2014年山东济南育才中学高三第一学期期中考试试题（英语）阅读理解a (2014济南育才高二学年第一模块考试)when szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesnt see rubbish; he sees a pencil case. sweet wrappers? a beautiful kite. but these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. for the 28-year-old ceo of trenton, new jersey-based terracycle, theyre a business model. szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling . instead of recycling, terracycle takes packaging headed for landfills（垃圾填埋）and reuses itmore or less whole. terracycles 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as petco , kmart, whole foods market, and target. szakys 7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in mexico, canada, the united kingdom and brazil, is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate jon beyer in 2002 as a freshman at princeton university. the two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer made from worm waste. they lost the competition but started the business anyway. with their goalto make products entirely out of rubbishsuddenly clear, szaky knew thetime was right to drop out of princeton. terracycles first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. the result: a cheap, green breakthrough. word spread, and in 2004, home depot began carrying the fertilizer in its canadian stores. to szaky, waste does not exist in nature. terracycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. as szaky points out: “the biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. at terracycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. people should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”21. what do we know about szaky? a. ceo of terracycle. b. an employee of home depot. c. the manager of a food company. d. a student at princeton university.22.according to the passage, the new industry of upcycling tends to_ a. make organic plant fertilizer. b. bury waste materials in landfills. c. promote completely natural foods. d. put waste materials directly into new use.23. how did szaky get the idea of upcycling? a. from his visits to foreign companies. b. from his studies at princeton university. c. through shopping at big stores in america. d. through the experience of a business competition.24. what is the advantage of upcycling according to szaky? a. the cost is kept low. b. the product is free. c. the product has a longer life. d. more materials are available.【答案与解析】21.a 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“.the 28-year-old ceo of trenton.”，可知答案选a。22. d 推理判断题。由第二段第一、二句szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling . instead of recycling, terracycle takes packaging headed for landfills（垃圾填埋）and reuses itmore or less whole.可知，特林顿公司并不从事回收产业，它是把即将被当作垃圾填埋的包装进行重新利用，可能是整个或者是部分地利用。故选d。23. d 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容“. they lost the competition but started the business anyway.”可知，萨奇在大学的时候参加一个商业比赛，比赛失败了，但他和他的同班同学却开始了升级改造产业。故选d。24. a 推理判断题。由最后一段第三、四句as szaky points out: “the biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. at terracycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free.可知升级改造产业最大的优势就是原料是免费的，由此可以推断出成本相对低廉。故选a。试卷名称试题省份地市、区域试题类型试题年份学科题型2014年山东济南育才中学高三第一学期期中考试试题（英语）山东济南期中2014英语阅读理解一级考点二级考点三级考点话题原题分值原题题号考查能力难度科技8第二部分第一节a篇二星适用版本适用模块适用章适用节解题方法学科思想同步/高考人教版外研版译林牛津北师大版重庆大学版同步、高考 b (2014济南育才高二学年第一模块考试)parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to talking with their ownchildren, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in theuniversity of toronto, canada. almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a childs actions and feelings. for example, a parent is annoyed by a childs crying and says, “the police will come to get you if you dont stop crying now.” in another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child. whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. it could even keep children from learningcertain rules. “if i am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do x, y, or z, then they have never learned why they should do x, y, or z.” heyman, one of the researchers, said.heyman also said, “it is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. i think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation youre working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.” 25. what did the researchers find out in their recent study?a. most parents are strict with their children. b. many parents like to tell police stories.c. few parents believe in honesty. d. parents often lie to children.26. what do the underlined words “tall tales” in paragraph 3 mean?a. stories mixed with lies. b. stories based on truth and facts.c. stories too long to be interesting. d. stories beyond childrens understanding.27. according to the research, how may children be affected by their parents lies?a. they may fall behind in school.b. they may lie to their parents too.c. they may get confused about the society.d. they may feel they are being overprotected.28. whats heymans suggestion for parents?a. teach their children about rules. b. guide their children on sound beliefs.c. influence their children in various ways. d. figure out childrens problems in advance.【答案与解析】25. d 细节理解题。第一段说的就是一项研究发现，即，父母在和孩子们说话中经常会说谎，故选d。26. a 词义猜测题。一般情况下，such如果出现在某一名词前，那么该名词往往回指的是上文中的一些情况，所以要想知道tall tales的意思，要看看上文。上文提到了一些父母在跟孩子谈话中所涉及到的谎言例子，再根据后文“could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”可以推断出tall tales 指的就是那些混杂着谎言的故事。27. c推理判断题。第三段提到“such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”，由此可推断出，父母的谎言会影响孩子们对社会的理解，故选c。28. b 细节理解题。最后一段提到heyman说的一段话，其中“i think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation youre working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.”一句就是对父母的建议，由此可知他认为父母应该提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原则，因此，一旦遇到类似的情况，你就会用你信奉的原则而不是一时冲动去处理问题。故选b。试卷名称试题省份地市、区域试题类型试题年份学科题型2014年山东济南育才中学高三第一学期期中考试试题（英语）山东济南期中2014英语阅读理解一级考点二级考点三级考点话题原题分值原题题号考查能力难度生活8第二部分第一节b篇二星适用版本适用模块适用章适用节解题方法学科思想同步/高考人教版外研版译林牛津北师大版重庆大学版同步、高考

d(2014济南育才高二学年第一模块考试)bored of using a mouse? soon youll be able to change stuff on your computer screenand then move it directly onto your smartphone or tabletwith nothing more than a glance.a system called eye drop, developed by jayson turner and his colleagues at lancaster university, uk, uses a head-mounted eye tracker that meantime records your field of view so it knows where you are looking on the screen. gazing at an objecta photo, sayand then pressing a key,selects that object. it can then be moved from the screen to a tablet or smartphone just by glancing at the second device, as long as the two are connected wirelessly.a button needs to be used to select the object you are looking at otherwise you end up with the “midastouch”（点石成金）effect, whereby (也就是）everything you look at gets selected by your gaze, says turner. “imagine if your mouse clicked on everything it pointed at,” he says. while current eye-trackers are rather bulky （体积庞大）, mainstream consumer devices are not too far away. swedish firm tobii is developing gaze-tracking technology that can be installed in laptops and tablets and is expected to be available to buy next year.and the google glassheadset is expected to include eye-tracking in the future. turner says he has also looked at how content can be cut and pasted or drag-and-dropped using a mix of gaze and taps on a touch screen. the system was presented at the conference on mobile and ubiquitous multimedia in sweden, last week.33.the eye-tracker technology enables us to _a. change our computer screen.b. focus on anything that interests us.c. get a smartphone connected wirelessly.d. move an object from screen with a glance.34.why is a button needed?a. to select what we want.b. to minimize the cost of eye drop.c. to choose as many objects as possibled. to make eye drop different from others. 35. which of the following is true of eye-trackers for consumer devices?a. they are costly.b. they are available.c. they are expected to come out soon. d. they are installed in google glassheadset.【答案与解析】33.d 细节题理解题。由第一段可知eye-tracker是为了能使用户通过眼神的动作来实现文件的拖拽，故d项正确。34.a 细节理解题。由第三段第一句a button needs to be used to select the object you are looking at可知a项正确。35.c 细节理解题。由第四段第一句while current eye-trackers are rather bulky （体积庞大）, mainstream consumer devices are not too far away.可知，c项正确。试卷名称试题省份地市、区域试题类型试题年份学科题型2014年山东济南育才中学高三第一学期期中考试试题（英语）山东济南期中2014英语阅读理解一级考点二级考点三级考点话题原题分值原题题号考查能力难度科技6第二部分第一节d篇二星适用版本适用模块适用章适用节解题方法学科思想同步/高考人教版外研版译林牛津北师大版重庆大学版同步、高考阅读七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2014济南育才高二学年第一模块考试)two years ago, dimas aliprandi and elton plaster didnt know of each others existence. then they learned they had been switched at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago. the discovery didnt bring bitterness. 36 37 he was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with. he was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a tv news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals. he wanted to do a dna test, but it was too expensive for the family.a decade later, dimas did it on his own. the dna test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him 38 they at first refused to believe the results,but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.the search began at the regina protmann hospital where records were checked. the hospital found elton was born there on the same day. the records led dimas to the elton, who lived on a farm with his parents, nilza and adelson. 39 meanwhile, elton figured out his biological parents were dimas parents. 40 “this is the way it should be,” eltons parent recently told globo tv. “we are all together and i now have two sons living and working here.”a. the news was a shock for his parents.b. the chain of events started with dimas.c. this made them excited about the result.d. rather, it led to the creation of a bigger family.e. so, elton returned to
