科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2016屆山西太原市高三4月階段性檢測(cè)（模擬）英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

On a hot August morning, in a classroom overlooking New York’s Hudson River, a teacher guides a group of 3-year-olds completely in Chinese. This is just a language summer camp run by the primary school Bilingual Buds, which offers a year-round course in Chinese as well as Spanish for kids as young as 2.

A lot of research now shows the regular, high-level use of more than one language may actually improve early brain development. Knowing two or more languages can improve the ability to focus, decide and deal with information better. These important skills are grouped together, known in brain terms as “executive function”. The research suggests they develop ahead of time in bilingual children, and are already evident in kids as young as 3 or 4. Bilingual education, common in many countries, is a growing trend across the United States, with 440 elementary schools offering the study in Spanish, Chinese and French.

But Tamar Gollan, a professor at the University of California, has found a vocabulary gap between children who speak only one language and those who grow up with more. On average, the more language spoken, the smaller the vocabulary in each one. Gollan’s research suggests that while that gap narrows as children grow, it does not disappear completely. Gollan says, “Vocabulary tests help us find that bilinguals have the disadvantage, where you know the word but you just can’t get it out.”

In fact some of the values of bilingualism can’t be measured at all, of course. To speak more than one language is to open the mind to more than one culture or way of life.

Bilinguals also appear to be better at learning other new languages. Clarisse spent her early childhood in Switzerland speaking French. At 6, she learned English. Later she learned Spanish, German, and, during three years living in Tokyo, Japanese. Now she has easily mastered several languages.

1.Why should children learn more than one language according to Paragraph 2?

A. Because it can do good to children’s brain development.

B. Because it’s part of a language summer camp.

C. Because it is common in many countries.

D. Because it is popular with children.

2.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _________.

A. many countries

B. bilingual children

C. these important skills

D. two or more languages

3.According to Tamar Gollan, __________.

A. knowing two or more languages can improve children’s skills

B. the more languages children know, the better they will be

C. children had better not take vocabulary tests

D. bilingual education is not always good to children

4. From the passage we can learn_________.

A. Clarisse likes French best instead of Japanese

B. bilingual education is mainly loved by children

C. bilinguals can have a disadvantage in learning other new languages

D. knowing more languages can help children learn more about foreign cultures

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2016屆江西上高縣二中高三4月半月考（二）英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：聽力第三部分

Imagine the following scenario (情形): A woman buys her lunch every day from a fast food outlet near her job. After some years, she finds herself 30 pounds overweight, and feeling unhealthy. So what does she do? She chooses to bring a lawsuit against the fast food outlet, aiming that the food served there was the cause of her being overweight and in poor health. Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? The only thing more absurd than the story itself is the fact: that is not fiction. There are people who have sued fast food chains for causing their weight problems.

This is an example of one of the ways in which many of us spend enormous amounts of energy trying to deny the undeniable and universal fact that we are all ultimately responsible for our own choices and our own lives.

How much easier would we make it for ourselves if we could accept this fact rather than resist it? But how can you embrace the truth, that we are living the lives we choose to live, that we are enjoying or suffering the consequences (結(jié)果；后果) of our own choices, and that blaming others for our problems and shortcomings is nothing more than a comfortable fantasy?

We must acknowledge the truth of our lives, however unpleasant this may be.If we are overweight, in a bad relationship, in a dead end job, we need to accept that this is where we are, at this moment in time.

Imagine that woman decided that she was unhappy with the extra pounds she'd gained after many years of eating fast food on a regular basis. Imagine that this woman took the time to really understand and accept that no one else was responsible for her eating choices. Having acknowledged this fact, she then decides to make the changes in her lifestyle to become the healthier, slimmer person she wants to be.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Be Responsible for Our Own Choices

B. Overcome the Challenges in Our Life

C. Acknowledge the Truth Rather than Deny It

D. More than a Comfortable Fantasy

2.Why is the woman mentioned twice in the passage?

A. To show the right way of dealing with weight problems.

B. To describe a familiar scenery in life.

C. To give support to the author's viewpoint.

D. To compare the consequences of different choices.

3.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Fast food chains contribute little to people's overweight problems actually.

B. Fast food outlets are responsible for many people to become overweight.

C. Many people tend to blame others for their own problems.

D. The author himself is a supporter of fast food chains.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2016屆廣東省深圳市高三第二次調(diào)研考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures（核心體溫）in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity（濕度）.

In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia（低體溫）, which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.

In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.

1.Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?

A．Because their bodies are unusually efficient.

B．Because they experience different climates.

C．Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.

D．Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.

2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?

A．The dangerous effects of hypothermia.

B．The change of body temperature.

C．The survival of the Swedish woman.

D．The regulating systems of natural temperature.

3.People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature .

A．higher than 34.4°C B．lower than 29.4°C

C．between 40.6-41.7°C D．between 34.4-37°C

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A．Surviving in an ice trap

B．Getting to know hypothermia

C．Adapting to climate extremes

D．Changing core body temperature
