I 閱讀理解[2015 ?河南重點高中教學質檢]

Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington D. C. He developed a prototype(原型)for a device he calls Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding lad?der that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Mr Mountain says, "I think it encourages innovation. 1 think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. " Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

"TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, a wood shop, lasers, 3-D printers, and electronics. I mean, we have so many different areas and we have all the equipment that is available to anybody above the age of 12."

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines inclu?ding 3-D modelling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

"Our motto is 'build your dreams here' because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your pro?ject on your prototype or even your business.,,

Jim Newton is the founder of TechShop. He first intro?duced the idea for the technology workshops at an arts and sciences event called Maker Faire in San Mateo* California in 2006. His idea attracted hundreds of members during that event. Now, there are eight TechShop locations in the US. In all, there are more than 6,000 members.

B [2015.四川大竹中學高三模擬]

   Dyslexia is a learning disorder, and it interferes with the ability to recognize words, and for some readers to under?stand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten per cent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.

   But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quick?ly―play video games.

Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biolo?gy, The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.

In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dys?lexia and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doc?tor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions. She found that people with dyslexia were 〗ust as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dys-lexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time. This may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.

Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly. " Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quick?ly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the vide-o game is really training the attention system to move quick?ly," said Harrar. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound , or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.

5.According to Doctor Harrar's study, the dyslexic people
have difficulty in__________ .

 A.     recognizing words

B.     reading words backwards

C.     writing letters in order

D.     shifting from seeing to hearing

6. Which factor affects the way dyslexic children are taught to read?

A.     They react more slowly to a single picture or sound.

B.     They react as fast as others to a single picture or sound.

C.     It takes them longer to react to sounds and pictures together.

D.     It is difficult for them to understand before seeing the word.

7.How does the author suggest dyslexics are taught based on the research finding?

 A.     By putting hearing previous to seeing.

B.     By training the attention on games.

C.     By seeing first and then hearing later.

D.     By moving the eyes around the screen.

8. What can be the best title of the passage?

 A.     Video games might help dyslexics

B.     Dyslexia affects attention between senses

C.     Video games can train the attention system

D.     Dyslexics might learn better through sound

B  [2015 '安慶市五校聯(lián)考]

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your fail?ures. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a win?ner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confi?dence are people who do not believe that they have any pow?er, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed(搖擺)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that hap?pens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If you can identify(確定)the cause, you can control the effect. You are responsible for what you choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. You are respon?sible for setting your expectations. Your success is dependent upon your level of confidence.

In all areas of your life, whether they are financial? physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recog?nize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.

5.     People with low self-confidence are compared to leaves be?cause they .

 A.     don't have the power to face their lives

Plan on travelling around theUSAthis summer? If you need help in arranging the trip,or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of out?standing websites that can make your American dream come true.

http : //byways, org

The National Scenic Byways Programme covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes , such as Route 1 along the Californian coast. Others focus on his-tory(such as Route 6) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you are provided with a map, told the route's length and how long it is allowed, and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs.

www. oyster, com

This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts. The reviews are impressively thorough― covering locations, rooms, cleanliness, food and so on. Importantly, these are not promotional photos by the ho?tels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by in?spectors. Search facilities are excellent. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles,or just pick out a selection of the best.

www. lOlusholidays. co.uk

This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to theUSA. It's an impressively diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California's Napa Valley. Narrow down what you are looking for―by price, region, theme and who will be travelling―and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It's a really clever design.

www. mousesavers. com

Walt Disney World in California can make dreams come true,but the price is not affordable for the majority of people.

So turn to long established Mousesavers. com,dedi?cated to giving big discounts on tickets,hotels and dining at Walt Disney World. The website also offers general money-saving tips, suggestions for cheap and free stuff and brief coverage of other Florida and California theme parks.

tions, you can drive along 

A. Route 1         B. Route 6

A. Because they were taken by customers who once lived there.

B. Because there are comments of customers on each photo.

A [2.015 "綏化市三校高三聯(lián)考]

While success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail mis?erably often flourish (繁榮)more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of manage?ment at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals per?form much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds.

"We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years," said professor Desai, who led the study. "But compa?nies often ignore failure. Managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.,,

Professor Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis' flight last year, a piece of insulation(絕緣體)broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (火箭助推器)but didn't influ?ence the programme. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its seven-person crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation re?sulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters.

The difference in response in the two cases came down to this : Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure.

"Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable," he said. " The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of acci?dents. "

Professor Desai doesn't recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyse small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.

1. Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of At?lantis?

 A.     Because it worked perfectly.

B.     Because the right booster was still OK.

C.     Because nothing serious happened then.

D.     Because fewer people died in the flight.

2.Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that . 

A. their planes couldn't fly high in the sky

 B.      they gained much from experience in failure

C.      their planes were often checked by the experts

D.     they were unpopular among passengers

 3.The passage is written mainly to_____________ .

 A.     show failure is a better teacher than success

B.     explain why the Challenger failed

C.     introduce something about Professor Desai

D.     tell managers how to achieve success

4.Which writing strategy is NOT used in developing the passage?

 A.     Giving definitions.

B.     Making comparisons.

C.     Analysing causes.

D.     Providing different examples.

B [2015 •南京市、鹽城市高三年級第一次模擬〗According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) , the UK has about 7. 7 million families with dependent children, of which 3. 7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1. 1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 per cent and will likely rise to more than 50 per cent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It ap?pears that families are getting smaller."

One obvious reason for this could be that women are put-ting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an in?creasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mums-net, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".

She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one child, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.

Not all products of single-child families are as keen to re-' peat the experience.  In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of eve?rything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery".

Writer and clinician Dr Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society , says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.

However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find them?selves looking after their own parents as they become older.

5.The passage is written with the purpose of___________ .

 A.     illustrating the strength and weakness of having an on?ly child

B.     analysing the reasons why having an only child be?comes popular

C.     presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D.     guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

 A.     Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.

B.     All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.

C.     Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.

D.     People brought up in an only child family resist down?sizing the family.

7. From what Dr Dorothy Rowe said, we know that____________ .

 A.    journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable child?hood

B.     she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's re?action

C.     it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D.    some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

8.What can be inferred from the passage?

 A.     It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.

B.      Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.

C.      Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.

D.     Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.

A [2015 •山東棗莊第八中學高三模擬]

  If you've ever dashed into the grocery store to pick up a tube of toothpaste, you're likely to stop before so many op?tions available. There are at least more than a dozen brands? each one presenting several different specialties of cleaning ability. Sometimes before you have enough time to take the costs , flavours and colours into consideration , you are warned the store is closing.

But it's not just the number of options that gives us pause for thought—it's the amount of information each option has that trips us up, too. Social scientist Barry Schwartz thinks that in part, an abundance of choices and information may make us falsely believe that even a fairly ordinary task like shopping for toothpaste has great significance than it re?ally does. He also points out that the Internet can actually make matters worse.

Our goal is to make the "perfect" choice. When we make decisions, we're motivated not only by the opportunity for gain, but also by the fear of loss. The decision-making process isn't a purely analytical one—researchers discovered that the process of making a choice lights up parts of our brains that deal with regret and emotional memories. But what we may regret most is the extra time spent analysing and comparing each and every bit of information, which can lower our decision-making ability.

One good approach is to place a value on the time it takes to make your decision, compared to the value of the decision itself. In the case of toothpaste, you probably serve your in?terests sufficiently by quickly choosing any toothpaste that keeps white teeth securely rooted in your minty(薄荷味的) mouth.

1. We can learn from the first paragraph that .

A.     more options help people make the right decision

B.     different kinds of toothpaste function similarly

C.     people's personal preferences affect their choices

D.     time is wasted on making insignificant decisions

 2.  What can we infer from the second paragraph? 

  A. People often make wrong decisions.

B.  There are no small decisions in life.

C. The Internet provides more options.

D. Careful choice is worth the effort.

3. In making choices,people have to balance ____________ .

 A.     time and place

B.     gain and loss

C.     regret and memories

D.     opportunity and motivation

4.The writer's purpose in writing this text is to .

 A.     give advice on how to make a quick and right choice

B.     show how valuable time is wasted for nothing

C.     describe the choice-making process in our brain

D.     offer tips on how to save time when shopping
