Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading,

There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.

So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys' reading?To improve boys" reading performance, parents and educators may 1ook for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called

"boy-friendly" books that boys supposedly prefer". These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction

But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language leaning and higher language ability.

books. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests. stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests

Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class, Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading

In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.

24. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls reading ability?

A. Social factors.

B. Teaching methods.

C. Personal preferences.

D. Psychological differences

25. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?

A. To persuade boys to read more often.

B. To learn what boys are most interested in.

C. To help boys improve their language ability.

D. To show that adults are good reading role models.

26. When should schools give students additional library aces according to the author?

A.Before and after class,

B. At any time of the school day.

C. At regular times during class.

D. When they are in the lower grades.

27. What is the main purpose of the text?

C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources,

D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability.

"Anything you want, anytime you need it."

The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.

One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed - a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card's and said: Anytime: Starting Tomorrow."

The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorizing about Anytime, Was it a shopping

name before it'd even made a single sale.

When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, What do you want?" All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours

Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.

Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company,but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.

Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticizing Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..

When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: Stop making trouble." Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.

28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?

A. An invitation to a company opening.

B. 'The website address of a new company.

C. The words Anytime: Starting tomorrow".

D. The words Anything you want, anytime you need it".

29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?

A. Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising.

B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.

C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company,

D. So people would find the new company interesting.

30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about Anytime?

A. It may be very dangerous.

B. Its popularity would soon decrease.

C. It was doing business all over the world.

D. It was being widely criticized by journalists.

31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?

A. Scared that he would get into trouble.

B. Confident that he would find the truth.

C. Nervous about what the company would do.

D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret

D

Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.

First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.

Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining. circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量) against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.

Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems.

But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement - based on electric current - in order to define the mass of an object.The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security," says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed,we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”

Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram, "says Robinson. "We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy."

32. What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?

A. It's cared for with great devotion.

B. It's used in religious ceremonies

C. It's beautifully designed and decorated.

D. It's the most valuable metal in the world.

33. Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5?

A. rebuilt

B. removed

C. destroyed D, upgraded

34. What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?

A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage.

B.To make taking measurements more economical.

C. To provide all countries with the same standard.

D. To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. No more kilos

B. A heavy technology

C. The future of the kilo

D. The history of measures

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。

It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people.

During a break in the weather, I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries.However, as I left the supermarket and drove back, the weather took a tum for the worse.

36

Having nowhere to go, I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation. He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway. 37

The man, who introduced himself as Trent, then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife, Kayti and their two daughters. I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car, as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail (冰雹). Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car 38 Fortunately, his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail.

By 11:00 a.m, the electricity and phone services had both gone. 39 Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off. The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better. I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family.

When the hail stopped, I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye. 40 I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people.

As I went out the door, I asked Trent for two of his business cards. My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company.

A. It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop.

B. The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help.

C, I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance.

D.I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car.

E.I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come.

F. As a result, I couldn’t contact my parents, despite knowing they'd be worried.

G. He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my behalf.

Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an 1 knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are 2 different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves 3 . So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their 4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A 5 of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to 6 the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be 7 by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest 8 connection between the artist and their 9 . By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10 a new piece, they almost always have a 11 starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action.

高三英语考试题

高二英语 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse. Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart. This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honour. 1．Halley made his discovery________． A．by doing experiments B．by means of his own careful observation C．by using the work of other scientists D．by chance 2．Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year________． A．1704B．1705C．1706D．1707 3．This text in general is about________． A．Halley and other scientists B．the orbit of a comet C．Newton and Halley D．Halley and his discovery 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist. B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiment. C．Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician. D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a round. B Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops. In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away. Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place. Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. 5. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of . A. loud noises B. some crops C. video cameras D. angry bees 6. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy . A. works by herself in Africa B. needs to test more elephant groups C. has stopped elephants eating crops D. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms 7. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive? A. To record the sound of bees. B. To make a video of elephants. C. To see if elephants would run away. D. To find out more about the behavior of bees. 8. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees. B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place. C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.
