(2015福建高三高考“集结号”最后冲刺模拟卷)【新闻报道类】

You might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in 2015,there won’t be any candy,sugary cereal or fast-food commercials aimed at kids.

The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels,radio stations and websites.It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices.

First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry.“Just a few years ago,if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network,we wouldn’t have believed you,”said the First Lady,who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity.

The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children.In addition,Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts(度假胜地).Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices,such as smoothies(果汁),apples,vegetables and yogurt.

In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals,other foods that don’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards will be banned from the company’s kid-targeted media.Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air.There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories.Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled.

Leslie Goodman,Disney’s senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship,said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.

Disney isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3310719762.html,st week,New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters,restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple.He says large,sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.

【科普知识类】An electric signal can trick a monkey’s brain into believing the animal’s finger has been touched.

Touch something,and your brain knows.The hand sends signals to the brain to announce contact was made.But that feeling of touch may not require making actual contact,tests on monkeys now show.Zapping brain cells can fool the animal into thinking its finger has touched something.

A person who has lost a limb or become paralyzed may need an artificial limb to complete everyday tasks.But such patients may not truly feel any objects they hold.The new findings point toward one day creating a sense of touch in those who use such artificial limbs.Psychologist Sliman Bensmaia of the University of Chicago worked on the new tests.His team’s findings appeared on October 14 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.

The sense of touch is crucial to everyday tasks:People without it may have difficulty cracking an egg,lifting a cup or even turning a doorknob.That’s why restoring it is a major goal for designers of artificial limbs.

In their new study,Bensmaia and his co-workers worked with rhesus monkeys(恒河猴).The scientists implanted electrodes(电极)—small devices that can detect and relay an electric signal — into the animals’ brains.The scientists used the electrode data to identify which neurons had become active.Then the scientists used the implanted electrodes to zap those same neurons.And the monkeys reacted as though their fingers had been touched.In fact,they hadn’t.

The monkeys couldn’t use words to tell the scientists what they had felt.Instead,they communicated by looking in a particular direction—just as when they had really been touched.

The new findings show how touch-sensitive devices could be built.The new study also offers “a nice clear pathway” for figuring out how to restore a sense of touch to an amputee (被截肢者) or someone with a injury of spinal cord.

The study shows how artificial limbs might be connected to the brain so that a person can “feel” with such a prosthesis(假肢).But such a supersensory device doesn’t exist yet and scientists have a lot of work to do before people will benefit from it.Researchers must first figure out whether the electrodes would work in people in the same way they do in monkeys.

“I think the foundation is laid for human trials,”Bensmaia said.

5.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?( )

A.The sense of touch.

B.An artificial limb.

C.The turning of a doorknob.

D.The lifting of a cup.

6.Monkeys tell researchers their sense of touch by .

A.putting up one of their fingers

B.making their brain cells active

C.looking in a particular direction

D.mimicking natural signals in the brain

7.The last sentence of the text suggests humans .

A.will use touch-sensitive devices

B.will test monkeys soon

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3310719762.html,y foundations for monkey trials

D.will be tested on the electrodes

8.The passage is mainly about .

A.restoring a sense of touch

B.fooling a clever monkey

C.making new artificial limbs

D.sending a signal with a touch

语篇解读:本文主要介绍了研究人员正在研制的一种虚拟的触觉,这有可能让那些残疾人有朝一日能够利

用假肢获得触觉。

答案及剖析:

5.A 猜测词义题。根据第四段中的“The sense of touch is crucial to everyday tasks:People without it may have difficulty cracking an egg,lifting a cup or even turning a doorknob.”可知这里的it指的是前面的“The sense of touch”。

6.C 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Instead,they communicated by looking in a particular direction — just as when they had really been touched.”可知,它们通过朝一个特别的方向看来表明它们被触摸了。

7.D 推理判断题。结合最后一段“I think the foundation is laid for human trials,”Bensmaia said.(Bensmaia认为进行人类试验的基础已经打好了。)和设题句中的humans will be tested on the electrodes.意思相同。因此选D。

8.A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了恢复触觉的研究,还介绍了科学家们利用猴子进行这种触觉实验的情况。因此A项符合主题。

【疑难词汇解读】

1.crucial adj.重要的,决定性的

She broke into the conversation at a crucial moment.

她在关键时刻打断了谈话。

2. identify vt.确定,鉴别;识别

He identified his baggage among hundreds of others.

他在几百件行李中认出了自己的行李。

【长难句子分析】

The study shows how artificial limbs might be connected to the brain so that a person can “feel” with such a prosthesis(假肢).

这是一个复合句。how引导宾语从句,作shows的宾语,so that引导目的状语从句。

这个研究表明了假肢是可能如何和一个人的大脑联系在一起从而使一个配有这种假肢的人有感觉的。【读写一体练】

That’s why restoring it is a major goal for designers of artificial limbs.

仿写:他很坦诚而且乐于助人,这就是为什么我们选他为班长。

答案:He is honest and always ready to help others.That’s why we made him monitor.

Ⅱ.短文改错

假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。

删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。

修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;

2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。

Last Tuesday,the Students’ Union in our school advised that Senior Three students shall do something specially for their parents on their 18th birthdays.All the students are active in responding it and most of them have come up with their ideas.Some choose to write a letter saying it’s best way to express their appreciations as well as love for their parents.Others will prefer to cook a big meal to show that they have already grown up.As for me,I want to do up hair and wash feet for my parents.By doing which my parents have been doing for me I can really know how much they have devoted to bring me up.Being 18 years old mean that we should learn to be independent and that we should be responsible for us.

答案及剖析:第一句中:shall改为should 学生会建议高三学生在18岁生日的时候,为父母做些特别的事情。主句的谓语是advise,从句的谓语用虚拟语气,should do,所以shall改为should。

第一句中:specially改为special 修饰something用形容词:special。

第二句中:responding后加to 所有的学生积极地回应。respond是不及物动词,后面需加to再跟宾语。

第三句中:best前加the 这是最好的表达感谢的方式。最高级前加定冠词the。

第三句中:appreciations改为appreciation appreciation是不可数名词,不能用复数。

第四句中:will prefer改为prefer 其他人更喜欢烧一顿饭,用一般现在时。

第六句中:which改为what 做父母一直为我做的事情。what引导宾语从句,在宾语从句中what作宾语。

第六句中:bring改为bringing 我可以知道他们多么用心地把我抚养长大。devote...to doing结构中to为介词,因此用动词-ing形式。

第七句中:mean改为means 18岁意味着我们要学会独立了。主语是动词-ing形式,谓语用单数。

第七句中:us改为ourselves 我们应该对自己负责。用反身代词ourselves作for的宾语。

Ⅲ.书面表达

假如你是育才中学的学生会主席李华,将负责接待澳大利亚中学生访问团并在欢迎会上发表讲话,请

写一篇发言稿。要点如下:

1.介绍自己并表示欢迎;

2.简单介绍活动安排;

3.食宿安排。

注意:1.词数100左右;

2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

参考范文:

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

阅读理解训练50篇(1) 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC.In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1.“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A.the emotion is harmless B.the emotion is harmful C.the feeling is very strong D.the feeling is hard 2.What statement is right? A.Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症). B.Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C.Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered, D.Anger may cause you a cancer. 3.Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists. A.is just the same as B.is more harmful than C.is no better than D.is much better than 4.According to the author, you'd better _________. A.never be angry B.cool it down before you express it C.laugh and laugh when you get angry D.admit you are wrong when you are angry 二

海淀区2015高考英语阅读理解训练(6)(答案) 【2015高考复习】阅读理解 “The U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)is considering to put stricter limits over tanning salons(晒黑廊)and wants to ban anyone younger than 18 years of age from using a tanning bed,”an advisory panel(专家团)announced last week. The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age.“Given the absence of any demonstra ted benefits,I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18,”said panelist Dr.Michael Olding. Along with a possible ban for teenagers,the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers.In addition,the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safe r.At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices,the ones that are least likely to cause harm.In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2,as advised by the panel,the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit.Class 2 devices include X-ray m achines and powered wheelchairs.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸,拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps,back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. (1)Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. (2)Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. (3)Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Google's new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces," said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like". The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced," Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.(1)What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A.It enables easy Internet access. B.It is equipped with tough glass. C.It can be worn on your clothing. D.It allows of hands-free photography. (2)What does the underlined word "candid" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Awkward. B.Brief. C.Touching. D.Unforgettable. (3)What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A.The advance in technology. B.The popularity of the Internet. C.The screen for viewing and editing. D.The rise of the smartphone industry. (4)What does the text mainly talk about? A.New gadgets in the age of apps.

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly. The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. (1)What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A. The reason for buying fewer drinks. B. The difficult situation of wildlife. C. The amount of plastic waste. D. The seriousness of plastic pollution. (2)What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village? A. The house will be much cooler than normal ones. B. The material of construction will be reduced a lot. C. The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity. D. The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds. (3)Which of the following words can best describe Robert? A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Enthusiastic. D. Sensitive.(4)The main purpose of Robert's projects is to A. provide shelter for locals B. reuse all deserted plastic bottles C. popularize the use of plastic bottles D. raise people's environmental awareness 【答案】(1)D (2)A

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.

高考英语专题题库∶阅读理解的综合题及答案

一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失). A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly. Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings. The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later. The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent. (1)What does the new study tell us? A.Childhood memories decline with years. B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest. C.Childhood memories can fade easily. D.Some adults cannot recall past events. (2)What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Change. B.Remain. C.Appear. D.Return. (3)What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events. B.Children can think like adults when they get older. C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories. D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place. (4)In the second session, nine-year-old children _________. A.refused to discuss the same events B.remembered all their family outings C.could recall 72 percent of their past events
