BWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,”and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i”as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.25. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.D. Aiming high even when doing small things.26. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To teach him English pronunciation.D. To help him form the habit of saving.27. The piggy bank originally was ________.A. a cheap clay containerB. a potter’s instrumentC. an animal-shaped dishD. a pig-like toy for children28. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the difficulty of starting a businessD. the importance of managing moneyCThe behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own —though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have theknowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals’behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted —whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.29. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. the behaviour of building usersB. zero-carbon homesC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions30. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?A. The necessity of making a careful building design.B. The importance of changing building users’habits.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.31. The information gap in energy use _______.A. affects the study on energy monitorsB. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’old habits32. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.D. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.DThe kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,”said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,”said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,”where they can read to learn. Itwon’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.33. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It contributes to their self-study.B. It trains teachers for them.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.34. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. draw pictures of animals.B. learn English words quickly.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.35. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.D. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.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入空白处的最佳选项。

A The Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to l8 who have shown leadership and courage in public service．Each year ten winners each receive$2，000 to support their higher education or their service work． Ellie Wen，18，was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles．The center was set up to help immigrant families．She happened to meet adults in an EFL(English as a foreign language)class．“When I saw them struggling hard，I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English，”Ellie said． So she started a Website，“Repeat After Us”，where people can listen to English and practice their accents．Volunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6，600 texts，including Abraham Lincoln’s“Gettysburg Address”． Hard work pays off．There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged，but she stuck to it．The Website crashed early on，and all the recordings were lost．But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over，and the visitors returned to the site．“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind．Even if you do have trouble，people will help you,”Ellie said．“I was really excited the first month，when we had 49 visitors，”she said．Now，more than 480，000 people from a11 over the world have visited the site．“I get e-mails from China，Egypt，India，and Brazil．”They say，“Thank you so much for this resource，we’ve been waiting for it forso long!”Ellie loves kno wing she is helping so many people． Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do．And they encourage others to join in if they see a need．Anybody can be negative，but it needs somebody brave to be positive．Are you the brave one？21．Choose the right order of the following． a．Ellie started a Website，Repeat After Us． b．Ellie happened to meet adults in an EFL class． c．All the recordings were lost． d．Ellie became a Gloria Barron Prize winner． e．More than 480，000 people from all over the world visited the site． A．c―b―a―e―d B．a―e―d―c―b C．b―a―c―e―d D．b―c―a―e―d 22．Which of the following statements is true?

Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumors． Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones cancause brain tumors．“It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter． But others believe these concerns are not justified．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger．” Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场)and illness―so weak that it might not exist at a11．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been underway for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk． 24．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________. A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancer B．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone use C．some experts have given a warning D．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors 25．By saying“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______. A．the worrying is unnecessary B．cancer―warning labels should be on cell phones C．there is a link between cell phones and cancer D．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer 26．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate? A．Optimistic． B．Objective． C．Opposite． D．Casual． 27．The under lined word“justified”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_____． A．explained B．confirmed C．classified D．restrictedC Can you believe your eyes?A recent experiment suggests thatthe answer to that question may depend on your age． Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 a―dults aged 18 to 25． The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time． Next，both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here’s where the trick lies．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles―making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles―so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle． When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren’t fooled―they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time． As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they’re more likely to fall for this kind of vi sualtrick． 28．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate______． A．Children’s and adults’eye-sight B．people’s ability to see accurately C．children’s and adults’brains D．the influence of people’s age 29．When asked to find the larger circle，_____． A．children at 6 got it wrong 79％of the time with no gray ones around B．only adults over 18 got it right 95％of the time with gray ones around C．children at 4 got it right about 79％of the time with gray ones around D．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around 30．According to the passage，we can know that_____． A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background B．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size C．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size D．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size 31．Why are younger children not fooled? A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults． B．Because older people are influenced by their experience． C．Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older． D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together． D As you are probably aware，the latest job markets news isn’t good：Unemployment is still more than 9 percent，and new job growth has fallen close to zero．That’s bad for the economy，of course．And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now．But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think．That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data．After all，existing jobs open up every day due to promotions，resignations，and retirements．(Yes，people are retiring even in this economy．)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does．Even in June of 2007，when the economy was still booming along，job growth was only 132，000，while staff-turnover was 4．7 million! And as it turns out，even today―with job growth near zero―over 4 million jo b hunters are being hired every month．I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job．It’s true that if total employment were higher．it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for)．And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening，regardless of whether it’s a new one or not． But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated．They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills；be creative about where and how to look；learn how to present themselves to potential employers；and keep going，even after repeated rejections．The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2．7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed． So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up．Four million people get hired every month in the U．S．You can be one of them 32．The author tends to believe that high unemploymentrate____． A．takes job opportunities from people B．prevents many people from changing careers C．should not stop people from looking for a job D．does not mean the U．S. economy is worsening 33．What does the author say about overall job growth? A．It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers． B．It increases people’s confidence in the economy． C．It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed． D．It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed． 34．What is the key to finding a job according to the author? A．Education B．Intelligence C．Persistence D．Experience 35．What do we learn about The Bureauof Labor Statistics unemployment data? A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is． B．They provide the public with the latest information． C．They warn of the structural problems in the economy． D．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job．第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
