They help to build America‟s first transcontinental railroad between 1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.B ill Yee‟s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America during the…gold rush‟days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee‟s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860‟s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together with out the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.24. What do you know about Bill Yee?A. His family was rich in the 1860‟s.B. His father settled in the USA.C. He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.D. His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.25. According to Bill Yee, many Chinese went to America in the 1860‟s mainly .A. to run their own businessesB. to find their ancestorsC. to make a livingD. to dig gold26. According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin, .A. the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good lifeB. they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workersC. some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in ChinaD. some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US27. Why did Stanford University carry out the project?A. Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers‟ descendants to get together.B. Becau se they want to show the importance of America‟s first transcontinental railroad.C. Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past in America.D.Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers‟ role in US history.C（2015•四川省成都七中高三一诊模拟）You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything.Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.But that‟s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us ab out danger. Without fear, we wouldn‟t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.In addition, when you‟re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you‟ll see lots of smiles and high fives,”Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don‟t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.28. What is the article mainly about?A. People‟s misundersta ndings about fear.B. Different ways to deal with fear.C. The benefits fear brings us.D. A new study about fear.29. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?A. It improves people‟s ability to survive in the modern world.B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.30. The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to _________.A. get closer toB. fight againstC. pay attention toD. be more careful with31. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.B. Experience it as often as possible.C. Consider it as a sign of weakness. .D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.D（2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试）If I asked you to sit down and remember a list ofphone numbers or a series of facts, how would yo u go about it? There‟s a fair chance that you‟d be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we don’t have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being‟ personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large is learning. We‟re actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven‟t yet learnt. It‟s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success ---for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn‟t have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you‟ve learnt them, but you should keep testing what you‟ve learn t if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there‟s more to testing than finding out what studentsknows --tests can also help us remember.32. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because_______.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don‟t understand well what we are learningC. we don‟t know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones33. 64. The researchers‟ experiment wa s intended to _______.A. confirm we don‟t know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing34. What does the authour believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you‟re poor at.D. Strong desire fr grasping new knowledge.35. The proper title for the passage is ________.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD.

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。

Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in , . There were no Christmas carolers(唱颂歌的人) walking in these streets that were lined with boarded-up(用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children c lose as they hurried down in the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but the bright sun couldn’t warm the place.Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one house and our gr oup knocked on the door. Our arms were filled with ham, brea d and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhau sted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to b e caught in her nightgown(睡衣) with undone hair. She was in her late-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years.“Sacred Heart food deliver service,” I smiled. “ Where can we put this for you? ”She pointed to a place and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions of the house they lived in. The children climbe d around, wearing only diapers(尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our fe et. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart san k. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was th e reality for this family. We set boxes down and the mother gr abbed my hand.“You don’t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family,” she said, crying. “We are just getting by.” I opened my arms and gave her a hug.“Happy holidays!” I replied before I headed out the door. I real ized how warm I felt inside.This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.61.

The new terms include weixin, or WeChat etc. There are also some older words recently used again and repurpos ed for contemporary(当代的) use, such as tuhao. Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel, tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in : people who are “extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values.”But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut, while other popul ar terms were shut out? Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi, shengnü, and baifumei.Li Xingjian, the chief editor of the dictionary, said about 30 lan guage experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms. They took into account three main considerations: whether the term has entered public topic, whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a m inimum level of tastefulness.“We considered and discussed a huge list,” Mr. Li said. “A ter m like diaosi is not very tasteful, and it’s unlikely to be used fo r much longer. And shengnü, we thought it wasn’t that signific ant. It’s used a lot by young people online, but otherwise peop le don’t really use it.”“On the other hand, tuhao has always been around. It has a mocking(嘲弄的) meaning, but it’s not necessarily negative,” he said. “We t hink it’ll stay around for a while, because in real life there reall y are these kinds of people and therefore a need to describe t hem.”The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese, first published in 2004, is appreciated especially by scholars and those interes ted in contemporary usage. But it is not the first reference dicti onary in . That honor still goes to the New China Character Di ctionary and the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised, with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones. 66. What does the underlined words phrase “make the cut” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Select.B. Exclude.C. Replace.D. Explain.67. How many aspects were taken into consideration to choose the new terms for the dictionary?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.68. Why was shengnü not chosen into the new Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese?A. Because it is never used in their daily life.B. Because it is not popular on the Internet these days.C. Because it is neither tasteful nor likely to endure long.D. Because it is not so important and is mainly used onli ne by young people.69. Which is NOT True according to the passage?A. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese was first publi shed in 2004.B. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is the first refe rence dictionary.C. The term tuhao will exist for some time.D. About 30 language experts worked for over three years to choose the new terms.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chine se is revised.B. People think differently about the newly chosen terms.C. Many new terms were chosen into the Dictionary of Moder n Standard Chinese.D. The language experts think highly of newly chosen terms.Part Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered b lanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educatin g their children. Not caring about the money, parents often se nd their children to the best schools or even abroad to Englan d, the US or . They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrum ent or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start i n life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an educat ion is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable am ount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best educat ion they can give to their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in som e areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teachi ng them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooki ng, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that h e will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always t ries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of con fidence. These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more impo rtant.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questionsaccording to the information given in the passage.At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people ha ve been injured in a stampede that broke out during a New Ye ar Eve celebration in downtown , which may have been cause d by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the b alcony of a building.Survivors described the stampede as “horrible and hellish.”A woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her ar ms in the chaos. Her son followed her. Dirty shoe prints cover ed her son’s clothes when the 12-year-old boy came to safety.“The crowd was in a panic. We stood in the crowd, feeling squ eezed and almost out of breath,” a boy said. “Some yelled for help, but the noise was too loud.”Other survivors said police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out people who were stuck, but without much success. The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai-based . The student, surnamed Du from , was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital.“The chaos lasted several minutes, and then some of the injur ed were seen being carried out of the crowd,” Yu said. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an imm ediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future.The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to d eal with the aftermath.Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in , the world's most populous country. Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures.In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in after a stairway was blocked. In January 2014, a mosque(清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ni ngxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 2004, a stampede on a brid ge in suburban killed 37 during a local lantern festival.81. How did the boy feel in the crowd?(No more than 12 words)(3 marks)82.

Dear Editor, We took part in a voluntary activity organized by our school last Sunday. We gathered at the Peace Square, passing leaflets to passers-by from which they can learn what the earthquake is and how to protect themselves against the earthquake. The leaflets drew the attention of the public to the damage that an earthquake can cause and told them to take action in a right and efficient way. Some made a public speech, telling people about the best place they can hide in when an earthquake occurs.

2015届新课标卷高三模拟英语试题(二)
Reading ComprehensionAOctober 21 was a very dark day in Texas．Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes，it caused the largest business damage in Texas‟s history．The worst thing is Hanna‟s destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines．According to Center Point Energy，Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers．Currently, more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark．Crews have worked 16-hour shifts to restore power to residents．Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal．Schools，restaurants，retail stores and gas stations are open．Smiles are back．But harder-hit places，including Galveston，will take much longer to recover. Hundreds of people are still missing，and coastal towns are a mess．Some ruins from storm have drifted south to other beaches in Texas．Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage．Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13．Many school supplies were destroyed．Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston，Texas．This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying．Believe it or not，Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing．When Paula was a girl，she was an orphan，but was taken in by her stepmom，Antonia Flores．Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years．Before the hurricane，Reed and her family moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter．There，she reunited with Flores after 30 long years! The moment they saw each other, their lives were changed．21．What‟s the most serious damage caused by Hurricane Hanna?A．Hundreds of people are still missing．B．A large number of people are homeless．C．Power facilities are severely destroyed．D．Factories are closed and many people jobless．22．It can be inferred that the residents in Houston________．A．have fully recovered from the disasterB．were the most unlucky people in the disasterC．need a long time to bring their life back to normalD．suffered less from Hanna than people in Galveston23．Kids in public schools in other areas of Houston will have to stay at home for_______ A．at least one month B．at least three weeksC．two weeks at most D．nearly half a month24．Paula Reed and her family consider the hurricane a blessing because_______ A．they had nothing lost after Hurricane HannaB．they lived a happier life in San Antonio shelterC．Paula was taken good care of in the shelterD．Paula reunited with her stepmother after three decadesThe International Painting Contest on Google‟s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange，but it spotlights a very serious issue：clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island．Audrey Zhang，a fifth-grader from Levittown, N.Y, is the winner of this year‟s Doodle 4 Google contest，rising to the top of some 100，000 entries on the theme of “draw one thing to make the world a better place.”Her piece，titled “Back to Mother Nature,”describes a detailed water-cleaning machine．Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生动)her drawing．“To make the world a better place，I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,” Google quoted Zhang as saying．“It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers，lakes and even oceans，then massively transforms the water into clean，safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons．Zhang‟s piece is“so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,‟‟ Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post．“Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”Along with h aving her artwork featured on Google‟s homepage，Zhang wins a $30,000 college scholarship．In addition，her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant，and the company is donating $20,000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh．On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net，Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win，but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight．“I have school tomorrow, so I can‟t st ay up late,” she told the paper．25．What‟s the passage mainly about?A．The winner and her work in the painting

Gates has one regret．The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages．Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网)，the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French，Arabic or Chinese．He said, “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary．I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest．I did Duolingo for a while but didn‟t keep it up.”Gates，who is worth $79.3 billion，praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese．“Mark Zuckerberg amazingly leamed Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn‟t it?” he said．This isn‟t the first tim e for Gates to admit his regret over language．He also showed his habits at home and personal insights．Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife，Melinda，would likely want Samuel L．Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片)．He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street．As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time，he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food，but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis．When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way，the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break．……Don‟t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting．You will regret it in the morning．Pam still working on this problem，”he said．28．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．An Interview with Bill Gates B．How Bill Gates SucceededC．Bill Gates‟ Regret D．The Richest Billionaire29．The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____．A．it is important to lay a good

Gates is also the founder of FacebookB．Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times．C．Bill Gates was good at learning languages in high schoo1．D．Bill Gates‟ wife wants Samuel to play a game with Gates．We‟ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us．We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy．Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves．However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk．The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow．You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule．If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left corner of the desk．When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up．If you‟re not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer．The built-in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you‟ve burned．You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand．The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements．All of that smart tech doesn‟t come cheap, though．The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2,990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for$4,190．While expensive，it‟s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks．Much like a good mattress(床垫)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment．Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive．32．The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_______．A．help users with their work B．keep users moving all the timeC．get users to exercise while working D．remind users of their working schedule 33．Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the desk?A．It can tell users when to change positions． B．It can track users‟ changes of positions．C．It can keep users in a fixed position．D．It can detect users‟ health condition．34．Which of the following can best describe the desk?A．Productive but challenging．B．Convenient but unaffordable．C．Complex and impractical．D．Multi-functional and intelligent．35．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．To spend money on such a desk is rewarding．B．We should get such a desk as soon as possible．C．It won‟t be long before the desk is widely used．D．Desks play a very important role in our daily life．七选五Article writing has been a way of conveying information through the web．If you‟re a writer, being able to let them stay on your article for more than two seconds is already a success．Your writing style can create more readers for your content if you know how to capture the attention of readers．36Be Direct-to-the-PointWebsite writing differs from print writing．People do not want to spend much time on a website because they want to get the information they need．37Be InformativeArticles for web content are briefly written．They flesh out the information without decorations．Be sure that your articles are not confusingly worded．38 Make sure you organize your facts logically so that your reader can effectively process them．Be Conversational39 Be conversational so that readers can grasp what you mean in your article．With quality content，engage your readers so that your article will have that personal and human touch．Be ConnectedMost article writers just place sentences that state a certain fact to form a paragraph．However, in readers‟ hopes，these writers fail to establish a human connection．40 So it is important to make the connection smooth and not abrupt．A．Stay away from decorations when writing online content．B．Most readers like to read articles that “speak” to them．C．Connection will allow the readers‟ minds to effectively process what is written．D．Get to your point directly so that your readers can process the information．E．Here are some important points to consider before writing online．F．Article writing is a fun way of establishing a connection with a reader and a writer．G．Complex sentences tend to wrongly lead your reader and make them confused．完形填空In the fourth grade，I discovered my one true love —acting．It is not only fun，but it 41teamwork and empathy, things I think the world should have more of．However, I never expected that acting would also teach me to 42 !In the first semester of my freshman year of high school，my school 43 the play Frankenstein．It‟s about a scientist named Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster, and 44 the monster destroys the scientist‟s life．I got the lead female 45 of Frankens tein‟s girlfriend，Elizabeth．I had been in plays before，so I was very 46 to the rehearsal(排练)process of memorizing lines and then 47 a character with help from the director．But this play was different from 48 one I had ever done before，because Frankenstein and Elizabeth had to kiss in the play a lot．The boy who 49Frankenstein was very cute，I must say．There was a(n) 50 in which our characters shared “15kisses”．51，the director removed it．But there were still some kissing scenes．Would we 52 to kiss，or would we actually kiss?

2015年高考英语模拟试题（二）作者：高利平来源：《试题与研究·高考英语》2015年第02期第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AInvesting In the Graphite（化石墨）RevolutionDecember 21st， 2014Graphene（石墨烯）is the future. Plain and simple.Its 200 times stronger than steel， thinner than a sheet of paper， and more conductive than copper.And thats not all…Researchers all over the world are using it for critical advances in a variety of industries. Graphene makes：·Solar cells — 50x～100x more efficient·Semiconductors — 50x～100x faster·Aircraft — 70% lighterWere talking about batteries that charge 10x faste r and store 10x more power…Phones and computer displays that bend and fold…Its so vital to our future that its been named a “supply critical mineral” and a “strategic mineral” by the United States， Japan and the European Union.Yet only a few companies around the world have access to mineral resource that is required to make graphene. And 70% of supply is controlled by China.So the setup is perfect for any nonChinese supply to become an extremely profitable investment， just like rare earths a few years ago.A new report from the Outsider Club fully outlines the situation：·What graphene is used for…·And why now is the perfect time to invest in this worldchanging discovery.To get this new report， simply drop your name in the box below. And in a few moments，youll be fully informed on the ins and outs of graphene. All I ask in return is for you to sign up to receive our financial and economic news eletter， Outsider Club.In each issue，well bring you the financial news from the “Outsiders” perspective. It will show you how to plan your own finances， and manage your own investments. Become a reader of Outsider Club today.So what are you waiting for？21. What do you know about graphene？A. It can conduct electricity very well.B. It is much stronger than paper.C. It is much heavier than steel.D. It is very easy to obtain now.22. According to the passage， a plane made of graphene can .A. move much fasterB. work more efficientlyC. save more energyD. weigh much less23. We can infer that a few years ago rare earths were .A. cheapB. commonC. profitableD. worthlessBChristian Haettich has one arm and one leg. Over 22 days this summer at the 2014 Haute Route he cycled across the Dolomites， the Alps and the Pyrenees to become one of only a dozen finishers of a tough threeweek cycling event.Haettich was born and brought up in rural Alsace， in northeast France. He led a normal life until a traffic accident in December 1976 when he was 15 years old. He was out riding a bike when he was hit by a car. As a result， he lost his left leg and his left arm.“Many things changed for me. I had to learn how to live again and deal with being stared at. Its tough being disabled at this age， and I was often rejected，” he says.Although he had long been a fan of professional cycling， it wasnt until his mid30s that he thought of taking up the sport himself. A chance sighting of a man with one leg riding up a mountain encouraged him to try cycling himself.People use arms and legs instinctively as counterbalances and supports to keep them upright. “I had no balance and fell off many times at first. My wife helped me a lot until the day I managed to ride without falling off，” he says.Haettich particularly likes those that involve riding in the mountains. On a long mountain pass，you cant stop pedalling（蹬车）to relax. For an ablebodied rider the work is shared more or less equally between both legs. For Haettich， his one leg has to do the work of two. He remembers how painful it was in the early days. “Pedalling uphill with one le g is hard， its just push and pull， if I forget one， I fall. But in the end ，my struggle paid off .”For many riders，cycling is no more than a hobby. For Haettich its much more. “Cycling brings me happiness. Cycling takes away my disability， and it helps me move forward. The bike is a source of inspiration，” he said.24. How many cyclists finished the threeweek cycling event at the 2014 Haute Route？A. 6 cyclists.B. 12 cyclists.C. 20 cyclists.D. 24 cyclists.25. What do you learn about Christian Haettich after he was disabled？A. He led a very normal life.B. He was discriminated against.C. He was taken good care of.D. He was inspired by his peers.26. What inspired him to take up cycling？A. Seeing a disabled man riding up a mountain.B. Watching a cycling event at the 2010 Haute Route.C. Hearing of a touching story about his sport hero.D. Making friends with a worldfamous cyclist.27. At the beginning it was very difficult for Christian Haettich to .A. climb the mountainsB. keep his paceC. keep his balanceD. control his fearCEvidence has long suggested that certain animals can possess unusual abilities. Now science is proving many of these stories to be correct. Close observation of such animals could help people to plan well in advance of coming problems.Henry Streby of the University of California discovered that goldenwinged warblers take off from their expected locations more than 24 hours before storms hit. In this case， the storm in question produced tornadoes that killed at least 35 people. “The most curious finding is that the warblers flew away long before the storm arrived，” said Streby. “At the same time the weatherman was telling us this storm headed in our direction. The birds were apparently already packing their bags and evacuating（撤离）the area.”Dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with 98 percent accuracy， found a study earlier this year.Dogs have about 200 million olfactory cells in their noses， versus only 5 million in the human nose. Their keen sense of smell helps to explain the cancerdetecting feat. Yet another study on dogs found that they can smell—through a persons breath or sweat — whether or not a diabetic（糖尿病）person has high or low blood sugar.After the 2011 magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan， Hiroyuki Yamauchi of National Tsing Hua University conducted a survey on how cats reacted ahead of the quake. The survey found that six or more days before the devastating earthquake， some cats engaged in unusual behaviors and became more stressed out. Felines began “trembling，being restless and escaping”. The researchers believe that cats may sense quakes ahead of time because they have a wider range of hearing than humans.Have you ever noticed that bees are nowhere in sight before it rains？ They sense moisture changes in the atmosphere， causing them to take shelter in their hives before downpours begin.28. We can infer that the goldenwinged warbler is a kind of .A. mammalB. birdC. sea creatureD. reptile29. The underlined word “olfactory ” means .A. related to smellB. linked to hearingC. connected with sightD. associated with taste30. Just before the rain， bees tend to be.A. busyB. restlessD. noisyD. invisible31. Which of the following is the best title？A. Some animals preventing major natural disasters.B. Some animals predicting devastating natural disasters.C. Some animals predicting disasters and detecting disease.D. Some animals helping people to detect human disease.DDenmark is a small nation of about 5.5 million people. The United States is a melting pot of more than 315 million people. There is no doubt that Denmark and the United States are very different countries. Nonetheless， are there lessons that we can learn from Denmark？Today in the United States there is a massive amount of economic anxiety. Unemployment is too high and wages and income are too low. The gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. However， in Denmark， social policies ensure that almost no one falls into economic despair. While it is difficult to become very rich in Denmark， no one is allowed to be poor.While millions of Americans are struggling to find affordable health care， health care in Denmark is universal and free of charge. Everybody is covered. The Danish health care system is popular， with patient satisfaction much higher than in our country.Danes understand that the first few years of a persons life are the most important in terms of intellectual and emotional development. In order to give strong support to expecting parents，mothers get four weeks of paid leave before giving birth. They get another 14 weeks of paid leave afterward. In the U.S. A， working mothers enjoy no paid leave before and after giving birth and young working families search desperately for affordable child care.At a time when college education in the United States is increasingly unaffordable and the average college graduate leaves school more than $25，000 in debt， virtually all higher education in Denmark is free.In Denmark， adequate leisure and family time are considered an important part of having a good life. Every worker in Denmark is entitled to five weeks of paid vacation plus 11 paid holidays. And the United States is the only major country that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation time.Recently the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development （OECD）has found that the Danish people rank among the happiest in the world among some 40 countries. However，America did not crack the top 10.The United States， in size， culture， and the diversity of our population， is a very different country from Denmark. Can we， however， learn some important lessons from them？ You bet we can.32. Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A. How can the United States catch up with Denmark？B. What lessons can the United States learn from Denmark？C. Where does the United States differ from Denmark？D. How did the United States become a melting pot？33. Which of the following is NOT true of the United States ？A. Free health care.B. High unemployment.C. Low wages and income.D. Lower patient satisfaction.34. Before and after giving birth， a mother in Denmark can get.A. 10 weeks of unpaid leave.B. 10 weeks of paid leave.C. 18 weeks of unpaid leave.D. 18 weeks of paid leave.35. From the passage， we can infer that.A. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider in DenmarkB. There are many very wealthy people living in DenmarkC. Danes spend much time in staying with their family membersD. college education in Denmark is becoming more expensive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。

They help to build America’s first transcontinental railroad between 1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.Bill Yee’s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America d uring the‘gold rush’days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee’s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860’s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together without the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.24. What do you know about Bill Yee?A. His family was rich in the 1860’s.B. His father settled in the USA.C. He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.D. His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.25. According to Bill Yee, many Chinese went to Amer ica in the 1860’s mainly .A. to run their own businessesB. to find their ancestorsC. to make a livingD. to dig gold26. According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin, .A. the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good lifeB. they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workersC. some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in ChinaD. some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US27. Why did Stanford University carry out the project?A. Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers’ descendants to get together.B. Because they want to show the importance of America’s first transcontinental railroad.C. Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past in America.D.Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ role in US history.C（2015•四川省成都七中高三一诊模拟）You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything.Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back fro m a cliff.In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during tense situation s,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.28. What is the article mainly about?A. People’s misunderstandings about fear.B. Different ways to deal with fear.C. The benefits fear brings us.D. A new study about fear.29. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?A. It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world.B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.30. The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to _________.A. get closer toB. fight againstC. pay attention toD. be more careful with31. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.B. Experience it as often as possible.C. Consider it as a sign of weakness. .D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.D（2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试）If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? There’s a fair chance that you’d be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we don’t have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being’ personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large is learning. We’re actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven’t yet learnt. It’s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success ---for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn’t have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from yourevision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you’ve learnt them, but you should keep testing what you’ve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there’s more to testing than finding out what students knows --tests can also help us remember.32. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because_______.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don’t und erstand well what we are learningC. we don’t know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones33. 64. The researchers’ experiment was intended to _______.A. confirm we don’t know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC. distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing34. What does the authour believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you’re poor at.D. Strong desire fr grasping new knowledge.35. The proper title for the passage is ________.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD.

But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event, beware-you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.Maryanne Garry, a New Zealand psychology professor, has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experien ce the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them. The picture only captures a small party of the total experience. And because parents remember less about these important events, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences. As a result, children’s own childhood memories are reduced.The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.Henkel, who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum. The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then, back at the laboratory, they were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer of the objects that t hey had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about those objects. She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory,” she says.32. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. an important eventB. a child’s birthdayC. A valuable photographD. A family holiday33. According to Garry, what will be the result of parents frequently taking photos of their children?A. Parents will be very skillful at taking photos.B. Children will enjoy many more beautiful pictures.C. Parents will appreciate these important moments less.D. Children will become more important in their parents’ eyes.34. How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”?A. By carrying out an experimentB. By giving a questionnaireC. By interviewing a group of studentsD. By researching the findings of the others35. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.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。

Its bald head was moving slightly from side to side 39 its mother.Amazed, I knew what I should do next. I got a 40 from my basement and placed it against the tree. It was then that I heard a sound “miaow”. Looking through the leaves, I saw the culprit(肇事者), a neighborhood cat. He must have shaken the bird out of the 41 and gotten himself trapped up in the tree as well. Climbing up through the branches, I 42 him, gave him a scolding and dropped him softly to the ground. Then I gently picked up the baby bird and slowly reached my arm out as 43 as I could to place it in the nest.In the following weeks I have looked up at the nest several times, but have only been able to see the mother bird.

Look around and discover other ways to make high school meaningful.Follow your interests.Do you like taking pictures? Try the photojournalism club, or work for your school’s newspaper. Are you interested in sports but not very athletic? Think about being a team manager or keeping statistic(统计). Do you enjoy playing an instrument? Join your middle school band. If your school doesn’t have a club that fits what you’re interested in, find a teacher who’ll sponsor a group or start one for yourself! Good memories of middle school include activities as well as academics.Contribute to your community by volunteering.Your assistance will help others and make you feel good, too. Organizations which are in need of volunteers constantly include: area food banks, children’s shelters, hospitals, nursing and retirement homes, museums, and your community library etc.Extracurricular(课外的) activities are important to your future.How you use your free time is important to high schools, universities, and even employers. Choose activities you enjoy and select the ones that match your interests. Your goal is to show that your interests extend beyond sitting on the couch and watching television, or playing video gameswhen the school day ends—lazy bones doesn’t look good on a resume(简历). So get up and get moving.

Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers(唱颂歌的人) walking in these streets that were lined with boarded-up(用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down in the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but the bright sun couldn’t warm the place.Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one house and our group knocked on the door. Our arms were filled with ham, bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown(睡衣) with undone hair. She was in her late-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years.“Sacred Heart food deliver service,” I smiled. “ Where can we put this for you? ”She pointed to a place and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions of the house they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers(尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was the reality for this family. We set boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand.“You don’t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family,” she said, crying. “We are just getting by.” I opened my arms and gave her a hug.“Happy holidays!” I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside. This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.61.

The new terms include weixin, or WeChat etc. There are also some older words recently used again and repurposed for contemporary(当代的) use, such as tuhao. Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel, tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in China: people who are “extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values.”But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut, while other popular terms were shut out? Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi, shengnü, and baifumei.Li Xingjian, the chief editor of the dictionary, said about 30 language experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms. They took into account three main considerations: whether the term has entered public topic, whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a minimum level of tastefulness.“We considered and discussed a huge list,” Mr. Li said. “A term like diaosi is not very tasteful, and it’s unlikely to be used for much longer. And shengnü, we thought it wasn’t that significant. It’s used a lot by young people online, but otherwise people don’t really use it.”“On the other hand, tuhao has always been around. It has a mocking(嘲弄的) meaning, but it’s not necessarily negative,” he said. “We think it’ll stay around for a while, because in real life there really are these kinds of people and therefore a need to descri be them.”The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese, first published in 2004, is appreciated especially by scholars and those interested in contemporary usage. But it is not the first reference dictionary in China. That honor still goes to the New China Character Dictionary and the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised, with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones.66. What does the underlined words phrase “make the cut” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Select.B. Exclude.C. Replace.D. Explain.67. How many aspects were taken into consideration to choose the new terms for the dictionary?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.68. Why was shengnü not chosen into the new Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese?A. Because it is never used in their daily life.B. Because it is not popular on the Internet these days.C. Because it is neither tasteful nor likely to endure long.D. Because it is not so important and is mainly used online by young people.69. Which is NOT True according to the passage?A. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese was first published in 2004.B. The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is the first reference dictionary.C. The term tuhao will exist for some time.D. About 30 language experts worked for over three years to choose the new terms.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Every five years, the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised.B. People think differently about the newly chosen terms.C. Many new terms were chosen into the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese.D. The language experts think highly of newly chosen terms.Part ⅣWriting (45marks)Section A (10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy computers for their sonsor daughters.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give to their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that tod ay’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence. These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more important.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people havebeen injured in a stampede that broke out during a New Year Eve celebration in downtownShanghai, which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the balcony of a building.Survivors described the stampede as “horrible and hellish.”A woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her arms in the chaos. Her son followed her. Dirty shoe prints covered her son’s clothes when the 12-year-old boy came to safety.“The crowd was in a panic. We stood in the crowd, feeling squeezed and almost out of breath,” a boy said. “Some yelled for help, but the noise was too loud.” ●72. _______ in their children’s education.●74. _______ about money.●Send them to the best schools or abroad.●Wish their children to 75. _______ or other classes.●The more expense in education is, 76. ______ theresult will be.Attitude 73. _______ Belief 77. ______ ●Lack self-respect and self-confidence.80. ______●Teach children practical skills like cooking andsewing. Title ： How Chinese Parents 71.______ Reasons ●Only teach them how to take multiple-choice testsand 78. ______.●Ignore the great importance of children’s 79. ______,happiness and cleverness.Other survivors said police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out people who were stuck, but without much success.The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai-based Fudan University. The student, surnamed Du from Yunnan Province, was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital.“The chaos lasted several minutes, and then some of the injured were seen being carried out of the crowd,” Yu said.Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an immediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future.The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to deal with the aftermath.Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in China, the world's most populous country. Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures.In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in Yunnan Province after a stairway was blocked. In January 2014, a mosque(清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 2004, a stampede on a bridge in suburban Beijing killed 37 during a local lantern festival.81. How did the boy feel in the crowd?(No more than 12 words) (3 marks)82. What happened to the college student in the passage?(No more than 11 words) (2 marks)83. How many people were killed altogether in the stampedes mentioned in the passage?(No more than 2 words) (3 marks)84. What’s the news mainly about?(No more than 14 words) (3 marks) Section C (25marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.同龄压力（peer pressure）是青少年成长过程中经常遇到的问题。

（2015•浙江省杭州市一模）Every Saturday and Sunday morning, my father would throw his bike in the trunk of his car and explore new areas to ride. I was always 36 by this. What satisfaction did his bike provide him? It‟s 37 a bike, right?That all 38 when I started riding my bike in our gara ge, which hadn‟t been touched for nearly three years. I had been annoying my parents to help me 39 a bike for college.Scared but 40 , I decided to try riding it. I mean, wasn’t it supposed to be 41 ? Alas, it was not. 42 , I spent five or ten minutes riding around, doing small turns or practicing shifting gears(换挡）. Then I practised in the street. The greatest moment of it all is 43 my father was there with me, every step of the way. He ran up and down the street making sure my 44 wasn‟t due to a negative result. I‟ll never forget those moments. Who says 45 with your parents end before college?Then, college came. The look on my father‟s face was 46 when he showed me how to lock my bike. Over various methods of communication, my father 47 ask: …Did you ride your bike today?‟48 , for almost two months, my answer was no.Why? I was hesitant (迟疑的）. 49 was not on my schedule. But then, with a kick of confidence, I 50 my bike in September. All I kept thinking was that my father and mother would be 51 of me! Even if it was doing something as small as riding my bike!Now, all I want to do is ride my bike! There are 52 no words to describe the rush you get while riding your bike. To 53 myself, I set goals. It feels unbelievable to know that you hit your goals.The next time you are 54 with emotions, ride a bike. The best part of my cycling experience is that 55 you fall, you pick yourself back up.
