山东省某校等三校2018届高三上学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. The First City You Should Visit Next YearIt’s about time to make travel plans for 2018, and the experts at Lonely Planet say one city should be first on your list.Seville, Spain took top honors in the travel site’s annual Best in Travel roundup(简报). Seville ranked first due to its ly new network of biking paths and a set of special local activities related to the anniversary of legendary painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The city has also enjoyed some screen love lately. Seville was featured on “Game of Thrones" this year and will host the European Film Awards in 2018, making it a prime time to visit this brilliant historical hangout.Even if you don’t stop by next year, Seville deserves a spot on your travel bucket list. The city is known for its rich history, superb architecture and authentic culture that includes plenty of tapas tasting and Flamenco dancing.Must-sees include Seville’s central cathedral(大教堂), a UNESCO world heritage(遗产)site. The Alcázar's palace and gardens were built over a 100-year span. Off the beaten track, you’11 find charming neighborhoods, bars, markets and churches waiting for your exploration.USA Today,says it’s best to visit Seville in s pring, when weather is warm and the city celebrates both the Easter Holy Week and its annual fair.（1）What do the underlined words “Game of Thrones" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A An activityB A TV seriesC A palaceD A painting（2）What do we know about Seville from the third paragraph?A It’s diverseB It’s conservativeC It's fashionableD It’s controversial（3）When is probably the best time to visit Seville?A JanuaryB AprilC SeptemberD November2. In a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think it'd be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd．Being named Stacia（pronounced stay﹣sha）is not so lucky to me．I'll get the occasional "Your name is so pretty" after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness．For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn't a real word．I couldn't even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five．I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class．After a while I stopped correcting him, and that's been my reaction to strangers ever since．In other cases, I'd rather tell the seller my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time．Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I've realized it's easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases．Actually I did ﹣﹣ so many times that Brittany is now my chosen "going out" name．It may have caused some confusion for my friends at first, who would let out a small laugh or have a confused look, but I've trained them to keep a straight face whenever I whip out this fake（假的）name．Now going out on weekends means I getto have a shift of identity．Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life．Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should．I also love it when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles．To any other Stacias reading this ﹣ I feel you, girl．P．S．I apologize to any real Brittanys out there．Thanks for letting me borrow your name．（1）How does the author often feel about her name？________A Happy．B Frustrated．C Foolish．D Proud．．（2）Why does the author use a fake name？________A To enjoy a different name．B To stand out in a crowd．C To save time and trouble．D To make a fool of herself．．（3）What's the reaction of her friends to "Brittany" finally？________A They are used to it．B They are laughing at her．C They are confused about it．D They are strongly against her．．（4）How does the author sound when telling the story？________A Humorous．B Nervous．C Curious．D Guilty．3. When was the last time you sent a postcard? The UK’s family owned oldest postcard firm, which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card, people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to show friends and family at home just how much fun they're having.If you get a postcard from someone who's away somewhere, it's as much the thought that they've gone through the hassle（麻烦）of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard. But that tim e has gone.Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable."Increasingly challenging trading conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,” the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent, “we have also had to consider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business."（1）What is the best title of the text?A UK's oldest postcard firm set to close.B Postcard industry booming in thefuture. C UK's postcard firm through a tough time. D Postcard industry needing support to survive.（2）What’s the value of sending a postcard?A It’s a journey of love.B It’s a symbol of sympathy.C It’s an act ofpatience. D It’s a way of passing time.（3）What does the underlined word “viable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A Worthy of praise.B Possible to change.C Short of money.D Likely to exist.（4）Where does this text probably come from?A A business column.B A finance report.C A hi-tech advertisement.D A book review.4.Many teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures on social media accounts. But most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart sign is an easy way to stay in touch, but those "likes" can have power that goes beyond a simple connection. It's no surprise: Feedback（反馈）from others affects how teens behave. And not always in a good way. For example, in one study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. "That suggests the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval," explained Lauren Sherman of Temple University.Sherman wanted to know whether teens make similar changes to their behavior when they use social media. To find out, she and her team had 32 teens submit photos from their personal Instagram accounts. The researchers mixed the teens' photos with other pictures from public Instagram accounts. Then they randomly gave half of the pictures many likes (between 23 and 45). They gave the other half no more than 22 likes. The participants' own pictures were equally divided between getting many or few likes. The researchers told the participants that about 50 other teens had already viewed and rated the photos, which let the participants know how big the audience was and also gave the teens a feel for how popular the pictures were.As a result, the team found teens were much more likely to like pictures that seemed popular (those that had more than 22 likes) and tended to overlook pictures with few likes. The data show that likes can have a subtle but major effect on how teens interact（互动）with friends online. "The little number appearing below a picture affects the way people look at that picture," Sherman reported. "It can even affect their tendency to click 'like' themselves."（1）What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A "Likes" online can affect teens' behavior.B A lot of "likes" can confuse the viewers.C Social media accounts do harm to teens.D Teens are too occupied with the Internet.（2）What do we know about Sherman's research?A About 80 teens took part in it.B 16 photos got more than 22 likes.C The teensviewed each other's photos. D The teens looked at the photos in groups.（3）What can be inferred from Sherman's research?A Social media are a major part of a teen's life.B Likes determine how people like their looks.C Teens can be deeply influenced by their friends.D Many likes online can lead to even more likes.（4）In which section of a website can we probably read this text?A Body ＆ Brain.B Humans ＆ Society.C Science ＆ Invention.DE arth ＆ Environment.二、七选五5. We all have one，don't we？A friend who's always late．The one who turns up for coffeea full half hour after the appointed time．（1）_______．The dear pal who sends a message saying"Sorry，bit delayed．"，when they're already 20 minutes behind schedule．Or just maybe，if you're really honest，this persistently lardy （拖延的）individual is actually youself．（2）_______．How on earth can people be so inconsiderate？Recent research suggest that there might be more to this than simple rudeness．Psychologists from Washington University believe people view time differently．（3）_______．It even provided them with a clock．Despite this，some people became so absorbed in the activity that they completely forgot to cheek the clock．（4）_______．The less punctual among us often share characteristics such as"optimism，low levels of self﹣control，anxiety．"Why optimism，you ask？Optimists tend to overestimate how much they can achieve and underestimate problems，which means they don't account for the long traffic jam on the way to meet you for that coffee．Here's another thought：maybe language is to blame？The English phrase"to be fashionably late"is used to describe the proper time to arrive at an event．If you're too early，you can appear overly eager，but if you're bit late，you seem cool and sophisticated（老练的）．The problem is，what one person regards as fashionably late，another may view as plain impolite．（5）_______．A．Our personality also plays a roleB．Keep a distance from those full of excusesC．Next time you have coffee，do try to be on timeD．The one who seems lo be forever"stuck in traffic"E．Either way，lateness can be extremely annoying to the receiving end F．Participants were required to set down how long they finished a taskG．Their study gave participants a specific amount of time to complete a task三、完形填空6.

With the rapid spread of western cultures,a【小题1】(grow)number of Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine’s Day【小题2】(come),youngsters will flood into bars,restaurants, or department stores to celebrate these festivals, but actu ally they don’t know much about Chinese traditional festivals.The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society controlled by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad【小题3】(identify)as fashionable and new, while traditional ones are usually something out of date and old. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style【小题4】(especial)the life in Hollywood films,【小题5】their goal of life. As a consequence,【小题6】is no wonder that Chinese young people have much more affection for Christmas than China’s Spring Festival.We should think about the influence of such【小题7】social phenomenon carefully. It is obvious that the wide spread and recognition of western holidays is【小题8】(harm)to our traditional value. if we don, t take some【小题9】(measure) right now, some day in the future, Chinese cultural heritage may be strange to our grandchildren. It is high time for the government and all people【小题10】(take)action to protect our traditional culture.五、短文改错8. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

AAre you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.CX-1Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.AiboSony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.ForpheusForpheus, an “a thleti c” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teachesusers how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.Black Box VRThough many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.21．What is the feature of CX-1?A．It can be opened by facial expressions.B．It can recognize and follow its owner.C．It can move very fast in busy places.D．It can sense the suitcase’s location.22．Who would most probably want an Aibo?A.

People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.23．Which product can help people work out regularly in a gym?A．CX-1. B．Aibo. C．Forpheus. D．Black Box VR.BA serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workingplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.24. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government support for old people.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.25. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Impossible.B. Practical.C. Useful.D. Successful.26. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.27. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.COne of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory cu lture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. atIIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.28. What may happen to the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai?A. Feel lonely and even suicidal.B. Perform well in studies.C. Know their classmates better.D. Participate in social activities.29. What does t he underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting30. What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. All electronics students hate the banning order.B. Some students complain about the banning order.C. There is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since.D. More students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet.DChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian carp，a giant fish native to the Far East, from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbers. Such a move could cost up to$18bn, a heavy economic burden to the city.This species, more than a metre in length, was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage (污水) treatment plants. But they escaped into the Mississippi River and increased in number quickly, making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threatening the native fish species along the way.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats approach.’’ Michael Beecham，a local environmental expert, described how frightening the scene was. “I’ve gone down the river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face．It is a big problem for our native species.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem, one of which i nvolves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal system．Listening at the meeting was John Goss, who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the canal system would have on industry. “Itwould certainly increase the cost of transportation,” he told. “I t is currently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence. Dirk Fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包) at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago．He thinks the carps are a great resource. “To catch it and throw it away is a waste,” he says. “Eating them helps solve the problem and also provides jobs.” But the idea has not yet caught on．So far，he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers.32．What can we learn about the Asian carp according to the passage?A. It is very adaptable to the new environment.B. It is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes.C. It has become a new food in many restaurants.D. It has caused parts of Chic ago’s canal system to be blocked.33．From John Goss’s point of view，the building of barriers ______________.A. can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB. may lead to the increasing cost of industrial productsC. will help the canal system work more efficientlyD. will bring high profits to the related companies34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A.

AAre you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.CX-1Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.AiboSony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.ForpheusForpheus, an “a thleti c” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.Black Box VRThough many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.21．What is the feature of CX-1?A．It can be opened by facial expressions.B．It can recognize and follow its owner.C．It can move very fast in busy places.D．It can sense the suitcase’s location.22．Who would most probably want an Aibo?A. People who want to walk a dog.B. People who often play tricks on others.C. People who want to take high-quality photographs.D. People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.23．Which product can help people work out regularly in a gym?A．CX-1. B．Aibo. C．Forpheus. D．Black Box VR.BA serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years ofretirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.24. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government support for old people.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.25. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Impossible.B. Practical.C. Useful.D. Successful.26. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.27. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.COne of India’s top engineering schools has restri cted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitor y culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Mond ay, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.28. What may happen to the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai?A. Feel lonely and even suicidal.B. Perform well in studies.C. Know their classmates better.D. Participate in social activities.29. What does t he underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting30. What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. All electronics students hate the banning order.B. Some students complain about the banning order.C. There is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since.D. More students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet.DChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian carp，a giant fish native to the Far East, from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbers.

Ready to join the party and plan a visit to O-Town? Just print out our list that suits your style.Universal Orlando’s Islands of AdventureThe addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was among the list of must-visits for theme park enthusiasts. Each of the park’s “islands” —Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, and The Lost Continent — has unique appeal inthe form of rides and interactive attractions.GatorlandIt bills itself as “Orlando’s best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money. Catch Gatorland’s animals and han dler shows in the afternoon. There’s a nighttime run as well, including the Gator Night Shine and various activities. Gatorland ranks as a comparative theme-park bargain.AquaticaOne of the city’s most unique water parks, Aquatica is a fantastical worl d of twisting, turning rides and sparkling white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of terror with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is an eight-story mind-bender of a plummet that is not for the weak heart. The less exciting will still find plenty of fun splashing from one giant wave pool to another or drifting down the lazy river through a world of unusual fish. You can also watch the black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins underwater.Warbird AdventuresFew attractions are more hands-on historic than Warbird Adventures, which offers thrill-seekers the opportunity to fly like the hero aces of World War II in the North American T-6 T exan. Flights range from 15 minutes to an hour. A visit to the nearby Kissimmee Air Museum is a wonderful way to round out the experience.（1）For fans of Harry Potter, there’s ________.A . Universal Orlando’s Islands of AdventureB . GatorlandC . AquaticaD . Warbird Adventures（2）According to the fourth paragraph, we know Ihu’s Breakaway Falls ________.A . needs a strong heartB . lies under the waterC . ranges from 15 minutes to an hourD . is suitable for some after-park drinks（3）If you want to experience the fly like a hero in World War II, you can call ________.A . 407-363-8000B . 407-855-5496C . 407-351-3600D . 407-870-736618. 阅读理解A handsome middle-aged man walked quietly into the café and sat down. Before he ordered, he couldn’t help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, “This?”With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said, “Hey, sorry, man, but we were just commenting on ho w pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to,not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.”“Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?”“No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.”“Umm,” the young replied, “yeah.”“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife,” the man continued.“And she’s okay, too?” the you ng guy asked.“Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts, and her health.”“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?”“No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ……”Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry, mister.”“So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here…” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “……?”（1）The young men joked about the middle-aged man’s _____.A . looksB . ribbonC . attitudeD . clothes（2）What may have happened to the man’s daughter?A . She died of breast cancer.B . She was ill with cancer.C . She had gone abroad.D . She got married.（3）What will the young man probably ask?A . May I give it to my mother?B . Can you help me put it on?C . Will you please forgive me?D . Shall we have some drink together?（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . An Unusual Meeting.B . An Impressive Lesson.C . Be Grateful to Your Beloved.D . Little Pink Ribbon19. 阅读理解Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States —we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Me dical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks’ unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitter ly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent .” In fact, every step of the way, as Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental supportdepends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects — and needs — parents to provide their children with continuity of care. And society expects — and needs — parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but important to the future of society. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s citizens. In fact, by so me estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20-30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits — as they clearly do — the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.（1）What do we learn about paid family leave according to Paragraph 1?A . It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.B . Setting up this policy made Australia less influential.C . It has now become a hot topic in the United States.D . No such policy is applied in the United States.（2）What makes it hard to take work-family balance measures in the States?A . The incompetence of the Democrats.B . The opposition from business circles.C . The lack of a precedent in American history.D . The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.（3）What is Professor Anne Alstott’s argument for parental support?A . Children need continuous care.B . Good parenting benefits society.C . The cost of raising children has been growing.D . The U. S. should keep up with other developed countries.（4）Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice?A . Parenting is regarded as a moral duty.B . Parenting relies largely on social support.C . Parenting produces huge moral benefits.D . Parenting is basically a social undertaking.20. 阅读理解The Loss of InnocenceInnocence is such a precious gift. It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults thatinfluence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods.Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost. It was God’s will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.（1）The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be _____.A . avoidedB . ignoredC . acceptedD . encouraged（2）Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that _____.A . proper education would be providedB . there would be no racial discriminationC . more happy families would be guaranteedD . people would realize their childhood dreams（3）According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of _____.A . motivational willB . mental abilityC . adventurous ambitionsD . needed goods（4）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: ConclusionA .B .C .D .四、任务型阅读21. 任务型阅读Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason isthat we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves.________But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy , I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent.________Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20.________And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there’s no way your audience will.________—how you are going to open, w hat major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.________A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn’t go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech.D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.E. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.F. When you know where you’re headed, you can choose any route to get there.G. No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row.五、书面表达22. 假设你是红星中学学生会主席李华。

Th e tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stopped to think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.”Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of familyjewelry as their old item. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by their mother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchased her wedding dress new, it may represent her new item, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to your marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity, fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchase a silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters and invitations.（1）Why does the first paragraph and with two questions?A . To invite readers to answer them at onceB . To show the importance of this traditionC . T o have readers’ interest and attentionD . To test readers’knowledge about wedding（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A . Something old might also be something borrowed actuallyB . The part of the tradition “silver sixpence” is never used nowC . The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friendD . Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . No brides now are not familiar with the silver sixpenceB . Every item represents something good for the new coupleC . The bride will be more beautiful with all these five itemsD . Of the five items, something blue is the most important one（4）Which word can replace the underlined word “fidelity” in the sixth paragraph?A . SuccessB . WealthC . LoyaltyD . Opportunity4. 阅读理解Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you eve r thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or seared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Ourhearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you ha d kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.（1）When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, .A . they feel very regretful immediatelyB . their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC . their hearts beat either faster or slowerD . they may get ready toattack or run away（2）Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A . They are usually not as alert as animalsB . They sometimes can’t control their feelingsC . They always do something wrong to other peopleD . They don’t pay attention to their physical changes（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant resultsB . Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboardC . Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them inD . It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside（4）What is the purpose of this passage?A . To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboardB . To give us some advice on how to express our feelingsC . To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper wayD . To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely5. 阅读理解Diamonds are considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth. Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic beat and pressure. When a volcano is active, it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.However, at the same time of such a disaster, diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosionsmillions of years ago. Thus, it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcanic eruption. Besides, diamonds are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea, for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.Diamonds are very rare. There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world. During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich.The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world’s diamonds now come from the Congo, from Tanzania-which has the largest diamond mine in the world and also from South Africa.（1）What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?A . Diamonds are always accompanied by volcano eruptionsB . Diamonds are created by volcano eruptionsC . Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealthD . Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks（2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?A . CongoB . South AfricaC . IndiaD . Western Europe（3）What can we know from the third paragraph?A . Diamond mining can be dangerous for the minersB . Brazil plays a moreimportant role in diamond miningC . River Amazon has no large diamond mines nowadaysD . Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining（4）What does the underlined sentence mean in the lost paragraph?A . Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long timeB . The diamond deposit in eastern Russia wasn’t discovered until re centlyC . Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond miningD . The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining三、任务型阅读6. 任务型阅读When high temperatures are around the country, some things also go up. Here are four things expected to rise along with our desire to stay indoors and best the heat.①Sales of goods that keep you cool.Malls are high on the list of places where people often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer.________Goods related to keeping cool, like air conditioners, fans or sun care items, are very popular.②________Pests like stink bugs grow fast during summer heat waves, and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last year’s incident that harmed fruit and crops, particularly on the East Coast.③Energy bills________With all those air conditioners and fans working, it makes sensethat energy bills will be higher than average.________“Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July, it will also put increased stress on power plants, and we’re going to see more air pollution because of it,” says Angela Fritz.④ViolenceHeat waves may cause violence, right?Not necessarily, says Richard Larrick, a researcher. He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball. Larrick and his research team examined 57,294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1952 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence, there always has to be a motive. “________Instead, heat affects a specific form of violence,” he said.A. Air pollutionB. Pest populationC. Rising heat is the expected response in any summerD. Heat does not directly lend to more violence in generalE. More and more people are worried about their expensesF. As more energy is used, air-quality problems may occurG. So it’s not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.四、语法填空7. 语法填空Marry of us wake up feeling________ in the morning. Many of us ignore the problem as the day goes on,________ that it might have a________ effect. Societyeven glorifies “burning the candle at both ends” as________sign of our devotion to work and family.Believe it________not, all this bad sleep has far-reaching consequences. We just do not give ourselves enough chances to sleep. A survey of over 74,000 people found 35 percent reported sleeping less than seven hours daily________average. Furthermore, the amount of sleep________ greatly over the past 15 years.This lack of sleep can lead of many serious________. One study found that________ limiting yourself to six hours of sleep a night for two weeks had similar effects to staying up all night the night before,________could make you perform poorly on a timed attention task.五、短文改错8. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文，文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。

He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realied that dealing with others’ artwor was not his profession, his true love was to become an artist himself.He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.Van Gogh’s paintings are amaing representations o f his view of the world. The colors jump off the canvas（画布）, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush stroes（笔画）. V an Gogh avoided light, feathery stroes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to mae layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional.Perhaps one of the most memorable eamples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sy swirls（打旋）across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brush stroe creates the image of movement. Under the sy rests a village painted with smaller stroes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glance of the beauty of the night sy. The Starry Night shows Van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects.Van Gog spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paint he created during those years. Yet Van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. He influence is evident; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artwor can be found in museums all over the would and is val ued in the millions of dollars, a testament to Vincent Van Gogh’s talent.29. How did Van Gogh learn to paint?A. By reading many boos about art.B. By familiariing himself with basic techniques.C. By closely observing the world around him.D. By carefully studying the techniques of others.30. What does the author seem to admire most about Van Gogh’s paintings?A. The images.B. The mood.C. The brushwor.D. The themes.31. Why does the author refer to The Starry Nigh t?A. To praise Van Gogh’s ability.B. To show Van Gogh’s style of painting.C. To show Van Gogh’s respect of nature.D. To honnor the great genius.DIn colleges around the country, most students are also worers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wae up late, party all the time, and study only before eams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isn’t a temporary phenom enon. The share of woring students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students wor year round. About one-quarter of those who wor while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social sills that mae it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looing for students with already-developed sill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.But it’s not all upside. Even full-time wor may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living epenses. The study notes that if a student wored a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacr ificing time away from the classroom, many woring students will still graduate with at least some debt. And woring full time canreduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing wor and class are liely to find themselves stuc in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. T he difficulty of woring too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.32.What is the reality of college students?A. They throw parties a lot.B. They stay up late every night.C. They pay no attention to eams.D. They wor besides attending classes.33.What has caused the increasing number of woring students?A. The need of developing social networs.B. The lac of summer jobs for young adults.C. The chance of finding a job after graduation.D. The epenses of high tuition and living costs.34.We can learn from the passage that ______.A. woring students are more liely to finish collegeB. students can cover their college epenses through woringC. students receive a huge reward for managing wor and classD. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits35.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job.B. The Struggle of Wor-School Balance.C. The Reward of Woring While Studying.D. The Images of Woring College Students.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
