1.【题文】With a large part of the worlds population living close to the oceans, rising sea levels bring the potential for destructive (破坏性的)results. But scientists are still unable to make predictions exact enough for people to plan to handle the loss of land and the threat to coastal communities expected over this century. “We know sea level is going to rise, but how much, and how fast, and where, we really still dont know, said Josh Willis, a climate scientist. The ocean isnt like water in a bathtub. It doesnt rise all the same as more water pours in. As global warming raises sea levels, some places are expected to see higher-than-average increases, and a few places, may even see decreases. Its reported that over the course of this century, sea levels will rise between 8 inches and 6.6 feet around the planet. Scientists know this increase will be driven by the expansion of water as it warmswarmer water takes up more spaceand the melting of ice. But the effects of warming water and melting ice on sea-level rise are expected to vary from area to area. And the melting of ice of the Antarctic and Greenland presents the largest uncertainty for the future, but air, land and water also play roles in changes to sea level. For example, sea level near the ice getting melt actually decreases, because the ground under the melting ice rises as the heavy ice disappears.Climate change is expected to change ocean currents and the winds that help drive ocean currents. These changes will affect the distribution of heat within the oceans, and, as a result, affect changes in sea level. Nowadays, scientists use two types of models to make predictions about the future of sea levels, but the two dont agree. If scientists cant accurately predict sea-level increase for the coming years, the least we can do is measure what happening today with the help of the satellite, Jason-2, but its reaching the end of its operational life. . The first paragraph implies that_ . A. the rising sea levels mainly happens near the coast B. people living in coastal communities have to moveC. scientists have ways to handle the rising sea levels D. coastal cities are easily affected by the rising sea levels . What does the writer mean by saying The ocean isnt like water in a bathtub in the third paragraph?A. The rising sea level is hard to tell.B. The ocean can be easily controlled. C The ocean isnt equal to a bathtub in size. D. There is too much water for us to control. . According to the text, which of the following shows the right cause and effect? climate change; ocean currents; the winds; changes in sea level; the distribution of heat A. B. C. D. . What problems will scientists meet with in predicting future climate changes? A. Its too difficult to measure whats happening. B. Types of models for prediction are difficult to set up.C. There will probably be no satellites to help the scientists. D. There arent enough scientists studying the changes of sea levels.【答案】DABC【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年福建省福州格致中学高一上学期半期考试英语试题【结束】2.【题文】When Major Mary Jennings Hegar was serving as a captain in Afghanistan, her aircraft was shot down by enemy fire while she and her crew were taking back injured soldiers. Though injured, she completed the rescue mission (任务) while under fire on the ground and received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for “outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty.” However, Hegar did not get prizes for serving in combat (战斗), for it is illegal for women to be in official combat(作战) positions and to get the benefits that come with them. Hegar and three other service women filed a lawsuit(诉讼) in federal court in San Fransico on Nov. 27 in a long-overdue challenge to the Pentagons (五角大楼) ban. Many military women who constitute 14% of the 1.4 million active members of the military object to the policy because it stops them from applying for some 238,000 jobs and excludes (排除) them from certain promotions. It is particularly unfair because it doesnt protect women in service. Fully 85% of women, who have served since Sept.11, report having served in a combat zone or an area where they were faced with combat or immediate danger according to the lawsuit, and half reported being involved in combat operations. At least 860 female troops have been wounded and 144 killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The ban does another bad thing: drive talented women out of service. Hegar says she is asked to leave the Air National Guard for a Reserve Liaison position because she is excluded(不包括，排除) from jobs she would like to apply for. Another woman who is suing, Captain Alexandra Zoe Bedell who was sent twice to Afghanistan, left active duty last year, because of the combat exclusion policy. It is hard to see how the Pentagon could meet this burden. Clearly, women are capable of taking challenging, dangerous combat assignment, because as the careers of Hegar and others like her have shown they are doing it now. The Pentagons policy is based on “outdated idea of women”, just the sort of thing the Constitution forbids.But the Pentagon should not wait for the courts to order it to treat female service members equally. There can be little doubt that a court will eventually do just that and little doubt that, in the very near future, the no-combat rule, like the racial segregation (隔离) of troops and “Dont ask, dont tell,” will seem like an ancient relic (遗物) of unenlightened (愚昧无知的) times. . What can we know about Major Mary Jennings Hegar from the first paragraph?A. She failed in the rescue mission. B. Her deeds were awarded by authorities C. While taking back the injured soldiers some crew died. D. When she was serving as a captain her aircraft crashed. . The underlined word “constitute” in the fourth paragraph means_ .A. take up B. make up C. set up D. build up . Many military women objected to the policy mainly because _ . A. it had an effect on womens rights B. it was unfair to protect women in service C. it prevented them from some jobs and promotions D. it was opposed to womens volunteering for combat . What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A. Pentagon should stop the ban immediately. B. Pentagon will not obey the courts decision. C. Pentagon should have more women soldiers. D. The public should be patient with the Pentagon. 【答案】BBCA【解析】【试源】2015-2016学年福建省福州格致中学高一上学期半期考试英语试题【结束】3.【题文】One day, an old monk named Wisdom, followed by two young monks, was walking from one town to another_1_ they caught sight of a lake.

This is all according to an American study, which focuses on the impact of jogging on life span. According to the research, even a short period of time may improve your chances of avoiding cardio ( 心的) and vascular (血管) diseases, which may lead to premature death.“From a more traditional health perspective, five minutes sounds brave. But if it is energetic, intensive and the running steps are swift, why ever not?” said a medical doctor Tommi Vasankari from the UKK institute , as he considers the health benefits of quick spurts (冲刺) of exercise.The researchers selected 55,000 clients from health centers and got through information collected over a period of 15 years. Of the sample , approximately one fourth of individuals claimed to have running as a hobby. From studying the information of those who passed away during the time period, it was evident that runners had a 45 percent lesser risk of dying from heart disease. Running increased the average life span by three years.Then, the researchers faced a surprise: the amount run by the individuals had no impact on life span. The findings were then published in the New York Times newspaper. According to Vasankari, the findings should be treated with care, because the individuals themselves were the sources of the information used in the study. “ It is not objectively measured data. It makes it difficult to know whether an individual has run on average five or seven minutes.”Quick jog, however, has reached the standard of health recommendations, Vasankari continues. According to American recommendations, heavy exercise should be practiced for an hour and fifteen minutes each week.1. Among 55,000 clients, about _ people take running as a hobby.A. 2200B. 14,000C. 28,000D. 42,0002.

Whats the purpose of the author writing this passage?A. To encourage people to take up jog every dayB. To show jogging plays a key role in our daily lifeC. To tell us five-minute jogging a day can increase lifeD. To analyse why scientists focus on the study of jogging.【答案】BCC【解析】【试源】2016届江西省上高县第二中学高三上学期第三次月考英语试题【结束】8.【题文】Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world-class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.As usual, “things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions.”I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, “Many of lifes failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up.”I decided to hang on, telling myself, “I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles.” I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even thre
