   Culture helps human societies survive in changing natural environment. For example, the end of the last Ice Age, be?ginning about 15，000 years ago, brought a big challenge to which humans had to adapt. Before this time, large parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in great sheets of ice that contained much of the earth's water. In North America, large animals that wandered the vast tundra (笞原)provided people with food and materials for clothing and simple shel?ters. When the earth became warm, large Ice Age animals disappeared, and many land areas were covered by the rising sea level from melting ice. But people survived. They devel?oped new technologies and learned how to survive on new plant and animal species. Finally some people settled into permanent villages, durable houses and farms.

Cultural adaptation has made humans one of the most successful species on the planet. Through history, major de?velopments in technology, medicine, and nutrition have al?lowed people to reproduce and survive in ever-increasing num?bers. The global population has risen from 8 million during the Ice Age to about 6 billion today.

However, the success of cultural adaptation can also cre?ate problems in the long run. Over the last 200 years, people have begun to use large quantities of natural resources and en?ergy and to produce a great amount of material and chemical wastes. The global population now consumes some important natural resources—such as petroleum, wood, and minerals― faster than nature can produce them. Many scientists believe that in the process of burning fuels and producing wastes, people may be changing the global climate in unpredictable and possibly harmful ways. Thus, the adaptive success of the present-day global culture of production and trade may be temporary.

 A.     A very developed culture came into being.

B.     New technologies have been developed.

C.     Natural resources have been used up.

D.     Human activities have done damage to the balance of nature.

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

 A.     Natural environment should be protected

B [2015 •長(zhǎng)春市普通高中高三質(zhì)置檢測(cè)〗

When I asked my mother-in-law to select which meals she'd like me to order from the home-delivery menu, she only chose the ones her husband would like. This goes way beyond politeness. She is actually feeling uncomfortable voicing what she wants. She developed the main symptom of Asker's Syn?drome that one's unable to ask for what one wants.

It's not just older women who have this problem. Asker's Syndrome can strike the young. I have single friends who won't ask a man out on a date because they fear being considered too " forward". My five-year-old daughter Violet is showing the early stage of Asker's Syndrome. She's learned that women don't ask, but rather drop hints. She'll say, "Remember last Sunday afternoon we went to the park?" rather than "Can we go to the park?"

Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite, food and dating, it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and pro?motions. Instead, they withdraw, hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.

No doubt, many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure because they've been labelled as pushy or rude for simply asking for what they want. But in the long term, choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.

It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's Syn?drome. I don't want to raise a future "burnt chop mother" who denies her wish for food, power and success and any?thing else. I insist that she ask for what she wants directly.

For women in our culture, asking is a skill that we need to learn and practise. And if we all do it* then women asking will become the norm rather than the exception.

5.The author's mother-in-law is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to_________ .

 

A.     introduce the old lady

B.     set an example

C.     talk about her illness

D.     lead in a topic

6.Which is TRUE about Asker's Syndrome according to the passage?

 

A.     It often causes problems with appetite and food.

B.     Older women develop more of its symptoms.

C.     More women suffer from it than men in their careers.

D.     It strikes only female victims as reported.

7.The author holds the view that ____________ .

 

A.     others decide whether we are worthy

B.     choosing not to ask is a protective measure

C.     asking for what is wanted is rude

D.     Asker's Syndrome should be cured

8.The passage is written to____________ .

 

A.     list symptoms of Asker's Syndrome

B.     encourage women to express their ideas

C.     explain the causes of refusing to ask

D.     suggest ways to ask for more

B [2015 '商丘高三一模]

As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free-form gestures―sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone一can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.

"All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye," said one of the researchers of the study. "With all the person?al information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary. ，， In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen? these gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template* the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.

The researchers carried out a create-test-retest experi?ment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. These gestures were cap?tured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture usijig information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favourable to use free-form gestures as passwords.

To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touch screens (觸摸屏)， attempt to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the ges?tures with enough accuracy. These gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.

Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyse the security and manage?ment of free-form passwords in thefuture. They believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords. They willsoonpublish their findings.

5.What can we learn about free-form gestures?

 

A.     They are improving mobile security in a way.

B.     Users will have to make use of simple gestures.

C.     They will never be copied by others.

D.     Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.

6.The experiment in Paragraph 4 is to test the ______________  of

free-form gestures.

A. template                               B. application

C.  accuracy                            D. security

7.According   to   the  text,   the  researchers   think that


A.     it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye

B.     better ways of setting passwords should be developed

C.     people had better not use smart phones to pay bills

D.     personal information should not be stored in a phone

8.The main purpose of the text is to_____________ .

 

A.     advise people to use free-form gestures

B.     discuss whether smart phones are safe

C.     talk about the practicality of passwords

D.     introduce the study of a new password

Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery, partly be?cause it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard? or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't de?tect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Simi?larly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves ， nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vi?tal organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged  and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (輻射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1.According to the passage* the danger of nuclear

power lies in the     .

A.    nuclear mystery

B.    nuclear radiation

C.    radiation level

D.    radiation detection

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE of nu?clear radiation?

A.    It can do harm to human beings.

B.    It can be detected by human senses.

C.    It is just like common radio waves.

D.    It cannot do harm to human beings.

3.How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A.    By damaging its heart.

B.    By killing a few cells.

C.    By hitting any place in its body.

D.    By killing many cells in important organs.

4.Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?

A.    Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.

B.    The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.

C.    Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

D.    The importance of protection from radiation can not be overemphasized.
