閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty．This was Stephen Hawking．I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his Phd degree．

But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73．Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive．He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship．

Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study．Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University．He was said to be a “l(fā)azy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement．Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well．But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began．In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32．

The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits．Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested． However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理論) has been to confirm and build on his idea． He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists．

1.What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?

A． His brilliant research．

B． His bestselling books．

C． His serious disease．

D． His defeating hardship．

2.What made Stephen Hawking start his research career at Cambridge?

A． His death sentence．

B． His “l(fā)azy” attitude．

C． His above-average talent and ability．

D． His rich experience．

3.It can be inferred that Stephen Hawking was born ________．

A． in the early 1940s

B． in the late 1940s

C． in the early 1930s

D． in the late 1930s

4.What can we learn from the text?

A． Hawking’s theory was proved years ago．

B． Hawking was not as successful as Newton．

C． String theory built on Hawking’s idea．

D． Hawking’s theory has had little influence on others．

5.Which of the following is Not True according the passage?

A． He achieved one success after another in his career despite his disease．

B． He couldn’t walk when the author first met him at Cambridge．

C． He not only survived his disease but contributed greatly to science．

D． He is among the greatest scientists to improve the knowledge of gravity．

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true．This did not apply to F．Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land． Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose．He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion．It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous．

Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot．He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies．The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it．He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script（劇本）to screen too much．His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental（感傷的）．

Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall．In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald． At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited． As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public． He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up．His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally．He seemed unsure about his life．

Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan．However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”．Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life．He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”．His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer．

1.Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?

A． He was not talented in screenwriting．

B． He had a miserable family life．

C． He spent too much time watching movies．

D． He was greedy for money in his life．

2.Fitzgerald’s screenwriting was _____．

A． disappointing in ending

B． complex in plot

C． playful in tone

D． simple in dialogue

3.Which of the following was NOT written by Fitzgerald?

A． The Great Gatsby B． Babylon Revisited

C． The Light of Heart D． Cosmopolitan

4.When Fitzgerald had another chance at success, he ______．

A． took full advantage of it

B． went back home to start business

C． refused to make changes

D． started to write songs and poems

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A． Fallen for Fame Addiction: F．Scott Fitzgerald

B． An Inch into Fame: F．Scott Fitzgerald

C． F．Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Novelist

D． F．Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Screenwriter

科目：高中英語 來源：2015年廣東茂名高三模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．

About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威脅） business．

"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．

Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，F(xiàn)ull Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（創(chuàng)新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．

Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．

"Aesthetics(美學(xué)) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．

Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．

1.According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．

A． skill shortages could threaten business

B． engineering graduates are not as creative as expected

C． there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．

D． the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

2.According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth，_______ ．

A． engineers should cooperate with arts majors

B． Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering

C． engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work

D． engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before

3.By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．

A． stress the importance of arts

B． stress the importance of marketing

C． stress the importance of communication

D． stress the importance of science and technology

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A． More university students should study arts instead of engineering．

B． Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．

C． The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．

D． Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A． Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．

B． The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．

C． University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．

D． Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。

According to statistics published by the University of Scranton，about 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year’s resolutions------and the most popular resolution is losing weight. Of those who make resolutions，a mere 8 percent achieve them.

___1.___ Are we just setting ourselves up for failure? Learn how to make realistic resolutions and how to overcome the roadblocks along the way.

Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn’t a goal that’s achievable now. It may be a good long-term goal. ___2.___ Registered dietitian Elisa Zied says”… to be real when you make a resolution. It’s okay to shoot for the stars like making a resolution，but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?”

The same concept applies to weight loss. ___3.___ These goals should help develop healthy habits that will finally help achieve your long-term resolution.

Notice that these goals are simple and achievable. “Instead of going from zero to 60，from never going to the gym to going four to five times a week，why not start with three days a week，get consistent and build from there，” Zied says. Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active. ___4.___

You also need to be aware of your current exercise and eating habits to make achievable goals. Keeping a diary of your food and exercise habits can help. Record everything you eat and drink for three to five days and review it. ___5.___For example，if you notice a tendency to snack on unhealthy fare，set a goal to eat a fruit or vegetable with each snack. Building on these smaller goals over time can help you achieve your long-term goal.

A． So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?

B． Once you notice your not-so-good habits，start fixing them.

C． Set between one to three weekly goals that you want to achieve.

D． Resolutions usually involve a commitment to sticking to your goals.

E． However，in order to reach it，you need to take baby steps to get it down.

F． If you treat your goals like set appointment，you’re more likely to achieve them.

G． Losing weight，as well as getting a better job，is among the most popular resolutions for adults.
