But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we'll forget __1__ we've put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for __2__ owner to claim it, otherwise it'll remain alone as a deserted umbrella. Once I suddenly found my longtime used umbrella “disappeared”. I really got lost __3__regretted quite some time for my own carelessness. Several days later, out of my __4__(expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar __5__ me, I found for the first time that its wooden handle __6__(wear) out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid __7__(much) attention to it.
It sets me __8__(think). Around us there is always a person giving us support in silence just like __9__ old umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather. Will you think of those individuals __10__ have helped you get through difficulty when you are leading a comfortable life?

NASA has recently found a twin Earth in the Milky Way. Scientists said the planet was the closest to Earth that has been seen.
Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old. It has a 385-day year and orbits its star at the same distance as us. It is so like Earth that NASA believes it is possible that life once inhabited the planet. Kepler 452b is 60 percent larger in diameter (直徑) than Earth. Scientists say that the planet received the same kind of sunshine as we do on Earth. Thus, plants could survive if taken to the planet.
Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth, scientists say it can show a possible future for earth. “If Kepler 452b is indeed a rocky planets, its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.” Said Doug Caldwell, a scientist working on the Kepler Mission.
According to Caldwell, the increasing energy from its aging sun might be heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. Kepler 452b could be experiencing now what Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter.
The discovery also gives new hope that alien(外星人) civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System. “We won’t be going to this planet but our children’s children’s children might be.” said Jeff Coughlin, another research scientist on the Kepler Mission.
The Kepler space telescope (太空望遠鏡) has been looking for signs of new worlds outside the Solar System since May 2009, and has so far found more than 4,000 planets. But those planets are either too hot or too cold to sustain life.
（注：Kepler Mission NASA 設(shè)計的發(fā)現(xiàn)類地行星的太空探索任務(wù)）
1. The following statements about Kepler 452b (Earth 2) are all correct except ________.
A. It has existed for six billion years.
B. It is 60% larger in diameter than the earth.
C. It has already entered an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history
D. It is the closest planet to the earth.
2. The importance of the discovery of Earth2 lies in the fact that Earth2 ________.
① can show a likely future for the earth
② gives new hope that alien civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System
③ proves that life once inhabited the planet
④ proves that plants can survive on other planets apart from the eartth.
⑤ is going through now what the earth will undergo more than a billion years from now
A. ④⑤ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ①②
3. What can we infer from the text?
A. The earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years.
B. Kepler 452b is one of the planets in the Milky Way.
C. Doug Caldwel and Jeff Coughlin are both research scientists on the Kepler Mission.
D. More than 4,000 planets outside the Solar System still cannot sustain life now.
1. C. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“…its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.”可知，“它的位置可能意味著它正在進入它的氣候歷史中不可控制的溫室階段”的說法只是一種推想，而不是已經(jīng)進入了。句中的“could”是關(guān)鍵詞，它表明了一種假想的情況。故答案為C項。
2. D. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話和第五段第一句話可知，答案應(yīng)為D項。
3. A. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句話“Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old.”和第三段第一句話中的“Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth,…”可以推知答案應(yīng)為A項。即地球存在的時間是：（6 billion –1.5billion = 4.5 billion）年。其余各項雖然表述是正確答，但都是原文直接提到的內(nèi)容，不是推斷出來的。
閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項。
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important
C. newly-built bands can only perform by road
D. to form a band is very simple
答案：D 推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中“First...”所在的句子可看出作者認為組成一個樂隊非常簡單。
2．If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. to experience failure again and again
答案：C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知C項正確。
3．From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. Detroit was founded by African-Americans
答案：B 細節(jié)題。依據(jù)該段中“.. where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry.”而確定選B項。
4．From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars________.
A. used to be miners
B. used to dress poorly
C. became perfect little by little
D. came from Berry Gordy's hometown
答案：C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知C項是最佳選項。
【2016高考訓(xùn)練題】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。
??? At the beginning of every year we promise ourselves we will live a healthier life, and exercise more. The year tarts with the best of intentions, but many times we are unable to keep up with very high goals. Good news is that a healthy lifestyle is achievable and it's all about making small changes that make a difference.
??? News on healthy lifestyles says that the key is moderation and consistency. There are so many health and well-being products out there in the market promising many things. And although many may be true, select carefully.
??? The basics of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a balanced diet and doing regular exercise. By eating well, it means really to make sure you include plenty of vegetables and fruit preferably in season in your diet, avoid fried and junk foods and foods high in sugar as well as processed foods. Eating fresh homemade meals rather than ready-made meals, which are high in salt and sugar, is always the better option. Reducing alcohol intake, drinking plenty of water and supplementing your diet with healthy snacks like nuts and seeds.
??? For external care choose natural skin care products and hair care oil. Natural beauty care involves using natural moisturizers（保濕劑）like Argan oil, Coconut oil and Sweet Almond oil. These nourish（滋養(yǎng)） the skin far more than counter creams full of chemicals. Skin reflects what we put inside of us, so a healthy diet with plenty of greens and healthy protein will make your skin brighter.
??? Of course exercise is essential but the key is regular and consistent exercise. So walking three times a week for 45 minutes is much more beneficial than a binge workout once a week.
1. Why can't we keep up with our goals according to the passage?
?? A. The goals are too high to achieve.
?? B. We have a large amount of work to do.
?? C. We are naturally lazy and never do exercise.
?? D. The reason isn't given in the passage.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
?? A. we should think twice before choosing heath products
?? B. the key to a healthy lifestyle is getting enough sleep
?? C. food high in salt and sugar is the best choice for us
?? D. we should walk once a day for a healthy lifestyle
3. What can we learn from the passage?
?? A. We cannot form a healthy lifestyle if we are busy.
?? B. We can eat some junk food in order to save money.
?? C. Our skin shows whether we have a healthy diet.
?? D. Health products are not good for our health.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about?
?? A. How to achieve our goals.
?? B. The best way to take exercise.
?? C. How to make a difference in life.
?? D. Suggestions for a healthy lifestyle.

Walk down the drinks section at the supermarket.Look in the drink cooler in your local convenience store.A new drink is taking up more and more space on the shelves，and that drink is water.Bottled water sales in the US rose to 1.7 billion gallons in 2010 for plastic bottles alone，compared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.Whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged (特權(quán)階層)，it is now regularly drunk by people at all income levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water.What accounts for this surprising increase in demand?
Traditionally，people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.The practice of “taking the waters” originated with the Romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.Across Europe，drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.Health spas at Evian in France and Pellegrino in Italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.The consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health.However，in America，where the habit of drinking bottled water is relatively new，the concern is often more related to the purity or sterilization (消毒) of the water than to its mineral contents.Americans are often worried about the effects of the chemical pollution and other contaminants on the water supply.Many Americans view bottled water as a safe alternative to tap water.
Further reasons for drinking bottled water are its usefulness as an aid to digestion，as a complement to a good meal in a restaurant，and for taste.City tap water is often treated with chlorine (氯) to guard against harmful micro-organisms.Chlorine，as well as metals from pipes and tanks used to distribute and store tap water，can leave behind an unpleasant taste.
【語篇解讀】 本文從兩個方面分析了瓶裝水銷量提高的原因。
1．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Bottled water was once drunk both by the rich and the poor.
B．Bottled water sales have risen，for it’s cheaper than tap water.
C．Europeans believed in the power of treatment of mineral water.
D．Americans have had the habit of drinking bottled water for long.
解析 正誤判斷題。由文章第二段的第三句可知，在整個歐洲，飲用或用礦泉水洗澡已經(jīng)與治愈各種疾病的能力聯(lián)系起來。
答案 C
2．People prefer bottled water because________.
A．it does good to their health
B．it has chlorine to make it taste good
C．it contains no mineral pollution at all
D．it’s a practice originated with the Romans
解析 細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段的第一句“Traditionally，people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.”可知答案。
答案 A
3．The underlined word “contaminants” most probably means________.
A．pollutants B．micro-organisms
C．chemicals D．minerals

A．How Bottled Water Originated
B．“Taking the Waters” Has Been Practiced for Long
C．What’s the Safe Alternative to Tap Water
D．Why Bottled Water Sales Increase

For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and become established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.
Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，Head of Fashion at St.Martin’s School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities，“We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self-expression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.

【2016高考訓(xùn)練題】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。
Regardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(學(xué)院風(fēng)格) look is what sophisticated(高雅時髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.
Italy
Italy is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.
Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(講究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!
Sweden
Retail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “l(fā)ess is more” philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lack creativity.
France
The French have a chic(別致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love — and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,” said The Huffington Post.
