 第九组(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·广州普通高中毕业班综合测试) Inside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm pouring down, but the storm is inside, and visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe，admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself! Welcome to the Rain Room •The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.•This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing. •Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit. •Children must be accompanied by an adult. •For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10 minutes.1．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To attract visitors to a new art exhibit. B．To explain how an exhibit has been created. C．To describe the technology used in the exhibit. D．To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit. 2．What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?

Failure to encode properly can create an annoying situation. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe(衣柜). “Your memory itself isn’t failing you, ” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed. ”Lack of interest can also lead to absent­mindedness. “A man who recites sports statistics from 30 years ago, ”says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memory than men, possibly because they are more interested in what’s happening around them, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues(提示) can help prevent absent­mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available, ”he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent­mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.4．What does the underlined word “episodes” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Experiences.　　 B．Experiments.C．Expressions.  D．Feelings.5．According to the passage, women have better memory than men probably because________．A．they have a wider range of interestsB．they always put things where they wereC．they pay more attention to their environmentD．they prefer to write notes to tell themselves what they should do6．What can help prevent absent­mindedness according to Schacter?A．Writing notes.B．Taking some medicine.C．Putting something in sight.D．Returning to where you were.7．What is the best title for the text?A．A Way of RecallingB．The Importance of EncodingC．Cures for Absent­mindednessD．Causes and Coping Strategies of Absent­mindedness Ⅱ.完形填空(2017·太原二模)Life in the Slow LaneI always seemed to be rushing through my life.
