2016年山东省威海市高三一模考试英语试题含答案第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have.I mean,he had a head,two arms and two legs,just like the rest of us.About nine o’clock on Satu rday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers,one of the older boys,what it was that made this Elvis guy so special.He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret,then that’s what I was going to get.A11 the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop,where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿).I looked at the barber and said,―I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?‖I asked him,with a big smile on my face.―Let's just see what we c an do for you,little man,‖he said.I was so happy when he started to cut my hair.Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing.She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head,like he was telling her ―No‖.Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.21.In the author’s eyes,Elvis Presley was_________.A.disgusting B.admirable C.ambitious D.dynamic22.From the passage,we can know that______________.1A.Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB.An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC.The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD.The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23.We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______.A.excited to have an Elvis hair cutB.worried to think about the secretC.anxious to remove the ton of bricksD.careful to seize the chance24.How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop?A.Delighted.B.Guilty.C.Self-satisfied.D.Depressed.BIt is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the ―handathon‖ contest is the person who ca n carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act ofserious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.2Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by ―getting lots of sleep‖. Others say they will―eat healthy food‖ or ―pray for success‖. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.25. The reason why the sport is called ―handathon‖ is that competitors.A. cover a long distanceB. keep one hand in place for longC. wave hands as long as possibleD. do the same thing as in a marathon26. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?A. Standing without any support.B. Not leaning on the car.C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.D. Having strong powers of attention.27. Why is handathon popular?A. Someone can win with special training.B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.3C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.D. People get along well with each other in it.28. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right?A. The person who takes part in it should stand still.B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.D. Handathons are competitions, so competitors don’t encourage each other.CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.―I felt like I had gone to another planet,‖ Cameron said after ret urning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. ―I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.‖Cameron captured(获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. Th e movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first per son to travel alone to the deepest4point on the planet.It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet s till has a lot to explore. 29.When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?A. When he was in his childhood.B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.C. After he achieved great success in movies.D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.30.What is the reality about unexplored ocean?A. Colorful and dangerous.B. Boring and deserted.C. White and attractive.D. Small and dull.31.What can we know about James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D?A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.B. It is a stor y about Cameron’s film-making dream.C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.D. It tells us about James’ journey into Challenger Deep.32.What is the best title for this passage?A. The great dream of a film directorB. A film director exploring deep seaC. James Cameron and his documentary filmD. The first person to make films about the deep sea5DNearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster.Recently,a 100-year-ol d Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15 minutes and 54 seconds.By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17 years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25 records.But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn’t looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.33.The underlined word ―centenarian‖refers to someone who is____.A.from Japan B.100 or olderC.an old competitor D. a new swimmer634.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.some people are born with longevity genesB.people who like swimming live longerC.the Japanese are interested in swimmingD.woman usually live much longer than men35.Which can best explain the spirit of Ms.Nagaoka?A.Not to advance is to go back.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Keep on going,never give up.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.37 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave7everything else in the hands of God.It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.D. The next time you fell depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.第三部分第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)There Really Was a Santa ClausAnn worked for a big company.

2016届高三上学期期中考试英语试题

2015-2016学年度上学期考试第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)AWho’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions allthe time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.

Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of theInternet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.28.Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.D. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.29.The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear30.Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all citiesB. App-based car rental is functional to some degreeC. The government should regulate the app-based car rental marketD. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company31.we can learn from the passage that _____.A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companiesB. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheC. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-basedcar rental companiesD. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegalDGenerally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stoppedbecause 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better r esolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.32.What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.33.What can we infer from t he phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town. 34.What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?A. He remains silent about them.B. He gives strong backing to them.C. He objects to them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.D. The government is going to change the environmental decree.第二节七选五 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0分)A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.

英语试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clear ly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.21. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.A. to get close to a butterflyB. to escape a sudden attackC. to look over the bad situationD. to avoid getting his shoes dirty22. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurtB. paused until the author took a step backwardsC. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mateD. attacked the author for his mate’s safety and to accompany her for the last moments oflife23. From this experience the man learned_____.A. butterflies are brave insectsB. the small can defeat the largeC. how to deal with challenges in his lifeD. people should try their best to fight for everything24. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. amusingB. ambitiousC. courageousD. aggressiveBIt was the end of my first senior year. I was riding with my friends, and a bottle of beer was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back t o his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation (缓刑) for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.25. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author didn’t remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friends.B. The author felt just one mouthful would not affect her driving.C. The author wished she had refused to drink that night.D. The author lost her driving license on the way.26. What did the policeman ask the author to do at the stop sign?a. Show her driving license.b. Walk in a straight line.c. Stand on her head.d. Stand on one foot for 30 seconds.e. Take her temperature.A. a, b, dB. a, c, dC. b, c, eD. b, d, e27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service.B. The author thought her punishment shouldn’t be so serious.C. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed the policeman.D. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake.28. The article wants to ______.A. show that severe punishment works.B. explain how policemen test drivers.C. warn people against driving after drinking.D. blame the author’s thoughtless friends.CA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated(沮丧)and inflexible(固守己见的). Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.29. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. The higher a person's EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.30. The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. kindB. optimisticC. excitedD. floating31.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To prove the scientist's wisdom.C. To amuse both the children and readers.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.32.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.DThings to See & Do in DublinDublin City HallInside City Hall is an interesting exhibition about Dublin’s history, with historical items from the old city and multimedia presentations.

山东省日照一中2016届高三上学期期中考试英语试卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChina is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue,yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly.To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.22. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.23. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BBritons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚) afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.● Not making introductionsMargolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.●“Quite” goodUsing “quite”to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good”if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.● Money TalkAmericans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”● Over-politeness“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.24. Margolis’ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.A. Britons are particular about foodsB. Britons are not good at complainingC. Americans usually complain directlyD. Americans complain more than Britons25. Which of the following might Margolis agree with?A. Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.B. Americans introduce themselves at parties.C. Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.D. Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.26. The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means ____.A. differs greatly fromB. increases the quality ofC. reduces the strength ofD. draws attention away from27. What does the text mainly talk about?A. How to get on well with westerners.B. How to start conversations with Britons.C. Ruth Margolis’ tips on public behavior.D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.CIf you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn’t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn’t be surprised if the pol ice have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter ho w strange the call sounds. “There’s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a prank call,”said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says:“ When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threateninginjury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By telling a story.C. By listing figures.D. By making a comparison.29. According to the text, prank calls are usually________.A. meant to be helpfulB. dealt with in timeC. thought highly ofD. made to play tricks30. What does the underlined phrase “have the last laugh”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. win at last.B. never find them.C. laugh at them.D. know nothing.31. What does the author intend to suggest in the text?A. Prank calls are usually easy to identify.B. Operators feel annoyed by strange callers.C. Prank calls may cause serious results.D. Prank callers should be punished by law.DHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phoneswhile others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.35. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.D. Consequences of phubbing.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。

AChina’s economy grows,salaries rise;and more city residents feel the need to hit the roadin what has become a symbol of individuality and freedom—a car.China has a growing love affair with the car.This is clear at the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange,where more and more people come to look and,increasingly,to buy.The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing.General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than 2,000 cars each week.Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now.Also,the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars.For decades,most Chinese city residents have got about by bicycle or public buses and trains.Now,in many areas,the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system,leaving city streets jammed with traffic.Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade,and he will be the first in his family to own one.He is not prevented by Beijing’s traffic jams.Guo says if the traffic is too bad,he will use the ear for leisure or holidays with his family.World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says a car is something people in any society would be eager to own.“Getting a car makes people feel like they have arrived in the middle class.”Mendhiratta said.“It has got a huge status associated with it.It’s a fantastic thing to have,if you have never had a car.A car gives you a mobility that’s unbelievable.”21.Which of the following doesn’t a car represent,according to the passage? A.Status.B.Freedom.C.Individuality.D.Opportunity.22.What contributes to the affordability of cars,according to the passage?A.Factories produce more cars.B.The prices of imported cars are lower.C.There are more foreign car factories.D.Some domestic cars are not so expensive.23.What’s the problem caused by the growth of new cars?A.It makes people less healthy.B.It makes city streets jammed with traffic.C.It makes people often go to work late.D.It makes people belong to the middle class.BAmerica is losing its moral values at an alarming rate.There was a time,not too long ago,when most young Americans had a common goal,which was to get a good job,own a home and raise a family.That was considered happiness.People knew what they could afford and stayed within their means.Children were taught to respect authority.Parents were role models for their children.They would never let their children associate with another child that they considered to be a bad influence.And instead of just allowing them to grow up,they actually raised them with strong morals and beliefs,instilling(灌输)the values of God,family,and country.But today, America is full of exhausted dads and single moms who,instead of taking on their role as a parent,instilling moral character and values in their children,have lots of debt upon themselves.As a result,they are too busy working to pay these debts,rather than focus on the real needs of their children.Instead of giving their children the parental guidance they need,they shower them with expensive electronic gadgets(数码产品).Most of the time,especially in single parent homes,the children are completely unsupervised.Without proper guidance and supervision(监督),a child simply wanders aimlessly through their childhood,learning their values from only God knows who.Is it any wonder then that America is losing its moral values?The children are our future leaders.How can they lead if they don’t know the way?Even animals teach their young.Therefore,the young people of today need to listen to the older generation and start making some adjustments.Your children should be your primary concern.They need far more than mere food and shelter.They need careful guidance.Moral values need to be instilled while they are young.24.Americans used to give their children_______.A.much freedom B.proper guidance C.1ots of money D.expensive toys 25.Why are American parents exhausted today?A.They bear a heavy debt burden.B.They are under great work pressure.C.They are tired with raising children.D.They have fierce competition in their work.26.What tone(语气,口吻)does the author use in talking about today’s American parents? A.Grateful.B.Humorous.C.Disapproving.D.Guilty.27.The last paragraph is written to_______.A.make comparisons B.give more examplesC.analyze the problem D.give some adviceCBlack Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States.In recent years,it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and most major shops have opened extremely early and offered promotional sales(促销).Black Friday is not an official holiday,but many employees and schools have both Thanksgiving and the following Friday off,followed by a weekend.It has been the busiest shopping day of they ear since 2005.The day’s name began in Philadelphia,where it originally was used to describe huge crowds and heavy traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.The use of the name started before 1961.Later all alternative explanation was made:“Black Friday”indicates the point at which retailers(零售商)begin to turn a profit or are“in the black”.For many years,it was common for retailers to open at 6:00 a.m.,but in the late 2000s many had opened at 5:00 a.m.or even 4:00 a.m..This was taken to a new degree in 2011,when several retailers opened at midnight for the first time.Black Friday Shopping is known for attracting aggressive crowds,with annual reports of terrible noise and crowds of people trampling(踩伤)on other shoppers in an attempt to get the best deal on a product before supplies run out.28.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?A.People stay at home to spend the holiday.B.All people can have a relaxed Black Friday.C.Black Friday can increase the number of shoppers.D.Altogether people have 3 days off during Black Friday weekend.29.Black Friday originally referred to______.A.financial loss B.a busy shopping dayC.heavy traffic and crowds D.sad feelings and moments30.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?A.gaining money B.1osing money C.growing weak D.promoting goods 31.What’s the main reason for aggressive crowds on Black Friday nowadays?A.That people are eager to return home.B.That sellers try to make shopping time longer.C.That supplies are too limited to meet shoppers’needs.D.That shoppers rush to buy the cheapest goods.DTheir beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring,but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃)during their annual migration(迁徙)have remained a mystery.Now,though,scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO)have revealed the details of their remarkable 10,000-mile journey,with the help of tracking devices.Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks’’before being released.The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn,and returned in the spring.The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain.Between 1995 and 2010,the population of cuckoos spending sumnler here fell by almost half,and the number is continuing to decline.Previously,the lack of information about the cuckoos’long migration has hamoered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.Earlier this year,it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal.Their call was recorded by ornithologists(鸟类专家)as early as February,a month ahead of their usual arrival.Like all migrating animals,cuckoos respond to the changing seasons.They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on.This reliance on seasonal patternsmeans that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them.32.What is the main purpose of the project?A.To track cuckoos’1 0,000-mile journey.B.To better understand the habits of cuckoos.C.To find out what happens during cuckoos’journey.D.To discover why the population of cuckoos is declining.33.The underlined word“hampered”in Paragraph 3 probably means_____.A.prevented B.deepened C.improved D.affected34.When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain?A.In January.B.InFebruary.C.InMarch.D.In April.35.Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because of_____.A.1acking food B.changing climateC.changing routes D.cold spring in the UK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。
