   If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn't hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-ur?gent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.

   Inappropriate calls are a headache for health profession?als everywhere. In the US,prank calls to 911 happen on a dai?ly basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identities. But those who try to be funny shouldn't be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls,according to a report on the US television station KOAA-TV.

People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the calls sound. "There's no way for us to know whether the call is real,acci?dental or a prank call," said a public safety worker inter?viewed by the American TV channel.

The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says,"When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help. ” Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the se?riously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

B [2015*山西太原高三模擬]

Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job.

A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading and problem-solving.

In an office-based experiment, 88 per cent of the partici?pants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.

The study also found that 81 per cent of the participants completed their fastest work when music was played.

And it matters what type of music you listen to. For in?stance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of the participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs.

During proofreading ， dance music ， such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact on participants in?creasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests under?taken with no music at all.

Dance music also had a positive effect on spellchecking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.

The research, undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab In?ternational, suggests that silent offices may be the least pro?ductive.

"The Music Works experiment revealed a positive corre?lation between music and productivity. Overall, it showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people per?formed better," said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

5.Whose music can help you do maths homework according to the study?

A.     The music of Justin Bieber.

B.     The music of Mozart.

C.     The music of David Guetta.

played, _________ .

 

A.     88% of people worked faster

B.     81 % of people did their most accurate work

C.     90% of people worked better

D.     75 % of people completed data entry task faster

8. What can we conclude from the passage?

H.完形填空[2015 •北京市西城區(qū)高三一模]

The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School.

I was rather shy back then, content to 9 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 10 I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 11  to go to college.

But my good record soon became a 12 to my well-be?ing. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me in?to his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 13 fast. This was the 14 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.

I was 15 about the decision, finally agreeing to com?promise. I wasn't the only speaker―I would 16 the hono?ur with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 17 me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?

Graduation day soon arrived and, as 18 ，1 was nerv?ous. I'd been practising my speech for days, and I had it

19 But I had never been so 20 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 21 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes, I was 22 ， heading back to my seat.

Now I still have the 23 of that speech. My voice trembled a little,but 24 it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never 25 I spoke in front of hundreds of people. 26 I didn't realize it at that time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 27 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually  break free of my 28

I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation. But I'm glad I did. I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments.

A [2015 •河南開封高三模擬]

In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潛能)to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work towards their goals. Ameri?can parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.

American parents often encourage their children to be?come involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that on?ly through taking part in these activities can their children be?come mature young adults.

As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.

As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.

   Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.

1. From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to______________ .

A.     the social skills than Chinese parents

B.     their children's studying hard and well

C.     what their children want but they can't

D.     extra activities than schoolwork

 2. According to the passage, Chinese parents .

 A.     know more than American parents to educate their children

B.     owning ambition and confidence is necessary and im?portant

C.     pay much more attention to their children's fine future

D.     don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities

3.From the passage, we can infer .

 A.     American children are brave and adventurous

B.     American children are more active in their studies

C.     Chinese children have the ability to communicate ef?fectively

D.     something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China

4.What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education re?form?

A. Neutral.                               B. Indifferent.

C.  Positive.                            D. Negative.

Eating different coloured foods can keep you healthy, as well as change your mood and behaviour. Here is a list of colours, which can change your life.

Blue/Purple

Blue is considered to be peaceful and calm and it has the same effect on our health. The blue/purple colour in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are an?tioxidants (抗氧化劑)that are particularly heart-healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Ex?amination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.

A food and health expert says that blue and purple colour foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.

Foods that contain blue and purple colours are: red?dish eggplant (especially the skin) , blueberries, black?berries, purple grapes, etc.

Green

We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothio-cyanates, which help resist cancer.

Dr Ashok Agarwal ， a food and nutrition specialist ， explains ,"They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K， as well as carotene (胡蘿卜素).Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure.，，

Foods that contain the green colour are ： broccoli ， cab?bages ,cucumbers, etc.

Red

Lycopene (番茄紅素)in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protec?tion against heart attacks.

Dr Smith says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associ?ated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of the produce.，，

Foods that contain the red colour are: tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.

Orange

The orange foods are also rich in carotene, which is a particularly good antioxidant.  These foods are com?monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vi?tamin A.

Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in pre?venting cancer, particularly the lung and stomach canc?er. Foods that contain the orange colour are- carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.

1.The passage tries to tell us that .

A.colours mean a lot to people and their health

B.foods of different colours will have different ben?efits

C.eating foods with a colour must prevent diseases

D.what people should eat in their daily lives

2.All the colours mentioned in the passage have the function of .

A.lowering blood pressure

B.improving eyesight

C.preventing cancer

D.reducing the risk of heart disease

3.Which colour can help keep us thin according to the passage?

A.Purple.    B. Green.

C.Red. D. Orange.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that       .

A.all grapes help lower the risk of high blood pres?sure and cancer
