　　B“I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies.

Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”

　　Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued：

　　“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

　　Slaves could be sold freely. Families were often separated. Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman in 1844, yet she remained a slave. In 1849, the farmer who owned her died. Then she ran to the home of a white woman who had offered to help her.

　　This woman told her how to reach another home where she could hide. Harriet Tubman want from place to place in this way. This was how the Underground Railroad operated. Finally, she went into the northern state of Pennsylvania. During the next ten years, she led an expanded Underground Railroad, and helped 300 slaves escape.

　　Harriet Tubman found another way to fight against slavery during the civil War. She went into the southern states to spy(做间谍) for the North. After the Civil War, Harriet Tubman settled in New York State.

　　语篇解读

　　哈丽特·塔布曼是个美籍非洲人，她与奴隶制度勇敢作斗争。她不仅帮助黑人，也为女权工作。

　　D 主旨大意题。第一段第一句是本文谈论的主题，即哈丽特·塔布曼是个美籍非洲人，她与奴录制度勇敢作斗争。

　　A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，黑人奴录通过这条地下通道可以到达没有奴录制度的北方，成为自由人。C 项容易错选，第二段提到了一个白人妇女对塔布曼的帮助，但这并不能说有很多白人关心黑人。

　　D 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句话“… spy（做间谍）for the North.”为北方当间谍可得出答案。

　　C

　　细节理解题。根据第四段第四句话“.. worked for women's rights… ”可知，她也为女权工作，因此她不仅帮助黑人。

　　Which is safer --- staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working at the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low. However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home.

　　The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this that chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas City (1947), Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex (1984) and Bhopal (1984).

　　Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed. The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal.

　　Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died.

　　B. Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.

　　D. Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.

　　A. natural gas, which can easily catch fire

　　B. fertilizer, which can't be stored in a great quantity

　　2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.

　　When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

　　Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.

　　1. The Tile app can help you 　.

　　A. find your missing items

　　B. use your phone more wisely

　　C. save your phone’s battery power

　　D. connect something to your phone

　　2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.

　　B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.

　　C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.

　　D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.

　　3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

　　A. What the Tile app is.

　　B. How the Tile app works.

　　C. The advantages of the Tile app.

　　D. Why the Tile app was invented.

　　4. Where does this passage probably come from?

　　A. A science fiction novel.

　　B. An advertisement.
