Three years ago, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, got into trouble for questioning women’s“intrinsic (内在的)aptitude (能力)”for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by America’s National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests.
Although boys ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in high school performed better than girls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.
“Now that enrollment i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n advanced math courses is equalized, we don’t see gender differences in test performance,” said Marcia C. Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. “But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes are still there.”
The researchers looke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d at the average test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.
Janet Hyde, a professo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math, had taken a toll (造成伤害).
“The stereotype ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that boys do better at math is still held widely by teachers and parents,” hyde said. “And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors (顾问)steering (指导)girls away from engineering, telling them they won’t be able to do the math.”
The study also analyze ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100, 000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls’ average score.
1. What might be the reason to carry out the study
A. To put Har ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vard University to shame for its president’s prejudice against girls.
B. To find out if there’s any gender gap in science.
C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.
D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.
2. Which statement about people’s opinions of girls is NOT true
A. People sti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll find it hard to believe average girls perform in math as well as boys.
B. Highly educated ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people are more likely to accept the fact that girls can do well in math.
C. Many teachers and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) parents advise girls to avoid careers like engineering based on their talent.
D. Some guidance ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )counselors think careers related with math are not suitable for girls.
3. We can learn from the text EXCEPT ______.
A. girls used to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )perform worse than boys in math because they didn’t take as many advanced math courses
B. the stereot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future careers
C. the average l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ower scores of girls in SAT math test prove that boys do better in math
D. the public does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t accept outspoken prejudice against girls’ talent for math despite the stereotype
4. The main purpose of writing the passage is to______.
A. report the findings of a research into girls’ math ability
B. criticize those ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who hold the wrong belief that girls cannot do well in math
C. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrong
D. help girls regain confidence in learning math well

A practical Engli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sh Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and post intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful.
The book is a comp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on controversial forms.
In the fourth edition,the main changes are as follows.
1. Explanation and examples have been brought up to date.
2. There is now m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of place, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses.
3. Some mate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rial has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must, etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.
4. The conten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more references.
In this edition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the sign “~” is frequently used to show a change of speakers in examples of dialogues. Although the sign “=” sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e.g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.
We wish to thank ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, Germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.

As computers be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )come all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and more or type more In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite
Many educators think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudents to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

B. To Type or to Handwrite

(二)
【要点综述】 全文围绕学生是依靠电脑还是应该用手写作业展开。
1.B 主旨大意题。文章围绕话题“我们学生是依靠电脑还是应该用手写作业”展开的。
2.B 细节理解题。由第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )四段“It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.”和第七段中 “Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite ”可知,学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便、快捷、修改容易。

Throughout my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )childhood, my father was extremely fat, and my family life was filled with finding new ways to lose weight. But on the weekends I spent with my grandmother, everything changed.
Whenever I a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rrived at my grandmother' s house, she would run down her front porch stairs, saying, " My little beauty. " I heard her say " beauty" so often that I thought it was her name, so that's what I called her. The name stuck, and soon everyone in her small neighborhood knew my grandmother as Beauty.
I remember w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alking hand in hand along the shops on Devon Avenue in Chicago to get everything ready for our special Saturday dinner. Beauty was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. It seemed that everyone loved my grandmother, from the baker to the butcher. The men at the fruit stand showed us what was in season and ripe, and the ladies at the beauty shop flattered my grandmother on her beautiful hats, telling her she looked exactly like Ruth Gordon.
Beauty was the perfect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) name for my grandmother. Everywhere she went, she made people smile. We walked along Devon Avenue, buying ingredients for our dinner. Beauty would tell me stories about my family. She talked abouther daughter, my mother, who hated to cook, and how my father would sometimes eat an entire pizza before going out to dinner because he worried that he would be hungry while waiting for his food to arrive at the restaurant.
My grandmother was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )always kind to me and was my biggest fan. Though my parents were very busy with their own lives, my grandmother and I would sit around the kitchen table cooking and talking about our feelings for hours.
Eventually my treasure ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d weekends with my grandmother came to an end, when my father landed a job at an ad agency in New York City. But it turns out that the nine years I spent in Beauty's kitchen were enough for my lifetime.
51. Why did p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople in the neighborhood call the author's grandmother " Beauty"
A. Because they were confused about the author's grandmother's name.
B. Because th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e author's grandmother insisted that people call her Beauty.
C. Because they accepted the way the author called her grandmother.
D. Because the neighbors wanted to make the author pleased.
52. While the author went shopping with her grandma,_____.
A. she could make many friends B. she shared the task with her
C. she had a talk with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the shop owners D. she felt very proud to stay with her

54. Which of the following is the best title for the passage

C. An Unforgettable Life with Grandma
D. Grandma Enjoy Being Called Beauty
【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文,作者回忆了小时候与外婆度过的周末时光,外婆豁达的性格给作者留下了深刻的印象。
51.C【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】第二段说作者听外婆说"Beau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty"的次数太多,以为这就是她的名字,于是作者一直这样叫外婆,很快街坊就都这样叫了。由此判断选C。
52. D【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】依据第三段中的"Beauty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. "可知,作者和外婆在一起时感到自豪。因此选项D正确。

【解题思路】从第四段可知,作者从外婆那里了解到更多关于父母的事情。
54. A【命题意图】考查标题判断。

Studying volcanoes is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38 year old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.
Hazel has been study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising that she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”
Nowadays, volc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000℃, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.”
And what abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut the future “I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of Driving to work just yet.
1. Hazel's c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )laim that “Driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________.
A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past
B. Hazel does not rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in
C. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives
D. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces
2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes
A. When she was visiting Italy.
B. When she was at school.
C. When she was twenty.
D. When she saw Vesuvius.
3. The underlined word “These” (Paragraph 3) refers to ________.
A. melting ice caps B. volcanic eruptions
C. changes in sea level D. higher temperatures
4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.
A. take a dangerous route
B. take an unnecessary risk
C. leave her boots behind
D. walk for ten hours around the mountain
5.In the future, Hazel wants to ________.
A. revisit volcanoes she knows
B. go on holiday to the Antarctic
C. find a less dangerous job
D. discover new things about volcanoes

【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了火山学家Hazel Rymer对火山的一些研究行动。
1.D 推理判断题。由此句话的前一句“B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut the 38 year old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.”以及此句话可知,Hazel Rymer说开车上班比对火山进行研究更危险可以得知,她是谦虚的,并且淡化其面临的危险。
2.B 细节理解题。由第二段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二句“Her interest in volcanoes began at school.”可知她在读书时就对火山感兴趣。
3.C 代词指代题。由画线词的前一句话“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps.”可知,是海水高度的变化导致休眠火山的爆发,故C正确。
4.A 细节理解题。由第三段最后几句“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )‘I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,’she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.‘I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000℃, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.’”可知,她选择了从熔岩流中走过,这是一条更危险的路。
5.D 细节理解题。由最后一段的内容 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“…I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang…”可知,Hazel将继续对火山进行研究,并发现一些新的东西。黑龙江海林市2016高考英语阅读理解练习及答案

The principles abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter.However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet.You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs.Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.
The importance of bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dy language is often mentioned,but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.After all,before a word has even been spoken,your body language will have already given people their first impression of you.Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information.Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident.It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not.Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person.someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time.The members of the application committee will ask you questions,but your answers won’t only be oral.The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’,and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds.Everybody uses body language,but it takes place mostly at a subconscious(下意识的) level.Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
One of our biggest fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in park use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment(蚕食) ” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment to their lives. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters(培养)leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite(仪式)of passage.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for the landscapes. As parents, we should devote some of our energy to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
1. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage, children without experiencing nature will______
A.keep a high sense of wonder
B.be over-protected by their parents
C.be less healthy both physically and mentally
D.change wild places and creatures for the better
2.According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is_____
A.the fault on the part of their parents
B.the natural experience in their growing up
C.the result of their own carelessness in play
D.the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
3.In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______
A.blame children for getting lost in computer games
B.encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C.show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
D.inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around参考答案1—3、CBC 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Good morning.

Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in Nature. In the past three dec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ades, average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degree Celsius) and are projected to jump by about 3 degrees F (1. 7 degrees C) by the end of the century, says study lead author Cynthia Rosenzweig, who heads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York City. "We've already seen that a relatively low amount of wanning," she says, "can result in a broad range of changes. " The unnatural ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings (萌动) and mating patterns to survive. To try to f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw(解冻时期) , are returning to Colorado from their migrations (迁徙) some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death. "Around the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to," says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University. 1. What does the first paragraph mainly present to the readers A. The survival of polar bears in the Arctic. B. The terrible situation for the coastal town along Florida. C. A brief description of what a warming world will look like. D. A new analysis of climate change in Nature. 答案解析:答案为C。本题为段落大意题。细读 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一段,先描述气候变化的几个严重后果的例子,最后进行概括总结,故答案为C。A,B选项都是后果之一,D选项不是第一段的重点。注意把握最后一句 “These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of…”, 答案就不难选择。2. According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage, what has happened to plants as a result of warming climate A. Many species of plants have died out. B. Some flowers have appeared ahead of time. C. Apple trees have produced less fruit. D. Plants have provided no food to birds.答案解析:答案为B。本题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为细节推理题。由第三段 “In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring.

They can predict the change of weather. C. They usually come back when spring comes. D. They have to move away for cool weather.答案解析:答案为C。本题为细 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )节推理题。由倒数第二段 “To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw, are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past.” 可知,robin鸟是冬天解冻时期的象征,比往年要早两周回到Colorado,故可以推断,这些鸟在春天天气暖和后才回来,由于全球气温升高,他们可以早点回到Colorado。故答案为C。4.What does the passage mainly tell us A. Man-made warming changes nature’s clock. B. Global warming is unavoidable. C. Both plants and animals will change. D. People need to adapt to climate change.答案解析:答案为A。本题为文章主旨大 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意题。结合全文内容,人类活动导致全球气温升高,造成了生态系统中动植物生物钟的紊乱,最后一段 “Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,”再次点题。故答案为A。黑龙江海林市2016高考英语阅读理解练习及参考答案

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A new planet-hun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ting technique has detected the most earth-like planet yet around a star other than our sun, raising hopes of finding a space rock that might support life, astronomers (天文学家) reported recently.
“This is an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )important discovery to answer the question ‘Are we alone ’” said Michael Turner of the National Science Foundation.
“The team has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) discovered the most earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has proved the power of a new technique that is sensitive (灵敏的) to detecting planets that are fit for people to live on,” Turner said in a statement.
In the last deca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )de, astronomers have detected more than 160 planets moving around stars outside our solar system. Most of these have been gas giant planets like Jupiter, which are unfit for life.
But an int ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ernational team has detected a cold planet about 5.5 times more massive than the earth — still small enough to be considered earth-like — moving around a star about 20,000 light years away, close to the center of the Milky Way.
To find this new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) planet, the team used a technique called gravitational microlensing (引力微观透镜法). When a planet is circling the closest star, the planet’s gravity can add its own signature to the light. This kind of light signature was observed on July 11 by a group of telescopes in a project known as OGLE, short for Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment.
“The main advant ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age of microlensing is the signals for low-mass planets: They’re not weak signals. They’re just rare,” Bennett of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana said by telephone. “If there happens to be a straight line between a foreground star with its planet and the background source star, then you’re able to detect that planet.”
1. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “detected” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.
A. discovered B. destroyed C. created D. searched
2. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____.
A. prove that scienti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts have a lot of difficulties in doing scientific research
B. explain why this planet moves around a star like our sun
C. teach the readers some basic knowledge about the universe
D. tell people about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a new technique that finds the most earth-like planet moving round another star
3. From the news report we can infer that _________.
A. the planet i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s like the earth because it is close to the center of the Milky Way
B. it is quite po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssible that life may exist on other planets in the universe
C. people have no i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nterest in finding a planet that might support life
D. the question “Are w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e alone” is too difficult for scientists to answer
4. Which of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollowing statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. The signals ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )coming from low-mass planets are too weak to be noticed.
B. Most of the discovered planets are not fit for people to live on.
C. If a star w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith its planet happens to be in line with the source star, then the planet can be found.
D. The power of the ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w technique is proved by the discovery of the earth-like planet.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
All over the world, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, diets for several different reasons.
First, vegetari ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ans have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too much protein but too much fat, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amount of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.
Better health is one r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat.
Many vegetarians do no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable , and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.
32. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons EXCEPT________.
A. they want to stay healthy
B. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animals
C. they live in areas where meat supply is not adequate
D. they should not eat meat due to their religious belief
33. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2
A. Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.

Nutrition experts po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )int out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道).They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

People who enjoy a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when waking. But recharging with a shallow (小睡) offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study added to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain’s ability to form strong memories.
An average ni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght's rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night -- and therefore inadequate REM sleep -- may be damaging their mind's ability to memorize: Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.
In the recent stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dy, participants were shown groups of three words --- such as “cookie”, “heart”, and “sixteen”----and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didn't improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent.
Dr Sara Mednick, a sl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep. People woken while their closed eyes made rapid movements recalled much more colorful and detailed dreams than people woken during other stages of sleep.
1. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage, to have a good memory, a person had better _______ at night.
A. sleep four to f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive hours at most B. sleep as much as possible
C. sleep with f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our or five periods of REM D. have a shallow sleep
答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )由第二段 “An average night's rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep… This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night -- and therefore inadequate REM sleep -- may be damaging their mind's ability to memorize:”可知,REM 睡眠包括四个或者五个阶段,如果成年人睡眠少于七到八个小时,会伤害大脑的记忆力,故答案为C。
2. If you don’t sleep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seven to eight hours at night very often, _______.
A. you will tend to have longer periods of REM
B. your strong memories might be ruined
C. you will have an adequate REM sleep
D. your mind can form strong memories
答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。结合上题的分析可知,如果睡眠少于七到八个小时,记忆力会受到伤害。故答案为B。
3. The third para ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gragh is mainly about _______ of the most recent study.
A. the process ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. the results C. the participants D. the content
答案解析:答案为A。通读第三段可知,本段是关于研究的过程。故答案为A。
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To explain the imortance of REM sleep to one’s memories
B. To persuade readers to sleep seven to eight hours at night.
C. To discuss the relationship between sleep and memories
D. To introduce the new study on sleep and memories
答案解析:答案为D。本题考查 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )作者的写作目的。本文第一段引入了REM 睡眠对人的记忆力的影响,第二段对其进行了具体介绍,第三段介绍了研究的过程,最后一段对REM 睡眠作出了进一步的解释,故答案为D,介绍一项睡眠和记忆的新研究。

Detective Ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eling took his client—a good looking lady into the yard of the store together. The lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.

The detective went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) quickly to the policeman's house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr Keeling. “I don't understand. You told me,‘Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.’Where is she?”
“There she is,” said Mr Keeling. He pointed through the window.
“Do you know the lady with Robbins?” asked the policeman.
“That's his secret friend,” said Mr Keeling.
“No! You're wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong! That's Robbins' wife,” said the policeman. “I've known her for fifteen years.”
“What?” the detective ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shouted. His face became pale. “Who is under the table in the store?”
He started to kick the door of the jewellery store
Mr Robbins came to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e door and opened it. The policeman and the detective ran into the store.

【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了一个侦探误把一个小偷当成了珠宝商的妻子带进了珠宝店,从而导致了珠宝的丢失。
1.D 细节理解题。由第二段“Mr Ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store.”可知,这位“女士”能够进入珠宝店是因为这个侦探打开了门。

When I decid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the right time. It was 2010,and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first,I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

Home to me means a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧).It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences:We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty,but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser(化妆台) lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am frightened or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky becau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(有形财产)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof(evidence)I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )el lost,I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family,my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed(责怪) by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her call my name,which reminds me I'm home.

参考答案1—4、BCBA
高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项
In March 2008,Joe R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near Denver, Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188. Ryan had never set foot in that hospital. Obviously there was some mistake. “I thought it was a joke,” says Ryan.
But when he called t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he billing agency,nobody laughed. Someone, who ’ s also named Joe Ryan, using Ryan's Social Security number, had indeed been admitted for surgery. He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.
Two years later, Ryan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )continues to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesn’t know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information.
Joe Ryan was the v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ictim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise:medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments.
As Ryan discovered, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) money isn ’ t the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your record—and setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. That ’ s because,in part,the information is handed out among dozens of care-givers, from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs.
"I wanted to help st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )raighten this out,” says Ryan, ‘‘so I went to the hospital, and they had a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldn' t let me see it. I showed them my ID, and they said that’ s not Joe Ryan’ s signature. Well, of course not! They had this other guy ’ s signature. ”
Ryan had fallen i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nto a victim’ s Catch-22: If your record doesn’ t appear to be yours, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it.
Ryan' s next step ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was a visit to the police department. But the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical ID theft, and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter.
1. The billing agency sent Joe Ryan a notice to _______.
A. play a joke on him for medical treatment
B. inform him of the payment for his surgery
C. correct the mistakes about payment for his surgery
D. clear up the wrong information in his medical record
答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一段 “In March 2008,Joe Ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near Denver, Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188.”可知,the billing agency 通知Joe Ryan支付手术费用41,188美元,故答案为B。
2. Joe Ryan at first thought his problem was _________.
A. easy to settle B. difficult to settle
C. impossible to solve D. unnecessary to solve
答案解析:答案为A。本题为细 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )节推理题。由第二段 “He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.” 可知,Joe Ryan刚开始认为只要打几个电话就可以解决问题,故答案为A。
3. The number ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of medical identity theft cases in the United States is _______.
A. increasing B. decreasing
C. countable D. changeable
答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节题。由第四段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )首句 “Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise:medical identity theft…”可知,医疗身份盗窃在美国正在增加,故答案为A。
4. An even worse consequence of medical ID theft is ________.
A. some trouble in obtaining insurance payment
B. a big loss of money and damage to credit rating
C. the widely spread medical information of the victim
D. the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history
答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由第五段可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知,当别人盗用了你的名字来享受医疗服务后,他的医疗史就成为了你的医疗史,并且清除这些错误记录极其困难,因为你的信息已经给了许多照料者,包括医生、药店、保险公司和实验室。因此,医疗身份盗窃更糟糕的结果是受害者的医疗信息到处传播。故答案为C。干扰项最强的D选项“改变错误的医疗史非常困难”只是医疗身份盗窃的一个直接结果,但不是更糟糕的,因此排除D选项。
