23、hat achievements and knowledge follow passion and not just age and experience.Vijay,who lives with her parents in Melbourne,Australia,at the age of seven realised that her piggy bank did not have enough money to hire a developer to make her an app,so she decided to teach herself how to code.With the

24、 help of YouTube videos,the young techie learned to code.For one entire year,she watched multiple coding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.Vijays inspiration for developing the apps was her little sister,who was still learning to talk.Therefore,Vijay developed an educational app f

25、or children that were her sisters age.The app is called Smartkins,which uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals that help children learn and identify.Later,Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.An

26、vithas skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco,California.There,she got tips from the pros.She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one,called GoalsHi

27、,inspires kids to practice good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals,such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.Anvithas goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But even m

31、s are difficult before they are easy C British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham,after studying the results of one-on-one boxing,tae kwon do,Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle 高三二模英语试卷 第 6 页（共11页）wrestling matches at the Olympic Games,conclude that when two

32、competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill,the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other,colour has no effect on the result.However,when there is only a small difference between them,the effect of colour is enoug

33、h to tip the balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researcher at the University of Cambridge,has found similar results in nature.She studies the large African monk

34、eys known as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful malesthe ones who are more successful with femaleshave a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell,another study shows the ef

35、fect of red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches.Zebra finches already have bright red beaks(鸟喙),so this study suggests that,as with Olympic athletes,an extra flash of red is sig

36、nificant.In fact,researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier.

37、Nothing in nature is simple,however,because in species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red?Do their clothes give them an unintentional ad

38、vantage?Robert Barton accepts that“that is the implication”of their findings.Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?43.According to their research,Hill and Barton conclude that _.A.the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events B.red should be the

39、 choice of colour for clothing in sports C.red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D.athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red 44.The underlined word“tip”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A.achieve B.seek C.keep D.change 45.The example of the blue footed booby prove

40、s that _.A.male birds use different body parts to draw attention B.red is not the only colour to attract female birds C.blue gives female birds the same advantage D.blue can indicate how healthy a bird is 46.What is the best title for the passage?A.What Colour Implies More Power?B.A Tip on Clothing

41、C.Need to Change the Rules in Sports?D.Red Is for Winners D They hide in trees,hang from helicopters,even follow people down on motorcyclesall so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity.They are paparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September,Califo

42、rnia,a state with plenty of celebrities,passed a law aimed at taking 高三二模英语试卷 第 7 页（共11页）action against paparazzi.The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures,from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property,and from“persistently following

43、in order to take a picture.”Violators can be fined or spend time in prison.The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities,whom paparazzi have been bothering for years.Opponents(反对者)say the law restricts p

44、hotojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events.After all,its free publicity.But when theyre not in public,they say,photographers should leave them alone.Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly lo

45、ok in windows and worse.Actor Michael J.Fox said that paparazzi have even“tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else,supporters of the law state.Supporters further argue that the C

46、alifornia law is a fair way to keep the press at bay,because the law still allows photographers to do their job.It only punishes them,supporters say,when they violate celebrities privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution(美国宪法第一修正案),which guara

47、ntees that no laws will be made to limit“the freedom of speech,or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press,the California law does not single out paparazzi.It applies to photographers working for any publication.Opponents of the law are also concerned

48、 about its wording.“Does persistently mean following someone for six minutes,six seconds,or six days?”asked lawyer Douglas Mirell.The wording of the law is too vague,critics complain,and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.The United States needs a free press to keep the public info

49、rmed about important news,paparazzi law opponents say.Limiting the press in any way,they argue,limits the freedom of all.47.Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A.Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.B.Paparazzi taking photos of f

50、amous people with high-tech cameras.C.Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.D.Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.48.Supporters of the new law believe that _.A.it prevents the media from getting worse B.it gives photographers a fair way to compete C.punish
