If you are a fan of J．K Rowling and her Harry Potter book series, you may be fascinated with the idea of an invisible coat．You are not alone．Scientists have been working hard to produce a material which will make buildings as well as people invisible．Now a Canadian company claims to have succeeded with magical textile （） called "Quantum Stealth"．
British Columbia based on Hyperstealth Technology Corporation claims that the material makes its wearers completely invisible, even to people with night glasses．
Also, just like the young wizard's coat, it is light-weight and does not need cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors to operate．But best of all, it is cheap to make．
As to how it really works, the company keeps it a top secret．Besides stating that they have successfully managed to bend light waves, so that they go round the material instead of through it, the company is not giving out any details．What it does detail is all the good uses that Quantum Stealth could be put to-ranging from protecting US and Canadian soldiers forced to step into enemy region, to allowing special armed forces to carry out surprise attack without any fear of being seen．And if that is not enough they even imagine creating aircrafts and submarines （） that can go completely undetected．
To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its magical properties．For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to create the next generation "survival blanket" that could make the soldier invisible all at once! If this is indeed true, we have only one question: When will this magical fabric be
available to the rest of us?

【山东省日照市第一中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】
Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.
Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.
Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.
Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”
Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标).
“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”
24. What can we learn from the text?
A. Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary.
B. Mark used to be a thin, handsome boy.
C. Mark and Mary had been in love for years.
D. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car.
25. What does the underlined word “divert” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Replace.
B. Absorb.
C. Take.
D. Recover.
26. Why did Mary burst into laughter?
A. Because Mary played a trick on Mark.
B. Because their ride wasn’t well prepared.
C. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her.
D. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream.
27. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. Stuck on you. B. Unchanged love.
C. A hair trick.
D. A wonderful ride.

试题分析：本文是记叙文阅读，讲述来了久别重逢的Mark和Mary一起出去吃饭，Mary发现苍蝇一直黏再Mark的头发上，后来才知道Mark错把蝇胶当成了头油。
24. B 推理判断题。根据第二段2、3、4句His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all.可知Mark只是比以前胖了一点点。根据下文可知Mary愿意和他出去吃饭，说明Mary对他的印象很好。可知以前的Mark是一个瘦瘦的帅小伙。故B正确。
25. C 猜测词义题。根据后半句but she couldn’t help thinking about them.但是她情不自禁地还是想起他头上的那些苍蝇。说明She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies她打开收音机是想把注意力从苍蝇上分散掉。所以该词意为“take...away from...把...从...拿开”故C正确。
26. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”可知Mark错把蝇胶当成了头油，导致了之前的苍蝇一直留着头发上。这才是Mary大笑的原因，故D正确。
【名师点睛】
本文属于猜测词义题，这是高考中常考的题型。同时猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
1. 定义法
It will be very hard but also very brittle...that is, it will break easily.
从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。
2. 同位法
They traveled a long way, at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.
同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义，即“城堡”。
3. 对比法
She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but一词表转折，因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天“第一节上了一半才来”，因此反向推理，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。
4. 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)
Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.
possibility 是 possible 的同根名词， 据此可以断定 possibility 意思是“可能性”。
5. 因果法
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent. So the player could never play the sport again.
从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中，可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的，永久的”。

2016高考选练----阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term “handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget(小装置，小机械) recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”
Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”
32. The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.
A. an artist
B. a company
C. a mobile
D. an exhibition
33. Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.
A. in the exhibition
B. from Mr Miles
C. when they are mass produced
D. after they recycle the gadgets
34. The purpose of the project is to _______.
A. promote the technology of IT
B. enable people to talk to their hands
C. raise people’s awareness of recycling
D. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. New mobiles that are fashionable.
B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.
C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.
D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.

2016高考选练----阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Hidden in our subconsciousness (潜意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw（拼图玩具） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the loan!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
“Relish(appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
25．Why does the author describe the mental picture?
A．To lead us into a perfect world. B．To let people enjoy the scenery.
C．To introduce an actual trip of his. D．To compare it to our life’s journey.
26．How do people feel when they’re on their trip?
A．Puzzled. B．Happy. C．Relaxed. D．Impatient.
27．What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today” in Line 2 Paragraph 5?
A．Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B．We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C．regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D．We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.
28．Why does the author write the passage?
A．To teach us a good lesson. B．To tell us the right attitude to life.
C．To advice us to forget our worries. D．To stop us wandering along the aisles.
