江苏省南菁高级中学2017年自主招生英语模拟考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smart phones today. We also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.

    Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London. He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses. He said "In the real world, we can open up the glass, open the window. We can touch, we can taste, we can smell in the real world."

    To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极)that are placed on the tongue. A chemical process creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.

    "You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain."

    A device(设备)called "Scentee" permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.

    Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents(pleasant smells) run out.

Are You Right Handed or Left Handed?

    Which hand do you use when write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don't be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).

    In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.

    What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They concluded(得出结论) that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It's simply like the color of our eyes—some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.

    However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.

    Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.

    If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you're mixed handed, you can probably remember.

Reading comprehension

We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses (太阳镜). We do lots of things to protect our eyes. But we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears. 

Ears help us hear the world {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Once this happens, it's hard to get your hearing back. So how can we protect our ear ■■■take a look together. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}During the winter, protect your ears with a hat or a scarf.

Keep your ears clean

Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax (耳屎) builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt (污垢).

Don't clean your ears with anything sharp (尖锐的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

How to use headphones (耳机)

Don't listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones' maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. They do a better job of stopping outside noise so you can. listen at a lower volume.

Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once

A. How to use your ears.

B. Keep your ears dry and warm.

C. Over—the—ear headphones are better than in—ear ones.

D. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.

E. But many things, such as loud noises, can cause hearing loss (听力丧失).

F. Also, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen (防晒霜) on your ears.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey(金丝猴) is a special kind of monkey that mainly lives high up in the mountains in China, Vietnam and Burma. They have a flat nose that points up, which is really two nostrils(鼻孔). This helps them breathe well in the thin air up high in the mountains. Their fur is golden and very thick, which not only keeps them warm in the cold mountain weather but also helps them go well with their forest homes.

These monkeys like to live together in groups with a big, strong male monkey as their leader. The leader protects the group and guides them to food. They communicate with each other through sounds and body movements.

Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys spend most of their time in the trees. They love to climb trees and jump from branch to branch. They are very good at moving around in the trees. They eat mostly plants like leaves and fruits, but they also eat insects and small animals when available. Sadly, these animals are not common to see because of human activities. Many trees are cut down every year. We need to help protect these monkeys and their homes.

These monkeys are very beautiful and important for the mountains. They are a symbol of nature's beauty and a reminder of our duty to protect the environment. By learning about them and helping to keep their homes safe, we can make sure that people in the future can also see these wonderful animals that live in the mountains.
