高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.

More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.

“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.

Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

1.Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?

A.Because he wanted to be a celebrity.

B.Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.

C.Because his blood is valuable.

D.Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.

2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?

A.Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.

B.Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.

C.Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.

D.Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.

B.After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.

C.Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.

D.A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .

4.Which word can best describe Harrison?

A.Patient. B.Diligent.

C.Talented. D.Devoted.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Cao Yuan proved he was special at age 14 when he was enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of　 China’s　 School　 of　 the　 Gifted Young, which is a special　 school　 to　 nurture

teenagers into world-class talents.

But Cao himself didn’t think he was special. He often stressed that he was just an ordinary kid who loved reading about science and doing experiments.

But there is other evidence that Cao is a bit different. On Dec 19，the now 22-year-old doctoral candidate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)，US，was named one of the 10 people who mattered this year by the journal Nature. It was for discovering a“magic angle”in graphene（石墨烯）sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics（超导体物理学）.

Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. It’s the thinnest and strongest material in the world. Cao’s work shows that when two layers of graphene are cooled to 1.7 C above absolute zero（-273 C）and rotated（旋转） to a “magic angle”of 1.1 degrees，the upper layer of graphene exhibits nonconducting behaviors.

However, Cao found that these electrons(电子) could flow in the graphene sandwich freely — as if they were traveling through a superconductor —when small amounts of electrons were added to the structure.

The discovery is exciting. “One can imagine making a superconducting transistor out of graphene, which you can switch on and off ， from superconducting to insulating” ， Pablo Jarillo-Herrero，Cao’s professor at MIT，told Science Daily.

But why was Cao able to make the discovery? Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.

Huang said that he remembered that as a young kid Cao had a strong ability to study on his own, a love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions.

Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that　 Cao’s hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras. “Every time I go in Cao's office, it’s a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” he said.

But even with such convincing proof, Cao still sees himself as an ordinary college student. “After all, we are all humans, with flaws and emotions,” he said.

1.Why was Cao Yuan listed Person of the Year by the journal Nature? (within 20 words)

2.Is graphene a new metal? What is it? (within 15 words)

3.What are the factors that lead to Cao’s achievement? List two of them. (within 15 words)

高三英语阅读表达中等难度题查看答案及解析

“I will never marry, ” the future Elizabeth I declared at the age of eight, and, to the terror of her people, the Great Queen kept her word.

For four centuries, historians have guessed why Elizabeth never married. In her own day, her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous. A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns. More important, she needed male heirs (继承人) to avoid a civil war after her death.

There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen, both English courtiers (朝臣) and foreign princes, and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30 years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them. Indeed, although she insisted that she preferred the single state, she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation. This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part, since by keeping foreign princes in hope, sometimes for a decade, she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her kingdom.

There were, indeed, good political reasons for her avoiding marriage. The disastrous union of her sister Mary I to Philip II of Spain had had an unwelcome foreign influence upon English politics. The English were generally prejudiced against the Queen taking a foreign husband, particularly a Catholic one. Yet if she married an English, jealousy might lead to the separation of the court.

There were other deeper reasons for Elizabeth's unwillingness to marry, chief of which, I believe, was her fear of losing her autonomy as Queen. In the 16th century, a queen was regarded as holding supreme dominion(统治权)over the state, while a husband was thought to hold supreme dominion over his wife. Elizabeth knew that marriage and motherhood would bring some harm to her power.

She once pointed out that marriage seemed too uncertain a state for her. She had seen several unions in her immediate family break down, including that of her own parents. Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, had had her mother, Anne Boleyn, killed; her stepmother Catherine Howard later suffered the same fate. When Elizabeth was 14 she was all but attracted by Admiral Thomas Seymour, who also went to the prison within a year. Witnessing these terrible events at an early age, it has been argued, may have put Elizabeth off marriage.

Elizabeth had to decide her priorities. Marriage or being single? Elizabeth was far too intelligent. The choice she made was courageous and revolutionary, and, in the long run, the right one for England.

1.To the suitors including English courtiers and foreign princes, Elizabeth ________.

A. held back the truth

B. gave a definite answer “no”

C. kept them expecting on purpose

D. said she preferred the single state

2.If Elizabeth had married a foreign prince, there might have been ________.

A. prejudice against her

B. separation of the court

C. jealousy among English courtiers

D. a negative impact on English politics

3.Which of the following implications is right according to the passage?

A. Queen Elizabeth was not a Catholic.

B. Some foreign princes made war on Britain.

C. Catherine Howard was killed by Anne Boleyn.

D. Admiral Thomas Seymour was killed by Henry VIII.

4.What is the attitude of the author towards Queen Elizabeth never marrying in her life?

A. Pitiful.　　 B. Approving.　　 C. Negative.　　　 D. Neutral.
