Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase “age is just a number”; she has proved that achievements and knowledge follow passion and not just age and experience.

Vijay, who lives with her parents in Melbourne, Australia, at the age of seven realised that her piggy bank did not have enough money to hire a developer to make her an app, so she decided to teach herself how to code. With the help of YouTube videos, the young techie learned to code. For one entire year, she watched multiple coding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.

Vijay’s inspiration for developing the apps was her little sister, who was still learning to talk. Therefore, Vijay developed an educational app for children that were her sister’s age. The app is called Smartkins, which uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals that help children learn and identify. Later, Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors. Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.

Anvitha’s skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco, California. There, she got tips from the pros. She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.

All that training led to an idea for a third app. This one, called GoalsHi, inspires kids to practice good habits. Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano. Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.

Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun. But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “th e better chance we have of becoming creativity champions who will one day change the world.”

39. Vijay taught herself to code because _____.

A. she couldn’t afford a developer

B. her sister begged her

C. she valued her savings very much

D. her parents had confidence in her

40. Vijay’s app GoalsHi intends to help kids _____.

A. identify colors

B. practice good habits

C. learn different animals

D. get in tech at an early age

41. What is the right order of the events?

a. Learning the latest software for app building.

b. Teaching herself how to code.

c. Developing Smartkins app.

d. Building iOS app.

A. cbad

B. bacd

C. bcda

D. cdab

42. Vijay’s story indicates that _____.

A. one head cannot hold all wisdom

B. passion fuels the young to achieve

C. from small beginnings come great things

D. all things are difficult before they are easy

C

British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle

wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.

Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.

Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Ma ndrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males—the ones who are more successful with females—have a brighter red nose than other males.

As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches. Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.

Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?

43. According to their research, Hill and Barton conclude that _____.

A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events

B. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports

C. red plays a role when competitors are equally capable

D. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red

44. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

A.achieve

B. seek

C. keep

D. change

45. The example of the blue footed booby proves that _____.

A. male birds use different body parts to draw attention

B. red is not the only colour to attract female birds

C. blue gives female birds the same advantage

D. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is

46. What is the best title for the passage?

A. What Colour Implies More Power?

B. A Tip on Clothing

C. Need to Change the Rules in Sports?

D. Red Is for Winners

D

They hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.

This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking

action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.

Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.

Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”

Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.

Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.

Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.

The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.

47. Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?

A. Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.

B. Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.

C. Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.

D. Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.

48. Supporters of the new law believe that _____.

A. it prevents the media from getting worse

B. it gives photographers a fair way to compete

C. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job

D. privacy of famous people needs special protection

49. Opponents of the new law are concerned that _____.

A. It will violate paparazzi’s privacy

B. the First Amendment will be changed

C. some photographers will be wrongly accused

D. people will not be informed of important news

50. What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?

A. Critical

B. Neutral

C. Approving

D. Sceptical

Bad News for the Highly Intelligent

There are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.

51 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.

To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 52 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someo ne less intelligent. 53

The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 54 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 55 In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.

A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.

B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.

C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.

D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.

E. That may cause the body’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.

F. It’s also possible th at people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.

G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.

四、One possible version:

I had always felt that the last year of senior high school was the bitterest time of my life, until last Friday.

At lunch break, my classmate and I went to the teacher’s office to ask questions, only to find our math teacher sleeping with her head on the arms, some medicine beside her, as well as some exercise books. Then we hurried back to our classroom. I placed a chair behind the teacher’s desk, and my friend put a glass of warm water on it.

Entering the classroom, our teacher smiled at what we had done, and soon began her lesson. We all felt worried when hearing her cough from time to time. We listened attentively and tried to memorize every point she mentioned. After school, some of us visited her in the office with some fruits and snacks. And our teacher was still busy working at her desk…

That day, I realized we were lucky to have these dedicated teachers and that the busy days were not bitter but bitter-sweet.

北京市八区2018届初三二模英语分类汇编大阅读Word版含答案

【西城二模】 四?阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题?(共10分，每小题2分) Mom's Recipe for Life I have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life. My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life. As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day. What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there，，I asked her how it went. “ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man，and not one word was spoken.” I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her. “ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked. “ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.” Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation. When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her. She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life. 34. Where did the writer's mom grow up? 35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip? 36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation? 37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end? 38. What is Mom's recipe for life? 34. In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. 35. No，they didn't. 36. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus. 37. Proud. 38. The attitude of considering everyone her friend. 【东城二模】 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分） P. I. C.
