Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 19 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 20 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 21 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 22 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 23 fake （假货）. When he was 24 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 25 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 26 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 27 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 28 . For many times of entry-exit 29 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 30 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 31 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 32 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 33 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 34 , which he would remember as the 35 of his success forever.16. . set up B. took up C. went up D. picked up17. . honors B. mentions C. brings D. owes18. . decided B. refused C. objected D. asked19. . books B. things C. savings D. pounds20. . ordinary B. routine C. regular D. common21. . look B. inspection C. test D. experiment22. . one B. it C. them D. these23. . priceless B. useful C. worthless D. valuable24. . afraid B. proud C. ashamed D. hard25. . that B. what C. as D. which26. . on B. at C. who D. in27. . disappointed B. delighted C. amazed D. satisfied28. . strictly B. quietly C. quickly D. curiously29.

Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten fold in some cities.Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province，faced sudden shortages.The government took measures to guarantee enough supply and to stabilize（稳定）the market. It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout was unlikely to reach the country, and that salt did not help to prevent radiation poisoning.Local authorities have stepped in to stabilize the market, too. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.Wang Yun, the General Manager of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, "Our storage reserves can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market."36．People made panic purchases of salt for the reasons EXCEPT______________.A. salt might protect them from po tential nuclear radiation. nuclear radiation might pollute food sourcesC. nuclear radiation might pollute salt taken from the seaD. there would be a shortage of salt on the market37．The underlined word “fold” in the third paragraph means _______.A. times . prices C. quantities D. means38．What measures did the government take for the panic buying?A. Enough salt would be offered to each house.. It admitted that salt could stop nuclear radiation.C. Authorities urged state-owned salt companies to increase the supply.D. Those who spread the rumor were all arrested and punished.39．What is the purpose of the writer to give the example of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation?A. To tell readers that there is a salt company in beijing.. To make people believe that the supply of salt is enough.C. To call on panic people to buy enough salt.D. To prove what the government did was right.Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?Today I looked up the word “hero” in th e dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. Wh en I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".40. The main idea of the passage is _______________.A. why the writer should be a hero . what a hero exactly isC. whether the writer is a heroD. that everyone is a hero41. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A. ecause his story saved her so n’s life.. ecause he saved a family from a burning car.C. ecause he asked her son not to kill himself.D. ecause he was cute and kind to everybody.42. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The wonderful card the writer received 。

2012年高考英语模拟试卷6--
2012年高考英语模拟试卷6--2012年高考英语模拟试卷第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）AThe pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti are chanting．One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin．Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school headteachers in the country．Today, over 70% of Haitian population live without proper food, water, schools, or housing．To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are provided by the World Food Programme．"We are so cut off that we have many difficulties," comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school books and other materials is practically impossible．Emile tries to encourage people around her to make use of available resources．Her efforts are bearing fruit．One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children' sschooling and increase their income by selling embroidery（刺绣）and other handicrafts．Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested （投资）in education for ten years．Only 44% of children go to school and less than half of them finish primary school. Less than a third of these children go on to secondary school．In rural areas it is not rare to find 17 and 18 year olds in primary school- Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils．Emile works constantly to improve her pupils' environment．Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a store house for the food delivered regularly by the WFP．Not only is Emile' s salary small, but she receives it irregularly．For her, transport is a real headache．She lives five kilometers away and has to take the tap tap, a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford．"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly" , Emilecomments．"With all the sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it．" However, Emile loves her job．"I always feel at home with the children and, because the parents understand what I'm doing, I try to give my best．"56．Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school? A．Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts．B．Persuading local women to care about their children' s education．C．Encouraging people around to use those available resources．D．Finding chalk, school books and other materials．57．The many figures in Paragraph 4 indicate _____．A．poor investment in Haitian educationB．political instability in Haiti C．challenges in Emile' s lifeD．Emile' s constant efforts58．In the last paragraph, "those who are really cut out for teaching" refer to people who are _____．A．dismissed from teachingB．unfamiliar with teaching C．qualified for teachingD．cautious about teaching 59．What topic is presented in this passage? A．Hardship for teachers．B．Devotion to education．C．Politics and children．D．Love and beauty．BAni—mazing Animation ContestAni—mazing is proud to announce its second animation （动画片）contest to introduce new animation talents to the world．Contest entries （参赛作品）will be shown at the West Coast Animation Exhibition from September 20．The exhibition will last for a week．Winners will be determined by a group ofAnimation Industry experts who will review every entry．The result will be announced on September 28 , 2011, when the awards ceremony will be held at the world - famous Egyptian Theatre, in Hollywood．We are also planning to have a number of programs leading up to September 28, so hopefully this second year will be a " Week of Animated Shorts"．Cash prizes ranging from $500 to $5,000 will be awarded, as well as giveaways such as animation software packages, resort trips and computer equipment．Please review these guidelines before sending your entry in:1．There are no restrictions on animation technique, no age limits or education requirements．All animated films must be more than one minute long．2．All entries must be original and have received no major award before submitting to Ani - mazing．Both computer and hand animation is accepted．3．Keep in mind that your animation will be viewed by an all - ages audience.Ani—mazing reserves the right to rejectentries containing inappropriate subjectmatter．4．More than one entries is allowed, however, all entries must be the work ofnonprofessionals．Time limits may preventus from exhibiting all of the entries received, so please choose one animation to be yourprimary entry．5．All entries must be handed in by July 30．If you have trouble making this deadline,contact us and we will consider extendingthe deadline for you．6．Please send a copy of your animation, not the original．We will not be able to returnmedia to you．7．Your entry MUST include your name, age, educational background, contactinformation, and length of the animation．60．Why will the animation contest be held?A．To collect works for an animationexhibition．B．To attract more people to a course．C．To find new animation talents．D．To increase people' s awareness aboutanimation．61．Which of the following meets the requirements of the contest?A．An animation made by hand．B．An animation lasting 50 seconds．C．An animation winning an award last year．D．An animation downloaded from theInternet．62．What is the deadline for entry? A．September 27．B．September 20．C．July 30．D．September 28．CNo one wants to be tested．We would all like to get a driver' s license without answeringquestions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car．Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam．But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life．They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals．In schools too exams play a．constructive role．They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off．They tell teachers what their students have learned——and have not．They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age．They encourage students to make more effort．It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high - quality education．The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actuallylearned．Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed—down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language．This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education．Every child should have access to a high - quality education．Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family．In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests．Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after - school classes and summer programs．In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education．Performance in education means themastery of both knowledge and skills．This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children．And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from high school．63．According to the passage, school exams enable ______．A．governments to make right policies B．students to meet their teachers' requirementsC．teachers to understand if their students have made effortsD．parents to compare their kids' achievements across schools 64．"Dumbed - down programs" in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which . A．lead to high - quality educationB．are less academically challengingC．are intended for intelligent students D．enable children to make steady progress65．Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A．Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests．B．Tests should focus on what students have actually learned．C．Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education．D．Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones．66．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To re - assess the value of IQ testing．B．To defend the role of testing in education．C．To explain what high - quality education means．D．To call for thorough and complete reform in education．DIn a natural disaster—a hurricane, flood, volcanic eruption, or other catastrophes—minutes and even seconds of warning can makethe difference between life and death．Because of this, scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen．They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained．On September 29, 1998, Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi, Mississippi, after damaging Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and several islands of the Caribbean badly with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km per hour．Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States, although hundreds died in the Caribbean．This was a very different outcome from 1900, when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston, Texas, killing at least 6,000 people．Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century——residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm wasapproaching, while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance, allowing for extensive safety precautions （预防）．At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning, some residents of New Orleans, Louisiana were less satisfied．A day before Georges made landfall, forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans．Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level, the city is at risk for flooding．Emergency management officials must begin evacuations （疏散）well before a storm strikes．But evacuation costs money: businesses close, tourists leave, and citizens take precautionary measures．The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city' s preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million．After Georges missed New Orleans, some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs．The different views on the early warningsfor Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters．Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions．67．What is the purpose of disaster prediction according to the passage?A．To identify the cause of disasters．B．To save people' s lives and property．C．To prevent natural disasters from happening,D．To apply advanced technology to disaster prediction．68．Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage?A．Puerto Rico．B．New Orleans．C．Biloxi, Mississippi．D．Galveston, Texas．69．The city residents of New Orleans wereunsatisfied because __ _ .A．their preparations were made in vain B．the hurricane warning arrived rather late C．the forecast hurricane did not hit the city D．they suffered from a heavy hurricane attack70．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The different ways of disaster prediction．B．Technological advances in disaster prediction．C．The benefits and preparations of disaster prediction．D．The importance and uncertainty of disaster prediction．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。

Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, th e mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(湿气) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!61. The writer is worried about Mount Kilimanjaro’s ________.A. great heightB. extinct volcanoC. rainforestsD. white snow cap62.
