A [2015 •河南鄭州高三模擬]

The year of 2014 saw smart people always busy inventing useful things, which have helped to make the world better, smarter and a little more fun. Now,let's take a look at some of the inventions.

Super banana

  Australian biogeneticist(生物遺傳學(xué)家）James Dale visi?ted Uganda,a poor African country,in the early 2000s, where he found that 15%〜30% of children under 5 were at the risk of going blind because they didn't get enough vitamin A. Dale also learned that people there love bananas. They eat 3 to 11 bananas a day. So he came up with an idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans' health. With the help of Bill Gates' foundation,Dale developed the"super banana". He added a gene to the fruit,making it rich in vitamin A.

Coaching basketball

  Basketball is popular worldwide, partly because you only need a hoop(籃簠)and a ball to play the game. But this sim?ple game experienced a technology makeover with the devel?opment of a smart sensor basketball.

The ball, called the 94Fifty Basketball, has 9 sensors in?side. They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are.

With a Bluetooth chip inside, the basketball can connect to your smart phone and tell you in the voice of a coach to "snap your wrist" or "go faster", depending on the data.

The hovercraft

Thanks to the California-based company Hendo, flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a re?ality.

The hovercraft has 4 small engines. These create a spe?cial magnetic field which produces enough force to lift the board off the ground.

At the moment ， the hoverboard (懸浮滑板)can only-float an inch off the ground for 15 minutes and must fly over a metal material. It's expensive too, at $ 10,000, but the com?pany hopes that one day the technology could be used.

Wireless electricity

  Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Inter?net. We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars. But one company wants to go a step further by com?bining wireless technology with electricity.

That's right, no more tangled (纏繞的）wires and no more having to sit and hold your cellphone near a power sock?et (插 座) in the corner of the room. WiTricity, a US compa?ny? has invented technology that can power objects up to 2. 4 metres away. It uses a special plug-in coiK線圈)that creates a magnetic field!

1.Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with?

 A.     Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas.

B.     Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas.

C.     Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product.

D.     People's eating habits can be used to develop new food.

2.What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball?

 A.     The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.

B.     It can help players to improve their shooting and ball-handling skills.

C.     It allows players to connect to their smart phones while playing basketball.

D.     The Bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball.

3.What can we learn about the hovercraft from the text?

 A.     It enables its users to float off the ground freely.

B.     It can work on many different kinds of surfaces.

C.     It still needs to improve its power and efficiency.

D.     It is an affordable means of transport for a family.

4.What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text?

 A.     They create magnetic fields to produce power.

B.     They apply technologies to many things in life.

C.     They are technologies which can produce electricity.

D.     They use wireless technology to improve their prod?ucts.

B [20巧•安徽合肥高三第三次質(zhì)檢]

The secret to a better cup of morning coffee might simply be choosing the right coloured coffee mug(杯).

The colour of a coffee mug can have something to do with the way coffee tastes, according to a recent study, which was conducted in Australia, and tested the influence that three different coloured mugs—one white, one blue, and one clear glass―had on the perception(感知)of different tastes. The researchers served 18 participants the same cup of cof?fee, in one of the three similarly shaped but differently col?oured containers, and then asked them to rate their sweet?ness, smell, bitterness, quality, and acceptability.

It turns out specifically that the white mug was associat?ed with a more intense (濃的)or bitter tasting cup of coffee, and the clear glass mug was not. The blue mug, meanwhile, proved to be "kind of an in-between. ，， The opposite was true for perceived sweetness―participants noted less sweetness when drinking from the white mug than they did when drink?ing from both the blue and clear glass mugs.

Research published this year shows that the colour of a plate has a clear effect on taste intensity and sweetness. And the colour red specifically has even been associated with lower levels of consumption.

A red strawberry looks redder when placed against a white plate than it does against a black one. And there are as?sociations with that redness that in turn can affect taste, Spence explains. "Red might indicate heightened sweetness, because red fruits tend to be more ripe than green fruits," he said. And that indication can be enough to cause a large difference in taste.

In the case of coffee, specifically, the researchers believe that the colour brown might be something people associate with bitterness.  "The white mug may have influenced the perceived brownness of the coffee and this, in turn, may have influenced the perceived intensity and sweetness of the cof-fee," the researchers wrote. That would help explain why clear glass coffee mugs tended to have the opposite effect.

5.After being served the coffee, the participants were asked to_________ ,

 A.     distinguish the colours of the mugs

B.      exchange the ideas about the tastes

C.      judge the mug's influence on the coffee

D.     give an overall description of the coffee

6.Participants considered the coffee in the white mugs

 A.     the bitterest

B.     the least intense

C.     the sweetest

D.     neither intense nor bitter

7. According to Spence, a white container could .

 A.     get the fruit in it riper

B.     keep the taste of food inside it

C.     make the red fruit in it look even redder

D.     reduce the sweetness of the fruit in it

8. If you prefer a clear mug for drinking coffee, it might indi?cate that you .

 A.     don't mind the colour of coffee

B.     would like a sweeter taste of coffee

C.     are accustomed to the bitterness of coffee

D.     are interested in the brownness of the coffee

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

The other day I was watching SportsCentre when one of those "human interest" stories came on and really caught my attention.

The hero was about a 27-year-old professional Bass Fisherman named Clay Dyer. At first, they played it off as another guy trying to make the cut on the Bassmaster tour until they showed a picture of him. No legs, no arm, or rather, he has only 1/3 of his right arm. That's all that he has.

It was such an amazing story that I was wondering what this guy could do. Growing up, he learned to play-baseball and basketball, but found that fishing was his true calling. And he does it all on his own. He holds the fishing pole under his chin and uses that and his stub (殘端)arm to cast and reel the fish in. He uses his teeth to help him unhook fish. He ties his own hooks on with his mouth, never really asking anyone else to help. Clay Dyer even knows how to swim. Since his body can't produce enough sweat on its own, he has to take a dip in the lake every few hours to keep cool. He dives in just like anyone else, then somehow treads water(採(cǎi)7jO with his stub arm, then, with a little help, pulls himself back up into the boat and goes on fishing.

Clay Dyer has never looked for others' pity, and nor has he allowed his physical disabilities to prevent him from becoming a professional fisherman. His motto for life is "If I can, you can. ，， He refuses to use special equipment, saying, "I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two."

5.    Why did the author become interested in Clay Dyer?

A.    He assumed Dyer was living happily.

B.    He thought that Dyer could do nothing.

C.    He took great pity on this disabled man.

D.    He wanted to know what Dyer could do.

6.    We learn from the last paragraph that   .

A.    it seems easy for Clay Dyer to go fishing

B.    Dyer aims to behave like a normal person

C.    special equipment is allowed when fishing

D.    physical disabilities destroy his faith in life

7.    Which word best describes Clay Dyer's personality?

A. Diligent.    B. Faithful.

C. Inspiring.   D. Stubborn.

8.    The text is intended to .

A.    persuade readers to watch SportsCentre

B.    share Clay Dyer's life story with readers

C.    call on readers to care for the disabled man

D.    express the author's admiration for Clay Dyer
