(2016·秦皇岛市高三质检)Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles when it hosts the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in November.
From November 3 to 12, the city will restrict the use of private vehicles based on evenand oddnumbered license plates, reducing the use of such vehicles by 35 percent, the municipal (市政府的) traffic committee said on Thursday.
All vehicles transporting construction waste and dangerous chemicals will be banned from the capital's roads during this period, but the restriction will not apply to buses, taxis and other vehicles such as police cars.
The measures are similar to those introduced from July 20 to Sept. 20 in 2008 during the Beijing Olympic Games.
“The number of passengers using public transport will increase by 3 million a day, ” said Li Shaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau.
During the 10 days, 400 additional buses will be used to transport commuters to meet the increased demands.
The municipal government has also drawn up eight plans to reduce industrial pollution during the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation forum.
Zhuang Zhidong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said, “From Nov. 3, production at some companies listed by the government will be suspended for 10 days.”
Work will also be suspended at all construction sites and on demolition projects during this period.
“More importantly, Beijing will work with its neighbors to control emissions，” Zhuang said, adding that there will be regular discussion on air pollution among six governments.
Neighboring authorities in Tianjin Municipality, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will operate strict pollution control measures over the 10 days.
Media reports said that from Nov. 7 to 12, employee departments, institutes and social organizations in Beijing can have a holiday, except for departments dealing with the APEC meeting and city management.
语篇解读：本文是一篇资讯报道。在举办亚太经合组织领导人会议期间，北京将采取严厉的措施来治理污染。
1．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Cars can't be used in Beijing from November 3 to 12.
B．Not all the people in Beijing can have a holiday from November 7 to 12.
C．Citizens will choose buses as their only means of transport.
D．All the neighboring provinces will take the same measures.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，并不是所有在北京的人这几天都有假期，故B项正确；根据第二段中的“From November 3 to 12 ... by 35 percent”可知，是减少使用私家车，不是禁止使用，故A项错误；根据第三段中的“but the restriction will not ... police cars”可知，C项不正确；根据倒数第二段内容可知，北京附近的一些省份也将采取措施治理污染，但是没提到采取的是相同的措施，故D项不正确。
2．What is the purpose of the vehicle restriction?
A．To reduce the emissions caused by vehicles.
B．To call on people to use public transport.
C．To advocate a new lifestyle.
D．To display the friendliness of Beijing people.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles”可知，限制汽车的使用是为了减少它们所产生的污染。故A项正确。
3．The underlined word “suspended” (Paragraph 8) probably means “________”．A．delayedB．continued
C．completed
D．reduced
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的信息可知，因为要治理污染，所以一些被政府列出来的公司的生产将被延期，即A项正确。
4．Where can you probably read the passage?
A．In a travel guide.
B．In a research paper.
C．In a newspaper.
D．In a literature magazine.
解析：选C 文章出处题。文章在开头就点明了主题，即北京出台条例来治理污染，然后进行了详细的说明，这符合资讯报道的写法，故本文可能来自报纸。

(2016·聊城模拟)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you're not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She's a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.
“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving
in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.
Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
“I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College,
in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts.”
Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。
5．According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?
A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.
B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck认为，获奖的运动员未必是最好的运动员。她认为，进步最大的、对团队精神贡献最多的和表现最佳的运动员都应获奖。故C项正确。
6．Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?
A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.
D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授Kenneth Barish认为，我们应该鼓励孩子参加体育活动。颁发奖杯就是一种激励方式。
7．The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．
A．honourB．choose
C．value
D．stress
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，Barish认为，当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他们奖杯的时候，我们给孩子们传递了一个错误的信号：获胜就是一切。因此画线的短语“single out”意为“挑出”。
8．Which shows the correct structure of the text?
解析：选B 篇章结构题。本文的第一段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授Carol Dweck的主要观点：反对参与者人人获奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授Kenneth Barish的观点，即赞成参与者人人获奖。因此B项清晰地展示了本文的结构。
C
(2016·河北省七校联合考试)It was something she had dreamed of since she was five. Finally, after years of training and intensive workouts, Deborah Duffey was going to compete in her first high school basketball game. The goals of becoming an outstanding player and playing college ball were never far from Deborah's mind.
The game was against Mills High School. With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, Deborah's team led by one point. A player of Mills had possession of the ball，and Deborah ran to guard against her. As Deborah was running to block the player, her knee went out and she fell down on the court in burning pain. Just like that, Deborah's season was over.
After suffering the bad injury, Deborah found that, for the first time in her life, she was in a situation beyond her control. Game after game, she could do nothing but sit on the sidelines watching others play the game that she loved so much.
Injuries limited Deborah's time on the court as she hurt her knees three more times in the next five years. She had to spend countless hours in a physical clinic to receive treatment. Her frequent visits there gave her a passion and respect for the profession.
And Deborah began to see a new light in her life.
Currently as a senior in college, Deborah focuses on getting a degree in physical treatment. After she graduates, Deborah plans to use her knowledge to educate people how to best take care of their bodies and cope with the feelings of hopelessness that she remembers so well.

B．She injured her knee when she was trying to block a player.

A．A Painful Mistake

(2016·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Do you have lunch at school? Do you like having lunch at school? School dinners (that means “lunch”) are a hot topic in the UK these days and there are lots of different opinions about what young people eat at lunchtime. Some people think that school meals are unhealthy; some people say that they are much better than in the past and others say that midday meals should be free for all school children.
A typical school dinner costs about 2 pounds a day for a secondary pupil in the UK. There is usually a main course, a dessert and a drink. Parents often pay in advance online. School dinners must include food groups such as fruit and vegetables, protein (for example meat, fish or cheese) and carbohydrate (for example rice or pasta). There are rules about how the food is prepared, for example there are limits on the quantity of fried food.
Martha Payne, from Scotland, started a blog called Neverseconds about her school dinners when she was just nine years old. She posts photographs of her lunch every day and gives the food a grade out of ten. The grade depends on the quality and quantity of the food and how healthy it is. She doesn't always give good grades. Her complaints include too much fried food, small quantities and hair in the food. Many people read her blog and young people from all over the world post pictures, of their school meals on Neverseconds.
Jamie Oliver, the celebrity British chef, is concerned about school dinners. He thinks that they need to be healthier and tastier. Jamie helped to promote Martha's blog by tweeting (在推特上写) about it and Neverseconds became very popular, very quickly on social media websites. On the blog, Martha also collects money for charity. The money is used to provide food for more than 600,000 poor children around the world.

College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries, __1__ (employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. Collegeeducated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely __2__ (little) on government support.
Making the switch from __3__ (support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge, __4__ often a necessary one. Financial __5__ (dependent) for women is key, says Nancy Schlossberg, professor at University of Maryland. “I think __6__ important for women to do some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced __7__ never married.”
To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before __8__ you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have __9__ education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is __10__ you are ready at this time to go for it.”
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 Mr. President，
Our class has been studying a unit on first aid. It has been very useful because we have learnt about what to do to help someone who has had an accident.
Even though the unit is very interesting and useful, we would like to be able to do a first aid course. Because it would give information about many more situations. It would also give us the chance to practice first aid treatments.
I suggest that the school should organize a first aid course. We think such a course at the school is a necessary part of our education and will make us more useful members of our society. Perhaps we will even save someone's life one day.
Best regards!
Yours sincerely，

Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.
Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants — all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.
And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.
语篇解读：本文是一篇人物传记，本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦后的经历，他很快适应了那里的生活，并把自己所观察到的事情融入自己的创作中。
1．What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?
A．Dirty and small. B．Strange and interesting.
C．Infamous and terrible.
D．Familiar and modern.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a very interesting place”和第五段中的“all these strange sights”可知，在Shakespeare的眼中，伦敦是一个有趣而陌生的城市，即B项正确。
2．Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?
A．Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.
B．Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.
C．Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.
D．Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Shakespeare来到伦敦不久之后，通过观察和学习了解了伦敦，并适应了那里的生活，由此可推断出，Shakespeare擅长观察日常生活并从中学习，故C项正确。
3．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Crowd.
B．Sight.
C．Face.
D．Resident.
解析：选B 代词指代题。画线词后的“as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods”的意思为“正如他以前所学到的田野和树林的秘密那样”，根据这句话可知，one 指的是像田野和树林一样的景象，故B项正确。
4．The passage probably comes from ________.
A．a poster
B．a textbook
C．an advertisement
D．an announcement
解析：选B 推理判断题。本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦的经历，所以这篇文章最有可能出现在一本教材中，故B项正确。

(2015·南宁市适应性测试)Do you usually feel like you're working hard but still can't reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
Study with a partner or in groups.
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him.
__1__
Step into your teacher's shoes.
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test？” You have probably experienced a few of your teacher's tests and quizzes by now.
__2__ Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.
Paint pictures.
__3__ It's harder to remember each piece of
a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture. Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.
Feed your brain.
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Those Snickers commercials were not kidding. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. __4__ Junk foods increase tiredness and don't make you have a good taste for others.
Take breaks.
Your brain is like a muscle. __5__ It can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 1530minute blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.
A．Learn from them for the next test.
B．It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C．It's necessary to have a long holiday and have nice food.
D．Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.
E．You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures.
F．Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
G．We need to have a positive mental state if we want to improve our study efficiency.

(2016·济南市教学质量调研考试)The Netherlands on Monday launched its firstever “intelligent bicycle”， fitted with a set of electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in this country.
The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity. Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind, while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger. It also has a cradle (置物架) in which a computer can be inserted, to wirelessly connect and “talk” to the bicycle through a particular application. The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle's path, like a tree, or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.
A commercialavailable bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1,700 euros to 3,200 euros per bicycle. It weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.
“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，”said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of the scientists involved in the project, “The onboard system technology has already been at work in the automotive industry.”
“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances，”Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said.“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling，” she said.

In 2017, a photograph of Academician Li was taken by his student, in which he was attentively making a lecture with shabby clothes, grizzled hair and straggling beard, without socks, and wearing black cloth shoes. He looked like an old villager, rather than a famous scientist. The photo became popular on the Internet and earned him the title of the “Cloth Shoes Academician”. His simple plain image, kindness to all his students and dedication to his career are three important features on him. All these are precious to educational and academic community.
“The society is changeable but Academician Li is quiet. He faced all stuff with his characters of quietness and simplicity. It is clear that he has become the‘Teacher Immortal’．” said Ge Yuejing, a senior leader of Beijing Normal University.

6．The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.

B．how Li Xiaowen was loved by his students
C．how Li Xiaowen did his research
D．what achievements Li Xiaowen has made

C
(2016·江西九校第二次联考)Liverpool is famed for many things — most especially The Beatles and its football team. But few would associate the city with one of the most famous political speeches in history. Yet tourism officials in the city have published the claim that Martin Luther King's “I Have a Dream” was written at a city centre hotel. The allegation (说法) has been made in a guide to a major art event named Liverpool Discovers.
A map in the guide shows more than 20 locations where famous people were born along with places associated with celebrities (名人) and events in their life. The guide claims, “Martin Luther King visited his supporters in Liverpool three times, and the first draft of his famous speech ‘I Have a Dream’ is claimed to have been written at Adelphi Hotel.” The speech, delivered to civil rights campaigners on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in 1963, is one of the most quoted texts in history and was a definitive moment in the American Civil Rights Movement and in the fight for racial equality.
Dr. King's biographer, Godfrey Hodgson, said that the suggestion did not fit the facts. He said, “I don't believe it. If he had been to Liverpool, there would have been massive media reports, as he would have been a big figure by then. Dr. King did visit the UK on a number of occasions but he was not in the UK around the time of this famous speech in 1963.”Prof. John Belcham, a history lecturer of University of Liverpool who wrote an 800year history of Liverpool in 2008, confirmed that he was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and the city.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了Liverpool这座城市是否与Martin Luther King有关。
8．In the first paragraph, the writer tells us indirectly that
________.
A．Liverpool Discovers was created to remember Martin Luther King
B．many famous political speeches in history were delivered in Liverpool
C．most people think Liverpool is known for the famous speech “I Have a Dream”
D．the claim that “I Have a Dream” was written in Liverpool still lacks evidence
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“But few would associate the city with one of the most famous political speeches in history.”可知，作者间接地告诉我们《我有一个梦想》是在Liverpool写的这种说法缺乏证据，故D项正确。
9．The guide offers relevant information about ________.
A．the places associated with celebrities
B．the families of celebrities
C．the contributions of celebrities
D．the daily life of celebrities
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，这本旅游指南提供的相关信息是与名人之间有联系的地方，故A项正确。
10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Godfrey held a negative attitude towards Dr. King.
B．There were some arguments about whether Dr. King wrote the speech himself.
C．The connection between Dr. King and Liverpool was doubted by some experts.
D．John was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and Liverpool.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...he was not in the UK around the time of this famous speech in 1963.”和“...confirmed that he was unaware of any connection between Dr. King and the city.”可知，二者之间的联系受到某些专家的怀疑，故C项正确。
11．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Martin Luther King and His Speech
B．Is Liverpool Connected to Martin Luther King?
C．Liverpool Is a Good Choice for Holidaymakers
D．The Most Famous People in Liverpool
解析：选B 标题归纳题。文章主要探讨了Liverpool与Martin Luther King之间是否有联系，故B项正确。

The whole family have to drink the wine in their beds and then continue to sleep, while the housewives sit in front of their windows, waiting for the sunrise. As soon as they see the sun rays in the east, they go to the well for the first bucket of water in the New Year. It is said that water in the well is the freshest and sweetest at this time and the family who get the lucky water earliest will be the most fortunate.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者带着两个女儿到海边度假，不料大女儿乘坐的小船偏离海岸太远了，她有些害怕。作者虽然不擅长游泳，但还是坚决地游向女儿并最终成功把她带回了岸边。作者从这次经历中认识到，尽管有时我们并不足够强壮，但是我们还是要相信自己，勇于去尝试。
1．enjoying spend time (in) doing sth.为固定结构，意为“花时间做某事”，所以此处应填enjoy的现在分词形式，即enjoying。
2．tired get后面常接动词的过去分词形式作表语，表示“变得……”，所以此处应填 tired。
3．closer 根据语境可知，作者应该是让大女儿把船划得离海岸近些，所以此处应用 close 的比较级形式，即 closer。
4．paddle 在动词不定式符号to后应用动词原形，且 paddle和句子主语“she”之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应填 paddle。
5．instructions shout意为“大声说出，喊”，是及物动词，所以其后应接名词作宾语，故此处应用instruct的名词形式instruction；又因instruction表示“指令，指示”的含义时是可数名词，由此结合语境可知，此处应填名词复数instructions。
6．Fortunately 空格处应用副词修饰整个句子“some teenagers ...immediately”，所以此处应填 fortunate 的副词形式。
7．noticed 根据上下文语境可知，文章讲述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故此处应填notice的过去式，即noticed。
8．but 根据空格前后的语境可知，作者并不擅长游泳，但还是决定要游到女儿身边去帮助她。空格前后之间为转折关系，故此处应填but。
9．from learn from为固定短语，意为“从……中学到”，符合语境。故此处填from。
10．ourselves 根据语境可知，作者认为，尽管有时我们并不足够强壮，但我们还是要相信自己，勇于去尝试。句子主语为“we”，故此处应填反身代词ourselves。

Dear Mr Green，
I am very happy to hear that you will give a lecture on western culture. Knowing that you're asking for advice on my favorite topics related to it, I would like to share what I am interested in most.
As we all know, western culture is quite different, especially the history of religion. Therefore, I wonder if you could tell us something about it to enrich our knowledge. What's more, how to
follow western table manners is also a good topic because some of us are going to study abroad after graduation. It is the proper behavior at meals
that can help us to get along well with foreigners.
I am looking forward to your excellent lecture and I am willing to help if you want more information.
Yours，
Li Hua
