　　(2015·苏州高三调研)Silk production has a long and colourful history unknown to most people.Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production existed in China from around 2500 B．C.，although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone revealing the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished by death.

　　At one time silk was reserved only for the Chinese emperor. Gradually, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk came to have industrial uses in ancient China, something that happened in the West only in modern times. Silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, weapons, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money. Farmers paid taxes in both rice and silk. The prices of goods were calculated in lengths of silk just as they had once been calculated in gold. The importance of silk is even reflected in the Chinese language. For example, of the 5,000 most common Chinese characters, around 500 have silk as their “key”．

　　In spite of their secrecy, the Chinese eventually lost their monopoly on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B. C. when immigrants from China arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A. D. It was not until 500 A. D. that silk production came to Europe when travellers smuggled_out silkworms in hollow tubes of bamboo. These were used to establish silk industry in Rome (modern­day Italy), although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.

　　Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. The land route in particular had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods — silver, gold, jade, porcelain — passed along this road. Ideas travelled the Silk Road too. For example, the religion of Buddhism was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, exposing many people to the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.

　　1．How was China able to keep the secret of silk production?

　　A．It refused to sell its silk to other countries.

　　B．Foreigners were not permitted to enter China.

　　C．The silkworms needed were not able to survive outside China.

　　D．Chinese passing on the secret to foreigners were seriously punished.

　　2．Which of the following uses of silk is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A．A way of purchasing goods people sold.

　　B．A material used for making different products.

　　C．A method of paying money to the government.

　　D．A valuable gift given to foreigners travelling in China.

　　3．In what order did silk production spread throughout the world according to the passage?

　　A．Europe→India→Korea→China.

　　B．China→Korea→India→Europe.

　　C．China→India→Korea→Europe.

　　D．China→Europe→India→Korea.

　　4．The underlined phrase “smuggled out” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．quietly traded　B．openly removed

　　(2015·南通第三次调研)Trying to recover from a devastating economic crisis, Spain is considering moving the country?s clock back by one hour.

　　Many people regard long afternoon naps and late dinners as perfect aspects of the Spanish way of life. Until the 1940s, Spain was on the same time as Britain and Portugal.

　　In World War Ⅱ， Spain and Portugal moved the clocks forward to align them with Nazi Germany. The same happened in Portugal.

　　After the defeat of Hitler, Portugal returned to Greenwich Mean Time, but Spain did not.

　　“The fact that for more than 71 years Spain has not been in its proper time zone means we sleep almost an hour less than the World Health Organization recommends，” lawmakers in the Spanish Parliament wrote in a proposal. “This has a negative effect on productivity, absenteeism，stress, accidents and school drop­out rates.”

　　Last September, a parliamentary commission recommended that the government turn back the clocks by one hour and introduce a regular eight­hour workday.

　　For the time being, the Spanish government is treating the campaign seriously but it hasn’t taken any action yet.

　　Spain’s time zone issue explains why everything in Spain happens later, from meal times to broadcast entertainment (primetime doesn’t start until 10 pm)．Many urban Spaniards complain of a never­ending workday that begins in the morning but is interrupted by a traditional late­morning break and then again by the midday siesta — a two­hour long lunch and nap that usually start at 2 pm. If workers return to their desks at 4 pm, they end up working late into the evening.

　　Under the proposed new schedule, the lunchtime break would be cut to an hour or less. The interruption­filled Spanish workday would be replaced by something closer to a 9­to­5 schedule.Ignacio Buqueras, president of the Association for the Rationalization of Spanish Working Hours，told The New York Times that changing the Spanish schedule would be good news for working mothers. It would also allow families more free time together and boost Spain’s economic recovery.

　　Maria Angles Duran, a sociologist with the Spanish National Research Council, is skeptical that changing the time zone will reverse low productivity, which she attributes more to the structure of the service­oriented economy. But she agreed that a more normal work schedule would help women, who often complain that their husbands deliberately schedule meetings in the early evening.

　　“For men, this is perfect，” Duran said，“They arrive home and the children have already had their baths! Timetables can be used as a sort of weapon. ”

　　6．Spain is thinking about changing the current time system because ________.

　　A．Spain is eager to improve its economic competitiveness

　　B．it is urgent to increase sleeping hours for Spaniards

　　C．Spanish schools suffer from high drop­out rates

　　D．71 years has passed since Spain was ruled by Nazi

　　7．We can learn from the passage that ________.

　　A．an eight­hour workday is soon to be put into practice in Spain

　　B．people are used to working late into the evening in Spain

　　C．heavy workloads require a two­hour nap for working people

　　D．the current workday pattern does not win much favor among city workers

　　8．According to the passage, Duran may agree with the following except that ________.

　　A．the new schedule will allow families more free time

　　B．women will probably benefit from the new schedule

　　C．economic structure influences economic performance

　　D．men can escape housework in the existing schedule

　　9．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Lifestyle changes in Spain

　　B．Time for Spain to turn back

　　C．Spain’s time zone issues

　　D．Spains work hour regulation

　　 答

　　案

　　Ⅰ.1.选B　句意：到七月底，在过去的一年里，房价上涨了12.4%，彻底毁了他想买一个更舒服一点的房子的计划。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。

　　2．选C　句意：学生们建议在教师节的时候把我们学校装饰得五彩缤纷。suggest后接宾语从句时，从句要用“(should) do”形式的虚拟语气，此处宾语从句的主语是“学校”，应该用被动语态。

　　3．选D　句意：毫无疑问，花太多的时间上网或者看电视是近视的原因之一，这在许多国家的年轻人中是个严重的问题。空处引导同位语从句，解释抽象名词doubt，且在从句中不作成分，故用that。

　　4．选A　句意：根据车子的数量来判断，他认为俱乐部里还没有多少人。judging from 是固定短语，表示“根据……来判断”。

　　5．选C　句意：从死者尸体所显示的症状来看，他一定是被某种化学物质毒死的，但是我说不准是哪一种化学物质。根据语境可知，说话人的语气是非常有把握的，故用must have done结构，表示对过去事情的肯定的推测。

　　6．选B　句意：据报道，到目前为止，纽约的许多房屋都已被暴雪毁坏掉了。根据句中so far这一时间状语，可知句子用现在完成时，many a 修饰可数名词单数，谓语动词用单数，再结合句意可知用被动语态。

　　7．选C　句意：东南亚的国家已逐渐熟悉了中国的一些品牌，但是还有很长的路要走。gradually“逐渐地”，符合句意。instantly“立刻”；actually“实际上”；frequently“频繁地”。

　　8．选B　句意：当这对夫妻年老的时候，他们唯一的孩子肯定会接管他们的大企业。hand over“移交”；take over“接管”；go over“仔细检查”；get over“克服”。

　　9．选B　句意：有一些问题尚待解决，因此我们还需尽快再召开一次会议。句中several problems 与remain之间存在逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词形式，此处remaining在with复合结构中作宾语补足语。

　　10．选A　句意：大多数中国人认为很有必要存钱养老。此处考查have sth. done结构，put away是过去分词短语作宾补。

　　11．选A　介词of后用动名词作宾语，there be的动名词复合结构是there being。注意there be的动名词复合结构与独立主格结构在形式上相同，但用法不同。

　　12．选A　句意：在语言学习过程中，根据语境使用单词或短语对我们来说很重要。situation“情况，形势”；expression“表达”；comprehension“理解”；translation“翻译”。

　　15．选D　句意：“不知我可不可以用一下你的手机？”“请用吧。它就在你身边的桌子上。”根据答语可知答话人同意问话人用手机。be my guest“请便”；no way“没门，不可以”；thats right“是那样，对”；its a pleasure“很荣幸”，多用于答应别人的邀请。
