A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ea

24、r increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesnt make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists dont know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Stud

25、ies like this one are attempting to find it out.The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but

26、 the participants couldnt hear it because the sound was off.With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the

27、 participants were given PET scans.The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participants brain hadnt changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. Thes

28、e right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests that the brain cells there were active even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone.Henry Lai, who work

29、s at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new

30、study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology.For those who dont want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a

31、speakerphone or keep the phone away from your head.51. Which of the following statement is true?A. Scientists are sure that cell phones are bad for the brain.B. In the experiment, the left side of the brain used more glucose.C. Radiation from the phone probably causes the change in the brain.D. Henr

32、i Lai wrote a lot of articles about this new study.52. Why werent the participants allowed to have a conversation on the phone during the experiment?A. Because that would be too noisy and bad for the experiment.B. Because they really looked strange and no one wanted to talk to others.C. Because they

33、 were given PET scans and they lost the ability to talk.D. Because the scientists want to be sure of the accuracy of the experiment.53. What is glucose?A. A type of sugar that provides vitamin to brain cells. B. Something that the right side of the brain used. C. A type of sugar that gives energy to

34、 brain cells. D. Something that makes a human excited.54. According to the last two paragraphs, which is the safest way to use a cell phone? A. Holding the cell phone close to your head. B. Using a cell phone more than three hours a day.C. Taking the most powerful cell phone.D. Keeping the cell phon

35、e at a distance.55. Where is this article probably taken from? A. Literature magazine. B. Science News. C. Story books. D. Art Journal.BGlobal warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, butregardless of whether it is or isnt we wont do much about it. We will argue

36、over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path

37、to a solution. But the real truth is that we dont know enough to relieve global warming, andwithout major technological breakthroughswe cant do much about it. From 2003 to 2050, the worlds population is estimated to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and t

38、echnology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But thats too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn（注定）the worlds poor people to their present poverty and freeze everyone e

39、lses living standards. With modest economic growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050. No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicia

40、ns want to show theyre “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didnt. But it hasnt reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didnt adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. The p

41、ractical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has bec

42、ome a moral problem when its really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we dont solve the engineering problem, were helpless. 56. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all. B. It is an issue requiring worldwide comm

43、itments. C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it. D. Very little will be done to bring it under control. 57. According to the authors understanding, what is A1 Gores view on global warming? A. It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of. B. It is a phenomenon that causes

44、us many inconveniences. C. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized. D. It is an area we actually have little knowledge about. 58. Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _. A. economic growth B. wasteful use of energy C. the widening gap between the rich and po

45、or D. the rapid advances of science and technology 59. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, _. A. politicians have started to do something to better the situation B. few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use C. reductions in energy consumption hav

46、e greatly cut back global warming D. international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems 60. What is the message the author intends to convey? A. Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one. B. The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology. C

47、. The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs. D. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming. CI dont ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what its li

48、ke to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did

49、 not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievementjobs, research papers, awardswas viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failur

50、es. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all

51、 provocations（挑衅）: I dont talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didnt want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I dont study sociology or political

52、 theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a womens college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific res

53、earch and a desire for children. And I dont dismiss those concerns. Still, I dont tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of scien

54、ce. And thats a sight worth talking about. 61. Why doesnt the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again? A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination. C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind. D. She finds spac

55、e research more important.62. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would owe the authors failures to _. A. the very fact that she is a woman B. her involvement in gender politics C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society 63. What did

56、the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle. C. Peoples stereotyped attitude toward female scientists. D. Widespread misconceptions about natu

57、re and nurtured. 64. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class? A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues. B. Her students performance has brought back her confidence. C. Her female students can do just as well as male students. D. More female stu

58、dents are pursuing science than before. 65. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest? A. Women students neednt have the concerns of her generation. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. D. Wo

59、men now have fewer problems pursuing a science career. D1When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?2Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented,

60、are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.3Some people think there

61、 are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often

62、 extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of thes

63、e people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experience

64、d and committed than some youngsters.4Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. A

65、ctually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work

66、 purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their lifes labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who cant find jobs because old people are choosin

67、g not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine. 5With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this ca

68、n affect the older individuals freedom and right to work and can deprive（剥夺）society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.66. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To explain the

69、 compulsory age limit. B. To discuss the retirement age. C. To examine peoples working life. D. To introduce a particular stage.67. Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage? A. Their contribution should be valued. B. Their experience

70、 should be made use of. C. They can help the youngsters. D. They are loyal employees.68. It can be inferred in the fourth passage that _. A. the young people have more creative spirits B. Modern advances in medicine make old people never die C. Pensions and freedom are not given to the old now D. ol

71、d people believe that a younger person could do better 70. What is the authors opinion on the retirement age? A. The author thinks when to retire depends on the employees themselves. B. The author is against lengthening the retirement age. C. The author thinks that retirement age varies from country

72、 to country. D. The author is in favor of allowing old people to continue working. 注意：交卷时只交答题卡和II 卷。 天津一中2014-2015-1高三年级三月考英语试卷答案 阅读答题71. Men dont seek medical care as often as women. 72.

For one thing, bicycles dont need any petrol and they are energy saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because th

74、ey wont give off waste gas. Whats more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore, lets take the responsibility to build up a low carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!Version 2Good morning, everyone, I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middl
