In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called “friction”(摩擦力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石), but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous(磷), a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole（底）of a shoe.At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852, the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the matchheadit was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.1. Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood?A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight.B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well.C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat. D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match .2、What did the chemists make the match of in 1827?A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves. B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper.C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper.D. Phosphorous, sandpaper and flint.3. If a match was struck on a special surface, we could see_.A. loose matches could catch fire fiercely B. phosphorous wasnt needed in the match C. there were matches and sandpaper in pockets.D. loose matches in pockets wouldnt catch fire at a time.参考答案13、ACD【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】The riches in the world are not found in the famous gold and diamond mines, where many men and women are digging for them. Most riches in the world are found in the cemeteries and grave yards, buried with peoples dreams, aspirations, and unfulfilled potential. Why is it so?Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own paths. Maybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms, maybe because they were afraid to be alone, or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiar. They went to the graves; with a song that would never be heard, a piece of poetry never be written, a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations, leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy.Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes once said, I can fail, but I cannot afford not to try. Life remains a beautiful journey if we learn to take that step and to work that path. Every challenge and defeat in the process becomes a light post that sharpens the vision and shapes the direction forward.In my world nothing goes wrong, said the great Indian sage Nihaja Dhahta Majraj. We must learn to trust the greatness within all of us and know that each of us is here to bring our unique contribution to the universal monument. If each of us learns to dance to the music we only can hear, society as a whole will evolve naturally and spiritually toward love, peace and happiness, and will be void of jealousy, envy and discrimination.And Henry David Thoreau would say, If a man does not keep pace with his companions, that is because he hears a different drum. And one truly believes that the path to success and happiness passes through the dancing to such a unique drumbeat. Therefore, do not die with the music still playing inside you. 41. Whats the authors opinion on riches? A. They are peoples dreams and aspirations. B. They are the most important things in the world. C. They are something we cant possess and dream of. D.

Trying something new will bring us benefits. C. We should be careful if we want to have a try. D. A1l people are not brave enough to experience something new.44. Which word can best describe Nihaja Dhahta Majraj according to the passage? A. Brave. B. Healthy. C. Self-confident. D. Common.45. How is the passage organized? A. Topic - Argument - Explanation B.

Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the publics attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music. Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert. What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but theyre not dead, says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, its possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged. And this is no small problem. What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Heres another measurement you can use. If youre at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you re at risk for hearing loss. Thats when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical. The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.? Most arent. Rock music is supposed to be loud, says drummer Andrew Sather. I wouldnt have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, Theres no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. Levels of Common NoisesNormal conversation 50 65 dBFood blender 88 dBJet plane flying above a person standing outside 103 dBRock band during a concert 110 140 dB63. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that . A. loud music is a major cause of hearing loss B. famous people tend to have hearing problems C. teenagers should stay away from school bands D. the problem of hearing damage is widely known64. In Paragraph 3, the underlined word recondition means . A. not to be seen B. to fill with sound C. to become larger in size D. to make good again65. The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show . A. a list of harmful sounds B. the effect of rock concerts C. the noise levels of familiar sounds D. relationship between daily activities and hearing loss66. Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree? A. When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead. B. Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice. C. Many are taking the risk of losing hearing. D. Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.【参考答案】63. A 64. D 65. B 66.

A variety of different arguments have been put forward about it. Smith, a sociologist, argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of the public to see marine mammals. As this argument goes, most Australians live in cities and never get to see these animals. Marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife. However, in fact, there are many places where they can be seen in the wild. Moreover, these places do not charge an overpriced entry fee they are free. Dr. Alison Lane, the director of the Cairns Marine Science Institute, insists that we need marine parks for scientific research. She argues that much of our knowledge of marine mammals comes from studies which were undertaken at marine parks. The knowledge which is obtained at marine parks can be useful for planning for the preservation of marine mammal species. However, Jones, a zoologist, explains that park research is only useful for understanding captive animals and is not useful for learning about animals in the wild. Their diets are different, they have significantly lower life lengths and they are more likely to have a disease. In addition, marine mammals in dolphin parks are trained and this means that their patterns of social behaviour are changed. The Marine Park Owners Association holds that marine parks attract a lot of foreign tourists. This position goes on to state that these tourists spend a lot of money, increasing our foreign exchange earnings and assisting our national balance of payments. However, foreign tourists would still come to Australia if the parks were closed down. Indeed, surveys of overseas tourists show that they come here for a variety of other reasons and not to visit places like Seaworld. Tourists come here to see our native wildlife in its natural environment and not to see it in cages and concrete pools. They can see animals in those conditions in their own countries. In a word, perhaps an agreement cannot be reached now. However, a question does deserve our consideration: If we continue with our past crimes against these creatures, how will our future generations view us?67. Who support(s) the idea of closing marine parks? A. Most Australians. B. Alison Lane. C. Smith. D. Jones.68. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3 ? A. The results from studies are valuable in animal preservation. B. Scientific research at the marine parks has its limitations. C. Captive animals have biology changes in marine parks. D. Human behavior causes harmful effects on the animals.69. Which is NOT the reason to keep marine parks? A. For entertainment purpose. B. For scientific research purpose. C. For economic purpose. D. For political purpose.70. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by . A. pointing out the problems with keeping the marine parksB. using evidence he has collected at the marine parksC. discussing the advantages of animals natural homesD. questioning the way the animals are studied【参考答案】67.

The reason is that, if you own a dog,you must train a dog, and many dog owners out there, it is safe to say, have little or no controlover their dogs, because they do not train them. Strong words? MaybeBut they are simple, honest words, as untrained dogs living inresidential neighborhoods bark at will, run loose, and visit and damage neighboring propertieswith their ownersblessings as they deliberately let them run. Take note of the fact that you, the dog owner, cannot control your dog causing a continual nuisance（麻烦事）that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood. Theres nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient（有缺陷的）mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so.After all, the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too, and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking, are they deaf? Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained, an indication that the owners themselves lack self discipline, and most likely have never really tried to apply discipline to other issues in their lives, not with consistency, or that they are simply lazy and inattentive to their own adult responsibilities at the expense of others. Irresponsible dog owners, though, do train their dogs. A dog is a reflection of its owner.Whatever a dog does (run loose, bark at will, jump on guests entering the front door, soilneighboring lawns) is a result of the decisions of the owner. The choice not to do something isindeed a choice. The good news is that with mere consistency, a dog can be trained rather quickly, in acouple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibility seriously. Again, that process will be areflection of the ow
