Rejection letters are better written than offers. C. It is no as fun as on imagines. D. There could be extra work beyond normal procedure. B Do I exist? Obviously! Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century, everyone assumed that we exited. Obviously. The fact seemed so mind-blowingly obvious that it wasn’t really discussed. We could see ourselves in the mirror, we could feel pain and pleasure, we could think thoughts for ourselves and, more importantly, perhaps, all the world’s main religions assumed that we do exist. So we exist. No you don’t it! You don’t exist. That’s because it’s impossible to show once and for all that you do. There’s no proof. You might think you exist --- that you are sitting at a table reading this book, for instance --- but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true? There’s no experiment that could prove it. Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isn’t actually, according to the British philosopher A. J. Ayer. Just because we know that we are thinking, this doesn’t mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking. It just shows that the thoughts are happening, not that anyone is having them. Thoughts exists, “You” don’t.” _____________! 高考临考模拟 5 What a waste of time this question is. Although you can argue until the end of time wheth er you exist or not, it doesn’t get you anywhere. Unless you forget about this unanswerable question, you’ll be stuck thinking about it forever, and that isn’t of any use to anyone. Move on. Think about something more important! This very roughly, is the view of almost all philo sophers, who prefer to answer other, apparently more useful, questions. Yes, but… You exist, but not in the way you might think. According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes, you can’t show that anything exists --- apart from your own self. The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another, but the facts you’re having thoughts shows that there might be something (that’s you) having them. This let Descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase, “I think before I am.” 60. Which of the following can be the missing heading? A. Forget about it B. What a ridiculous point C. Think about it D. What a pointless question 61. This passage is anything but a(n) ______. A. comment B. discussion C. argument D. debate 62. The famous answer to the question “Do I exist?” is ___________. A. No, you don’t exist. B. I think, therefore, I am. C. Yes, you do exist. D. It won’t get you anywhere C Knots are the kind of stuff that even myths are made of. In the Greek legend of the Gordian knot, for example, Alexander the Great used his sword to slice through a knot that had failed all previous attempts to unite it. Knots, enjoy a long history of tales and fanciful names suchas“Englishman’stie”, and“cat’spaw”. Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether(醚). In order to be able to develop the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots --- find out which different knots were possible. This sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots. A mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the string’sends joined. In Thomson’stheory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared to be different knots were really different --- the couldn’tbetransformed one into the other by some simple manipulation(操作). Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait and the University of Nebraska professor Charles Newton Little published complete tables of knots with up to ten crossings. Unfortunately, by the time that this heroic effort was completed, Kelvin’stheory had already been totally discarded as a model for atomic structure. Nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory conti point‎‎nued at for thatits own sake. In fact, mathematics became even more fascinated by knots. The only difference was that, as the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has put it, “thestudy of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics.” Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928 and in 1984. In 1928, the American mathematician James Waddell Alexander discovered an algebraic expression that 22uses the arrangement of crossings to label the knot. For examp-t+1 or le, t-3t+1t, or else. 高考临考模拟 6 Decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. The New Zealander-American mathematician Vaughan Jones noticed an unexpected relation between knots and another abstract branch of mathematics, which led to the discovery of a more sensitive invariant known as the Jones polynomial. 63. What is surprising about knots? A. They originated from ancient Greek legend. B. The study of knots is a branch of mathematics. C. Knots led to the discovery of atom structure. D. Alexander the Great made knots well known. 64. What does the underlined word“that”inParagraph 3 refer to? A. No other application found except tables of knots. B. The study of knots meeting a seemingly dead end. C. Few scientists showing interest in knots. D. The publication of complete tables of knots. 65. According to the passage, ______ shows the most updated study about knots. 22A. t-t+1 B. t-3t+1 C. Alexander polynomial D. Jones polynomial 66. Which one would be the best title for this passage? A. Mathematicians VS Physicians B. To be or Knot to be C. Knot or Atom D. Knot VS Mathematics D ELMONT, N.Y. (AP) --- Elmont High School Senior Harold Ekeh had a plan --- he would apply to 13 colleges, including all eight Ivy League schools, figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school. It worked, and then some. The teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13 schools, and now faces his next big test: deciding where to go. “I was stunned, I was really shocked,” Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack, his four younger brothers running around. He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University. That made him eight for eight in the Ivy League --- he had already been accepted to Yale University, Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania. His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University. “We are so proud of him,” said his mother, Roseline Ekeh. “Hard work, dedication, prayer brought him to where he is today.” Born in Nigeria, Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States. “It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture,” he said. But he saw his parents working hard, “and I took their example and decided to apply myself”. He referenced that effort in his college essay, writing, “Like a tree, uprooted and replanted, I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand. Yet, I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in. I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults, spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces, ignoring their sarcastic remarks.” Harold “is tremendously focused in everything he does.” said John Capozzi, the school’s 高考临考模拟 7 principal, “He’s a great role model. All the students and faculty are so proud of him.” Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight Ivies. Last year, William Floyd High School’s Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale. Harold, who has a 100.51 grade-point average and wants to be a neurosurgeon, said he was leaning toward Yale, and had heard from Enin, offering congratulations. Like Enin, he’s likely to announce his college choice at a press conference later this month. The deadline to decide is May 1. 67. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “apply myself”? A. Word hard. B. Write to the college. C. Make a formal request. D. Make an adjustment. 68. Which of the following is true about Harold? A. He was born into a Nigerian family in the US. B. He planted a tree once he moved to the US, C. He was always welcome and popular in his schools. D. He paid a lot to make his way to offers from all Ivies. 69. Harold is probably going to ______. A. Harvard B. Princeton C. Yale D. MIT 70. What can we infer from this passage? A. Too many cooks spoil the soup. B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. One can kill two birds with one stone. D. Chance favors only the prepared mind. 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题l分，满分l0分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。 The emotional bond a child secures with its parents has a greater impact on its education than previously thought, a report suggests. The Sutton Trust study says children’s early attac hment to parents has far-reaching consequences for their ability to speak, learn and think. Parents who are insecure themselves find it harder to provide children with security, it says. And the report calls for more help so parents can develop such crucial bonds. The study focuses on the application of the theory of attachment --- a key theory in child development and psychology. This says the degree to which children are secure and resilient as they grow up depends on their own early experiences with their mothers and fathers and how they have bonded. The report from the Sutton Trust education charity, entitled Baby Bonds, makes the case that it has an important impact on children’sfuture educational chances as well as their emotional well-being. It is based on an analysis of more than 100 studies on the issue, including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries. The trust argues that although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory, it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment. And it asks them to take this into account. The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds --- known as secure attachment --- they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school. And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life, with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training. They are also 高考临考模拟 8 more likely to suffer from aggression, defiance and hyperactivity later in life. The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents. Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found, from their observations, that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations. She added: “Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior. Shouting, looking out of the window, hitting each other…These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning. It’sreally only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents.” Research director at the trust Conor Ryan said: “Better bonding between parents and babies could lead to more social mobility, as there is such a clear link to education, behavior and future employment. The educational divide emerges early in life, with a 19 --- month school readiness gap between the most and least advantaged children by the age of five. This report clearly identifies the fundamental role secure attachment could have in narrowing that school readiness gap and improving children’slifechances. “Moresupport from health visitors, children’scenters together with local authorities in helping parents improve how they bond with young children could play a role in narrowing the education gap.” The Sutton Trust study The study reveals children’searly attachment to parents (71)______ affects Introduction their ability to speak, learn and think.

His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finallythedaycamewhentheboydidn’tlosehistemper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “Youhavedonewell, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there.” 【写作内容】 1. 以“Anger management”为题约30个词概括上文的主要内容。 2. 谈谈你的想法(120词)，内容包括: (1)分析愤怒情绪可能产生的后果(至少两点); )就如何控制愤怒情绪提出建议(至少两点)。 (2 【写作要求】 1. 不得直接引用原文中的句子。 2. 作文中不得出现真实的姓名和学校名称。 【评分标准】 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。 Anger management 高考临考模拟 10 江苏省栟茶高级中学2015高考临考模拟 英语参考答案 1-5 BBABC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CACCB 16-20 BCBCA 21-25 DBCAA 26-30 BBDCB 31-35 CBCDB 36-40 ACCBD 41-45 ADABC 46-50 ACDCB 51-55 DCABD 56-59 BCAD 60-62 DAB 63-66 BADB 67-70 ADCD 71. largely / greatly 72. analyzed / analysed 73. observing 74. close 75. attachment 76. lack 77. biggest 78. hiding / escaping 79. status 80. combined / joint One possible version: Anger management A bad-tempered boy, with his father’s advice, finally learned to properly manage his anger by hammering nails, and was able to see the harm imposed on others that cannot be repaired. Expressed in harmful ways, anger can lead to problems, either for the owner or for others around. People with poor anger management tend to have problems with their personal relationships; what’s worse, they can experience anxiety, depression, or even dangerous behaviour. In a word, it can seriously affect the overall life quality. To keep the anger under control, you need to recognize what usually causes the anger, and identify the warning signs in your body, so that when you are about to lose it, you can try some distractions to escape the situation. But if you believe you can never manage it, you’re strongly advised to seek professional assistance from a psychologist, a support group, or your friend. 听力录音材料 earlier at 3:00, and we are closed on Text 1 Sunday.
