　　2016高考模拟题（由2017·江西卷A改编）

　　Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

　　Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

　　After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

　　Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

　　Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

　　3. A。推理题。根据文章第三段后2行Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.

　　(原创)The British people love talking about the weather. This hot summer, Europe

　　was caught in the heat wave, and many parts

　　of China were also been struggling with

　　record-breaking temperatures. Therefore,

　　there’s plenty for the British people to

　　get excited about.

　　But beside from a simple“hot”, what other ways are there to describe the summer heat? Apart from phrases like“boiling hot”, there are many interesting expressions that relate to unbearably hot weather.

　　Dog days of summer

　　In books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs go wild. But in fact, the expression comes from 16th century and refers to the days on which Sirius(天狼星)—the Dog Star—rises at the same time as the sun. The Romans associated the hot weather with this star and would sacrifice a dog every year in April to stop the anger of Sirius.

　　So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk

　　This expression needs no explanation and although its origin is unclear, it hasn’t stopped thousands of curious tourists from testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in Death Valley, California—the hottest place in the US—are now littered with broken eggshells. Early in July, the local government asked tourists to stop their cooking experiments. Even so, it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk, so long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature is at least 49℃.

　　【文章大意】本文介绍了英语中描述炎热天气的几个习语。

　　1. What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Some expressions about hot weather.

　　B. The heat wave in the world.

　　C. Sirius is associated with the hot weather.

　　D. Death Valley—the hottest place in the US.

　　【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文中第一段以幽默的方式介绍了今年夏天全球的热浪, 其目的是引出本文的中心, 故B项错误; 第二段的最后一句话是整篇文章的主题句, 故A项正确; C、D两项都是文章中的一部分, 范围小了。

　　. According to the passage, how long does“dog days of summer”last?

　　A. About one month.

　　B. About two months.

　　C. About two months and a half.

　　D. About one month and a half.

　　【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第三段的第一句In books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. 可知“dog days of summer”持续大约一个半月。

　　. What caused broken eggshells littered around sidewalks in Death Valley?

　　A. The hot weather.

　　B. The curiosity of tourists.

　　C. The permission of the local government.

　　D. The origin of the expression.

　　【解析】选B。推理判断题。由最后一段可以看出好奇的游客为了验证当地的酷热是否能够“fry an egg on the sidewalk”, 不顾当地政府的告诫, 仍然坚持做这项实验, 故B项正确。

　　. Which of the following is NOT necessary to test the last expression about hot weather?

　　A. On the sidewalk.

　　B. A frying pan with a lid.

　　C. The temperature(≥49℃).

　　D. In the hottest place.

　　【解析】选D。推理判断题。文章中提到的关于热浪的最后一个习语是“So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk”, 故A项是一个必要条件; 由最后一段的最后一句可知B、C是必要条件; D项范围太大。

　　You don't need to get in a time­traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let's see what's in store for your future shopping.

　　Try it on, virtually (虚拟地). Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app(程序) to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face. But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body.

　　You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.

　　Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone's body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using High­tech to get the most accurate measurements,

　　so they can make special clothes just for you.

　　High­tech shopping carts and checkout counters. Hightech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinect­enabled carts are currently under test.

　　The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled merely by your movement and your voice. In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet­equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles.

　　In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.

　　While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

　　(2016·成都外国语学校模拟) “Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low­carbon economy，” a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.

　　“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy，”

　　said Zhou Changyi, director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

　　“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations, they also should learn something from us, such as water conservation，” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.

　　He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom, for example, is concerned about transport, buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions.For China, the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.

　　As such, overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low­carbon emissions in the industrial section.

　　Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life cycle assessment, or LCA, which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.

　　Tobias Becker, head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China, said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.

　　LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage.For example, a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life cycle cost, while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.

　　Richard Hausmann, North East Asia CEO of Siemens, said：“The color of future industrialization is green.”

　　The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (D|S 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks, Smart Grid, over the next five years.Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.

　　A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology, advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy, reduce costs and increase reliability.The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.

　　1.The underlined word “lag”

　　in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

　　A.fall behind　 B.be superior to

　　C.attack

　　D.fear

　　2.Which of the following about LCA is TRUE?

　　A.LCA is used to study the impact on a product.

　　B.LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.

　　C.LCA shows industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental influence on its initial investment.

　　D.LCA was one of the exhibitions at this year's fair.

　　3.We can infer from the last paragraph of this passage that ________.

　　A.Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid business

　　B.Siemens received orders worth 6 billion Euros recently

　　C.Siemens will earn

　　D|S8.8 billion from intelligent power networks

　　D.Siemens' plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future

　　4.The best title for the passage is ________.

　　A.Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn from

　　Each Other

　　B.Low­Carbon Economy — a Shared Goal

　　C.Intelligent Power Networks

　　D.Two Biggest Markets for Smart Grid
