太原市2014年高三年级模拟试题（一）英语试卷（考试时间：下午2:30—4:30）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节：（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45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。

Some people have travelled to Canada while others may have just heard of it . As is known to all, the Canadian red and white maple leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada.The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background, with red borders down each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag. Canada is a very large country, too. It is the second largest country in the world.By contrast, it has a very small population. There are only about 29 million people there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin, and French is an official language as well English. About 45 % of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc, come from Britain. Nearly 30 % are of French origin. Most of theFrench-Canadians live in the province of quebec. Over the years people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world. They are mostly from European countries and also from China, as well as other Asian countries.However , Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive.Canadian-Indian lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today there are only 350,000 Canadian-Indians in the whole country, with their own language. In the far north live the Inuits.There are only 27, 000 Canadian-Inuits. Their life is hard in such a harsh climate.21. What is the population of Quebec?A. More than 29, 000.000B. About 30% of the total population.C. Over 45% of the total populationD. Less than 30% of the French-Canadians.22.Which of the following stands for Canada?23. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. The Canadian flag is twice as wide as its length.B. Most Indians are now forced to live along the coast.C. Nowadays Inuit still have difficult living conditions.D. Nobody existed when the Europeans began to arrive in Canada.BThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work.. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by moder living conditions.This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school.. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.24. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A. At about twenty-fiveB. In their earl fiftiesC. At the age of fifteenD. At any age from fifteen to forty-five25. What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900?A. The youngest child could live to fifteen.B. Four of five children died after they were five.C. Seven or eight children lived to be more than five.D. Some children died when the were very young.26. When she was over fifty , a late nineteenth-century mother ______.A. was usually expected to die firefly soonB. would expect to work until she diedC. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsD. was less like to find a job even if she wanted to27. What do we know from the passage?A. Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home.B. More and more women are looked down upon by husbands.C. Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs.D. A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children.CThe adder is the only poisonous snake native to Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most commons make in Britain is theadder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only te bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are fare more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-wight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.28. What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?A. Found outB. Heard fromC. Stepped on.D. Robbed of.29. Where are adders to be found?A. In fertile fields in Scotland.B. On wild land throughout Britain.C. In many parts of Britain and Ireland.D. Everywhere in Britain except Scotland30. What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?A. Catch the biting adder at once.B. Don’t worry about the bitten person.C. Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself.D. Operate on the person as soon as possible.31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Poisonous SnakesB. Adders in BritainC. Take Care of Sake BitesD. Protect Endangered AddersDMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. Ifthey do this,they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算).Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to payyour child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.32. Parents give their children allowances in order to _____.A. show off their wealth of familyB. let them make more moneyC. learn the value of moneyD. help children manage family finance33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The time to give allowances.B. The way to spend allowances.C. the amount of allowances given to children.D. Considerations taken to give allowances.34. Why are parents advised to offer young children allowances strictly as planned?A. To help children learn to make a budget.B. To have children save money for larger costs.C. To let children make fewer mistakes.D. To give them more allowances next time.35. What does the author intend to tell the readers?A. The methods of limiting allowances.B. The advice on a better family budget.C. Teaching children to use allowances wisely.D. Offering allowances to children properly.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

But when college officials always gave the same answer ?"That's not a problem here．"—Mahoney began to feel uneasy．"No crime whatever?" comments Mahoney today．"I just don't believe it．" Nor should he in 2007 the U．S．Department of Education had reports of nearly 400, 000 serious crimes on or around our campuses．"Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges, " says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus．"Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation．"But getting accurate information isn't easy．Colleges must report crime statistics （统计数字） by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous．"The truth may not always be obvious," warns S．Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc．, the nation's leading campus safety watchdog group．To help concerned parents．Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions．72．The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ______．A．to express the opinions of many parentsB．to choose a right one for their daughterC．to check the cost of college educationD．to find a right one near a large city73．It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges______．A．receive too many visitors B．mirror the rest of the nationC．hide the truth of campus crime D．have too many watchdog groups74．We learn from the text that "the honest ones" in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges ______．A．that are protected by campus security B．that report campus crimes by lawC．that are free from campuscrime D．they enjoy very good publicity75．What is the text mainly about?A．Exact campus crime statistics． B．Crimes on or around campuses．C．Effective solutions to campus crime． D．Concerns about kids' campus safety．第二卷（共35分）注意事项：1．第二卷共2页，用钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上，注意答题格式。

The National Christmas Tree Association says more than 35 million of them were bought last year in the United States.In large American cities, many people buy trees that have already been cut. But many people drive to a tree farm and cut them own tree. Some buy one from a catalogue or online, and the tree is then delivered to their home. It estimated that 10.9 million artificial trees were sold in 2012, comp ared to 24.5 million natural trees. The average cost of a natural tree was $40, and about $70 for a n artificial one.Most Christmas trees are now grown on farms. The trees take six to ten years to grow. In so me states, fewer than half of the planted trees survived the weather conditions to become Christmas trees. To make sure there is always a supply, farmers usually plant one to three new saplings for every tree they cut down.The Christmas Tree Association says real trees are better for the environment. That is because as Christmas trees grow, they collect carbon dioxide and other gases while supplying fresh oxyge n.The trees also protect water supplies.Christmas trees are grown on soil that does not support other crops. Some people throw away their natural tree when the holiday season ends. But many people recycle them. There are many ways to do this. Christmas trees can be cut up to be used as fertilizer. They can also be cut and used to prevent the wearing down of soil. Christmas trees helped many communities to prevent the sand from blowing away.Artificial trees, which are mostly made of plastics, can be reused for years. Families use them for an average of six to nine years before throwing them away. But these trees can remain in a l andfill（垃圾填埋场）for hundreds of years.28. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The lower pric e may contribute to people’s preference for natural trees.B. In 2012 more natural Christmas trees were sold than artificial ones.C.

Which of the following is TRUE about the real Christmas trees?A. Half of the young trees can become Christmas trees.B. It takes six to ten months for Christmas trees to grow.C. Farmers plant one new tree for each tree they cut down.D. Christmas trees are not grown together with other crops.30. What might be the author’s attitude toward the use of artificial Christmas trees?A. FavorableB. NegativeC. CasualD. Optimistic31.

They can be used to prevent the sand from blowing away.D. They can be cut up and used as firewood.解析：文章大意：真正的圣诞树和人工圣诞树的区别及利弊；28. A 推理题，根据原文第二段The average cost of a natural treewas $40, and about $70 for an artificial one.

山西省四校2014届高三2014月联考试题英语2

山西省四校2014届高三12月联考试题英语2高考英语2014-12-16 2242Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is a danger to the environment. There are several reasons for this. They are made from oil and gas, which are non—renewable resources. If they are not recycled, these resources are lost to us. In China, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day. An enormous number of these become litter. This is a huge problem because they last from 20 to 1,000 years in the environment. They float easily in the air and water and travel long distances. They find their way to rivers, parks, beaches and oceans. Plastic bags kill up to one million seabirds, 20140, 000 sea mammals and countless fish each year worldwide. It is up to people not to let plastic bags become litter. It would be better if they used fewer and recycled them.Cleaning up your cigarette butts and plastic bags would improve the environment. And we would know that we were doing something to look after our planet. However, I believe the best solution would be notto smoke or use plastic bags at all.64. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A B. C. D.( ①= paragraph 1; ②= paragraph 2; ③= paragraph 3; ④a paragraph 4 )65. The word “toxic” in the paragraph 2 most probably mean “-________”A.poisonousB. preciousC. extraD. useless66. From the text. we know the fact that_________A. Chinese smokers litter up to 4. 5 trillion butts every yearB. people in the world use 2 billion plastic bags in a single dayC. the butts can last 20 to 1,000 years in the environment of ChinaD. plastic bags cause 1 million deaths of seabirds each year worldwide67. What's probably the best title of the passage?A. Say Goodbye to SmokingB. Clean Up Your Butts and BagsC. Protect the Endangered Sea AnimalsD. Use Paper Bags NowDNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often theyrelive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that on ly the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They sa y that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them i n a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with ver y painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who weare. I'm not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would be come more and more common, “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researche r. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”68. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”A. the new drugB. the research into the drugC. the memoryD. the chemical in the drug69. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.B.Some memories can ruin people's life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.C.The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.D.The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.70. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?A. Our memories give us our identity.B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.71. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?A. People often suffer from bad memories.B. The nightmares are terrible.C. Forget bad memories and be happy.D. The research has caused a heated argument.EIf the world were a village of 1 000 people it would include·584 Asians·124 Africans·95 East ern and Western Europeans ·84 Latin Americans·55 former Soviets·52 North Americans·6 Australians and New ZealandersThe people of the village would speak·165 Mandarin·86 English·83 Hindu/Urdu·64 Spanish·58 Russian·37 ArabicThe above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65.Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modern equipment.This year 28 babies will be born.

Passenger pigeons（旅鸽） once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群） so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons﹣a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world．Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320 miles （about 515 kilometers） long was seen near Cincinnati．Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their ________．Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever﹣lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood, which scattered （驱散） the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again．In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900．For a time, a few birds survived under human care．The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914．（1）In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons________．A were the biggest bird in the worldB lived mainly in the south of AmericaC did great harm to the natural environmentD were the largest bird population in the US．（2）The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'________．A escapeB ruinC liberationD evolution．（3）What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？________A To seek pleasureB To save other birdsC To make moneyD To protect crops．．（4）What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？________A It was ignored by the publicB It was declared too late．C It was unfairD It was strict．13.A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip（鞭）and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve （e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more）—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become...take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.（1）Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A To show off his skills.B To trick the lion.C To get ready for a fight.D To entertain the audience.（2）In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A They feel puzzled over choices.B They hold on to the wrong things.C They find it hard to make changed.D They have to do something for show.（3）What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?A Tolerant.B Doubtful.C Respectful.D Supportive.（4）When the world is "waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to ________.A wait for a better chanceB break your old habitsC make a quick decisionD ask for clear guidance14.As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）.In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials—including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.【长难句分析】：Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition.翻译：耶鲁大学麦克米伦中心专门研究喜马拉雅山语言和口述传统的科学家马克·都灵遵循了这一传统。
