   In our life, we often regret what we did and which wecouldn't do. Actually, it doesn't benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn more money, to get a high position and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don't seize those opportunities, thus feel upset. Al?though we do know regretting the past is no benefit, but we still can't help doing it.

To avoid the problem below, we need to pay more atten?tion to what you are doing now, making us busier and having no time to recall the past. Moreover, we'd better set reasona?bly goals one by one. Only by doing so can we struggle for our future better.

B  [2015*四川遂宁高三第二次诊断] Researchers are now using 3-D printing to create models of the human heart to help heart specialists. The heart doc?tors can use the models to better help patients before an oper?ation.

Dr Bramlet, a children's heart expert at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, says the 3-D models show infor?mation he cannot get any other way.

"And so what we've done with the printed models, we've pulled it out of the screen so that we can actually hold it in our hand and evaluate the anatomy(解剖)."

A 3-D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Matthew Bramlet says doctors can use the model to understand the anatomy.

Pictures from medical tests like CAT scan or MRI are sent to a 3-D printer to create a heart in a plaster(石膏):form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin lay?er. Dr Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in eveVy detail. "When we're done with the model and made our deci?sion, we want to be able to go back to the source image and confirm those findings," he says.

Dr Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But, the 3-D printed model showed several de?fects or problems that the baby was born with. Dr Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3-D model. He added that 3-D heart models saves time during heart operations.

Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon at Saint John's Health Centre in Los Angeles. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.

"I can then take this very complicated structure before the operation and I can hold it in my hand and plan an opera?tion around what I'm seeing, touching and feeling. That to me is what can potentially change the game in an operation and save lives.，，

Dr Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institutes of Health to build a 3-D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.

5.What's the main idea of the passage?

 A.     The application of 3-D printing in heart operations.

B.     The development of 3-D technology.

C.     The difficulties of heart operations.

D.     Heart operations with the help of 3-D models.

C.     They can be made exactly like the hearts.

D.     They can help discover the otherwise hidden heart problems.

7.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

 A.     The 3-D model can be taken out of a screen.

B.     CAT scan and MRI are no longer needed.

C.     The 3-D model is an exact copy of the heart.

When people are asked to list typical English gentlemen, for many,Colin Firth immediately comes to mind.

  In his recent film, Kingsman ： The Secret Service ?the 54-year-old actor appears as elegant and violent super spy Harry Hart. One minute he's calm and polite, and then in the next he's skilfully violent and aggressive. For example,in one scene he says,"Manners maketh man",before severely beating up a group of villains (if A). Firth brings out the perfect mix of typical British style and humour through this performance.

  Firth began appearing on English TV in the early 1990s, but it wasn't until he played Mr Darcy,a charming upper class character from Jane Austen's famous novel Pride and Preju?dice ,that Firth's career really took off. His portrayaK形象)of the perfect fictional gentleman conquered millions of hearts, especially females'.

In many fans and critics'eyes, Firth has British good looks,British charm, and a gift for characters with a British sense of being reserved(矜持).Movie reviewer Jason O'Bryan described Firth as "always befitting the calm and stiff-upper-lip British gentlemen character".

However Firth doesn't consider himself the authority on gentlemen. "I don't necessarily approach every challenge like a perfect English gentleman spy. There are many aspects in my personality that are not consistent with someone like Har?ry Hart,"he said to Dialogue, an English-language show on CCTV News.

But let's just take his words as another gentlemanly quality-modesty. After all, who might expect an Oscar-win?ning actor over 50 years old to learn to fight for his first ac?tion movie?

To prepare for Kingsman ^ Firth trained for three hours every day over six months. He broke a tooth and got bruised everywhere, but took the damage as a symbol of his accom?plishments.

In Dialogue, Firth said he had many other sides―he's passionate about literature and literary research. However,to many of his movie fans, he is indeed a gentleman and excel?lent actor above all else.

1. The example given in Paragraph 2 is______________ .

A.     to describe the character of Harry Hart

B.     to introduce one scene of Kingsman

C.     to prove Colin Firth a gentleman

D.  to compare Colin Firth with Harry Hart

2. When did Firth come to be famous?

 A.     In the early 1990s.

B.     After he played Mr Darcy.

C.     When he was 54 years old.

D.     During his childhood.

3.From the text we can infer .

 A.     Colin Firth is violent and aggressive

B.     Colin Firth has many sides in personality

C.     Colin Firth has similar character to Harry Hart

D.     Colin Firth has more male fans than females

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

B [2015 •南京市、盐城市高三年级第一次模拟〗According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) ， the UK has about 7. 7 million families with dependent children, of which 3. 7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1. 1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 per cent and will likely rise to more than 50 per cent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It ap?pears that families are getting smaller."

One obvious reason for this could be that women are put-ting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an in?creasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mums-net, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".

She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one child, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.

Not all products of single-child families are as keen to re-' peat the experience.  In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of eve?rything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery".

Writer and clinician Dr Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society ， says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.

However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find them?selves looking after their own parents as they become older.

5.The passage is written with the purpose of___________ .

 A.     illustrating the strength and weakness of having an on?ly child

B.     analysing the reasons why having an only child be?comes popular

C.     presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D.     guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

 A.     Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.

B.     All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.

C.     Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.

D.     People brought up in an only child family resist down?sizing the family.

7. From what Dr Dorothy Rowe said, we know that____________ .

 A.    journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable child?hood

B.     she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's re?action

C.     it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D.    some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

8.What can be inferred from the passage?

 A.     It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.

B.      Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.

C.      Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.

D.     Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.

They will be here in a minute, surely. I'll just stare at my shoes a little while longer to pass the time. Wish I'd brought a book. Hang on, though, what if I，ve got the wrong day? The wrong place? Have the clocks gone back? No, damn it; I'm off home. Whoever I'm waiting for clearly lives in a different time zone from me.

I am always 10 minutes early, so if you're 10 minutes late, I've been foot-tapping for 20 minutes. I know it's not fair to hold the first 10 against you, but I just can't help my?self. I never wait more than 20 minutes beyond the meeting time we decided upon, not for anyone, ever.

OK, that's not .strictly true. I have, on occasion, hung around anxiously and heart-brokenly for up to an hour, but the bitter anger that follows is never a pretty sight. If you've made me wait that long, you will wish you hadn't bothered turning up at all.

How come some people are always late and some are al?ways on time? If I can manage to be punctual, why can't you? Because I left a hot cup of coffc^' at home while you sat down to roll another cigarette. Because I spilled jam on my pants and quickly wiped it off whereas you took time to change your whole outfit. Because I switched off midway through a TV series? but you had to ride out the end, didn't you? And don't even think about blaming the traffic. How do you think I got here? By flying carpet? Only carelessness or arrogance(傲慢) can explain a habit of lateness.

Some people are always late because they can't make re?alistic calculations about how long it takes to do things. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Just deal with it. Painful as it may be, you have to accept that, as you've agreed to meet at eight and it's now a quarter to eight, you don't have time to phone your girlfriend.

Much worse, though, are those with big egos (自我). Being late is just rude. Being late on purpose really means that you hate the person you are meeting.

Of course, there are some perfectly lovely latecomers out there. I just never wait long enough to find out.

1.Which of the following words best describes how the author feels in the first paragraph?

A. Anxious.                             B. Curious.

 a.    Their big egos.

b.   Traffic jams.

e.    Their realistic calculations of how long it takes to do things.

A. a, b       B.  a, c        C.  b， d， e    D.  c， d， e

My brother, who is a Harvard graduate, work in a multinational company. Recently, the company had failed several times in its attempts to break into the Chinese market. As a new manager in the charge of the sales department, he is trying every possible mean to promote their products. Because he has taken some ef?fective measures, their profits are expected to rise at 30%. I am real proud of my brother. What's more, he has promised to give me five thousand yuan until my summer holidays come. If not, I will be able to afford go travelling. How a wonderful piece of news!

I grew up in Jamaica Plain, an urban community lo?cated on the outskirts (郊区)of Boston, Massachu?setts. My best friend Rose and I used to dream about raising a family of our own some day. We had it all planned out to live next door to one another.

Our dream remained alive through grade school, high school, and even beyond. Rose was my maid of honour when I got married in 1953 to the love of my life, Dick. Meanwhile, Dick longed to be an officer in the Marines and I fully supported his ambitions. T real?ized that he might be stationed far away from Jamaica Plain, but I told him I would relocate (重新安置）and adjust.

So, in 1955 Dick was stationed in Alaska and we relocated. Rose was sad to see me leave, but wished me the best of luck. Rose and I remained in touch for a few years via periodic phone calls but after a while we lost track of one another.

Now here I am at the doorstep to my 80th birthday and I received a random phone call on a Wednesday af?ternoon. "Hello?" I said. "Hi Natalie, it's Rose," the voice on the other end replied. "It's been so long. 1 don't know if you remember me, but we used to be best friends in Jamaica Plain when we were kids," she said.

We haven't seen each other yet, but we have spent countless hours on the phone catching up on 52 years of our lives. The interesting thing is that even after 52 years of separation our personalities and interests are still extremely similar.

Real friends have two things in common ： a compat?ible (相容的)personality and a strong-willed character. The compatible personality is what makes the connec?tion begin between two people and a strong-willed char?acter at both ends is what maintains the connection. If those two ingredients are present in a friendship, the friendship is for real, and can thus sustain the tests of time and prolonged absence without faltering (动摇).

5.The writer had to leave her best friend because

A.she hoped to get more chances

B.she wanted to change her living situation

C.her husband was sent to another place

D.she had a quarrel with her best friend

6.When the writer was 80 years old, .

A.she and her best friend Rose met again

B.she and Rose got in touch again

C.she found she had nothing in common with Rose

D.she and Rose spent countless happy hours together

7.According to the writer, the reason why the friendship be-

tween her and Rose can last long is that       .

A.they often share their happy and sad moments with each other

B.their relationship is based on mutual trust

C.Rose is always there when she is in trouble

D.both of them have a compatible personality and a strong-willed character
