福州市2015届高三质检英语试题(2015.3)(含答案)
W: Hi. I want to find a place to have supper. There are many restaurants in this area. It is difficult to decide which one to go to. When I choose a restaurant, I always take its nearby restaurants into consideration; it must be the super one among all of them. M: It sounds reasonable. But it’s simpler for me to pick a restaurant as long as the restaurant is big enough and have seats available. W: Oh, look! I think this one is pretty good. M: It seems that the number of seats there is great. W: OK. Let’s go. (Text 8) W: The weekend is almost here. Let’s do something together. M: You’re right. How about going camping? W: It’s a bit cold for camping, don’t you think? M: Alright, let’s go hiking instead. W: Hmm, I don’t have energy to do that. Every time I go back from hiking, I need several days to have a rest. How about going to the museum? M: Well, it doesn’t sound very exciting, but I’ll go. Then afterwards, let’s go out for dinner. W: Why don’t we eat at home instead? I went shopping this morning and there’s a lot of food in the fridge. M: Sounds good. Well, how about going to see a movie in the cinema after dinner? W: Great. Now let’s try and decide what movie to watch. (Text 9) W: Well, I’m really worried about how I’m going to deal with university life. Maybe if I knew the university a bit better, that might help. M: Do you have a map of the university? W: Yes. M: Well, let’s look at it together. OK, we are here now in Dalton House. Opposite this building is the Arts Block where you will find the computers. The computer rooms are open from 9:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m. weekdays. W: Fine. M: Another important building is the students’ union. To get to the students’ union you keep going down University Lane, past the Science Block on your left. Opposite the Science Block are the Chemistry labs and the students’ union is just on the right, next to Lab B. W: Fine. But I get a bit confused about the directions. M: Probably the best thing to do is to walk around and familiarize yourself with everything. Now I need you to fill in this form. Take it away with you and then make an appointment to see me again and we’ll go over it. My telephone number is on the form. You can ring me anytime, except on Thursday. (Text 10)

I love my fiancé（未婚夫）a lot but we are getting into a lot of arguments (25) ________ o ur wedding plans. I would prefer a small wedding, just our im mediate family and closest friends. I think it is such a special moment and I only want the people who are most important to be near us. I don’t want to be surrounded by people not really(26)_________ (care) about us. He wants the whole world to be there——the mail carrier, the baker, the butcher!!! My fiancé says a we dding day is (27)___________ (important) day in anyone’s life. He wants to share his joy with everyone.It’s not a question whether we can afford it although I do worr y about how much a wedding costs and I would rather save th e money for a house. I dislike (28) ________ (fight) but I just d on’t feel comfortable with his plans.——NervousDear Nervous,Planning weddings (29)________be very stressful. Each perso n has clear ideas about (30)________ his or her “perfect” wed ding would be. Each person has dreams and hopes for that d ay. Now it is (31)_______ good time to practice compromising(妥协) with your husband-to-be. Neither one of you should be unhappy on your wedding d ay. If you get your way, your husband will be unhappy. If he g ets his way, it sounds (32)_______ _________ you will be unha ppy.Why don’t the two of you talk about a compromise? Perhaps a medium-sized wedding? Perhaps two weddings——a small intimate ceremony and a large reception? You will hav e to compromise many times in your married life. You both ca n start now.——Sally(B)Since early times, people (33) ______ (fascinate) by the idea o f life existing somewhere else besides the Earth. Until recently , scientists believe that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning (34)______(locate) places where life could form. In 1997, they saw other evidence of pla nets near other stars like the sun.

You may wonder (39) ______ li ght is also needed for life to form.Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But n ow places have been found on earth, (40) ______ are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface. And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there. So the lack of light in Europa’s sub-surface ocean doesn’t automatically rule out life forming.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.A. signalB. forceC. commercialD. functioningE. actuallyF. originalG. identifying H. track I. monitor J. disaster K. weightYou never see him, but they’re with you every time you fly. Th ey record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is 41 normally. Their a bility to withstand (承受) almost any 42 makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They’re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, th e black box is the best bet for 43 what went wrong. So whe n a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device’s 44 five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a traged y in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would45 basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. 46 flights by 1960. Early models often failed to with stand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely r edesigned and moved to the back of the plane—the area least affected by impact—from its 47 position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required th at the boxes, which were never 48 black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which is designed to track pilots’ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which is meant to 49 fuel levels, engine nois es and other operating functions that help investigators recon struct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge 50 and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When in deep water, th ey’re also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Exper ts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashe d near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, b ut statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximat ely 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Beginning of DramaThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in anci ent Greece. The one most widely accepted today is 51 on t he assumption that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginni ng, human beings 52 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 53 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures whi ch appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 54 rituals.55 , stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 56 , but t he stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argu e that those rituals contained the seed of theatre because mu sic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used.57 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a(n) 58 divisi on was usually made between the “area of acting” and the “ar ea in which an audience sits”. Besides, there were performers , and, since considerable importance was 59 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 6 0 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitat ed other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 61 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the S un—as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives w ere separated from 62 activities.Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human inte rest in 63 . According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread 64 through th e use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through th e assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A clos ely related theory traces theater to those dances that are prim arily gymnastic or that are 65 of animal movements and sounds.51. A .focused B. depended C. basedD. determined52. A. viewed B. employed C. imaginedD. dismissed53. A. acknowledge B. control C guaranteeD. possess54. A. usual B. direct C. convincing D . fixed55 A. Apparently B. Actually C. Eventually D. Naturally56. A. spread B. abandoned C. followedD. celebrated57. A. As a result B. In fact C. On the contraryD. In addition58. A. conscious B. concreteC clear D extra59. A. attached B. related C. committed D. exposed60. A. put up B. took up C. took onD. put on61. A. unexpected B. unpredicted C. preparedD. desired62. A. social B. political C. economicD. religious63. A. accounts B. story-telling C. descriptions D drama-writing64. A. at that time B. at a time C. at firstD. at once65. A. imitations B. demonstration C. presentation s D. exhibitionsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passag e is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. F or each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appear ance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making ? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattracti ve clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect peo ple unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the wa y a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In gener al, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect o n all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low self-respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by other s. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy pe ople are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior. They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because th ey believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may res pond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just sa ying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fo rtunately, people can overcome shyness with determination si nce shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is i mportant for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we u nderstand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.66. The first paragraph is mainly about___________.A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people67. According to the writer, self-awareness is___________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of shy peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characte ristic68. What is the shy people's reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel it is not true .C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.69. We can learn from the passage that shyness can _______ ____.A. block our chances for a successful lifeB. help us to live up to our full developmentC. enable us to understand ourselves betterD. have nothing to do with lack of self respectBRoughly half of college students will have some degree of d epression at some point during their time in school. Even mor e startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 c onsidered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to a n American College Health Association study released this sp ring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals th at produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fi ght depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exe rcise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depressio n. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sport s is not enough.Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ men tal health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down t he drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian Un iversity, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family m embers and friends from childhood and high school has beco me easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video c hat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist tha t it’s important to make friends in your new environment and b e involved in the college community, it’s also significant to kee p in touch with the people you knew before college.Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defen d you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep pa tterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental h ealth. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to lear ning and memory formation.70. According to the passage, physical activity __________.A. is regarded as the best way to fight depressionB. contributes to the release of endorphinsC. can’t help the seriously depressed studentsD. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize71. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________.A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of moneyB. students with mental health problems can’t get on well withothersC. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courageD. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psyc hological tests72. Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ______________.A. provides a way to avoid getting boredB. helps students stay in contact with othersC. offers students a way to make new friendsD. enables students to get involved in college life73. Which of the following can NOT help one reduce depressi on?A. Taking exercise regularly every week.B. Chatting with old friends with Skype.C. Turning to mental health experts for advice.D. Holding parties deep into the night to relax.CYou Are What You EatGenetic engineering is the scientific change of the geneticmaterial in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify spe cific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosome s （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organi sm, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional bre eding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same s pecies, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into orga nisms of different species．Wow--Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered（GE）foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased．Impr oved taste，shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. U nlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on g enetically engineered foods or on foods that contain geneticall y engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．The public is also concerned about the unknown health risk s. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predi ct possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body , it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover , due to the lack of labeling if allergies（过敏）develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them ．There is also a major moral question in many minds．For m any, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them b ecause it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently pro ducing one and a half times the amount of food needed to fee d the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many be lieve that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, y et we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentia lly harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these fo ods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．74. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different f rom genetic engineeringbecause ________________.A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same specie sB. traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC. traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD. traditional breeding is more scientific75. "The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates __________ ______.A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to cust omersB. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD. the US government is responsible for GE food76. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary becau se_____________.A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB. there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC. we're now producing more food than beforeD. customers will benefit from GE food77. What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A. Welcoming．B. Disapproving．C. Unconcerned．D. Optimistic．Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.We take it for granted that with memory we can remember mo st of things which happened in our life. But it is difficult to ima gine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions(感知), the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, whic h are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the ability to keep information avail able for later use. It not only includes “remembering”things lik e arithmetic(算术) or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat g ives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspici ous in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in so me physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting t o compare the memory storage capacity(容量) of a computer with that of a human being. The instant acc ess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “wor ds”—strings of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably rec ognizes the meaning of about 1000,000 words of English. Ho wever, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number o f faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solvin g intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s me mory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But whil e language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory cap acity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, s etting them apart from other animals.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N O MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. What can we say about “memory”?79. According to the writer, the storage capacity of a human being is ______________________.80. The advanced problem solving intelligence of human bein gs is based on the fact ______________.81. What makes human beings different from other animals a ccording to the passage?第II卷（共47分）I.

I used to play chess, but I wasn’t vey good at it. I found it really difficult to concentrate. In fact, I never won a game of chess, so I stopped playing after a while.M: That’s a pity. What about this one? You cooked dinner?W: Yes. I like cooking. I do it because I enjoy it, especially at weekends when I’ve got plenty of time.M: That sounds amazing. Maybe I can try some of your dishes next weekend.(Text 8)W: When did you decide to make your own videos in your spare time?M: When I was 12 I loved to watch other people’s videos online. One day I thought, “I want to do that.” So I did.W: Was it difficult to learn?M: No, not at all. All you need is a computer with a camera, and some video software. I found it easy because I enjoy playing with technical things.W: What’s the best thing about it?M: I love reading the messages other video makers write under their videos. Sometimes they are funny.W: What about the future?M: I’ll never stop making videos. I hope to work in the music business when I graduate.W: Well, good luck. And thanks for talking to me.M: Thank you. It was fun.(Text 9)W: Can I help you?M: Yes. I’m a new student. Where should I go?W: Well, this is the programme for this morning which starts at 9:30. All the new students will first gather in the meeting room where you’ll be introduced to the staff.M: Where is that then?W: I’ll tell you in a moment. But just let me tell you the details of this morning’s activities.M: OK, then.W: Firstly at a quarter to ten, in the hall, which is next to the meeting room, the Director of the Studies will talk to you about the different courses and their requirements. This should last for about 45 minutes. Then at about half past ten the Student Accommodation Officer will talk about the student dormitories and some social activities that we offer. That’s in the same place. He will finish at about 11:00. Then there’ll be a short break, after which you’ll be taken to Classroom 3 at about 11:15 for a test.M: Oh, I did not know I’d have to take a test.W: Take it easy. It’s not like an exam. It just helps us find your level of English and put you in the right class.M: OK, I see.(Text 10)W: Hi, there, everybody, and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell you about a few special events happening here today.The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants — the different types ofants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock.At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating and it’s called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, a little farther than Theater A and Theater B — so bear that in mind for 12 o’clock. And it lasts 45 minutes.The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife taking place in the Exhibition Room and given by Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch. You will spend half an hour there.。

Some days, he even carried me outside to absorb some much-needed sunshine.By summer’s end, I was back on my feet and starting my fresh man year in high school. At last, my father’s words 44 : “ Thi s, too, has passed!”I’ve lived through a lot of life’s 45 since then, of course. My f ather taught me to hold on to the good 46 and let go of the bad.

Each passag e is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ASticking to the following exercises will probably help you to reach your fitness goal.1. Jumping ropeJumping rope is a cheap and easily portable exercise that you c an do almost anywhere. This workout burns more calories per minute than any other workout. One of the best things about ju mping rope is that you can do it with your kids. Moreover, jumpi ng rope is a fantastic way to fit in a highly effective cardio（有氧运动）session（锻炼项目） when you are on the go. Simply toss your jumping rope in your carry-on and you don’t need to look for the nearest gym. So, who said jumping rope is only for kids?2. PushupsUnfortunately, many people avoid doing pushups since this exe rcise is a bit harder to perform, but it can do wonders for your b ody. There are plenty of different pushups that work the differen t muscles in the shoulders and arms. Try to vary your pushup st yle to lower your risk of becoming bored with exercise. Do push ups a few days a week to help sculpt the arms and overall trans form the body. Plus, pushups are good for your heart and this e xercise helps to improve your posture. Just make sure you do t hem correctly — learn to do pushups with your back straight to avoid straining your back.3 . SwimmingThe great news for all lovers of swimming and for those who ar e trying to transform their bodies – it is a super effective workou t that will bring you astonishing results. It helps strengthen your core and work different muscle groups. It helps to reduce your b lood pressure and strengthen your heart. Plus, it is a wonderful way for your family to get moving and have plenty of fun togeth er. Though, this exercise is not as portable as jumping rope4. CyclingA cycling workout is a foolproof way to get a great sweat and w ork your legs. It strengthens your legs and back, encourages yo ur heart to work more efficiently and aids in weight loss. Cycling is also one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your everyda y routine since it’s a great means of transportation. It gets you fi t and saves you money. Bring along your significant other or frie nd, or cycle solo, and ensure you get the most out of your work out.56. What do you know about “Pushups”?A. Pushups can be practiced easily.B.

Some effective ways to keep healthy.BThe boys crowded in two teams at the front of Charlene Skinner ’s class as they thought over the math problem that flashed on t he whiteboard. “That’s not right,” one boy said. “It says find the slope,” another boy said, instructing his classmates. Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. W hen the assigned time was up, asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl s aid after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said a nother.This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Mid dle School in ’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distra ctions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from exp ensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little ev idence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on thei r curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting att ention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and scie nce classes.But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of lear ning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether t here are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument th at boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and scienc e when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “O ne of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for th e adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult wor ld.”61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.B. To show how the students behave in class.C. To show how the two lessons are different.D. To show how the class activities are organized.62. Why does teach students separately?A. Because single-sex classes are popular in .B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classe s.D. Because it is a private and expensive school.63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their stu dy.C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .65. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classesD. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed furt herCEnergy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you t hink so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has b een the dream of American president for decades, and never m ore so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil pric e shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great rec ession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concept s that are rarely though through. What is it we want independen ce from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that o ld from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels c ause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast ar eas of the are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environm ental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy productio n in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficien cy, and when we buy things from places that have lower produc tion costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the is also a large exporter of oil products, sell ing about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to abo ut 90 countries.There is no question that the imports a great deal of energy an d, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. Wh en that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies andhigher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic b enefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world m arket and when we engage in energy trade around the world.66. What does the author say about energy independence for ?A.It sounds very attractive. C.It will bring oil prices down.B.It ensures national security. D.It has long been everyone’s dr eam.67. What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep ’s economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment.68. Why does rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment complete.D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.69. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C. It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the importance of energy conservation.B.To excite Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C.To defend ’s dependence on oil imports.D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are j ust trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are ove rweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic resu lts. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight whe n you stop your weight loss program. This is because such prog rams are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98 %. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only wayto lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercis e.Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion size s, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try us ing a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your mea l for later.You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions i n your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting l ow-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You ca n easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't n ecessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weig ht loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand insteadof running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your ris k of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.Title: 71Ⅰ.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this ye ar—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes . Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates a nd 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans t o spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an ave rage $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the y ear for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in anews release that year after year the trend is the same."It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first ce lebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in , explained that children r elate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in th e family."We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to pow er, business, or money."81. How will 22 percent of Americans celebrate Father's Day?

Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.DLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desiresthat little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is usthe real us. It’s the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little deadinside because you’re dropping you.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges. While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mindor the minds of those close to ususually says we can’t.That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again.

It’s impr actical to change our way of thinking.D.

2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（福建卷）第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 . It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy37. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected38.

Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Eood and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!56. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must .A. wear various formal clothesB. roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC. kick or throw their cheeseD. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos57.Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A. In New Mexico.B. In the Caribbean.C. In Australia.D. In China.58. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts _____ .A. three daysB. seven daysC. less than three daysD. more than seven days59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B.More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.BPapa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He was determined that none of his children would be denied ( 拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen."Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today. ""I learned that the population of Nepal is .... "Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation（拯救）of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . " he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is. " And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming(肯定）our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting（传授）what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.60. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. The author's father was born in a worker's family.B. Those born stupid could not change their life.C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D. The poor could hardly afford school education.61. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to “______”.A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment62. It can be learned from the passage that the author_______.A. enjoyed talking about newsB. knew very well about NepalC. felt regret about those wasted daysD . appreciated his father's educational technique63.

The author's father can be best described as_________.A. an educator expert at training future teachersB. a parent insistent on his children's educationC. a participant willing to share his knowledgeD. a teacher strict about everything his students did65.

Building Up FitnessWriting a funny speech is possibly a lot harder than writing a serious-minded one. Are you up for it? Well, if you think you are, try these steps.Choose a funny topic. Ask your partner, friends, etc., if they agree with you that you have chosen a funny topic. Nothing is less funny than choosing a topic that only satisfies your sense of humor but not anybody else’s. If you can’t think of a funny topic, choose one on an everyday activity. 36Research your topic. If you can’t think of enough witticisms (妙语) of your own, go online and hunt down other people’s. 37 But if you’re performing in public, be sure to acknowledge others’ or to paraphrase (改写) it so that you are not copying.Write in a humorous way.38 Don’t choose unclear references. Choose something that everyone is bound to know and understand. Naturally, this will depend on the make-up of those listening to your speech. Make jokes about your topic; that way, everyone will understand, unless the audience has a horrible sense of humor.39 If they don’t laugh, this might be a sign to rewrite your speech. Get a good listener. Someone who is a lot like the majority of your audience would be a good listener, because you will know exactly what to say to make them laugh.Have fun! If you go up to give your speech and you’re shaky and nervous because you don’t think anyone will laugh, everyone will be more focused on terrifying you than listening to your speech. 40 Chances are that you’ll never have to speak in front of them again.A.Ask your listeners to come back.B.Humor works best when everyone “gets it.”C.Just have a good time giving the speech and don’t mind your audience.D.That way, you can push the boundaries and make it amusing.E.People do get stage frights, but if you’re confident, then everything will go just fine.F. Read your speech out to someone trusted before giving itG. If you're at a private party, you won't need to be too concerned about using other people'smaterials.Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult ___61___ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.

No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.书面表达(满分25分）请阅读下面图画，按要求用英语写一篇词数为120左右的短文。
