　　(2015·淮安中学4月检测)Lee Kuan Yew emerged onto the international stage as the founding father of the state of Singapore, then a city of about 1 million. He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.

　　Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success. In the first phase of decolonization, Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya. It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapore?s largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency.Malaya_undoubtedly_expected_that_reality_would_cure_Singapore_of_its_independent_spirit.

　　But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations. Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood. The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people. He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevertheless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset (财富): the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people.

　　A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been — indeed, where it as yet cannot imagine being. By insisting on quality education, by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit, Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from D|S500 at the time of independence in 1965 to roughly D|S55,000 today. In a generation, Singapore became an international financial center, the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia, the location of the region?s major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs. It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism: by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world.

　　Superior performance was one component of that achievement. Superior leadership was even more important. As the decades went by, it was moving — and inspirational — to see Lee, the mayor of a medium­size city, become a mentor of global strategic order.

　　The great tragedy of Lee?s life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to communicate or receive communication. Through all that time, Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her. He had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary.

　　Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yew?s role in his era. He had the same hope for our world. He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous. But many of us heard him and will never forget him.

　　38．Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Singapore to be independent?

　　A．He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.

　　B．He determined his people shouldn’t be subjected to Malaya anymore.

　　C．He had considerable confidence in the value of the citys assets.

　　D．He wanted Singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide.

　　39．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can know that________.

　　A．Malaya expected Singapore to be powerful

　　B．Malaya had a desire to kick Singapore off

　　C．Malaya firmly believed Singapore would give in

　　D．Malaya didnt think Singapore possessed independent spirit

　　40．The fourth paragraph is organized to ________.

　　A．illustrate how advanced Singapore has been today

　　B．demonstrate Lee Kuan Yew attached great importance to the talents

　　C．prove what a crucial decision Lee Kuan Yew once made

　　D．show the tremendous impact Lee Kuan Yew had on Singapore

　　41．Which of the following can best describe Lee Kuan Yew?

　　A．Stubborn and arbitrary.

　　B．Aggressive and affectionate.

　　C．Demanding and bossy.

　　D．Outspoken and humorous.

　　(2015·徐州市考前信息卷)Scientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under icy waters in Antarctica. They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf, the world?s largest floating ice sheet.

　　The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent. Money for the project came from America?s National Science Foundation.

　　“We chose a study site where, in the first year, we went into the subglacial (冰川下的) lake and tried to understand the environment in there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates, and how the sediment (沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because its the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean.” says Ross Powell, who led the investigation. The team included scientists, engineers, mechanics and technicians. They used tractors to pull electric generators, science laboratories, heavy machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main U．S. scientific base at McMurdo Station to the researchers’ camp. The camp was near a subglacial lake, where an earlier study took place.

　　Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels.

　　“What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.”

　　Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill. The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740 meters. They collected water, sediment and other material from the grounding zone.

　　Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to the 400­square­meter undersea area.

　　Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise.

　　“It?s a very mobile environment. The bottom is changing constantly. And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl. And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive. Some of the little crustacean­like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active.”

　　This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen. How did the creatures get here? What do they feed on? And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?

　　Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.

　　“We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back, we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past, relative to what it is doing now. And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment, we anticipate that there will be some differences that we’ll see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores, once, we open them up.” But Ross Powell says the work raises more questions than it answers.

　　42．Scientists conducted the three­month research at the Ross Ice Shelf with the intention of ________.

　　A．predicting how climate change influences rising sea levels

　　B．finding out whether there are life forms existing deep under Antarctic ice

　　C．proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by water

　　D．discovering an explanation of the effect the melting ice has on sea level rise

　　43．What made the researchers surprised when they saw the video images?

　　A．Researchers saw fish in the farthest south for the first time.

　　B．A video camera was able to work well under deep icy waters.

　　C．Sediment cores present differences in the history of the ice sheet.

　　D．The drill should dig down 740 meters to collect things.

　　44．From sediment cores taken from the grounding zone, scientists will probably know ________.

　　A．what the ice will do in the near future

　　B．the ice in the grounding zone is melting at the moment

　　C．some differences rarely exist in the history of the ice sheet

　　D．something about the creatures under icy water in Antarctic

　　45．What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A．Scientists will conduct a follow­up study on the frozen continent.

　　B．No creatures once appeared or lived in icy water in Antarctica.

　　C．Americas National Science Foundation is in complete charge of the research.

　　D．Researchers have found how the sediment underneath the ice sheet operates.

　　(2015·泰州高三模拟)Sometimes, just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives. Sometimes they?re big and can?t be missed. Other times they?re so small that if we aren?t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we?ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.

　　On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt?s Mt. Horeb (the mountain of Moses). I?d spent the day at St. Catherine?s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I?d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.

　　I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high­tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust­colored galabia and obviously old and thick­soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small­framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire­rimmed glasses.

　　As we neared one another, I was the first to speak. “Hello，” I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not

　　a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carded my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English: “Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.

　　That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. What the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses mountain, that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and ultimately, my life.

　　I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my_own_question was easy: The odds were slim to none! In an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity, and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that’s a miracle.

　　I suspect that we all experience small miracle in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are. In the moments when we don’t, that’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle,_until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!

　　The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.

　　46．Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt. Horeb in Egypt?

　　A．He was in search of a miracle in his life.

　　B．It was a holy place for a religious person to head for.

　　C．He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.

　　D．He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.

　　47．What does the underlined part “my own question” refer to in Paragraph 6?

　　A．For what reason did the man stop before me?

　　B．Why did the Asian man go to the mountain?

　　C．What change would I make within a matter of days?

　　D．What was the probability that others told us the right words?

　　48．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 7?

　　A．Apparent.

　　B．Delicate.

　　C．Precise.

　　D．Sufficient.

　　49．The author viewed the encounter with the Asian man as a miracle in his life in that ________.

　　A．the Asian man’s appearance had a deciding effect on his future life

　　B．his words were in perfect response to the need he had at that moment

　　C．what the Asian man said was abundant in the philosophy of life

　　D．the Asian man impressed on him the worth of what he had possessed

　　50．What might be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Can you recognize a miracle?

　　B．Is a miracle significant to us?

　　C．When might a miracle occur?

　　D．Why do we need a miracle?

　　.1.选D　考查冠词的用法。句意：《穹顶之下》是柴静发布的一部103分钟的纪录片，它推动了有关空气污染的公众意识，鼓励人们共同努力，改变现状。分析句子结构可知，第一空后的“103­minute documentary”作“Under the Dome”的同位语，说明其类别，所以用不定冠词a；第二空后的“awareness”属于抽象名词，在句中泛指“公众意识”，故其前不用冠词。故选D项。

　　2．选A　考查代词辨析。句意：每个人都忍不住对科幻小说所带来的世界着迷。cant help but do ...是固定短语，意为“情不自禁做……，忍不住做……”。根据句意可知，答案为A项。

　　5．选D　考查非谓语动词。句意：“据说，约翰逊是你们大学今年第一个被晋升为教授的年轻老师。”“的确如此。相信自己的能力是他成功的重要因素。”当中心词前有序数词修饰时常用不定式作定语。结合“this year”可知，promote是已经完成的动作，并且promote与其逻辑主语“teacher”之间是被动关系，故此处应填to have been promoted；分析答句成分可知，“________ of his own competence”在句中作主语，并且空格部分与其逻辑主语“the young teacher”之间是被动关系，故应用“Being convinced”的形式(­ed分词不作主语)。故答案为D。

　　6．选B　考查动词的时态。根据句中“after the operation”和“but unluckily he is taking a turn for the worse today”可知，“感觉好”是今天之前的事，应用一般过去时，故选B项。

　　7．选A　考查代词辨析。句意：这位公主的婚纱非常高贵优雅。这种风格是如此的美以至于它很快就会受到年轻女士的欢迎。分析句子结构和句意可知，本句考查“such ... that ...”结构。在本句中，“such”作代词，代替前句整个句子，常放在句首，句子用倒装形式。其谓语与后面主语在人称和数上保持一致。故选A。

　　10．选C　考查时间状语从句。句意：人类必须先满足衣食住行的需要才能进行政治、科学、艺术和宗教活动。根据题干中“first of all”(首先)可知，本句强调主从句间的先后关系。故选C项，意为“在……之前”，符合句意。

　　11．选A　考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们坚信如果学生对某一学科的兴趣被激发出来，他们就会直面挑战，投入更多的时间和精力去学习。根据从句句意和“challenge”(困难，挑战)可知，此处强调“面对，迎接挑战”。故选A项，意为“面对”，符合句意。B项“跟上，保持”；C项“忍受”；D项“不辜负，履行”。

　　12．选D　考查虚拟语气。句意：够幸运的是，老人被及时送到了医院。再迟三分钟他可能就会死。根据题干第一句可知，老人脱险了。因此第二句是表示对已经发生的事情的假设，应用虚拟语气，故选D项。

　　14．选C　考查介词短语辨析。句意：与之前为市场提供廉价汽车的做法相反的是，为了迎合环保需要，中国的汽车制造商们现在更注重提供能够使用可再生能源的汽车。根据逗号前后做法不一致的语境可知，选C项，意为“与……相反”，符合句意。A项“关于，就……而言”；B项“由于，基于”；D项“对……作出反应”。

　　15．选B　考查交际用语。根据答语中“You are the boss.”可知，答话者强调让问话者自己做决定。故选B项，相当于Its up to you，意为“由你决定”。A项“当然，完全正确”；C项“没问题”；D项“得看情况而定”。

　　.
