一、阅读理解
A
The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards
possible, honoring people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.
Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm, Sweden. Nobel as a young man studied with Nikolai Zinin, a well-known chemist. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (炸药) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive(炸药). In 1857 he applied for his first patent (专利), an English patent for a gas meter. After years of efforts, in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel invented dynamite(炸药), which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. Dynamite was an immediate business
success and it was patented in the US and the UK and was widely used in mining.
During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his
wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important.
When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image( 形象). The newspaper strongly blamed( 责备) Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who
became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.”
To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will( 遗 嘱 ), so as to improve his public image, and to be
remembered for a good cause.
In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the
five Nobel Prizes.

Lots of people love going to Disneyland, but few enjoy the experience as much as Jeff
Reitz, who has been visiting Disney resorts every day, for the last 2,000 days.
Jeff started his daily visits to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim on Jan. 1, 2012, after receiving an annual pass as a gift, and hasn't skipped a day since. He was unemployed at the time, and visiting the parks gave him something to look forward to every day and kept his spirits up. Jeff managed to secure a stable job since then, but he still makes time for
Disneyland, every evening.
Jeff Reitz loves the rides, but he also enjoys the music, communicating with the staff and
visitors, and just watching the other visitors.
On Thursday, Jeff walked through the gate for the 2,000th day, setting a new world record for continued visits to Disneyland, and since his annual pass expires in January 2018, he plans to extend his lead even more. He will decide whether he'll renew his pass and continue his daily routine, but whatever he decides to do, "nobody can take that fun away
from me".
Visiting Disneyland every day has had a positive impact on his life. He met his girlfriend, Karen, during one of his visits a few years ago. He has an active social life because
of it, communicating with both staff and visitors, and even managed to lose 40 pounds by
walking around every day.

sell raffle tickets for charity ，and that charity was us!

raffle book ，a pen and a large cloth bag to carry the money.
We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets ， so people were familiar with us when we appeared at their doors.Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer ，they were very generous.Although there were no actual prizes ，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle
tickets.

“clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s
fundraising career could continue safely.We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.Also I remember my sister’s entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.

二、七选五
Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic. 16 Once the doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they won’t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong. 17 Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan, many people may never be in this situation. He has
invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic (诊断的) tool.
Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places, even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses, there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough
training to correctly interpret what they see. 18 With Ozcan’s mobile phone app,
health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis
back in a few minutes.
19 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic
system is fairly low.
By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology—mobile phones—Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be
effectively almost anywhere. 20
A ．As a result, they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B ．People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C ．This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D ．Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E．You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F．Ozcan’s simple, cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G ．Even though you may only have a simple infection, you might die because of the
delay.

【点睛】非等距离挖空的命题方式是完形填空的最大特色。短文首句不挖空， 以便为考生理 解全文留下足够信息， 命题者根据考查目的进行挖空， 造成信息链中断， 这就要求考生依据 上下文的文意捕捉到空白处的缺词。从近几年高考完形填空题看， 纯语法知识几乎不考， 主 要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力， 尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主， 着重考查考生对文 章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力。因此， 把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系， 通过上下文暗 示， 对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握。因此同学们要遵循“上下求索” 的原则来查找信息。本 文第 16 题， 根据 One of the things he said was “I 17 my basketball hoop（圈） . ” 可
知我们正在谈论他对他的家做出的改进，故选 B。
