第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15个小题;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、D中,选出最佳选项。
AIn 1978,I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately,the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally,a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift,I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心)me I was safe,and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house,he made us sandwiches. After lunch,he helped me find a lift home.Twenty five years later,in 2003,while I was driving to a nearby town one day,I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat,trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk,the man said to me,“You haven't changed a bit,even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because ______.A.her work delayed her trip to SydneyB.she was going home for her holidaysC.the town was far away from SydneyD.she missed the only train back home2. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A.He helped the girl find a ride.B.He gave the girl a ride back home.C.He bought sandwiches for the girl.D.He watched the girl for three hours.3. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that ______.A.she realized he was GordonB.she had known him for decadesC.she was going to the nearby townD.she wanted to repay the favour she once got4. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A.Giving sometimes produces nice results.B.Those who give rides will be repaid.C.Good manners bring about happiness.D.People should offer free rides to others.BIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,“a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”.However,he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I'm not one to lie too often(I'd hate to be caught out),I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of people,I have read the book at number one,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven't read him,but haven't lied about it either)and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K. Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella(ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty--two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I'll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).5. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A.By judging his manner of speaking.B.By looking into his background.C.By mentioning a famous name.D.By discussing the book itself.6. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C.The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.7. By lying about reading,a person hopes to ______.A.control the conversationB.appear knowledgeableC.learn about the bookD.make more friends8. What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A.Favorable.B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful.D.Friendly.CGiven that many people's moods(情绪)are regulated(调节)by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made thechocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory,Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that's because Lee is not merely an experienced salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF's produce is “green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper,red bean(豆),cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.9. What is good about chocolate?A.It serves as a suitable gift.B.It works as an effective medicine.C.It helps improve the state of mind.D.It strengthens business relations.10. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A.He knows the importance of research.B.He learns from shops of similar types.C.He has the support of many big names.D.He has a lot of marketing experience.11. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A.The Connoisseur Series.B.The Exotic Series. C.The Alcohol Series.D.The Sichuan Series.12. The words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who______. A.are particular about chocolateB.know little about cocoa beansC.look down upon othersD.like to try new flavorsDI got my first driver's license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Mar yland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr.Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,”I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine, “I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?”He answered coldly, “It's the law,madam.”Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.“No,”I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left withoutaI called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Marylanddriver's exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken,13. Susan got her first driver's license ______.A.before she got married to HenryB.when she was twenty years oldC.after she finished high schoolD.when she just moved to Maryland14. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because ______. A.she was forbidden to drive by Maryland lawB.she lacked driving experience in MarylandC.she was to give birth to a baby soonD.she insisted on signing for herself15. We can infer from the text that in the U.S.______.A.American males should serve in the armyB.different states may have different lawsC.people have to renew their licenses in their home statesD.women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage第二节(共5个小题;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项。

I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. "Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her? " I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. "I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything. "She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.

Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.”Th e OED says that “couch potato” began as American slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society us es.”Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes.But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.“If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added. The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said.Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.60.British potato farmers wanted to _________.A.advertise their producesB.call for a higher price for their potatoesC.remove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionaryD.let people know how important the potato is in people’s lives61.The farmers think that _________.A.potatoes have had a bad imageB.Potatoes are good for people by natureC.potatoes sometimes do harm to peopleD.it’s the dictionary’s fault to use the expression “couch potato”62.John Simpson thinks that _________.A.the expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionaryB.dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society usesC.little-used words can remain in the smaller dictionariesD.it is impossible for them to take the expression out of the dictionary63.What is wrong with the expression “couch potato” according to the farmers in this passage? A.It is connected with unfavorable meaning.B.Potato should be used in the expression.C.It is borrowed from America English.D.It refers to a kind of person.CThe Booking Notes of the Play "the Age of Innocence"Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats fur performance:------in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.-------by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)------by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say that when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provisions to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as"beri-beri", which used to make large numbers of Eastern people who lived mainly on rice suffer. In the early years of last century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted by a germ (病菌) . He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had had the outer coverings removed from the grain, it was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was proved when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on remains from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to separate the germ, which he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ordered that the rice without coverings, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap, rough rice with the outer coverings still on the grain.Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unmilled rice (糙米) somehow prevented or cured beri-beri--even that a lack of some ingredient (成分) in the coverings may be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards separated from rice coverings and is now known as vitamin B. The milled rice, though more expensive, was in fact causing the disease the hospital was trying to cure. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.68.What does the underlined word restricted mean?A. balancedB. limitedC. diverseD. complex69.According to the passage, a good mixed diet .A. is suitable for losing weightB. should be only fruits and vegetablesC. normally contains enough vitaminsD. is often difficult to arrange70.What do we know about the disease beri-beri?A. It killed large numbers of people.B. It resulted from lack of vitamins.C. It was transmitted by milled rice.D. It was caused by diseased chickens.71 .What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Good Mixed DietB. The Importance of Unmilled RiceC. The Dangers of Beri-beriD. The Importance of VitaminsEAn idea came to me, and I turned off the lights in the studio.In the darkness, I took off my shirt and took up the cello (大提琴); it was the first time in my life I'd felt the instrument against my bare chest.I'd never thought about that; music scholars always talk about the resonating properties (共振)of various instruments, but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound.As I dug into the notes I imagined that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box; I seemed to be able to change the sound by the way I sat, and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body.After improvising for a while, I started playing, still in the darkness.I heard the music through my skin.For the first time I didn't think about how it would sound to anyone else, and slowly, joyfully, gratefully, I started to hear again.The notes sang out, first like a trickle:, then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up from a hole in the middle of a desert.After an hour or so I looked up, and in the darkness saw the outline of the cat sitting on the floor in front of me, cleaning her paws and purring loudly, I had an audience again, humble as it was.So that's what I do now with my cello.At least once a clay I find time to tune it, close my eyes and listen.It's probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I'd be thirsty for—years of playing badly have left scars on my technique—but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up to it.Occasionally I feel a stab of longing, and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before my lights blink off, but that longing passes more quickly now.I take comfort in the fact that, unlike the way I felt before, I can enjoy playing for myself now.I feel relaxed and expansive when I play, as if I could stretch out my arms and reach from one end of the apartment to the other.A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me up.72.The writer put the cello against his bare chest to ______.A.test music scholars' ideas about the resonating propertiesB.experience the effect of his body on the musical soundC.reduce his muscular tightness in his upper bodyD.check the function of the sound box73.In Paragraph 2 , the writer intends to ______.A.explain his feelings of playing before a catB.identify specific pieces of music he playedC.express his feelings of playing against his bodyD.describe the sound when he played against his body74.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer was ______.A.optimistic B.discouraged C.nervous D.enthusiastic75.The passage is mainly about _____.A.a musician playing the cello for an audienceB.a musician's feelings when playing the celloC.a musician finding joy in playing music in a new wayD.a musician's desire to return to his former profession第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下列短文,根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。

2015届高三第一次高考模拟考试英语试题Ⅰ语言知识及应用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)There are two factors which determine an individual‘s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ 1 , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a 2 he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to 3 . So the second factor is what happens to the individual —the sort of environ ment in which he is reared. If an individual is 4 environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is 5 .The importance of environment in determining an individual‘s intelligence can be 6 by the case history of Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at 7 ,and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in 8 foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated communit y with poor 9 opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to c ollege. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every 10 to be stimulated intellec tually. This environmental 11 continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were giv en tests to 12 their intelligence. Mark‗s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average a nd 13 forty points higher than his identical brother.Given the 14 opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at 15 the same level.1.

My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. Summer after summer, I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in. People knew everyone, their kids, their pets, their ancestors. The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting. She would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties. She'd make beautiful quilts for each one. I remember the small thimble (顶针)she would use while doing her needle work.A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth, I bid farewell to a loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change. We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday.I missed her very much. On one particular birthday, when I was feeling a littlelow, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (接缝) that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble! How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her. Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I've collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me. What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow.I made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and enjoyed my tea and Grandma's thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!(1)The author wrote this passage to________.A call on people to care for the oldB express a desire to lead a simple lifeC show she missed living with her grandmaD recall her happy childhood.(2)The author liked staying with her grandparents because________.A they often bought her some giftsB she could learn to sew quiltsC she could have tea parties and eat sandwichesD she was curious about people and things there.(3)How did the author feel when she found the silver thimble?________A Sad.B Cheerful.C Lucky.D Proud..(4)It can be inferred from the passage that the silver thimble________.A was very precious to the authorB was the most treasured possession ofGrandma C was the item the author had been trying to find D was a birthday gift Grandma had given the author.25. Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness(警觉). paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we bestperform specific tasks.The reality, however, is that most of us organize their time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast﹣paced modem society.But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor. When the body clock can synchronize(使……同步)the rhythms of its natural processes, it "gives us an advantage in daily life", says Key.According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve.However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around2pm, making that a good time for a nap.Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.When choosing a time of day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improve results. Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, a professor of biomedical engineering.Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.(1)If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can.________A organize our time around work demandsB find out the suitable time to do specific tasksC do whatever our body feels like doingD be sure to be healthy.(2)Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us________.A when we get up in the morningB when we are full of energy in the latemorning C when we are tired in the evening D when we are asleep at night.(3)The main purpose of the passage is to________.A criticizeB persuadeC encourageD inform.(4)Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?________A Something About Natural Body RhythmB Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad ForUs. C What Is Natural Body Rhythm? D All The Research About Natural Body Rhythm.26. About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin (鱼翅), a survey has found. Although the controversial dish remains on the menu at most hotels, Green Beagle Environment Institute, a Beijing﹣based non﹣government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey, said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness.The survey was carried out in Beijing, Shenzhen and Fuzhou, which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide. In Beijing, 132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov. 20and Dec. 12.0nly 12 hotels, 9 percent, said they do not serve shark fin. A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin, WangXue, chief coordinator (协调人) of the survey, said on Saturday. In Shenzhen, four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin, accounting for about 5 percent. In Fuzhou, only one of the 40hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin. On average, about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food."The survey reminded us there is still a long way to go to remove shark fins from Chinese hotels and restaurants, but the improved situation in Beijing is encouraging, " said Wang. "We found more hotels and restaurants were willing to take action over the past year." International hotels are more active in the "shark﹣fin﹣free" project, she noted. China is the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin, which has been used in luxurious Chinese dishes for 500 years. Dishes made from shark fin are still regarded as a symbol of honor and respect, especially at business dinners, according to Wang.Research has also found that shark fin contains poisonous elements, but the nutritious value is less than that of chicken or pork. "We hope hotels and restaurants remove shark fin products from their menus, " Wang added.(1)Why do Chinese people like eating shark fin?________A Shark fin stands for honor and respect in China.B Shark fin is rich in a variety of nutrition.C The living standard of Chinese is much better than before.D Shark fin can make people live longer..(2)In which way was the survey carried out?________A Interviewing on the spot.B Phone questionnaire.C Filling theforms. D Talk show..(3)According to the text, which city did the best this year?________A ShanghaiB ShenzhenC FuzhouD Beijing.(4)The author wants to tell us________.A the opinions divided on consuming shark finB Chinese people' taste of sharkfin C the appeal to hotels and restaurants for stopping serving shark fin D the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.选项中有一项为多余项.27. A. Find inspiration around youB. Spare no efforts to achieve your goalC. Hold a positive attitudeD. Break the routineE. Find a reason in everything you doF. Take care of your health(1)_______You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are not motivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts play a major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reach for your dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand, or you can reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.(2)_______Whether it is nature's beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a better life, so strive (力争) to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.(3)_______One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities, learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.(4)_______A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack of motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (处理) life's challenges each day.(5)_______Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your life each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating (致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself. No matter what challenges you have to face,for as long as you know that you are doing it for someone you love, you will find yourself motivated to do it.第三部分写作(共三节)第一节单词拼写(共10题;每小题1分,满分10分)根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词,在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式,每空只写一词.28.

高中英语真题:高级中学2015届高三第一次模拟考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even reali ze that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I gr ew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.22. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?A.Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.23. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and Music.2.I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.25. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.A. is not used to the life there nowB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there26. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?A. In a cafe.B. In a restaurant.C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub.27. The underl ined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.A. a taxiB. the moneyC. a bombD. public transport28. The writer took her neighbors to France for Christmas because he ______.A. felt lonely in EnglandB. had never been to FranceC. was from a typical French familyD. didn't like the British idea of family3. Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that wassmall and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.29. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the authorA. discussed his decision with his family.B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends30. In his application for the volunteer job, the authorA. participated in many discussionsB. went through some interviews and presentationsC. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD. faced strong competition from other candidates31. On arrival at the village, the author wasA. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.4.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. Thisweekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn fr om the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did man age to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now k nown as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past GrantChester in the south Cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.32. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.A. attending the masters’ classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition33. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts34. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180535. In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord ByronC. located in Grant ChesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf二、阅读填空(共2题)1.All over the world people enjoy sports.

AIf the word researcher brings to mind someone who works in a laboratory doing experiments or reads a11 day in a librar y,then meet Dr.Sylvia Earle.Dr.Earle has carried out much of her research deep under the sea.Her outstanding work at sea ha s included leading around 70 expeditions(探索)and spending over 6,500 hours under the water. She also holds the world record for the deepest walk alone on the ocean floor at a depth of 381 metres.It’s no wonder she ha s been given the nickname“Her Deepness”.As a child,Dr.Earle was always interested in wildlife and was never afraid to find out about nature.Her parents told her to touch animals and insects,and not to be afraid of them.When she was older,she was given the opportunity to develop this int erest thanks to scho1arships to study botany at university.She also took courses in sea diving and decided to devote herself t o marine(海洋的)biology.It was this decision and her determined character that led her to have a truly remarkable career.After several years of diving,Dr.Earle took part in a research expedition in an underwater laboratory.The laboratory was called a Tektite Habitat and it allowed divers to remain under the water to carry out research for weeks at a time.In 1970 an all-female group went on the sixth expedition of the Tektite II scientists-in-the-water programme.Dr.Earle was asked to lead the expedition.Along with another four women-three scientists and an engineer-she stayed in the Tektite Habitat for two wee ks.Marine life has always been at the centre of Dr.Earle’s work and she is highly respected for her authority in this field.She i s often asked to give talks by environmental groups about marine life as well as her plan to create a global network of marin e protected areas. What makes her extra special is that she doesn’t look upon her work as a job,but as her vocation(天职)in life.21.In what way is Dr.Earle different from most researchers we know about?A.She works in a laboratory doing experiments all day.B.She reads all day in a library.C.She carries out much of her research deep under the sea.D.She has broken lots of world records.22.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.Dr.Earle’s interest in wildlife led her to a truly remarkable career.B.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to her family background.C.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to the scholarships to study botany at university.D.V arious factors have contributed to Dr.Earle’s success.23.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3?A.Five women took part in the expedition.B.Five scientists took part in the expedition.C.Dr.Earle was an ordinary member of the group.D.The group stayed under water for three weeks.24.What does Dr.Earle hope to achieve in the future?A.To keep marine life at the centre of her work.B.To create protected areas in the oceans around the world.C.To travel around the world giving talks.D.To look upon her work as her vocation in life.BA paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped()shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper toget her.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention co me from?In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an ine xpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the ter,as steelvwire became more common,invent ors began to notice its elastic()feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-like objects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler’s clips were not the same as the paperclips curr entlyin use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manuf acturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occu pied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(),such as buttons wi th the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant papercli p statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler—even though his design was never actually produced.25.According to the first paragraphthe paperclip is________.A.made of paperB.for holding clothes togetherC.shaped like a pinD.inexpensive and useful26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is that_________A.it is cheaperB.it is simplerC.it doesn’t damage the paperD.it can be removed more easily27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?28.The last paragraph is mainly about_________.A.how widely used Vaaler’s clip isB.how V aalers clip became a national symbolC.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian peopleD.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttonsCI was born on the last day of February.I’ve always felt sorry for February,squeezed between the big months of January( named for the Roman god Janus,keeper of gateways)and March(after Mars,the god of war).The first Roman calendar,it is said,had 10 months and no February.Beginning at the vernal equinox()with March,i t ended with December.In an agricultural society,winter was of little importance,and thus went undivided.January and February were added about 700 B.C.by the second king of Rome,Numa Pompilius.He made all the months 29 or 31 days,but shortened February,the last month of the year,by giving it only 28.Next,it was the church’s turn.In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII announced a new calendar in Europe.Many changes were ma de,but the Pope passed up yet another chance to give February equality with the other months.It’s messy,even dangerous,changing how we measure time,but Pope Gregory was hardly the last one to try.The League o f Nations received over 150 new calendar designs,and the United Nations has considered more proposals since.Each propos al involves something that supposedly modernizes the calendar.But I have a simpler proposal that won’t lead to chaos,and will correct the historical injustices against Februarymove the last day of January and the last day of March into February to make it a normal month with 30 days,and a respecta ble 31 on leap years().This would not add or subtract a single day from the calendar year.It’s a great idea.And unlike J ulius and Augustus,I won’t even demand a month named in my honor.29.The first Roman calendar had only 10 months because_________.A.February hated to be squeezed between the big monthsB.the god of war always fought with January and FebruaryC.the Romans did not like the cold winter weatherD.it was Considered unnecessary to divide winter30.Which of the following is closest to Numa Pompilius’calendar?31.The writer sounds_____in the passage.A.sadB.humorousC.happyD. angryDOne important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter’s kindergarten report car d.She got high praise for her reading,vocabulary and overall enthusiasm.On the other hand,We learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and computer skills,though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words tha t might be interpreted as negative()in describing her efforts.A number System indicates how she’s measuring up in e ach area without any mention of passing or failing.The debate over whether formal grades should be given to kids has long existed.At one level,the advantages and disadva ntages are obvious.A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing a t school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes,Grades can deceive. ()The aim should be”to measure learning,not simply what a student can remember on a test.”The two aren’t the same-and if you doubt that as an adult,ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-s chool-level examinations.If you’re old enough,You’ve lived through this debate before.At one time,it was considered unfair to put children in dire ct competition with one another if it could be avoided.The intention behind that may have been good,but it ignored the fact t hat competition,and the will to come out on top,are essential components of the human condition.32.Which of the following seems to be weak on the daughter’s kindergarten report card?A.Reading.B.V ocabulary.C.Enthusiasm.D.Numbers.33.what did the teachers try to do when preparing the report card?A.Avoid using negative words.B.Describe the facts as they really were.e numbers instead of words.D.Avoid showing weak areas.34.What does the writer suggest by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A.Most adults can pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.B.There’s no doubt that most high-school-level examinations measure learning.C.As an adult,you should not doubt your ability to pass high-school-level examinations.D.It’s difficult for most adults to pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?A.Schools should not give formal grades to kids.B.Schools should give formal grades to kids.C.Giving formal grades to kids has no disadvantages at a11.D.It’s unfair to put children in direct competition with one another.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。
