B．popularC．worthwhile D．unique解析：選C推理判斷題。文章第三段提到了他的文章發(fā)表了，第四段講述了他的文章中提到利用12-pointGaramond將節(jié)約大概29%的油墨費用，故C項正確。11．WhichfontdoesSuvirrecommendinprinting?A．Garamond. B．TimesNewRoman.C．Verdana. D．CenturyGothic.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句可知，Garamond最節(jié)省油墨，Suvir推薦這種字體進行印刷，故A項正確。12．Itcanbeinferredfromthelastparagraphthat________.A．SuvirfeelsregretfulthattheschooldistrictshowsnointerestinhisideaB．SuvirisuncertainwhethertheschooldistrictwillaccepthisideaC．SuvirbelievesthattheschooldistrictwillagreewithhimD．Suvirisunhappythattheschooldistrictrefusedhim解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Suvir說的話可知，他的學(xué)區(qū)雖然知道了這一觀點，但卻沒有做出改變，因為他明白要做出改變是很困難的，也就是他并不確信他的學(xué)區(qū)能否接受這一觀點，故B項正確。D(2016·洛陽市高三模擬)ResearchersattheUniversityofKansassaythatpeoplecanaccuratelyjudge90percentofastranger’spersonalitysimplybylookingattheperson’sshoes.“Shoesconveyathinbutusefulpieceofinformationabouttheirwearer，”theauthorswroteinthenewstudypublishedintheJournalofResearchinPersonality.“Shoesserveapracticalpurpose,andalsoserveasnonverbalcues(非語言暗示)withsymbolicmessages.Peopletendtopayattentiontotheshoestheyandotherswear.”MedicalDailynotesthatthedetailedpersonalityinformationdetectedinthestudyincludesaperson’sgeneralage,gender,income,politicalideas,andotherpersonality,includingsomeone’semotionalstability.LeadresearcherOmriGillathsaidthejudgmentswerebasedonthestyle,cost,colorandconditionofsomeone’sshoes.Inthestudy,63studentsfromtheUniversityofKansaslookedatpicturesshowing208differentpairsofshoeswornbythestudy’sparticipants.Volunteersinthestudywerephotographedintheirmostcommonlywornshoes,andthenfilledoutapersonalityquestionnaire.Someoftheresultswereexpected:peoplewithhigherincomemostcommonlyworeexpensiveshoes,andflashierfootwearwastypicallywornbyoutgoingpeople.However,someresultsarefunnyandinteresting.Forexample,“practicalandfunctional”shoesweregenerallywornbymore“agreeable”people,whileanklebootsweremorecloselyaligned_withthe“aggressive”personality.Thestrangestofallmaybethatthosewhowore“uncomfortablelooking”shoestendtohavethe“calm”personality.Theresearchersnotedthatsomepeoplewouldchooseshoestylestomasktheiractualpersonalityinformation,butresearchersnotedthatvolunteerswerealsolikelytobeunawarethattheirfootwearchoiceswererevealingdeepinsightsintotheirpersonality.eq語篇解讀：不要以貌取人，但你知道嗎：一個人的鞋子能反映出一個人的性格。13．AccordingtoParagraph2,whichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE?A．Theshoespeoplewearmayreflecttheinformationofthewearer.B．Peoplewouldalwayslookatstrangers’shoeswithapracticalpurpose.C．Shoesaresofunnyandinterestingthattheyattractpeople’smuchattention.D．Peoplepayattentiontoshoesinordertoknowtheinformationoftheshoes.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段的“Shoesconveyathinbutusefulpieceofinformationabouttheirwearer”告訴我們：鞋子可能傳達穿戴者的一些信息，故A項正確。14．Accordingtothetext,theresearchersdidthestudyby________.A．doingcasualinterviewsB．carryingoutlabexperimentsC．a(chǎn)nalyzingthedatafromtheparticipantsD．observingtheparticipants解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段的最后一句以及第五段可推斷出，研究者們是根據(jù)分析參與者的資料進行研究的，故C項正確。15．Theunderlinedpart“alignedwith”probablymeans“________”．A．familiarwith B．relatedtoC．providedwith D．devotedto解析：選B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的“’practicalandfunctional’shoesweregenerallywornbymore’agreeable’people,whileankleboots...’aggressive’personality”可知，討人喜歡的人穿實用的鞋子，而有攻擊性的人喜歡穿短靴，由此可知bealignedwith＝berelatedto，意為“與……有關(guān)”。故B項正確。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五(2016·內(nèi)蒙古包頭市學(xué)業(yè)水平測試與評估)HowtoGetMotivatedYoumustthinkpositivelynomatterhowbigachallengeis.Ifyouthinkpositivelyyouwillfeelbetterandwillbeabletoovercomechallengesinlife.Furthermore,meetanoptimisticpersonandyouwillnoticehowmotivatedheistowardslife.__1__Ontheotherhand,negativethinkingwillonlycausemoredepressioninyourlife.__2__Don’tbejealousofthosewhoaresuccessfularoundyou.Instead,takeinspirationfromtheirsuccessstories.Thiswillmakeyoumotivatedtogetwhatyouwant.Moreover,youcanalsoreadbooksthatarewrittenbyinspirationalandsuccessfulpe
