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

B.     are ready to change their minds

C.     can't exercise control over themselves

D.     are easily affected by windy weather

6.     Losers would think that ,

 

A.     they fail only because of bad luck

B.     they don't make efforts to succeed

C.     success is the result of hard work

D.     working hard will lead to success

7.     It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that .

 

A.     what we believe in is the result of creative mind

B.     whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

C.     setting our expectations is vital before taking action

D.     knowing cause and effect is the key to future success

8.     The last paragraph serves as .

 

A.     an introduction to another topic

B.     a comparison between two views

C.     the proof of the author's points

D.     the conclusion of the argument


B [文章大意]本文是一篇議論文，告訴我們每個(gè)人生來就是可以成功和富裕的。那么為了獲得成功，我們究竟應(yīng)該怎么做呢？

5.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段"People with low self-confi?dence are people who do not believe that they have any power* 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."可知，不自信的人是因?yàn)樗麄儾幌嘈抛约旱哪芰�，不相信自己能為自己的生活做主，就如隨風(fēng)飄曳的落葉。故選C項(xiàng)。

6.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的"Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance."可知，失敗者總是認(rèn)為事情的發(fā)生都是偶然的。故選A項(xiàng)。

7.B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段"You are responsible for what you choose to think and believe.，，和"Your success is dependent upon your level of confidence."可知，人的思想和信念決定一切，走向成功需要對(duì)自己充滿期望和自信。故選B項(xiàng)。

8.D主旨大意題。最后一段總結(jié)了全文大意，即自己對(duì)自己的生活負(fù)責(zé)，堅(jiān)信這一點(diǎn)就會(huì)走向成功。故選D項(xiàng)。

Way back in 1662,John Evelyn,a brilliant Englishman known for his detailed diaries, wrote about disastrous effects of coal-burning on the city of London. In it, he described an infernal scene of smog, air filled with "Columns and Clouds of Smoke", given out by small industries and residences that burned coal for fuel.

I found the description in the 2003 book When Smoke Ran like Water , by

epidemiologist(流行病學(xué)家) and environmental advocator (倡導(dǎo)者)Devra Davis. In it, Davis looks back at several historic pollution events and their disastrous effects on human health ― and at how these phenomena were often ignored or even active?ly covered up by people in charge at that time.

As Davis points out,John Evelyn was ahead of his time when writing about how London's polluted air af?fected the well-being of its residents. It wasn't until nearly 300 years later, after what became well-known as the Great Smog of 1952, that the government began to address the problem in a systematic way.

For four days, between December 5th and 9th, due to all the accidents of the weather pattern, the city was buried in a heavy fog. People were still burning coal for fuel,and low-grade coal at that time,because of wartime condition. A temperature inversion (轉(zhuǎn)向)trapped the smoke from the city's fires, creating a black cloud in which people could barely find their way down the most familiar streets. Some tried to protect themselves, but most people simply went about their business.

But 1952's fog was far worse than any other in memory. In the same week of the previous year, 1852 people had died in London; in 1952, that number was 4,703. And the deaths didn't stop when the weather changed and the fog lifted. Davis and her colleagues an?alyzed data from the next several months and found that about 13,000 more people died between December and March than one would have predicted from historical av?erages. Many of them died of pneumonia(肺炎).The government,she writes, tried to blame a bad flu season. Her detailed analysis found that explanation simply did not pan out.

Davis writes that even today in this country, we still have not completely absorbed the lessons of similar events. The killer fog has lifted in London for sixty-years, and people are dying 

preventable deaths and suf?fering life, changing illnesses,simply because they must breathe the air of the cities where they live.

1. The passage is written to .

A.warn people of the danger from air pollution

B.introduce London's Great Smog of 1952

C.blame the government for the smog

D.explain the reasons for air pollution

2.The underlined word "infernal" in the first paragraph

probably means "   "•

A. imaginary   B. adventurous

C. unbelievable D. annoying

3.One of the reasons for the Great Smog of 1952 was

that . 

A.people burned wood for fuel

B.a forest fire created a black cloud over the city

C.the government ignored the smog

D.most people went about their business

4. How does the writer feel about the present air condi?tion in London?

A. Indifferent. B. Concerned.

C. Hopeless.   D. Panic.

Tanzania Tarangire is a national park inTanzania. The park itself covers an area of around 2， 850 square kilometres, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited it to see what it was like.

One of the first sightings upon entering the park I found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us Tarangire was probably the best place inTanzaniato find large groups of elephants. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched (搔)themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch(癢）.

To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree. Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees.

As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us there were lions all around us. Most of them were rest?ing in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses (尸體)—-it seemed as if the resting lions had killed them ！

Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see ！ We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard there！ We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.

So I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire,

I.閱讀理解

A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次聯(lián)考] People laugh and people cry. But it is thought that emo?tions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears (落淚者)is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behaviour, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (適得其反).

Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emo?tional tears. Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.

Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others (as a crying baby might from its mother) ， the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal(有聲的)cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.

Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress. University of Minneso?ta researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of expo?sure to cutting onions would contain no such substance.

Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome(綜合征）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to meas?ure exposure to environmental pollutants.

1.  What does the phrase " both those responses" in Para?graph 1 refer to ？

A.    Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happi?ness.

B.     The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the ob?servers.

C.     Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.

D.    丁he tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying.

 2. It is known from the first paragraph that .

 A.     shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans

B.     crying may often result in tragedy

C.     crying usually wins sympathy from other people

D.     one who sheds tears in public will be blamed

3.What does the author say about crying?

 A.     It is a pointless physiological response to the environ?ment.

B.     It must have a role to play in man's survival.

C.     It is meant to get attention and assistance.

D.     It usually produces the desired effect.

4. From the passage we can infer that .

 A.     it is unnatural for people to shed tears

B.     we can reduce our stress by shedding emotional tears

C.     shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly

D.     unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival
