(2015·常德质检)Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America.Many theories，even some mystical ones，have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap，quick and efficient way to maintain (or achieve) physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart，lungs，and circulatory(血液循环的)systems.If these systems are fit，the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.One can train more specifically，as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football，but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth doing that：This sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease，the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed—a pair of good shoes.Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in tennis or gym shoes.Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make a pair of excellent running shoes indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible，with as little chance of injury as possible.A pair of good running shoes will have soft pads for absorbing shock，as well as slightly built－up heels and full heel cups that will give the knee and ankle more stability.A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters(水泡)and the foot，ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.No other special equipment is needed；you can jog in any clothing you desire，even your street clothes.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run.The American Jogging Association has a twelve－week program designed to move from a fifteen－minute walk(which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health)to a thirty－minute run.A measure of common sense，a physical examination，and a planned schedule are all it takes.
1．The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．discuss jogging as a physical fitness program
B．describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
C．provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging
D．launch a nationwide physical fitness campaign
2．The most effective kind of exercise should be the one that ________.
A．trains the body for weight lifting
B．enables a person to run straight ahead
C．is both beneficial and inexpensive
D．develops the heart，lungs，and circulatory systems
3．We can conclude from this passage that ________.
A．jogging makes heart disease no longer be an American problem
B．jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly prepared
C．suits are preferable to gym shoes and T－shirts
D．jogging is bad for the ankles and knees
4．What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．For beginning joggers，tennis or gym shoes are better choices.
B．A pair of good running shoes is necessary for a runner to develop quickly.
C．A pair of good running shoes with a full heel cup is designed to prevent shock.
D．Comfortable pads will give the knees and ankles more stability.
5．The author’s attitude towards jogging is ________.
A．doubtful B．critical
C．approving
D．objective

(2015·岳阳模拟)The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history.In their 8－year, 12－album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered popular culture dramatically.It wasn’t just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for.The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.
Their influence was at its height in the 1960s.but their music continues to stir listeners today.However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday：The music had never been remastered (重新灌录)．But on September 9 that situation came to an end，with the release of the entire band’s music in a digital makeover.It is probably the biggest reissue(重新发行)in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times.
The albums were to be remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work.The cover of their last album，Abbey Road of 1969，featured the four young men striding(大步行走)across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself.It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images.
Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation.
Pop groups come and go.The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next.But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured.Why?

(2015·长沙模拟)New York is a popular travel destination.Whether its business or tourist travelers，the state plays host to millions of visitors each year.Being the largest financial district in the world，New York undoubtedly attracts millions of business travelers each year.As such，New York doesn’t only have a wide selection of comfortable lodging options; it also has a whole line of car rental companies.With the many options available，how do you pick which New York car rental company to use?
Check your discounts.Your credit card，bank，airline，hotel or other businesses you use are likely to have rewards programs，promo packages and other agreements with certain New York car rentals that provide significant discounts.You don’t want to pass this up.
Check their discounts.New York car rental companies routinely offer specials to snag(阻碍) more customers.The competition is stiff and you’d have at least ten companies vying (竞争的)for your business.Check their discount offers.You may get as much as 50% off if you take out a vehicle over the weekend.
Look for special features.Some rental car companies have fleets that carry GPS.Some offer roadside assistance.They don’t have to provide these value－added services themselves.Other services，such as roadside assistance can be provided by associated businesses.

(2015·株洲模拟)Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.
Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.
“I must see him，” she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.
“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh，” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, “yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.” “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands，” Mahatma Gandhi said. “If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.” “But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.”
1．What does generosity really mean according to the passage？(No more than 14 words)

2．What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for？(No more than 12 words)

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．解析：选B。题干的意思是：“直到他读了文件之后，格罗斯先生才意识到他面前的任务非常难完成。”本句为强调句型，强调状语only after he had read the papers。根据强调句结构“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋剩余部分．”可知选B。此外，我们也可以将It is/was与空格去掉来验证此句是不是一个强调句。
2．解析：选B。否定词rarely置于句首，句子要用部分倒装语序。句意：——昨晚电视播放的辩论会怎么样？——很棒！很少有一场辩论会引起这么多媒体的关注。
3．解析：选B。考查连接词用法辨析。根据上下文B项符合题意。答语句意：只要不影响你的学习，在图书馆找个工作是个好主意。as long as“只要”，表条件。A、C、D不合本题逻辑。
4．解析：选D。在easy，difficult，hard，comfortable等形容词构成的复合宾语中，用不定式作状语。动词不定式跟在这些形容词后，用主动形式表被动意义。因此，选D。句意：与早期的版本厚度与重量的不同使得iPad air 2拿着更舒服。
5．解析：选D。句意：那人处于严重的精神崩溃的边缘，因为他不能处理日常生活中的压力。
6．解析：选C。give priority to“给……优先权；优先考虑……”。
7．解析：选B。考查时态和语态。根据otherwise判断，当为含蓄条件句，故选B。
8．解析：选B。考查动词词义辨析。calculate“计算；预测”；accumulate“积累；积聚”；abandon“放弃；放纵”；appoint“委任，任命”。句意：年复一年的教书，他逐渐地积累了很多经验。故选B。
9．解析：选A。give much thought to“着重考虑”；suggestion后的同位语从句中谓语动词用(should)＋动词原形。
10．解析：选D。句意：这两匹马看上去如此相像以至于我们分不清楚它们。alike“相像的”；distinguish“分辨；区分”。
11．解析：选C。考查形容词作状语。形容词＋不定式作状语表示伴随状况。再如：The old man fell on the ground，dead.故答案选择C项。
12．解析：选A。句意：——你觉得现在投资股市如何？——有很多风险，但是也有很多潜在的获利。股市有风险，其收益是潜在的，可能的，因此选择potential“潜在的，可能的”。 confidential“机密的，保密的”；influential“有影响的”；preferential“优惠的，优先的”，都不符合题意。
13．解析：选D。考查主谓一致和时态。本句的主语是the number，所以谓语动词用单数；in the past decade表示时间从过去持续到现在，即“十年来”，因此用现在完成时。
14．解析：选D。whose指代the computer’s，在句中作定语修饰help，with one’s help意为“在某人的帮助下”。
15．解析：选D。句意：——在昨晚的聚会上我确实过得很愉快。——哦，很高兴听你这样说。A：哦，你真好/太感谢你了；B：祝贺你；C：不用谢；D：哦，听到这个消息我很高兴。
