But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble
107、 with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She
108、 was his fathers only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade. Of course as soon as she became Mrs.
109、 Parks, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brothers opinion.Hilary discovered his aunts address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilarys star shone again
110、, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was no
111、w going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.Will? she said, yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.Didnt you make another will when you were married? Hilary asked.His aunt shook
112、her head. No, she said in a low voice, There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will
113、must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunts only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilarys problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. T

So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must
116、do a great kindness to the poor old woman. One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.Thank you, his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. I
117、 want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Dont blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldnt
118、 marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me.Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, youll get nothing.No, Hilary, dont try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I dont want to know. Good night, Hilary.Then, very c

After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know Im going to have to put you in priso

131、stupidly? Go to bed.” In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mothers strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mothers face
132、was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table.

170、single, it quickly goes around the world. Now scientists have discovered the same thing happens with the songs of another creature-the humpback whale. The mammals become absorbed by new tunes just like people do, and the most popular original whale songs spread globally like hit singles. Male humpba
171、ck whales are famed for the loud, long and complicated songs they make during the mating season. Each song lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and the males can sing nonstop for 24 hours. At any one time, all the males in a population sing the same song. But a study shows that this song changes over time and
172、 spreads around the oceans. Dr. Ellen Garland of Queensland University, said: “Songs move like cultural communication from one population to another, causing all males to change their song to a new version.” Researchers recorded songs from six neighboring populations of whales in the Pacific over a
173、decade. They found that new versions of the songs appear over time and always spread from west to east. It takes two years for songs that appear in the waters off Australia to be heard in French Polynesia. Most of the new songs contain material from the previous year mixed with something new. “ It w
174、ould be like getting an old Beatles song together with U2,” she said. “ Occasionally they completely throw the current song out of the window and start singing a completely new song”. Dr. Garland believes that a small number of whales may migrate to other populations carrying the new songs with them
175、, or that they are heard by passing whales. The researchers suspect whales adopt new songs to make themselves distinct. Dr. Garland said: “ we think this male search for new songs is in the hope of being that little bit different and perhaps more attractive to the opposite sex.”43. What is the main

479、是议论文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福,我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。【答案解析】61.选B。细节理解题。由文章第一段中的.which seems to get rarer the older we get.可知,人们越老越觉得很难获得幸福。62.选A。推理判断题。在第五段作者讲述了自己的幸福观;在第六段作者讲述了自己因能够不受打扰地写作而感到幸福,安静过后一家人在一起喧闹也感到幸福。由此可知作者对日常生活是容易满足的。63.选A。推理判断题。由文章第七段中的She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe
480、 this is what satisfied her.可知,祖母有一群亲密的朋友和家人,或许她正是因此而满足。由此可以推断出,祖母的幸福来自对生活的适度期盼。64.选C。细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段最后一句可知,我们追逐幸福并以财富和成功来衡量它,却没注意到那些拥有财富和成功的人们并不一定更幸福。由此可知,以财富和成功来衡量幸福的人其实是对幸福施加了太多的压力。65.选D。主旨大意题。从作者对于幸福的论述我们可以看出,幸福就是对于自己已经拥有的感到满足,而过分追求财富和成功只能给自己更大的压力,由此我们得出答案为D。【英语卷(解析)2014年山东省日照一中高三10月第一次阶段复习质量达标检测

623、 of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rul
624、es that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There a
625、re, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the f
626、orces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take mor
627、e time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.66.

699、一段第一句,popular belief = we usually think。第一、二句的大意为:当我们担心谁会刺探人们的隐私时,通常会认为是联邦密探。但每一次都是私营部门胜过了政府。接着,作者举例说某个公司正在面对电话窃听的控告,银行把顾客的私人的金融信息透露给电话营销公司。我们可以推断,刺探私人隐私的不是政府,而是主要集中在商业领域,所以选B. is more common in business circles在商业界更加流行。64. 本题问我们从文中可以知道什么?必须对每个选项进行仔细推敲,否则难以进行准确定位。选项A和D都与立法议员有关,但D中law-maker是第二段第二句出现的
700、legislators的替换词,它更有可能是答案。第二段的大意为:消费者的积极分子正在推动国会通过更好的隐私保护法,但到目前为止没什么结果。立法议员们倾向于让商人几乎是随意地追踪我们(消费者)的消费习惯。因此,最后选定与此意思相一致的D。65. 本题是问:免费试用期结束之后,发生什么样的情况你将会在没有通知时因某项产品或服务被收费?根据关键词free trial定位到第四段第二、三句,大意为:接受免费试用服务的顾客有30天的时间可以取消它。如果最后期限过了,就会通过银行或信用卡帐户自动对顾客收费。也就是说,顾客如果在指定期限内不取消服务,就会被自动扣费。显然应该选B, you fail to
701、cancel it within the specified period你没有在指定期限内取消服务。题干中without notice = automatically; the specified period = 30 days。66.选A,本题是问企业不把个人银行帐户的信息看作是私人信息的原因是什么?根据关键词Businesses / personal bank accounts定位到文章倒数第二段,其大意为:企业利用你的个人帐户获利,你却几乎无法得到保护。比如说,没有哪一部联邦法律保护 (shields)“交易往来”信息主要是你的银行和信用卡帐户的细节。私人公司还出售社会保险号码,它们
702、一般会同意不向公众出售。但对于企业来说,这些号码是公开的信息。(也就是说可以向企业销售)行业自律是不起作用的,一家公司也许会发布隐私保护政策,但是谁去实施它呢?另外,再根据第六段内容The company denies that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. 综合判断,应该选A, it is considered “transaction and experience ” information unprotected by law这些信息被(企
703、业)认为是不被法律保护的“交易往来”信息。【英语卷(解析)2015届江苏省启东中学高三上学期第一次月考(201410)】BIt is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties.

He seemed
706、most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine,
707、and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isnt it?” I remarked, in passing. Then, suddenly somet

777、th reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide d
778、iversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond ones own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations
779、was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are
780、, I believe, three culprits(肇事者):poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of p

Writing po
786、ems to share with friends and relations was, .”可知,在十九世纪读诗是一种社会行为,因为人们读诗写诗都是和朋友以及与自己有关的人分享,也就是说读诗在人们之间建立起一种联系,故答案为A10.C词义猜测题。由第二段 “It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure,”可知,在十九世纪,没有电视
787、机、电影院和宽带网,然而诗歌是快乐的源泉,因此可以推断,电视机、电影院和宽带网提供的是娱乐,故答案为C。11.D细节题。由倒数第二段 “Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.”可知,读者与诗歌之间产生了鸿沟主要是因为诗歌很难读懂,故答案为D。12.B推理题。最后一段的首句也就是该段的主题句 “Poets failed the reader, s
788、o did teachers.”,除了诗歌自身令读者难以理解外,教师也是一个因素。该段后面的内容对此句话进行了说明 “They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something.” 教师想让学生知道诗歌的写作技巧,想让学生看到诗歌意味着某些东西。从作者的语气可以推断,作者对教师在学校里教授诗歌的方式进行了质疑。故答案为B。【英语卷(解析)2015届河南省实验中学高三上学期第一次月考(201410)】

976、3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveedun Train. A
977、lthough it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto
978、 each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension. But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term stud
979、ies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful. The question of possible harm in modern 3
980、-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experim
981、ent. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers. With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and
982、more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.47. According to the text, 3-D technology _A. was refused by people when it

998、on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said. Scientists are working to use that energ
999、y to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(涟漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending
1000、it off on a journey.” When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮机). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity. “The resource is huge,” said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute.
1001、 “We will never run out of wave power.” Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three quarters of the Earths surfacethat would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak po

What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “Demand for energy to power

1034、even frogs change their calls in noisy environments, the impact of human-made noise on insects has been neglected until now. Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germany caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers, half from quiet locations and half from beside busy roads. The
1035、 grasshoppers use their song to attract mates. The team then studied the differences in the two groups songs in the laboratory. To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper, and then recorded their courtship songs. Analysis of almost 1,000 recordings revealed grasshoppers
1036、 living beside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations. According to Lampe: Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and high frequency components. We found that grasshoppers from noisy habitats increase the volume of the lower-frequency part of their
1037、song, which makes sense since road noise can mask signals in this part of the frequency spectrum(频谱). The teams findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshoppers mating system(交配系统). Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways. It could pr

1048、, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldnt get going in the morning,” she says. “Id get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and w
1049、inter, and she saw the light-literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Amer
1050、icans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But theres never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, its hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on.
1051、Thats why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo(安慰剂) effects.Until now. In three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than
1052、 in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that emits negatively charged ions. The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows.
1053、“Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the bodys internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is

Hundreds of thousands of otherwise cautious and rational (理性的) people have been brainwashed by their impassioned speeches and become bankrupt as a result.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side
1066、 of emotional intelligence. A study by the University of Cambridge found that when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to look over the message and remembered less of the content.Researchers call this the “awestruck effect” (敬畏效应), but it may just as e
1067、asily be described as the dumbstruck effect, says The Atlantic article. Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our ability to reason. If they have self-serving motives, or their values are out of step with our own, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon of manipulation and the results can be des
1068、troyed.Another recent study from Kyoto University shows that people with high interpersonal EQ influence others emotions based on their own goals.A research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff shed more light on this dark side of emotional intelligence. According to them,
1069、emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Emotionally intelligent people “intentionally shape their emotions to leave favorable impressions of themselves”, Kilduffs team writes in the journal Research in Organizational Behavior.

1076、d that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that peo
1077、ple who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can have a substantial impact on public
1078、 health, said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.However, its too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health, Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and its possible that other factors coul
1079、d explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better
1080、 health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.Because the study looked at only Englandan island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coastits not clear whether the findings would apply to ot
1081、her populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesnt prove that peoples health and the place they live are linked, its possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.If future studies confirm the results
1082、, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.25. We can conclude from the passage that _. A. people living near th
