(A)

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, (25)________was the best player at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for practice.

Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very pale, (26)________ he didn’t cry.

That season, I broke all of Miller’s records (27)________ he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s accident.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck (28)________(go) over a fence—which wasn’t hard to climb (29)________ you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept assistance (30)________. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did fine. Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of (31)________ leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still ahead of me. I was right (32)________(admire) him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

(B)

Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism (33)________ still be revived. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.

Scientists (34)_________ (seek) a way to prolong (延长) the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method (35)_________(develop) so far involves (36)________ (cool) of the organism, combined with narcotic (麻醉的) sleep.

To illustrate (37)________ this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery (动脉). The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta (38)________(remain) in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial

breathing. It was miraculous (39)________after two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from (40)_________ of a healthy animal.

(A)

Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of

all---I flew!

My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself to learning one of the world’s best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot’s license. In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pri de thinking I’ve done that.

During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit of my dreams. And, even if they change, even i f they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly with the eagles.

(C)

During the sixth and seventh centuries, the inhabitants of the modern-day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in north-western India developed a method of gaining access to clean, fresh groundwater during the dry season for drinking, bathing, watering animals and irrigation. However, the significance of this invention----the stepwell----goes beyond its utilitarian(实用的) application.

Unique to this region, stepwells are often architecturally complex and vary widely in size and shape. During their heyday, they were places of gathering, of leisure and relaxation and of worship

for villagers of all but the lowest classes. Most stepwells are found dotted round the desert areas of Gujarat (where they are called vav) and Rajasthan (where they are called baori), while a few also survive in Delhi. Some were located in or near villages as public spaces for the community; others were positioned beside roads as resting places for travelers.

As their name suggests, stepwells comprise a series of stone steps descending from ground level to the water source as it recedes following the rains. When the water level was high, the user needed only to descend a few steps to reach it; when it was low, several levels would have to be negotiated.

Some wells are vast, open craters(坑) with hundreds of steps paving each sloping side. Others are more elaborate, with long stepped passages leading to the water via several storeys. Built from stone and supported by pillars, they also included pavilions that sheltered visitors from the relentless heat. But perhaps the most impressive features are the decorative sculptures that embellish(装饰) many stepwells, showing activities from fighting and dancing to everyday acts such as women combing their hair.

Down the centuries, thousands of wells were constructed throughout north-western India, but the majority have now fallen into disuse; many are dry, as groundwater has been diverted for industrial use and the wells no longer reach the water table. Their condition hasn’t been helped by recent dry spells: southern Rajasthan suffered an eight-year drought between 1996 and 2004.

However, some important sites in Gujarat have recently undergone major restoration, and the state government announced in June last year that it plans to restore the stepwells throughout the state.

Still in public use is Neemrana Ki Baori, located just off the Jaipur-Delhi highway. Constructed in around 1700, it is nine storeys deep, with the last two being underwater. At ground level, there are 86 openings from where the visitor descends 170 steps to the deepest water source.

Today, following years of neglect, many of these monuments to medieval engineering have been saved by the Archaeological Survey of India, which has recognized the importance of preserving them as part of the country’s rich history. Tourists flock to wells in far-flung corners of north-western India to gaze in wonder at these architectural marvels from hundreds of years ago, which serve as a reminder of both the ingenuity and artistry of ancient civilizations and of the value of water to human existence.

74. Which part of some stepwells provided shade for people?

A. the passages

B. the sculptures

C. the pillars

D. the pavilions

75. Which of the following is mentioned as a reason why the majority of stepwells have fallen out of use?

A. The migration of the Indian people.

B. The diversion of groundwater.

C. The lack of fund for restoration.

D. Severe climate events that happened in the past centuries.

76. What do we know about the stepwell Neemrana Ki Baori?

A. It is one of the few stepwells still in use today.

B. It had seven underground levels.

C. It was designed as a resting place for travelers.

D. It is the most complex stepwell.

77. Which of the following statements is true about stepwells?

A. Stepwells had few functions in addition to those related to water collection.

B. It took workers many years to build the stone steps characteristic of stepwells.

C. The number of steps above the water level in a stepwell altered during the course of a year.

D. The stepwells offer tourists a glimpse into southern India’s past.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

By now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your fr iends’ new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber’s latest conflict with the law on Twi tter, what are some of the real influences?

Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.

Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.

Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.

Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.

Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)

78.In addition to socializing and getting latest news, what are the other main purposes people use social media websites for?

79. What are the downsides to social networking?

80. How can employers benefit from social media when hiring?

81. What is the recommended approach to the use of social media?

2016年高考英语全国Ⅰ卷试题及答案

2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新课标I） 英语试卷类型A 第Ⅰ卷 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分） 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。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.

2016年度高考试题(英语)江苏卷解析版

2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷） 英语 2016年江苏高考英语卷总评 2016年江苏高考英语卷总体难度较前三年有所降低，紧扣高中英语课程标准的教学要求，对考生在英语听力、词汇、语法、英语知识综合应用、阅读理解、书面表达等知识和能力进行了全面、深入的考察。整体稳定，注重基础，贴近生活，努力将知识和能力的考查融为一体，难易结合，体现了英语高考改革的趋势。 听力： 听力部分沿用全国卷听力，除了Text10部分语速稍快，前面9段材料语速比较正常，总体难度不算大，和往年相似，考查的都是平时常用的功能性用语，考查形式以细节信息、语音辨析、意图推测、结论判断等题型为主。单选：“中规中矩” 单选部分同往年相同，强调在语境中理解词汇的意思。侧重对词汇和词组的考查，考点为名词性从句、动词、动词词组、形容词副词、非谓语、情景交际等，贴近生活实际。重视语法基础，题量和重点语法点基本没变，难度有所下降，只要学生正常发挥，不要被平时难题所影响，应该可以拿满分。 完形填空是一个有关人生感悟的故事。“John”在和陌生人交流以后反思人生，这篇完形填空仍以名词、动词和词组、及形容词副词为主，词汇为较为常用的高频词。几乎所有的答案都可以在上下文中找到串联痕迹，这也是理解这篇完形填空的重要线索。 阅读部分“题量设置沿袭过去两年，难度有所降低” 今年与往年相比较，阅读部分是难度下降最多的，主要体现在词汇、长难句和文章的整体理解，设题以细节理解题为主，推理判断为辅。 A篇是一篇说明文介绍网络课程，文章以短句为主，难度一般，使用关键词定位法可以直接找到答案。B篇是科技说明文，说明了黑猩猩的主观能动性，比去年的B篇相比难度下降较多。C篇为说明文，主要介绍厄尔尼诺现象，本文与时事结合较为紧密，话题也是考生较为熟悉的，但本文中的专业词汇和长难句对理解有一定影响。D 篇是记叙文，介绍了牙买加女运动员的励志故事，难度较去年也有较大的下降，集中考查细节题。 任务型阅读是这份试卷中最有区分度的，说明了科技对人们生活的积极影响，文章结构清晰，依然考查了考生在信息检索、内容归纳、语言结构等方面的知识与能力。较难的概括提炼的部分，也是区分优秀生和中等生的关键。书面表达：“旧瓶装新酒” 延续前两年“读写任务型”写作，总字数要求不变，凸显了考生分析材料的能力，写作便于考生写出紧扣主题的个性化内容。讨论话题为“网络投票”，建议使用“with复合结构”开始，提出网络投票的积极作用和消极作用两方面。我们可以根据网络投票的正反两面性梳理好观点，根据相应的功能句型，应该能得到不错的分数。
