南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）第 7 页（共 16 页）二模 An Australian company,Smart Car Technologies,has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyre speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available,it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save livesThe company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.The product,called Speed Alarm,links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers PDA or programmable mobile phoneThe setup of the product does not need to be linked up to a cars speedometerIn fact,it is entirely portableIt will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receiversIf a driver exceeds the speed limit,the speed is shown and an alarm sounds.Michael Paine,an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant,was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are“very enthusiastic”about what theyre now calling“intelligent speed alarm.”Other research,according to Paine,shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speedingThere is also a potentially controversial future use:“Since the system is so portable,it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alarm device when driving,”Paine said“The system even has the capability to record speeding violations,so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.41.Whats the purpose of the new product?二模 南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）第 8 页（共 16 页）二模 A.To inform us of the new car system.B.To introduce some improvement in cars.C.To limit

seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind,or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant,bought for$1.25 in the spring,has already taken over much of my rose bed,covering much of other plants,and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care,and if it werent for the pleasure they give,it wouldnt be worth the work.As it is,I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year.Bushes must be pruned(剪枝)in early spring,leaving ugly woody branches until the growth appears a few weeks later.It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥)have turned the little plant into a tall bush.The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold:First,I have to find the red ones among the leaves,which means I almost have to stand on my head,and once found I have to reach down and under,pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won.I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June,but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision:To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses.Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind,Ill think about that tomorrow.二模 南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）第 10 页（共 16 页）二模 46.What are the requirements for the healthy

南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）南开区2016年高考英语模拟试卷（二）第 11 页（共 16 页）二模 For thousands of years,people have been debating the meaning of happiness and how to find it.From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors,the debate about happiness continues.What makes someone happy?In what parts of the world are people the happiest?Why even study happiness?The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a persons highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence.Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form of happiness.The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so as to enjoy happiness.People throughout history may have had different ideas about happiness.But today,many people are still searching for its meaning.How do you study something like happiness?You could start with the World Database of Happiness at Erasmus University in Rotterdam,the Netherlands.This set of information includes how to define and measure happiness.Some findings are not surprising.For example,the database suggests that married people are happier than single people.People who like to be with other people are happier than unsocial people.But other findings are less expected:People with children are equally happy as couples without children.And wealthier people are only a little happier than poorer people.Positive psychology is the new term for a method of scientific study that tries to examine the things that make life worth living instead of lifes problems.Traditional p
