BoredB. RelaxedC. FrightenedD. Amazed7.What would be the best title?______A. The Owl CountB. A Study on OwlsC. Observation of BirdsD. A Cheerful Early Morning.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】24.B 细节分析题由第一段中"observing and counting owls"可知是收集关于猫头鹰的信息,故选B.25.C 细节分析题由最后一段的"flashlight"可知是在手电筒的帮助下,故选C.26.D 细节分析题由第三段中"Annie could hardly believe her ear"可以看出她非常惊讶.故选D.27.D 内容归纳题通读文章可以知道安妮和父亲在早上观察鸟类时度过了一个愉快的早上.本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了安妮和她的父亲在一个早上观察猫头鹰( owls )是发生的故事.文章大致叙述了观察的过程,以及观察过程中安妮及其父亲的感受.这是一篇记叙文,要求学生通读文章大意,找到相关信息后回答问题,以及推理答案.CThere is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合)to their inner child.They feel ill equipped for parenthood,because they don't see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young,besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in life.They are trying to live by not acting their age.As Ms Jane put it in her letter:I am married,in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy:winning and 2016 dining,tasteful clothes,travel and a career.Why give up all these for a baby?It is reported that when asked whether they were adults,most people in their 20s answered they were not sure.This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living.Being a kidult is not all about being selfish,though.With the untold uncertainties of war,fluctuating(波动)markets,disease and terrorism,many see this world as a poor place to live in-let alone bring kids up in.This seems especially so in urban living.All anyone wants after a long,hard day at work is some peace and quiet.My classmate,Jenny,mused(沉思)recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids.Maybe they just loved having children around.Or maybe,in their own way,they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it.That's how you,I and everyone know we have the chance to breathe air,touch grass and see sky.I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on.8.What is a kidult in the writer's opinion?______A. A person who doesn't have a childB. An adult who actually has a psychology of a childC. A child who doesn't want to grow upD. A person who doesn't know that what values he has9.What does the underlined word"paper"in Para.4 mean?______A. moneyB. reputationC. qualificationD. power10.The author explains the kidult phenomenon by ______A. presenting research findingsB. making comparisonC. showing her own experienceD. using examples11.We can learn from the text that kidults ______ .A. know little what they can pass on to their childrenB. are sure of their abilities for good lifeC. living in urban can enjoy more peaceD. living in small towns know well what they're living for.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】A【解析】28.B.细节理解题.由第一段There is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合)to their inner child,越来越多的成年人戴着成熟的面具,却喜欢迎合自己内心的孩子.故选B.29.C.词义猜测题.由词所在句This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living.这反映了一个全球经济中,人们追逐更多的论文,要更多的什么得到更好的工作,将舒适地支持中产阶级的生活.推断出这可能是一种资格,故选C.30.D.细节理解题.根据文章中内容,作者不停地举例证明自己的观点,故选D.31.A.细节理解题.由第二段they don't see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young,他们不知道应该诚实地传递给下一辈怎样的价值观或课程.文章讲述了虽然成年人已经成年,但他们依旧有一颗童心,也喜欢和孩子待在一起.对于他们来说,活着,就是父母传递给孩子的宝贵经验.本篇文章多为细节理解题.要求理解的句子都不是孤立的,理解这些句子往往要根据上下文或全文理解,才能准确理解句意,避免出现判断上的偏差.DAt Dulles High school in Sugar Land,Texas,the roster(候选名单)for Advanced Chinese begins with Jason Chao and ends with Kathy Zhang.In between comes an unexpected name:Elizabeth Hoffman.Hoffman,now a 12th grader,began learning Chinese in the eighth grade,has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall.When asked by her peers---why she is learning Chinese,she responds with a question:"why aren't you?"As China rushes toward superpower status,America's schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman's opinion.Earlier this year Rush Holt of New Jersey introduced legislation(立法)calling for increased money of programs for less commonly taught languages,"For reasons of economics,culture and security,we should have much better facilities(设备)with Chinese languages and dialects,"he said.The State Department has pointed out Chinese is becoming a"critical language",but the most recent data show that only 24,000 students in Grade 7 to Grade 12 study Chinese.Still,the number is growing.In Chicago public schools,enrollment in Chinese classes has skyrocked from 5000 students in 2005 to nearly 35,000 students this year.In the Santa Clara County,California,enrollment has quadrupled during the same period.In 2007,when the College Board first introduces advanced-placement language exams in Chinese and Italian,2,400 high school plan to offer AP Chinese---10 times the number of students that plan to offer AP Italian.Much of the interest can be explained by China's increasing competitiveness."People are always trying to judge what languages are going to be useful for the future,"says Marty Abbot,the director of education at the National Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages,Stephanie Wong,a student At Monta Vista High School in Cupertino,California,chose Chinese so that she could speak with her grandfather.Wong also predicted that Chinese will be important if she becomes a doctor.80 percent of people in her hometown are Asians.12.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?______A. Dulles High School offers a Chinese courseB. Jason and Kathy are the top students at Dulles SchoolC. Elizabeth Hoffman suggests her school offer a Chinese courseD. Elizabeth Hoffman takes the lead in learning Chinese13.According to the text,Chinese is becoming a"critical language"because ______ .A. American government has pointed it outB. Rush Holt introduced legislation calling for opening ChineseC. China rushes toward superpower statusD. many students in the world choose to learn Chinese14.______ arouses America's schools interest in Chinese.A. The fact that Chinese is becoming a"critical language"B. China's increasing competitiveness in the worldC. The beautiful Chinese traditional cultureD. The population of people speaking Chinese15.We can infer from the passage that ______A. more money will be spent on facilities with Chinese languagesB. in America,more people speak Italian than ChineseC. the number of enrollment in Chinese classes will be increasing foreverD. if a language is useful for the future it may become a critical language.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】C 【小题3】B 【小题4】D【解析】32.D.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"Elizabeth Hoffman.Hoffman,now a 12th grader,began learning Chinese in the eighth grade,has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall"可知第一段主要在讲Elizabeth Hoffman领先开始学习汉语;故选D.33.C.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"As China rushes toward superpower status,America's schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman's opinion"随着中国开始成为超级大国,美国学校和政府开始支持Hoffman学习汉语的做法;可知汉语成为一种重要语言是因为中国在向超级大国靠近;故选C.34.B.细节理解题,根据文章第四段"Much of the interest can be explained by China's increasing competitiveness"可知美国开始重视汉语是因为中国的国际竞争力提升了;故选B.35.D.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"People are always trying to judge what languages are going to be useful for the future"人们总是试图判断什么语言在将来是有用的,可推测如果一种语言在未来是有用的,它可能成为一种关键语言;故选D.本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了世界上越来越多的人正在学习汉语的现象,由于中国正逐步成为超级大国,并且国际竞争力越来越强,越来越多的国家开始重视汉语,汉语逐渐成为一种关键性的语言.考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.二、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共1.0分)When Jean Harper was in the third grade,her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.Jean's father was a crop duster(16)in the little farming community where Jean was raised.She was totally (17)by airplanes and flying.She (18)her heart into her report.However,her paper came back with an"F"on it.The teacher said it was a"fairy tale"and it(19) come true.Jean was beaten down by the(20).Several years went by,Jean was in her (21)year of high school.One day her English teacher,Mrs.Slaton,gave the class a (22)about what they would be doing 10 years later.Jean thought hard about it.Pilot?(23),Flight attendant?I'm not pretty enough.Waitress?I could do that.That felt(24),so she wrote it down.One week later,the teacher handed back the assignments and asked:"If you had unlimited (25),what would you do?"Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm,and with(26)she wrote down all her old (27).When the students stopped writing,the teacher asked,"How many students wrote the (28)thing on the paper?"Not one hand (29).Then the teacher said,"all of you do(30)unlimited abilities.If you don't (31)your dreams,no one will do it for you.You can have what you want if you want it (32)."Mrs.Slaton's inspiring words (33)the course of Jean's life.After ten years of hard work,(34)Jean became one of the first three (35)pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines.16.

half-man,half-monkey 指的是一类,故用第三人称单数形式exists.70.until;考查句型结构,这是"not…until…"结构,意为"直到…才…",此处用until,意为"直到这几个动物中的一只被抓住,它们才相信是真的".本文记叙了十位中国工程师在乘车去国家森林公园的路上遇见的一幕.他们看到三个披着长长的黑发的高大动物在穿过公路,遗憾的是他们没能给这些动物拍下照片.科学家对这一发现非常高兴,他们返回森林,收集一些毛发,测量脚印,来研究这类动物.但同时有些人不相信这种似人又似猴的动物的存在,除非捉到它们.首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案四、短文改错(本大题共1小题,共1.0分)37.短文改错Last Sunday I went to the Bird's Nest Stadium,there I met some young America tourists.I greeted to each other and began to chat.From chat I learned that they were collegestudents study at Beijing Language University.They all seem to love Chinese culture.As walking,they were busy taking picture of the Stadium.Apparently,we were impressed by the grand gym.But then I felt very proud that China was becoming more and more attractive for foreigners.【答案】Last Sunday I went to the Bird's Nest Stadium,there I met somewhereyoung America tourists.I greetedto each other and began to chat.American 去掉toFrom∧chat I learned that they were college students study at Beijingthe studyingLanguage University.They all seem to love Chinese culture.seemedAs walking,they were busy taking picture of the Stadium.picturesApparently,wewere impressed by the grand gym.But thenthey AndI felt very proud that China was becoming more and moreattractive for foreigners.to1.将there改为where 考查关系副词的用法根据句意"上个星期日,我去了鸟巢体育馆,在那里我遇到了一些年轻的美国游客"以及此处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词the Bird's Nest Stadium在从句中作地点状语;故用关系副词where2.将America改为American 考查形容词的用法此处用来修饰名词tourists,故用形容词American3.去掉to 考查动词的用法由于greet是及物动词,故应去掉to4.在chat前加the 考查定冠词的用法根据上文可知,此处的chat表示特指:在鸟巢,我与美国游客的聊天;故用the5.将study改为studying 考查现在分词的用法分析句意可知,此处在句中作后置定语修饰名词students,并且与该名词构成主谓关系,意为:在北京语言大学学习的大学生;故用studying6.将seem改为seemed 考查时态根据上文讲述的是上周日的事情可知,此处应使用一般过去时;故用seemed7.将picture改为pictures 考查名词的单复数"take picture"意为:拍照;此处指的是他们在忙于给体育馆拍照,因此这里指的不只是一张照片;故用名词的复数pictures 8.将we改为they 考查人称代词根据上文可知,此处描述的应是:宏伟的体育馆给那些年轻的美国游客们留下了深刻的印象;故用they9.将But改为And 由于前一句表达的是美国游客对宏大的体育馆印象深刻;后一句表达了我因此而感到自豪,因此前后两句应表示并列关系;故用And10.将for改为to 考查固定短语的用法固定短语be attractive to sb.对某人有吸引力;故用to【解析】本文作者通过描述自己上周日在鸟巢遇见美国游客(也是北京语言大学的留学生)的经过,主要表达了自己对中国能够越来越受到外国人的青睐而感到自豪的心情.短文改错是集语法知识与语言技能为一体的综合性试题,主要考查学生对词汇、语法和语篇三要素的把握能力.错误类型一般有:缺词、多词和错词.常见的错误有:1 词法错误,主要包括动词、名词、冠词、形容词、副词、代词和介词等词类误用、同义词混淆使用、固定搭配等方面.解答此类试题时,需要正确分析句子成分,熟练掌握各词类的用法以及掌握一些固定搭配等.2 常见句法错误.通常表现为简单句、复合句以及疑问句、祈使句、感叹句和强调句等错误.解答此类试题时,需要掌握各类句子的句式结构及意义用法.3 应在理解文章大意的前提下,进行作答.五、完成句子(本大题共1小题,共1.0分)38.America's holiday shopping season started on Black Friday,the day afterThanksgiving.(36)______Shoppers make the most money this time of year,about 20 percent to 30 percent of all revenue all year.About 136 million people shopped during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.(37)______In an era of instant information,shoppers can use their mobile phones to find deals.Nearly 80 percent of this year's holiday shoppers,or about 183.8 million people,shopped on Cyber Monday.(38)______Online spending on Black Friday rose15 percent to hit 2.7 billion this year.Cyber Monday spending increased 12 percent to 3billion.NBC News reported that for many,shopping online was a more comfortable alternative than crowded malls.The shift to online shopping has had a big impact on solid shopping malls.Since 2010,more than 24 shopping malls have closed and an additional 60 are struggling.Fortune says the weakest of the malls have closed.However,the business in malls is thriving again,it adds.According to a survey,94.2percent of malls were full with shops by the end of 2014.(39)______The average American consumer will spend about 805ongifts.That'sabout630.5 billion between November and December-an increase of 3.7 percent from last year.(40)______That goes to China's Singles'Day,celebrated on November 11,which posted record sales of 14.3 billion in 2015.A.More and more people shop online nowadays.B.That is the highest level in 27 years.C.It is the busiest shopping day of the year.D.One-in-five Americans used a tablet or smart-phone.E.The traditional mall industry can hardly survive.F.Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday.G.Nonetheless,Cyber Monday is not the biggest online shopping day in the world.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】A【小题3】D【小题4】B【小题5】G【解析】36.C 根据下一句中的"Shoppers make the most money this time of year"可知黑色星期五是最繁忙的购物日,所以选C.37.A 下一句中的"Nearly 80 percent of this year's holiday shoppers"与A项中的"More and more people"构成对应,下一句中的"use their mobile phones"、"Cyber"和A项中的"shop online"构成对应,故选A.38.D 上一句中的"use their mobile phones"和D项中的"used a tablet or smart-phone"构成对应关系,所以选D.39.B 下一句中的"94.2 percent of malls were full with shops"与B项中的"the business in malls is thriving"构成对应关系,所以选B.40.G,G项与后一句的意思构成对比关系.G项的意思是这不是世界上最大的网上购物节,后一句的意思是世界上最大的网上购物节是中国的光棍节.文章大意:美国的购物季在感恩节之后开始,在这个新的信息时代,网购所占比例也越来越大.做题时需要明白整篇文章的主旨,文章整体的思路和每一段的用意以及作者写作的意图.花些时间理清段落之间和句子之间的逻辑关系也有助于帮助把握文章的整体结构和思路.六、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共1.0分)39.假设你是李华,你的加拿大朋友Daniel今年燕山大学毕业,他非常喜欢秦皇岛这个城市,正在纠结毕业后回国还是留在秦皇岛,他给你写信寻求建议,请你根据下面的提示给他回信.1.建议留下2.留下的好处(环境美,优惠政策等)3.美好祝愿要求100词左右;可适当增加细节以使行文连贯.Dear

2016年河北省高考英语第一次模拟试题及答案
2016年河北省高考英语第一次模拟试题及答案本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分,共150分,共13页。
第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(1—25小题)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 40分)第一节(15小题,每小题2分,共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。
AThey are the fashion statement loved by hip hop stars and rappers.But now it seems that grilles(金属网罩)—teeth jewellery loved by rappers such as Nelly—are not just about the way you look—you can use them to listen to music,too.A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin,of Parsons The New School for Design in New York,attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts,the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough,others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music.Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn.Chacin showed her device,called Play-A-Grill,at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said,“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable,and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth,sound can be spread using bone conduction hearinginstead of outside speakers or headphones.”21.When we use the grilles,we________.A.can sing to the musicB.can change songs using tonguesC.need to attach a digital music playerD.can hear songs through the outside ears22.Grilles are different from traditional music players because''''.A.they are able to play songs and music a lot more clearlyB.they make it unnecessary for listeners to wear headphonesC.they can play the music loud without interrupting other peopleD.songs coming out of our teeth seem to be sung by ourselves23.How did one of Chacin's friends feel when he heard the music?A.He felt satisfied.B.He felt interested.C.He felt convenient. D.He felt surprised.24.What's the dentists' attitude towards grilles?A.Negative. B.Positive.C.Cautious. D.Unsure.BI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签)everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.So we both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her screaming,“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up,she quicklycrawled(爬)under her covers,sobbing.Obviously,that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed,cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief.Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me,“Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn’t always agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in, cleaning up and holding on.25.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn’t find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.26.The author tidied up the room most probably because_____.A.she was scared by Kate’s angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so27.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.28.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be RoommatesCWashoe, a female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept.The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 29.As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A.some space researchB.a study on African animalsC.an ASL projectD.the program of training the Air Force30.In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A.was not successfulB.led to the book Next of KinC.won honor for FoutsD.made a difference31.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A.supported B. studiedC.questioned D. discussed32.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B.Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C.Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D.The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.DA 2-mile-wide tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday,killing at least 51 people including 20 children,destroying entire tracts of homes and trapping two dozen school children beneath rubble.Rescue teams raced against the setting sun and worked into the darkness in search of survivors as the dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters.The Oklahoma medical examiner confirmed 51 deaths including 20 children,making it the deadliest U.S.tornado since one killed 161 people in Joplin,Missouri.Area hospitals reported at least 230 people injured,including at least 45 children.Emergency crews searched the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School to look for two dozen missing children,Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb said.The school took a direct hit from the tornado,Lamb told CNN.Police and fire crews pulled some school children from the devastation,a KFOR television reporter said from the scene.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01 p.m.local time(4:01 p.m.EDT),which is greater than the average eight to ten minutes of warning,said Keli Pirtle,a spokeswoman for the center in Norman,Oklahoma.The U.S.Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)imposed a temporary flightrestriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area,saying it was at the request of local police who wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard,and the U.S.Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School,which also stood in the storm's path,was all but destroyed.On_the_first_floor,sections_of_walls_had_been_peeled_away,affording_clear_views_into_the_building,while in other areas,cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.While the school was a wreck,nearby playground clear equipment stood undamaged,though littered with rubble.Across the street,people picked through the remains of their homes,looking for any possessions they might salvage.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.33.From this passage we can infer that .A.this tornado is the most serious in history in the USAB.this tornado led to 20 school children deaths in OklahomaC.this tornado isn't the deadliest one in history in the USAD.this tornado hit entire tracts of homes and schools badly34.What does the author want to show us in the 6th paragraph?A.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center didn't provide the exact time for people.B.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado ahead of time.C.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center should warn people of the tornado ahead of eight to ten minutes.D.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado at 3:01 p.m.35.Why did the FAA impose a temporary flight restriction in Oklahoma?A.The weather there was not suitable for flight.B.The flights weren't allowed to pass over Oklahoma.C.People wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.D.The injured wanted quiet to have a good rest in hospitals.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。

I found one of the books I wanted, but not the other one my mother had discussed with me the other day. When I went to pay. I asked the clerk behind the counter if I could order the second book.A lady was standing in line behind me at the checkout. The clerk said she could order the book. but asked if I would mind letting the lady behind me pay for her purchases first. The lady behind me said no and that it was fine to wait.It took nearly 15 minutes to put my order through! The lady behind me chatted agreeably with us for the entire time. When it finally came time for me to pay, I placed two $10 off cards on the counter. The clerk informed me the offer was only valid(有效) for the book I was purchasing in-store and wouldn't work for the book I'd ordered. This meant that I'd have one $ 10 card left."You can come back and purchase another book." the clerk smiled. "The offer is valid until the end of the week."I thought about this for a millisecond and then turned around to face the lady behind me who'd been so patient, kind, and charming through the very long wait at the checkout. "Here." I gave her the $10 off card. She was very surprised and said. "Really?"The gift didn't cost me anything. I knew I wouldn't be back before the end of the week and it rewarded someone whose attitude left a smile in my heart. Most definitely a win-win moment.〔1〕What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.The author couldn't afford anything else but books as a birthday present.B.The book store had no suitable books available as a birthday present.C.Reading was probably appealing to the author and the mother alike.D.The author was a regular customer of the book store.〔2〕What did the author probably think of the clerk?A.Impolite.B.Considerate.D.Easy-going.〔3〕Why did the author offer to give away the extra $ 10 off card to the lady?A.The author was always very generous to strangers.B.The $ 10 off card would become invalid next week.C.The author believed the lady would smile at her/him.D.The author wanted to thank the lady for her kindness.〔4〕What is the best title for the text?A.Win win Moment at the BookstoreB.s Bread, AnotherC.Lovely Delay at the BookstoreD.Patience and Friendship Rewarded3.阅读理解On paper, hydrogen (H2) looks like a dream fuel. Coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide, which warms the earth when burned, Hydrogen produces pure water. Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery (but certainly less than petrol) . Also, empty tanks (燃料箱) can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity.While in practice, things are trickier. Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred-fold. Changing it into the liquid form is another option, but it should be cooled to-253C. Both processes require a heavy and strong tank. While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck, adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.The solution? Powerpaste.A German team of researchers, led by Marcus Vogt, have come up with an interesting "powerpaste", which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure, ready for release when needed. It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste (牙膏) , not in its traditional form of gas.The main ingredient (原料) of the paste is magnesium hydride, a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen. The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power.Refueling is very simple, as instead of going to a filling station, drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when avehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.However, we will have to be patient. Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon. It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.〔1〕As a fuel, what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil?A.Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient.B.It is less likely to worsen global warmingC.More energy can be packed in the same space.D.It will produce pure water for people to drink.〔2〕What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as fuel in small vehicles.B.The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles.C.The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones.D.The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles.〔3〕The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is______________.D.environment-friendly〔4〕Why does the author call on the readers to be patient?A.Powerpaste-driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road.B.Practical use of powerpaste-driven vehicles will not come very soon.C.Powerpaste-driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hoursD.It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste.4.阅读理解In our magazine's document room, from the June 1920 issue, I discovered a piece, What Editors Do, by Hazel Miller. What she talks about caught my eye: The first World War and its ending just two years before. "During 1917 and 1918, when the World War was going, there was a huge demand for war material," Miller writes. "Most magazines were carrying practically nothing but war stories. When the War ended in November, 1918, some editors still had a goodly supply of war fiction and articles—for which they had paid real money—on their hands, which most people by now are fed up with."Her words have stuck with me for the past 12 months as we've weighed which COVID-19 stories to run and which to hold. I'm writing these words with thick snow outside my window, but they will reach you in the green of spring. Will you be vaccinated(接种疫苗) and tired of reading about COVID-19 then?We say writing is an art, and publishing is a business, but I worry we forget that publishing is also a gamble(赌博), Except for the immediate publication, everyone in the industry—agents, acquiring editors, magazine and journal editors, etc.—are betting on a story's success in a future we cannot see. As is the nature of fortune telling, we are not so sure we will not occasionally lose: The 1920 editors sitting on a store of war stories no one wants, for example.With so many factors outside your control, and so much uncertainty in the industry, isn't it better to have stories written from the heart that you are truly enthusiastic about rather than some to please an ever-changing publishing market?My future reader, it's my hope that this issue finds you this spring doing just that: Writing the stories you needto tell—and the ones that will delight your own future readers for years to come.〔1〕What does the writer probably do?A.A journalist.B.An editor.C.A librarian.D.A historian.〔2〕What did Miller's words suggest?A.The First World War shouldn't have ended too soon.B.Some editors would make a great fortune by storing war materialC.In the post-war years, people still enjoyed reading about war.D.Too much war material had been stored by some editors.〔3〕The writer find Miller's words especially useful when_______.A.deciding which COVID-19 stories to publishB.writing during the winter monthsC.waiting for the green of springD.expecting to be vaccinated〔4〕What is the writer's message to the potential authors?A.To please the present publishing market.B.To learn the nature of fortune-tellingC.To control as many factors as possible.D.To write from the heart for the future readers.二、任务型阅读5.任务型阅读●They believe their opinion is factFor effective communication to take place it is important to be able to distinguish between opinion and fact.________But aggressive people take it one step further. They act as if their opinion is fact, which is telling others that their opinions are irrelevant(不相关的).●It's all about how it affects themWhen something goes wrong, or when considering potential consequences, aggressive people only consider how it influences them. The impact on others is irrelevant to them. ________I once knew a girl who, every time she had a quarrel with her boyfriend, used to wake her entire family up so she could tell them how she had been unjustly treated.●Rapid speech________They are determined to get their point across and have no desire to let the other person offer their input. They want total control of the conversation and are determined that the other person will hear what they have to say.●Aggressive talking; defensive listeningThis refers to the body language that they adopt when they are being aggressive.________They may point, spread feet apart with hands on the waist, etc. However, when the other person is speaking they will adopt a more defensive gesture e.g. crossing their arms.Being familiar with these signs will help you to recognize the aggression quickly, and you will then be able to manage the situation more appropriately.A. When talking they will likely lean forward.B. The following are some common signs of aggression.C. Aggressive people speak fast with little or no pauses.D. These people are not giving you the opportunity to decline.E. Offering a suggestion or thoughts on something that has happened is fine.F. Aggressive people rarely attempt to find workable solutions to problems in life.G. If something has negative consequences for them, everybody else is expected to suffer the consequences too.三、完形填空6.完形填空Yardley has a long history as a community that cares.

It used to be an ancient royal British libraryAnnie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. ”We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning, An nie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness, Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night, when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.“Dad, why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to ascientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.”Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then, with flashing in hand, they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.第4页(共23页)Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying, Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl,” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After looking more closely, Annie could see th at it was asmall owl. Sensing danger, the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled itsfeathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.Walking a little farther, they came to a tall oak tree. “This lo oks like a perfect spot to attract owls,” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recordingof common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking, “who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard areturn call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a hugebird landed very quietly on a branch above them.Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder, shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly tow feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl.24.Annie and her father went to the state park to _________.A. catch owlsB. collect information about owlsC. record the call of owlsD. carry out an experiment on owls25.With the help of ________, Annie could study the barren owl carefully.A. scientistsB. moonlightC. flashlightD. a recorder26.How did Annie feel when she saw the barren owl?A. BoredB. RelaxedC. FrightenedD. Amazed第5页(共23页)27.What would be the best title?A. The Owl CountB. A Study on OwlsC. Observation of BirdsD. A Cheerful Early MorningThere is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合) to their inner child.They feel ill equipped for parenthood, because they don’t see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young, besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in life. They are trying to live by not acting their age.As Ms Jane put it in her letter: I’m married, in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy: winning and dining,tasteful clothes, travel and a career. Why give up all these for a baby?It is reported that when asked whether they were adults, most people in their 20s answered they were not sure. This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living.Being a kidult is not all about being selfish, though. With the untold uncertainties of war, fluctuating(波动)markets, disease and terrorism, many see this world as a poor place to live in—let alone bring kids up in. This seems especially so in urban living. All anyone wants after a long, hard day at work is some peace and quiet.My classmate, Jenny, mused(沉思)recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids. Maybe they just loved having children around. Or maybe, in their own way, they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it.That’s how you, I and everyone know we have the chance to breathe air, touch grass and see sky. I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on.28.What is a kidult in the writer’s opinion?A. A person who doesn’t have a childB. An adult who actually has a psychology of a child第6页(共23页)C. A child who doesn’t want to grow upD. A person who doesn’t know that what values he has 29.What does the underlined word “paper” in Para. 4 mean?A. moneyB. reputationC.qualificationD. power30.The author explains the kidult phenomenon by ________.A. presenting research findingsB. making comparisonC. showing her own experienceD. using examples31.We can learn from the text that kidults________.A. know little what they can pass on to their childrenB. are sure of their abilities for good lifeC. living in urban can enjoy more peaceD. living in small towns know well what they’re living for33.短文改错第7页(共23页)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

I’d like to share something with you. Since the beginning of senior high, the learning burden makes us students feel more stressed. Many of us often sit up late at night fighting for the College Entrance Exam; even a ten-minute break won’t be let go.As far as I know, lack of sleep does great harm to our health. For one thing, we can’t concentrate in clas s if we don’t get enough sleep. For another, we may get angry and impatient easily. By the same token, a ten-minute break is definitely necessary, which can help us get rid of tiredness and focus on next class period. A famous proverb goes well, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. How about your situation and opinion?Looking forward to your reply.Text 1M: When will the train from Boston arrive?W: It was scheduled to be here at 9:15, but now it is expected to be 15 minutes behind schedule.Text 2M: You are such a busy woman, Carry.

Actually, I just hate to go to a party when I’m ill. I feel like I’m ruining everyone’s g ood time.Text 6W: Tomorrow’s your first day in your new job. You’re not going to wear that earring, are you?M: Why not?W: well, if I were you, I wouldn’t wear it. It may not be appropriate in the office. M: That’s crazy. What’s wrong with an earring?W: Nothing. But lots of people are old-fashioned and they don’t think men should wear earrings at the office.M: You’re only 28 and sound like my grandmother. In any case, I need to be who I am.Text 7W: Hi. What are you looking at?M: We are looking at the pictures of my new-born niece.W: Can I have a look?She is lovely. Look at her little face. She is so tiny. What is her name?M: Her name is Alice.W: Alice is a pretty name. Look at her eyes.M: They look light brown right now. She has her father’s ey es.W: She has big eyes. She is a beautiful little girl. Your brother and sister-in-law must be very proud.M: Yes. They are quite happy.Text 8W: Hi, Tom! What are you doing here?M: Looking at a road map of Florida. I’m taking a trip on my motorcycle.W: You have a new motorcycle?M: Not yet, But I am buying one.W: Really? Tell me about it.M:Check this out! It’s an ad in the newspaper. “For Sale: 2000 Honda 750 motorcycle for only 900! Call Howard 555-6233.” I can afford it! I have 900.W: Do you really want a motorcycle?M: I do. Oh, look at this, “Young black dog for sale.1-year-old. Very pretty and quiet. 400. Call 555-1298.”W: Oh. I really want a dog.M;I wish I can have a motorbike and a computer. But I can’t afford both. I can’t decide. W: Then don’t buy anything. Save your money!M: Maybe you are right.Text 9W: Excuse me,sir.M: Yes?W: Is this the right way to the Students’ Dining Hall? I’m new here. One of my friends teaches here.M: Well, let me think. Go along this road and walk across the playground. Then you’ll see the Teaching Building on your left. Go on until you see the Stu dents’ Apartment on your right. The Students’ dining hall is right next to it.W: How long can I get there on foot?M: It will take you about ten minutes.W: By the way, I want to go to the League Office after lunch. How could I get there, please? M: Go back to the Teaching building. Opposite the Teaching Building is the School Clinic Bu ilding.

You can’t miss it.W: Thanks a lot.M: You’re welcome.Text 10M: Well, I’d love to share with you something about my writing Career. I am Elwyn Brooks White.Someone asked where I got the idea for Stuart Litt le and for Charlotte’s Web. Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my farm is a very pleasant place to be. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation on a farm.Sometimes I’m asked what made me want to write. I started early—as soon as I could spell. I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in tryi ng to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead.主观题评分细则I. 语法知识填空:写对一题得1.5分,满分15分。

From your letter I know you are wondering whether to go back homeland or stay at Qinhuangdao city after graduation. Personally speaking, I’d like you to stay. For one reason, Qinhuangdao is in beautiful surroundings and it is also a vigorously-developing city where talented people are badly needed, so you can display your talents there as you like.For another, you can get preferential treatment given by the local government to the overseas graduates. Therefore, I think it’s a good choice for you to take Qinhuangdao as your starting point.I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you.Best wishes. May you have good luck and a bright future.YoursLiHuaTapescripts:Text 1W: Daniel, I think you must be looking forward to going to China for further study on Beijing Opera.M: Well, I ought to, but I am afraid I can’t do well because of my poor Chinese.

I mean I didn’t do a lot, but I bought a computer.W: You did? Thank goodness. Now you don’t need to borrow mine. You had it for two weeks last time.M: Yeah, so sorry about that.

When did you know you wanted to have your own company?M: My family left Budapest in 1986 and settled in Canada where a lot of my friends' parents were highly successful businessmen. It seems so cool, so in high school,I started a web-designed company and learned a lot from that experience.W: How did you find the money for your present company then?M: We’ve raised 18 million dollars from about 50 people. We’re finally making money.I own 6% of the company and all employees get their shares.W: By the way, what aspects of your life are green?M: I’m only mildly green.
