But one more has just been addeda communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun,scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012,just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth,causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London.“The Suns activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,“ said Professor Richard Harrison,head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle,violent outbursts calledcoronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射) occur in the Suns atmosphere,throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount,can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America,NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory(SDO),which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of thesolar flares(太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Holdaway,the labs director,said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth. “If we have advance warning,well be able to reduce the damage. What you dont want is things switching off for a week with no idea of whats caused the problem,” he said.1. The phrase “communications blackout” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers toduring the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torch B. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in London D. the destruction of weather satellites2. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.3. According to the passage,NASA will launch a satellite to.A. take images of the solar system B. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activities D. improve the communications on Earth4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms:An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms:Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms:Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms:Human Activities to Be Troubled【参考答案】14、BDCD【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 With the development of society, many people are coming under the umbrella of fatness. Not just adults，but even children are getting overweight. Today some of the newborn babies are also born fat. It has been proved that the people living in the western developed countries are more likely to become overweight. There are a number of causes behind this. The people in the developed countries including the United States almost enjoy all the comforts of life. Almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their finger tips. A very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. Because of the fact that these countries are quite developed，most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. So the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk. Most of the western developed countries are cold ones. Nature demands that people eat the kinds of food so as to make them stand the coldness. Therefore，wine，fatty dairy products，bread，junk food，and red meat become important diets in these countries. However，the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. Technology allows them to import almost all the food products that they do not grow. Although some healthy foods are grown in the countries nowadays，the quantity is very limited. It is not enough to meet the demand. So when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper, people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following. 12. According to Paragraph 2，most people in the developed countries do _. A. office jobsB. management jobsC. physical jobsD. tiring jobs13. According to the text, the reason why people in the western developed countries have to eat some fatty foods is that _. A. the unhealthy eating habit is not importantB. fatty foods cost less to buy and healthy foods are in shortage C. healthy foods are in shortage and fatty foods are abundant.D. they cant put the blame on their eating habits.14. The purpose of the author in writing the text is to _. A. warn us of our bad eating habits in the developed countriesB. remind us of the relation between food and weight gainC. inform us of the causes of weight gain in the developed countriesD. tell us that fatness in the developed countries is natural15. People in the western developed countries often _. A. carry umbrellas with them B. blame the fatness on the weatherC. grow a lot of healthy foods in their countries D. eat to protect themselves from the coldness参考答案12-15 ABCD【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。“Time,” says the proverb, “is money”. This means that every moment well spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea; some in merry making. Now if all these years were to be deducted(扣除) from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life. All time is precious，but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence，for those are the periods when we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to recover the loss. Just as money laid out at interests doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us incalculable advantages.25. Why does the author quote the proverb “time is money” in the beginning?A to explain the meaning of the proverbB to show how precious time isC to compare the importance of time and lifeD to warn us not to waste time26. According to the author, which of the following is right?A A day or an hour wasted is so much life lost.B We shouldnt spend one third of our life sleepingC Merry making is something unnecessary in our life.D We have less than twenty or thirty years to do active work27. What is the best title for the passage?A Time is money B The value of time C How we spend our time D The morning hours of life28. In the last paragraph, the author warns that _.A one must do his best to acquire knowledge and develop its ability when youngB young people must deposit enough money to make large interests in the futureC the morning hours are important for the young and shouldnt be wastedD the time of childhood and youth should be used to acquire countless advantages.参考答案、25-28 BABA 阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B/C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2013界广东省汕头市质量监测试题】 We live in central Phoenix, near the canal.

Their work highlights that parents who argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt among their children during their students years. Their work is published online in Springers Journal of Family and Economic Issues. Credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last decade. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock and colleagues study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect（累积效应）on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt. The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different American universities, who took part in the College Student Financial Literacy Survey. According to the online survey, nearly two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that their parents argued about finances were more likely to have more than two cards than the students whose parents who did not argue about finances.In terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over 500.The researchers conclude, It is clear that the influence of parents cannot be neglected. Researchers, educators and policymakers should work in finding effective ways to increase the positive financial behaviors fo college students. We need to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at earlier ages to prevent poor financial habits from taking root.31. In Adam Hancocks research, students credit card debt is related to their _.
