B [2015.山東濰坊高三一模]

For decades, the San Francisco Bay Area has been the heart of the computer technology industry. Many of the big?gest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley. But the area has not always been associ?ated with charity(慈善).

Now, a new generation of entrepreneurs (企業(yè)家)ap?pears To be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Be-nioff, a donor(捐贈者)，who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He is also the founder of Salesforce. com, a computer services company in San Francis?co who has helped build a children's hospital and given mil?lions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.

Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity. Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America. His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications. He says, traditionally, donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth. Usually donors are in their 70s. But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age. Benjamin Soskis says that is something new. "There's a whole new model that's appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.，，

Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change the way people see charity. That is especial?ly the case in the San Francisco area, where giving money and making money appear to be coming together. "I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identi?ty. "

5.     What is TRUE of Marc Benioff?

 

A.     He joined a non-profit organization.

B.     He advised donors to build hospitals.

C.     He made San Francisco a city of charity.

D.     He set up the company of Salesforce. com.

6.     What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley?

 

A.     They prefer to give rather than make money.

B.     They give after accumulating a lot of wealth.

C.     They are much younger than the usual donors.

D.     They donate more money to their communities.

7.     Which of the following can be the best title for the pas?sage?

 

A.     The age of charity

B.     The changing faces of charity

C.     In search of new faces

D.   From computer base to charity centre

B [文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了硅谷年輕的創(chuàng)業(yè)者們開始從事慈善事業(yè)。

5.     D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句"He is also the founder of Salesforce. com---"可知Marc Benioff創(chuàng)辦了 Salesforce. com這家公司，故答案為D。

6.     C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第三句"But an increasing num?ber of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age."可知捐贈者越來越年輕了 ，故答案為(：。

7.     B推理判斷題。根據(jù)整篇文章的內(nèi)容可知硅谷的創(chuàng)業(yè)者們不但努力掙錢，而且還熱心于慈善事業(yè)，因此慈善事業(yè)的面孔變得越來越年輕了，故選B項(xiàng)。

B [2015 •山東濟(jì)南高三一模]

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings. But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

Middleburg, a small town in the state of Virginia, is known for its horses. For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields. They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox. But first, these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

John Hale,a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town. "We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit, but it incorporates a lot of the old tradi?tions. "The night-time hay ride is one such tradition. Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay. The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

There are some newer traditions ， too. Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort. He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day. He says Mid?dleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.

"Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, take a deep breath, and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit."

   Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask,you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:

"I come here because I'm from a small town. I like how everybody comes together. "" I live right down that street; right there. And that's my dog."

 Middleburg looks its best at Christmas time. That may be why so many people return each year.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

 

A.     Middleburg Christmas parade

B.      A small town known for horses

C.      Christmas traditions in Middleburg

D.     Newer traditions at Christmas time

6. At Christmas, people in Middleburg usually__________ .

 

A.     visit friends and family

B.     feed farm horses with hay

C.     hunt for dogs in the woods

D.     ride in the yearly parade

7.According to Trey Matheu, why do people visit Middle?burg?

 

A.     To relax themselves.

B.     To enjoy the fresh air.

C.     To escape competition.

D.     To challenge themselves.

8. What do we know about the small town Middleburg?

 

A.     It makes a large profit from tourism.

B.     It attracts many people each year.

C.     It is a good place for family gatherings.

B [2015 •齊魯19所名校高三調(diào)研】

Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment sug?gests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.

Martin Doherty ， a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland,led the team of scientists. In this experi?ment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(觀察力〉of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The re?searchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.

The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 per cent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 per cent of the time.

Next,both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles,again of different sizes, were surrounded by grey cir?cles. Here's where the trick lies. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller grey circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger grey circles―so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.

 When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures ?they weren't fooled―they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one,and adults got it wrong most of the time.

As children get older,Doherty said,their brains may de?velop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once ： the tricky

grey circles,as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result,they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.

5.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate .

 

A.     children's and adults' eyesight

B.     people's ability to see accurately

C.     children's and adults' brains

D.     the influence of people's age

6.When asked to find the larger circle, .

 

A.     children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no grey ones around

B.     only adults over 1.8 got it right 95% of the time with grey ones around

C.     children at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with grey ones around

D.     adults got it right most of the time with grey ones around

7.According to the passage, we can know that .

 

A.     a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white back?ground

B.     an orange circle appears bigger than a grey one of the same size

C.     a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size

D.     a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size

8.Why aren't younger children fooled?

 

A.     Because they are smarter than older children and adults.

B.     Because older people are influenced by their experi?ence.

C.     Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.

D.     Because their brains can hardly notice related things together.

[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes．The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours．Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk．

[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?

[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial．Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity．

[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly．To start with, every time you doze off （打瞌睡） during the day does not count as a “power nap”．The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease．

[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes．Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep．If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak．

[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice．The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms．The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine．

[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep．A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work．An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight．
