Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cant tell the differences between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of greena strange world in deed.Color blindness in human beings is strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions very small things called “cones”. These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.

Most episodes of absent-minded-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention,says Schacter.“Youre supposed to remember something,but you havent encoded it deeply.”Encoding,Schacter explains,is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later.Failure to encode properly can create annoying situation.If you put your mobile phone in a pocket,for example,and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation,youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe(衣柜).“Your memory itself isnt failing you,” says Schacter,“Rather,you didnt give your memory system the information it needed.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.“A man who recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,”says Zelinski,“may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.”Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they are more interested in whats happening around them,and memory relies on just that.Visual cues(提示)can help prevent absent-mindedness,says Schacter.“But be sure the cue is clear and available,”he cautions.If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch,put the bill bottle on the kitchen table-dont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness:walking into a room and wondering why youre there.Most likely,you were thinking about something else.“Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski.The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room,and youll likely remember.5What does the underlined word “episode” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.

Feelings.6According to the passage,women have better memories than men probably because .A. they have a wider range of interestsB. they always put things where they wereC. they pay more attention to their environmentD. they prefer to write notes to tell them what they should do7What can help prevent absent-mindedness according to Schacter?A. Writing notes. B. Taking some medicine.C. Putting something in sight. D. Returning to where you were.8What is the best title for the text?A. A Way of Recalling. B. The Importance of Encoding.C. Cures for Absent-mindedness. D. Causes of Absent-mindedness. Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, youre more likely to listen to advise about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with an audiences emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.9Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.10How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.11What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.12An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _.A. ethos B. pathos C. logos D. a combination of all three Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But whats taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工) decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but its not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we arent spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.13What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.14What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Creative. B. Enthusiastic. C. Well-behaved. D. Experienced.15According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.16Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites. 二、完形填空An old man was dying. One by one his relatives visited him.

One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces.39And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as Im not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car.40Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless.41People who are informed of the rails use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities. 四、短文改错42假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，下文就是你同桌的一篇作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。 Now Id like to share with you a strange experience I had a month before.It may sound funny,and its true.After a days hard work I went to bed early than usual.It was about two oclock in the morning,and suddenly I woke up.I heard a noise.I got out of bed and went slow downstairs.I listened carefully.I could heard two men speaking quietly.I believed two thieves had broken into my house and I was really frightened,so I went back to upstairs,and immediately phone the police from my bedroom.The police arrived quickly.They opened front door with a special key and went into the living room.You can imagine what embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me we had turned the television off for me and everything was all right. 五、书面表达43假如你是学生会主席张凡，学校安排你给即将到你校任教的外籍教师Martin推荐一名学生助手。请根据以下要点给他写封推荐信。要点如下：1.欢迎Martin的到来；2.推荐李华为学生助手（高二年级学生， 17岁）3.介绍李华当助手的优势（电脑，沟通能力，热心助人，英语水平）注意事项：1. 词数不少于100.2.开头和结尾已给出， 不计入总词数。3.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。参考词汇：助手 assistantDear Martin,_ Yours sincerely, Zhang Fan为充分发动群众积极参与到扫黑除恶工作中来，束城镇通过由包片班子成员、包村干部、村书记召开各村群众大会广泛宣传动员、公布全镇扫黑除恶举报电话、邮箱和纪委举报等方式，增强人民群众通黑恶势力做斗争的决心，在全镇范围内营造了全民扫黑除恶的浓厚氛围参考答案 1D2A3B4A【解析】这是一篇科技说明文。本文介绍了色盲以及我们的眼睛是如何区分颜色和形状的。1D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了色盲以及我们的眼睛是通过什么来区分颜色和形状的，故选D。2A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In a single eye there are millions very small things called “cones”.
