江西省丰城中学2015-2016学年高三下学期考试试题及答案

The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.

No Extra Cost to You

That’s right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.

What to Expect

The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it, where you’ll be given a pair of glasses. About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don’t worry about waiting time. People in the bright pink cinema are all standing on four levels. The top level is designed for wheelchairs.

London Eye 4D Film

Put on your glasses and enjoy yourself. The story is about a little girl visiting London with her father and she wants to be higher to get a better view so she comes to the London Eye. It differs from watching the 3D film for all your senses are involved. When it snows on screen, you feel it snows in the cinema. And when you watch the fireworks, you can really smell them.

For a short film, less than four minutes, before the main attraction you think you’ve come for, you are going to love this free extra. I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many others did. It’s fantastic! The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared. I was lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again.

B. He mainly introduces the London Eye entertainment centre.

C. He mainly tells us his experiences while creating the 4D film.

22. Why did the Merlin Entertainments build the 4D film cinema?

A. Because it wanted to attract more visitors to London.

B. Because it wanted to increase the value of the London Eye.

C. Because it could provide more entertainments for visitors.

D. Because it could earn more money from the public in the UK.

23. Where could people get into the 4D film cinema?

24. While seeing a 4D film, people will feel ________.

    Cell phones：Is there a cancer link?

    Worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes （疹子）to brain tumors ．

      Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．
    But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证)．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels  for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger．”
     Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been under way for several years．It’ s funded（provide money） in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．
25．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.   
A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancer
B．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone use
C．some experts have given warnings  

D．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors
26．By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones”, Dr Martha Linet thinks that_______.    
A．the connection between cell-phones and cancer has not been proved .
B．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phones

C．there is a link between cell phones and cancer
D．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer at all.
27．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

Move over Psy. There’s a new viral music video on the Internet that’s getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.

    The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At  123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say?” It’s a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.

    Actors in the video dress up like the animals they’re singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌).

    The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis Ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.

    On their website, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes — and that’s all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.

    The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they’re happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.

28.  What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?

  A. It featured the traditional style of Korean music.    B. It was difficult for people to follow.

   C. It was named after a new virus.                  D. It could make people relax a lot.

29. Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?

   A. It can catch the viewers’ heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.

   B. It features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style.

   C. It answers the question “What does the fox say?” exactly.

   D. It has the real animals in the video.

30. It can be inferred from the passage that nowadays most people ______.

   A. like to enjoy music with simple and easy style.

   B. have difficulty in understanding the viral movie music.

   C. are working hard for the advancement of classic music.

   D. are tired of many music videos which are popularized through Internet too quickly.

31.  The underlined word “off-guard” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

   A. Annoyed.         B. Offended.           C. Unexpected.         D. Relaxed.

A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.

An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.

“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.

His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.

With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.

 Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.

“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”

 “We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”

 Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.

“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”

However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

32. The device works by _______.

  A. helping keep the particles out with more masks

  B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field

  C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

  D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky

33. According to the passage, ______ .

  A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing

  B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors

  C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable

  D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution

34. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place…... ”?

  A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.

  B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.

  C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.

  D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.

35. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.

  A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

  B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

  C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

  D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

    Of course，there’s always the exception to the rule． 39  The social media shouldn’t punish you for having a lot going on! Just remember to take it easy after.

I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing    41     to change our attitude and our life.

The young musician Mr. Patrick was     42     onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he     43      beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his     44     smile.

Mr. Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which     45     him lame for life. However, as a child, he was     46     with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first     47     , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two     48     , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was     49     .“We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”

When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father     50     classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father      51      the night shift(夜班) in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my     52     .”

But even more than his     53     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that     54     my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how     55     he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     56     for over five minutes.

We all face misfortune in our lives.     57      , it’s not the hardship but how we     58     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     59      times, do we spend too much time feeling     60     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?
