2016安徽“江南十校”高三联考英语试题及答案
2016安徽 “江南十校”高三联考英语试题第二部分阅读理解(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。
AThe MinionsThese yellow creatures become a big hit for their cuteness of loving bananas, nonsense words and silly movements. When you watched Despicable Me (2010), did you predict the Minions would laterbecome the main attraction? From background characters and then main characters, their success proves good animated creations can take on a life of their own spin-offs(续集)The penguinsThe penguins were originally just sidekicks in Madagascar(2005). But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series, and in 2014 starred in the film Penguins of Madagascar. The penguins‟ wit, sarcasm and crafty composure not only adds attraction to the kid-friendly franchise, but also servesadult audiences well. So it's not surprising that they got their own movie.ScratA small and furry squirrel with a long tail from animated movi e Ice Age(2002), Scrat has won people‟s hearts with its persistence in acorns. It is a big part of its(Ice Age‟s) enduring appeal. He demands a lot of nuts, but he is a superstar, and he does his own stunts. Scrat now has his own animated shorts,extended scenes and mini-movies.Puss in BootsOriginally a fairy tale written by French author Charles Perraut, Puss in Boots features a cat that helps his low-born master gain wealth and power through trickery. The cat later appeared in the Shrek franchise. In 2011, he had his own movie fittingly titled Puss in Boots.21. According to the text, an adult is more likely to enjoy the character ______. A. the Minions B. the Penguins C. Scrat D. Puss in Boots22. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word …sidekicks‟ in the second part? A. assistants B. leading players C. standers-by D. minor roles 23. What do the four characters have in common?A. They have contributed most to the success of their original films.B. They have proved that the audience usually favor cute animalsC. They have completely stolen the show with their own series.D. They have shown their shared qualities of honesty, loyalty and unselfishness. BZero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature‟s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes --- with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration, used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.28. According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.A. eatingB. taking bathsC. sleepingD. answering nature‟s call29. How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.30. To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______A. a plastic bagB. a sticky stripC. a wide hoseD. a thigh bar31. What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts‟ urine is recycled?A. The recycled water tastes better.B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.D. Space science includes recycling urine.CToday, paper-making is a big business. But it is still possible to make paper by hand, since the steps are the same as using big machines.You should use paper with small amounts of printing. Old envelopes are good for this reason. Colored paper also can be used, as well as small amounts of newspaper. Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added. These should be cut into pieces about five centimeters by five centimeters.Everything is placed in a container, covered with water and brought to a boil. It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool. Then it is left until most of the water dries up. The substance left, called pulp(纸浆), can be stored until you are ready to make paper.When you are ready, the pulp is mixed with water again. Then the pulp is poured into a mold. The mold is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper. To help dry the paper, the mold lets the water flow through the small wire squares.After several more drying steps, the paper is carefully lifted back from the mold. It is now strong enough to be touched.The paper is smoothed and pressed to remove trapped air. You can use a common electric iron used for pressing clothes.24. It is suggested that we “should choose paper with small amounts of printing” to_____.A. make paper by ourselvesB. renew the old envelopesC. make various colored paperD. create our own newspaper25. Whether the paper is strong enough to be touched is determined by _____.A. how long the pulp is storedB. how thick the paper isC. how much water remainsD. what type of chemicals are used26. When the paper is lifted from the mold, it is time to _____.A. make it smoothB. make it strongC. decorate itD. use an iron27. The passage is most probably intended to _____.A. introduce the history of paper-makingB. describe the process of paper-makingC. compare the ancient with the modern paper-makingD. argue about the possibility of paper-making by handDThe federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition(营养不良). A breakfast program was added during the 1960s, and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school.More must be done to fight the childhood obesity(肥胖) epidemic, which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes, high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people. The place to start is schools, where junk food sold outside the federal meals program—through snack bars and vending machines—has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years. Until new regulations are written, children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(钠) snacks elsewhere in school. Many states‟ school districts have taken positive steps, but others are likely to resist, especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities, and even copier expenses.Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice, milk, and water were very little. Even if the switch costs money, so be it. The school should not be trading their students‟ health to buy office supplies.Over the last five decades, the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled. Unless there is decisive action, weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death.32. According to this passage, ______ are to blame for the childhood obesity.A. weight-related disordersB. high calorie snacksC. parents‟ bad habitsD. unhealthy lunches and breakfast33. Which is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Federal governments deserve high praise for their school lunch program.B. New regulations are badly in need of updating.C. Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school.D. Federal rules encourage snacks outside the school program.34. The passage is concerned mainly with ______.A. Malnutrition in low-income childrenB. The federal school lunch programC. obesity at schoolD. the nutritional value of food served at school35. The tone of this passage is ______.A. negativeB. indifferentC. optimisticD. ironic第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet. , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach. , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential. When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class.

The first smart phones enabled the users to send and receive emails. Later models added the function of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation (导航) units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smart phones also include touchscreens and web browsers (浏览器) that display web pages.A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smart phone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a co nversation instead of traditional communication. It’s no secret that our lives are being affected by our smart phones obsession.However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.Ironically, YouTube’s data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene Deguzman, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of whom are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.【1】People prefer a smart phone to a common one, because the latter only can help us ______.A.check emails B.send messages C.find the destination D.watch a video【2】The underlined word “obsession” in the third paragraph most probably means “______”.A.devotion B.contribution C.addiction D.emotion【3】Which of the following is right?A.People spend as average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using smart phones.B.The film hasn’t been put on in the cinema.C.The film is written by an actor named Charlene Deguzman.D.The film has already been viewed more than 105 million times in the first few days.【4】When the writer mentions the number of people watching the film from mobile devices in the fifth paragraph, he mainly feels ______.A.encouraged B.depressed C.proud D.satisfied2.Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.Three years later, Roussel’s grandfath er died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员), but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指挥家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manu script (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and b ecame a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel's navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel's manuscript to the conductor.【1】Which of the following shows the right order of the story?a.

Sponsorship rights (冠名权) for the show's second season were sold for 312 million yuan (about $ 50 million), more than ten times higher than the rights to the first season.What accounts for its popularity? The show features a new generation of Chinese fathers, who, as part of the country’s new middle class, have faced more problems with modern child-raising techniques such as taking an active role with their children.Part of the appeal of the show is the chance to throw a glance at the lives of Chinese celebrities (名流) and their children. Audiences are interested in watching the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, doing hair,and disciplining (管教) children -- tasks often left to mothers in a society still influenced by t he saying that “men rule outside and women are inside.” “In traditional Chinese culture, fathers are strict and mothers are kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing, ” said Li Minyi, an associate professor. “This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society -- what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”After each episode (集) goes to air, the Chinese internet explodes with comments on each celebrity's parentingstyle.Actor Guo Tao tries to communicate with his son, Shitou, but is seen as a more traditional Chinese father, and has been criticised online for being too harsh. Zhang Liang, a supermodel, is an audience favorite for treating his son, Tiantian, more like a fri end. The show’s most famous celebrity, Lin Zhiying, a film star, was originally praised as patient with his son Kimi. But as the season progresses, fans begin to criticise him for raising a spoiled, undisciplined boy. Director Wang Yuelun is at a complete loss when it comes to care of his daughter’s hair.Even the People's Daily is pleased with the success of the show.【1】Sponsorship rights for the show’s first season were sold for about______.A.312 million yuan B.50 million yuanC.31 million yuan D.600 million yuan【2】According to the passage, the show______.A.gives audiences the chance to raise the star's children themselvesB.invites some famous film stars to take part in itC.lets people think about the role of fathers in modern familiesD.raises people's concern about women's role in the society【3】The underlined word “harsh" in the fifth paragraph most probably means “______”.A.careless B.strict C.clumsy D.kind【4】According to the writer, ______is the most successful father.A.Guo Tao B.Zhang Liang C.Lin Zhiying D.Wang Yuelun5.A new study has found evidence of aggressive (攻击性的) behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day. Information for the study came from the mothers of 3,000 5-year-olds. Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period. They were also asked to complete a checklist of their children’s behavior.The researchers have found that 43 percent of the children drink at least one daily serving of soda, and 4 percent of the youngsters have even four or more sodas to drink every day.Shakira Suglia, a famous expert, says they’ve found that children who drink the most soda are more than twice as likely as those who drink no soda to show signs of aggression.“For the children who consume four or more soft drinks per day, we see more withdrawn behaviors, which make them hard to get along well with others.”The aggressive behaviors include destroying possessions belonging to others, taking part in fights and physically attacking people.The researchers have determined the link after considering factors like the child’s age and sex. They have also considered other possible influence, such as whether the boys and girls are eating sweets or giving fruit drinks on a normal day. In addition, the researchers have examined parenting styles and other social conditions that may be taking place in the home.Researches are trying to find why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems. An ingredient often found in soft drinks is caffeine, which helps to make people feel energetic. Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could cause the 5-year-olds to be more aggressive. Earlier studies of adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons (武器) and show signs of negative social behavior.【1】What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?A.Scientific Technology B.Science FictionsC.Social News D.Health Report【2】The underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by the word ______. A.backward B.unsocial C.generous D.friendly【3】Researchers studied the following aspects of the children except ______.A.age B.sex C.games D.parents【4】According to the research, which of the following is right?A.Mothers were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a three-month period.B.4 percent of the youngsters have even four or fewer sodas to drink every day.C.Children who drink no soda show fewer aggressive behaviors.D.Children with the highest sugar levels tend to carry weapons and show signs of negative social behavior.【5】After a further study on ingredients in soda, Shakira Suglia implies that the direct cause of the aggressive behaviors may be ______.A.soft drinks B.attention problemsC.caffeine D.social conditions四、其他认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

AWriter: Ralph Ellison Novel : Invisible ManInvisible Man is Ellison’s best known work, most likely because it was the only novel he ever published during his lifetime and because it won him the National Book Award in 1953. Ellison, originally from Oklahoma worked hard to match his earlier success but felt that he could not make any progress on his next novel that eventually came to include well over 2000 pages.
