南阳一中2017年秋期高二第三次月考 英语 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）‎ 请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。‎ A The beginning of the 21st century saw a revolution in home living with new technology changing the places where we live, from the internet to flat TV screens, and it seems technology could be changing our homes again. A project conducted by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the university’s InterHome project – aiming to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly. ‎ The interhome ‎ ‎“We’ve developed a wristband type device,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. “Connecting the two together and building the service element allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.” ‎ Built from zero ‎ The InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, it’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. Students get experience ‎ by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students – electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies,” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”‎ ‎21. The main purpose of this article is to______. ‎ A. introduce a new kind of technology to help people enjoy a better life ‎ B. describe a new platform for students to develop new technology ‎ C. show how future buildings will change elderly people’s way of life ‎ D. describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for elderly ‎22.The underlined word “supervises” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.‎ A. Watches over ‎ B. gives support to ‎ C. directs ‎ D. comforts ‎23. According to the article, the Interhome project______. ‎ A. does all the work the existing services do ‎ B. aims to provide better care and services for the elder ‎ C. develop houses that mainly aim to save energy ‎ D. calls for students to care for old people ‎ B When you think of a typical American, who do you picture? A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift? Or a handsome black American like basketball star Kobe Bryant? In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people.‎ Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, these people－who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois, Apache and Navajo－are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”. ‎ There’s a chance that you’ve never even heard of American Indians. That‟s because there aren’t very many left. When the European settlement of North America began, there were fierce conflicts between the settlers from overseas and these native peoples. After the B ritish government and military were expelled (驱逐) in the Revolutionary War, conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US. In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed. ‎ In 1830, president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to the west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted （准予）US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians. ‎ While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, these peoples’ legacies (遗产) are still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas, and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are numerous successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended（是……的后裔）from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US. ‎ Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past. ‎ ‎24.What is the article mainly about? ‎ A.The history of the settement of the US. ‎ B. What a typical American is like.‎ C. The sad story of American Indians. ‎ D. American Indians‟ economic impact on the US.‎ ‎25.It can be inferred from the article that in the middle of the 19th century, American Indians______.‎ A.were driven from the US by the British government B.were regarded as a military “enemy” of the ‎US C.were finally granted US citizenship D.were required to live along the Mississippi River.‎ ‎26.What can learn about American Indians from the article?‎ A.There are few influential American Indians in US history.‎ B.Some of their languages are still used today.‎ C.The majority of them lived in the states of Ohio and Kansas.‎ D.American youths are becoming more informed of the suffering of the Indians.‎ ‎27.What is the author’s attitude toward the history of American Indians?‎ A.It’s miserable to be reminded of it. ‎ B.It’s important to learn from it.‎ C.He doesn’t have much interest in it. ‎ D.Every school should teach classes about it.‎ C I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.‎ I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job, and then became a full-time journalist. ‎ Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that---even if that excitement can come with a side of pain and frustration. ‎ I have lost count of the numbers of e-mails I have had ignored. I have spent hours at meetings listening as hard as I could for a story---only to go home empty-handed. ‎ Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke at night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story...then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which on name on it, only 100 words long. ‎ Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going. If you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great. ‎ I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas, and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, the residents phoned me, overjoyed. The managers had apologized and promised to change their ways. ‎ Journalism can be dangerous and dull, and the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. But it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making a difference- and telling the world about it.‎ ‎28.What is the article mainly about? ‎ A. Getting started in a career in journalism ‎ B. The author’s colorful experiences as a journalist. ‎ C. How you can be a good journalist. ‎ D. Why life is easier for male journalist.‎ ‎29. According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from_______. ‎ A. unfair treatment ‎ B. fruitless efforts ‎ C. misunderstanding ‎ D. danger and risks ‎30. What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that _______. ‎ A. she gets to see her name printed ‎ B. she earns a lot through writing fun stories ‎ C. she can meet different people and hear their stories ‎ D. she can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives ‎ ‎31. From the article we can conclude that the author_______. ‎ A. is not good at keeping secrets. ‎ B. does not mind the challenges in her career.‎ C. is not appreciated by her editor. ‎ D. is interested in exciting and dangerous work.‎ ‎ ‎ D Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps not in the way that you think.‎ According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, the best strategy isn’t offering money; it’s giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.‎ Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7,000 steps every day over 13 weeks.‎ To motivate the people who took part to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups.‎ People in the first group received $1,40(9 yuan) each day as long as they finished 7,000 steps, the second group was only able to collect the $1.40 if they had reached 7,000 steps the day before, and the third group was given $42 at the beginning of each month and $1.40 was taken away every time someone failed to meet the goal.‎ The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.‎ ‎“People are more motivated by losses than gains, and they like immediate gratification.” study author Dr Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the US, told CNN. “They want to be rewarded today, not next year or far into the future.”‎ Our brains tend to avoid wanting to lose things more than they try to get the benefits from gaining them, Patel explained. “It makes people think like the money is theirs to lose from day one.”‎ In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, Patel said.‎ ‎“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed.” he added.‎ The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentive （激励）, but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in the future, according to the study.‎ ‎“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant with the Aonplc corporation, told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s really important to change up the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”‎ ‎32.A cording to Dr Mitesh Patel, the third group did better than the other two groups mostly because______.‎ A.they were satisfide with being paid immediately B.they did not want the money they had gained to be taken away C.they were able to get more money than the other two groups D.they were given money at first while the others were not ‎33.By mentioning other similar programs, Dr Mitesh Patel intended to______.‎ A.prove that their program has been more successful B.show that motivation mattered more in other programs C.stress that they didn’t expert the result D.make a further comparison between these programs ‎34.What can we infer from Stephanie Pronk’s words?‎ A.Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit B.Incentives and ways in which they are given are key to fitness programs C.People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives D.There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more ‎35.We can learn from the study that for incentives to work______.‎ A.more benefits than losses should be obvious for participants B.direct profits should be given rather than long-term ones C.designers need to consider how people think about incentives D.designers need to work out the right from of motivation 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选择中有两项为多余选项。‎ Choosing the right college for you is not so easy.
