Would you go to war for your country? Millions of people do. But occasionally, some refuse to fight. They're known as conscientious objectors(拒服兵役者).　 One of the most famous from the USA is Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer and one of the most outstanding sports figures of the 20th century. He was born on 17th January 1942 in Louisville ( Kentucky) and began training as an amateur boxer when he was 12 years old. At the age of 18 , he won a gold medal in the light heavy-weight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. He turned professional later that year. At the age of 22, he became the world heavyweight champion.

In 1965, he converted to Islam(伊斯兰教) and officially changed his name to Muhammad Ai. Shortly after, he was called up for military service to fight in the Vietnam War. He was firmly against the idea. "My enemy is the white people, not the Viet Cong(越共) ," he explained. "You may oppose when I want freedom. You may oppose when I want justice. You may oppose when I want equality…You want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won't even stand up for me here at home?"

After refusing to enlist during a sign - up ceremony in April 1967, Muhammad was arrested.

He was found guilty of draft evasion, and deprived of his boxing titles. As a result, he didn't fight from March 1967 to October 1970.　 He later became a symbol of the anti - war movement and racial injustice. In 1971, his conviction was overturned by the US Supreme Court. Muhammad Ali died on 3rd June 2016.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

What would you do if you had invited friends to your house and they asked you for directions? Well, you could draw a map! And, if you did, you most likely would include your street and theirs, as well as the landmarks between the two. Using these places on the map as markers, your friends can then plan the best route to take.

Generally speaking, a map is an illustration of the earth’s surface, and a person who draws maps is called a cartographer. But how are maps made? In prehistoric times, hunters would sometimes draw their hunting territories on cave walls. In the millennia that followed, maps would have been painted by hand on various materials, including clay, ivory, and even the hide of an animal.

Fast forward to modern times. With the invention of such tools as compasses, telescopes, and sextants, cartographers were able to define and show distances much more accurately. Today, aerial photography, satellite images, and computer software such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have made mapmaking even more precise. For example, mapmakers are now able to illustrate the physical features of our earth. Using satellite images, they can create three-dimensional maps that exceptionally correct.

Do all maps show the same contents? No! There are many different types of maps. Physical maps　 give us views of the earth’s continents, mountains, forests, and waterways. Political maps identify　 countries and their boundaries. Economic maps offer information about the agricultural products or minerals found in a certain region. There are also maps that detail the climate or the population density in a particular location.

Of course, there are maps that offer details other than those connected with land masses. Nautical maps, for instance, are important tools for ship captains. They include information about the depth of the water, land formations along the coastline, navigational dangers, harbors, and bridges. They also provide data on tides and currents, as well as the earth’s magnetic field. Aeronautical maps help airplane pilots to determine position and altitude, and assist ground controllers in airport towers with planning and deciding the best route to a particular destination. In emergency situations, aeronautical maps can help responders locate an alternative landing area.

Today, people who have no special map training can observe the world from above without having to leave their homes. Most likely, you have used software such as Google Earth or Google Maps. Thanks to satellite images, we can now easily spot the smallest details of our house and environment by using the Internet. Not everyone, however, is fond of these tools, because their easy access may lead to violations of privacy. Lawmakers around the world are presently addressing this issue.

1.The author mentions inviting friends to your house at the beginning to indicate that ___ .

A.details in maps matter more than land masses

B.maps have a significant place in our life

C.planning routes is the key to reaching destinations

D.it is necessary to get satellite images accurately

2.Which of the following maps mainly focus on details?

A.Aeronautical maps. B.Political maps.

C.Climatic maps. D.Economic maps.

3.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To underline the importance of drawing maps.

B.To compare prehistoric maps and modern maps.

C.To appeal to address the issue of violations of privacy.

D.To introduce the development and functions of maps.

高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There's a catch however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can't leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are  treated. His goal was  to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food.

He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviewed and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experiences, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads. They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”

Finally it was over, and Para and Eric appeared from their cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage,  Eric  came  out,  changed  into  clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It's great to be able to stand up,” he said. Para just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she

didn't want to talk to anyone.

1.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?

A. He is curious about people's personal life.

B. He is kind-hearted to animals.

C. He hates people around.

D. He likes to help poor people.

2.The underlined word “catch” probably means _____.

A. unsolved problem                                  B. surprising wonder

C. unbelievable fact                                    D. hidden difficulty

3.Rob offered the money because he wanted _____ .

A. to see if there were any people who would like to live in a cage

B. to show the public how terrible animals' life could be

C. to make more money by publishing the recorded videotapes

D. to improve housing conditions of working people like Eric

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. Easy Way to Earn $ 2,500.                     B. Do Not Feed the Humans.

C. Living Like a Chicken.                    D. Getting Along Well Anyway.
