横峰中学2016-17学年度上学期周练（第15周）高三年级英语试卷考试日期：12月6日阅读理解：ACounterfeit (假冒的) goods, or false versions of products, may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year. The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers. But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem. Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume. But in the first year of running her business, she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.Ms. Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application called Barcode (条码) Scanner. The app is used to authenticate (验证) products. It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit.“With this application I'm able to scan the bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date, the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety,” she says. “That way, I have confidence in selling to my customers.”In 2010, Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, or ACA, to fight against illegal trade. The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.Agnes Karingu is the agency’s acting director for research and awareness. She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.“We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS progr ams, bar codes and information sharing,” she says. “The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information, and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual pr operty rights holders.”The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous. The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode. The barcode information is sent to a database. Then a result is sent back to the app.The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization. It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (万亿) this year.28. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A.

When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They thinkthis is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. 36 In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusionwas that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings. 37 A personwho is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood, and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 38Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research onSAD has been focused on the brain’s respons e to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. 39 It takesover to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encou rage peopleto take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computersand the indoor games and get out there in the sun. 40 ”A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Bi lly Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”A. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.B. That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.C. Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.D. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.E. Yet that link has no scientific basis.F. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.G. It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year.完形填空41．A.shared B.played C.served D.held42．A.accompanied B.employed C.attended D.supported 43．ually B.extremely C.really D.eventually 44．A.breakup B.date C.sympathy D.concern45．A.so B.but C.and D.or46．A.moved B.slipped C.came D.returned47．A.pleased B.satisfied C.occupied D.bored 48．A.shabby B.empty C.warm D.cozy49．A.turn up B.hang out C.go away D.break in50．A.dealt B.discounted C.wrapped D.donated51．A.tired B.nervous C.excited D.upset52．A.called up B.called for C.called on D.called in53．A.down B.up C.aside D.about54．A.hugging B.bowing C.crossing D.bending55．A.how B.which C.what D.that56．A.cases B.limits C.losses D.worries57．A.lonely cated C.shy D.wealthy58．A.possibility B.sight C.sadness D.hardship59．A.surprise B.defeat C.prize D.credit60．A.select B.value C.save D.admit语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
