2023届四川省双流中学高三第三次模拟检测英语试题
2023届四川省双流中学高三第三次模拟检测英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解The first rule of popular science is to reveal the wonder and mystery of the world. For that reason, Sentient (Picador), written by photographer and wildlife film-maker Jackie Higgins, is my pick of the year. According to my interviews with many readers, I select other four newly-published books in 2022.DeliciousThis book describes how our ancestors hunted and consumed ancient animals such as mammoths, bison, giant camels and many more now-extinct species. The diet of the Clovis peoples of North America was a menu described as “a record of a lost world”. This book explains how our dinners robbed the world of so many large animals. It gives inspiration for how modern humans can be at peace with nature.The New Climate WarIn 1999, Mann published a graph showing the rapid post-industrial rise in global temperatures. Two decades later, his book The New Climate War remains convinced that we can prevent climate change. This book sets out a common-sense approach to carbon pricing and a revision of the Green New Deal. Of course, there are still many people who deny that climate change is even happening.The Geodesic DomePhysicist Kate Greene imagines that she spends four months in a geodesic dome in Hawaii, with five other people, to mimic living in a colony on another planet. The story describes the future of our Earth. Kate makes readers cherish the natural environment. “No sunshine on our skin, and no fresh air in our lungs,” Greene turns the frustrations into a moving story.Florida Scrub-JayThe birds were once common across the peninsula. But as development over the last 100 years reduced the habitats on which the bird depends, the species became endangered. Mark Walters travels the state to report on the natural history and the current situation of Florida’s flag ship birds. This book can raise people’s awareness of protecting the birds’ habitats. 1.What can we infer about the author from the text?A.He’s a column journalist.B.He’s a scientist.C.He’s a film-maker.D.He’s a photographer.2.Which book might be science fiction?A.Delicious.B.Florida Scrub-Jay.C.The Geodesic Dome.D.The New Climate War.3.What do the listed books have in common?A.They have happy endings.B.They record the natural history. C.They face doubts from many scientists.D.They involve the environmental protection.Children may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning—according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.Researchers investigated how 18–24-month-olds learn new words—in the context of words they already know well and those they don’t. The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and carers could help boost language development.Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and see an object they have never seen in the context of some objects that they can already name, such as a toy or a ball, they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.Dr. Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know if the strength of a child’s knowledge of familiar things—how well they know what “cars” or “balls” are, for example—mattered for learning new words and remembering them. They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them. And then they got some really surprising findings.“We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words, but we found the opposite was true.” Dr Samuelson said. “This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost children’s ability to remember new word-object links – by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning.”It seems counterintuitive, but it is perhaps because the less well-known items don’t compete with the new words as much. If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book, they don’t process the new word as much.4.What is the purpose of the new research?A.To challenge the findings of previous studies.B.To observe the process of children’s learning.C.To better understand children’s word learning.D.To compare children’s different learning styles.5.What can be inferred from Dr. Samuelson’s words?A.Their findings are out of expectation.B.Their research should focus on children. C.We should be more patient with children.D.We need to provide guidance on learning. 6.What does the underlined word “counterintuitive” mean in the last paragraph? A.Consistent.B.Encouraging.C.Impractical.D.Unreasonable. 7.What does the text mainly tell us?A.Less familiar words help children learn better.B.Word-object links contribute to better learning.C.New research finds the secrets of raising children.D.Children learn better with the help of their parents.A child who suffers bullying (霸凌) usually has low self-respect and their ability to learn and be successful at school is greatly lessened. Therefore, bullying must be stopped.The best and most obvious way to stop bullying in schools is for parents to change the way they treat their children at home. Of course, this is much easier said than done and everyone treats their children differently. Bullies, however, come from homes where physical punishment is used and children have been taught that physical violence is the way to handle problems and “get their way”. Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot, so they have been modeled on such violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullies’ lives and there seems to be little warmth.Early intervention (干预) is truly the best way to stop bullying, but parents of the victims or therapists (治疗师) cannot alter the bully’s home environment. Some things can be done at the school level, however.Most school programs that address bullying use a multi-faceted (多方面的) method to the problem. This usually involves the advice of some sort, either by peers, a school adviser, teachers, or the principal.Hand out questionnaires to all students and teachers and discuss if bullying is occurring.Define exactly what constitutes (构成) bullying at school. The questionnaire is a wonderful tool that allows the school to see how widespread bullying is and what forms it is taking. It is a good way to start to solve the problem.Get the children’s parents involved in a bullying program. If parents of the bullies and the victims are not aware of what is going on at school, then the whole bullying program will not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyone’s part. Bullying also should be discussed during parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Parental awareness is the key.In the classroom setting, all teachers should work with the students on bullying. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying. Children understand modeling behaviors and role-play and acting out bullying situations is a very effective tool. Have students role-play a bullying situation. 8.In the author’s opinion, bullies usually ________.A.have extremely high self-esteem B.don’t know the harm of violence C.look forward to parental involvement D.experience or witness violence at home 9.What does the underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Know B.Change C.Remove D.Compare 10.It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that it’s important to _______.A.make a bullying program effective.B.find the key to solving bullying at school C.make parents aware of bullying at school D.let parents know their children are bullies 11.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to stop bullying in schools.B.What leads to violence in schools. C.What parents can do to stop bullying.D.How to comfort those who are bullied.The Healthy Habits Survey (调查) shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?●Finding:A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.●Step:Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush.

Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And,most important,wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3.How often do you think about fighting germs?●Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.●Step:Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?

2011年全国公共英语三级模拟试题及答案
2011年全国公共英语三级模拟试题及答案TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there —moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,”I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?”he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,”he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ”he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,”he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody —even though I’d be risking all on anunfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.”(in the last paragraph)Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible)Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect……[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels……[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C )given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied.A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

Someone you had great confidence in,surely.But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to mm to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice,including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who —as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are.In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University,for example,I found mat people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they’re addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments.subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures,some of which were in focus and some of which wereunclear.For each picture,subjects guessed twice:the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant.When the pictures were in focus,we found,subjects tended to discount the advice;apparently,they were confident in their ability to guess correctly.When the pictures were unclear,subjects leaned heavily on me advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion.Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received--consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall.They would have done better if they’d considered the advice equally,and to a moderate degree,on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice—related prejudice I've found people compels to overvalue advice that they pay for.In one study conducted,subjects answered different sets of questions about American history.Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were.In one version of the experiment,people could get advice for free,while in another version,they paid for it.When they paid for advice,people tended to have firm belief in it,I suspect,by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.51.In the face of a mission—critical decision,people tend to __________.[A]trust their own efforts[B]rely on research findings[C]get affected by other’s opinion[D]seek help from the more knowledgeable52.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often __________.[A]discount others’ advice[B]overlook others’ advice[C]disagree with others’ advice[D]over-rely on others’ advice53.The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions __________.[A]strengthen people’s initial opinion[B]strengthen people’s self-confidence[C]influence people’s response to advice[D]influence people’s guess of weight loss54.It can be inferred that people are likely to __________.[A]undervalue free advice[B]overvalue peer’s advice[C]misinterpret specialist’s advice[D]misjudge their instinctual belief55.The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal __________.[A]how to follow others’ advice[B]how to understand others’ advice[C]what causes people to seek advice[D]what affects people’s attitude to adviceText 3Top National Health Service(NHS)nurses will be able to earn $40,000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures. New“supernurse”grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum$28,000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators.Hundreds of experienced and highly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity·While only a few thousand of Britain’s 332,000 NHS nurses will qualify for the$40,000 plus salary. Fast track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase the pay of many more.The governmentannounced that a new simplified career structure would see just four grades replacing the existing six.Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade,followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimately consultant practitioner and a$40,000salary.“Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernization,”said a government official“These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to Patients·We do not think mat in order to be paid more,nurses should have to move into management·Nurses working at the sharpened of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalizes them for wanting to stay there.”The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and Improve opportunities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in part-time roles·The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms.The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers.56 Hundreds of experienced nurses are lost to patient care every year because they__________·[A]dislike the nursing job[B]are dissatisfied with their pay[C]are replaced by“super nurses”[D]lack further training for the profession57.The new system will mostly benefit those who__________·[A]move into management[B]work on a part time basis[C]have retired from the nursing job[D]have reached the top of the system58.The new career structure is different from the existing one in its__________.[A]quality of nurses’ services[B]possibility of a job transfer[C]opportunities for promotion[D]simplicity of nurses’ grades59.The Nursing Strategy will be adopted in order to__________ .[A]provide more consultation to practitioners[B]encourage experienced nurses to work part time[C]enable the most experienced nurses to be paid more[D]promote the most experienced nurses to management60.The Royal College of Nursing __________.[A]proposed similar top salary for nurses[B]raised the management issue to ministers[C]suggested a four-grade system for nurses[D]put forward the Nursing Strategy to ministersPart BDirections:Read the texts taken from five people's comments on an article on the issue of global poverty.For questions61 to 65,match the name of each person(61to 65)to one of the statements(A to G)given below Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1. Ankita Agarwal:Your article made me ashamed.I've always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed teenager,but I guess l was wrong.While I sit in my large,warm and cozy house.Wishing for the shoes and clothes I see in teen magazines,there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have.Janet Tejada:What about the relationship between population,consumption and resources? After all, poverty most simply defined,is not having enough resources.The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U.S.,and increasing levelsof C0nsumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’salready dwindling resources to go around.Tadaship Kawabe:Extreme poverty is so tragic.Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time,while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn't attract the world’s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty,however,we shouldn’t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others·Jane Thomas:The poor should be trained to organize,set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action.What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things:outsiders determine the priorities and solutions,then throw money at them.To actually help,we must first develop our own skills and understanding.We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are.We have to listen to poor people.Sanjay Kathe:Concerned and sensible people’s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are deserving of high praise.It is sad,however,that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually l each them.The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to check first—hand the use of their funds.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Ankita Agarwal62.Janet Tejada63.Tadaship Kawabe64.Jane Thomas65.Sanjay KatheStatements[A]What we should do is to help the poor help them- selves.[B]I have always been deeply grieved by the tragic disasters.[C]The root of poverty lies in the unfair distribution of resources.[D]The situation in Africa has been overlooked by the world.[E]The use of donated funds should be put under strict control.[F]People living in prosperity should cherish what they have.[G]it’s our duty to end global poverty.SECTION lV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:you should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWERSHEET 2.Part A66 You’ve just moved into a neighborhood where you find the current public transport is inadequate,and so you want a new bus line opened to solve the problem.Write a letter to the bus company,1)making a request for a new bus line:2)stating the reasons for your request;3)expressing your eagerness for solution.You should write about 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of your email.Use“Wang Lin”instead.You do not need to write the address.Part B67.Look at the picture below and write an essay of about 120words making reference to the following two points:1)a description of the picture;2)your suggestions on how to protect consumers’ rights.答案精解:第二部分英语知识运用参考译文未来的房子可能是什么样子呢?格雷斯能告诉我们答案。

(引语)from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto.The study of Fudan University, one of China's top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante's "Follow your own path and don't worry about what others say" as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto.This was followed by "Believe yourself and "Self-improvement without stop."Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in children's growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.41.The study shows_____.A.which university should have mottoesB.what poems are popularC.how many students like the motto "Believe

in Beijing, was selected, as the only American to carry the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil.She and seven other non-Chinese winners had been chosen from 262 applicants from 47 countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-language newspaper, China Daily.When Bowen ran with the Olympic torch, she was not only representing the United States, but also representing thousands of Chinese orphans(孤儿).Bowen, a mother of two adopted(收养)Chinese daughters, is director of Half the Sky Foundation, an organization which was founded in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives of orphaned children in China.In nearly 10 years, Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000 children.Half the Sky is now present in 36 welfare institutions in 28 Chinese cities.About 4,000 children are active in the program, which provides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and care for orphans.Bowen hoped that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China.She was among 19,400 runners who carried the flame along an 85,000-mile, 130-day route across five continents.Beijing organizers say it was the longest torch relay in Olympic history.Like Bowen, the seven other.non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan designer, live in China.Other countries represented were the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and Russia.According to Olympic organizers, candidates (候选人)were selected based or an online vote, committee selection, their "love of Chinese culture and

counseling.College suicide is a heart-breaking and controversial topic.Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and.most importantly, bright futures make them the envy of society.However, in recent years, we've read more reports of student suicides.Perhaps that's simply because of society's attention with youth.But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of young people.Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides.Not surprisingly, the top factors usually include psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure.Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market.Thankfully, more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services to address students' mental and psychological problems.These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties.From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students to help their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression.There is no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helping studentsand saving lives.However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves.Whatever efforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask help.Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help.By shutting themselves away, they can easily fall into vicious cycles (恶性循环), becoming even more easily hurt to personal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world.While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreach programs as a step forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help.These dangers are a reality for every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed.53.Why are there so many students that commit suicide?A.Because of psychological and physical sickness.B.Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future.C.Because of the emotional trouble.D.All of the above.54.According to the article, all of the following are right except_ __.A.No university in China had a whole day hotline providing suicide-prevention counseling before March.B.Many people envy the college students their bright futures.C.The students who feel confused and "depressed may have psychological problems and need psychological education.D.The problems of student suicides indicate the increasing troubled mental state of young people.55.The key to avoid student suicides is that ___.A.parents communicate with their children and understand them.B.colleges and universities oner more help to students.C.students themselves realize their problems and seek help from others.D.friends give more comfort and show more understanding to the problem students.56.Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A.Help is at hand for suicidal students.B.More college students commit suicide.C.How can students avoid committing suicide?D.Why do college students feel depressed?EI told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied, "You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism andwriting proved inspirational.She wrote?" Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said, "Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick, then have a go at everything.Go to school, join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."The biographies (传记)of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.57.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to fake exercise.B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.C.Those who want to achieve success cant expect to live all easy life.D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.58.By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us"________."A.Failure is the mother of Success.B.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.C.If you venture nothing, you will have nothing.D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.59.Following this passage, the author will further talk about_____.A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceC.what great people have in commonD.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity60.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A.Face adversity with a smile B.Different attitudes towards adversity C.Nothing is impossible D.Life is full of adversity第二节根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
