高考英语三模试卷
一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Different countries have different tipping customs．When you travel，you need to know howto tip in the country that you're in；otherwise you'll leave servers angry everywhere you go．Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world．
Brazil
There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill，and you
won'tnecessarily have to tip．If you do feel like being generous，an extra 5-10% will really make yourserver very happy．Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible-Brazilians don't make abig show of this．
Dubai
In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills．You canadd a couple of dirhams（迪拉姆，货币单位）to this if you feel like it．Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai，so it is always very appreciated．
Germany
German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe，but that's not allyou have to pay．It is a custom to round the bill up after that，usually to the euro．This can beanywhere from 5-10%．When it's time to settle up，you won't get a bill：your waiter tells you thetotal and then you tell them how much you want to pay，including your "tip"，and hand over themoney．
Czech Republic
While locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips，that doesn't mean you're off the hook．Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service-as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area，like Prague for instance．The standard tip is 10%．India
If you like the service，go ahead and tip your server 5-10%．You have to adjust that amount though，based on how big the meal you're eating is．If the bill is for a small meal，and totals lessthan 300 rupees，tip the full 10%．If the bill is higher，tip towards the 5%．
1.In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service？______
A. Dubai
B. India
C. Germany
D. Czech Republic
2.Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners？______
A. Dubai

C. India
D. Czech Republic
3.If your bill is 2000 rupees in India，it is proper for you to tip ______ rupees．

B
My nephew came for a visit one hot，July weekend．I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game．After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player，I suggested that we relax for a while．He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of
peace and quiet．
"Look，Alice，"he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering．"I found a kite．Could we go outside and fly it？"
Glancing out of a nearby window，I noticed there was not a breeze（微风）．"I'm sorry，Tripper，" I said，sad to see his disappointed eyes，but thankful for the short period of rest from
more activities．"The wind is not blowing today．The kite won't fly．"
The determined 10-year-old replied．"I think it's windy enough．I can get it to fly，"he answered，as he hurried out through the back door．I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action．Up and down the yard he ran，pulling the kite attached to a small length of string．The plastic kite，proudly displaying a picture of Batman，remained about shoulder level．
He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him，looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind．After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination，he came back in．
I asked，"How did it go？" "Fine，" he said，"I got it to fly some．" As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf，I heard him say under his breath，"I guess I'll have to wait for the wind．"
At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart．"Alice，sometimes you are just like that．You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind．" And the voice was right．We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do．We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!
4.The writer didn't fly the kite with his nephew because she ______ ．
A. was not so experienced in flying kites
B. wanted to get relaxed
C. preferred to stay in peace and quiet
D. thought the weather was not suitable

Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo，China's equivalent to Twitter，plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks．Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel．

When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School，they also received the Yondr pouch Youdr （口袋），a locking device for their phones．The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic （磁力的）device．It's not unlocked again until the final bell rings．The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year．Adam Gelb，the vice-president，ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide，bell to bell program for this school year．The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces，something that is the very thought with Gelb．
"I really think it's about being present and engaging in the adult that's trying to teach you，and your peers that might be in your small group．That's part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread，" he said．
Brad Friedman，another teacher at the school，said he was becoming concerned with overuse of phones at school．He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones，some not socializing at all with other students．
This week，he's already seeing the difference．"Everyone else was socializing and eating
lunch together．That's what I wasn't seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst，" he said．
A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone．"I panicked，I guess．Last year when we had phones，I was using it every day，" he said．
In case of emergency，every classroom has the unlocking device．Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones．"We've gotten all 1，700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes，" said Gelb．
We spoke to four students who，despite their initial panic，agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits．
12.What can we learn about the Yondr pouch from paragraph 1？______
A. It is a device to lock phones．
B. It is a bell to unlock phones．
C. It is a device to be used for a year．
D. It is a phone intended for students．
13.The Youdr pouch is used more in Gelb's school to ______ ．
A. create space to use phones freely
B. help the students to be more outgoing

15.What can be learned from the passage？______

16.【答案】
【小题1】G 【小题2】F 【小题3】D 【小题4】A 【小题5】C
【解析】GFDAC
（1）G．考查上下文理解能力．上一句说竞争是我们社会生活中常见的现
象， "Competitionis a common phenomenon in our social life．"为一句总起句，下一句提到存在竞争的其他方
面， "There isconstant competition for academic degrees， jobs， customers， money an d so forth． "因此，此空应该起承上启下的作用．既会谈到竞争，也会涉及到竞争的具体某些方面，此空则讲当我们在玩游戏"when we play games"和学习要比别人做得更好时就会竞争 when we try to do better than others in our study，这些都是竞争的具体表现，故选 G．
（2）F．考查上下句之间因果关系．根据下一句和本段所举例子可知，正因为
"In the natural world， the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live．"在自然界中，弱肉强食，适者生存， "Therefore， the only way to survive is to be competitive． "所以生存的唯一途径就是竞争．此题干扰项
为 E"Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society．"为了适应现代社会，孩子们不得不学会有竞争力．虽然下文有提
到 "Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult． "但这句话是对本段主题的具体举例说明，并非总起句，故选 F．
（3）D．考查上下文理解．提示词在上一句讲今天大多数人 "most people"通过各种方式获取知识，许多人得到良好的教育，本空则补充讲也有许多人
"There are also many people"在他们的特殊领域拥有更高的学位，这说明人的素质在迅速提高，因此竞争也更加激烈．此题干扰项
为 B， "Modern society demands high-quality talents．"现代社会要求高智商天赋的人．虽然此句也有 quality 出现，但此段讲述人们为了增强自己的竞争力，不断获取新知识，并不是拥有与生俱来的天赋．此题故选 D．
（4）A．考查上下文理解．此空与前一句是条件关
系， "In the business world， to beat your competitors， you must be better than the other e mployees．"意思是，在商业界里，要打败你的竞争对手，你必须比其他员工更
好， "Otherwise， you will be defeated．"否则你就会被打败，故选 A．
（5）C．考查上下文理解．此空设在文章末尾，是总结句，起首尾呼应的作用．既是
本文总结，又与文章开头第一段呼应，注重语篇和文章结构关系的考察．文章开头"Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life．"竞争是我们生活中常见的现象，同时，上一句讲
"Whether in games， in study or in business alike， the aim is to win the game， the degree ， the trophy， and the contract．"无论是在比赛中，在学习中，还是在商业中，目的都是为了赢得比赛、学位、奖杯和合同，因
此， "Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life．"所以学会竞争显然是人生最好的准备，故选 C．
本文讲述的是竞争是社会生活中的常见现象．竞争和合作往往是同时存在的．我们提倡竞争的同时，不应忽略合作．
七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．

误； make an appointment约定、预约．故选A

（3）D；考查形容词辨析．我非常清楚我们学习新语言最好的（best）时间段是年轻时，因为我们的学习能力将会随着年龄的增长而下降（decline）． worst 最差、最坏； hardest 最难、最努力； least 最少．故选D

到 I was well aware that new languages are 43 learned when young…此处
