(2016·济南市高考模拟)Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32yearold man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.
“I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick. “I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨).”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn't bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.
“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water when I was 18 months old and gave me the courage to learn how to swim,” said Nick.
Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in the hope that he would be more like other kids. During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.
“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others,” said Nick. “I realized why God had made us like this — to give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I don't.”
“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.
语篇解读:本文是一篇人物传记。主要讲述了演说家Nick Vujicic身残志坚的故事。

(2016·烟台二中高三期中考试)
“Made in China” has Changed
Many shoppers in the West still prize labels, boasting (吹嘘) a product was made in Italy without knowing that a growing number of Italian products come from factories that are Chineseowned and staffed. The products which were marked “Made in China” gave the buyer an impression of “low pride and low cost, low technology and development”. The statement used to be true, but now it has changed.
“Made in China” is becoming a leading part in the world market. China's garment industry (制衣业) has been investing in producing technology and training for decades, and its workforce has collectively gotten better at sewing garments. As a result, the quality of Chinesemade clothes is rising fast. It has been home to a highlyskilled, highlyspecialized garment industry, one that supplies even some highend (高端的) labels and offers the best mix of price, speed, and quality.
“If I was to make a basic men's jean, I'd make that in Pakistan,” said Edward Hertzman, coowner of the trade publication Sourcing Journal. “If I was going to make a fashionable women's garment, I would move to China because their skill set is better, their hand is better, their finishing is better, and they can handle that type of fashion.”
Indeed, luxury fashion labels now routinely make things in China. Burberry, Armani, and Prada have all produced things there, because they're still able to get good workmanship at a relatively low price. Even the Japanese brand Visvim, known for its crazy attention to detail, also produces highend, handmade footwear in China.
Despite the rising wages and costs of doing business in China, companies have not walked away. “China is viewed by people who make buying decisions as unique and hard to copy elsewhere,” says Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva.
语篇解读:本文是议论文。文章讨论了“中国制造”发生的变化。中国制造从过去的低端、廉价、质量不高正逐渐向现在的高端、价高、质优上转变。
8.Which of the following is NOT true about “Made in China”?
A.It used to be associated with poor quality.
B.It has lost its leading status in the world market.
C.Its products are recognized by luxury fashion brands.
D.It reflects China's investment in producing technology.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知中国制造现在在世界上正占据着主导地位。故选B。
9.Edward Hertzman thinks highly of “Made in China” in such aspects as ________.
①workers' skills low prices advanced technology a sense of fashion
A.
B.
C.
D.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知Edward Hertzman认为中国制造的优势在于技术娴熟、专业、时尚,中国制造已不是低廉的代名词。
10.What is the similarity between Prada and Visvim?
A.Both of them are from Japan.
B.Neither of them sells at a low price.
C.They both make products in China.
D.They both produce handmade footwear.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知这两种牌子现在都在中国制造产品。
11.What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A.Doing business in China costs a lot more now.
B.Chinese companies are more creative than others.
C.Foreign producers want to copy China's success.
D.Rising costs stop the interest of foreign companies.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知现在中国的工资上涨、制造成本增加,这说明,现在在中国做生意成本更高了。

(2016·东北三省三校联合模拟)While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted — being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3D pizza printer!
About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn't show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That's because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文。宇航员在太空时,也会有不同的食物需求。最新的研究表明,3D打印技术有望让宇航员们在太空吃上比萨。
12.Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?
A.To ask us not to take common things for granted.
B.To show they live a difficult life there.
C.To show their life is boring in space.
D.To introduce the topic of the text.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,使用3D打印技术可以解决宇航员在太空吃比萨的问题。由此可推断出,文章开篇描述几个无法实现的愿望旨在引出本文的话题。故D项正确。
13.NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.
A.create some new type of 3D printer
B.attract more companies to work for NASA
C.help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
D.produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,美国航空航天局提供125 000美元是为了开发为宇航员们提供新鲜比萨的技术设备。故C项正确。
14.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that________.
A.he has no money left to go on with his research
B.the pizza doesn't seem appetizing to pizza lovers
C.he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
D.he cannot make the food container last for decades
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“That's because ...printer last for 30 years.”可知,让打印机中的食物容器能够维持 30 年是目前的一大难题。故D项正确。
15.What's the best title of the passage?
A.NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
B.Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
C.NASA is working on making pizza for common people
D.A 3D pizza printer has been used to make pizza
解析:选B 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一种可以在太空自制比萨的3D打印技术,因此将来宇航员们也许能吃上热腾腾的比萨。故B项最适合做本文标题。

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者和玛丽是室友,但由于生活习惯不同,她们相处得并不融洽。终于有一天,矛盾激化,战争一触即发。不过一个电话阻止了这场战争:玛丽的奶奶得了重病。看着她伤心的样子,作者用行动表示了对她的关心。从此两人明白了和谐共处的关键:学会让步、保持整洁、互相鼓励。
1.objects 根据空格前“very neat and each of her”可知,此处指玛丽很爱干净,她的每件物品都摆放得很整齐。由此可知,“object”在本句中是名词,意为“物品”。根据句中“each of”可知,应用其复数形式。故填objects。
2.putting warn sb. against (doing) sth.是固定短语,意为“告诫某人不要做某事”。故填putting,在句中作介词against的宾语。
3.with be filled with ...是固定短语,意为“充满……”,符合句意。故填with。
4.a 句意:要不是因为一个电话打来,我们两个人一分钟都不可能再待在一起了。由此可知,应填不定冠词a。a single+单数名词=a(n)+单数名词。single用于否定句中加强语气。
5.it 根据上句中“a phone call”可知,本句指玛丽接了电话。故填it,用来代替上句中“a phone call”。
6.Obviously 空处在句中作状语,修饰整个句子,应用其副词形式。故填Obviously。注意首字母大写。
7.to show 句意:我意识到我应该做些什么来表示我的关心。根据句意可知,空格处在句中表示目的,应用不定式形式。故填to show。
8.her/Mary's 句意:我拿回我的书,整理好床铺并且扫了地,包括她的(Mary's)那边(的地)。由此可知,应填her/Mary's,表示所属关系。
9.reached 分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语动词,时态应与全文一致,用一般过去时。故填reached。
10.but 根据空格前后两句“We didn't always agree”和“we learned the key ...”的句意可知,空格处表示转折关系,并且重点强调空格后的句意,故填but。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·山西大学附中第五次模拟)One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it.

Hearing that I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can't judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results. I took my grandpa's advice. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is much better as before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.
答案:第二句:devote→devoted; practise→practising
第三句:great→greatly
第四句:去掉to
第五句:that→what; sometime→sometimes
第六句:myself→me; for后加a

Dear Mike,
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from anxiety disorders due to that great stress of studying. Here I would like to give you some suggestions about dealing with your stress.
Firstly, you ought to learn to study hard as well as relax if necessary. As an old saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. When you are tired, you can go for a walk or do some sports with your classmates. Secondly, when you study, do not give yourself too much stress, or you may feel depressed, which is bad for your health. Thirdly, I think it would be beneficial if you could share some of your inner emotions with your friends, parents or teachers.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
