    科目：高中英语 来源：2016届江苏省常州市两校高三联考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    Concepts from science and nature are filled with our language’s common phrases , idioms and spoken expressions. The unbelieving expression “Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle” has its origin in bitter disbelief over Darwin’s writings on evolution. These colourful expressions bring spice(趣味) to our language.

    Yet certain well-used phrases from science are just plain wrong! Some are obvious, yet we use them anyhow. For example, a person who acutely shakes her head and says “ A watched pot never boils” while you are waiting second after tiring second for test results to arrive or job offers to come in knows that if she sat down and watched a pot containing water on a stove over high heat for long enough, the water will eventually boil.

    However, a few phrases have less obvious scientific inaccuracies. Here are a few for you to consider.

    Once in a blue moon: This poetic phrase refers to something that occurs extremely rarely. A blue moon is the term commonly used for a second full moon that occasionally appears in a single month of our solar-based calendars. The problem with the phrase, however, is that blue moons are not so rare. They happen every few years at least, and can even happen within months of each other when the 29.5-day lunar cycle puts the full moon at the beginning of any month but February. The usage of “blue moon” as the second full moon in a month dates back to a 1937 Marine Farmer’s Almanac . But before that, blue moons meant something slightly different. Typically, 12 full moons occur from winter solstice to the next winter solstice, but occasionally a fourth full moon in a season could be observed . In such a case, one of the four full moons in that season was known as “blue”

    Where there’s smoke, there’s fire: The phrase means that if something looks wrong, it likely is wrong. But let’s step back. Do you always have to have fire if you see smoke? Answering that first requires defining ‘fire” , Merriam—Webster’s first definition of fire is “ the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame and heat”. Combustion is the chemical reaction that occurs when fuel is burned in the presence of oxygen---denying a fire any of these three things will stop the fire; attempting to start a fire without any one of the three things will be impossible. In complete combustion---what occurs when you light a gas stove--- the fire produces no smoke. However, when most materials are burned, they have incomplete combustion, which means that the fire isn’t able to completely burn all of the fuel . Smoke, then, can be considered to be a product of pyrolysis (高温分解) rather than of fire itself. You’re probably thinking---so what? To get the smoke, a fire needed to be present at some point, right? Not always.

    Diamonds are forever: Thanks to the DeBeers slogan , decorating your honey’s neck, wrists and fingers with diamonds means true and timeless love. Of course, no object that you can hold in your hand can last forever. But diamonds have a special reason for being incapable of timelessness. Without the extreme pressures of the deep Earth where they formed, a diamond will slowly turn back into graphite(石墨), which is why the older a diamond is, the more inclusions it’s likely to have.

    What common phrases push your buttons when viewed under the microscope of science? Are you curious about the hidden knowledge of some “ big” phrases ? Or perhaps you have the ability to uncover the secret of some unscientific phrases? Let us know!

    1.According to the passage, the blue moon _________.

    A. appears at the beginning of a month

    B. gains its modern meaning before 1937

    C. presents itself quite frequently sometimes

    D. can never be seen by people in February

    2.What can be concluded from the passage?

    A. the older a diamond is, the more valuable it’s likely to be.

    B. Fire is not necessarily causing smoke

    C. Smoke is a product of complete combustion

    D. the less obvious scientific inaccuracies of some phrases make them more useful

    3. The underlined phrase “push your buttons” in the last paragraph means “_______”.

    A. impress you a lot B. frighten you much.

    C. surprise you greatly D. make you lose your interest

    4. The author’s attitude towards the scientific inaccuracies of the phrases is ________.

    A. indifferent B. objective

    C. critical D. favourable

    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。选项中的两项为多途选项。

    Three Critical Truths We Forget All Too Soon

    So much happens in our lives every day that we often forget what we have learned. In effect, the only thing faster than the speed of our thoughts is the speed of our forgetfulness. 1.

    ●Small steps get you to big places.

    The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing simply because you can only do a little. In fact, it is far more productive to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a giant leap. 2.Figure out where you want to go, take a step, and keep on stepping. Diligence and persistence will get you there.

    ● 3.

    Two people can be affected by the same circumstance but respond in completely different ways. The reason is that it just depends on their attitudes. When you expect life to be unkind, it will always live up to your expectations. On the other hand, when you consider yourself to be in a fortunate situation, you will find yourself in many more. 4.

    ●You can only change yourself.

    Don't wait for someone who hurt you to make it up to you; this kind of thinking only keeps your old wounds from healing. 5. You have no control over them, and they may never change. Inner peace is found by changing your thinking, not the people who hurt you. So forgive those who have hurt you in the past, and even more importantly, forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you. Then smile like you've never cried re-open your heart and mind like you've never been hurt, and live the rest of your life like you're running out of time.

    A. Fear always exists.

    B. Attitude makes all the difference.

    C. The path to every goal requires a hundred small steps--one after the other.

    D. Here are some important reminders to jog your memory.(唤起记忆)

    E. Waiting for them to change is not the answer.

    F. In the end, we learn even more from our failures than we do from our successes.

    G. It’s important to remember that there is value in every situation and circumstance.
