(2015·南京市高三三模，B)
Do I Exist?
Obviously!
Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century，everyone assumed that we exited.Obviously.The fact seemed so mindblowingly obvious that it wasn’t really discussed.We could see ourselves in the mirror，we could feel pain and pleasure，we could think thoughts for ourselves and，more importantly，perhaps，all the world’s main religions assumed that we do exist.So we exist.
No，you don’t!
You don’t exist.That’s because it’s impossible to show once and for all that you do.There’s no proof.You might think you exist—that you are sitting at a table reading this book，for instance—but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true？There’s no experiment that could prove it.Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think，this isn’t actually，according to the British philosopher A．J.Ayer.Just because we know that we are thinking，this doesn’t mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking.It just shows that the thoughts are happening，not that anyone is having them.Thoughts exists，“You” don’t.
________！
What a waste of time this question is.Although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not，it doesn’t get you anywhere.Unless you forget about this unanswerable question，you’ll be stuck thinking about it forever，and that isn’t of any use to anyone.Move on.Think about something more important！This very roughly，is the view of almost all philosophers，who prefer to answer other，apparently more useful，questions.
Yes，but...
You exist，but not in the way you might think.According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes，you can’t show that anything exists—apart from your own self.The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another，but the facts you’re having thoughts show that there might be something (that’s you) having them.This let Descartes write the famous philosophical phrase，“I think，therefore，I am”．
16．Which of the following can be the missing heading?
A．Forget about it
B．What a ridiculous point
C．Think about it
D．What a pointless question
17．This passage is anything but a(n) ________.
A．comment
B．discussion
C．argument
D．debate
18．The famous answer to the question “Do I Exist？” is ________.
A．No，you don’t exist.
B．I think，therefore，I am.
C．Yes，you do exist.
D．It won’t get you anywhere
B
My late(已故的) father was a great believer in reading newspapers the first thing in the morning，a habit he passed down to me.
Every day，I need news，features and comics，along with the smell of printing ink，with breakfast，even if I have searched the Internet earlier in the morning.When I sit down to eat my bread，the newspaper has to be there.When it is late，my wife says I look lost.
Some need coffee in the morning.I need the newspaper，except when I’m on vacation.Then，I trade the_routine for coffee，unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.
However，the sword of Damocles(达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routine—a day may come when there won’t even be a newspaper.My younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go.Maybe not in five or ten years，maybe it will take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.
My younger friends rarely read the print media these days.They want their news either onscreen or in a cool，small package they can take anywhere and read at any time.The iPad and other similar gadgets(小玩意儿) will change our lives，I’m told.Even ebook readers，after a bad start，appear to be back on track because of the iPad.
They insist we’re now in the twilight(衰退期) of the newspaper business and the iPad may help to end it.Such a future is not something I like.Sure，there’s the Internet but it’s just not the same.
So here’s a little exercise for those who don’t want to read the newspapers any more.Buy one，find a quiet corner at home and spare an hour without distractions.Turn off your mobile phone，TV and PC，and lock up your wife，kids and pets.Start reading，from the first page to the last，and all the different sections and advertisements.When you reach the last page，you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.
19．According to the text，the author looks lost when ________.
A．he smells printing ink and breakfast
B．his father asked him to read newspapers
C．he hasn’t searched the Internet in the morning
D．the newspaper doesn’t come on time
20．The underlined part “the routine” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”．
A．reading the newspaper
B．surfing the Internet
C．eating bread for breakfast
D．hanging a newspaper on the door
21．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．It is unnecessary to read every part of a newspaper.
B．Reading newspapers is a good way to kill time.
C．Reading newspapers is a great experience.
D．A quiet place is important for reading newspapers.
22．Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A．He used to read newspapers in the morning.
B．He never searches the Internet in the morning before breakfast.
C．He was influenced by his father to form the habit of reading the newspaper.
D．He thinks the Internet is the same as print media because both can give him information.

答案精析
题型组合练(九)
Ⅰ.1.B [考查名词辨析。句意为：你会发现这张英语地图在帮助你旅行巴黎方面很有价值。price价格；value价值；cost成本，费用；worth值。of great value＝valuable有价值的。故选B。]
2．A [考查冠词。句意为：——你最后一次见到你的启蒙老师是什么时候？——在去年六月份的一个周五，她教学四十周年的庆祝会上。在一个周五，表示泛指，“某一个”，应用a；第二空是特指庆祝会，应用定冠词the。故选A。]
3．A [考查副词。本题中的better是比较级，四个选项中，A、C两项可以修饰比较级，排除B、D。句意为：——你知道Tom已经病了好几天了。——是的，不知道他好些了没有。根据句意可知A项正确。]
4．B [考查副词辨析。句意为：昨天的雾很大，因此所有的航班都取消了。constantly不断地，持续地；consequently因此，结果；continuously连续不断地；consistently一贯地，一致地。根据句意可知选B。]
5．C [考查状语从句。句意为：生活是用来享受的。除非你得到更好的东西，否则放弃你喜欢的东西是毫无意义的。unless除非，引导条件状语从句，符合句意。]
6．D [考查状语从句。句意为：直到两年前在情人节遇到Daniel，我才相信一见钟情。when当……时候；unless除非；if如果；before在……前。before的翻译比较灵活，这里翻译成“直到”，故答案为D项。]
7．D [考查时态和语态。句意为：Tom把车送到了维修点，因为它严重损坏了。损坏的动作在送修理厂之前，用过去完成时，同时是被损坏，用被动语态。故选D。]
8．C [考查非谓语动词。句意为：没有存够足够的钱，这个年轻人不能给女朋友买昂贵的珠宝。save的逻辑主语与主句主语一致，且发生在主句谓语动作之前，故用现在分词的完成时，否定词not提前。故选C。]
9．C [考查it用法。句意为：据说养花可以提高精神，滋养心灵，还可以净化空气。It is said that...，意为“据说……”。句型中it作形式主语，真正主语为that后的从句。]
10．A [考查定语从句。句意为：在天津，那里的经济是中国增长最快的地区之一，越来越多的人选择出国旅游。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Tianjin，定语从句中缺少地点状语，应用where引导定语从句。故答案为A项。]
11．D [句意为：传统上，中国人民重视吃苦的好品质和毫无怨言地忍受苦难的能力。hold on to坚守不放弃；live up to不辜负；break away from摆脱；put up with忍受。故选D。]
12．D [句意为：对于我们来说，不论生活会给我们带来什么；我们每一个人都应该有个一生的计划，并且这个计划就是我们作为人的自身发展计划。wherever无论哪里；whichever无论哪一个；however无论如何；whatever无论什么。故选D。]
13．C [考查非谓语动词。句意为：如果下个月底将建成的新机场项目被推迟的话，建筑公司将被罚款。分析句子可知if条件句中的谓语是is delayed，需要填的是非谓语动词，因为是下个月将被完成，用不定式的被动形式作定语。故答案为C。]
14．B [考查表语从句。句意为：《牡丹亭》是汤显祖写的戏剧，被很多人认为是中国文学中最浪漫的故事。is后是表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，故用what引导。]
15．C [考查情态动词。句意为：——那么好的运动员竟然没被选中参加比赛，不是很让人吃惊吗？——是的，但这就是生活。should竟然，符合题意。]
Ⅱ.16.D [推理判断题。根据文章该部分的内容，特别是第一句话“What a waste of time this question is.”可知这是一个毫无意义的问题，故选D。]
17．A [推理判断题。comment评论；discussion讨论；argument争论；debate争论。根据题干关键词anything but绝不是，通读全文，根据文章的这几部分可知这是一场辩论性质的议论文，不是评论。故选A。]
18．B [细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“This let Descartes write the famous philosophical phrase，‘I think，therefore，I am.’”可知该问题“我存在吗？”的答案是“我思故我在”。故选B。]
19．D [细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，作者吃早饭的时候必须有报纸摆在那里，如果报纸送来晚了，他就会不知所措。]
20．A [词义猜测题。根据该词前面的内容可知，看报纸是作者的日常习惯，再结合该词所在句子的内容：如果宾馆房间的门上没有报纸的话，我才会把这个惯例换为喝咖啡，所以这个惯例指的是读报纸。]
21．C [段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，本段主要描述了一个读报纸的活动，整个过程在作者看来令人放松而愉悦，这种体验不是现代化的传媒工具所能给予的，故选C项。]
22．C [细节理解题。通读全文可知，作者一直保持早上读报的习惯，现在也仍然继续这一习惯，故A项错误；由第二段第一句可知，B项错误；由第一段可知，C项正确；由第六段末句可知，D项错误。故选C项。]
Ⅲ.参考范文
The_over_exploitation_of_World_Heritage_sites_has_raised_public_concern.As is shown in the cartoon，the World Heritage sites are overcrowded with large groups of tourists pushing，taking photos，or even spitting，smoking and scribbling everywhere，which has caused great damage to these historic buildings.
One of the contributing factors of this phenomenon is that the local government is pushing too hard for the development of tourism，ignoring damage prevention and educational function of the sites.Moreover，some selfcentered tourists are uncivilized in public places，ignorant of the historical and cultural value of the sites.
From my point of view，the original purpose of setting up World Heritage sites is to help preserve history so that people will be able to enjoy it for generations to come.I suggest both the government and the public should be aware that the best form of conservation is the prevention of damage and committees should be established to undertake important educational work.
