1.【题文】The TV program, A Bite of China, featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted countless viewers, and moved many to tears．A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the view of food．The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious work．Some people see patriotism （爱国精神）in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export．How did this documentary achieve a great influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?“It is not empty propaganda （宣传）about China’s splendid food culture．Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord （共鸣）with the audience,”an Internet user said．The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality．Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality．A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success．“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,” said director Chen Xiaoqing．Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced．Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success．1．The underlined words “be attributed to” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by ．A．be caused by B．contribute to C．be devoted toD．result in2．What can you mainly find in A Bite of China?A．Relations between people and food．B．Real lives of all Chinese people．C．Patriotic stories of Chinese people．D．Process of preparing food．3．What can we infer from the passage?A．The documentary is so successful that no one can surpass it．B．Different people can get different messages from the documentary．C．The documentary should have shown China’s splendid food culture．D．Many art works fail to reflect reality and high technology．4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Director’s respect and love for food．B．The secret of the documentary’s success．C．The influence of the documentary．D．The popularity of the documentary．【答案】AABB【解析】【试源】2016届山西省高三假期综合练习试题（七）【结束】2.【题文】When I started a novel when I was younger, I wanted to finish it the next day．When I started a business, I wanted to sell it a day later．When I started graduate school, I was already planning how I was going to be the fastest PhD in history．Around the time that I had planned on receiving that PhD, I ended up getting thrown out．“Lack of maturity （成熟）,”the letter said．I don’t believe that “life is short”．Sometimes it feels very long．I wish every day was already over just so I could get to the next．And the next．An imaginary tomorrow always seems to be better than today in my head．This makes me think of my hero, Gene Wolfe, a great inventor and writer．Gene Wolfe was given the task of taking a baked potato, pressing it down, and slicing it up so that it could fit into a tennis ball can．Well, he did it．He invented Pringles （品客薯片）．Many normal human beings, not as devoted to status and creativity as Gene was, might say: “OK, that’s my life’s achievement．I’ve created an easily storable food based on a vegetable that will please children and adults for decades, maybe centuries．” If I were Gene I would have rested on what I have achieved and played golf with friends．But Gene knew the magic secret: one page a day．He writes a page a day．A page is about 300 words．A paragraph or two．Can you do that? Gene ended up writing 50 published novels, including many bestsellers and award-winners．He didn’t get stereotyped and put in that Pringles can．He did what he loved to do．That’s what keeps you alive every day．Life is too long, but you shouldn’t reject the opportunities in front of you every day．I was talking to James Manos, the creator of Dexter．He said: “My definition of success is not being able to tell the difference between work and pleasure．”It’s OK if right now the two are separate for you．Today is a new day．This is my page today．1．When the author started graduate school, _____．A．he made up his mind to finish a novel before graduationB．he decided to follow his hero’s example and start a businessC．he didn’t expect to end up being thrown outD．he realized that life is too short to be wasted2．Which of the following about Gene Wolfe is NOT true?A．He is the person who invented Pringles．B．He is the author’s role model．C．Some of his novels are very popular．D．He usually finishes his books in just a few days．3．With the article, the author mainly wants to tell us that _____．A．work and pleasure are equally important in lifeB．opportunities play a big part in successC．we should make the most of every dayD．we should always be hopeful about tomorrow【答案】CDC【解析】【试源】2016届山西省高三假期综合练习试题（七）【结束】3.【题文】U．S Bank ScholarshipAre you a United States citizen and a high school senior or college undergraduate student?

species of frog was found in New York, Scientists were surprised．Three years ago, Rutgers University science student Jeremy Feinberg heardsomething strange as he listened to southern leopard frog calls．Instead of the normal repeated croaking （呱呱地叫）of most frogs, he heard just one single cluck （咯咯叫）．“When I first heard these fro gs calling, I knew something was very off,” Feinberg explains．Feinberg walked around New York and New Jersey listening to the sounds and collecting samples．He shared his research with biologist Catherine E．Newman who was studying leopard frogs．Newman ana lyzed the frog’s DN A．She compared the new frog’s DNA with theDNA of southern and northern leopard frogs．Even though the frogs looked nearly the same, their DNA was very different．“It’s what we call a ‘cryptic species’— one species hidden within another because we can’t tell them apart by looking,” Feinberg says．“But thanks to molecular genetics, people are really picking out species more and more that would otherwise be ignored．” Feinberg believes the frog also once lived in Manhattan, but its current habitat ranges from the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey to northern countries of New York．It may even be living in parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania．The center of the frog’s habitat seems to be Yankee Stadium．But so far, Feinberg has n’t found any frogs living around the famous baseball field．Joanna Burger is Feinberg’s advisor at Rutgers University．“It is amazing to discover a new frog in Rutgers’ backyard．The frog was among us for a century without being recognized,” Burger says．“We need to do all that we can to make sure we protect it．”1．According to Paragraph 1, scientists were surprised because they never thought they could find ．A．a new species of frog B．new species ina cityC．frogs in New York D．new plant and animal species 2．What did Jeremy Feinberg do after he heard the frogs calling differently?A．He did a lot of research．B．He

cities．B．The new species of frog should be kept in the zoo．C．The new frog species has existed in New York for a long time．D．more new species are supposed to be found in New York．4．W hat’s the passage

skill．If it’s something you already have had a gift for, things might come easily, but it’s likely that you’re going to find the learning process to be much harder than you imagined．1 ．You can’t let the frustration keep you from your end goal, and you need to learn how to overcome it．If you don’t you will never leave your personal comfort zone and you’ll find yourself living a very narrow life．It won’t last．If you continue to push yourself, despite the frustration, you’re going to find you get through things quite quickly．2．The more you ignore it, the sooner the emotion disappears, getting replaced with a sense of accomplishment．3It’s easy to look at someone who started to learn a new skill at the same time you did and think that they’re picking things up so much faster than you, and to take this as a sign that you’re not meant to pick up the skill．You can’t do this．It’s likely that the person you admire has dealt with frustration of their own and might be just jealous of you as you are of them．You also have to continuously remind yourself that everyone learns at your own pace．Look for backdoors．4 ．If you’ve been working on something, such as learning to ride a horse, for a long periodof time, you’d better try changing instructors of disciplines to see if that helps．If you’re writing a book, you’ better join a different club, or start a new pro ject．There’s no shame in using a back door to get through the front after you’ve been struggling with a situation for an extended period of time．Learn to love the process．Life is about the journey, not the end result．The next time you set out to learn something new, don’t get so caught up in the idea of being a success and mastering whatever skill you want to develop．5 ．This takes the self-inflicted pressure off you, reducing the amount of frustration you experience．A．Instead focus on each stage and appreciate the learning process．B．You’re going to get frustrated．C．Frustration isn’t a permanent state．D．Don’t be afraid of the process．E．Don’t compare yourself with others．F．Sometimes there’s a quick way of making something become clear．G．There are some people who are jealous of you．【答案】BCEFA【解析】【试源】2016届山西省高三假期综合练习试题（七）【结束】6.【题文】I recently took my teenage son Anton with me on a trip to the island of Tortola．I asked him 1 he would like to make an exploratory dive．He strongly
