She noticed them and called for help.Jack, a man on the ice rescue team, moved forward on the ice carefully to save the boys. When he covered half of the 200 feet, the ice broke. He had to make hisway throu gh the water. The training he had received worked as designed.It was already dark by the time the boys were taken back to the bank. The boys didn't seem to be frightened, but their hands and feet got pretty cold. They were taken to hospital for treatment.“We often have kids trying to see how far out they can go,” said the spokesman. “That was pretty foolish, Arizona Lake, usually doesn't get cold enough for ice to freeze solidly. Th ere was probably an inch of ice in the middle of the Lake.”。

The old lady and her husband are homeless, wandering in Shenzhen. Every evening, she sits near Shenzhen University, selling her paintings. When hungry, she just eats some dry food. Usually she can only finish two paintings a night, for either of which she charges 10 yuan. Tough as life is , the old lady has her pride and refuses to beg money from others.The old lady’s optimistic attitude towards life has left a deep impression on me. In addition, She would rather make a living by working hard than be a beggar. Her story puts me to shame, for I always complain about everything and has a habit of depending on others.I have learned the spirit of independence from the old lady. Besides, when faced with difficulties, I will choose never to give up and make the greatest efforts.听力读稿Text 1W: What is that you are listening? It is too noisy.

第I卷第一部分阅读理解[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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIt does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out ofyour day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新审视) yourself. It is never too late to change things that arenotworking in your life.Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention (意图;目的)for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an“attitude of gratitude (感恩)”.Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world —and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully inthe present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day? 1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. learning is helpful in reinventing ourselvesB. January 1st is the most important dayC. we should make every day a new startD. we needn't change ourselves at all2.If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.A. have a busy lifeB. get a positive resultC. get gifts from othersD. be a complete loser3.From the passage we can learn that ________.A. positive intentions for each day are of great helpB. think actively and you will be a winner, not a loserC. the present is not where you should live for everD. past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiserBEveryone wants to know the secrets of a long and healthy life. Here are some discoveries from health experts.Many studies looking into the lives of centenarians(百岁老人) look at what they eat. Many people who live into their hundreds live in the Mediterranean (地中海), so their diet, which is high in fruits,vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats like olive oil, gets a lot of attention. The diet has been linked to ahealthier older age, lower risk for heart disease, and even protection against memory loss.Education is related to a longer life. A 2012 report from the CDC‟s National Center for Health Statistics found that people with a bachelor‟s degree or higher live about ni ne years longer than people who don‟t graduate high school. James Smith, a health economist at the RAND Corporation, is also a supporter of the argument for staying in school for better life expectancy. His findings show education should be an even bigger factor than race and income. Educated people are more likely to land better jobs, plan for their future, and make healthier lifestyle choices.Being a hard worker doesn‟t necessarily mean job-stress will harm you. The Longevity (长寿)Study found that plenty of hard workers lived long lives. “Skeptics(怀疑者) may wonder if hard workers really are enjoying life.” the authors write, “We found that productive, hardworking people (even in old age) are not stressed or miserable, but tend to be happier, healthier, and more socially connected than their less productive peers.”Having a strong social group is associated with a longer life. We often turn to friends and family for support, and taking care of the people that matter to us may help us take better care of ourselves, some evidence shows. Some research even suggests that immune(免疫) function isimproved when we are around our friends, and that they help with stress management.Research shows that sitting for long period of time put people at risk for shorter lifespans and other health risks. A 2011 study found that each hour people spent sitting down and watching TV after age 25 was linked to 22 minutes from their overall life expectancy.4. The second paragraph mainly tells us that_______.A. Diet matters a lot to a long lifeB. People attach great importance to a long lifeC. Fruits and vegetables benefit healthD. Life styles play a role in health5. According to James Smith, which makes the greatest difference to a long life?A. RaceB. IncomeC. EducationD. Diet6. From the fourth paragraph, we know_____.A. Hard workers suffer from greater stressB. Less productive workers tend to be happier and healthierC. Hard workers are likely to enjoy a longer lifeD. Nobody doubts that hard workers really are enjoying life7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. diet and healthB. some discoveries on healthC. the value of good educationD. the secret of a happy lifeCSri Lanka is known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, and it is easy to see why. This little country never fails to please visitors.ArriveThe national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country‟s main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lanka‟s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you‟ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka‟s main religiousf estival, celebrated throughout the country. SeeThere is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, tow ering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla‟s cave temple, the country‟s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picture-like town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where age-old customs, arts, and crafts remain.DoSri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colorful coral reefs. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the word to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants.TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.Did you know?Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it i s also the world‟s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon(肉桂).8. Which of the following is a cultural relic centre of Sri Lanka?A. Anuradhapura.B. Kandy.C. Polonnaruwa.D. Colombo.9. If you want to know something about “Diwali”, you‟d b etter go there in .A. September.B. October.C. November.D. May.10. We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka .A. is in the Pacific OceanB. has only flights to LondonC. is the world‟s largest producer of teaD.is famo us for its excellent food11. The author wrote the article in order to .A. introduce the picturesque(如画的)landscape of Sri Lanka.B. let readers know what is famous for in Sri Lanka.C. make Sri Lanka well known throughout the world.D. let people get more travel information about Sri Lanka.DIf we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish(区别)between two quite separate activities reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in(从事于/参加)when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; it is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn‟tnormally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads.Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can‟t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, if the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.12. The passage is mainly about ____________.A. reading skillsB. reading processesC. silent readingD. reading aloud13. The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.A. step over something and fallB. walk with heavy movementsC. repeat something or pause for too long.D. speak in a fluent and confident way14. We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.A. discuss in detail how to read aloudB. introduce some more reading activitiesC. tell how good readers read in their own languageD. explain why we needn‟t say the words when reading for meaning15. We can conclude that ____________.A. reading silently is easier than reading aloudB. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in itC. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourselfD. there‟s no difference between reading in one‟s own language and in a foreign one第二节阅读填空 (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,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

高中英语真题:2016届高考考前模拟考试试题.doc

高中英语真题:2016届高考考前模拟考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.A Look at the Festival This Summer21.What is the most exciting part of Sheep Music?A.The garden party.B.The advertisement.C.The family feel.D.The parade.22.If you want to take your children to a festival,which one is the best choice?A.The Firegathering.B.Sheep Music.C.The Big Chill.D.Summer Sundae.23.What is the similarity of these festivals?A.They entertain attendants with music.B.They have a long history.C.They need advance booking.D.They can be compared with Glastonbury.2.When you attend children’s birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,we usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snappingphotos at an important event,beware—you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories.“I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,”she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result,children’s own childhood memories are reduced.The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.Henkel,who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others.Then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a“photo-taking effect”.The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says herstudents’memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit‘click’on that camera,it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory.”she says.24.What does the word“it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.An important event.B.A child’s birthday.C.A valuable photograph.D.A family holiday.25.According to Paragraph 3,why are children’s memories reduced?A.Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.B.Paren ts are not interested in listening to children’s experiences.C.Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing.D.Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.26.How did Henkel develop her theory about t he“photo-taking effect”?A.By carrying out an experiment.B.By giving a questionnaire.C.By interviewing a group of students.D.By researching the findings of the others.27.What’s the purpose of this passage?A.To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.B.To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.C.To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.D.To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.3.Jose Andre Montano Baina was born and raised in the town of Totora,Bolivia—not exactly the home of jazz.But now he is taking the Bolivian and the world music scene by storm.He has already performed in some of the country’s top occasions including the Legislative Palace and alongside famous musicians like Bolivian rocker Glen Vargas—what’s so great about that? How about the fact that Jose is just seven years old and,has no vision!The young musician began to show his extraordinary music talent at the age of four when he started playing the drums with a high standard of ability and skills,which are usually played by artists three times his age.After mastering them,he quickly moved on to the piano and by the age of five had formed a jazz band! And,while the young boy knows every jazz song in the book and can play them all with great ease and confidence,it is not the only kind of music he enjoys.This Bolivian prodigy(神童)has various musical taste and isn’t limited to jazz.He also loves listening to blues,heavy metal,tango,bolero and anything in between!His extremely proud father is quick to admit that he has nothing to do with his son’s unusual talent.In fact he didn’t even know much about jazz until Jose started to play.“I didn’t know jazz before,he got me into it.It’s as if he was born a jazz chip(芯片)inside him,I don’t know how to explain how it came about;it’s like the jazz was already inside him.”His father recalled.As for the young rising superstar,he leads a pretty normal life despite all the fame.Just like the rest of you,he goes to school,does homework and yes,has chores assigned (派给)to him as well !28.What is the text mainly about?A.Young blind jazz prodigy rises in Bolivia.B.Jazz chip is found inside the prodigy.C.To educate a jazz prodigy in successful ways.D.Bolivia’s jazz prodigy performs different songs.29.What can we learn about Jose Andre from the text?A.He made performing tours throughout the world.B.He was born exactly in the home of jazz.C.His father helped a great deal in his success.D.He had talent in music though he was blind.30.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.Jose Andre is now a famous superstar.B.Great fame has changed Jose Andre greatly.C.Jose Andre still lives his normal life as before.D.Jose Andre devotes all his spare time to music.31.What might be the author’s purpose in writing this text? A.To advertise Jose Andre’s music works.B.To show the way to bring up the prodigy.C.To tell us how to deal with great fame.D.To tell us the story of a jazz prodigy.4.Characters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do.Sometimes they cause trouble,take on lives of their own,or even work against the writer.It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors:famed children’s noveli st Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so“wrong”that when he’d finished his first version,he threw it away and started again.Of course it’s not the characters’fault.The problem lies with the author.Take Stephen King,who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed.“It is definitely harder,”King said.“When I wrote Carrie many years ago,I was one step away from physical labour.”This is also true for characters’ages,added King.“When you have small children,it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time.But your kids grow up.It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.”For other authors,such as Karen Fowler,there’s one quality that canstop a character in its tracks:boredom.“I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,”s he says.“She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class,but they were not attitudes I liked.Eventually I grew quite bored with her.You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with,but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you.”According to Neel Mukherjee,it was Adinath,a character in The Lives of Others,who made him work the hardest.“I think I struggled because it’s difficult to write a c haracter whose most prominent personal feature is weakness,as Adinath’s is,without making that feature define him.”Mukherjee says.But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest,he continues,arguing that“when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”.“That is a fantastic thing to happen,”Mukherjee says.“I celebrate it.It is one of the great,lucky gifts given to a writer.”32.What can we infer about Stephen King’s book Carrie?A.It was

高考英语-阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)-专题练习(含答案解析)

2017年高考英语专题练习(七)阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild. 2.The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.A.following space orderB.following time orderC.making classificationsD.giving examples3.Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查)on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context(背景)of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents — today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents andtheir college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.3.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?()4.【贵州省遵义航天高级中学2016届高三第四次模拟】When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevantto a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new gener ation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺)society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.4.The passage is arranged as follows ________5.【陕西省咸阳市武功县2016届高三上学期摸底考试】Salvador Dali (1904-1989)was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional ReinaSofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. 5.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali? ________A.By popularityB.By time and subject.C.By size and shapeD.By importance.阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)答案1~5 ABBAB阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)解析1.【文章大意】随着现代科技的发展,树荫下种植的咖啡产量越来越少,取而代之的是受到阳光暴晒的考费。

Take your time, and if you feel tired, stop and rest. Remember that the joy of cycling tours is the ride itself. Get close to nature and see things you wouldn’t normally see when you were traveling by car or bus. And if you’re planning your journey in the summer, take plenty of water. You ar e advised to drink at least one liter of water every hour. If the weathe r is not very warm, make sure you take some warm clothes. And put them on when you stop riding. Even in cold w eather you can become very warm when you are riding and then it is very easy to catch a cold, or even get a fever when you stop.。

In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations -----UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded -----the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project -----Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.27.
