高考通关卷2016年新课标全国高考英语模拟试题(四)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。
ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do－it－yourself, father－and－son adventure，” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30，000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2，000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)．”21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________．A．collecting money on the InternetB．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________．A．cheap and commonB．strange and valuableC．personal and lovelyD．basic and solid24．What's the best title for the text?A．A DIY Enthusiast B．A Helping HandC．A Great Adventure D．A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25．Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________．A．sad B．surprisedC．nervous D．disappointed26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A．He should try to find its owner.B．He could wear it for Halloween.C．He should return it to West Point.D．He could send it to others for free.27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________．A．the jacket was made thereB．the jacket's owner worked thereC．the workers there needed the jacketD．the jacket might be collected by the museum28．According to the text, Kim McDermott ________．A．happened to be the owner of the jacketB．was a student graduating from West PointC．could find a record of the graduatesD．was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson，” said Mr.Smith，“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry，—but you'll have to go.” “But，sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that！” said the boss.“Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know，sir.But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then，suddenly，he said，“We've got to close your department，Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out，with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read：I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人)．But don't worry about me，Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son，Herbie 29．Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________．A．Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB．Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC．Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD．Watson's department didn't earn money that year30．We can learn from the text that ________．A．Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB．Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC．Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD．Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31．According to the text，which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for t hese kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider－Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，” he told TFK.33．What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?A．To donate books to libraries and schools.B．To encourage students to use the library.C．To excite children's interest in reading.D．To introduce some new comic books.34．By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Parag raph 3, Drake Bell means ________．A．comic books make kids imaginative and interestedB．there are colorful pictures in most comic booksC．common books with only words are bad for kidsD．comic books are much better than common books35．Who stressed the benefit of reading?A．Drake Bell.

2016高三英语模拟卷新课标全国卷
2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

( A )A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “Mind the gap” announcement、The Underground,or the tube,first opened in 1863,tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow,Margaret McCollum,told them what it meant to her、McCollum,65,said she used to frequently visit Embankmenl tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice,even before his death、She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice、“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned(试音)for the tube recording、He went on to become a theater actor and then worked for a tour company、For six years after his death,I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,”she added、When Margaret approached the tube,she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore、Nigel Holness,director of London Underground,said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep、“ Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added、“It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year、The tube’s Mind the gap messages,voiced by various actors,have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s、Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that、”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,”Margaret said、“He was a great London transport user all his life、He would be amused,touched and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged、”21、The best title for the passage is 、A、Mind Your StepB、Mind Your GapC、A Widow’s WishD、The Tube’s Struggle22、The underlined phrase “taken aback” means 、A、disappointedB、amazedC、excitedD、shocked23、Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the passage? ( )a、Oswald died、b、Margaret approached the tube、c、Oswald auditioned for the tube recording、d、Oswald graduated from a drama school、e、Oswald’s recording was replaced、A、d-c-a-e-bB、d-c-b-e-aC、c-d-a-b-eD、e-d-a-b-c24、What can we infer from the passage?( )A、Oswald was an outstanding actor in London、B、Oswald’s voice is a great comfort to Margaret、C、No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice、D、The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers、( B )In the past,teachers were limited to what they could do when it came to how they could present lesson plans and information to their pupils、Commonly they would stand in front of a podium and lecture to students about the lesson of the day、Sometimes a teacher might write something on the board,maybe even have students read out loud from a book,yet that would be it、Basically in the past,there was not much interaction(交流) going on between the teacher and the students、Now,teachers have all sorts of choices when it comes to how they can teach their students and it could not have come any sooner、One is actually a whiteboard that is interactive、So not only can teachers display things for their students to see in colour,but teachers can also change up what is being displayed on the screen through the use of a wireless device that is typically in the shape of a pen or laser pointer、To change what is being displayed on the screen,all the teacher has to do is point at the screen using the device and just like that,things are moving、No longer are lesson plans stagnant,but they come to life right before the students’eyes、Another is a touch pad screen where teachers can actually walk around the room to teach their students、The screens themselves are similar to other name brand touch screens that are almost like small computers、They are extremely handy and perfect for situations where the teacher likes to get up and get going、Along with that,SmartEd Services is a portable audio device that allows teachers to amplify (扩大)what is being said to students、If you want to know more,an easy way to check into all the options that are out there is to simply do some searching online、25、There used not to be much communication in class probably because 、A、the teachers had limited knowledgeB、the students liked reading aloudC、teaching technology was backwardD、teaching

interestingB、the traditional teaching methods should be given upC、the teachers should get on well with their studentsD、modern science and technology bring us a happy life( C )From the 007 series to Iron Man,cool gadgets(装备)like smart watches and high-tech glasses impress audiences、Now the real world is welcoming them、The world of wearable technology is quietly growing,and it’s planning to take over、Let’s look at some of the gadgets to look out for、HeadwearReading on a bus or while you’re running often makes you dizzy(眩晕的)、But with a small wearable device called Run-n-Read,you won’t feel dizzy any more、You can wear it on your headband or your T-shirt、It tracks(追踪) your head movements and then moves the text on the screen of your iPad or other reading device at the same time as your eyes、Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down,for you the text looks perfectly still、Your head moves,but the words do not、BraceletsWearing a sensory bracelet (手镯) can help you find out where you’ve run,how many calories you’ve burned,how deep your sleep was,and many more things、A few companies have already been producing great fitness tracking devices for some time、But it seems that FitBit will get the most attention in 2015 with its new bracelets,the FitBit Surge、The Surge has an LED touch display screen、This allows you to control your smartphone and see who is calling or messaging you、It also has eight different sensors(感应元件) and can record many different sporting activities、ShoesIf you’ve ever got tired of looking at your smartphone frequently for directions when visiting a place,you might want to try Lechal smart shoes、The shoes work by using Bluetooth to connect to a phone App、After you’ve entered the destination you want to go to on your

year、D、The Surge will take control of one’s activities、32、How can people know the directions in the future?( )A、By using the smartphone、B、By using the traffic mapC、By using either of your feet、D、By using special shoes、( D )Melbourne,AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination,and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life、Why it’s a great choice:Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel,and because of that,many solo travelers go there、As an English-speaking country,you won’t be faced with any language barriers、Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets,which promote equality among the sexes、Why it’s a great choice:Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere,and as a travel hot-spot,there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers、Well known for being very cheap,especially in the north、A good choice if you want to get away on a budget、Thailand has a lot to offer,from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带) jungle、Hong Kong,ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes、Why it’s a great choice:Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world、If you’re not well-traveled,or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers,Hong Kong is a great place to start,as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time、Bali,IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches、The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction、Why it’s so great:You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali、Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way、As a Hindu island,Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修)、The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys,anyway、33、Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and beautiful beaches?( )A.Melbourne,Australia、 B、Thailand、C、Hong Kong,China、 D.Bali,Indonesia、34、What has made Bali Indonesia No、1 tourist attraction?( )A、Yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches、B、Friendly

(AThe Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna,our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America.You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.The cost of your flight is included in the holiday,and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus.On your arriving,our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel.All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront,and many rooms have wonderful ocean views.If swimming and surfing are not enough for you,the hotel also offers horse rides on the island,and a discount membership of the golf club.The Rain Forest Adventure HolidayEvery year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.You may have a choice of Borneo,Malaysia,Indonesia,or even to the greatest rain forest of them all,the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest,where you will be given five days of survival training,and talks on the local wildlife.Then you take a bus into the forest.You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology.All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children.Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time,so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays,you will need to book early!21.What can we learn about the rain forest holiday?()A.Travelers will learn to talk with wild animals.B.Different means of transportation will be used.C.The holiday will end with a survival training.D.Bookingearly,travelers will get a discount.22.What kind of people will probably choose the rain forest holiday?()A.People loving water sports.B.People travelling with children.C.People preferring comfortable hotels.D.People concerned with environment and wildlife.23.Which of the following is mentioned in both holidays?()A.Transportation.B.Price.C.Reservation.D.Departure time.BMany people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born either smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds afte r working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say,“Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practi ce and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy.The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment,with other animals and toys t o play with,were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.24.What’s the main idea of the passage?()A.Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is.B.A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle.C.Both muscles and the brain are important to humans.D.Intelligence exists in both humans and animals.25.By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to prove that .A.exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB.exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC.everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD.everyone should learn as many new things as possible26.Like stronger muscles come from exercise,smarter brains need .A.to be well taken care ofB.a good communication between personsC.help from scientistsD.our learning new things27.What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean?()A.Strong.B.Smart.C.Lovely.D.Active.CSeveral years ago I was diagnosed with cancer.It was the most difficult time I have ever faced.I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全).Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗),I lost all of my hair,being bald as a golf ball.I always had enjoyed wearing hats,so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached.It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan.At one point during my cancer treatments,my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip to Scottsdale,Arizona.There was a Senior PGA Tour event called “The Tradition” being played,and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd.It was a beautiful day,and I was in heaven.I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区):Jack Nicklaus,Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.Just as they arrived at the tee,the unimaginable happened.A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway(平坦球道)!The thousands of people lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence,all eyes on me.Even my three favorite golfers were watching me,as my hair was in their flight path.I was ashamed! Embarrassed as I was,I knew I couldn’t just stand there.Someone had to do something to get things moving again.So I took a deep breath and out into the middle of the fairway.I took hold of my hat and hair,put them back on my head as best I could.Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced,“Gentlemen,the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.28.What made the author remain mentally healthy even in her illness?()A.The Tradition.B.The treatment.C.Her family.D.Her humor.29.The underlined phrase in Para.3 “in heaven” probably means “”.A.scaredB.embarrassedC.puzzledD.excited30.Why did the author go into the fairway to pick up her hat and hair?()A.To amuse the golfers.B.To give a weather report.C.To have the game restarted.D.To draw others’ attention.31.We can know from the text that the author .A.was fond of wearing hatsB.was an excellent golferC.planned to live in ScottsdaleD.felt worried about her hairDTeens naturally ask parents for money for material things and entertainment.But as the need becomes more frequent,why not get a job so you can earn your own money? Working for your own money will give you a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a job well done.Babysitting is a suitable job for teens.They are best suited as a mother’s helper while the mother is working in another part of the house.Babysitting is not a job for girls alone.Boy babysitters are popular with families of boys.Parents rely on friends and neighbors’ recommendations.Word of mouth is your best form of advertising.Pet-sitting involves caring for people’s pets while the owners are on vacatio n or away for the day.A pet-sitter will be responsible for giving fresh food and water,walking dogs and cleaning out cat litter boxes.Although the pet-sitter does not spend the night,he is there often enough to bring in the mail,water plants and take the garbage out.Create a flyer with your name,prices and references,and pass it out to the families in your neighborhood.Yard work can be a seasonal job.Spring cleanup is needed for flower beds and preparing the yard for summer.Summer is the busiest time for yard work with lawn mowing (割草坪),edging and trimming(修剪) bushes.Fall is the time for sweeping leaves and planting seeds for spring.If you live in a northern climate,there may be snow that needs shoveling.Odd jobs can mean a variety of things,includingpainting,washing the pet,weeding the garden,cleaning out the basement,or helping to serve dinner at a party.Doing odd jobs may be a good match for someone with a busy schedule.Most odd jobs only take a few hours to complete.For more information,please click here.32.What’s the main purpose of the text?()A.To show teens how to find a full-time job.B.To encourage teens to help with housework.C.To tell teens ways to earn their own money.D.To ask people to provide jobs for teens.33.What can we learn about babysitting?()A.Babysitting is the best job for teens.B.A babysitter is needed only when the mother is away.C.Parents prefer girl babysitters to boy babysitters.D.Friends or neighbors may be helpful to find a babysitting job.34.A pet-sitter is expected to do all the jobs except .A.feeding and walking a dogB.looking after the house at nightC.bringing in the mailD.taking the garbage out35.The text is most probably taken from a .A.job applicationB.popular magazineC.life websiteD.tourist guidebook第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

( A )A widow’s wish to hear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “Mind the gap” announcement.The Underground,or the tube,first opened in 1863,tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow,Margaret McCollum,told them what it meant to her.McCollum,65,said she used to frequently visit Embankmenl tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice,even before his death.She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned(试音)for the tube recording.He went on to become a theater actor and then worked for a tour company.For six years after his death,I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,”she added.When Margaret approached the tube,she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness,director of London Underground,said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep.“ Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added.“It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.The tube’s Mind the gap messages,voiced by various actors,have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s.Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,”Margaret said.“He was a great London transport user all his life.He would be amused,touched and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged.”21.The best title for the passage is .A.Mind Your StepB.Mind Your GapC.A Widow’s WishD.The Tube’s Struggle22.The underlined phrase “taken aback” means .A.disappointedB.amazedC.excitedD.shocked23.Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the passage? ( )a.Oswald died.b.Margaret approached the tube.c.Oswald auditioned for the tube recording.d.Oswald graduated from a drama school.e.Oswald’s recording was replaced.A.d-c-a-e-bB.d-c-b-e-aC.c-d-a-b-eD.e-d-a-b-c24.What can we infer from the passage?( )A.Oswald was an outstanding actor in London.B.Oswald’s voice is a great comfort to Margaret.C.No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D.The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.( B )In the past,teachers were limited to what they could do when it came to how they could present lesson plans and information to their monly they would stand in front of a podium and lecture to students about the lesson of the day.Sometimes a teacher might write something on the board,maybe even have students read out loud from a book,yet that would be it.Basically in the past,there was not much interaction(交流) going on between the teacher and the students.Now,teachers have all sorts of choices when it comes to how they can teach their students and it could not have come any sooner.One is actually a whiteboard that is interactive.So not only can teachers display things for their students to see in colour,but teachers can also change up what is being displayed on the screen through the use of a wireless device that is typically in the shape of a pen or laser pointer.To change what is being displayed on the screen,all the teacher has to do is point at the screen using the device and just like that,things are moving.No longer are lesson plans stagnant,but they come to life right before the students’ eyes.Another is a touch pad screen where teachers can actually walk around the room to teach their students.The screens themselves are similar to other name brand touch screens that are almost like small computers.They are extremely handy and perfect for situations where the teacher likes to get up and get going.Along with that,SmartEd Services is a portable audio device that allows teachers to amplify (扩大)what is being said to students.If you want to know more,an easy way to check into all the options that are out there is to simply do some searching online.25.There used not to be much communication in class probably because .A.the teachers had limited knowledgeB.the students liked reading aloudC.teaching technology was backwardD.teaching materials were too difficult26.The underlined word “stagnant” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.practicalB.inactiveC.fluentD.necessary27.SmartEd Services is a kind of device that .A.follows the teacher in the classroomB.makes the teacher’s voice louderC.helps the students understand betterD.makes the class more interesting28.According to the author .A.technology can make class practical and interestingB.the traditional teaching methods should be given upC.the teachers should get on well with their studentsD.modern science and technology bring us a happy life( C )From the 007 series to Iron Man,cool gadgets(装备)like smart watches and high-tech glasses impress audiences.Now the real world is welcoming them.The world of wearable technology is quietly growing,and it’s planning to take over.Let’s look at some of the gadgets to look out for.HeadwearReading on a bus or while you’re running often makes you dizzy(眩晕的).But with a small wearable device called Run-n-Read,you won’t feel dizzy any more.You can wear it on your headband or your T-shirt.It tracks(追踪) your head movements and then moves the text on the screen of your iPad or other reading device at the same time as your eyes.Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down,for you the text looks perfectly still.Your head moves,but the words do not.BraceletsWearing a sensory bracelet (手镯) can help you find out where you’ve run,how many calories you’ve burned,how deep your sleep was,and many more things.A few companies have already been producing great fitness tracking devices for some time.But it seems that FitBit will get the most attention in 2015 with its new bracelets,the FitBit Surge.The Surge has an LED touch display screen.This allows you to control your smartphone and see who is calling or messaging you.It also has eight different sensors(感应元件) and can record many different sporting activities.ShoesIf you’ve ever got tired of looking at your smartphone frequently for directions when visiting a place,you might want to try Lechal smart shoes.The shoes work by using Bluetooth to connect to a phone App.After you’ve entered the destination you want to go to on your phone,the shoes direct you by vibrating(振动)either the left or right foot to tell you which way you should turn.29.From the text we know that the high-tech gadgets .A.only appear in the moviesB.can be used by common peopleC.are very expensiveD.have taken over everything30.When you wear a headwear, .A.you often move your headB.the words on the screen don’t moveC.it makes you feel dizzyD.you see the words jumping up and down31.What can we learn about Bracelets?( )A.Wearing bracelets can help find everything.B.People have used the new sensory bracelets.C.FitBit will attract the most attention this year.D.The Surge will take control of one’s activities.32.How can people know the directions in the future?( )A.By using the smartphone.B.By using the traffic mapC.By using either of your feet.D.By using special shoes.( D )Melbourne,AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination,and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice:Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel,and because of that,many solo travelers go there.As an English-speaking country,you won’t be faced with any language barriers.Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets,which promote equality among the sexes.Why it’s a great choice:Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere,and as a travel hot-spot,there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers.Well known for being very cheap,especially in the north.A good choice if you want to get away on a budget.Thailand has a lot to offer,from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带) jungle.Hong Kong,ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.Why it’s a great choice:Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world.If you’re not well-traveled,or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers,Hong Kong is a great place to start,as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.Bali,IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches.The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction.Why it’s so great:You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali.Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way.As a Hindu island,Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修).The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys,anyway.33.Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and beautiful beaches?( )A.Melbourne,Australia.B.Thailand.C.Hong Kong,China.D.Bali,Indonesia.34.What has made Bali Indonesia No.1 tourist attraction?( )A.Yoga,spas,healthy food and beaches.B.Friendly people and splendidly visual culture.C.Meeting some amazing characters along the way.D.Fantastic monkeys in the Sacred Monkey Forest.35.What type of writing is this text?( )A.A travel journal.B.A business report.C.A travel guide.D.A press advertisement.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2016年6月大学英语四级模拟试卷及答案
2016年6⽉⼤学英语四级模拟试卷及答案 Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by so me questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Some radio singals were heard in 1967.They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star.They were coming very regularly,too:about once a second,if they were controlled by clock. The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people.The signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger,perhaps than the earth.Was that why no light could be seen from it?Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star?There was no end to the questions,but the scientists kept the news secret.“Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets,or to us?So the news was not given to the newspaper.Instead,the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them...Well,all that happened in 1967 and 1968.Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange,regular,radio signals.And they have told the story,of course. The signals do not come from a planet;they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar””.About a hundred other pulsars have now been found,and most of them are very like the first one. Pulsars are strong radio stars.They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present.A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons.Their light—if they give much light—is too small for us to see.But we can be sure of this,no intelligent beings are living on them. 21. The radio signals discussed in this passage____.A.were regularB.were controlled by a clockC.were heard in 1967 onlyD.were secret messages 22. The radio singals were sent by____.A.a satelliteB.a planet C.a sky body which was unknown at that time D.intelligent beings who were unknown at that time 23. The scientists did not tell people about the signals because____. A.the singals stood for secret messages B.people would ask them too many questions C.they did not want to frighten people D.they stood for unimportant messages 24. A pulsar is____. A. a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen B. a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen C. a small heavy satellite which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen D. a small intelligent being who sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen 25. Which of the following is true? A.One of the pulsars found by scientists sends radio signals. B.Pulsar began to send radio singals in 1967. C.Scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none. D.Scientists have found many pulsars since 1967. rn life and ancient life. 27. “one out of seven” refers to____. A.more than a third of the lands' earth B.the percentage of the earth's land that is desert-like C.the number of people who live in dry regions D.a day of a week 28. In paragraph 2,“they are taken to the greener lands in the south.”They refers to____.A.the Sahel farm landB.the farmersC.the cattlesD.the trees 29. How many ideas for saving the land are described?A.Five.B.Two.C.Four.D.Three. 30. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? A.The earth's desert are slowly spreading. B.One out of 10 people lives in dry regions. C.Their life in the desert is threatened now by traditional problems. D.New water wells can solve the problem in Africa's desert. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people,the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past,communication took much time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today. 31. News spreads fast because of____.A.modern transportationB.new technologyC.the change of the worldD.a peace agreement 32. According to this passage,____is very important to people in a disaster area.A.fast communicationB.modern technologytest newsD.new ideas 33. Which of the following statements is true? A.The world now seems smaller because of faster communication. B.The world is actually smaller today. C.The world is changing its size. D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812 34. Two hundred years ago,news between the continents was carried____.A.by telephone and telegraphB.by landC.by airD.by sea 35. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed____.A.by both sidesB.in timeC.in AmericaD.in England Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one.An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society.[ZZ)]The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health.If we so desire,we can smoke,drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts,eat whatever foods we want,and live a completely sedentary life-style without any excuse.The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society,although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned.Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty.As one example,a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors,both inherited and environmental,influence the development of heal threlated behaviors,and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.However,the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices.In discussing the moral of personal choice,Fries and Crapo drew a comparison.[ZZ(Z]They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.[ZZ)]Thus,for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life,personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 36. The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because____.
