2017甘肃高考英语试卷及答案及英语复习考试卷（2）
2017甘肃高考英语试卷及答案及英语复习考试卷(2)DSpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age.We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text.Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones.They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information.left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information.Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sitback, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place.”67.The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________.A.the new trend of slow readingB.the decline of electronic devicesC.the importance of exchanging ideasD.the increasing number of club readers68.According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________.A.a non-stop reading patternB.the straight, left-to-right screenC.a wide range of interesting newsD.the lack of reflection69.According to the passage, slow reading___________.A.contributes to understanding among peopleB.promotes the current technology advancesC.provides people with a quiet environmentD.cures the memory loss of elderly people70.What's the best title for the passage?A.Benefit of Reading Clubs.B.Return of Slow Reading.C.Reading of the Internet Age.D.Influence of Speed Reading.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,共10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017年甘肃省某校高考英语四模试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（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．1. Exploit your parking spaceAn unused parking space or garage can make money．If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to￡200 or ￡300 a week．Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or AtmyhouseparkRent a roomSpare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thank to the government﹣backed"rent a room"program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first￡4500 you make per year．Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy．Make money during special eventsDon't want a full﹣time lodger? Then rent on a short﹣term basis．If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money．Grashpadder can advertise your space．Live on setRenting your home out as a"film set"could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed．A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free﹣but you will be charged if your home gets picked．Use your roofYou need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment （around ￡14, 000）, and let you use the energy produced for nothing．In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid．However, you haveto sign a 25﹣year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof．（1）If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year，the tax you need to pay will be based on________．A ￡800B ￡4500C ￡500D ￡5000．（2）Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event？________A On Letpark．B On Roomspare．C On Roommateeasy．D On Grashpadder．．（3）If you want to use energy free，you have to________．A sign an agreement with the governmentB pay around ￡14，000 for theequipment C sell the roof to same energy companies D keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years．（4）For whom is the text most probably written？________A Lodgers．B Advertisers．C Online companies．D House owners．2. If you watch British television on Friday March 15, you might be surprised to see celebrities wearing funny red noses and joking around．But don't worry．They're notmad．It's all part of a biannual fund﹣raising event called Red Nose Day．Organized by the charity Comic Relief, founded in 1985by two British comedians, the aim of the event it is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa．Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows broadcast by the BBC．This year, for example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event．But Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year．They do it all year round．One way of doing so is﹣by shopping in charity shops．Thesesmall, inconspicuous shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop But there's one big difference﹣everthing sold in the shops is second﹣hand．There are nearly 10, 000 charity shops in the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association．Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced．Most items go back on sale at a small part of their original price and the money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause．The idea of buying used clothes may sound off﹣putting, but for shoppers who have less spending money, such as the elderly or those in low﹣paying jobs, it has been a welcome option for years．Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion．"You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price．It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them．I simply wash them before I wear them, "said Anne Marie, a 19﹣year﹣old Internet user from the US, in a comment on a Yahoo forum．So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds．Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause．（1）Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video？________A To earn a living．B To support the band．C To entertain the audience．D To help raise money．（2）What do we learn from the passage about Comic Relief？________A It was founded in 1985 by two British comedians in Africa．B It runs nearly 10，000 charity shops in the UK．C It organizes the Red Nose Day fund﹣raising event．D It is financially supported by the UK government．（3）What's Anne Marie's attitude to charity shops？________A Disapproving．B Particular．C Doubtful．D Favorable．（4）The passage is written mainly to________．A explain how charity shops work in the UK．B introduce the traditions of the Red Nose Day．C inspire more people to join in charitable causes in the UK．D analyze why charity shops are popular in the UK．3. Living in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Eachday, animals struggle to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on theirown．Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic （共生的） relationships．In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps theother meet its needs．Sounds good, right? Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks, for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts．In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps intothe fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal offish trash．Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers﹣crocodiles．Crocs have long snouts（鼻子）filled with sharp teeth, Cleaning them is tricky．When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．The croc does not snap its snout shut．Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to its teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth．（1）The text is mainly about________．A the hard life in the wild．B animals in a symbiotic relationship．C animals living together．D some dangerous animals．（2）According to the text，in a symbiotic relationship，________．A animals depend on each other．B birds depend on animals for food．C both sides can get help．D not all animals treat their partners well．（3）Why do the cleaner shrimps clean the fish？________A To get fish trash for food．B To eat wee creatures．C To help fish go out of coral reefs．D To get food for fish．（4）According to the text，it can be inferred that________．A living in the wild can be hard．B different animals have different livingways． C crocodiles mainly live on plovers． D ticks are useful to some animals．4. New York Time﹣A gunman killed eight people at a mall in Omaha this afternoon and then killed himself, setting off panic among holiday shoppers, the police said．"The person who we believe to be the shooter has died from self﹣inflicted gunshot wounds, "Sergeant Teresa Negron of the Omaha Police Department said at televised news．"We have been able to clear the mall, "she said．"We don't believe we have any other shooters．"The police said that at least five other people had been injured in the shootings． She did not give the shooter's identity．"We are still conducting theinvestigation, "Sergeant Negron said, adding that the city's mayor, who was out of town, was on his way back to Omaha．She said the police received a 911 call from someone inside the Westroads Mall on the west side of Omaha, and shots could be heard in the background．The first police officers arrived at the mall six minutes after the first call, she said but by then the shootings were over．It is reported that the gunman left a suicide note that was found at his home by relatives．A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity（匿名）said the note indicated that the gunman wanted to"________．"The shootings broke the usually ordinary routine of holiday shopping．The gunman was said by some witnesses to have fired about 20 shots into a crowd．Some customers and workers ran screaming from the mall, while others dived into dressing rooms to hide from the shooter．Shoppers and store workers were trapped inside the mall, which has roughly 135 stores．Others streamed out of mall exits with their hands raised．President Bush was in Omaha this morning to deliver a speech, but he had left the city by the time the shootings took place．（1）What do the underlined words"go out in style"probably mean？________A To go out of the mall in particular clothes．B To walk in the mall with oneself focused on．C To stop his life in an impressive way．D To go to a social event by fashionable means．（2）Which of the following is true according to the passage？________A Nobody knows why the shooter did so and nothing was found at his home．B The city's mayor went to the site when the shooting took place．C Police arrived at the mall before the shooting was over and rescued customers．D The official who showed what the note meant wanted to keep himself from being known to the public．（3）Which of the following can be the best title of the news？________A Bush Happened to Escape a Shot．B Shoppers in Great Panic before the Holiday．C Shooter Found Dead in a Mall on the west of Omaha．D Gunman Killed 8 People，Then Himself at a Mall in Omaha．第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Lazy people will never achieve anything in life．However，laziness can be defeated oncea few changes have been made in your mind．（1）_______Many people lack sleep constantly，since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work．These people have little motivation once they arrive home．Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things．By adjusting yow sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day．Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active．Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from project to project．Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each project or task as a challenge they must overcome alone．（2）_______Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them．A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often promotes laziness（3）_______Complete a certain number of chores and reward yourself with a good dinner or a film．Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home．Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with quickly．（4）_______Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal．Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own chores．It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people．（5）_______Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help boost your mood．A．Knowing how to fight laziness is important．B．Om way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep．C．Finally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness．D．With strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal．E．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life．F．Create a reward system for yourself，just as parents do for the children．G．To fight household laziness，set an example．第二部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

Recently，as the development of the Internet，there is a kind of language calling the Web Language．The other day our class have a discussion about if we should welcome the Web Language．Forty percent of∧students think it ridiculous．In their opinions，it does no good to helping people communicating，nor is it useful for learning English Besides，it'll make Chinese more standard，finally ruining our mother tongue．However，60% of our class are fond of it．They think it simple，convenient and helpful in expressing them．Personally，I think it's not a good habit to use the Web Language．It may be popular，but you may also make yourself be misunderstood．解析：1．as改为with．考查介词．句意：随着科技的发展，有一种语言被叫作网络的语言．as为介词时表"作为"，with表"随着"，故把as改为with．2．calling改为called．考查非谓语动词作定语．与修饰的名词language之间关系为被动关系，故应用过去分词形式．3．have改为had．考查谓语动词的时态．根据时间状语The other day表示"前几天"，可知谓语动词用过去式had．4．if改为whether．考查名词性从句的引导词．做介词宾语用whether，不用if引导宾语从句．故把if改为whether．5．students前加the．考查冠词．特指这些学生中的百分之四十，用定冠词the．6．opinions改为opinion．考查固定短语．在短语in one's opinion 中，opinion为不可数名词．7．communicating改为communicate．考查非谓语动词．表示"帮助某人做某事"用help sb （to） do sth，所以用动词原形communicate．8．more改为less．考查单词辨析．句意：另外，它使得中文更加不标准，不纯正，将最终毁灭我们的母语．根据语境，此处意思正好相反，故把more改为less．9．them该为themselves．考查代词．句意：他们认为网络语言能更简单，更方便地表达他们自己．根据语境，突出他们自己，故把them该为themselves．10．去掉be．考查动词短语．make sb．done 使某人被…，be done形式不能作宾补．故去掉be．9.

He thought badly of Hillary Clinton.D.He is worried about America.28.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The problems with America.B.The challenges Trump will face.C.Trump’s ideas about his future work.D.The decisions Trump will have to make.CA trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping(给小费) culture you’ve never come across in China.In the US,giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tips—often waiters and waitresses—are the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up the difference.As The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you don’t have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra—but maybe a little less.Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafés or ice cream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机).Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesn’t hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.Other service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (标准),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理疗师) and tour guides.Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the bill to sign,you are free to fill in how much you’d like to tip.Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.29.What is the article mainly about?A.How tipping culture started in the US.B.How to give tips properly in the US.C.New ways to give tips in the US.D.The different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.30.Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?A.Paying waiters and waitresses less than $7.25 per hour.B.Ignoring the tip jar at fast food restaurants,cafés,or ice cream shops.C.Tipping taxi drivers less than 15% because of poor service.D.Refusing to give tips to your tour guide.31.The underlined word “obligated” in Paragraph 7 probably means .A.being forced to do somethingB.being grateful for somethingC.being surprised at somethingD.being embarrassed about something32.According to the author,Chinese consumers .A.don’t necessarily have to follow the tipping rules in the USB.should use their credit cards to give tipsC.must argue about the amount of tip they have to payD.should take it easy and give the correct tips for different occasionsDThey may be teenagers,but 17-year-old Brittany Bull and 16-year-old Sesam Mngqengqiswa have grand ambitions—to launch Africa’s first private satellite into space.They are part of a teamof high school girls from Cape Town,South Africa,who have designed and built equipment for a satellite that will orbit over the earth’s poles scanning Africa’s surface.Once in space,the satellite will collect information on agriculture,and food security within the ing the data,“we can try to determine and predict the problems Africa will be facing in the future”,explains Bull,a student at Pelican Park High School.“Where our food is growing,where we can plant more trees and vegetation and also how we can monitor remote areas,”she says.“We have a lot of forest fires and floods but we don’t always get out there in time.”Information received twice a day will go towards disaster prevention.It’s part of a project by South Africa’s Meta Economic Development Organization(MEDO) working with Morehead State University in the US.The girls (14 in total) are being trained by satellite engineers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology,in an effort to encourage more African women into STEM(science,technology,engineering,mathematics).Scheduled to launch in May 2017,if successful,it will make MEDO the first private company in Africa to build a satellite and send it into orbit.Mngqengqiswa comes from a single parent household.Her mother is a domestic worker.By becoming a space engineer or astronaut,the teenager hopes to make her mother proud.“Discovering space and seeing the Earth’s atmosphere,it’s not something many black Africans have been able to do,or get the opportunity to look at.I want to see and experience these things for myself,”says Mngqengqiswa.Her team mate Bull agrees,“I want to show to fellow girls that we don’t need to sit around or limit ourselves.Any career is possible—even aerospace.”33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?rmation provided by the satellite.B.The benefits brought by the satellite.C.Problems African agriculture faces.D.The way the satellite collects information.34.Why are the experts teaching the girls satellite technology?A.To turn them into good farmers.B.To help African women to live better.C.To train employees for a private company.D.To attract more African women to sci-tech fields.35.What do you think of the girls in the text?A.Ambitious and pioneering.B.Generous and considerate.C.Independent and modest.D.Brave and tolerant.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
甘肃省高台县高三英语上学期第四次检测试题(无答案)
2017年秋学期高三年级第四次检测高三英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，20 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）阅读下列短文：从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，将正确的选项涂在答题卡上。
AThe giant water bodies like oceans,rivers, and lakes may seem attractive, but it is entirely different beneath and within them. So it’d be useful to inform you about the world’s most dangerous waters. If you’ve booked your trip to one of these places, it might be wise to change your plan.Fraser Island, AustraliaFraser Island is situated along the southern coast of Queensland, Austr alia. It’s known to be the largest sand island globally. While the scene and waters surrounding Fraser Island look beautiful, it’s a prohibited zone, as the seas are home to loads of sharks and other dangerous creatures.Kilauea, Hawaii, USKilauea is a town located on the northeastern shore of Kauai, one of the eight islands of Hawaii. Hawaii is well-known for its beautiful beaches, rolling waves and pleasant weather. However, the place has many active volcanoes like Mount Kilauea. The beach is dangerous s ince it’s located close to active volcanoes.Victoria Falls, ZambiaThe Victoria Falls in the Zambia is a wonderful sight for it’s beauty, but is a dangerous place as well. There’s a natural pool called Devil’s Pool near the edge of the falls. The pool is a great spot for swimmers, but occasional deaths have taken place when people had slipped over the rock barrier. The huge cliff over which the falls move rapidly, changes the calm water into a violent stream.Recife, BrazilOver 100 shark attacks have occurred since 1931. Most of these attacks took place in a town of Brazil, called Recife, which has a beach, well-known for shark attacks. It was filled with swimmers and surfers, but that isn’t the case today, Today, the place is known to be one of the top 10 places with shark attacks in the world according to the International Shark Attack File.1.Who is the text intended for?A. PhotographersB. BiologistsC. TouristsD. Engineers2.Which two places have the same cause of their danger?A. Kilauea and RecifeB. Fraser Island and RecifeC. Kilauea and Victoria FallsD. Fraser Island and Victoria Falls3.What can we know about the waters mentioned in the text?A. They are appealing as well as dangerousB. They cause deaths on a yearly basis.C. They are located close to an island.D. They are deserted due to their danger.BRobert and Howard had always gotten along well. They’d worked on several projects together and considered each other friends. So when Robert discovered that Howard held a strategy meeting and hadn’t included him, he felt betrayed. He sent a text to Howard immediately: “I can’t believe you didn’t include me in that meeting!”Howard was in the middle of a client meeting when his phone received the new text. Stealing a look at his phone, he felt a mixture of things: concern, anger, embarrassment, frustration, defensiveness. The text distracted Howard, and his meeting didn’t go as well as he had hoped. His anger grew as he thought about the fact that in a meeting ear lier that week, Robert didn’t support an idea Howard proposed to Jane, their CEO, though before the meeting Howard had said he liked the idea. So as soon as Howard stepped out of his client meeting, he sent a simple reply to Robert: “I can’t believe you left me hanging in our meeting with Jane.”Two little texts managed to upset a relationship that had been good for years. This brief but improper exchange can teach us a lot of things. For instance, don’ttext when you’re angry, and don’t communicate in the middle of any strong negative feeling.To make communicating efficient, you should start with thinking about the outcome you’re aiming for, and then respond in a way that will achieve that outcome. In Robert and Howard’s situation, the outcomes they wanted were very similar: to be connected, and to be supported. Yet their reactions to each other brought them the exact opposite. Actually, the rule here is simple: Don’t communicate just because you feel like it. Namely, they should communicate when they both aren’t angry.4.Why did Robert send the text to Howard?A. Howard betrayed him at work.B. Howard held a meeting without inviting himC. Howard didn’t involve him in a project.D. Howard hid him from the truth5.What made Howard angrier?A. His meeting’s failure.B. His leader’s criticism.C. His friend’s negative textD. A previous unpleasant experience6. Why did Robert and Howard put an end to their friendship?A. They weren’t connected enoughB. They didn’t handle issues calmlyC. They were misled by someone else.D. They had a negative attitude towards life.7. What is the text focused on?A. The end of two close persons’ friendshipB. The effects of negative emotions on friendship.C. Lessons from two persons’ failing relationship.D. Ways to overcome ineffective communications.CBrain tests at the age of three appear to predict a child's future chance of success in life, say researchers. Low cognitive(认知的)test scores for skills like languageindicate less developed brains, possibly caused by too little stimulation(激励in early life. These youngsters are more likely to become criminals, dependent on welfare or having long-lasting illness unless they are given support later on. Their study in New Zealand appears in the journal, Nature Human Behavior.The US researchers from Duke University say the findings highlight the importance of early life experiences and necessity to support disadvantaged youngsters. Although the study followed people in New Zealand, the investigators believe that the results could apply to other countries.They followed the lives of more than 1,000 children. Those who had low test scores for language, behavioral movement and cognitive skills at three years old went on to account for more than 80% of crimes, required 78% of prescriptions and received 66% of social welfare payments in adulthood.It is known that disadvantaged people use a greater share of services. While many of the children in the study who were behind in brain development came from disadvantaged backgrounds, poverty was not the only link with poor futures.When the researchers took out children below the poverty line in a separate analysis, they found that a similar proportion(比例） of middle class children who scored low in tests when they were three also went on to experience difficulties when they were older.8. According to Paragraph 1, the youngsters with low cognitive test scores ___________.A. will have developed brains laterB. will probably depend on welfare unless supportedC. are less likely to become criminalsD. have no stimulation in their criminals9. The underlined word “highlight” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”A.realizeB. stressC. brightenD. lighten10. From the text, we can infer that ____________.A. the children in New Zealand have low test scoresB. disadvantaged people have little access to publicC. not all poor futures result from povertyD. one’s success in life is determined by early test scores11. What could be the best title for the text?A. The success and the experienceB. Ways to predict a child’s future chance of successC.. The importance of family backgroundsD. Brain tests can predict children’s f uturesDMost American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Federal government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions are against charter schools. One teachers’ union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular publicschools.Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.12. Which of the following suggests charter schools are independent?A. They make greater progressB. They enjoy more freedomC. Their class size is smaller.D. They oppose traditional ways13. What’ s the government’ s attitude toward charter schools?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive. D. Satisfied. D. Unclear.14. What can we learn from the text?A. More students choose to attend charter schools.B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.C. Students in charter schools are well educated.D. People have different opinions about charter schools.15. It can be inferred from the text that ___________.A. charter schools are all privately financedB. the number of charter schools will be limitedC. one-on-one attention should be paid to studentsD. charter schools are part of the public education system第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分。

第I卷第一：阅读理解第一节（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。
AWhen your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower （人力资源） for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much ofa profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demand as a source of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be overeducated for society’s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,”the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I’d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the nameof someone who’s on our wanted list. We’re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,”he said, “We’ll call you when we’re ready for you.”After an hour, Washington still hadn’t decided anything about me.“Isn’t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can’t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I’m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I’m an American citizen; a novelist;I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You’re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” h e handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you are n’t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don’t know—I don’t know of anyone who’s ever written to them before.” Then he added,”By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we’d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I’ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn’t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone’s personal and professional identity—just like the town you’re born in and the place where you’re raised.Like my father, I’ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist’sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn’t be en confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn’t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience from happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where onestands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That’s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is closed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not ‘waste’ their money on multivitamins. “The ‘stop wasting your money’ means that perhapsyou’re spending money on things that won’t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation’s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. E dgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also note s that vitamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.13. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicineB. educationC. foodD. business14. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller’s opinion according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B.

高三英语第四次检测考试试题
甘肃省甘谷县2017届高三英语第四次检测考试试题本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。
全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。
第I卷（共 70 分）第一部分选择题第一节．阅读理解（共15题，每小题2分，共30分）AThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story cou ld have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whal ing ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem —their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Expertssay that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.1. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countriesC. To show the importance of moneyD. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.2. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerfulB. Modern and openC. Peaceful and attractiveD. Greedy and aggressive3. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the moneyB. It spent too much repairing the islandC. Its phosphate mining cost much moneyD. It lost millions of dollars in the civilwar.4. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the NauruansD. The phosphate mines were destroyedBOne of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxfo rd.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline(拒绝) to visit Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院） for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularl y, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.5. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.A. came out before minor diedB. was edited by an American volunteerC. included the English words invented by MurrayD. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary6. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C. He provided a great number of words and quotationsD. He went to England to work with Murray.7. Which of the following best describe Dr. Minor?A. Brave and determinedB. Cautious and friendlyC. Considerate and optimisticD. Unusual and scholarly8. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and MinorC. Minor and the first Oxford English DictionaryD. Broadmoor Asylum and its patientsCSan Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost $1,000.It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world.In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.9. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________.A. offer squirrels a place to eat nutsB. set up a local landmarkC. help improve trafficD. protect squirrels10. What happened over the coffee break discussion?A. The commit tee got the Council’s blessing.B. The squirrel bridge idea was bornC. A councilwoman named the bridgeD. A squirrel was found dead.11. What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably means in the text?A. Passing them a ropeB. Directing them to store food for winterC. Teaching them a lessonD. Showing them how to use the bridge.12. What can we learn about Amos Peters?A. He is remembered for his love of animals.B. He donated $1,000 to build the bridge.C. He was a member of the City CouncilD. He was awarded a medal for building thebridge.DFor those who are tired of doing the laundry(洗衣), Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done through a smartphone app(application).Strange though it may seem —“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device(装置) when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical uses.“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the timeof day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do —enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.13. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?A. They can tell you when your clothes need washingB. They can be controlled with a smartphoneC. They are difficult to operateD. They are sold at a low price14. We can conclude form Samsung’s statements that ___________.A. the app connection makes life easierB. it is better to dry clothes in the morningC. smartphone can shorten the drying timeD. we should refresh clothes back at home15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The laundry should be frequently checkedB. Lazy people like using such machinesC. Good technologies also cause problemsD. Television may help do the laundry.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Among the school-age kids in the study, those who had been exposed to dogs during their first year of life were 13 percent less likely to have asthma at age 6.The researchers said they don’t know for sure what exactly may explain the relationship between early exposure to animals and a reduced risk of asthma. "It might be due to a single factor, or more likely, a combination of several factors rel ated to a dog ownership lifestyle or dog owners’ attitudes, such as kids’ exposure to household dirt and pet dust, time spent outdoors or being physically active," Fall told LiveScience. "As a parent in a dog-and-baby household, it is nearly impossible to keep everything clean, and maybe this is a good thing for your baby’s future health.""My take-home message from this study is that parents at this point do not need to worry about keeping their dog when expecting a baby for fear of asthmatic disease," Fall said. "I do want to be clear that this recommendation is valid only for families without a child already having allergies. If they already have afurred-animal-allergic child, we do not recommend them to get a furred pet."According to this hypothesis（假设）, being exposed to bacteria early in life is crucial for shaping a healthy immune system, and may play a role in modifying a person’s risk of developing asthma and allergies. "As to allergies and asthma, it is partially genetic, but studies like this do show us that your environment does play a key role in the development of your immune system, and the development of allergies and asthma," Parikh told LiveScience.4.Which of the following will Fall probably agree with?A.Asthma is still a common and serious disease for most children.B.Parents should take their pet for physical examination regularly.C.The link between keeping pets and having asthma among kids isn’t clear.D.Dirt and pet dust in the family are bad for children’s health.5.Which of the foll owing children shouldn’t have a dog?A.Children who have asthma.B.Children who dislike outdoor activities.C.Children who are lack of patience.D.Children who have allergies to fur.6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Environment can change your immune system greatly.B.Both allergies and asthma are totally genetic.C.It’s easy for people to develop asthma and allergies.D.Most bacteria are good for immune system.7.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To persuade parents to buy a pet for their children.B.To tell readers the finding of a study on children.C.To clarify some misconceptions about keeping a pet.D.To explain why keeping a pet is beneficial to children.CI was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. "Your password has run out," a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase(大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, and the whole thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.Suddenly I was cross. What didn’t make it an y better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. The flashing cursor(光标) was still waiting for me to type a password that I’d have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days.I remembered a tip from my former boss: I’m going to use a pass word to change my life.I decided to choose a password, which would remind me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote "forgive her" every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and adopt a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt slow healing began to take place. By the time my server reminded me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.8.According to the author’s company, which code is suitable?A.never2&lateB.1u#LifeC.HEALTH* keepingD.persist@4Ever9.Which word can replace the underlined word "cross" in Paragraph 2?A.Angry.B.Curious.C.Anxious.D.Nervous.10.Why did the author change his password into Forgive@h3r?A.To make it easier for him to remember.B.To reduce his frustration of the recent divorce.C.To protect his computer against hacker attacks.D.To inform people of the importance of forgiveness.11.What is the best title of the passage?A.Learn the Best Way to Deal with DepressionB.What an Unsuccessful Marriage Taught MeC.How a Password Changed My LifeD.Choose a Suitable Password for Your ComputerDIn China, chain restaurants, especially the big multinational ones, are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan(见多识广的)enough to be part of globalization.”Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m hungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.12.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture.B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants.C.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date.D.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status.13.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.B.Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.C.Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.14.We can infer from the article that ______.A.the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends.B.many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality.C.many Britons don’t like big corporations.D.the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut.15.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?A.adaptedB.switchedC.subscribedD.contributed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。

AWhen your parents advise you to “get an education”in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源） for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns. You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobodycan turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demand as a source of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be overeducated for society’s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room.I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,”the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I’d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shock ed that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who’s on our wanted list. We’re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We’ll call you when we’re ready for you.”After an hour, Washington still hadn’t decided anyt hing about me. “Isn’t this computerized?”I asked at the counter, “Can’t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “Forall we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I’m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you ou t of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I’m an American citizen;a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You’re free to go,”he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you are n’t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don’t know—I don’t know of anyone who’s ever written to them before.” Then he added,”By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we’d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I’ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn’t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone’s personal and professional identity—ju st like the town you’re born in and the place where you’re raised.Like my father, I’ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist’sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity had n’t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn’t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience from happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That’s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is closed- supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not ‘waste’ their money on multivitamins. “The ‘stop wasting your money’ means that perhaps you’re spending money on things that won’t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, be ans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures.

AThe morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The tro uble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told my fears, she laughed and said, ‘Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!1. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?A.

Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game ca lled bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, a n Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.4. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.A. be a team leaderB. obey the basic rulesC. act as a grown-upD. predict possible danger5 .According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?A.

Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.A. bring fun to poor kidsB. provide soccer balls for childrenC. give poor kids a chance for a better lifeD. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids7. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Games benefit people all their lives.B．Sports can get all athletes together.C．People are advised to play games for fun.D．Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.CDo you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me，it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa. But that's not the only reason：price is an important fact or. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock－down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2020.Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time，lacking money and theywant security about the products they are buying. ”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smart-phones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in－store discounts or free gifts.We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!8.The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to______________. .A. introduce the topicB. give two examplesC. compare different opinionsD. get answers from readers9.What does showrooming mean in the text?A.

With the introduction of washing machines, washing clothes became easier．The machines would dry clothes at least 70 to 80 percent and already half-dried clothes would be done in no time．Do you want to know how washing machines evolved?The first washing machine was called the scrub(擦洗)board and was invented in the year l797．In l851, American man, James King, discovered and patented the first washing machine to use a drum．However, it was still hand-powered and did not work by itself．Then，in l858, William Blackstone of Indiana built a washing machine for his wife．This washing machine removed and washed away dirt from the clothes．This was the first official washing machine that could be used at home．In l908, the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago invented the Thor machine．This was the first washing machine that was electrically powered, and it had a galvanized(电镀的)metal tub and an electric motor．The earlier washing machine had a heavy, cast-iron mechanism mounted on the tub lid, making the machine heavy and difficult to move．The introduction of a metal tub and reduction gears(减速齿轮)in later years replaced this heavy equipment and by l920 the production of wooden tub washing machines completely stopped．But the new machines made a lot of noise because of their bulky meta l tubs．A modification that was made was coveting the tubs with white enameled(磁漆的)sheet metal to make the cleaning process easier. By the early l950s, American companies started producing washing machines with a spin dry feature, and this replaced the old wringer, which, while drying the clothes, would remove the buttons or cause accidents involving the hair and hands．In l957, the first washing machine with five plus buttonswas introduced．These controlled the wash temperature, rinse temperature and spin speed．Slowly, more features were added, and today we have a variety of washing machines with different features and styles to help us out and make life simpler and easier．12．According to the passage, the first of ficial washing machine ．A．was invented in the year l797B．was invented for a womanC．worked by using a drumD．was electrically powered13．Why were the earlier washing machines heavy?A．They were equipped with a cast-iron mechanism on the tub lid．B．They had a metal tub and reduction ge ars．C．They had a galvanized metal tub and an electric motor．D．They had a hand-powered mechanism．14．What can we learn from paragraph five?A．The washing machine with a metal tub and reduction gears was invented in l920s．B．The washing machines with a metal tub did not make any noise．C．The cleaning process became simpler thanks to an enameled sheet metal tub．D．The wooden tub washing machine was cheaper than one with a metal tub．15．What was an advantage of the spin dry feature?A．It didn’t have buttons to control it．B．The wash and rinse temperature could be controlled．C．It avoided accidents involving the hair and hands．D．It speeded up the spin speed．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。
