(2016·滕州市第十一中学高三月考)Selfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies, knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product.
The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. Additionally, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing (发光)．
When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally (水平地) and vertically. If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.
One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activitieshiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters(滤光器), which can change your skin tone and eliminate pimples (粉刺) on your face.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。越来越多的人喜欢以自拍的方式留下值得纪念的瞬间，那么，要想自拍出较高质量的照片，应注意些什么呢？
1．To get an image of high quality, you need to ________.
A．be under the light source
B．be against the main light
C．face the main light source
D．have the photo fully exposed
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，要想自拍出高质量的影像，你需要面向主光源。故选C。
2．How can you find the angle that suits you most?
A．Study your face at different angles.
B．Hold the camera far enough from you.
C．Keep the camera lower than your face.
D．Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.
解析：选A 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知，自拍前应该尝试研究不同角度下自己的面部，直到最后确定最佳拍摄角度。故选A。
3．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?
A．The use of natural light.
B．A landmark as a background.
C．Changes of the skin tone.
D．A busy background.
解析：选D 细节理解题。第四段主要谈自拍时的一个常见问题是背景混乱。所以本段最后一句提到要避免过于繁杂的背景才会有好的自拍效果。故选D。

(2016·太原第二学段测评)A group of psychologists led by Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which emphasizes the fact that much learning occurs in a social context. This kind of learning, which results simply from observing and imitating the behaviors of others, is called observational learning. Observational learning helps people acquire proper behaviors in their families and cultures. By watching others, we learn how people talk to each other, what clothes are “fashionable”， and how to interact with people.
In one of Bandura's classic studies, children were divided into three groups: One group watched an adult beating up a Bobo doll, one group watched an adult ignoring the Bobo doll, and the third didn't see an adult at all. After being placed in a room with toys, but not being allowed to play with them, all the children were then placed in another room with a variety of toys, including a Bobo
doll. Children in the first group tended to imitate what they had seen, mistreating the doll and even inventing new ways to abuse it. They were also aggressive with the other toys in the room.
Researchers have discovered that several characteristics of models can make learning through observation more effective. Not surprisingly, the more you pay attention to the model, the more you learn. You are more likely to pay attention if the model is an expert, is goodlooking, has high status, or is socially powerful.
Then, as teachers, how can you apply observational learning? Here are a few guidelines. Above all, model the behaviors and attitudes you desire your students to learn. For example, show enthusiasm for the subject you teach. Be willing to demonstrate both the mental and the physical tasks you expect the students to perform. Second, use peers, especially class leaders, as models. For example, in group work, pair students who do well with those who are having difficulties. Third, you may seek the help of class leaders in modeling behaviors. Examples include letting highstatus students lead an activity when you need class cooperation or when students are likely to be reluctant (不情愿的) at first.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了著名的“波波玩偶实验”及Bandura所倡导的观察学习理念。这种理念可以运用在教师的实际教学中：以身示范，向学生展示你的行为和态度；重视榜样引领；强调自我调节等。
4．What can you acquire by watching others according to the passage?
A．A social context.
B．Appropriate actions.
C．Family cultures.
D．Knowledge from instructors.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Observational learning helps ...”可知，通过观察别人，我们可以学会如何与人沟通、互动等行为。故B项正确。
5．What was found in Bandura's studies?
A．All the children in the test found a new way to play with Bobo doll.
B．All the children in the test tended to imitate what they had learned.
C．Children watching a Bobo doll beaten treated Bobo doll cruelly.
D．Children watching a Bobo doll beaten invented new ways to look after toys.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Children in the first group ...”可知，唯有第一组的儿童会模仿他们所见的，有的甚至想出新招来虐待玩偶。故C项正确。
6．The guidelines for teachers mentioned in the last paragraph do NOT include “________”．
A．focusing on the model
B．using class leaders as models
C．showing enthusiasm for the subjects
D．demonstrating the mental and physical tasks
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四、五、六句可知，B、C、D三项均涉及。故选A项。
7．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The importance of social learning theory.
B．Learning new behaviors in group work.
C．Albert Bandura and his contributions.
D．Observational learning and its application.
解析：选D 文章大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章主要介绍了Bandura观察学习理念的内容与作用，最后给老师提供了在教学方面运用观察学习理念的策略。A、B两项表达的意思只涉及文章部分内容；C项作为标题，显得大而模糊。故D项正确。

(2016·银川质量检测)Many of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG). Nearly all such lands are economically well developed. They include much of Europe (including Russia), the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. As the rate of natural increase (RNI) declines, two things happen. First, the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration. Second, a country's population ages because there are fewer births.
Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country's population begins to drop? Many people, after all, believe that population decline is a good thing. But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?
An aging population can create many problems. Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention. Rather than paying into retirement programs, they begin to draw from their pensions. In the US, the Social Security program, according to many experts, will be used up by 2018. It will pay out more money than it takes in. Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or able to do them. Many of these jobs are entrylevel positions that pay low wages. With an aging population, who will fill them? At the other extreme, some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills. Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?
The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple: increased migration. Today many people, particularly those from less developed countries, are migrating in search of employment. Many are willing to take jobs that cannot (or will not) be filled by the_domestic_population. Others are well educated and highly skilled. Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways. Further, they add to the richness of a country's culture. Of greatest importance, perhaps, is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands. As you can see, for many countries and for most immigrants, migration is a winwin situation.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。许多发达国家正在或即将经历人口零增长，这是利还是弊？作者认为，人口零增长会导致人口老龄化，从而导致劳动力不足，加大社会福利负担，不利于国家的经济发展。所以增加移民是解决这个问题的办法，因为增加移民既能解决劳动力不足的问题，又能引进人才，丰富文化，带动经济发展。
12．In the writer's view, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good.
B．Achieving ZPG is every country's aim in spite of its side effects.
C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens.
D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment.
解析：选A 推理判断题。第三段作者认为：人口零增长会导致人口老龄化，从而导致劳动力不足，加大社会福利负担，不利于国家的经济发展。由此可知，作者认为人口零增长有一些不利之处。故A项正确。
13．According to the passage, the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ________.
A．to improve the health care system
B．to increase RNI
C．to increase employment
D．to increase migration
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“The answer to ... increased migration.”可知，作者认为解决人口减少和人口老龄化的方法是增加移民。故选D项。
14．The underlined words “the domestic population” can be replaced by ________.
A．people within the country
B．people from developing countries
C．people without a college education
D．people living abroad
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后五句“Additionally, a great number of jobs ... as retirees leave the workforce？”可知，人口老龄化会导致社会劳动力不足，这些职位将由谁来担任？第四段作者指出增加移民可以解决这些问题。许多移民愿意承担本国人不能或不愿做的事。由此可知，“the domestic population”是指相对移民而言的本国人。故选A项。
15．The main idea of the last paragraph is ________.
A．the advantages of increased migration
B．the problem of declining and aging population
C．how to increase migration
D．some ways to enrich a country's culture
解析：选A 段落大意题。最后一段的中心句是该段第一句。由该句和下文可知，本段主要说明了增加移民的好处。故选A项。

Be open to change.
You should expect to learn, grow and change during your time at school. __4__ As the term progresses, realize things will change for both of you. Be comfortable to address things that unexpectedly come up, set new rules, and be flexible to your changing environment.

语篇解读：圣帕特里克节是我们幼儿园里开心的一天，每个人都认为在这一天有一个小妖精会光顾我们的教室。今年圣帕特里克节我们甚至还看到了教室里到处都是小妖精的脚印。
1．wonderful 设空处后为名词，由此可判断设空处应为形容词。
2．him 作catch的宾语应用he的宾格形式。
3．were greeted 根据设空处后的by可推知主语we与greet为被动关系，故用被动语态；根据上下文可知设空处需用一般过去时，故答案为were greeted。
4．whether 句意：孩子们中没有一个人对那个妖精是真是假感到怀疑。根据句末的or not可知设空处应为whether(是否)。由于本宾语从句作的是介词的宾语，故不可用if。
5．hoping 主语they与hope为逻辑上的主动关系且表示伴随，故用hoping。
6．caught get caught in“被困在……”，为固定短语。
7．a card为可数名词，在本句中表泛指，故用不定冠词a。
8．wishes wishes“祝愿，祝福”，专指写在书信或卡片中的祝愿。
9．best 根据上下文及设空处前的the可推知本空需用形容词最高级。

Dear Mr. Smith，
I've read your advertisement for an assistant teacher for a children's summer camp. I am quite interested in this position. I am outgoing, energetic, wellorganized and responsible; and most importantly, I love working with children! In the past two years, as a monitor in my class, I have proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak English fluently, which enables me to help native English speakers communicate freely and effectively with students in an Englishonly environment.
I will soon have a long summer vacation, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I can start my work next week. I would be pleased to assist both the teachers and students in this challenging and rewarding environment.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
