2018年上海高考英语第一次模拟考试试题与答案
2018年上海高考英语第一次模拟考试试题与答案(本试卷满分150分,考试时间120分钟)。
第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(听力部分不计入总分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AA trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level,the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Your Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pic k a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us,after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower,you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine inthe Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great,but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.21. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A. Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible.B. Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.C. Because you can have a special sight of the city of Pairs.D. Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.22. What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Control.B. Avoid.C. Stand.D. Remember.23. Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?A. Because they had a quarrel with the officer.B. Because they lost valuable objects.C. Because they set off the metal detector.D. Because they didn’t seize the ch ance.24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author recommends tourists have snacks at the Eiffel Tower.B. You spend more if you have snacks at the Tower.C. The author prefers to eat across the Seine.D. The Eiffel Tower provides expensive foods and drinks.BLike Indiana Jones (a fictional character),who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time,my father is a businessman by day and a thrill-seeker by night.His enthusiasm rubbed off on me,and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures.We started out by riding America's fastest,most twisted roller coasters.After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon(峡谷)on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe.Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world.Skydiving was especiallythrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps.We have bungee jumped from the world's highest platform, Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa.Most recently,in Interlaken,Switzerland,we attempted canyoning(溪降运动).Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning.Our adventure began with a 90-foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice-cold river.Then we crossed the bone-chilling water toward the mouth of the river,our final destination,where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin.We slid over slippery rocks at one moment,jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next.Back and forth we alternated,climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water.Certainly,clanger was waiting for us in each of these activities,but that very danger provided the rush.Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another,from beginning to end.While canyoning is possible only in certain places,thrills and adventure can be found anywhere.Our beginnings in the U.S. showed us just that.We continue to seek the big thrills,but in doing so,we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well.After all,we can't go canyoning every day,and small thrills are better than none for us thrill-seekers.25. What do we know about the author's father?A. He is a very successful bushinessman.B.He is doing a part-time job.C.He enjoys experiencing adventures.D. He likes Indiana Jones very much.26. What does the underlined phrase "rubbed off on" mean in paragraph 2?A. relate toB.affectC. keep offD.confuse27. What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning?A. Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water.B. Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.C.Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels.D.Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river.28. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well.B.We had better go abroad to experience canyoning.C. Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.D.America is the most proper place to experience adventures.CDo you have a business brain? Are you always looking for the next big idea? Maybe, like me, you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you’re older, when you have more experience. But that’s not always the case.While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world, sleeping late and partying hard, others are already on a path to great business success. Take the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US. There are many other examples of young entrepreneurs (企业家) who have become hugely successful, proving that there’s no minimum age to becoming top dog.But to be the next business executive requires effort. You need to acquire a keen mind and good business intelligence and above all, you need enthusiasm. Starting a new business comes with an element of risk but if you are able to spot the next big idea, it’s probably worth giving it a try. Jessica Rose owns a jewelry making business and admits that “when I first started I had no business training but when I wok e up one day, I thought I’d really love to be a jewelry designer.” She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.Being young and in business does have its drawbacks; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who work for you tend to be older and wiser. That’s what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found. He started his third business while studying chemistry at university. He says “now I’ve got two additional directors who have grey hair” but when they first sta rted he says he could tell they were thinking in the back of their heads, “I’ve got a kid sitting in front of me.”You may think setting up a new start-up is easier said than done. As well as ideas, you need financial backing and expert guidance. But if yo u’re studying hard at university and don’t have the desire to go into business and make your fortune, keep on studying – an education is priceless!29. At the very beginning, what’s the author’s attitude to the necessity of being agedand experienced in setting up a new company?A. Supportive.B. Impersonal.C. Negative.D. Critical.30. The author takes Jessica Rose for example in order to show that __________.A. it is easy to set up a new businessB. enthusiasm is more important than a keen mindC. business training is not necessaryD. doing business needs great effort31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Older directors shouldn’t be employed if you are young.B. Age plays an important role in setting up new business.C. If you don’t intend to set up business, just focus on your study.D. Education is more valuable than setting up a business.DAre you the type of person who has to plan everything? Doyou like to the surprised? Or are you the type who opens your birthday presents when you find them hidden in the closet?How do people determine the sex. why do people want to know. and what impact does it have on their pregnancy?While the potential risks of ultrasound(超声波)are thought to he lowest. it is not recommended simply to find out the sex of your baby. There is also the question of accuracy. Ultrasound is less accurate than genetic testing. Ultrasound is available to the majority of pregnant women. despite the warning against the routine use of ultrasound.Genetic testing is 99. 1 % accurate in determining the sex of your baby. However, genetic testing carries the risk of losing the pregnancy or harming the pregnancy. Amniocentesis(羊膜穿刺术)is usually said to have a 1%~2% loss rate and anadditional 1%~2% infection or problem rate. There have also been reports of disorder. Recent studies suggest that this problem is reduced if done after 10 weeks.Knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be for common reasons. such as decorating a baby room. or it can he for medical reasons, such as a sex-linked gene disorder.The impact of knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be anywhere front tiny things. such as decorating a nursery to high impact such as deciding to stop a pregnancy because of a sex-linked disorder. There is also the question of accuracy and bringing your new baby boy home to his pink room and closet full of dresses.There are ways of predicting the sex of your baby that are not as accurate, and should not be used for diagnostic(诊断的)purposes but are fun. Either way you go. whether or not you choose to know. the surprise will eventually be revealed at that magic moment when you hear."It's a…”32. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The condition of an unborn baby.B. The habit of planning everything.C. The labor to find hidden presents.D. The act of knowing the sex of an unborn baby.33. Compared with genetic testing. determining the sex of an unborn baby byultrasound is considered______A. less commonB. less accurateC. more riskyD. more useful34.

AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goe s out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, youcan set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visitedit about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Vi sitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.A. some tourist brochuresB. his wife’s introductionC. his first visit thereD. some TV programs6. How has the natural beauty of the island been kept according to the text?A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it.B. Nothing has been built in the park there.C. Only bikes can be used on the island.D. Sailing boats mustn’t pollute the water.7. When the author first visited Port Cros, _____.A. it was very sunnyB. there were few visitors thereC. it took them a whole day to walk to Port-ManD. the island was deserted and he stayed there for a whole nightCCamp Jano IndiaCelebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature. Weekly themes are brought to life through related arts, games, projects, stories and theatre in a very unique, exciting, creative, interactive (互动的) and structured style. A very unique and memorable (难忘的) experience that kids will want to repeat! Mornings are spent with the Hindi language at the child’s level. Afternoons provide the cultural elements taught in an interactive style with special emphasis (重点) on drama.Bay Language AcademyWe invite campers (4-12 years old) to travel and open up doors to explore past and recent civilizations through daily field trips. Cultures will be shown through customs and cooking. Lectures (6/10-8/30) will introduce/reinforce French, Spanish or Chinese and the cultures they convey. Our language summer-camp is infused (灌输) with cultural activities and taught by a team of bilingual (通晓双语的) instructors.Petits ConfettisWant your 3- to 5-year-old kids to experience a French camp? Come and join us for 6 weeks of French camps!Kids will be totally happy to learn French and French culture while they take part in team projects like building a tipi or making French bread. Weekly themes include cooking, arts, drama, outdoor activities, board games, music, yoga, rhymes and story time.Chinese Immersion Summer CampThis is our 11th Chinese language and culture summer camp. We take children from 6th grade. This year we continue the weekly fun themes like art, science, cooking and sports in the morning. In the afternoon, we have abacus, reading and Chinese culture lessons taught in Chinese. Our teachers are all native speakers with a lot of experience. Our weekly field trips go to different places like SF zoo, tech museums, fire stations etc.8.

Travel and adventure.C. Language and culture.D. Art and music.DOn Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No.1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic bookpublisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creati ng Superman.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ANearly 25% of the entire U.S. population are likely to hit the road during the holidays this year. We’ve picked the best road food stops along some of the South’s most traveled interstates (州际公路).Ⅰ-35 | Ssan Antonio, TX, to Oklahoma City, OKFancy That | Exit 109, Norman, OK | Miles from the interstate: 2.8This downtown store offers a sit-down “classic lunch” for $8 that includes an entrée (主菜) and a side: a big meatball sandwich, perhaps, with a strawberry, blue cheese, or a fat BLT on Texas toast with a salad.215 East Main Street; 236/908–2209; Babe’s Chicken Dinner House | Exit 477, Sanger, Texas | Miles from the interstate: 0.8You’ll find yourself at Babe’s by the 10-foot-tall chicken standing outside the front door of this store.

She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream. Jahira said, “Lisa said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously. ”But Lisa kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Lisa to learn gymnastics. So Lisa started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Lisa got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Lisa was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Lisa was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team — the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Lisa that she could not go. Jahira said, “Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’”A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Lisa’s gym unexpectedly. They watched Lisa train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!Eventually, Lisa competed at the 2012 Olympic trials. She finished 10th in all rounds.24. Lisa had a dream to .A. go to the partyB. do gymnasticsC. take part in the OlympicsD. attend a national competition25. From the passage, we can infer that .A. Lisa’s parents were tired of her talking about her dreamB. Lisa’s parents loved her and were moved by herC. Lisa’s mother supported her dream even at the beginningD. Lisa became a national team player at the age of twelve26. What does the author want to tell us?A. Knowledge is a measure, but practice is the key to it.B. Wherever you go, go with all your heart.C. Nothing is to be got without pain but poverty.D. God blesses the determined and hard-working.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Talented GirlB. The Caring ParentsC. An Olympic DreamD. A Helping HandCPope Benedict named five new saints on Sunday, including a Catholic priest, Father Damien, who cared for people in a leper (麻风病患者) colony.Father Damien was born Joseph De Veuster in Belgium. In 1873 he went to the Hawaiian island of Molokai. After several years of working in the colony, he himself developed leprosy (麻风病). Father Damien died in 1889, when he was 49 years old.Leprosy —also called Hansen’s disease — is a bacterial disease that causes skin wounds and nerve damage. The disease can severely disfigure (使变丑) victims and cause death. Untreated patients can spread the bacteria from their nose and mouth through the air to people who are near them a lot.But doctors have been able to treat leprosy since the 1940s. Today they use a combination of three drugs. Experts say after the first treatment, patients can no longer infect others.At the start of this year there were 213,000 cases of leprosy reported in 121 countries. The World Health Organization says there were almost 250,000 new cases last year. But the drug combination can cure the disease within six to twelve months.The number of new cases has been falling in many countries. But there are places where leprosy is still spreading quickly. These include areas of Angola, Brazil, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and India. Other areas are in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal and Tanzania.Leprosy is an ancient disease. Its victims have been highly looked down upon — often blamed for their condition and made to feel unclean. In India, leprosy has traditionally been considered a punishment for something bad done in a former life. Other cultures have considered it a sign of evil.James Staples teaches in the School of Social Sciences at Brunel University in Britain. He is the author of the book Peculiar People, Amazing Lives: Leprosy, Social Exclusion and Community Making in South India. He tells us that modern knowledge about leprosy does not necessarily reduce the stigma. Public health campaigns spread the message that leprosy is curable and not highly infectious. Yet he says this message is often more scary for people than the idea that leprosy is some sort of spiritual punishment. That explanation may not do much for the patient’s place in society, he says, “but at least other people don’t think they are going to catch it.”28. What happened to Father Damien according to the passage?A. He died of abnormal cancer.B. He died from an earthquake.C. He died from an accident.D. He died of leprosy.29. What’s people’s attitude towards the victims who are infected with leprosy in the past?A. Sympathetic.B. Concerned.C. Prejudiced.D. Optimistic.30. What does the underlined word “stigma” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Shame.B. Pride.C. Custom.D. Explanation.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The victims can be cured within 6 to 12 months.B. The victims’ social status has changed greatly since 1940s.C. The disease causes skin wounds and nerve damage.D. The leprosy is still spreading quickly in many countries.D“Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, this subtitle (副标题) of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence (EI), unfortunately, has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say. Some readers even jumped to an absurd conclusion that “EI accounts for 80 percent of success.”I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” ar eas, where intelligence matters relatively little for success.IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter —whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.32. The author writes the passage to _____.A. state his new opinion on IQ and EIB. explain the importance of IQ and EIC. clear up some misunderstandings of his bookD. argue for his study into school learning33. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for _____.A. family relations; being promoted at workB. being a leader; receiving an MBA degreeC. winning a quiz; becoming a star performerD. becoming an accountant; getting an interview34. The author might agree that _____.A. success has everything to do with intelligenceB. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstoodC. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievementD. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain field35. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. the two same studies have opposite findingsB. the SEL programs im prove students’ scores rapidlyC. students’ school performance is decided by their EID. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Their 31 car vending machi ne was installed in Atlanta in 2013.

The tower basically serves as a(n) 33 point for used cars that customers purchase through the website, enabling 34 pricing and eliminating delivery costs.Customers can access a long list of specifications, ratings, reviews, and lots of other details about the cars they’re interested in on the Carvana website. They even get 35 tours that point out every scratch on the body of the car. Once the car is chosen and paid for, the company usually delivers the car to the customer fora seven-day trial period.

One key to a relaxing and meaningful holiday is finding what works best for you,both in terms of gift giving and other holiday traditions.Putting some thought into what the holidays mean to you and then focusing your energies on those aspects that leave you feeling most satisfied can help you let go of the stuff that may be stressing you out.28.What can we learn about the holiday gifts generations ago?A. They were valueless.B. They were highly valued.C. They were given little attention.D. They were more about expressing feelings.29.What is the result of focusing too much on receiving?A. Receivers are often disappointed.B. Gifts become the focus of holidays.C. Our culture grows more commercial.D. Much more money was spent on gifts.30.According to the text,how can we make holidays more meaningful?A. Avoiding giving and receiving gifts.B. Figuring out your real expectations.C. Doing some shopping in the holidays.D. Putting more thought into the gifts to give.31.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Changes in Giving GiftsB. What Stresses You out on Holidays?C. Are the Holidays Too Materialistic?D. The Development of Holiday TraditionsDAsking a patient to hum(哼唱)piano tunes and play fin instrument while undergoing brain surgery(手术)may sound like a strange request from a doctor.However,that is exactly what a team of brain specialists,led by Pilcher,requested Dan Fabbio to do.In 2015,the then 25-year-old musician was diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤),which was located in the part of the brain known to be active when people listen to and make music.“Removing a tumor from the brain can have significant consequences depending on its location,”Pilcher says.“Both the tumor and the operation can damage tissue and affect communication between different parts of the brain.”Fabbio,therefore,feared the surgery would cause him to lose his musical ability.To prevent that from happening,Pilcher and his colleague designed many tests,including asking Fabbio to listen to piano tunes and hum back during MRI scans.This enabled the physicians to locate the area that is vital for music and language processing and create a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.Despite the great starting point,it was not a perfect way to prevent possible damage to the.The only way was to keep the patient awake and ask him to hum piano tunes during the surgery so that the surgeons could identify the areas to avoid.While the surgery went smoothly,the real test came when Fabbio was asked to play a song on his saxophone.The tunehad been simplified to ensure that it would not require too much strength and cause harm to the stitches(缝线)in the brain.He played it faultlessly,and when he finished,the entire operating room erupted in applause.The researchers say that a year after the groundbreaking surgery,the young musician can once again hear tunes in everything—even his electric toothbrush.32.What can we infer from P ilcher’s words in Paragraph 2?A. Fabbio’s brain was seriously damaged.B. The surgery would be a huge challenge.C. Fabbio’s brain parts failed to communicate.D. The surgery had to be performed immediately.33.What’s the major difficulty in Fabbio’s surg ery?A. To keep his brain active.B. To help him overcome fear.C. To protect his musical ability.D. To enable him to play an instrument.34.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Creating a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.B. Removing the tumor from Fabbio’s brain.C. Keeping Fabbio awake during the surgery.D. Listening to piano tunes during MRI scans.35.Why was Fabbio requested to hum piano tunes during the surgery?A. To save his strength.B. To check the surgery result.C. To make the stitches work easier.D. To locate the vital area for music.三、七选五Gratitude(感恩)is a social feeling.Many people see it as relationship—strengthening because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and recognized by other people.First,it’s belief o f goodness.We are convinced that there are good things in the world,gifts and benefits we’ve received.The second part of gratitude is figuring out where that goodness comes from.36.It doesn’t come from anything we necessarily did ourselves.Instead,we acknowledge that other people gave us many gifts to help us achieve the goodness in our lives.37.Of course,there are various important reasons.Here are some of them.Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present.38.We notice the positives more,and that enlarge the pleasures you get from life.Instead of adapting to goodness,we celebrate goodness.Gratitude blocks negative feelings.You cannot feel envious and grateful at the same time.39.If you’re grateful,you can’t hate someone for having something that you don’t.Those are very different ways of connecting to the world,and sure enough,research has suggested that people who have high levels of gratitude have low levels of negative feelings.40.That’s because when you’re grateful,you have the sense that someone else has provided for your happiness.You notice a network of relationships of people think it’s worthwhile to help you get to where you are right now.Realizing someone has seen the value in you transforms the way you see yourself.A.They’re contradictory feelings.B.It strengthens positive feelings.C.Gratitude heightens your sense of self-worth.D.Most of the time,it makes you feel confused.E.Gratitude allows us to participate more in life.F.So why gratitude has such effects on people’s lives?G.We recognize the sources of it as being outside of ourselves.第II卷(非选择题)四、短文改错41.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
2018年广东省高考英语听说模拟考试题1
PART A Reading AloudEighty percent of plants on earth have flowers. Flowers have just one role:to enable the plant to produce offspring. Color, perfume, nectar and shape all act to make a flower irresistible. Sunflowers grow to face the rising sun. The warmth of the rays speeds the production of nectar and this lures pollinators. One after another, hundreds of individual florets produce pollen-covered stamens. And like most flowers, sunflowers establish a close relationship with animals in order to ensure their reproduction. As these bees busily feed on nectar, they unwittingly brush against the stamens, collecting pollen and then carry it from flower to flower.PART B Role Play角色:你是学生。

AYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.●Michael Dell,University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.● UniversityHalf my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure .The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much asa desire for success.●Steve Jobs,Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a 't lose faith...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, and don't settle.●Bill Gates,Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities(不公平)like hunger, poverty, and so on.Michael Dell said is to urge us to .to our heartour dreamsothers' examplefrom our mistakesdid fear most when she was studying in university. . . .wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"Dell. Gates. Jobs.does Bill Gates suggest people docontributions to the environment.responsibility for their own behavior.joint efforts to rid some global problems.as much advanced technology as possible.BMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be financial. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.School size also plays a major role in the decision you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number, a small college is those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting.Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Finally,one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted.

To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province, Senglim created a photography project. He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name, its identifying features,whether the species is endangered or the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat and illegal hunting. Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture. Educating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim. "Education is very limited. And in terms of legal enforcement, only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance, which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns(镇压)so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018. He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers.
