The first enemy we face is indecision(優(yōu)柔寡斷). Indecision is the thief of opportunity. _2.__ Take a sword to this enemy.

The second enemy inside is doubt. __3._ But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves. I’m telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. _4._

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. __5.__ Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆吉林東北師大附中高三上模擬3英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

An environment group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reaches Western customers. “Transporting water half-way across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.” It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).

Counting the number of miles traveled by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy-efficient. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market does not necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea, Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.

What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.

1.The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that .

A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products

B. some imported goods cause environmental damage

C. growing certain vegetables damages the environment

D. people waste energy buying food from other countries

2.The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance .

A. that a food product travels to a market

B. that a food product travels from one market to another

C. between UK and other food producing countries

D. between a Third World country and a First World food market

3.By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that .

A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones

B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than British ones

C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel

D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money

4.From the passage we know that the author is most probably .

A. a supporter of free global trade

B. a member of the Food Commission

C. a supporter of First World food markets

D. a member of an energy development group

Mars( 火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. "It suggests that. it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.

The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. "What we're dealing with is wet soil. thin layers of wet soil, not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson ! the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.

Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.

The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.

The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(條痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.

Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.

The source(源頭) of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere, Or it may be a combination.

Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth - something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.

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

A Streams of Water Spotted on Mars

B. Astronauts will Land on Mars

C. NASA's Mars Exploration Program

D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars

2.According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.

A. salty water

B. standing water

C. rocket fuel

D. human beings

3.Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars.

A. state

B. source

C. temperature

D. taste

4.What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?

A. The distance from the sun.

B. The favorable climate.

C. The gravity of the earth

D.The salt in it.

C

Dreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. No one knows for certain why people dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time(打盹時的) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.

In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (迷宮). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried --- making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.

For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dream after sleep---and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.

Stickgold, a neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家), wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during sleep.

Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.

Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn --- it’s the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processed associated with learning.

All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn’t take a nap, didn’t show the same improvement.

1.Before having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to ___________.

A. stay in different place in the maze

B. design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through

C. experience the experiment and try to remember something

D. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place

2.After doing what they were asked on computers, participants ___________.

A. were divided into two groups to do different things at break

B. were so tired as to fall asleep

C. felt bored with the experiment and they were sleepy

D. were asked to remember their experiment separately

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Participants who took a nap were required to express their thought.

B. Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.

C. Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.

D. Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.

4.According to Stickgold, ____________.

A. every person may dream about what they learned

B. people’s brain processes may still be connected with their learning in their dreams

C. once people’s eyes stop moving, they are sued to dream about something

D. no matter fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with peoples life

5.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. Strange Dreams

B. Stickgold, a Dream Expert

C. Dreaming Makes Better

D. Not All Dreams Are True

Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression(臨床抑郁癥). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.

Doctors use the word clinical depression to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(倉鼠)to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson, at Ohio State University, says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep interruptions at all but they did mess up biological clock (生物鐘) genes and they did show depressive sign but if they were in the dim red light, they did not.” He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

1. From the text we know that ________ made the hamster feel depressed.

A. the amount of the water

B. the colour of the light

C. the loss of pleasure

D. the level of energy

2. What was the purpose of the experiment on hamsters?

A. To show how well they slept.

B. To see how much sugary water they drank.

C. To explain why they liked dark colours.

D. To find out what caused the depression on them.

3.The author explains the clinical depression by _________.

A. reporting an experiment process

B. presenting research data

C. setting down general rules

D. giving his own experience

4.Where can we probably find the text?

A. In a science magazine.

B. In a physics textbook

C. In a tourist guidebook.

D. In an official announcement.
