Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn't study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.

Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it deeply. I stretched (伸展)my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle(奇跡) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered(吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!

Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you'll find life is very charming. So, let's enjoy life from now on.

A. The writer rose immediately after the clock went off.

3.What does the underlined sentence “The seeing see little” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Those who go out only see little things.

B. Those who can see enjoy nature much more than the blind.

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. “We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long?term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”

Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

“As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid，” Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the PH down, and makes it more acidic.”

The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.

The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

“It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic.”

1.What can be the best title of the passage?

A．Climate Change Affecting Seawater

B．Oceans Becoming More Acidic

C．Sea Life Facing Danger

D．Scientist Researching Seawater

2.With the increase of atmospheric CO2，________.

A．the surface water is becoming warmer

B．more corals will appear in the sea

C．the PH of the ocean out here has been increasing

D．the chemical balance of the seawater is affected

3.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?

a．Sea life is endangered.

b．CO2 goes into the surface water.

c．The ocean chemistry is affected.

d．CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic.

e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.

A．a(chǎn)→e→b→c→d B．e→d→c→b→a

C．e→b→c→d→a D．a(chǎn)→b→c→d→e

One hot night last August, I tried everything I could think of — toys, songs etc. to make him fall into sleep, but he just couldn’t do it. Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed(躡手躡腳地行進) out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. I heard no more of the baby’s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s behavior(行為) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！

1. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son’s room?

A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.

B. To help himself pass the long hours ahead of him.

C. To help his son fall asleep sooner.

D. To keep his son from making noises.

2.The baby seemed to be ______ at the sight of the TV set.

A. excited B. surprised C. bored D. pleased

3.This experience with his baby helped the father ______.

A. to know his baby better

B. to know better how to educate his students

C. to change his opinions towards TV

D. to know better about the new generation

科目：高中英語 來源：2015年江蘇南京鹽城兩市高三一�？荚囉⒄Z試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．
She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries．
Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only-child upbringing．
She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．
Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．
However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．
1.The passage is written with the purpose of ________．
A． illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B． analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C． presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D． guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？
A． Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．
B． All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．
C． Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．
D． People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．
3.From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．
A． journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B． she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction
C． it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D． some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
4.What can be inferred from the passage？
A． It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．
B． Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．
C． Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．
D． Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．

科目：高中英語 來源：2015年廣東茂名高三模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．

About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威脅） business．

"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．

Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，F(xiàn)ull Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（創(chuàng)新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．

Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．

"Aesthetics(美學) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．

Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．

1.According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．

A． skill shortages could threaten business

B． engineering graduates are not as creative as expected

C． there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．

D． the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

2.According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth，_______ ．

A． engineers should cooperate with arts majors

B． Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering

C． engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work

D． engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before

3.By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．

A． stress the importance of arts

B． stress the importance of marketing

C． stress the importance of communication

D． stress the importance of science and technology

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A． More university students should study arts instead of engineering．

B． Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．

C． The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．

D． Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A． Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．

B． The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．

C． University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．

D． Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．
