英语高考模拟卷-沈阳市郊联体2015届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案

辽宁省沈阳市郊联体2015届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题卷I（共三部分，115分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThe Great Barn AdventureOne morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）.I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (竖井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home. 21. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.A. noticed a man on the elevatorB. opened the chained sliding doorC. saw many dead mice in the darkD. found a shaft leading to the top22. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?a. The elevator stopped halfway.b. He entered the round grain barn.c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.A. b-a-c-dB. a-c-b-dC. c-a-d-bD. b-c-a-d23. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.A. inspiredB. relievedC. surprisedD. disappointed24.From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.A. passionsB. dreamsC. curiosityD. imaginationBJust 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher, banker and doctor. Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. "Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor." He said.Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is "the bad influence of celebrity(名人)culture" that is to blame. "When children wanted to be doctor, it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is." She wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are "affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).""As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important' people in the world and finding ourselves wanting," he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called "active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.""The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement," he said.25. According to Emma Brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?A．Choices of future careers.B．Access to the global network.C．Bad influences of celebrities.D．Endless comparison with others.26. Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger?A．He is a newspaper reporterB．He is the spokesman of teenagers.C．He tells success stories on TV.D．He is against ranking people with wealth.27. Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should.A．seek active self-acceptanceB．stick to their own dreamsC．make great achievementsD．search for the secret of wealth28. The text is mainly written to .A．talk about job choicesB．analyse a social phenomenonC．encourage celebrity cultureD．introduce three famous peopleCWe have information about over 300 volunteering opportunities with more than 250 local organizations (charities, statutory organizations such as hospitals and social services and community groups).

Foranother, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, which can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control. Meanwhile, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.I do hope my suggestions will be taken.Yours,Li Hua哈尔滨师大附中东北师大附中辽宁省实验中学。

J．LANG，Associated PressShirley Temple Black，who died on February 10th at age 85，wasn‟t just a child star．She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression．It‟s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America‟s Little Darling”．She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes，Curly Top and Heidi．By 1940，she had appeared in 43 films．Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies，and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment．In the 1930s，her name on a movie introduction assured（保证）a packed house．She inspired dolls，dresses，dishes—even a drink（alcohol-free，of course）．US President Franklin D．Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our c ountry has Shirley Temple，we will be all right．”Unlike so many of today‟s child stars，Temple didn‟t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors．Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol，Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy（外交），including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana．She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace，knowledge and eagerness to serve．In fact，her career in public servicewas longer than her career in movies（19）．The role she valued most，however，was as wife，mother，grandmother and great-grandmother．The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend．But her movies will allow that littledynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time．1．The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______．A．shorten B．sweeten C．strengthen D．brighten2．Temple，as a child movie star，can best be described as _______．A．sweet and livelyB．gentle and kindC．smart and knowledgeableD．shy and attractive3．What part did she regard as the most important in her life？A．A top movie star．B．A businesswoman．C．Her family role．D．Her diplomacy career．4．Where does this passage possibly come from？A．A biography B．A newspaper C．A magazine D．A poster3.While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things，they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground，hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza．Though not much can be done about the first two things，there may soon be a solution to the third one，thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer！About a year ago，NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor，a 3-D technology expert，to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand．The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked，tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens．Late last year，the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time．Then comes the tomato “sauce” —a mix of tomato powder，oil and water and finally，a protein slice that resembles cheese．While the video doesn‟t s how the baking process，the inventor says that once the pizza is printed，it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds．While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover，Anjan Contractoris far from ready for astronauts．That‟s bec ause he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years．Though that may sound unrealistic，actually it is not．Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form．This，as you can imagine，will not be so easy．But，while the printer may not be ready for space，it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth．Hopefully，NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars！1．Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do？A．To ask us not to take common things for granted．B．To show they live a difficult life there．C．To show their life is boring in space．D．To introduce the topic of the text．2．NASA offered $ 125，000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______．A．create some new type of 3-D printerB．attract more companies to work for NASAC．help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD．produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits3．The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______．A．he has no money left to go on with his researchB．the pizza doesn‟t seem appetizing to pizza loversC．he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD．he cannot make the food container last for decades4．What‟s the best title of the passage？A．NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB．Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC．NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD．A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza4.More than great

garden，havea picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside．The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk．When joggers jog，they don‟t run the streets．Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river．But despite this，our children are growing up nature deprived（剥夺）．I spent my boyhood climbing trees．These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found．The truth is to be found elsewhere．A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（多动症）．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%．ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood．One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children．However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places．The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature．The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years．And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality．Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world．We need the wild world．It is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness．1．According to the author，people enjoy _______ to seek nature．A．jogging on the streetB．sitting in the gardenC．shopping in the supermarketD．running in the gym2．From the second paragraph，we can see that _______．A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach natureB．climbing trees will certainly do good to the childrenC．children probably spend less time in nature

M: How do Jane and Bill like their new home?W: It’s really very nice, but they are tired of the noise of the planes going over their house.6. M: Julia, I want to have an English name. You know, my Chinese name is difficult topronounce and some foreign friends can’t write my name out. Can you give me some advice?W: Why not just stick to your Chinese name? Any name can be written in the English alphabet, so you don’t really need to have an English name!M: To be honest, some English names that people choose are rather strange, which are never used as names.W: In fact, you should demand that all your colleagues call you by your Chinese name. After all, it is a name with a lot of meaning and something that your parents have chosen for you with a lot of care!7. M: Is this a picture of all your family members?W: Right, it was taken 13 years ago.M: You and your father are much alike.W: Thanks. But he has passed away.M: What a pity!

She lives at 1645 Jefferson Street.M: Now, what happened exactly? Tell me in your own words.W: Well, I was driving along Jefferson Street. I wasn’t going fast at all. I saw that car. It was backing out of the driveway. It was Mrs. Crouton. She didn’t stop at all. She backed right into me.M: Very well. Now I need to look at your car. Where is it?W: It’s at Walt’s garage. That’s on Jefferson and Vine Streets. I’ll go along with you.M: Okay, fine. Let’s go, Mrs. Morris.9. M: So Maria, what can you tell us about your plans for the future?W: Well, I’ve been considering taking a year out after I graduate. You know, maybe travel around the world and see some different countries.M: What do you hope to gain from traveling?W: It will give me a chance to experience different cultures first-hand rather than read about them in a book. But I also think that the experience I gain will help me find a good job when I come back.M: Can you explain why you think traveling will help you find a job?W: Well, the way I see it, the modern business environment is changing. Therefore, to be successful in one’s life, it is important to be able to accept changes. You should be willing to change your attitudes, and even working habits to suit the ever-changing environment.M: Er… It sounds reasonable.W: I also believe that traveling will teach me to be independent, as well as to value other people.M: Why do you believe traveling will help you to value other people?W: As you know, when you’re travelling you can’t get help from your family, so you have to depend on your friends, or even turn to unknown people.M: Oh, I see. You’re right, Maria.10. I have really enjoyed my job, especially as it was my first suitable job in the UK. I had been working as a chef and kitchen porter before this but this is the suitable work. I found it through the Internet.The job has given me confidence with English computer terms and working with English people. They are quite different here to the people in Spain. People in England are much more logical. I already had a good knowledge of computers before my job, but I learnt a lot about the way that business works here. It’s always good to show that I’ve worked abroad in a company related to what I’ve been studying.It was nice that the atmosphere was relaxed. In Spain, you always have to wear a shirt to any computer job, but it’s not the same in English companies. If I had to give advice for you, I would say you should meet as many people as possible. I came here partly to learn English, but at first, the only people I met were Spanish people! Mixing with English people has made such a difference to my experience here.第I卷（选择题，共115分）第一部分听力理解1-5 AACCC 6-10 BCBAB 11-15 BCBAB 16-20 BBBAB第二部分英语知识运用第一节单项填空21-25 ADCDC 26-30 DBBAC 31-35 ABCDA第二节完形填空36-40 DBACC 41-45 ADCAB 46-50 DABCB 51-55 CBCDA第三部分阅读理解第一节A篇56-59 DCDA B篇60-63 ADBC C篇64-66 AAD D篇67-70 BBAC第二节71-75 D A C E B第II卷（非选择题，共35分）第四部分写作第一节短文改错Once, a man got on a bus to New York.

It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill.

Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions.

Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of light as this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text.Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques — such as making notes from your reading — to aid your concentration.If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material. Then you should take a more active approach. Enter into a 14 with the text, pausing to reflect on what you read, and 15 what you find. That will be good for reading and comprehension.

I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my c ar. "We are the Brother‟s of the Wheel", he said. "We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children." As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My goodmood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.56.

On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson, Her son Alston Clark thinks his experience is very valuable.“I like coming out here,”he says,“You know, you connect with the earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little b it more.”Margaret Morgan started Eco City Farms. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. “Growing food in a community brings people together,”she continues,“Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have an eco-friendly community.”she say.

In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on.Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表现出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consists of recognizing and selecting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather easily.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too come ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited.68. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses______.A. in order to distinguish themselves from othersB. in order to better recognize other peopleC. as their mental processes changeD. as the situation changes69. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, “it” refers to “___”A. constant mental processB. selecting one‟s own statusesC. recognition of other people‟s statusesD. fitting our actions to those of other properly70. What can be the best title for this text?A. Proper Relations.B. Limited Choices.C. Judgment of Statuses.D. Comparison of Clothes.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Sharks have lived in the world's oceans for millions of years. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. 71Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. 72 Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty yearsold. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.73 They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased greatly because many parts of a shark are valuable. 74 Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth 75 if too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of shark may never return to normal population levels.A.

It is three years when I became a high schooldoesn’t sincestudent. Looking back on the progresses that I have made so far, I really appreciateprogressfor your support. I know that without your properly guidance, I would not have doneproperso well.However, what still makes me puzzling is how to make my dream to go to thepuzzled atop university come true. Please continue to lend I a hand. I really need your help.meKate书面表达（25分）One possible version：1）Nowadays we can still see some behaviors against public morals. People often complain that they see some people jump in the queue, disturbing the harmony of society, and to be worse, chairs meant /intended for children and seniors are occupied by the young. It is high time that we should take actions to improve public morals.Firstly, government should make it a rule that people will get fined or punished if caught behaving against public morals. Additionally, it makes sense that schools should take on the duty to give students lessons on how to be a qualified citizen. Last but not the least, only by setting some examples can people learn how to behave decently from people around.All in all, it owes to the majority’s support that we can live in a peaceful and harmonious neighborhood. Don’t hesitate to get rid of your own improper behaviors.2）Nowadays we can still see some behaviors against public morals. Every now and then, we find some people spitting, littering or talking loudly in public places, which makes others annoyed. Also it is really shameful that some travelers damage historic relics at random. Even some people violate the law just for their personal interests.In my opinion, not only should education on public morals be offered, but effective laws andregulations should be established and strictly carried out to guarantee the rights of the majority. Of course, we individuals should show self control, attach importance to good manners ,and be willing to offer help whenever it is needed.Let’s join our hands in building a healthy and harmonious society. I’m sure your contribution will make a difference.听力原文:Text 1M: I’ll have the steak, French fries and chocolate ice cream for dessert.W: Oh, no, you know these things are bad for your health.

She’d even spent a whole weekend at Aunt Jolie and Uncle Ed’s. So what happened to her?No breakfast today, she thought, imagining the ache turning into throwing up and a horrible road trip after a full meal. As usual, Maria felt hungry as soon as the room smelled of French toast. On the other hand, maybe a good breakfast was exactly what she needed.“There’s my big camper!’’ said her mom. Then, she walked to the stove, placed two pieces of French toast on a plate and powdered sugar snowing down. “Just like you like it. ’’ At the meanwhile, Maria was already in position, armed with knife, fork, napkin and full glass of milk.‘‘Get started while it’s hot. Your father’s coming down in a minute. I told him to shave. Don’t want the bear—I mean, the bushy black beard.“Okay，okay，” Maria’s dad said with a smile. “Clean as a whistle. Just like you ordered.”“Really?” Maria’s mom shrugged (耸肩).“I think it’s fashionable,” Maria said, dipping a bite in some syrup (糖桨).“Well, your old man is fashionable,” her dad said, moving his head the way he did when he wanted to look like a cool surfer man but looked more like an Egyptian robot. “In fact, I was the most popular kid at my camp.”“For the record, it was a science camp,”Maria’s mother reminded her, looking her straight in the eyes. “In all seriousness, Maria, popularity i s not important and finding the people who like you for you—that’s what matters.”“Your mom speaks the truth, Sugar,” said Maria’s dad，wiping his thick beard with a napkin. “Just be yourself. You’ 11 definitely enjoy it.哈尔滨师大附中东北师大附中辽宁省实验中学24. What probably led to Maria’s he sitation to eat breakfast?A. The lack of adequate nutrition.B. The concern about feeling sick.C.

One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿）to taking an Uber instead of a bus.On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase,’’ said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (外包）that task，” said Whillans, “or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way.’’28. In the Canadian experiment, the participants _____.A. were divided into two groupsB. were given $ 40 every two weeksC. were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kidD. were asked to spend the money in different ways29. According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A. Paying much for a concert ticket.B. Taking a regular bus to get to work.C. Employing someone to clean the garden.D. Buying themselves an expensive present.30. When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, _____.A. no people would like to do itB. a small percentage of people choose to do itC. more people will do it if extra money is givenD. most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life31. What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The good old-fashioned guilt.B. The feeling of spending money on goods.C. The stress of having someone clean your house.D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.DWe Brits love the idea of a real Christmas tree—but not so many of us like the realities of dragging a 7ft Norway Spruce through the house and leaving needles all over the place.If you count yourself among the reluctant group, then it may be time to go fake (假的). After all, buying an artificial Christmas tree needn’t mean accepting defeat. There’s a huge range of options and sizes, including pre-lit trees, which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights.Another big bonus of choosing an artificial Christmas tree is cost: artificial trees can last for decades, so they work out cheaper than paying for a real tree every year. Like now retailers (零售商) are offering great deals at the moment: at Tesco, there’s 25 percent off artificial Christmas trees. Meanwhile, you can take advantage of the current 3 for 2 offer at Argos to fill your house with not one, not two, but three. You may perhaps partner up with friends who are also looking to invest.Of course, keep your tree for years and years and it will start to pay you back in terms of carbon footprint; however, a “real” one will always have to be transported, used and dealt with every year.Are there any downsides? Yes. You might think you, re saving the planet, but a fake tree is actually not an environmentally friendly option. Most are made in factories in Asia, resulting in some serious air miles t o reach the UK. They’ re made from metal and plastic, and many end their lives in landfill.Another problem with a fake tree is that they don’t look very natural—and of course you won’t get that lovely pine smell either. You’11 also need to find space for storage.32. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Passive.B. Related.C. Unwilling.D. Supportive.33. Which is the benefit of buying an artificial Christmas tree?A. Abundant choices.B. The lovely pine smell.C. Cheaper than a real one.D. Free for transportation.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fake Christmas trees are environmentally friendly.B. British people like to drag a real Christmas tree home.C. People need to find space to store a fake Christmas tree.D. People may get 3 more if they buy two fake Christmas trees.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Different reasons for choosing fake Christmas trees.B. Valuable suggestions on choosing fake Christmas trees.C. Efficient ways of saving money on choosing Christmas trees.D. Advantages and disadvantages of choosing fake Christmas trees.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。

ARaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home. Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice. “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads, I also felt less than valued t hat my father didn’t seem concern ed about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop. I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (篱笆) the driveway that climb the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew that each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocentl y in his chair “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes. Dad, it’s me I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph I mean?A. admitted readilyB. whisper carelessly.C. explained clearlyD. spoke unhappily.22. What made the author feel bothered?A. The tiredness after long hours in labsB. The fear of walking home by himselfC. The feeling of being less than valuedD. The loneliness of riding the bus home23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he felt concern ed about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he wanted to meet his son at the doorwayD. he thought his son was too young to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s SecretB. The Hedge Around MeC. Terrible Journey HomeD. Riding Bus AlongBI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation, and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would at have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25.
