B [2015 •齊魯名校高三調(diào)研]

   As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn't good:the rate of unemployment is still more than 9 per cent,and the rate of new job growth has fallen close to zero. That's bad for the economy,of course. And it

may be especial?ly discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn't matter to you nearly as much as you think.

That's because job growth numbers don't matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人員流動)data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resig?nations ,and retirements. (Yes,people are retiring even in this economy. )In both good times and bad, staff turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007,when the economy was still moving ahead,job growth was only 132,000,while staff turnover was 4. 7 million!

And as it turns out, even today―with job growth near zero―over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don't mean to imply that overall job growth doesn't have an impact on one's ability to land a job. It's true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it's a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don't is their ability to stay motivated. They're willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labour Statis?tics data show that 2. 7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn't hunted within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don't let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the US. You can be one of them.

5.The author tends to believe that the high rate of unemployment ________ .

 A.     takes job opportunities from people

B.     prevents many people from changing careers

C.     should not stop people from looking for a job

D.     does not mean the US economy is worsening

6. What does the author say about overall job growth?

 A.     It doesn't have much effect on individual job seekers.

B.     It increases people's confidence in the economy.

C.     It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D.     It doesn't mean greater job security for the employed.

7.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?
A. Education.                           B. Intelligence.

C. Persistence.                       D. Experience.

8.What do we learn about the Bureau of Labour Statistics unemployment data?

 A.     They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B.     They provide the public with the latest information.

C.     They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

D.     They don't include those who have stopped looking for a job.

A [2015 .山東濟南高三模擬]

   If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn't hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-ur?gent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.

   Inappropriate calls are a headache for health profession?als everywhere. In the US,prank calls to 911 happen on a dai?ly basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identities. But those who try to be funny shouldn't be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls,according to a report on the US television station KOAA-TV.

People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the calls sound. "There's no way for us to know whether the call is real,acci?dental or a prank call," said a public safety worker inter?viewed by the American TV channel.

The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says,"When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help. ，， Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the se?riously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

 A.     By giving examples.

 A.     meant to be helpful

B.     dealt with in time

 A.     Win at last.

B.     Never find them.

C.     Laugh at them.

D.     Know nothing.

4. What does the author intend to suggest in the text?

I.閱讀理解

A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次聯(lián)考] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安的)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y， always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice ， the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 

  1. The  shop  assistant  insisted  that  the  writer should

A.     trust him and stop asking questions

B.     try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C.     get more information about different companies

D.     compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

 A.     He should get a 50% discount.

B.      The price of the camera would soon fall.

C.      The quality of the camera was not good.

D.     The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

 A.     knew very little about it

B.     wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C.     didn't trust the shop assistant

D.     had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

 A.     we waste too much money on cameras

B.     cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C.     we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D.     famous companies care more about profit than quality

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

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.

5.If you are going to theUSAfor the man-made attrac-

tions, you can drive along 

A. Route 1         B. Route 6

C.the Las Vegas Strip  D.  the Californian coast

6. Why are the photos of the hotels in US cities and re?sorts real in www. oyster, com?

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

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

C. Because there are qualifications of the authority.

D. Because they are taken by inspectors of the web?site.

7.What can be inferred from the text?

A. www. mousesavers. com is a newly established website.

B. Discounted tickets of Walt Disney World are not available for everyone.

C. California's Napa  Valley is famous for its wine.

D. The National Scenic Byways Programme covers all the roads in theUSA.
