Comfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure.Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality，it plays a huge role in the progress of our development.Since the comfort zone is limited，there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone.Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone.

Even though your background may be affecting your present situation，what really matters is not where you were born，your skin color，race，age，gender，religion，government，or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years，but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude，to understand your comfort zone，how you limit yourself within it，who you are，why you behave the way you do it，and mainly where you are going.

Sadly many people don’t go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone.They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are.These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism (因循守舊) and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave your past behind；constantly transcend (超越) your comfort zone！Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don’t need to carry at all.

Take constant action as many times as it is required and never，never quit. As Napoleon Hill said，“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Defeat is never a failure；no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure.” Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude；everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves，when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true；everything is possible when we don’t take a no for an answer.

1. What is comfort zone according to the passage?

A．A place in our realistic life where we obtain comfort.

B．A mental place in our mind where we stick to our beliefs.

C．A limited place in our mind where we feel safe.

D．A secret place in our mind where we communicate with ourselves.

2. The author believes staying in our comfort zone can________.

A．prevent us from being aware of the reality

B．protect us from the cruel reality

C．push our development in life

D．stop us making progress in life

3. Napoleon Hill is quoted in the last paragraph to show that________.

A．one should not quit in order to succeed

B．a(chǎn) successful person can’t leave his comfort zone

C．there is a great difference between defeat and failure

D．it is important to take constant actions

4.The writing style of this passage can be described as________.

A．defensive B．persuasive

C．subjective D．supportive

"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you.?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (漣漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said. "Waves are one of nature's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey." When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪機(jī)). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.

"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. "We will never run out of wave power." Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface---that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.

Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. "Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1.The underlined phrase "picking up" is closest in meaning to ______.

A. starting again B. speeding up

C. improving D. gathering

2.We can make better use of wave energy if we ______.

A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes

B. build more small power stations on the oceans

C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power

D. quicken the steps of producing electricity

3.It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ______.

A. our power supply B. our boat traffic

C. air pollution D. our supply of sea fish

In life people make many decisions, some of what are so important that they affect us greatly.

My latest decision is made when I entered Senior 3 in Miss Zhang's class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen attentive in class and put down some important notes. Therefore, I was never a good listener. I went on in my own way , ignore her suggestions completely until Miss Zhang had talk with me. He made me realize the importance of note-taking.

From this experience, I have realized a good decision benefits from people. We should learn to take others’ advices and do the right things.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. 1. However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace(支撐) position, acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

Brace yourself for impact(撞擊力)．As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.

Undo your seatbelt. 2. Unbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

3. Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.

Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter­intuitive(有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 4.

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 5. While there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.

E．In conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you will be safe.

F．This is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.

G．But the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年廣東湛江第一中學(xué)高二上二次考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.

The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.

The second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必說) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.

I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (錄音機(jī)) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.

1. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________.

A. it makes the current political situation go smoothly

B. it helps us realize the importance of historical events

C. it helps us understand why things are the way they are

D. it helps people accept the present situation where they live

2.Some historical figures(人物) are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________.

A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evil

B. people may also learn from bad historical figures

C. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements

D. today’s people can also achieve what they achieved

3. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. How to teach history effectively.

B. Some negative reasons for studying history.

C. How to get more people to study history.

D. Some bad historical figures.

4. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.

A. inspire the parents to teach their children history

B. show the importance of history in politics

C. explain the reasons why children study history

D. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history
