    科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：阅读理解

    3．Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining how difficult it was to study English．No surprises there．It is a difficult language to master，just like Chinese．I made a few suggestions based on my experience．One involved a very valuable fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher，Dr．Smith．He is a gifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to remember things，like poetry，essays，speeches，etc．His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes，there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more acceptable than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes．
    This 40-minute"super memory"period is divided into two parts：the 20 minutes before we sleep，and the 20 minutes after we first awake．The theory supporting this is pretty simple．First，the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than information gained during the noisy daytime； and second，our mind is free of disturbance（干扰） when we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs，like a blank slate（石板）．
    I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years．In my university days，our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day，on which we would be quizzed（测试）the following day．Without the"magic"40-minute technique，there's no way I would have passed those daily quizzes．
    As far as language study goes，it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary．It's also a very useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise，and even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand．It might be audio（声音的）language study，aids，or just radio，TV or whatever．
    Beyond our years of formal（正式的） education，memory skills are hugely important in any career．How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from a prepared text，or read the word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide（投影片）？These are annoying，boring，and less effective ways of communicating．They are almost guaranteed（保证） to lose the audience's close attention and interest，let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything．And yet lots of people still make this mistake．
    If we use the 40-minute technique，we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation content on a 100% word-by-word basis，but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much more time making eye contact with our audience．We will get them in the process，while looking at our text instead of staring at it．This will also free up our hands and arms to convey some extra messages through gesture．
    As you see，the technique really works，but like many things，it takes practice to perfect it．Therefore，we'd better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom，as regularly and frequently as possible．One basic rule of language learning is，"Use it，or lose it•"
    Seize the forty-minute learning window and we'll bring in a rich harvest of language learning．
    32．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？C
    A．Dr．Smith is born with the great ability to memorize things．
    B．It is surprising that English is as difficult to master as Chinese．
    C．The author's high school Latin and Greek teacher has a positive influence on him．
    D．The author made a few suggestions on learning English based on his teacher's experience．
    33．The author's teacher suggested the 40-minute"super memory"period partly becauseD．
    A．it is less noisy in the forty minutes than in the daytime
    B．we are always more peaceful when we awake in the morning
    C．our brain is more active in the forty minutes than the other time
    D．the last information gained before bed is more likely to remain
    34．We can learn from the passage that the 40-minute techniqueC．
    A．ensures that we understand the difficult language
    B．helps a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text
    C．helps the author pass those daily quizzes in his university days
    D．makes a speaker remember the presentation content completely
    35．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？C
    A．The Best Way to Learn English
    B．The Importance of Memory Skills
    C．The"Magic"40-Minute Technique
    D．My Advice on Learning English．

    1．A scanner is recently created by a group of professors．It is believed to predict the perfect job for anyone simply by reading their fingerprints．The group says that in the future，fingerprints could help tell a person's key personalities．
    To use the scanner，people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected with sensors （传感器） reads back what sort of job could suit the individual．The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how fingerprint shapes connect with job selection．
    Local companies help researchers from the city's Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology．
    Twenty-one-year-old Oscar Galkin，a mathematics graduate，said："I got the result from the scanner that I would suit a job in IT，which is exactly what I want to do．I don't know if it is luck or if it can really read a person's talents，but it worked for me．"
    And Zara Tokareva，aged 20，who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood，said："I want to be a house designer but the machine said I should be a nurse．So，no，I don't think it is as clever as expected．"
    Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering，it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used，say experts，from discovering drug misuse to personality analysis-exactly as hand readers have been saying to do for centuries．
    "The basic idea is that although everybody's fingerprints are completely different，there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs，"said researcher Ravil Yudin．
    It's not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying for hundreds of years that you can tell a person's future by reading their hands．We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose．

    33．From the text we know that the fingerprint scannerA．
    A．matches fingerprints with jobs
    B．tells people's personality
    C．helps collect job information
    D．reads individual's mind
    34．What can we learn from what Ravil Yudin said？B
    A．The fingerprint scanner is based on a new idea．
    B．Cerain people's fingers actually have something in common．
    C．Telling one's future by reading his hands started a few years ago．
    D．The technology of fingerprint identification can be used in many fields．
    35．What is the main idea of the passage？C
    A．Hand readers are widely used in life．
    B．A fingerprint scanner could tell a person's personality．
    C．A fingerprint scanner could predict a person's job．
    D．A fingerprint scanner could be used in crime discovering．

    2．Harper Lee，whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south，has died at the age of 89．
    Until last year，Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend．To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize，remaining a towering presence in American literature．Another novel，Go Set a Watchman，was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird，though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft．
    But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success，the author consistently avoided public attention．Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville，Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book．Her neighbor for 40 years，Sue Sellers，said，"She was such a private person．All she wanted was privacy，but she didn't get much．There was always somebody following her around．"
    James Naughtie，BBC Books Editor，commented on the novels of Harper Lee："I think she stands，particularly among American readers，as someone who shone a light into a very dark place．She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand．That all changed in the 1960s．So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain．"
    24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean？C
    A．Lee became successful with stories on American south．
    B．People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree．
    C．Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature．
    D．Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies．
    25．What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to？C
    A．A nursing home．
    B．Lee's hometown．
    C．A fictional place．
    D．A main character．
    26．Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s？B
    A．Tolerant．
    B．Unconcerned．
    C．Sympathetic．
    D．Dissatisfied．
    27．What can we learn from the text？C
    A．Lee based all her stories on her life．
    B．Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans．
    C．Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird．
    D．Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life．

    19．Who made your T-shirt？"A Geowetown University student raised that question．Pietra Rivoli，a professor of business，wanted to find the answer．A few weeks later，she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton form to Chinese factory to charity bin （箱）．The result is an interesting new book，The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy．
    Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting，but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade．She goes wherever the T-shirt goes，and there are surprises around every corner．In China，Rivoli shows why a clothing factory，even with its poor conditions，means a step toward a better life for the people who work there．In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania，she realizes this，"it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market，"where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color．Rivoli's book is full of memerable people and scenes，like the noise，the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell of the cotton．"She says，"Here in the factory，Shanghai smells like Shallowater Texas．"
    Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections．She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization．The chances opened up by trade are vast，she argues，but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check．True economic progress needs them both．

    A．She used to work on a cotton farm．
    B．She wrote a book about world trade．

    C．prices of T-shirt rise and fall frequently

    20．If your job invo1ves standing for several hours at a time，then this innovative（创新的）    Archelis chair is just the product you've been waiting for．The strap-on wearable chair    effectively enables you sit while you're standing．
    Technically，Archelis isn't really a chair．It's more like a leg brace that wraps around your buttocks and 1egs，helping you choose a stance（站姿）that's more comfortable than standing upright．You can lock the device at various positions to adjust the angle of you ankle and knee joints．Once you select the position of your choice，you'11experience the relaxation of sitting without actually being seated．The device distributes the pressure over your shin and thigh，reducing overall muscle and joint fatigue．
    Archelis is made entirely of carbon parts，which are flexible and comfortable for use over    1ong periods of time．It does not require batteries or power too perate．It was originally developed to help surgeons rest their legs while performing long surgeries，but it is also expected to appeal to people in other professions like teaching，hospitality，or factory work．
    Developed by Nitto，a Japanese company that makes all kinds of model，in cooperation  with Chiba university's Center for Frontier Medical Engineering，Hiroaki Nishimura Design，and Japan Polymer Technology，the product is still in development and is expetcted to hit the market later this year．
    The concept of wearable chair isn't entirely new．In fact，Swiss start-up Noonee also has a similar concept called Chairless Chair，a hydraulic（水力的）powered device that provides lower body support to people who have to stand upright for long periods of time．Archelis looks much cooler，though．
    28．What does Paragraph 2mainly tell us about Archelis？B
    A．What it looks like．    
    B．How it works．
    C．When it is most effective．

    29．Which of the following best describes Archelis？A
    A．F1exible and comfortable．    
    B．New and expensive
    C．Wearable and inconvenient．
    D．Innovative and productive
    30．In what aspect is Archelis similar to Chairless Chair？D
    A．Neither of them is coo1．
    B．They are both operated by electricity．
    C．They are only developed for use in hospital．
    D．Thev help you relax while standing．
    31．What can be inferred from the text？C
    A．Chairless Chair is more comfortable．
    B．The idea of Archelis is first created．
    C．Archelis hasn't been put into production．
    D．Archelis will be practical in every field．
