AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省信阳高级中学2015-2016学年高二英语12月月考试题

信阳高中高二12月月考英语试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）（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。

AJune came and the hay was almost ready for cutting．On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr．Jones went to Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday．The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting, without bothering to feed the animals．When Mr．Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the world" over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed．At last, they could stand no longer．One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns（角） and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains．It was just then that Mr．Jones woke up．The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips （鞭子） in their hands, whipping in all directions．This was more than the hungry animals would bear．Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters．Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with horns and kicked from all sides．The situation was quite out of their control．They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising （起义） of creatures whom they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose frightened them．After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves．A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully．21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A．Willington was the name of a relative．B．Red Lion was the name of a bar．C．News of the World was a TV program．D．Store-house is a place to feed the cows．22．The cows broke into the store-house to feed themselves because .A．They were so angry at their masters B．They wanted to fight with the menC．They wanted to go on strike D．They-were too hungry 23．The cows jumped upon their masters because _________．A．they were not fed B．they were so hungryC．they were whipped so hard D．they were so happy 24．What would be the best tile for the story?A．Midsummer's Eve B．A Bad SundayC．Cows and Their Masters D．Rebellion of CowsBThe Future StarsGeneral introductionThe Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality childcare in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations.A healthy curiosity about learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most Important time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling. Hours of operationChildcare will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday except for holidays. Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arise, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $ 1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival, not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.Tuition (学费)When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child.The weekly tuition fee is $ 98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $ 25.00 late fee.For more information, please call 434-293-6110 or visit .25. The Future Stars is intended for______.A. would-be parentsB. teenagersC. child expertsD.pre-school children26. What can we know about late pickups from the passage?A. They may affect continued services with the center.B. Parents have to pay late charges for them to the center.C. Parents have to inform the center of them right away.D. They greatly disturb the work arrangements of the center.27. If you want your child to receive childcare services from the Future Stars youmust ___.A. pay extra for delayed paymentB. pay every TuesdayC pay $ 98 for registration D. pay in cash28. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To attract public donations.B. To promote early education.C. To tell the benefits of childcare.D. To introduce a child development center.CYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –i t’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple –look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,”Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.29．The main purpose of the article is to _____.A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorB．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC．share an interesting but awkward elevator rideD．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator30．According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A．turn around and greet one anotherB．look around or examine their phoneC．make eye contact with those in the elevatorD．try to keep a distance from other people31．Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?32．The writer wrote the passage in a tone of ___________.A．disapproved B．objective C．negative D．supportiveDDoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship wi th tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys the pride as the UK’s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Rogers a lso points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’twasted.”33 What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in people’s life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.34. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day35. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.EWhat makes a good school?I'm a parent of two elementary students．The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age．What I think of a good school is communication between teachers．students and parents． 36 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents．37 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk m uch．On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school． 38 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US．However．choosing a career in education is not just for a good job．A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life． 39 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers’names． 40 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience．When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents，it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend，not just GOOD．A．I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions，not even a one-word response．B．There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures．C．Why is that?D．Strong communication is very important to a child’s ed ucation．E．I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough and neither is involvement．F．My elementary school teachers all touched my life．G．What do you think of it?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。

There is no doubt that we should take positive attitudes towards our setbacks. We should spare no efforts to analyze the cause of failure, which could help us escape repeating the similar mistakes. Only when we find out the cause of our failure can we make progress in our study.

We can see or hear ads everywhere, in thenewspapers, in the street, on the buses or on the radio. We are usually interested in these ads and often want to buy the products advertised. This is just what the manufactures hope for. They spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. The ads can provide you with a lot of information about the various items. So ads benefit not only manufactures but also shoppers. In modern society, computers have also become a new medium. People get information about the products on the Internet. This is a faster, easier and more exact way for both shopping and advertising than any other way. The Internet will play an increasingly important role in people's shopping.。

2015年河南省六市高三第二次联合调研检测英语第二部分：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。

ATime magazine once reported a story about a woman in rural（乡村）who was recovering from a long illness. She enjoyed sitting in the yard in her wheelchair and, on this day, she was watching her son work under his car. He had raised it on blocks of wood and removed the wheels.Suddenly, the car fell on top of the boy! She screamed for her husband who ran to assist, but he could not move the car. He climbed into his own car and sped off for help.The mother could hear that her son’s groans （呻吟）were growing weaker and she knew she must do something. But how? She hadn’t walked in months. Then, she realized that her son was dying before her eyes and that she was the only one to help.She raised herself shakily to her feet and walked unsteadily to the car. With all her amazing strength, she tried to lift the car. The car was raised a few inches, just enough to let the boy move free. Then she became unconscious.After an examination, she was found only to have suffered strained muscles （肌肉拉伤）. But the doctor was amazed, “I will always wonder,” he said, “how far she might have lifted that car if she had been well and strong!”Call it a miracle. This mother found what she needed to face the situation. And so it is with all of us. You have strength to overcome seemingly impossible challenges ahead. You may feel weak or unable to deal with these challenges, but you have been designed with enough power to defeat those difficulties.Call it what you will. I call it hope.21. What happened on this day?A. The mother was watching her son playing under a car when the accident occurred.B. The father was driving his car and hit his son by accident.C. The mother’s son was changing his car whe els when the car fell on his body.D. The father couldn’t help his son and drove to ask a doctor for help.22. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence?A. The doctor was amazed at how powerful a mother’s love was.B. The doctor believed that the mother had recovered her health and was well and strong.C. The doctor didn’t believe it’s the mother who saved her son.D. The doctor believed his treatments had made the mother become strong.23. W hat’s the best title of the passage?A. A great motherB. An urgent rescueC. Emergency inspires one’s potentialD. A friend in need is a friend indeedBWitness A: I was standing at the bus stop opposite the gas station on Route 300, a four—lane road. That had always been a dangerous area, but it’s safer now because they recently put in traffic signals. There were two vehicles on the road approaching the signal. One was a small farm truck and the other a brand—new sports car. It was getting dark but the heavy rain had just stopped and there were no other cars around. Anyway, the truck and the sports car were driving side by side when the car started to swerve from side to side. I think the truck may have moved slightly to stay away from the car, but I’m not sure —I couldn’t take my eyes off the car. The signal was red, but instead of slowing down, the car sped ahead rapidly. The driver was going to go through the intersection when the light was red! And that’s when a van（小型货车）suddenly came into the intersection from the far side. It looked like they were going to hit, but they both turned away from each other at the last second and avoided a crash. But then the back door of the van opened up and hundreds of soccer balls spilled out.Witness B: I was walking on the side road toward Route 300 — coming to the intersection. I noticed that they had put up signals near the service station. This should help make the intersection safer. Suddenly, a van came up from behind me. It was strange — I could see inside the van and it was full of soccer balls! I had never seen anything like that before. Anyway, as the van was approaching the signal, the light turned from green to yellow. But the driver went faster when he should have slowed down — he drove into the intersection where he almost hit a sports car. It was so lucky — the man was able to turn to the right and miss the car. I think the sports car turned too. Fortunately, there was no accident, but there were soccer bails all over the place.24. Based on what one of the witnesses said, we can assume it was ________.A. early in the morning and there were few carsB. evening and the road was wetC. late afternoon and Route 300 was full of carsD. late at night and it was slippery25. Witness A is not really certain about ________.A. whether it had been raining heavily or notB. whether or not the light is redC. whether the truck tried to avoid the sports carD. which direction the van came from26. Witness A probably thinks that there was almost an accident because of _________.A. the new traffic signals at the intersectionB. the sports car ignoring the traffic signalC. the truck moving to avoid the sports carD. the van going too fast for the area27. Witness B probably thinks that there was almost an accident because of ________.A. the sports car speeding through the intersectionB. the traffic signals that were put up recentlyC. the truck turning away from the sports carD. the van driver driving dangerouslyCSeptember 30, 2011Skunk Scooters（滑板车）100 Caldwell StreetOmaha, NE 68102To Whom It May Concern.On August 27, 2011, I ordered a Skunk Scooter from your website. I was very excited when the motorcycle arrived because I bought it with the money I saved from doing part—time jobs over the summer vacation. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter.First of all, the front wheel always shakes from side to side, making the scooter difficult to control. Also, it makes an unpleasant sound as the wheel works. The sound is much louder than a car engine. The instructions say we should tighten the screws（螺丝）. My mom and I did that. However, it did not help at all.In addition, something is wrong with the handlebars（把手）. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty—six inches. This does not seem to be true of the Skunk Scooter I received. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob（球形把手）that is used to change the height is pushed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction. It is extremely uncomfortable to ride the motorbike with its handlebars in such a low position.Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, coolest scooter on the planet,” it makes me feel very disgruntled. I am expecting that the repair of the scooter would be done at the earliest or else I want my money back. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance for taking the trouble to solve the problem.Sincerely,Natasha Greene28. The text is probably written by a ________.A. repairmanB. shopkeeperC. studentD. salesgirl29. What’s wrong with the front wheel of the scooter?A. Several screws on it are missing.B. It is not as big as the website says.C. It keeps shaking and makes a noise.D. It cannot turn as fast as the back one.30. The underlined word “disgruntled” in the text probably means “_________”.A. excitedB. confusedC. proudD. dissatisfied31. Natasha wrote the letter mainly to ________.A. demand after—sales serviceB. send her congratulationsC. express thankfulnessD. make an apologyDMagnet and Sticky: A Study on State—to—State Migration（移居）in the USSome people live their whole lives near their places of birth, while others move elsewhere. A study conducted by the Pew Research Center looked into the state—to—state moving patterns of Americans. The study examined each state to determine how many of their citizens have moved there from other states. States with high percentages of these residents are called “magnet” states in the report. The study also investigated what percent of adults born in each state are still living there.States high in these numbers are calle d “sticky” states. The study found that some states were both magnet and sticky, while others were neither. There were also states that were only magnet or only sticky.Figures 1 and 2 show how selected states rank on magnet and sticky scales, respectively. Florida is a good example of a state that ranks high on both. Seventy percent of its current adult population was born in another state; at the same time, 66% of adults born in Florida are still living there. On the other hand, West Virginia is neither magnet（only 27%）nor particularly sticky（49%）. In other words, it has few newcomers, and relatively few West Virginians stay there. Michigan is a typical example of a state which is highly sticky, but very low magnet. In contrast, Alaska, which ranks near the top of the magnet scale, is the least sticky of all states.Three other extreme examples also appear in Figures 1 and 2. The first is Nevada, where the high proportion of adult residents born out of state makes this state America’s top magnet. New York is at the opposite end of the magnet scale, even though it is attractive to immigrants from other nations. The third extreme example is Texas, at the opposite end of the sticky scale from Alaska. Although it is a fairly weak magnet, Texas is the nation’s stickiest state.The study went on to explore the reasons why “movers” leave their home states and“stayers” remain. As for movers, there is no single factor that influences their decisions to move to other states. The most common reason they gave for moving is to seek job or business opportunities. Others report moving for personal reasons: family ties, the desire to live in a good community for their children, or retirement.32. If a state is magnet, _______.A. few adults born there have stayedB. few adults living there were born elsewhereC. many adults born there have stayedD. many adults living there were born elsewhere33. Which three states are represented in Figures 1 and 2 as（A）,（B）, and（C）?A. （A）. Nevada （B）. New York （C）. TexasB. （A）. Nevada （B）. Texas （C）. New YorkC. （A）. New York （B）. Nevada （C）. TexasD. （A）. New York （B）. Texas （C）. Nevada34. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A. describe various patterns in American migrationB. explain why some states are less popular than othersC. list states with a high ratio of adults who were born thereD. report how the Pew Research Center collected data35. What topic might follow the last paragraph?A. Reasons why some Americans stay in their home states.B. States that attract immigrants from other countries.C. Types of occupations movers look for in other states.D. Ways to raise children in a magnet state community.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省信阳市第六高级中学2015届高三12月月考英语试题及答案

信阳市第六高级中学2015届高三12月月考英语试卷My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was sa ving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.21. Which of the following can best explain the expression underlined “mend her fences for past things” in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promise2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory23. Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends24. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. Value Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important OccasionBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.② UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③ Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④ Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤ Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.25. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought by walking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun26. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to with witchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.27. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④28. .Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.29. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure30. The underlined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “_________”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories31. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques u sed in writing poems32. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.DHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks(象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung(粪便)of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine(尿液)to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.33.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.A.manages to live in desert areasB.drinks 120 liters of water a dayC .remains in the African countriesD.eats 150 kilograms of food daily34.Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A.rarely ruin treesB.drink only every 3-4 daysC.search for food in large groupsD.protect food sources for their young35.What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A.Overheating the earth can be stopped.B. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.C.The planet will become hotter and hotter. 、D. Not all animal species are so adaptable.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。

河南省信阳市浉河区信阳高级中学2023-2024学年高三上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解72 hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing.Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” — the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (把……定名为) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan Cuisine, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.1．When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List?A．In 1950.B．In 1987.C．In 1998.D．In 2014.2．Which place is the author’s first choice when visiting Beijing?A．Mutianyu Great Wall.B．798 Art Zone.C．Summer Palace.D．Sichuan Provincial Restaurant. 3．Who is the passage intended for?A．The tourists who prefer to travel for free.B．The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 4 days.C．The visitors coming from every corner of China.D．The foreigners coming to Beijing for the first time.In Scotland, 600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. And food waste isn’t just a big problem in Scotland.Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusually sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is almost impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption (消费) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩饭) because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will be at its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn’t necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.Every time you go shopping and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren’t going to eat it.They will really appreciate the food you have given.4．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A．Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.B．Household waste hasn’t drawn much attention.C．People in Scotland waste the most food.D．Food waste is a common problem.5．What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Valuable.B．Dangerous.C．Different.D．Unnecessary. 6．What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text?A．Pick usually sized produce.B．Improve the quality of farm produce.C．Order produce directly from farmers.D．Avoid buying too much food at a time.7．What advice does the author offer to people?A．Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.B．Place food carefully according to its expiry date.C．Throw away food that passes the best-before date.D．Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.The world may have a new supercontinent within 200 million to 300 million years as the Pacific Ocean shrinks and closes.Researchers at Curtin University in Australia and Peking University in China used a supercomputer to model the evolution of Earth’s tectonic plates (地质构造板块) and the formation of a future supercontinent. Their findings were published in the journal National science Review.“Over the past two billion years, Earth’s continents have collided (相撞) together to form a supercontinent every 600 million years, known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that current continents are due to come together again in a couple of hundred million years’ time,” said lead author Dr. Chuan Huang, a research fellow in Curtin’s Earth Dynamics Research Group and the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences.The team’s simulation showed that due to the fact that Earth has been cooling for billions of years since its formation, the thickness and strength of the tectonic plates beneaththe oceans have reduced over time. As a result, the formation of a new supercontinent is more likely to happen by the closing up of the Pacific Ocean. Reducing by a few centimeters per year, the Pacific Ocean’s current reach of 10,000 kilometers will close up in less than 300 million years.“The resulting new supercontinent has already been named Amasia because some believe that the Pacific Ocean will close when America collides with Asia. Australia is also expected to play a role in this important Earth event, first colliding with Asia and then connecting America and Asia once the Pacific Ocean closes,” Huang said.Changes in the distribution of continents and oceans will cause changes in climates, “particularly when ocean currents are stopped by continental collision, or new ocean currents are formed when continents break apart,” said study coauthor Zheng-Xiang Li, distinguished professor in Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “Earth, as we know, will be completely different when Amasia forms. The sea level is expected to be lower, and the vast interior (内陆) of the supercontinent will be very dry with high daily temperature ranges.”Researchers expect more earthquakes as the continental plates collide. Surrounded by a new super ocean, the newly formed supercontinent will also have decreased biodiversity.Scientists are still trying to understand Earth’s supercontinent cycle, which is driven by heat and gravity. The research team wants to establish how Earth’s tectonic plates started and when the first continents formed, as well as what kicked off the supercontinent cycle.“We are only starting to look at the entire Earth system, from its core to its atmosphere, as a closely linked system that evolved together,”Li said.8．What leads to the formation of the new supercontinent?A．The rising temperature of the Earth.B．The expansion of the Pacific Ocean.C．The reduced strength of the tectonic plates.D．The appearance of many new tectonic plates.9．What is believed by some scientists about the new supercontinent?A．The involving parts.B．Its climate pattern.C．The way it breaks apart.D．Its distance from Australia.10．What will probably happen to the newly formed supercontinent?A．There will be a rise in the sea level.B．There will be lots of water in its interior.C．The variety of its living things will be reduced.D．Its temperature will stay the same all year around.11．What does the last paragraph mainly want to show?A．The entire Earth system faces an uncertain future.B．The origin of the supercontinent cycle is hard to trace.C．The Earth’s supercontinent cycle will pose a big threat.D．There is more to discover about the supercontinent cycle.Dangerous drivers can be anywhere. Drunk, sleepy and distracted driving can sometimes end tragically, notes Jeesung Lee, 17. This rising high-school junior in South Korea attends St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju. He wondered whether AI could help warn people of such drivers. A system he’s designed can now warn drivers when other drivers near them are acting dangerously.Jeesung’s system can find cars traveling at dangerous speeds or suddenly switching lanes(车道). His computer program then sends a message to cellphones in the area. It can text drivers to watch out. Live video surveys many major roads around the globe, often for traffic reports, especially to assess what happened after an accident occurs, Jeesung notes. His AI-based program instead aims to head off accidents.It monitors streaming video in real time. Jeesung trained his computer program with publicly available videos showing car accidents. He then tested his system using video it hadn’t seen. It correctly identified dangerous driving some 80, percent of the time, the teen now reports. It also sends out warnings less than two seconds after spotting risky driving.You can’t get those warnings just yet. To do so, Jeesung wants to use GPS to pinpoint the locations of phone users. That would require permission from South Korea’s government, he notes. But the system should prove quick and reliable, Jeesung says. And it should cost little, he adds. It needs no additional hardware. And his system can be used with existing cameras.Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injuries. Jeesung hopes a system like his can limit these. He aims to continue improving and testing the system in Jeju and eventually go global.12．What caused Jeesung to design the system?A．Feeling sleepy in class.B．Playing computer games.C．Seeing dangerous drivers.D．Acting wrongly after drinking.13．What is the purpose of Jeesung’s design?A．To speed up cars.B．To stop accidents.C．To report accidents.D．To survey main roads.14．What can we infer from paragraph 4?A．The system will be cheap.B．Existing hardware is of little use.C．Jeesung can know the locations of phone users.D．South Korea’s government has given Jeesung permission.15．What can we learn about Jeesung?A．He is warm-hearted.B．He is ambitious.C．He has a lot of money.D．He has an expensive car.二、七选五Kitchen robot is a robotic device designed to provide assistance with common kitchen tasks. These robots can handle work ranging from food preparation to dishwashing andunable by reason of age or illness to manage daily kitchen tasks without assistance.Ordinary kitchen robots are usually designed to wash dirty dishes. Working as a dishwasher in a kitchen environment requires a set of skills. A successful robot must be able to grasp and clean dishes, and store them appropriately. 17More advanced kitchen robot designs focus on the preparation and serving of food.18 Robots designed to serve as mechanical chefs need to be able to evaluate different food products to ensure freshness and quality. They also need to make appropriate selections from various ingredients, and perform a large number of different physical tasks as part of the cooking process.19 Such devices are perfect for people who get a high salary but have very little free time. A kitchen robot could potentially take over many common kitchen tasks, allowing its owner to focus on other matters or to cook only on those occasions when they have the time to enjoy cooking.Kitchen robots have more practical applications as well. The population of many Western nations is aging, often quite rapidly. 20 A robot could potentially providethat assistance for them without causing any discomfort.A．This requires an entirely different set of skills.B．Convenience is one selling point of kitchen robots.C．Some kitchen robots are designed for other special usages.D．Older people may require some assistance with daily tasks.E．They are intended to reduce the heavy housework of daily living.F．Nowadays more and more robots walk into people’s work and daily life.G．It also has to avoid breaking them while making sure of a thorough clean.三、完形填空Young boys often dream of superpowers to solve their problems. It was 1933, while the22．A．concepts B．principles C．ideas D．disputes 23．A．hanging B．working C．running D．figuring 24．A．get out B．stand out C．set out D．put out 25．A．struck B．dawned C．fell D．occurred 26．A．taking action B．taking effect C．taking shape D．taking aim 27．A．tiresome B．tragic C．memorable D．grateful 28．A．creative B．personal C．academic D．skillful 29．A．remember B．commend C．judge D．process 30．A．defeated B．predicted C．prevented D．supported 31．A．subject B．resistant C．sensitive D．accustomed 32．A．responsibility B．belief C．command D．contribution 33．A．shared B．confirmed C．boosted D．calmed 34．A．unexpectedly B．importantly C．fortunately D．obviously 35．A．ban B．help C．save D．facilitate四、用单词的适当形式完成短文English, French, German and Japanese.五、其他应用文46．上周日，你校师生一起参观了你们市的历史博物馆。

A mental professor walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired(询问): "How heavy is this glass of water?"Different answers called out from the audience.She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb(无知觉的) and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed--incapable of doing anything."It's important to remember to let go of your stress. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!CommentsAye Chan Aung---October 27, 2015 at 11:37 amShort but valuable!

In a magazine for teenagers.D. In a textbook about mental health.3. Life is filled with challenges. As we get older ，we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitmentand communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, "I got my feelings hurt", rather than "You hurt my feelings", you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."29. The writer believes that challenges ________.A. are always born with friendshipB. help build friendshipC. are never worth attentionD. help us grow30. If your friend hurts your feelings, you are advised to ____.A. point out your friend's mistakeB. calm yourself downC. start a proper conversationD. run away from it31. The whole passage is centered on the relationship（关系）between ___.A. friendship and challengesB. commitment and friendshipC. friendship and growthD. challenges and chances4.Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious.

It’s often a gathering of people wh o are here for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew, it was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I suddenly felt my wife’s hope was slim. I told her that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the comer of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion ofhis.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my sh opping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.【1】How did the author feel when going into the store?A．The crowd was like small fish.B．They might not get the bike.C．He was excited to do the shopping.D．The whistle was blown too late.【2】What happened when the author was buying the bike?A．He was scared by a man’s look at first.B．A gentleman bought the bike for him.C．A stranger helped him lift the box.D．He gave up the bike he first touched.【3】What can we learn from the author’s experience?A．Look before you leap.B．Custom is a second nature.C．Doing is better than saying.D．Don’t judge a book by its cover.【4】What may be the best title for the passage?A．Black Friday Sales B．My son’s best bikeC．The best Christmas gift D．A strange gentleman3.Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficu lt places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating”. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes，brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of liv ing. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.【1】What do many single people in Pairs complain about?A．The difficulty in finding a match.B．The idea of supermarket dating.C．The items on their grocery list.D．The inconvenience in shopping.【2】Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?A．The dating supermarket is located in Paris.B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.C．Only single people can shop in the supermarket.D．The dating supermarket has very good business.【3】How do love shoppers meet one another?A．They schedule their meeting in advance.B．They go through a special checkout.C．They pick out their groceries with great care.D．They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.【4】Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A．The supermarket dating is more convenient.B．The supermarket dating is more fun.C．The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.D．The supermarket dating is more economical.4.The World Health Organization (WHO) says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.The U.N. agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes cases. There are more than 400 million cases of the disease worldwide. The WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every year. It says the use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major reason for the increase in rates of obesity and diabetes.Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency. He told VOA that taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Wayanivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent drop in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.The WHO says people should limit the amount of sugar they consume. It says they should keep their sugar intake to below 10 percent of their total energy needs, and reduce it to less than 5 percent for improved health. 【1】Why are taxes on sugary drinks required?A．To limit their use and popularity.B．To readjust the economic structure.C．To warn people to change their lifestyle.D．To ensure the market’s diverse development.【2】What do the figures in the second paragraph suggest?A．Adult obesity is ignored at present.B．Obesity is a severe worldwide problem.C．Obesity can block economic development.D．Obesity is most serious in developed countries.【3】What does the underlined word “enacted” mean in the passage?A．AbolishB．PassC．PromiseD．Reduce【4】What does the example of Mexico prove?A．Tax policies are unfair to the poor.B．Sugary drinks are a threat to health.C．The poor consume more sugary drinks.D．Taxing sugary drinks makes a difference.二、其他If you’re in your 20s or even 30s, you mi ght feel a lot of uncertainty all the time. You may be not sure what your life purpose is.【1】This is normal.We all want to have a certain life purpose. We all want to feel we’re on the right path. We all want to perfect our habits, our routines, or our pr oductivity. We all want to feel more certain, and perfect in what we’re doing.There is a struggle between the comfort of certainty and perfection and the fear of uncertainty and being suboptimal(不最理想的).Let me let you in on a secret: no one is free from this struggle. Look at the most successful people you can think of —Bill Gates, Obama, Taylor Swift.【2】Do you think they have certainty and a feeling of reaching perfection? Not a chance. There is not one of us alive, not me or anyone else, who ever feel s certainty about their purpose or path. If they do, they’re fooling themselves.【3】No one ever feels they’ve found the perfect productivity routine, the perfect version of themselves.【4】We all feel uncertainty, all day, and we all struggle with it. Some people have grown more comfortable with it than others, but in general no one likes uncertainty.【5】That’s perfectly OK, perfectly normal. Don’t run from it. Instead, stay with this uncomfortable, unappealing uncertainty. It’s here in you, a part o f this moment, a part of you but not the whole of you.A．Because it doesn’t exist.B．Do you think they have it all figured out?C．This uncertainty you’re feeling is unpleasant.D．But if they’re honest, they don’t feel that certainty.E.See if you can tell what you’re being uncertain about.F.So focus on what you actually have right in front of you.G.You may be uncertain about what path you should take in life.三、完形填空Our family’s first hosting experience began in January of 2015 wit h our Italian daughter Victoria.

信阳市第六高级中学2015届高三12月月考英语试卷My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a s pecial occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.21. Which of the following can best explain the expression underlined “mend her fences for past things” in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promise2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory23. Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends24. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. Value Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important OccasionBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.② UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③ Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④ Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤ Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.25. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought by walking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun26. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to with witchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.27. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④28. .Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.29. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure30. The under lined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “_________”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories31. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems32. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.DHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks(象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung(粪便)of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine(尿液)to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.33.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.A.manages to live in desert areasB.drinks 120 liters of water a dayC .remains in the African countriesD.eats 150 kilograms of food daily34.Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A.rarely ruin treesB.drink only every 3-4 daysC.search for food in large groupsD.protect food sources for their young35.What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A.Overheating the earth can be stopped.B. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.C.The planet will become hotter and hotter. 、D. Not all animal species are so adaptable.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。
