A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次聯(lián)考] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安的)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y， always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice ， the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 

  1. The  shop  assistant  insisted  that  the  writer should

A.     trust him and stop asking questions

B.     try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C.     get more information about different companies

D.     compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

 A.     He should get a 50% discount.

B.      The price of the camera would soon fall.

C.      The quality of the camera was not good.

D.     The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

 A.     knew very little about it

B.     wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C.     didn't trust the shop assistant

D.     had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

 A.     we waste too much money on cameras

B.     cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C.     we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D.     famous companies care more about profit than quality

A [文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。作者的相機(jī)壞掉了，于是他決定買一個新的。他上網(wǎng)花了十五分鐘的時間看網(wǎng)上的評論，并把推薦率最高的三部相機(jī)記了下來。買相機(jī)時，營業(yè)員執(zhí)意讓作者把他看中的相機(jī)和其他的比較一下，但是作者認(rèn)為沒有挑選的必要。

1. D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中"'No, no. But you should try it,' he said encouragingly. 'Compare it with the others."'可知， 營業(yè)員堅(jiān)持讓作者把他選的那款相機(jī)與其他的進(jìn)行比較。故選D項(xiàng)。

2. B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)"…soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop…"可知，作者把相機(jī)帶出商店之后，那個商品很快就會貶值一半。故選B項(xiàng)。

3. B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段"…you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, and the wise choice•"可知，作者想確認(rèn)自己做出了正確的選擇，因此，他才決定試一下他選的那一款相機(jī)。故選B項(xiàng)。

4. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的"…I interrupted to ask wheth?er I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well.，'可知，作者不想聽營業(yè)員向他講解那款相機(jī)的功能，于是打斷了營業(yè)員；根據(jù)"Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new?"可知，作者不認(rèn)為新的選擇會有什么新意，即可供挑選的商品雖然有很多，但它們并不會包含更多的配件或服務(wù)，說明購物時不需要太多的選擇。故選C項(xiàng)。

I.閱讀理解[2015 •哈爾濱六中二模』

The new world of today introduced new threats that were not known in the previous generations: Internet preda?tors (掠奪 者). Often we do a lot of researching, shopping, talking―just about everything online nowadays. New ad?vancements in revolution comes along with the unwanted at?tackers. There are people out there who gain pleasure from interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives wh< . ：， not rightfully theirs. But there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage. I'd like to introduce Guardian Eye.

Within this program is a complex program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whoever uses the computer. It has the ability to track and log every key?stroke, every website that has ever been accessed, take screenshots of web pages, block web pages according to con?tent and even send you messages via e-mail once conspicuous (可疑的)activities have been reported and logged. Just think, you or your children could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows. You try to click out of the win?dows but you accidentally click one which releases spy soft?ware, infecting your computer. Guardian Eye blocks unwant?ed content from popping up or appearing to the users, which I thought was extremely convenient. In this way there is not e-ven the slightest temptation.

This product helps prevent damage from being done to your computer and worse, your identity. It's quite the prod?uct and it offers a small version so you may try it out first. If you'd like the full package, it's a one-time fee of $ 39. 99 and can be installed on unlimited computers for your convenience. It's a nice deal and I'm considering getting it again considering I do a lot of writing on various websites myself.

B.     It makes them aware of conspicuous activities.

Smart phone stress： Are you a victim of "always on" cul?ture?

You're on holiday but secretly check your work e-mails the moment you wake up. You get anxious if there's no Wi-Fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. 5 And you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there. These are the typical signs of "always on" stress caused by smartphone addiction.

Work-life balance

Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh developed an app named Moment to monitor his usage of his phone. The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if self-controlled usage limits are offended. 6 "Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you."

"Always stressed"

7 You're not giving your body time to recover, so you're always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. 8 The fact that we can stay connected to the workplace wherever we are in the world is feeding deep-rooted insecurities.

Slowdown in decision

We now consume media for more hours than we sleep. 9  It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many are becoming less productive because they're flooded by it all and feel they can never escape the office.

A.Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life.

B.You get excited if you receive a text message or an e-mail

from a friend.

C.This is leading to a sort of slowdown in decision and it is creating more stress in the workplace.

D.The negative impact of "always on" culture is that your mind is never resting.

E.Physical and mental health therefore can suffer.

F. Mobile phone companies argue that mobile connectivity is beneficial.

G. You are nervous if your phone is getting low on power.

B [2015 •齊魯名校高三調(diào)研]

   As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn't good:the rate of unemployment is still more than 9 per cent,and the rate of new job growth has fallen close to zero. That's bad for the economy,of course. And it

may be especial?ly discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn't matter to you nearly as much as you think.

That's because job growth numbers don't matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人員流動)data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resig?nations ,and retirements. (Yes,people are retiring even in this economy. )In both good times and bad, staff turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007,when the economy was still moving ahead,job growth was only 132,000,while staff turnover was 4. 7 million!

And as it turns out, even today―with job growth near zero―over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don't mean to imply that overall job growth doesn't have an impact on one's ability to land a job. It's true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it's a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don't is their ability to stay motivated. They're willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labour Statis?tics data show that 2. 7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn't hunted within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don't let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the US. You can be one of them.

5.The author tends to believe that the high rate of unemployment ________ .

 A.     takes job opportunities from people

B.     prevents many people from changing careers

C.     should not stop people from looking for a job

D.     does not mean the US economy is worsening

6. What does the author say about overall job growth?

 A.     It doesn't have much effect on individual job seekers.

B.     It increases people's confidence in the economy.

C.     It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D.     It doesn't mean greater job security for the employed.

7.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?
A. Education.                           B. Intelligence.

C. Persistence.                       D. Experience.

8.What do we learn about the Bureau of Labour Statistics unemployment data?

 A.     They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B.     They provide the public with the latest information.

C.     They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

D.     They don't include those who have stopped looking for a job.

The historic centre of Vienna has been added to UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage list. Thus, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace and many oth?er historic buildings are now recognized as being among the 700 outstanding cultural and natural monuments of mankind―others include the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur, the historic centre of Rome, the Kremlin with the Red Square, the Chinese Wall, the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon.

The imperial flair of the centre of Vienna is en?hanced (加強(qiáng))by numerous churches, mansions and parks, as well as by rich art collections gathered by wealthy rulers. And the centuries-old musical tradition ranges from the Court Chapel of the Imperial Palace to Mozart's immortal (不朽的)music and the waltzes of Johann Strauss. Also inseperably linked to the centre of the city are the delights of Viennese cuisine, the gemiitlichkeit of Viennese coffeehouses and nostalgic shopping at former purveyors (伙食承辦商)to the im?perial court.

5.  Which of the following is not mentioned as cultural and natural monuments of mankind?

A.The Taj Mahal.

Few politicians have been as respected in life or honoured in death as former South African President Nelson Mandela. Since the anti-apartheid (反對種族隔離)hero and South Africa's first black president died at 95 in his Johannesburg home on Dec. 5， people around the world, no matter how different their backgrounds and political beliefs are, have been memorializing him in different languages and in different ways.

Mandela was not perfect, and the country he leaves behind still faces many problems. But despite his short?comings ,he leaves the world a heritage to treasure, said a Beijing News editorial on Saturday.

At one time,South Africawas the crudest corner of the world, having serious apartheid. At that time black and white people's living an equal life in the coun?try was an unachievable dream. Both the introduction of democracy(民主)and the avoidance of what would have in all likelihood been Africa's bloodiest civil war were regarded as missions impossible.

It was Mandela who led South Africans to put an end to apartheid, realize social harmony and build a dream nation. There may still be disagreements from time to time, but people seek to resolve their problems and differences through civilized means.

This is the most valuable heritage of Mandela, who endured 27 years of hardships in prison and walked out with new reflections and thoughts with which to guide all races to own their equal rights and interests. His perseverance and tolerance won him supporters both at home and abroad and moved even his enemies.

The reason why South Africa has realized a stable change and avoided hatred and killing between different races is the establishment of a foundation of mutual trust and recognition of the need for social order, rhe co-existence of different human races under the principle of equality and their resorting to peaceful, democratic and legal means to resolve differences are part of Mandela's memorable contribution.

Since 1999, Mandela lived a quiet and retired life. He resigned at the peak of his political life and avoided repeating the mistakes of many political figures of his time. He performed a politician's mission in an almost perfect way.

1. What can we know about the situation from the un?derlined sentence in the third paragraph?

A.It seemed difficult to realize democracy and avoid the civil war at that time.

B.Democracy could not be realized unless peoplewon the civil war.

C.The bloodiest civil war prevented the introduction of democracy toSouth Africa.

D.The introduction of democracy avoided the civil war inSouth Africa.

2.Which of the following about Mandela's contribution to his country is NOT true?

A.Mandela led his people to put an end to apartheid.

B.Mandela inspired his people to deal with problems and differences in civilized ways.

C.Mandela taught his people to realize the impor?tance of social order.

D.Mandela created a dream nation for his people without any disagreements.

3.According to the last paragraph, the writer's attitude towards Mandela's retirement is .

A. critical   B. supportive

C. indifferent  D. doubtful

4.What words can best describe Nelson Mandela ac?cording to the passage?

A.Quiet and wise.

B.Hard-working and wealthy.

C.Perseverant and selfless.

D.Brave and aggressive.
