1、武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题34第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）AIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is
2、 all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a lit
3、tle politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no
4、means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in
5、time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. U
6、nfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.21.

14、cademy Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.For English language students, youll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world.

15、 on learning the language through fun and participation. Instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.The UKs boarding schools also
16、 offer excellent teaching, facilities and support.

21、fraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didnt weaken Helfgotts musical gift: When he was rediscover
22、ed, he was playing concertos(协奏曲) in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations(提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothings more powerful than the love between a parent and a child.

29、e night. But would you still think it is relaxing if you knew that it damages or destroys your sleep? Scientists say thats exactly what it does.In ancient times, when there were no lamps, telephones or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as
30、 a signal to start producing melatonin(褪黑素), a chemical that helps us sleep.However, a healthy amount of melatonin can only be produced in complete darkness. Any light in your bedroom even the one on the alarm clock or the charging indicator on your cellphone could disturb the process, not to mentio
31、n something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens. We tend to hold these much closer than a television or a laptop, which allows them to shoot far more light straight into our eyes.“This is particularly worrisome in populations such as young adults and adolescents, who already tend to be night ow
32、ls,” said researcher Brittany Wood at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “Lack of sleep among teens is leading to depression, selfharm, low concentration and poor performance at school,” she added.While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect. Our eyes are part
33、icularly sensitive to blue light, which is common during the day. Most of the light coming from electronic screens is blue light and it fools our brain into thinking its still daytime. By contrast, orange or red light has less influence on melatonin production, because our brains recognize it as a s
34、ignal that the day is ending, according to The Telegraph.Asking yourself to keep your hands off your smartphone before bedtime might seem unreasonable, but you should at least remember to dim the screen or hold it farther away from your eyes. You could also wear a pair of orange sunglasses that take
35、 away the harmful blue light.33.

The lighter it is, the more melatonin will be produced.C. The more melatonin you have, the worse youll sleep.D. The more electrical equipment you have, the mor
37、e melatonin will be produced.35. In the writers opinion, which is a correct suggestion?A. You should go to bed when the sun goes down.B. You should use an orange or red light electronic screen.C. You should wear a pair of blue sunglasses when sleeping.D. You should avoid blue light as possible as yo
