　　The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

　　—— Thomas

　　Macaulay

　　About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave a math 1

　　to our class. When the papers were

　　2 , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the

　　3

　　mistakes throughout the test.

　　There is nothing really new about

　　4

　　in exams. Perhaps that was

　　5

　　Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to

　　6

　　after class. I was one of the twelve.

　　Mrs. O’Neill asked

　　7

　　questions, and she didn’t

　　8

　　us, either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the

　　9

　　words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

　　I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for

　　10

　　I can say: it was the most important single

　　11

　　of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they

　　12

　　seem to me the best yardstick (准绳) now because they give us a way to

　　13

　　ourselves rather than others.

　　14

　　of us are asked to make

　　15

　　decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called

　　16

　　daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet,

　　17

　　in the street, be put into a pocket or

　　18

　　to the policeman? Should the

　　19

　　change received at the store be forgotten or

　　20

　　? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.

　　Each morning during a fifteenminute bath, I determined to cultivate a big, happy smile. I found out, however, that it couldn't be a

　　II阅读 (共两节，满分30分)

　　第一节 阅读理解 (共1小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.

　　Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.

　　“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.

　　Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.

　　Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.

　　A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower. 31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. Students buy the time of their showers.

　　B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.

　　C. If money runs out, there will be no water.

　　D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.

　　32. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.

　　A. fault

　　B. advantage

　　C. pity

　　D. perfection

　　33. Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.

　　A. a quarter

　　B. one third

　　C. one half

　　D．two thirds

　　34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

　　A. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness

　　B. the new operation can solve the water crisis

　　C. a similar operation has been set in other universities

　　D. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system

　　35. In which column can you find this passage?

　　A. Culture.

　　B. Society.

　　C. Campus Life.

　　D. Lifestyle.

　　【答案】

　　D

　　A

　　C

　　A

　　C

　　试题分析：文章大意：本文是讲武汉大学为增加学生节约用水的意识而对澡堂采取的一项新措举：洗澡按时计费。 A词义猜测题。根据后文you can not buy extra time on the ID card，说明flaw肯定为“缺陷，纰漏”之意，即fault“错误；缺陷”。 C细节理解题。由第一段最后一句的两个数字进行比较The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.可得出答案C、水能节约一半。

　　A推理判断题。由文章的前两句得知colleges这种新的措施是想让students 增强节 约用水的意识。但并不能说解决水危机问题，所以答案选择A。

　　C猜测题。猜文章的出处，本文主要介绍大学就洗澡用水问题采取的一种新举措。所以应出现于校园生活栏目，选择C。 考点：考查日常生活类短文阅读

　　B

　　When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

　　One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

　　I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.

　　In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

　　36．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．

　　A. explanation

　　B. definition C. introduction

　　D. comment

　　37．We can learn from the passage that ________.

　　A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” model

　　B. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” model

　　C. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” model

　　D. the “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient

　　38．In most US universities，________.

　　A. college students are offered the co-op program

　　B. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits

　　C. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation

　　D. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

　　39．We can infer that________.

　　A. the author is a college professor

　　B. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

　　C. the author considers the university education quality very important

　　D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students

　　40．Which of the following can be the best title?

　　A. It’s time to shorten the learning process

　　B. Best learning takes place over time

　　C. University education should be watered down

　　D. College education calls for reform

　　【答案】

　　C

　　A

　　D

　　C

　　B

　　A细节理解题。根据第二段中的Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model可知几乎没有几所美国大学认可“三年本科学位”模式。

　　D细节理解题。根据第三段中的most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early可知特别优秀的大学生可以提前毕业。

　　C推理判断题。在第四段作者给出了自己的观点，从“A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major...”“It is not a good idea to water down education”等处可以看出作者非常看重大学教育质量。

　　B主旨大意题。作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，学好大学功课是需要付出时间的，故B项最佳。

　　第二节 【北京市东城区2015届高三上学期期末教学统一检测】

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Reforestation

　　Around the world there is an increase in the demand for reforestation. This is because the consumption of the forests has affected not only the animals living in the area but also the people. And reforestation is about the rebuilding of the forests that have been severely destroyed. It can offer a lot of benefits when the recreation is successful.

　　41

　　This includes collecting seedlings(幼苗) that are native in the area to make sure that there is a natural reconstruction of the area. Some additional trees which are not native in the area also need to be planted.

　　42

　　The importance of having multiple species of trees is considered to make sure that the needs of other species that will live and grow in the area are met.

　　Destroying a forest is easy but rebuilding it is really hard.

　　43

　　The plan must include accurate spacing on plants and trees. This is to ensure that they won’t cover each other while they grow.

　　44

　　The forest greatly helps in the reduction of the air pollution. Trees are responsible for the production of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide.

　　45

　　It is there for a reason just like everyone else on this planet.

　　There cannot be a better way to restore the balance of nature than to increase the forest area. We must remember that the forest is a natural habitat of wide variety of animals and plants. In this manner, there is no substitute for reforestation.

　　A. And global warming will speed up the destruction of forests.

　　B. Keep in mind that you can’t just plant the seedlings anywhere.

　　C. Recreations won’t work until all these details have been considered.

　　D. So a good plan is needed to make the reforestation a successful one.

　　E. The forest also protects us from typhoons and other natural disasters.

　　F. There are many things to be done when it comes to this type of effort.

　　G. It is important to make sure that they are suited to the climate and the type of soil.

　　【答案】

　　F

　　G

　　D

　　B

　　E

　　考查上下文的语境理解。根据上文Some additional trees which are not native in the area also need to be planted. 一些额外的树，而不是土生土长的在该地区也还需要种植。再根据下文The importance of having multiple species of trees is considered to make sure that the needs of other species that will live and grow in the area are met. 拥有多个种类的树木的重要性被认为是确保满足的将生活和成长在该地区的其他物种的需要。这些都反应出其他树在该地区的成长很重要，故选G。

　　考查上下文的语境理解。结合下文The plan must include accurate spacing on plants and trees. 该计划必须包括在植物和树木的准确间距。the plan是承接之前提出的，对此做以解释，故可知上文提到plan，故选D。

　　考查上下文语境的理解。根据上文This is to ensure that they won’t cover each other while they grow.。这是为了确保当他们长大时，他们不会相互遮掩住。这句话是对之前的计划目的的说明，故可推知接下来，作者再次强调注意间距问题，故选B。

　　The forest greatly helps in the reduction of the air pollution. Trees are responsible for the production of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide. 森林大大有助于减少空气污染。树木是负责氧气的生产和二氧化碳的吸收。由此可知这是指森林的好处之一，故选E。
