由 (2013浙江嘉兴高三一模)改编
One day,Mr.Arnold ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was teaching a lesson,and things were going as normally as ever.He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils.He told them that,in the beginning,men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long.Instead ,they would travel about,here and there,in search of food,wherever it was to be found.And when the food ran out,they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about the invention of farming and keeping animals.This was an important discovery,because by learning to cultivate (耕作)the land,and care for animals,mankind would always have food steadily available.It also meant that people could remain living in one place,and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete,like building towns,cities,and all that were in them.All the children were listening attracted by this story,until Lucy jumped up:
“And if that was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so important and improved everything so much,why are we nomads all over again,Mr.Arnold ”
Mr.Arnold didn’t know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what to say.Lucy was a very intelligent girl.He knew that she lived with her parents in a house,so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean
“We have all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )become nomads again,” continued Lucy,“The other day,outside the city,they were cutting the forest down.A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish.It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere,and when the fish run out the fishermen move on.That’s what the nomads did,isn’t it ”
The teacher nodded, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thoughtfully.Really,Lucy was right.Mankind had turned into nomads.Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs,we kept developing it until the land was bare.And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt,with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”
And,from then on, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )they set about showing that indeed they were not.Every time they knew they needed something,they made sure that they would get it using care and control.If they needed wood or paper,they would make sure that they got the recycled kind.They ordered their fish from fish farms,making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small.They only used animals that were well cared for,and brought up on farms.
And so,from their lit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tle town,those children managed to give up being nomads again,just as prehistoric men had done,so many thousands of years ago.
14.Why would early humans travel about in the beginning ( )
A.To experience different lifestyles.
B.To go sightseeing in different places.
C.To find what they could to feed themselves.
D.To do more exercise to build themselves up.
15.From Paragraph 2,we can know that .
A.people got tired of living in the same place
B.people gradually got used to living in cities
C.people spent a long time in learning to keep animals
D.people tended to settle down after learning farming
16.In the teacher’s opinion ,Lucy’s argument was .
A.reasonable B.ridiculous
C.puzzling D.shocking
17.Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7) ( )
A.People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
B.People use recycled materials as much as possible.
C.Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
D.Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
语篇解读:如果人们不懂得保护我们的生活环 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )境,珍视我们赖以生存的资源,那么当我们身边的资源用光之后,我们就不得不搬到别的地方去,这样的话,我们不又回到多年前的游牧生活了吗
答案及剖析:14.C 细节理解题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )由第一段的...they would travel about,here and there,in search of food,wherever it was to be found.And when the food ran out,they would move off somewhere else可知,过去人们常搬迁是为了寻找食物,故选C项。
15.D 细节理解题。由该段的.. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ).because by learning to cultivate (耕作)the land,and care for animals,mankind would always have food steadily available.It also meant that people could remain living in one place可知,人们学会耕作之后,有了稳定的食物来源,就不再到处搬家了,故选D项。
16.A 推理判断题。由第五段Lucy所说的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )内容和由第六段的第一句话The teacher nodded,thoughtfully可知,老师认为Lucy说的话有道理,故选A项。
17.B 细节理解题。由倒数第二段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的If they needed wood or paper,they would make sure that they got the recycled kind可知,B项不属于nomads的行为,故选B项。由倒数第二段的They ordered their fish from fish farms,making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small...可知A项属于nomads的行为;由第五段的内容可知C、D两项都属于nomads的行为。

Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that tests cores have any relationship with teachers’ competence.

Her daughter’s teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.
Ms. Sane said th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher’s performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.
But other pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their children’s learning measured only by the state exams.
“Some people take it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as the final word, but it doesn’t change who they are as teachers. The ratings aren’t accurate, and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,”said Lydia Delga do, whose child is in the second grade.

Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

In the more and mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.
It is accepte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.
New challenges for cus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tomer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage” —caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
“Many people do not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like talking to machines, “ says Dr. Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you that you can trust them—the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”
Recommended ways of c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering(saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two); replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼券) as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.
Aiming for customer de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )light is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, “I know how you must feel” ), and possible solutions(replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).
Airlines face some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
For British ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handing the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a“we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.
British Airways als ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
Customer care ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as“we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.
1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .
A. complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B. unsatisfied customers receive better service
C. satisfied customers catch more attention
D. well-treated customers promote business
2. The writer mentions“phone rage” (Paragraph 3) to show that .
A. customers often use phones to express their anger
B. people still prefer to buy goods online
C. customer care becomes more demanding
D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services
3. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight
A. Calling customers regularly. B. Giving a“thank you” note.
C. Delivering a quicker service. D. Promising more gifts.
4. If a mana ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ger should show his empathy(Paragraph 6), what would he probably say
A. “I know how upset you must be.”
B. “I appreciate your understanding.”
C. “I’m sorry for the delay.”
D. “I know it’s our fault.”
5. Customer delight is important for airlines because .
A. their telephone style remains unchanged
B. they are more likely to meet with complaints
C. the services cost them a lot of money
D. the policies can be applied to their staff
6. Which of the following is conveyed in this article
A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.
B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.
C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.
D. Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.

For anyone who is d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etermined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and become established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.
Fashion is a hard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，Head of Fashion at St.Martin’s School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”
This may seem far re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )moved from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities，“We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”
Almost all fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self expression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.

由 (2013浙江嘉兴高三一模)改编
Below is a selection about how to make friends.
It’s nice to h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave friends.Sometimes you need one person to talk to.You can play games,hang out or even just talk on the phone.Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong,lasting friendships.Well,take your time,and don’t rush.
◆Join an organiza ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion or a club with people who have common interests.
You don’t necessa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them.But if you have something in common with them,it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities.Whatever your age and whatever your interests,there is an organization or a club for you.Social networking sites such as Facebook,Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them.
◆Join a sports team.
As long as you enj ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oy the sport and support your teammates,joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends.A sports team isn’t the only way.If you play instruments or sing,try joining a band.
◆Make small talk.
Keep the conver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sation light and cheery.Even if you’re complaining about something,make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with,and emphasize the positive-how such a situation can be avoided in the future.Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70(30%talking,70%listening)pattern during small talk when possible.
◆Ask them out for lunch or coffee.
That will give ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better.A good way to extend yourself is to say:“Hey,well,I’ve got to go,but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that,let me give you my number or e-mail address.”This gives the person the opportunity get in touch with you;they may or may not give you their information in return,but that’s fine.Maybe they don’t have time for new friends-don’t take it personally!Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend,and eventually somebody will get in touch.
◆Be loyal(忠诚的)to a friend
You’ve probably heard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of fair-weather friends.They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things are going well,but are nowhere to be found when you really need them.Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends.If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing,or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on,be there.If your friends make a joke,laugh with them.Never complain about a friend.
◆Be a good listener.
Many people think tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t in order to be seen as “friend material”they have to appear very interesting.Far more important than this,however,is the ability to show that you’re interested in others.Listen carefully to what people say,remember important details about them(their names,their likes and dislikes),ask questions about their interests,and just take the time to learn more about them.You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.
◆Be trustworthy
One of the best thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gs about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything,even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world.The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets,so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.
5.According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the given information,what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends ( )
A.Patience. B.Curiosity.
C.Bravery. D.Humor.
6.Those who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are .
A.loyal friends
B.close friends
C.dishonest friends
D.fair-weather friends
7.While having a conversation with your friends,you should avoid .
A.applying the 30/70 pattern
B.talking too much about yourself
C.showing interest in their topics
D.knowing more details about them
8.To be a reliable friend,you’d better .
A.have some common interests with your friends
B.find something to complain about with your friends
C.keep the secrets that your friends have told you
D.exchange your personal information with your friends
语篇解读:在每个人的生活、工作中,朋友是必不可少的一部分,作者在本文中告诉我们如何交友。
答案及剖析:5.A 推理 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )判断题。由第一段的最后一句话take your time,and don’t rush可推知,交友需要耐心,故选A项。
6.D 细节理解题。由第六段的前两句话Yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u’ve probably heard of fair-weather friends.They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things are going well,but are nowhere to be found when you really need them可知D项正确。
7.B 细节理解题。由“Be a good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) listener”部分可知,要善于做一个倾听者,要表现出对对方所讲内容非常感兴趣,故选B项。A、C、D三项都是作者建议人们应该做的事情。
8.C 推理判断题。由最后一段的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets,...可知C项正确。由第二段中You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests...可知A项不对;B、D两项都不是作者建议人们做的事情,故排除B、D两项。

Awareness Weeks （认知宣传 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )周）have become a regular part of Britain’s cultural landscape over the past few years . They started back in 1957, when one charity （慈善机构）, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.
They were right, and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) soon other charities and campaign （活动）groups followed them. These days , most donations（捐款）to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” —spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support . They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.
There are now 500 a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.
The danger with all t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hese awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任). Take National Smile Week; it seems like a great idea. Let’s all make each other’s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it’s just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It’s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.
“People feel th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston , who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other . “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”
“There’s still n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o official group for awareness campaigns,” says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets（经费）or their public relations machines allows .”
This situation has led ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation(模仿) charity campaigns.
But there is anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her way. Maybe it’s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.
1. What’s the main pur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain
A. To raise money for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) charities. B. To spread knowledge of charities.
C. To take up marke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ting campaigns. D. To advertise their goods for sale.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。从第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第二句话 “…decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year.”可知，答案为A。
2. Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks
A. Too many awareness weeks make people feel bored.
B. People feel many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.
C. People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.
D. Awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.
答案解析：答案为B。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本题为细节题。第四段中提到了人们开始对认知宣传周不满意，第五段中首句 “People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises…”可知，答案为B。
3. What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks
A. Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.
B. Official groups sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.
C. People can do what they like in awareness weeks.
D. People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。从 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第五段的最后一句话 ““But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”可知，答案为A。在第六段中Ms Ormiston提到认知宣传活动没有正式的群体（no official group for awareness campaigns），因而人们可以做他们想做的，不考虑到活动经费或者公共关系机器所允许的范围。故B，C，D都与文意不符。
4. Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns
A. Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.
B. There should be la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rge public relations departments in awareness campaigns.
C. Business and awar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eness campaigns should not be held at the same place.
D. Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。从倒数第二段首句 “This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns.”可知，要解决前面提到的问题就要制定法律来阻止真正的慈善活动被市场营销活动所过度遮蔽，言外之意就是市场营销活动不应在慈善活动的名义下进行。故答案为D。A选项与文意不符；B选项未提及。倒数第二段的第二句话 “This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.”可知，文中提到了 “different times”，而非C 选项的 “not be held at the same place”, 故C选项不正确。
5. What’s the writer’s view on Awareness Weeks
A. National For ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )get About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.
B. National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people’s life.
C. National Weak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Awareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.
D. Awareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.
答案解析：答案为C。本题考查作者的观点态 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )度。最后一段中，作者提到 “Maybe it’s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.”，由此可知，作者认为对那些认知宣传周意识薄弱的人要进行宣传，言外之意就是National Weak Awareness Week可以帮助人们更好的理解认知宣传周。故答案为C。 A，B, D 都与文意不符。黑龙江黑河市2016高考英语阅读理解练习含答案

Some people wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six－year－old son's winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York，so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine－month－old and took off for home.
The next day，my hus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )band and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes，I encouraged—okay，ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars.Our total take：$1,600.Not bad，huh
Now some people may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big－time bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar.And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

The garden city was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard(1850—1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer,he moved to Chicago,where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days,it was nicknamed “the Garden City”,almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London,Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time,but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-ce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntury poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded;but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time,the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside,far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities woul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d provide a central public open space,radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company,containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in,the garden city would reach its planned limit—Howard suggested 32,000 people;then,another would be started a short distance away. Thus,over time,there would develop a vast planned house collection,extending almost without limit;within it,each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services,but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system,thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
1. How did Howard g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et the name for his building plan of garden cities
A. Through his observation of the country life.
B. Through the combination of different ideas.
C. By taking other people’s advice.
D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
2. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. making use of
B. making comments on
C. giving an explanation of
D. giving a description of
3. According to Howard,garden cities should be built .
A. as far as possible from existing cities
B. in the countryside where the land was cheap
C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed
4. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph
A. Their number would continue to rise.
B. Each one would continue to become larger.
C. People would live and work in the same place.
D. Each one would contain a certain type of business.
5. What could be the best title for the passage
A. City and Countryside
B. The Invention of the Garden City
C. A New City in Chicago
D. A Famous Garden City in England

2016高考模拟题（由2014·江西卷A改编）
Larry was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gan diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rst expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
1.In what way was this expedition different for Larry
A.His daughter had grown up. B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld dive with him. D.His daughter would dive with him.
2.What can be inferred from Paragraph2
A.Larry had some privi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leges. B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to bu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y diving equipment. D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
3.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes
A.To protect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) himself from danger. B.To dive into the deep water.
C.To admire ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the underwater view. D.To take photo more conveniently.

充分利用夏天最后的日子体验一下户外的生活,欣赏一下这些美丽的风景吧。
社会生活类-
The internet will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) open up new vistas (前景),create the global village—you can make new friends all around the world. That,at least,is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication,its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
The problem is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) twofold (双重的). First,there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second,the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person,our engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.
This is not,of c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ourse,to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world,but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.
In one sense,that’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them,then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other,face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end,but it won’t stop that happening eventually.
1. What is stressed in the first paragraph
A. The present situation of the internet.
B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C. The socially valuable function of the internet.
D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
2. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means“ ”.
A. appointment B. connection C. interview D. agreement
3. According to the passage,the author holds the view that .
A. the internet f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B. the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the internet co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mmunication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
4. What is the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thor’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships
A. He is uncertain about it. B. He is hopeful of it.
C. He approves of it. D. He doubts it.

George Proch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nik would like the worldto put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book,Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself(using his indoor voice):
“We’ve become ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) so accustomed to noise,there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet,you sound like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us,improves our health,and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.
We need to excit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony,the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl,the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor.
Deaf people are v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery attentive(专注的) in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together,using sign language,they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers!We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵) of noise,we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps,of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen.”
1. What does the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. to be quiet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. to be colorful C. to be full of love D. to be attentive to someone
2. What does Prochnik say about us
A. We are used to quietness.
B. We have to put up with noise.
C. We do not think silence to be beneficial.
D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available.
3. Which of the following is true according to Prochnik
A. We need more sounds in our lives.
B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf.
C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is.
D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony.
4. It can be inferred from the text that .
A. we can benefit a lot from old people
B. it is a good idea to use sign language
C. there is no escape from the world of sound
D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound
