(2016·山东省实验中学一模)Nail art has become an international phenomenon and many are using their fingernails to display creativity and personality. Social networks are overflowing with people showing off their latest and at times, impossibly complicated designs. The important question is “Where did it all begin and how has the color of your fingernails become just as, if not more important than the outfit you are wearing?”
The history of nail polish and nail art dates back to 3000 BC in China, India and Egypt. Plants were processed to create a dye that was used as a type of nail paint, which was then applied and represented social class and wealth; deep colors such as red were worn by the rich and lighter paler colors were used by the poor. The Inca civilization even went as far as painting animals on their nails to show which tribe they belonged to!
It wasn't until the early 19th century that nail paints was modernized into the nail polish that we see and know of today. The boom of the automobile industry introduced a wide selection of colors which were soon adapted to be used on nails, which further escalated the nail polish industry's success.
Today, nail polish has become a statement of personality and creativity. The color of your nails communicates the subculture you belong to. Nail art is part of the fashion world, the application of gems, airbrushing, fine detail and nail extensions means that they can complete any look.
I personally love changing the color and pattern of my nails to finish off my outfit and I enjoy creating new designs. There is plenty of inspiration on the Internet and with the latest introduction everyone can get a professional finish in half the time!

(2016·河北省衡水中学高三二模)The last time I saw him was 12 years ago. Twelve years has passed, and I still remember eating pomegranates (石榴) while his thin hands combed through my hair. To this day, I still remember stories my grandfather used to tell me. As a child living in Korea, my grandfather was my closest friend, the man I spent every day with and depended on for back rides. We were inseparable from the moment we awoke until I fell asleep in his arms. I ate the food he prepared, and he was my pillow and storyteller. Little did we know that a day would come when his first granddaughter would leave. My father was to be stationed in the United States and time would blur (使……变模糊) our images of each other.
On the summer of my sixteenth birthday, I would see my grandfather again. On the plane, thoughts of him ran through my mind during all 14 hours of the flight. Would he look the same? Would he be healthy? Did he still have the pictures I drew for him? Most importantly, would he remember me? I was short then and always smiling. He dressed me. Twelve years later, I was taller and had a different figure. I picked out my own outfits and had my own sense of style. I was scared he wouldn't recognize I was his granddaughter.
I landed in the airport and rode with my aunt and cousin to my grandfather's house, where we found him pacing back and forth, awaiting my arrival. He looked the same, and as soon as I stepped out of the car and faced him, I began to cry. He ran toward me. “Tina!” My grandfather kept yelling. We met each other with open arms and he whispered, “I've been waiting for my granddaughter to come home. I missed you, my little Tina. Welcome home.” Our eyes filled with tears as we walked up the stairs, arm in arm, telling each other all the events we had missed in each other's life. He did remember. After all, I am his first granddaughter.

(2016·海口高考模拟)When Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesn't see rubbish, but he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers? A beautiful kite! But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28yearold CEO of Trenton, New Jerseybased TerraCycle, they're a business model.
The fasttalking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling (升级改造). Instead of recycling, TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (废物填埋地) and reuses it — more or less whole. TerraCycle's 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target.
Szaky's $7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil, is quite different from the business he founded with his classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell organic plant fertilizers made from worm waste. They lost the competition, but started the business anyway.
With their goal — to make products entirely out of rubbish — suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.
TerraCycle's first product used dininghall waste to feed the worms and thrownaway bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.
To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an icecream container. As Szaky points out, “The biggest problem with most green, fairtrade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了Szaky创立TerraCycle公司对垃圾进行升级改造,从而制造出新产品的经过及理念。8.What is Tom Szaky now?
A.The CEO of TerraCycle.
B.An employee of Home Depot.
C.A student at Princeton University.
D.The manager of a food company.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the 28yearold CEO of Trenton, New Jerseybased TerraCycle”可知,Tom Szaky是TerraCycle公司的首席执行官。
9.How did Szaky get the idea of upcycling?
A.From his visits to foreign companies.
B.From his studies at Princeton University.
C.Through shopping at big stores in America.
D.Through the experience of a business competition.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The two entered a business competition with a plan ... but started the business anyway.”可知,Szaky从事升级改造产业的想法源于一次商业竞争的经历。
10.What is the goal of TerraCycle?
A.To make cheap and green products.
B.To recycle waste materials in another way.
C.To make products completely out of rubbish.
D.To change worm waste into organic plant fertilizers.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“With their goal — to make products entirely out of rubbish ...” 可知,TerraCycle公司的目标是“完全用垃圾制造产品”。A、D两项都是该公司做的具体事情,而非其目标;B项与第二段中的“Instead of recycling, TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (废物填埋地) and reuses it ...”的表述不一致。
11.What is the advantage of upcycling according to Szaky?
A.The cost is kept rather low.
B.More materials are available.
C.It has a large promising market.
D.Its products are environmentally friendly.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish ... to pay a cost for that right.”可知,升级改造产业的优势在于原材料是免费的,制造成本相当低廉。

(2016·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Is geography important? Here's a question for you to answer.
What have the following countries got in common: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Madagascar?
Quite easy if you can picture them on the globe — they are all islands. All of these nations are surrounded by sea.
What have these five nations got in common? Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein. They are all landlocked. In other words, in contrast to the first five countries whose coastline forms their border, the second five have no
coastline at all. If you are a Hungarian or a Paraguayan, you have to pass through somebody else's country if you want to go to the beach.
Liechtenstein is even more of a geographical phenomenon; it is “doubly landlocked” because the countries that surround it — Austria and Switzerland are also landlocked. There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by five other landlocked countries. Go and have a look at the map if you want to know which.
So how do countries become landlocked? If you are Swiss or Nepalese, you have probably never thought things could be any other way. Switzerland's mountains, like the Himalayas, have formed a natural boundary for thousands of years. But there are borders. Where one country ends and another begins is not something that is fixed for all time.
There are countries like Ethiopia and Bolivia which did have a bit of coast but don't any more. Does it matter? The Ethiopians are not happy that the creation of Eritrea means they now have to use another country's port, when before they had a long coastline on the Red Sea.
But why does coastline matter so much? Throughout history people have preferred to live near the sea, and not just for the fish. Sea means trade, which means wealth. Think of the great successful cities like Singapore, New York or Hong Kong today. Russia has fought several wars over the centuries so that its ships could have access to the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Pacific.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了地理位置的重要性。
12.Which group of the following countries are doubly landlocked ones?
A.Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan.
B.Iceland and Madagascar.
C.Australia and the United Kingdom.
D.Austria and Switzerland.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第五段第一、二句中的“Liechtenstein is even more ... similar position, Uzbekistan”可知,列支敦士登和乌兹别克斯坦都是双重内陆国。故答案选A。
13.What have countries like Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein got in common?
A.They have no borders.
B.They have no coastline at all.
C.They are all surrounded by sea.
D.They had long coastlines before.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“In other words ...second five have no coastline at all.”可知,这五个国家都没有海岸线。故答案选B。
14.Why does coastline matter so much?
A.Because sea means wealth.
B.Because people can eat fish.
C.Because borders are fixed all time.
D.Because people prefer to live near the sea.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第八段第三句“Sea means trade, which means wealth.”可知,海岸线的重要性在于大海意味着财富。故答案选A。
15.What's the missing sentence at the end of the text?
A.Coastline is the main cause of wars.
B.Then what's the disadvantage of coastline?
C.Geography, it seems, can make a big difference.
D.Perhaps other means of transport can be improved.
解析:选C 推理判断题。第八段主要介绍了海岸线的重要性。由此可推知,文章末尾缺少的句子应总结上述观点:地理似乎很重要。故答案选C。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。女性回到学校学习,不仅对个人而且对社会都有很多好处。
1.are employed 因为这句话的主语College graduates和employ之间是动宾关系,所以此处应填employ的被动语态;再根据上下文的语境可知,此处应用一般现在时,且主语是复数。故此处应填are employed。
2.less 根据上文中的“more”可知,此处应填little的比较级形式,即less。
3.being supported 因为前面有介词“from”,所以此处应用动名词结构作宾语。句意:由被人养转变成自己养自己可能是一个挑战,但这是必要的。根据语境可知,此处应填being supported。
4.but 根据语境可知,空格前后之间是转折关系,因此此处应填but。
5.independence 根据下文中的“is”可知,此处应填其名词形式作主语, (in)dependence为不可数名词。故应填independence。
6.it 此处用it作形式宾语,后面的动词不定式结构作真正的宾语。所有代词中,只有it有此用法。故填it。
7.or either ... or ...是固定结构,意为“或者……或者……”。
8.if 句意:如果你受过良好的教育,那你就能比以前做得好许多。根据语境可知,此处应用if引导条件状语从句。
9.the 根据“education”后面的内容可知,此处的“教育”应是特指,故此处应填the。
10.whether 句意:问题在于你此时是否准备好去追求这样的教育。根据语境可知,此处应用whether引导表语从句。

参考范文:
Dear Peter,
I'm writing to tell you something about ehongbao, which is becoming popular in China.
Ehongbao is actually a kind of lucky money from and to relatives and friends during festivals or on special occasions. For many young people, grabbing ehongbao on their mobile phones is a fairly common and exciting activity. Unlike the tradition of elders giving lucky money to children, over half of the people sending ehongbao are in their 20s. It's just for fun or giving best wishes, while the sum of money matters little. In a word, ehongbao is bringing new color to the old tradition.
Nevertheless, I'm concerned about the safety of online payment. So rules and regulations need to be improved regarding the ehongbao system to guarantee its operation.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
