Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. Youve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they werent honest, you wouldnt be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didnt get as much as“thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what ever was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasnt been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofers Brewery was right next to where the WaldorfAstoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesnt make any difference whatever they call it; its still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.【文章大意】本文講述的是一名出租車司機(jī)一直相信誠實(shí)是一件最棒的禮物,并且在生活中一直以此為準(zhǔn)則。1Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?AThey have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.BTaxicab drivers are dishonest.CMost taxicab drivers are tough fellows.DSome taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段第二句中的“Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows”和第三句中的“so people get the wrong impression that they are bad”可知,答案為C。2How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?ABy giving her a call and visiting her.BBy sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.CBy advertising in the papers.DBy going back to where she got off and tracing her down for almost 2 days.D解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)文章第三段第二句中的“I went back to where I had dropped her”和第三句“It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her.”可知,答案為D。3How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?AProud and satisfied.BAnnoyed and stressful.CDisappointed and discouraged.DUnwilling and regretful.A解析:觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。 根據(jù)文章第五段中的“I did pretty well”和“I have never had any trouble with the public,not even with drunks”可知,作者感到自豪和滿意。故答案為A。 B(2016·商丘市高三模擬)As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that freeform gesturessweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phonecan be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,”said one of the researchers of the study.“With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.”In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using freeform gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.The researchers carried out a createtestretest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use freeform gestures as passwords.To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens(觸摸屏), attempt to steal a freeform gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of freeform passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore freeform gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.【文章大意】本文主要討論的是手機(jī)密碼的安全性,介紹了一種密碼設(shè)置方式。如何保護(hù)手機(jī)密碼還有待繼續(xù)研發(fā)新的密碼設(shè)置方式。4What can we learn about freeform gestures?AThey are improving mobile security in a way.BUsers will have to make use of simple gestures.CThey will never be copied by others.DUsers must move their fingers in fixed shapes.A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第一段的These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.可知freeform gestures能夠在某種程度上提高手機(jī)的安全性。故選A。5The experiment in Paragraph 4 is to test the of freeform gestures.AtemplateBapplicationCaccuracy DsecurityD解析:推理判斷題。 根據(jù)文章第四段的None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy.

White lies may seem harmless at the time, but bending the truth is actually bad for your physical and mental health. People who consciously tried to tell fewer white lies were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. Those who told fewer lies also had better relationships and smoother social interactions overall than fibbersA team followed 110 people aged 18 to 71 years old over 10 weeks. While half of the participants were told to stop telling both major and minor lies for the duration of the study, the rest of them were given no instructions about lying.Both groups went to the lab weekly to complete health and relationship measures and to take a polygraph(測(cè)謊器) test assessing the number of major and white lies they had told during that week. Professor Anita Kelly said the average person told 11 lies a week.Results showed when those in the nolie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced four fewer mentalhealth complaints and three fewer physical complaints. In contrast, when control group members told three fewer white lies, they experienced two fewer mentalhealth complaints and one fewer physical complaint. When participants across both groups lied less in a given week, their physical and mental health was significantly better that week.Participants also realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily accomplishments rather than exaggerate, while others said they stopped making false excuses for being late or failing to complete tasks.Professor Kelly said,“We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies, and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health. Statistical analyses showed that this improvement in relationships significantly accounted for the improvement in health that was associated with less lying.”The study also found some participants learned to avoid lying by answering troubling questions with another question to distract the person.【文章大意】謊言,即使是善意的謊言,就長遠(yuǎn)來說,對(duì)一個(gè)人的人際關(guān)系和身心健康都是沒有好處的。8How can white lies influence people?AThey have no effect on people at all.BIn the long run, they are harmful to health.CThey can help build good relationships.DThey always hurt peoples feelings.B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的White lies may seem harmless at the time,but bending the truth is actually bad for your physical and mental health.可知,即使善意的謊言在當(dāng)時(shí)看似無害,但就長遠(yuǎn)來說,卻對(duì)我們的身心健康有著不良的影響。9The underlined word“fibbers”in Paragraph 2 refers to“ ”Apeople who often tell lies in daily lifeBpeople who have bad relationshipsCpeople who never tell lies to othersDpeople who hate being cheatedA解析:詞義猜測(cè)題。本句中的than比較的是兩種人,而該詞所指的人正好與who told fewer lies對(duì)應(yīng),說明此處指的是經(jīng)常撒謊的人。10According to the study, people who tell fewer lies .Afeel worse since life is no fun without liesBare worried that they wont have friendsCare likely to report better physical and mental healthDtend to make friends by working harderC解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段When participants across both groups lied less in a given week,their physical and mental health was significantly better that week.可知,撒謊較少的人的精神和身體狀況都會(huì)較好。11After the experiment, people in both groups have learnt that Athey have told too many white liesBall people are telling lies without being noticedClife cannot go on without white liesDthey shouldnt have told lies at allD解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知,實(shí)驗(yàn)過后,人們意識(shí)到撒謊的危害,同時(shí)也意識(shí)到之前他們本來就不該撒謊。D(2016·福建武平第一中學(xué)高三模擬)As a health editor, I spend the majority of my day poring over content related to health. At Huff Post, were lucky to talk to experts on a daily basis about how to live our best lives. Its clear that life would be healthier if we would just do the following things. Sure, some of these are easier said than done.1Have a bedtimeSleep is considered the third pillar(支柱) of health, and for good reason. Research is only making it increasingly clear that not getting enough of the stuff can have serious health effects. Meanwhile, getting enough sleep is good for everything ranging from weight, to mood, to even the immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)). One of the simplest things you can do to ensure you get enough sleep each night is to set a bedtime. Forgive yourself if you cant meet it every night, but make a point to try to stick to it.2Cultivate your emotional intelligence“To have emotional intelligence means to be confident, good at working towards your goals and adaptable. You recover quickly from stress.” psychologist Daniel Goleman previously told Huff Post. Its made up of five parts social skills, empathy, motivation, selfawareness and selfregulation. And fortunately, these are all traits you can cultivate. Be curious about things beyond yourself. Know what youre good at and where you can stand to improve. Try to improve your ability to pay attention.3This is something Im still working on. Im an objectively fast personfast at walking, fast at eating, fast at talking. This also makes me very impatient, and also sometimes very unobservantstopping to smell the roses has never been my strong suit. But slowing down to appreciate life and all its little moments builds gratitudeand thats a very healthy thing.4Find an exercise you actually enjoyIts not exactly a secret how much I oppositeoflike running. Ill still do it, because of health, but there are certainly other ways Id rather get my fitness in. And thats completely OK. Research has even shown that whether we think of fitness as “fun” or “exercise” affects how much we end up eating. For me, exercise is a pill best swallowed as volleyball. For you, it may be dancing, or swimming, or riding your bike. Dont think that just because you dont like “conventional” exerciserunning, going to the gym, etc.youre “bad at exercise”. No such thing!【文章大意】本文介紹了過好健康生活的四種方法:有個(gè)好的睡眠時(shí)間,培養(yǎng)情緒智力,學(xué)會(huì)花時(shí)間欣賞,尋找喜歡的鍛煉方式。12Which of the following has something to do with the immune system?AExercise.BSleep.CEmotional intelligence.

AHealthy FoodsBBring Your Own FridgeCParents should pay close attention to credit card statements.DEntering college also means youll need your fair share of electronics.EMoving to a dorm also means youll need to take charge of your finances.FThus you can stock your fridge with nutritious snacks such as yogurt, and fresh fruits.GUnlike your comfortable bedroom at home, your college dorm may seem somewhat simple.答案:1620.EDGAF第二部分英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用共兩節(jié),滿分45分第一節(jié)完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分,滿分30分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。(2016·湖北八校高三聯(lián)考)In my class, there was a really weaklooking guy. I dont 21 know if his name was Vit or Wit. I will 22 him as Wit in this story of mine. He was a pale, thin guy. Not only his build looked weak, the way he 23 was also weak. He walked slowly but he tried to stay off of everyones way. The friends in my class, Jean and Ingrid,would 24 him. Truth to be told, I 25 them as well. We did things like taking his stuff, like his pens and pencils, and 26 them somewhere in the school.Wit was also really 27 of insects, even butterfly. Jean, Ingrid, and I often put beetle on his clothes and he would run around, trying to 28 it off. There were many beetles in the school so that was the 29 insect we used to scare him with. Other insects such as butterfly were hard to 30 so we pretty much gave up on it. We would often take the 31 when Wit was offguard and put the insects on him. 32 it was on him, he would run around or jump about. He was too scared to 33 it and pull it off.Suddenly one day, we were 34 by the school. When I walked into the room, Wits mother, as well as Ingrids mother, Jeans father, and mine were 35 in the room silently. Wits mother said that Wit went home and 36 the sandbag shouting“Jean! Ingrid! Archer!” 37 every day. I wanted to laugh but didnt with all the 38 she was putting on us.She asked many things, including things I had no idea about such as“Who put Wits bag in the girl toilet?”Apparently, it was Jean who did it. Jean seemed to have bullied Wit quite a lot and got quite a(n) 39 from Wits and her own mother.I think it should have been quite guilty for 40 to see us scolded by the parents.
