    科目：高中英语 来源：安徽省六安市2017-2018学年高二上学期开学考试英语试卷 题型：阅读理解

    In a class this past December,after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination,one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone.When I looked in her direction,she apologized:"Sorry.Was it wrong to take a picture?"

    “I can't read my own handwriting,”the young woman explained."It's best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes."

    That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes.For those in the photo-taking camp,motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting.Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material.They might lose paper,but they wouldn't lose their phones.Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board.Others told me that during class they liked to listen to the discussion attentively.

    Yet the use of cameras as note takers,though it may be convenient,does raise significant questions for the classroom.Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?

    Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information—it helps prepare the way for understanding.Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method,but that a method has a long history doesn't mean it's out of date.Writing things down engages a student's brain in listening,visual,and kinesthetic learning—a view supported by a longstanding research.The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory,and to process and combine it,establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.

    Taking a picture does indeed record the information,but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs.So can the two be equally effective?

    I'm not sure how to measure the effectiveness of either method.For now,I allow students to take notes however they see fit—handwritten or photographed—because I figure that some notes,no matter the method of note-taking, are better than none.

    1.The woman apologized in the class because she______.

    A. took a picture of the board B. missed the teachers' directions

    C. had the bad handwriting D. disturbed other students' learning

    2.Students refuse to take notes by hand because______.

    A. they are unable to take notes

    B. they are more likely to lose notes

    C. they are interested in using their phones

    D. they have a good memory of teachers' instructions

    3.According to the passage,taking notes by hand______.

    A. requires students to think independently

    B. is unsuitable for students to learn new ideas

    C. helps students actively participate in learning

    D. proves to be an old and useless learning method

    4.What's the author's opinion towards taking notes by phones?

    A. Supportive. B. Neutral.

    C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

    Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.

    The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.

    They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.

    The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.

    Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.

    If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.

    Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.

    1.You would most likely find the article in ________.

    A. a doctor’s diary B. a travel journal

    C. a medical magazine D. a physics textbook

    2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.

    B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.

    C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.

    D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.

    3.Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because ________.

    A. snow produces more UV light than water

    B. people don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach

    C. the reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach

    D. human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach

    4.What will the passage most probably talk about next?

    A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.

    B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.

    C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.

    D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Understanding Disabilities

    There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities，yet most people are still quite ignorant about it.

    （1）What do you think of when you see the word, ‘disability’？

    Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics? 1. The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and long?term bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day?to?day activities.

    This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 2. Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily Able?Bodied) is better for people who are not disabled，because we may not stay that way forever.

    （2）3.

    Imagine not being able to see，or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?

    Clearly，having a disability can affect many things in a person's life.

    （3）Disability and the law

    4. It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧视) against someone who is differently abled. The label ‘disabled’ is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition，they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people，or noticing what they can't do，we should look at how we like to live，and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.

    After all—what is normal？5. But better understanding would be a start.

    A． How can the disabled find better jobs?

    B． How does disability affect people?

    C． People with disabilities don't need pity.

    D． Most of us have never really thought about it.

    E． We should consider more for people with disabilities.

    F． Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.

    G．There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.
