(2016·河北五校联盟质检二)When Joshua Blue, a head teacher at the Kennedy, hosts a lecture for his students, he wears a light violetcolored tie. “You don't want so many bright colors that the kids will get distracted，” said Blue. Colors give off very specific signals, and different tie colors stand for very different impacts. Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting? Here's how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion：
All powerful reds
It's not a coincidence (巧合) that many politicians wear redcolored ties with light shirts and darker suits. “Red is the powerful color，” said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel, Maryland. “There's something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.” But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. When you want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a shiny red.
Royal purples
Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of selfconfidence and helps him create lasting first impressions. Purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth, is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.
Black affairs
“While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive，” said Zyla. But remember: the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations. “Avoid it if you are a greenhand at work，” Zyla said.
Right blues
Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color? Consider blue as the allpurpose tie. Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds people of the sky and ocean. “Blue is the safest color to wear，” Lindsay said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。每一种颜色都会传递不同的信息，产生不同的影响。在想下一次开会要系什么颜色的领带吗？本文能帮你选出匹配每个场合的最佳颜色的领带。
1．Why do many politicians prefer redcolored ties?
A．Because they often wear light shirts and darker suits.
B．Because they want to get promoted.
C．Because red is related to strength and passion.
D．Because red gets their message across easily.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Red is the powerful color”和“There's something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.”可知选C。
2．Who will probably choose the purple ties?
A．Politicians. B．Businessmen.
C．Artists.
D．Head teachers.
解析：选B 细节理解题。由第三段中的“business meetings because the color ... more acceptable in the workplace.”可知，紫色会让职场人士显得自信，从而获得良好的第一印象，象征尊贵。
3．What color tie will you consider if you are a greenhand at work?
A．Red.
B．Purple.
C．Black.
D．Blue.
解析：选D 推理判断题。综合全篇可以看出红色领带适合政治家；紫色领带适合商业人士；而新人应避免戴黑色领带，由最后一段中的“Consider blue as the allpurpose tie.”和“Blue is the safest color to wear”可知对于新手来说，戴蓝色领带最为保险。

(2016·潍坊市第一中学高三上学期月考)Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time — about eight hours after you wake up — your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers don't follow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap — even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
4．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because you eat too much for lunch.
B．Because it's hot in summer.
C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D．Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time — about eight hours after you wake up — your body temperature goes down.” 可知选C。
5．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
C．If you take naps every day, you'll never suffer from heart disease.
D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段特别是“A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.”可知D项正确。根据“Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps.”可知A项错误；B项是对“Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers don't follow it！”的曲解；C项说法太绝对，故应排除。
6．What can we infer from the passage?
A．If you get up at 6：30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 1：30 pm.
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D．You'll feel sleepy at regular intervals.
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第二段的“Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.”可知A项错误；由文章最后一段的倒数第二、三句可知，午睡太长或太晚都会使人感到疲劳，故C项错误；午睡应有合适的时间，想睡就睡对身体无益，故B项错误；根据第一段的“At that time — about eight hours ... slow down and feel sleepy.” 可知到某个时候通常会感到困倦，故D项正确。
7．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest
B．All for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern
D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climates
解析：选B 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了午休对身体有很大的好处，因此建议大家如果有可能的话，都养成午休的习惯。故选B。
C
(2016·东北三省四市第一次联考)Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 international students. They were attending fouryear colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.
Students from Englishspeaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.
Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where it's not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”
VOA's Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60% of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.
Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”
8．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Making Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign Students
B．Students from East Asia Are Not Good at Making Friends
C．International Education Industry in Australia and America
D．The Relation between Foreign Students and Host Countries
解析：选A 标题归纳题。根据第一段的“But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy.”可知，本文是围绕着国际留学生不容易交友而进行阐述的。故答案选A。
9．Professor Gareis tends to think that ________.
A．culture shock should be blamed for many levels of American culture
B．foreign students don't know small talks mean a lot to Americans
C．foreign students should learn some basic social skills first of all
D．foreign students have difficulty making friends for different reasons
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，外国学生难交到朋友是因为文化层次不同、语言以及社交技巧等各方面问题造成的。故答案选D。
10．How did Jessica Stahl carry out her survey?
A．By doing questionnaires from Students Union.
B．By asking questions on the Internet.
C．By forming the students into groups.
D．By doing a survey through VOA.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“More than 100 students ... online questions.”可知，她是通过让学生们在网上回答问题而开展调查的。故答案选B。
11．Which of the following statements will the writer probably agree with?
A．International students like to make more friends in their own group.
B．International students are more likely to remain in the host country after graduation.
C．Students who make more friends at home have better academic performance.
D．Students who make friends in their host countries feel happier with their experience.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“International students ... in the host country.”可知，那些与东道国学生交友的国际留学生，对自己在东道国的经历更满意。故答案选D。
D
(2016·太原二模)Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observations.
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.
Scientists estimate that the oceanis 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.
While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede — the largest moon in our solar system — until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.
This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.
Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.
语篇解读：本文是一篇资讯报道。NASA证实木星的最大卫星Ganymede上有海洋，这一发现再次拓宽了科学家的视野，使探寻太阳系内地球以外的生命的努力更进了一步。
12.What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句可知，木星卫星Ganymede上海洋的存在激发了人们探索地球以外的生命的热情。故选B项。
13．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble?
A．Cautious.B．Doubtful.
C．Negative.
D．Favourable.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句可知，这次具有里程碑意义的发现只有哈勃望远镜能够完成。由此可推知，作者对哈勃望远镜持支持态度。故选D项。
14．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa.
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.
解析：选C 句意猜测题。根据第六段中的“and NASA has announced plans to send ... with liquid water”可知，因为Europa上有水存在，NASA才宣布要在Europa上搜寻地外生命；由此可推知，画线句意为：科学家们已经证实Europa上存在海洋。故选C项。
15．What type of writing does this passage belong to?
A．A term essay.
B．A news report.
C．An experiment report.
D．An exploration review.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Washington: NASA has announced evidence ...”及文章内容可推知，本文为一篇资讯报道。故选B项。

(2016·山东省日照市校际联合检测)I used to feel I was the sun in my family. But while my cousin was born, everyone pays more attention to her. So I disliked her and couldn't get along well with her. As time went on, I realized what ridiculous I had been at that time. I tried to find a proper time to apologize. When my cousin's family came to my home a few day ago, I took my cousin to play outside. In the way to the playground, I had bought many snacks for her. Then we began chat. When we talked about their childhood, suddenly, I said “sorry” gently. She was silently, so I thought that she hadn't
heard me clearly. But after while she said: “Don't say that. In my memory, you are always friendly.”

Dear Sir or Madam，
I'm glad to know you're going to hold a summer camp from July 1st to 7th during the vacation.I have a great interest in it. There're so many wonderful activities, such as experiencing cooking culture, visiting worldfamous universities, attending foreign classes, learning family gardening, visiting places of interest and so on, which I think are all very useful to us high school students.
After my careful consideration, I've decided to apply to learn family gardening. I want to learn how to grow flowers and plants well. We have a garden, where my parents grow various vegetables, flowers and plants. With the knowledge I learn, I hope I can help them with some work in the garden and manage it better.
Thanks for reading my application. I hope I'll have a chance to take part in the activity.
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely，
