2013年高考第二轮复习英语陕西版专题升级训练十八信息匹配（一）（一）AThe magical power of computersBHave faith in the futureCOn deathDHave pride in your productEBe devoted to your working lifeFDon't sit stillSteven Paul Jobs（ February 24,1955­October 5,2011）was an American businessman and inventor widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution.He was the co­founder，chairman and CEO of Apple Inc.Here are some most memorable quotes from Steven Paul Jobs，you can learn something from these quotes.1“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that dots somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in somethingyour gut（内心），destiny，life，karma（缘分），whatever.This method has never let me down，and it has made all the difference in my life.”2“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good，then you should go do something else wonderful，not focus on it for too long.Just figure out what's next.”3It takes these very simple­minded instructions.Go fetch a number，add it to this number，put the result there，perceive if it's greater than this other number，but executes（ 执行）them at a rate of，let's say,1,000,000 per second.At 1,000,000 per second，the results appear to be magic.4“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet，keep looking.Don't settle.As with all matters of the heart，you'll know when you find it.And，like any great relationship，it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep looking until you find it.Don't settle.5“No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of life.It is life's change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be dramatic，but it is quite true.”（二）AIndependence leading to family breakupBWomen's easy and convenient life in USACNo marriage for many people nowadaysDAverage American families getting smallEFull freedom for young womenFDivorcea social problem in USA1Marriage，like other social instructions，is showing the strains of modern life.While more Americans are getting married today than ever before，the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise（one divorce for every three marriages last year）Why should this be so，and what，if anything，can we do to reverse this trend?2For most people，life is easier and more comfortable than ever before.Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking.Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do.Released from these household chores，many wives have found jobs outside the home.Women are achieving economic independence.3Families，too，are simpler today.In America，it is not customary for parents to live with their married children.With our greater mobility，relatives have scattered，the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people，after they marry，going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.4Young adult women have new freedom，too.While attending college，they often live away from home，sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After college，they move to the city，find a job，and set up “bachelor” apartment.This is the era of women's liberation.5But all this freedom and affluence（富裕）have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage.Men and women，no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance，find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endure the misunderstandings of married life.When happiness becomes misery，many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce.On the other hand，there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor.He listens patiently while they talk，knowing that only through self­understanding can they solve their problems.（三）AWhat does the Olympic Motto mean?BResearch on individual styles improves performance.CResearch holds the key to success.DPersonalized programs will help.ENew equipment has made a difference.FIs there a limit to record­breaking?1A world record is every athlete's dream，but the hard­won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times.Roger Bannister's famous four­minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds，while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since 1953.Faster，higher，stronger，is the Olympic motto，and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve.But one wonders if this can continue.2The last forty years have seen many important technological advances.For example，since the introduction of strong flexible，fiberglass poles，over a meter has been added to the pole vault record.There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoes.And while shoes won't actually make someone run faster，modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable，injury­free training.3Pushing back the limits now depends more on science，technology and medicine than anything else.Athletic technique，training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive（躲避的）world record.It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.4The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on.Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing.Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach，as once thought，but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off.However，the rules governing each sport limit advances were achieved by new styles.For instance only one­footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.5In the future，it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes.Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining，the cause of many injuries.If athletes feed all their information into a database，it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut.（四）AMeans of e­waste recyclingBHow e­waste comes into beingCThe benefit of e­waste recyclingDThe technologies of e­waste recyclingEThe importance of the electronic waste recycleFModern technology brings convenience and e­waste1Modern technology does bring us many conveniences，from Wi­Fi（无线网络）enabled cell phones and ever­smaller laptop computers that make entire lives easy to energy­efficient washers that use half the power and time to complete their tasks.However，these new toys and equipment finally become electronic waste（e­waste）once they are out of use.2E­waste includes everything from empty printer ink containers to broken refrigerators.As people buy new items to replace aging electronics or make upgrades，more electronic waste comes into being.In some cases，such as 2009's switch from analog（模拟）to digital television broadcasting in the United States，changes in technology are so great that old equipment may not even work at all with new systems.3There are many reasons why it is important to recycle electronic waste.Much of the material used to construct electronics，including metal and plastic parts，can be recycled into new items at a discount of the cost and energy use needed to create things from new raw materials.Additionally，many electronics contain poisonous substances that are harmful to the environment and could be deadly if they go into an area's groundwater.When properly recycled，they can be reused and will not do harm to the environment.Because of these environmental concerns，many areas require by law that electronic waste be properly recycled.4The availability of e­waste recycling programs varies from place to place.In some areas，annual collections are held once or twice a year as a means of dealing with e­waste as well as used engine oil or other waste that is harmful to the environment.There are also some good alternatives to recycling your e­waste.Any items that are in working condition can be given to friends or donated to charities（慈善机构）like Goodwill or the Salvation Army，who rely heavily on donations.Freecycling，or passing on your unwanted items to those in need of them，is also a means of finding new homes for used items.5E­waste recycling helps protect the environment by reducing the amount of poisonous materials placed in landfills（垃圾场）and saving recyclable parts to save energy and other resources.Recycling is a way of life.Stick to that choice every single day and recycling will become second nature to us.参考答案 （一） 答案与解析：1答案：B解析：根据“You
