　　(2016·哈尔滨市第六中学月考)Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish (完美): “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

　　Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

　　4．According to the passage, a man's shopping is based on ________.

　　A．his money B．his hobbies

　　C．his need

　　D．his friends

　　解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A man goes shopping because he needs something.”可知，男士买东西是出于需要，故选C。

　　5．Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress?

　　A．Because she wants to buy a dress that everyone thinks suits her.

　　B．Because she doesn't know how to buy a dress.

　　C．Because she doesn't know whether to buy it or not.

　　D．Because she wants to show herself off in public.

　　解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.”可知选A。

　　6．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Most men have patience with trying clothes on while the shop doesn't have exactly what he wants.

　　B．Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress.

　　C．A woman's shopping is based on her need.

　　D．A man doesn't pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy.

　　7．The passage mainly talks about the ________ between men shoppers and women shoppers for clothes.

　　A．similarities

　　C．varieties

　　D．intentions

　　(2016·哈尔滨市第三中学一模)Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip­readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”. The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.

　　Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face­time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.

　　But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen­Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4,6,8,10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4­month­olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6­month­olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8­and 10­month­olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes.

　　But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12­month­olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语) that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.

　　The continued lip­reading shows the 1­year­olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”， says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项科学发现：婴儿不仅仅通过听声音来学习说话，他们还会通过观察说话者的口型来学习讲话。

　　8．According to the first paragraph, babies________.

　　A．might get its voice “mama” by lip­reading

　　B．learn to talk just from hearing the sounds

　　C．like to figure out how to shape their lips

　　D．communicate with parents through gestures

　　解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“They are lip­readers too ...that first ‘mama’ or‘dada’．”可知，婴儿可能会通过读唇的方式发出“mama”的声音。故答案选A。

　　9．What is necessary in developing babies' speech according to Lewkowicz?

　　A．Playing baby DVD nearby.

　　B．Teaching babies to read English.

　　C．Speaking with babies face to face.

　　D．Speaking different languages in front of babies.

　　解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句及第二段第三句中的“It offers more evidence ...important for speech development”可推知，在婴儿的语言发展阶段，跟婴儿面对面讲话是有必要的。故答案选C。

　　10．Which of the following shows the right change of babies' eye gaze according to the text?

　　解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后四句“They found that ...the speaker's eyes.”并结合所给选项可知，A项坐标图符合文中的描述。故答案选A。

　　11．What would be the best title of the text?

　　A．Babies Have Different Methods to Talk

　　B．Babies Try Lip­reading in Learning to Talk

　　C．Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two Languages

　　D．Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language

　　解析：选B　标题归纳题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍了一项科学发现：婴儿不仅仅通过听声，还通过观察说话者的口型来学习说话。B项概括了文章主旨。故答案选B。

　　(2016·甘肃省高三第一次诊断)Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, but I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.

　　When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.

　　Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. I loved him beyond all reason.

　　I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.

　　For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.

　　All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.

　　My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.

　　No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprising silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.

　　I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds are, I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。年仅13岁的作者承受着家庭的变故且失去了自己心爱的小马，她感到痛苦、孤独。后来，父亲又给她买了一匹马Cowboy，它虽长得丑却给作者带来了许多安慰。在一场比赛中作者明白：只要努力奋斗，每个人都可以主宰自己的命运。

　　12．Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?

　　A．Because she loved horses more than anything else.

　　B．Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.

　　C．Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.

　　D．Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.

　　解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，13岁的作者承受着家庭的变故；第二段中介绍作者失去棕色的小矮种马后的伤心与孤独，由此可推知，尽管父亲给她新买的马Cowboy很丑，她还是喜欢有它的陪伴，故选择D项。

　　13．The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because________.

　　A．they didn't expect Cowboy would win the event

　　B．they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event

　　C．they didn't like Cowboy, for it was too ugly

　　D．they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy

　　解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第六段中的“One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse ... the blue ribbons.”和倒数第二段中的“The end of our run was met with surprising silence.”可知，Becky夺冠是众望所归，所以当作者和其貌不扬的Cowboy获胜时，人们感到非常意外，一下都变得沉默了。

　　14．After the competition, the author came to realize that________.

　　A．she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems

　　B．it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better

　　C．she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons

　　D．she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At thirteen ... the owner of my fate.”可知，作者意识到自己通过足够的努力可以主宰自己的命运。

　　15．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．all of their hard training was totally in vain

　　B．a blue ribbon must be the second highest prize

　　C．Cowboy lost in the events of being judged by appearance

　　D．both Becky and the author won the jumping event

　　解析：选C　推理判断题。第三段的第一句表示Cowboy是世界上最丑的马，结合第四段中的“When Cowboy and I entered the events where ... quickly ‘shown the gate’．”可知，在外形比赛中Cowboy输了。

　　(2016·南昌市高三一模)We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. __1__ In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

　　How a speaker moves is important. Whole­body movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

　　__2__ But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

　　With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. __3__ The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

　　__4__ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

　　__5__ Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.

　　A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

　　B．So they have trouble with eye contact.

　　C．An important part of public speaking is practice.

　　D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

　　E．A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.

　　F．Improve your public speaking with body language.

　　G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

　　3．Although/Though　根据句意可知，尽管Mark Zuckerberg的汉语说得远不够完美，但是师生们还是为他的努力而感到高兴。两个分句之间是让步关系，故填Although/Though。

　　4．languages　根据语境可知，Clayton Dube表扬Mark Zuckerberg的努力，他认为更多的美国CEO应该学习外语。此处的“外语”是复数含义。故填languages。

　　5．means　根据句中动词“begin”和“do”的时态可判断，此处应用一般现在时。不定式“To speak Chinese”作主语，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填means。

　　6．organized　根据句意可知，此处指学习汉语可以让人开始理解说汉语的人怎样组织这个世界。have sth. done“让……被做”，为习惯用法。故填organized。

　　7．as　根据句意可知，此处指汉语能否代替英语成为国际性语言。replace ... as ...“替代……成为……”，为固定用法。故填as。

　　8．largest　根据句意可知，中国可能不久就会超越美国成为世界上最大的经济体。故填形容词最高级形式largest。

　　9．the　名词language前有Chinese修饰时，需要使用定冠词the，特指汉语这种语言。故填the。

　　10．American　修饰college students用形容词American(美国的，美国人的)。
