　　(2015 年山西忻州四校联考)

　　Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet? He was of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904-1973).

　　Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.

　　However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

　　In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

　　Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.” I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(共鸣) in his work.

　　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。On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

　　Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

　　Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

　　“Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalled (回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

　　Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“ I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”

　　Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.

　　“Let's aim for the pier (码头)，” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？” he cried. “A little bit，” the boys said.

　　Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.

　　“Are we almost there？” They asked again and again. “Yes，”

　　Tim told them each time.

　　After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

　　1．Why did the two boys go to the sea?

　　A．to go boat rowing.

　　Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value．The concept dates back to 1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed．IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another．For example, if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights．If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use．Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature．

　　In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet．Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store．In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it．However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet．This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights．

　　．According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to ____

　　__．

　　A．those creating music, art and literature

　　B．novelists

　　C．engineers and inventors

　　D．those not receiving financial reward for their work

　　．What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?

　　A．It makes IP rights harder to protect．

　　B．It sells songs and films．

　　C．It does not affect the way we understand IP rights． D．It prevents the production of artwork．

　　．According to Paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?

　　A．Intellectual property rights．

　　B．The Internet．

　　C．Free downloading．

　　D．The large number of songs, films and books．

　　．A possible title for this passage could be _____

　　_．

　　A．A History of IP Rights

　　B．Ways to Protect Your IP Rights

　　C．The Present and the Future of IP

　　D．IP Rights and Our Attitudes答案—4、C A C D

　　The Basics of Math—Made Clear

　　Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.

　　The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics,

　　and how these operations can be used practically.

　　Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.

　　By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.

　　Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America”， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learner­friendlier and less scary.

　　With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make­up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.

　　If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

　　1．What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?

　　A．Algebra.B．College Mathematics.

　　C．Arithmetic.D．Mathematics Education.

　　．What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?

　　A．Stronger imaginative ability.B．Additional presentation skills.

　　C．More mathematical confidence.D．Greater chances of becoming teachers.

　　．What can we learn about Professor H．Siegel?

　　A．He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.

　　B．He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.

　　C．He works in Georgia State University.

　　D．He specializes in training teachers.

　　．Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

　　A．A news report.B．A book review.

　　C．A lesson plan.D．An advertisement.

　　【要点综述】本文主要介绍了一个数学课程，从课程内容、功能用途、预期目标、主讲人等方面做了详细说明，是一则招生广告。

　　. C　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic.”可知此题答案为C。

　　. C　细节理解题。本题考查课程的功能作用。第四段整体在讲述该课程的功能作用。只有C项为本段中讲述的。其他项均未涉及。

　　. B　推理判断题。本题适合用排除法对四个选项进行排除。文中只说明他是被Kentucky Educational Television评为美国最好的数学教师，并没说明他是在电视台做客座讲师；文中也谈到他在Georgia State University取得博士学位，而他是在Central Arizona College教数学。他的课是为future primary school teachers做准备，而不是直接培训教师。本文只谈到他一个教师，所以推断应该是唯一教师。结合第一段数学课程是由30个讲座构成，所以选B。

　　. D　推理判断题。根据最后一段 “If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.”可知，此课程为收费课程，应是招生广告。所以选D。
