If so, here are some old­fashioned words you should remove from your vocabulary list. Whippersnapper As an alteration of the term “snippersnapper”， the word first appeared in the 17th century, expressing our ancestors' annoyance at ill­mannered children.In its more contemporary version, the word relates to a young person who is too confident and does not show enough respect to older. Tape Are you born in the 1980s? If so, you may still be using the term “tape” when speaking of recording music or TV shows.Today, though digital media has made data storage on magnetic an outdated thing, this old linguistic habit still exists. Stewardess In the earlier age of air travel, female crew members serving airline passengers were called stewardesses.It was the development of women's rights movement in the 1960s that the word fell out of use.“Stewardess” was replaced by a more gender­neutral term，“flight attendant”． Dungarees What we know as “jeans” today were once called “dungarees” to refer to trousers made of denm(蓝粗棉布).As traders began importing the cloth from Genoa in Italy, this kind of trousers got a new name “jeans”．So don't be surprised if you catch your grandpa saying dungarees. [语篇导读]　这是一篇应用文。文章分别介绍了四种有些过时的语言表达。 1．Who can be described as a whippersnapper nowadays? A．A child who is bad­tempered． B．An elder who doesn't like children. C．An elder who has confidence and influence. D．A teenager who is overconfident and impolite. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一则信息“ In its more contemporary version, the word relates to a young person who is too confident and does not show enough respect to older.(在其更现代的版本中，该词指的是一个年轻人太自信了，对老年人没有足够的尊重。)”可知whippersnapper在当今时代用来形容一个过分自信和不礼貌的青少年。故选D。 答案　D 2．Which of the following has become out of date with digital technology? A．Whippersnapper.　 B．Tape. C．Stewardess. D．Dungarees. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二则信息“Today, though digital media has made data storage on magnetic an outdated thing, this old linguistic habit still exists.(如今，尽管数字媒体已经使磁性数据存储变得过时了，但这种古老的语言习惯仍然存在。)”可推知磁带已经随着数字技术的发展而过时。故选B。 答案　B 3．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A．To show readers how to stay young. B．To explain how to keep up with the times. C．To analyze the differences among modern words. D．To advise readers not to use some old­fashioned words. 解析　推理判断题。根据首段“If so, here are some old­fashioned words you should remove from your vocabulary list.(如果是这样，那么你应该从词汇表中删除一些老式的单词。)”并结合全文理解可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是劝告读者不要使用一些过时的单词。故选D。 答案　D B (湖南名校联考高二期末)The variety of choices today, especially in entertainment and products, is almost beyond comprehension. Going shopping? There's exponentially more to choose from at your local supermarket in almost every category.It's not just groceries, of course.Need a power saw? How about paint for your wall? So many options you could reasonably throw up your hands in despair. Yet, I'm willing to bet if someone asked you whether you'd prefer more choices in life or fewer, you'd pick more.“Since, why not? More is better, right？” However, here's what you lose when you have unlimited choices.First, peace of mind．It's stressful to have to go through an enormous menus of options, since it takes effort to sift through the pros and cons of each, and what if you choose wrong? In an often cited study done at Wharton, customers in a gourmet grocery story were watched as they passed a display of either 6 or 24 types of jam.While more customers were drawn to the larger display, only 3 percent of shoppers who passed by bought jam at that table. But beyond our confusion when we're faced with enormous choices, we have also lost a sense of community.Those three national TV networks back in the day aired shows that nearly everyone watched and that you could talk about with the confidence that they were well known by all.Today, you can't assume that any of your friends or coworkers are on the same page. It's nice, of course, that there are so many choices.But the downside is that at a time when our society is crying for unity, some interest groups often cut off their fans from the rest of our society. Obviously, we cannot change the present situation.Even as we feel overwhelmed by choice, we certainly wouldn't want someone else to decide which choices we should give up for the sake of peace of mind．But I do sometimes miss the days when decision­making wasn't always a detailed search among endless possibilities for that one, shining, perfect choice that we will never find． [语篇导读]　这是一篇说明文。主要说明了今天大家面对的选择越来越多，指出了更多的选择的负面影响，最后作者表明自己的观点，怀念以前选择不多的日子。 4．What is the function of the second paragraph? A．To put forward a view point. B．To provide some advice for the readers. C．To give more examples of choice today. D．To introduce a new topic for discussion. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段“The variety of choices today, especially in entertainment and products, is almost beyond comprehension.(今天，选择的多样性，尤其是在娱乐和产品方面，几乎令人难以理解。)”以及第二段“Going shopping? There's exponentially more to choose from at your local supermarket in almost every category.It's not just groceries, of course.Need a power saw? How about paint for your wall? So many options you could reasonably throw up your hands in despair.(去购物吗？在你当地的超市里，几乎每一类商品都有成倍的可供选择。当然，不仅仅是食品杂货。需要电锯吗？粉刷你的墙怎么样？这么多的选择，你完全可以绝望地放弃。)”可知，第一段提出今天大家面对的选择很多，第二段进一步补充了不仅是日常生活用品的零售，甚至在购买电锯和油漆时，人们都会面对众多的选择。故选C。 答案　C 5．According to the passage, which is NOT the downside of the variety of choices today? A．It drives us apart. B．It makes us lose peace of mind． C．It provides endless possibilities. D．It makes us lose a sense of community. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“However, here's what you lose when you have unlimited choices.First, peace of mind．(然而，当你有无限的选择时，你会失去以下东西。第一，心态平和。)”；第五段“But beyond our confusion when we're faced with enormous choices, we have also lost a sense of community.(但是，当我们面对巨大的选择时，除了我们的困惑之外，我们还失去了一种社区意识。)”以及第六段“But the downside is that at a time when our society is crying for unity, some interest groups often cut off their fans from the rest of our society.(但缺点是，在我们社会呼吁团结的时候，一些利益集团经常把他们的粉丝与我们社会的其他人隔离开来。)”可知，C选项“它提供了无限的可能性” 不是今天各种选择的缺点。故选C。 答案　C 6．What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A．The author is willing to have others make a choice for him. B．The author prefers the days when there weren't so many choices. C．The author wants to sacrifice his peace of mind to make a choice. D．The author thinks we should make a detailed search before making decisions. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“But I do sometimes miss the days when decision­making wasn't always a detailed search among endless possibilities for that one, shining, perfect choice that we will never find．(但我确实有时会怀念那些日子，那时做决定并不总是在无尽的可能性中仔细寻找那个我们永远也找不到的、闪亮的、完美的选择。)”可推知，作者更喜欢没有那么多选择的日子。故选B。 答案　B 7．What's the best title for the article? A．More is not better B．Live in the moment C．Be brave to make a choice D．So many goods to choose from 解析　主旨大意题。根据第三段“Yet, I'm willing to bet if someone asked you whether you'd prefer more choices in life or fewer, you'd pick more.‘Since, why not? More is better, right？’(然而，我敢打赌，如果有人问你是希望生活中有更多的选择还是更少的选择，你会选择更多。“因为，为什么不呢？越多越好，对吧？”)”结合文章主要说明了今天大家面对的选择越来越多，指出了更多的选择的负面影响，最后作者表明自己的观点，怀念以前选择不多的日子。由此可知，A选项“更多并不意味着更好”最符合文章标题。故选A。 答案　A C (新高考Ⅱ卷)Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world．The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books”，artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed(描绘)alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated．From a 21st­century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery­powered e­reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words under­lined．And in contrast to our increasingly net­worked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off­line”activity. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《阅读艺术：书籍爱好者的艺术》一书，说明了阅读书籍的意义和价值，引导同学们思考电子书和印刷书如何使用，培养学生的思辨性思维。 8．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing. C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings. 解析　语篇出处题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段“Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration…three hundred artworks from museums around the world．”可知，《阅读艺术：书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书里展示了来自世界各地博物馆的近300件艺术品，本文主要是对该书内容的介绍。可以推知，本文最有可能摘自书的序言。故选A。 答案　A 9．What are the selected artworks about? A．Wealth and intellect. B．Home and school. C．Books and reading. D．Work and leisure. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.(艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点。)”可知，选定的艺术品是关于书籍和阅读的。故选C。 答案　C 10．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．The printed book is not totally out of date. B．Technology has changed the way we read． C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked． D．People now rarely have the patience to read． 解析　推理判断题。通过最后一段“it remains as interactive as any battery­powered e­reader(它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性)”以及“a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, ‘off­line’ activity(印刷书籍仍然提供了完全私人的“离线”活动的机会)”可知，本文作者提到电子阅读器想表达的是印刷书籍并没有完全过时。故选A。 答案　A D (张家口高二期末)A “Quick Response Code”， also known as QR code is a type of barcode that Denso Wave developed, a Japanese barcode developer, in 1994. The use of technology saves people's efforts in labor.In the early 1960s, the economy of Japan entered high economic growth.During this period, supermarkets and convenience stores thrived and were selling a wide variety of goods ranging from food to clothing.To keep up with the demand for checkout counters, cash registers(收银机)were widely used．Due to the heavy workload, cashiers on the checkout counters experienced numbness on their wrists and developed a kind of disease.As a solution to the problem, the Point of Sales(POS)system was developed and included the use of barcodes. In the long run, developers noticed the problem barcodes held．The limit of 20 alphanumeric characters was not long enough in holding a product's information and the position of how a barcode is scanned leads to scan failures.Denso Wave stepped in and invented a new type of barcode that could hold more information and could be scanned in any scanner direction.Thus, QR code was introduced in 1994 and has made history up to today. Today, QR codes are generally used in advertising, business, health care, and education.There are two types of QR codes: Static QR codes and Dynamic QR codes.Static QR codes are QR codes that are free and permanent.This type of QR code is not modifiable(可修改的)and therefore cannot change the data stored in the QR code.Dynamic QR codes are QR codes that are modifiable in content and can store more data even after you have printed it into the paper.

A．Remained stable. B．Developed rapidly. C．Slowed down. D．Started off. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第二段“In the early 1960s, the economy of Japan entered high economic growth.(早在20世纪60年代，日本的经济进入了快速发展时期。)”可知，超市和便利店“快速发展”。故选B。 答案　B 14．What problem was POS system intended to deal with?

You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 16 It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 17 Any small interruption—a price check, a chatty customer can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line. If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers.Think about the probability: 18 So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster. Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line—called a serpentine line—and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 19 This is what they do at most banks and fast­food restaurants.With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall. 20 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck. A．Why does this always seem to happen to you? B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines? C．Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour. D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three. E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line? F．With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach. G．But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.

She thought she could do something to help him. She told Tom that education was the key to transforming his life. Determined to make a difference, Lucy gave Tom a sum of money so that he could afford his tuition fee(学费). Moved by Lucy's kindness and genuine concern, Tom was filled with gratitude.

Years passed, and Tom worked hard and never gave up. He did really well in his chosen job and people respected him. Even though he achieved a lot, he never forgot how kind Lucy was to him. One day, fate made Tom see Lucy when she was having a tough time. Even after a long time, Tom recognized her right away and knew he owed her something.
