a. areas of knowledge in a school b. people being studied in an experiment c. research topics d. animals being tested 61. it is shown in the passage that _. a. the researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviewsb. the researchers do their research in the national institutes of healthc. people hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possibled. sleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators62. whats the best title of the passage?a. the relationship between virus and cold b. how to sleep well c. good sleep helps fight a cold d. the more the sleep, the better your body【参考答案】60-62 bdc 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。napoleon bonaparte died on may 5, 1821, on the island of st. helena off the coast of africa. he was 51 years old at the time. when doctors examined napoleons body, they said that the former emperor of france had died from cancer of the stomach. that was the cause of death recorded in the official report. however, other doctors disagreed. one doctor who was present during the examination of the body said that napoleon died of hepatitis（肝炎）. other historians and medical experts have suggested that napoleon died of syphilis（梅毒）, tuberculosis（肺结核）, or perhaps malaria. now, after careful research, a british chemist thinks that napoleon might have been poisoned - not by a person, but by his wallpaper. napoleon was sent to the island of st. helena in 1815 after he lost the battle of waterloo. he was a prisoner on the island. although he had servants to attend to him, he had to live in one small building. st. helena is a very wet island, so the walls of the building were always covered with mold. napoleon became ill from spending too much time inside his house. almost constantly he had a fever, chills, and felt sick to his stomach. he often felt pain in his shoulders and in his side. his skin turned yellow. he got frequent headaches, and he would become dizzy and vomit. none of the medicine that the doctors gave napoleon seemed to help. they were not sure what was the matter. finally, napoleon was too weak to leave the house. one night, while he was sleeping, he went into a coma （昏迷）and died.many doctors who later reviewed the reports of napoleons illness found that the symptoms did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer. it seemed obvious that napoleon had died from some other cause. in 1961, a swedish doctor examined some of napoleons hair and found a high level of arsenic（砒霜）, a chemical poison. was napoleon murdered? it is doubtful. arsenic was used in many types of medicine during napoleons time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. then, in 1982, dr. david jones from england began to look into the mystery and suggested that napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. in the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. if the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. a person in the room might breathe that air. after studying the wallpaper in the room where napoleon died, dr. jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls.6. the passage says that . a. a british doctor thinks he has found the cause of napoleons death b. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of napoleons death c. napoleon could have died from poison d. all of the above7. why did napoleon live on st. helena?

a. he ate it. b. he breathed it in. c. he touched it. d. he drank it.【参考答案】610、dbdab 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。one reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation（砍伐森林） is a blank（茫然的） stare that asks the question, since i dont live there, what does it have to do with me? the answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. if you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. as many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. their loss is immeasurable. take rubber for example. for many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. synthetics are not good enough. today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in malaysia and indonesia, while the amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. and rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect - or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. as we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. the result? a partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. unbelievable? maybe. but scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? now, you should have got the answer.11. the underlined word synthetics probably means . a. natural rubber b. tropical materials c. man-made material d. commercial rubber12. in the last paragraph the author tries to . a. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation b. persuade people to buy something synthetic c. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests d. let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation13. according to the passage, which of the following is not true? a. the forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. b. many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests. c. tropical plants can be used to make industrial products. d. high carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.14. the authors attitude towards the tropical deforestation is . a. puzzling b. cold c. supporting d. opposed15. which of the following might be the best title for the passage? a. tropical forests b. saving the tropical forests c. tropical forests and our life d. the greenhouse effects【参考答案】1115、ccadc【2014界黑龙江省哈三中高三上第三次验收考试】cthe happiest cities on earthif youre looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life.singapore with one of the highest population densities（密度）in the world and residents known for being workaholics, its hard to imagine the city-state of singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth. and yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happy.they give their city high marks for cleanliness and safetysubways are pristine (洁净的) and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs. whats more, they feel they can count on their neighboursall 5.1 million of them.arhus, denmarkthe residents of arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch (第一流的) education for their children.an energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of equality (the range in incomes is narrow), as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make arhus seem more like a small town.san luis obispo, caaccording to a 2008 gallup-healthways study, people who live in san luis obispo are more likely than residents of other u.s. cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. about 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area (都市区), located halfway between los angeles and san francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations.few journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so “its easy to be involved,” resident pierre rademaker said. business signs are unobtrusive (不显眼的) by law, fewer than 11% of residents smokethe lower rate in the u.s.there are lots of bike lanes, and the citys plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer fridays. whats not to love?monterrey, mexicothe people of monterrey dont enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcare. instead, theres a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive institutional revolutionary party lost power in 2000the first time in nearly a centuryas well as an emphasis on social life over work.another reason monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in god and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times.“we laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says basanez, a political scientist who liv
