The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation. Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet, a children's heart expert, to create exact heart models from those images. He says the 3D models show information he cannot get in any other way. The 3D printed model adds a new dimension to heart surgery, allowing surgeons to see defects that might not be readily apparent in digital images.A 3D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Pictures from medical tests like a CAT scan or an MRI scan are sent to a 3D printer to create a heart in a plaster or a clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But the 3D printed model showed several defects that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3D model. He added that 3D heart models saved time during heart operations.Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institute of Health to build a 3D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.28. What’s thr limitation of digital heart images?A. A lack of close details.B. Inability to display defects.C. Failure to show personal differences.D. Inaccuracy in the size of the child’s heart.29.What can the heart model created by 3D printing do?A.It can replace the human heart.B. It can conduct heart operations.C. It can make defects readily apparent.D.It can serve as an alternative to a CAT scan.30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. Dr. Bramlet wasted a lot of time in heart operations.A. 3D heart models have not been used in surgery at present.B. All of the operations were unsuccessful without 3D models.C.The model revealed defects previously unseen in the baby's heart.31.How does Kathy Magliato feel about the 3D printing?A. Tolerant.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.DArchitect Vincent Callebaut recently introduced a plan for high-flying teams of self-sufficient aircraft that are one part of airship cities and one part hydrogen-producing floating farms. Called Hydrogenase (氧化酶）， t h e aircraft are 100% emission-free and are capable of creating hydrogen without consuming land needed for crops or forests. We’ ve seen futuristic airships before, but never one that doubles asa hydrogen-producing flying farm! Designed for the South China Sea near Hainan,Callebaut’s hydrogenase airships are completely self-sufficient and contain a specialized breed of seaweed that absorbs sunlight andCO2 to produce hydrogen.According to the architecis, "The output obtained with micro-seaweed is superior to that of using farming to produce biofuel. 330 grams of seaweed produce 1, 000 liters of hydrogen per day, while for example soybeans produce roughly 1,000 liters of oil per hectare (公顷).Ahectare of seaweed could thus produce much more biofuel than a hectareof soybeans."In addition to providing a clean source of renewable energy,Hydrogenase airships offer an eco-friendly means of transportation. Although certainly slower than ordinary planes, the airships are nearly silent and require a very little basic structure to take off and land. The architects also suggest that the airships could provide disaster relief to remote areas, and be used as flying hospitals and aid centers. Each hydrogenase airship is covered with flexible photovoltaic cells(光电池）.The interior features room for housing,offices, scientific laboratories, and entertainment, and a series of bioremediating (生物治理）vegetable gardens provide a source of food while recycling waste. Hydrogenase is certainly for futuristic concept, but il does use a setof technologies being developed today — and perhaps one day we willsee fantastic ideas like this take flight.32.What do we know about Vincent Callebaut?A.He is working on a floating farm.B.He compares many different airships.C.He has developed a self-sufficient aircraft.D.He has come up with a plan for new aircraft.33.Why do the airships contain seaweed?A.To produce oxygen.B. To create hydrogen.C. To absorb hydrogen.D. To absorb harmful gases.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Farms with seaweed produce more food.B.Farms with seaweed are more efficient at producing biofuel.C.Soybeans can’t be planted on the airships.D.Farms with seaweed will surely replace traditional farmlands.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The advantages of the airships.B.The disadvantages of the airships.C.The airships renewable energy source.D.When and where the airships can be used.第二节（共5小题;每小题3分.满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选項。

2018届山西省太原市高三下学期一模试题英语后附答案

2018届山西省太原市高三下学期一模试题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中（A 、B 、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus ，subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:♦ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it. 21. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A. Safer trips.B. Longer service hours.C. Lower costs.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities? A. By running special transport services. B. By offering fewer transportation options. C. By limiting their mobility on city buses. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation? A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet. C. Staying close to other passengers. D. Having your proof of payment at hand.BToday we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号24. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter.B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil.D. To occur or appear quickly.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of the word “spring”.B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”.D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.26. How d oes someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？A. Angry.B. Surprised.C. Happy.D. Frightened.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when descr ibed as “no spring chicken”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.CMore than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum offici als say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?A. In the 1920s.B. In 1939.C. In the 1990s.D. In 2019.29. What can we learn from Brougher’s words?A. Photos of visitors will be put on display.B. Settings in the museum will feel quite real.C. Most visitors will be presented an award.D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.30. What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood.B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood.C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.DFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle —after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tou rists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?A. It is quite affordable.B. It will be built in Russia.C. It will offer an amazing view.D. It costs $ 40 million to build.33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An orbital suite.B. Space tourism.C. Space exploration.D. A creative idea.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space.B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day.C. Space travel is not possible without the Internet.D. Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online.35. The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with .A. fun and gamesB. financial supportC. space contractorsD. more time in space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。

Crows (乌鸦) circle and squawk (尖叫), diving at him and away.Beneath the mask, he smiles. Days before, he and his students, wearing caveman masks, trapped them and placed colored plastic bands on their legs. Then they released the unhappy birds. When the researchers wandered around campus without the masks, the crows they had caught and banded did not react to them. But when the same humans walked by while wearing the masks, the crows scolded loudly and dived at their "enemies".At first, only the banded birds reacted aggressively to the people in masks. But in later tests, more and more crows joined in, and even when the banded birds were not around. "Crows think and dream, fight and play, reason and take risks," he says. "Their antics confuse us."This led him to study how crows' brains work. He and his students wore one type of mask as they captured crows and brought them into the lab, training them to link that face with danger. Then a different kind of mask for more positive activities, such as feeding and caring. Then he worked with scientists at the university who scan animal brains to see which parts of a crow's brain do certain tasks. Surprisingly, the scientists found that when the crow saw the "danger"mask, one part of its brain became active. When the crow saw the "care and feeding" mask, a different part of its brain lit up. The team has shown that crows use the same parts of their brains for recognition that humans do — something that was not known before!More than 10 years after the first mask experiment, campus crows still scold the "cavemen". Crows also recognize people who are kind to them. Crows are always watching us... and they remember.4.Why does Dr. John Marzluff smile?A. He intends to show his kindness.B. He realizes his trick has worked.C. He is amused by the happy crows.D. He is embarrassed at the crows' response.5.What does the underlined word "antics" in the third paragraph probably refer to?A. Ways of behaving.B. Hunting types.C. Flying models.D. Chances of survival.6.Which of the following words can best describe the crows according to the text?A. Sociable, intelligent and observant.B. Noisy, dangerous and annoying.C. Reasonable, cautious and aggressive.D. Strong-headed, proud and popular.7.What can we conclude about crows from the fourth paragraph?A. They share the same wisdom as humans do.B. They never forgive those who once hurt them.C. They only recognize the people who are bad to them.D. They perform tasks with different parts of their brains.阅读理解We often hear friends ask why they should read fiction. There is so much to learn from history, from what is going on at the frontiers of science, and from contemporary studies of human behavior. Why should they spend their scarce "free time" reading fiction, the purpose of which, at best, is only entertainment?We are disappointed about such comments. Yes, we respond, we do find pleasure in reading fiction. But we also learn much about how to best live our lives in ways that can only be captured by fiction. We recognize that some novels are entertaining, but leave no lasting impression. What makes a novel more than entertainment?Our answer is that we don't just read great books - they read us as well. The human condition is complex and contradictory, layered like an ice-cream dessert, with flavors mixed among the layers. A great novel reflects that complexity. We may read it several times, as we do with our favorites, and each time it is like finding an old friend and gaining new insights from that friend. We put it down with new understandings of the world around us and, most important, of ourselves.Let's look at the novel Frankenstein, written in 1818 by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is not the monster, but a young man seeking out the secrets of the universe. He collects body parts and charges it with life. When the dull yellow eyes open, however, Frankenstein, shocked by what he has done, abandons the creature, which ultimately kills Frankenstein's brother, his bride, and his best friend.On one level, Frankenstein is entertaining - a good horror story, though a little dated. But Shelley writes more than just that. On a deeper level, her book forces us to ask whether humans reach too far to gain knowledge that is as forbidden as the fruit of the Garden of Eden. This theme, as old as the legend of Prometheus (普罗米修斯), dominates Frankenstein. Shelley, of course, knew nothing of genetic (遗传的) engineering that happens today. She was deeply troubled by what human beings might discover aboutthemselves, and the effects of those discoveries on society. Our reading of great literature can also be enriched by understanding the author's personal interests and anxieties.8.How does the author feel about fiction reading?A. It is a window to a whole new world.B. It helps us discover the frontiers of science.C. It offers insight into how to live best lives.D. It holds some clues to understanding our memory.9.Why does the author say great books read us as well?A. Because they deserve reading several times.B. Because they lead us to a rich and colorful life.C. Because they explore humans' complex reality.D. Because they improve the writer-reader relationship.10.What do we know about the novel Frankenstein!A. It is based on a grand theme.B. It is a record of a historic event.C. It is merely a great horror story.D. It is about the legend of Prometheus.11.What is the best title of the text?A. Why should we read fiction?B. Can novel reading last long?C. Read for fun or read for none?D. Is Frankenstein really entertaining?阅读理解Windows are a key component in a building's design, but they are also the least energy- efficient part. According to a 2009 report by the United Nations, buildings account for 40 percent of global energy usage, and windows are responsible for half of that energy consumption. If conventional windows are used to better block sunlight passing into a building, they need expensive coatings. Even so, they can not adjust the indoor temperature effectively.Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU) have developed a smart liquid window panel that can help. By creating a mixture of micro-hydrogel (水凝胶), water, and a stabilizer, they found that it can effectively reduce energy consumption in a variety of climates. Thanks to the hydrogel, the mixture becomes hard-to-see- through when exposed to heat, thus blocking sunlight, and, when cool, it returns to its original clear state. The high heat capacity of water allows a large amount of heat energy to be stored instead of getting transferred through the glass and into the building during the hot daytime when office buildings mainly operate. The heat will then be gradually cooled and released at night when the staff are off duty.As a proof of concept, the scientists conducted outdoor tests in hot (Singapore, Guangzhou) and cold (Beijing) environments. The Singapore test revealed that the smart liquid window had a lower temperature (50°C) during the hottest time of the day (noon) compared to a normal glass window (84°C), The Beijing tests showedthat the room using the smart liquid window consumed 11 percent less energy to maintain the same temperature compared to the room with a normal glass window. They also measured when the highest value of stored heat energy of the day occurred. This "temperature peak" in the normal glass window was 2 pm, and in the smart liquid window was shifted to 3 pm. If this temperature peak shift leads to a shift in the time when a building needs to draw on electrical power to cool or warm the building, it should result in lower energy charges for users. The research team is seeking ways to cut down the cost of producing the smart window and so far, they have found several industry partners to commercialize it.12.What is the disadvantage of conventional windows?A. They are expensive.B. They are not heatproof.C. They contribute less to energy saving.D. They can't block light into the building.13.How does a smart liquid window panel work to cool buildings?A. By taking in much of heat energy.B. By returning to its original clear state.C. By getting most of sunlight transferred.D. By spreading sunlight in different directions.14.According to paragraph 3, what is the value of the temperature peak shift?A. It will make the windows long-lasting.B. It could help the building users reduce costs.C. It makes the buildings rely on no electrical power.D. It helps the windows maintain a constant temperature.15.What can we expect of the smart window in the future?A. It will be unaffordable.B. It needs to be further improved.C. It will be widely used in the city.D. It will come onto the market soon.二、任务型阅读（共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选。

She didn’t hear meproperly. “There is a what?” she shouted back. “You’ve found a chair in the house?” I cleared my throat and said again, as calmly as possible, “I think there is a bear in the house.” If there is a world speed record for repacking a backpack and leaving a building, Annabel must be a competitor, for we were outside the building within seconds.Annabel and I had already spent three days walking 80 kilometers over the mountains from the Pacific. We were in Canada’s Yukon Territory, heading towards Car cross, on the shore of Lake Bennett. Here our boat was waiting where we had left it the week before. Our plan then was to boat down the 3,000 kilometers of Yukon River to the Bering Sea.On this day, we were walking the last 48 kilometers towards Car cross, following a disused railway line. You had to keep an eye out for black bears, whose presence was obvious from the huge piles of dung(粪便)that littered the tracks.As the day drew on, we started to look for somewhere to sleep. We finally found an old railway building, which looked as if it might keep us safe from bears. Though the windows and doors had large scratch and chew marks, they were covered with boards and looked safe. Annabel went upstairs and started to unpack and settle in while I looked around downstairs.I was moving around in what was once clearly a kitchen, when, from out of a darkened doorway that I took to the storeroom, came a soft but unusual deep moan(呻吟). My curiosity raised, I started to walk towards the slightly opne door. I was halfway across the room when a low rough sound came out of the darkness and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. My natural ability was to ruin. I backed out of the room, my eyes staring at the dark doorway. We thought it might be a better idea to spend the night elsewhere.We got up early in our small tent in the morning. The night’s sleep had been all right except when a little troubled by dreams of bears. But our mood rose with the sun. We were walking along, relaxing with each step and looking forward to a big lunch at Car cross.Crossing a small wooden bridge, we left the rail tracks to have a drink. As we returned, Annabel cried out “Stop!” Looking up, I saw a f amiliar black shape behind us: another black bear was following us, moving up slowly from behind, and then disappearing rapidly into the trees when we turned to face it. How long it had been following us, we could not say.25. What can you know from the first paragraph?A. Annabel set a world speed record.B. The author was calmer than Annabel.C. Annabel’s hearing was so poor that she couldn’t hear any sounds.D. The two girls ran out of the house at high speed for fear of the bear.26. What is the author and Annabel’s final destination?A. The PacificB. Yukon TerritoryC. Car crossD. The Bering sea27. Which is TURE about the old railway building according to the passage?A. Trains pass here along the railway track.B. Bears might have come and gone around here.C. It was really a safe place to play and sleep in.D. A rough sound could be heard from the kitchen.CNowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus thewithin the “circle of friends” of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”The “spare time”he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts andfeelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1?A. surprisinglyB. sadlyC. busilyD. peacefully29. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Being alone marks people depressed.B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by peopleD. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.30. What can we know from Einstein’s words?A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C. You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.31. Which may be the best title for this passage?A. Live On Your OwnB. Happiness and LonelinessC. The secret of successD. Practice Your Social AbilityDAging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There isconflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: Attitude is everything.Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older."The notion that those in old age are happiest is misleading," said Richard Easterlin, a professor of economics at the University of Southern California. "It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health, family life." Easterlin added, "When you take account of the fact that older people have lower income than younger, are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier.In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.Even if one does give in to age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand. It's all about attitude. Research by the University of Chicago’s Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life. “Most people desire happiness,” Easterlin said. “To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness.”32. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. The key factor to older adults’ happinessB. There is a conflict between aging and happinessC. No one can define the limit to happiness.D. The relationship between health and happiness.33. Why are some seniors happier according to some experts?A. They focus on what makes them feel good.B. They have their own circle of friends.C. They have better income after retirement.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. People of the same age have the same sense of happiness.B. Attitude may play a very important role in happiness.C. People who adapt the best to changes are more likely to be unhappy.D. Older adults who have more valuable life experience are more optimistic.35. What’s the topic discussed in the passage?A. Whether aging or attitude brings happiness.B. Why seniors adapt the best to changes in society.C. What the limit to an elder person’s happiness is.D. How older people feel compared with younger people.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。

ATo achieve further education, international students must take a standardized test of English. Three popular tests are TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS.Here are several introductions for a student applying to a school to learn which test the program requires.The TOEIC tests workplace communicationThe TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.The TOEFL tests English used in the classroomThere are several versions of the TOEFL.Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions. Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior T est is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary T est is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skillsThe IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary T est.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT forinternational student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three popular testsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger. While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s at mosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Ea rth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this pla net.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the h abitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build. When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. T o tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fou rth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which is a better way for a student ina foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. T o create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. T o talk with a Caucasian avatar.DJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million). Web celebrities and many fans even posted top ics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, atwhich heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese s tyle heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to。

2018年山西省太原市高考英语模拟试卷(3月份)

2018年山西省太原市高考英语模拟试卷（3月份）第二部分阅读理解第一节：（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1. Urban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation （bus, subway, train, etc．）． The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada． To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass． Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period （one month or more）． They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often．Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities． In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses． You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options．Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space． Here are a few things to note:♦ Be polite and respectful to others around you． For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call．♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by．♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself． Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space．♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it．（1） What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets？________A.Safer trips．B.Longer service hours．C.Lower costs．D.More use of transport．（2） How does the transportation system help people with disabilities？________A.By running special transport services．B.By offering fewer transportation options．C.By limiting their mobility on city buses．D.By providing free rides in towns and cities．（3） What is considered impolite on public transportation？________A.Lowering your speaking voice．B.Placing backpacks at your feet．C.Staying close to other passengers．D.Having your proof of payment at hand．【答案】CAA【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了公共交通及过境通行证，残疾人交通以及公共交通礼仪．【解答】（1）C 细节理解题，根据第一段Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period （one month or more）． They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often．可知如果你经常乘坐交通工具那么使用过境通行证买票会便宜很多，故选C．（2）A 细节理解题，根据第二段 In many cities and towns， there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility， such as specially equipped buses．可知在许多城市和城镇，也有专为行动不便的人的运输服务，如专门配备的公车，故选A．（3）A 细节理解题，根据第四段Be polite and respectful to others around you． For example， maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call．可知在谈话或打电话时维持一个适当的噪声水平是礼貌的，因此声音不能过高也不能过低，故选A．2. Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months． Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening． Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth． Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season． It is also a verb that means something goingon or coming out quickly．When you put “spring” and “life” together,you will get “springto life”． This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you．Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match．Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil （线圈）that is wound tightly． When the coil unwinds, it often jumps． So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active． He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks．There is another way we use “spring” as a description． In the case of a “spring chicken”,“spring” means young． However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all． So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”． For example, let’s say y ou know an 85﹣year﹣old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before． You could say, “That’s amazing! After all,he’s no spring chicken．”But be careful when using this expression． It could be a little disrespectful． L et’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow,she’s no spring chicken．”That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move．（1）What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”？________A.The season after winter．B.Being young and healthy．C.A tightly wound metal coil．D.To occur or appear quickly．（2）What is the passage mainly about？________A.The origin of the word “spring”．B.The meaning of the season “spring”．C.Some expressions with the word “spring”．D.Some characteristics of the season “spring”．（3）How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？________A.Angry．B.Surprised．C.Happy．D.Frightened．（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？________A.Being young is a great advantage in career development．B.Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”．ing “spring﹣related” expressions in conversations seems impolite．D.Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others．【答案】DCCB【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了“春天”这个词的一些表达方式．【解答】（1）D．细节理解题．根据文章 It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly．When you put “spring” and “life” together，you will get “spring to life”可知春天“在”生命之泉"这句话中的意思是迅速出现或出现；故选D．（2）C．细节理解题．根据文章But the word “spring” is not just a season． It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly可知这篇文章主要讲的是“春天”这个词的一些表达方式；故选C．（3）C．细节理解题．根据文章 So，we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active． He might even appear to jump， or bounce a little when he walks可知当某人“有一个春天在脚下”时，他是快乐的；故选C．（4）B．细节理解题．根据文章But be careful when using this expression． It could be a little disrespectful．Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife， and you say，“Wow，she’s no spring chicken可知当被描述为”没有小鸡"时，女性可能会觉得受到冒犯；故选B．3. More than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum． Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019．The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939．Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film﹣making process．Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum． Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80, 000 screenplays as well as props （道具）, costumes and other objects from famous films． The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes （小雕像） donated by actors who won the awards．Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in amovie, too, with many interactive experiences．“You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next, ” he adds．“You’ll be in environments sometimes tha t make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring．” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award．Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors． They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented． But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities．Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place． Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film ﹣related businesses． He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry．（1） When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward？________ A.In the 1920s． B.In 1939．C.In the 1990s．D.In 2019．（2） What can we learn from Brougher’s words？________A.Photos of visitors will be put on display．B.Settings in the museum will feel quite real．C.Most visitors will be presented an award．D.Actors will donate much money to the museum．（3）What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum？________A.Supportive．B.Critical．C.Disapproving．D.Cautious．（4） What is the best title for the passage？________A.The Film﹣making Process in Hollywood．B.The Film﹣making Process of Hollywood．C.Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums．D.Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum．【答案】ABD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文讲述的是好莱坞官方电影组织上个世纪20年代提出建立自己的博物馆计划，而这一计划终于要成为现实，美国影艺学院博物馆将于2019年开放，从此以后好莱坞终于有了自己的电影博物馆了．【解答】（1） A．数字计算题．根据文章第一段More than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum． Those plans are finally becoming a reality， with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019可知自好莱坞官方电影组织首次提出建立自己的博物馆计划以来，已经过去了90多年，而这一计划终于要成为现实，美国影艺学院博物馆将于2019年开放，由此可以计算，最初提出这个主意是在十九世纪二十年代，故答案为A．（2）B．细节推理题．根据文章内容Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie， too， with many interactive experiences可知布鲁尔说，博物馆的目的是让游客觉得自己是在一部电影里，也有许多互动体验，说明背景非常真实，故答案为B．（3）A．观点态度题．根据文章最后一段He says they， too， will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry可知他说，他们也将最终能够成为庆祝自己的好莱坞电影业的可以参观的地方，可以判断他对此是肯定的支持的，故答案为A（4）D．文章题目题．通读全文可知，好莱坞官方电影组织上个世纪20年代提出建立自己的博物馆计划，而这一计划终于要成为现实，美国影艺学院博物馆将于2019年开放，可知“好莱坞终于有了自己的电影博物馆”为最佳标题，故答案为D．4.
