【2014·棗莊高三模擬】
If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune，it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong，the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
In an accident，a boy lost both his arms and his father—who was the main source of support for the family.Since then，he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him，his younger brother became his shadow，never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes，he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together，they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day，his younger brother wanted to leave，living his own life，as many normal people do.So he was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl，too.One night her mother，who suffered from chronic (慢性的) mental illness，disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother，leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents，only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove，resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city，showed her willingness to take care of her，she was determined to be completely independent.At school，she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-reliant.
One day，the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own，whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote：My younger brother’s arms are my arms；while the girl wrote：Broken wings，flying heart.

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered (凝視) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.
Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
【文章大意】本文敘述了冰箱里放的食物會展示出主人的性格和生活方式。研究人員調(diào)查表明根據(jù)冰箱里的食物能展示出五類人：營養(yǎng)型，食物時尚型，全職媽媽型，快餐型和餐館型。

Robots have proved to be valuable tools for soldiers, surgeons and homeowners hoping to keep the carpet clean. But in each case, they are designed and built specifically for the job. Now there is a movement under way to build multipurpose machines-robots that can move about in changing environments such as offices or living rooms and work with their hands.
All-purpose robots are not, of course, a new idea. “It’s been five or 10 years from happening for about 50 years,” says Eric Berger, co–director of the Personal Robotics Program at Willow Garage, a Silicon Valley organization. The delay is in part because even simple tasks require a huge set of capabilities. For a robot to fetch a mug, for example, it needs to make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors–laser scanners identifying potential blocking objects, cameras searching for the target, force feedback in the fingers that grasp the mug, and more. Yet Berger and other experts are confident that real progress could be made in the next decade.
The problem, according to Willow Garage, is the lack of a common platform for all that computational effort. Instead of enlarging the capabilities of a single machine, everyone is designing robots and the software to control them, from the ground up. To help change this, Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 (for “Personal Robot 2”), a two–armed, wheeled machine that can switch off the electricity, open doors and move through a room. Ten of the robots will stay in–house, but 10 more will go to outside research groups, and everyone will share their advances. This way, Berger says, if you want to build the robotic equivalent (等同物) of a Twitter (推特網(wǎng)站), you won’t start by constructing a computer. “you build the thing that’s new.”
【文章大意】本文敘述了多功能機(jī)器人的研究和制造。多功能機(jī)器人能夠用他們的手在不斷變化的環(huán)境里四處移動。多功能機(jī)器人的發(fā)展需要不斷擴(kuò)展它的多功能。為了建造新的機(jī)器人，Willow Garage生產(chǎn)了25份PR2以備研究。
31．The robots are mentioned to do some specific jobs EXCEPT in .
A．battle fields B．operation room C．people’s houses D．wild fields
【答案】D
【 解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Robots have proved to be valuable tools for soldiers, surgeons and homeowners hoping to keep the carpet clean.可知機(jī)器人可在戰(zhàn)場，手術(shù)室和個人家庭中使用，因此沒有提到野外，故選D。
32．The multipurpose robot may be identified as a machine that .
A．can move about in changing environments and work with their hands
B．can make sense of data gathered by a variety of sensors
C．has a huge set of abilities to finish all the simple tasks
D．has identifying laser scanners, searching cameras and force feedback
【答案】A
【 解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)multipurpose machines-robots that can move about in changing environments such as offices or living rooms and work with their hands.可知多功能機(jī)器人能夠用他們的手在不斷變化的環(huán)境里四處移動。因此選A。
33．According to Willow Garage, we will make real progress in building all-purpose robots if ___________ .
A．everyone is designing robots and the software to control them
B．they can produce 25 copies of its model PR2
C．people can enlarge the capabilities of a single machine
D．people can start by constructing a computer
【答案】C
【 解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Instead of enlarging the capabilities of a single machine, everyone is designing robots and the software to control them, from the ground up.可知問題是每個人不是擴(kuò)大機(jī)器人的功能而是從頭開始做，這樣阻礙了機(jī)器人的發(fā)展，因此要想建造多功能機(jī)器人，就得開發(fā)機(jī)器人的多功能。故選C。
34．Willow Garage is currently producing 25 copies of its model PR2 so as to _________ .
A．design robots and the software to control them
B．change the way of new robot construction research
C．open doors and go to outside research groups
D．go through the room and stay in-house
【答案】B
【 解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)This way, Berger says, if you want to build the robotic equivalent (等同物) of a Twitter (推特網(wǎng)站), you won’t start by constructing a computer. “you build the thing that’s new.”可知Willow Garage生產(chǎn)25份PR2是為了建造新的機(jī)器人，這樣改變了新機(jī)器制造研究的方法。故選B。
35．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．To build all-purpose robots is an absolutely new movement under way.
B．Building all-purpose robots was delayed because of its complexity.
C．The idea to build all-purpose robots appeared about 50 years ago.
D．Everyone will share their advances for they are all-purpose robots.

An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index(BMI)of at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5’8”tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders, ”said physician Adatto. “Underweight models, ”he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny. ”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work, ”said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said, “I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death. ”
However, the efforts to regulate model’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder, ”she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal. ”
【文章大意】本文講述了以色列出臺了一項新法律, 限制模特太瘦, 此項新法律引起了爭議。
1. What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?
A. A measure of body health based on height and weight.
B. A worldwide prize for the healthier model.
C. A new show held by those skinny models.
D. A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
【解析】選A。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該詞后面的at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show(在時裝表演前至少三個月達(dá)到18. 5)可知BMI是一個標(biāo)準(zhǔn), 所以A項正確。BMI指“身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)”。
2. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is .
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny model’s death
C. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
D. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders”可知C項正確。
3. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because .
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B. the fashion industry is much too influential
C. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well
D. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models
【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. ”可知B項正確。

Have you ever felt somebody else’s pain? You’re not alone, with new research showing some people do have a physical reaction to others’ injuries.
British researchers used brain-imaging technology (影像工程學(xué)) to show that people who say they feel the pain of others have heightened activity in pain- sensing brain regions when they see someone else being hurt. For the study, the researchers exposed 108 college students to images of painful situation, ranging from athletes suffering sports injuries to patients receiving an injection. Nearly a third said that, for at least one image, they not only had an emotional reaction, but also felt pain in the same site as the injury in the image.
The researchers found that while viewing the painful images, both people who said they felt pain and those who did not showed activity in the emotional centers of the brain. But those who felt pain showed greater activity in pain-related brain regions compared with the others.
“Patients with functional pain experience pain in the absence of an obvious disease or injury to explain their pain. This confirms that at least some people have an actual physical reaction when observing others being injured or expressing pain,” Dr. Stuart Derbyshire of the University of Birmingham, one of the researchers, told reporters.
He noted that the people reported feeling pain also tended to say that they avoided horror movies and disturbing images on the news – so as to avoid being in pain.
The findings were published in the December issue of the journal Pain.
12. The underlined words “a third” probably refer to ___ .
A. sportsmen experiencing pain B. the 36 students involved in the study
C. patients receiving an injection D. the 108 students exposed to the images
13. The researchers observed the students’ emotional activity in their ___ .
A. brain regions B. eye regions C. faces D. voices
14. If you are allergic to pain, you’d better get away from ___ .
A. reading journals B. seeing scary movies
C. listening to the news D. going to the concert
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Emotional Centers of Your Brain B. You Can Use Brain-imaging Technology
C. You Can Feel Others’ Pain D. Painful Images to the Researchers

A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children’s names.
Nicole Despres
Students services manager, 40 (American)
We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband’s family name. However, we did want to have a Western name too, so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name. We agreed there would be no strange names, spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language). All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English.
John McCracken
Company general manager, 27(American)
My son’s name is Aiden. In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland, I wanted a unique Gaelic(蓋爾族的)name. We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means “l(fā)egendary hero”
Paula Murakami
College women’s Association of Japan, 53(American)
My husband was very excited about choosing names, so I decided to let him choose. He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name. Our boys, Hiroki and Kenta, never had any problems while living on the U.S. West Coast with Japanese names, and I think both as children and as adults, they love their names.
Jeff Ruiz
Recording engineer, 42(Mexican)
My son’s name is Lenny. My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds — mine in Mexico, and hers in Japan — and the name Lenny is common everywhere. In Japanese we write the name in?katakana?as that is easy for Japanese people who seem to like names in two or three characters.
24. What do we know about the people mentioned in the passage?
A. Nicole and her husband had an agreement on how to name the children.
B. Jeff will remain in Japan as his wife is not used to Mexican life.
C. The four couples have decided to live with the children in Japan forever.
D. Paula and her family would love to live on the U.S. West Coast.
25. Which of the following does the underlined word “katakana” mean?
A. A Japanese system of grammar.
B. A way of writing the Japanese language.
C. A Japanese word which means “name”.
D. A name popular with Japanese people.
26. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Nicole and her Japanese husband have a daughter and two sons.
B. Paula has little say in making a decision at home.
C. John’s wife is Irish and the couple have only one child.
D. Lenny is a name familiar to Japanese when written the Japanese way.
27. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.
Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”
Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchers?now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.
For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.
6. What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?
A. His success in helping his cousin learn math.
B. His discovery that many students found learning math difficult.
C. A suggestion made to him at a local high school.
D. His interest in Internet teaching.
7. Why does Khan never go on camera?
A. He’s too shy to show his face on camera.
B. It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos.
C. He wants to keep distance from the viewers.
D. He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere.
8. From the passage, we know that ________.
A. Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
B. Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
C. Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
D. Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife
9. Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?
A. Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.
B. The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.
C. She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching.
D. She cannot concentrate when learning in class.
10. What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6th paragraph?
A. Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration.
B. YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.
C. Short lessons encourage students to return to the website.
D. Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.

The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
