黑龙江省大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟（七）英语试题命题人：于淑杰审题人：陈永辉第I卷第一部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agree d that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full –time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school. 21．When staying with the two girls’ family, the author______ .A．got much help from her boss B．was paid for extra workC．often worked long hours D．took a day off every other week22．Why did the author leave her first job?A．She needed a rest after working extra hours.B．She decided to attend a part – time course.C．She was fed up with children.D．She found a full – time job.23．What has the author learned from her own experiences?A．One must choose the job she likes.B．Hard work makes an excellent student.C．Less successful students can still have a career.D．Qualifications are necessary for a career.BMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brow n, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performi ng (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the bestactor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalant e’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”24. The underlined part in the passage means _________.A. The main character in My Left Foot can’t control his whole bodyB. The main character in My Left Foot is trapped by othersC. The main character in My Left Foot is a prisonerD. The main character in My Left Foot is a disabled person25. If you want to watch a movie about wars, which may be one of your choices?A. Life Is Beautiful.B. Stand and Deliver.C. Shine.D. My Left Foot.26.Which of the following is true according to the four movies’ information?A. My Left Foot was directed by Christy Brown’sB. Geoffrey Rush stayed in a mental institution for ten yearsC. Edward James Olmos received nomination for best actor OscarD. Jaime Escalante has a talent for playing the piano27. What do the four movies have in common?A. They are all based on real stories.B. The main characters are all sick to some degree but succeed.C. The main characters all won Academy Award for Best Actor.D. They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.CIt’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not justsomething that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.28.The first paragraph points out that______.A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. India has much more disabled people than CanadaC.there are many disabled people in the worldD. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people29.The last word of the passage "count" most probably means_____.A. be numberedB. be includedC. be consideredD. be most important30.Which of the following statements is not true?A. About 10 percent of people in the UK are disabled.B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignoranceD. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people31.It can be concluded from the passage that____.A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break downB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. we should try our best to prevent disablementD. the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabledDIf the earth's population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.32.In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth willprobably be the lack of ______.A. oilB. foodC. resourcesD. space33.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because _____A. the days on Venus are long enoughB. it might be possible to change its atmosphereC. there is a good supply of water on VenusD. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's34.Algae are plants that can____.A. live in very hot temperatureB. live in very cold temperatureC. produce oxygenD. all of the above35. Man can land on Venus only when_______.A. it rains thereB. there is oxygenC. the atmosphere becomes coolerD. the algae have done their work第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

黑龙江省大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟（三）英语试题出题人：卢志国审题人：惠宏丹第I卷第一部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOne hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where ―thousands‖ of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.―This house is really not worth much at all,‖ Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left i ts population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else sai d that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.21.Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A.Because the house was too old.B.Because there is a boom in economy.C.Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D.Because the population in Detroit is small.rry Else hasn’t come into the house because _______.A.it is dangerous to enter itB.the owner doesn’t permit itC.he is not familiar with the areaD.it will break the company’s rule23.The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _______.A. $ 5,000B. $ 850C. $ 700D. an iPhone 624.The passage is most probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a news reportC. an economy reportD. a tourist brochureBRegardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the ―Swedish fashion miracle‖ actually comes from the ―less is more‖ philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lackcreativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. ―The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,‖ said The Huffington Post.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.B. Wearing T-shirts is British style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in the world.26. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ―emulate‖ in the last paragraph?A. Imitate.B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.CBabies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first ―mama‖ or ―dada‖ . The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equalamounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’ brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to s tudy that this is ―a fairly heroic data set‖, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.28. According to the first paragraph, babies______.A. might get its voice ―mama‖ by lip-readingB. learn to talk just from hearing the soundsC. like to figure out how to shape their lipsD. communicate with parents through gestures29. What is necessary in developing babies’ speech according to Lewkowicz?A. Playing baby DVD nearby.B. Teaching babies to read English.C. Speaking with babies face to face.D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.30. Which of the following shows the right change of babies’ eye gaze according to the text?DIt’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past ―fights‖.But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.―If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,‖ lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list ofsmart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.32.What is the article mainly about?A.Fish having very bad memories.B.Fish being smarter than we thought.C.How fish improve their memory.D.What we can learn from fish.33.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.A.fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB.fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutesD.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends34.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.A.where to get food and surviveB.their enemies and fightC.where to escape to when in dangerD.their friends and help each other35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.B.Fish can remember more.C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

ADid you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online?It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.Companies like Real Translator Jobs are actively seeking translators from China to fill demand. There are more translation jobs than people to complete them. This leaves a big opportunity for anyone to start doing this and earn extra money.Do you have to speak perfect English? No! Even basic knowledge of English is OK. This is really a job for anyone from China who wants to do it.We spoke to one student from Beijing, Harris, who has been doing this for 2 years now and is earning between $150 and $225 every day. He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an in credible amount of money to earn on your spare time!It is great that we now live in the “Information Age” and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet. It’s something that our parent’s generation could have never imagined. This type of work is surely to do great things for young people in China.If you would also like to do this, it’s easy to get started. Just follow these steps:1. Sign up at Real Translator Jobs (where Chinese translators are needed now), or a similar service.2. Review the job posting and complete the ones you like.3. Get paid once per month by cheque, PayPal or bank wire transfer.I hope you enjoyed this information and good luck earning extra money online translating documents.1．What’s the best title of the passage?A.

Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener-Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal tocut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular. Frozen Food-A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to the Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning-One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!5. After the trip to the Arctic, Clarence Birdseye invented .A. canned foodB. can openersC. frozen foodD. air conditioning6. Changes in weather in Willis Carrier's company.A. helped to keep foodB. hurt printing paperC. caused health problemsD. made rooms comfortable7. According to the passage, which of the following may lead to inventions?A. People's needs.B. Public support.C. Modern technology.D. Practical suggestions.CThe Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had poor beginnings.In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army gave its soldiers a gun that required a specialscrewdriver (螺丝刀) to take it apart and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to equip each soldier with a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife maker, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier's knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade (刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.A few years after the soldier's knife was issued, the "Schweizer Offizier Messer," or Swiss Officer's Knife. came on the market. 'Interestingly, the Officer's Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew (瓶塞钻) for opening wine not "essential for survival," so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched (发行) the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them. However it seems that "Schweizer Offizier Messer" was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name which is now known by all over the world.8. What does "It" in the third paragraph refer to?A. Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.B. Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.C. Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.D. The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.9. Why didn't the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer's Knife?A. The army had no budget to make the purchase.B. The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.C. The design of the knife was too simple.D. The knife was sold out to American soldiers.10, Who gave the name “the Swiss army knife" to the knife discussed in the passage?A. Carl Elsener.B. Swiss generals.C. American soldiers.D. German businessmen.11. The author writes this passage______.A. to explain the origin of the Swiss army knifeB. to introduce the functions of the Swiss army knifeC. to emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.D. to tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knifeDBetween the innocence of babyhood and seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a "boy". Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males-pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a creature with mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superwoman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, humorous books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday morning, and fire engines. He is not much for girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things. .A boy is a magical creature - he is your headache but when you come home at night withonly shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi Dad !"12. According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except_____.A. ice creamB. humorous booksC. Saturday morningsD. Sunday schools13. What does the underlined sentence in Para.4 probably mean?A. He has altogether five fingers.B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.C. He has become clever and smart.D. He cuts his hand with a knife.14. What does the writer feel about boyhood?A. Curious.B. Tiring.C. Delightful.D. Unsafe.15. The writer is probably ______.A. An envious sisterB.A sharply observant fatherC. An appreciative brotherD.A spoiled naughty kid第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟试题(四)英语含答案

大庆铁人中学高三年级第二轮复习套题（四）命题人：陈永辉审题人: 于淑杰第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhile wearing T-shirts, jeans and a baseball cap are classic American stylechoices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) Britishyouths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor theUK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a nation that values outward appearance. Elegance(高雅) is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful(优雅的). They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both men and women have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What ha s been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “less is more” philosophy(信条).The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lack creativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,” said The Huffington Post.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Wearing jeans is American style.B. Wearing T—shirts is American style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in theworld.22. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.23. What’s t he character of French dressing style?A. Over—dressed.B. Free and easy; elegant and confident.C. Under-dressed.D. Lovely.24. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragrap h?A. Imitate(模仿)B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.BOne day, when I was working as psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat i n chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and Joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any word—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.25. When he first met the author, David .A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher26. As a psychologist, the author .A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. w as able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem27. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.CIf you think that Internet shopping on a Sunday gets you the best deals, then think again. Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to grab a bargain, according to an exhaustive analysis of on—line shopping. Thursday is the second best day followed by Friday—but Sunday is when you are least likely to make a saving.The study also looked at months and found that the pre—Christmas rush in November is when there are most bargains around on the web—and not the January sales. US retailer(零售商) reporting service Sum All examined 3,000 companies and half a billion transactions(交易) as part of its report. It worked out the average discount(折扣) offered to consumers on each day of the week and over different times of the year.The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.81 percent, followed by Thursday on 4.80 percent. In third place was Friday at 4.65 percent, then Wednesday at 4.13percent and Monday at 4.11 percent. Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts were typically 3.84 percent—and Sunday was the worst with 3.37 percent.The analysis by month is even more surprising as most people think that waiting until the post—Christmas sales would yield the biggest discounts. In fact, November is when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average. January came in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent.The worst month to buy online was March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent. Consumers and experts have been speculating for years about the best time to shop online.Booking a flight has almost become a science with some claiming that buying six weeks before you travel guarantees you the best price. However, a recent analysis by the US Airlines Reporting Commission found that was not actually the case.Not only did the six—week window fail to pile up, in some cases the best fares were on sale as long as 24 weeks before departure. The ARC said that booking well in advance is best advised for busy routes or long haul flights(长途航班), as the price only tends to go up.28. If a buyer wants to buy cheap goods online, he’d better go to the shop on .A. TuesdayB. ThursdayC. FridayD. Sunday29. Most web sellers often provide bargain on the web .A. after New Year’s DayB. during Valentine’s DayC. on Mother’s DayD. before Christmas30. Which of the following statements is True according to the third paragraph?A. The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.8 percent.B. In third place was Thursday where savings were 4.65 percent.C. Sunday where the discounts were 3.37 percent was the worst.D. Customers can get the best sayings on Saturday.31. What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculating” in the fifth paragraph?A. Quarrelling.B. Objecting.C. Searching.D. Considering.DIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “when two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for thisEnglish weather—speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsi der, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him. the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misunderstanding about the weather—speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather—speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve(内向) and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather—speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather—speak is a means of social bonding.32. The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comm ent to show that .A. most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC. the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD. English conversations usually start with the weather33. What does the unde rlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A. A social trend.B. An strong interest.C. A historical concept.D. An unknown phenomenon.34. According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that .A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB. there is nothing special about the English weatherC. the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty35. What is the author’s main purpose of w riting the passage?A. To explain what English weather—speak is about.B. To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

英语高考模拟卷-大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟英语试题及答案(九)

黑龙江省大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟（九）英语试题命题人：张俊审题人：孙迎迎第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to l8 who have shown leadership and courage in public service. Each year ten winners each receive$2,000 to support their higher education or their service work.Ellie Wen, 18, was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles. The center was set up to help immigrant families. She happened to meet adults in an EFL (English as a foreign language) class. “When I saw them struggling hard, I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English, ”Ellie said.So she started a Website, “Repeat After Us”, where people can listen to English and practice their accents. Volunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6,600 texts, including Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”.Hard work pays off. There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged, but she stuck to it. The Website crashed early on, and all the recordings were lost. But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over, and the visitors returned to the site.“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind. Even if you do have trouble, people will help you, ”Ellie said.“I was really excited the first month, when we had 49 visitors, ”she said. Now, more than 480,000 people from all over the world have visited the site. “I get e-mails from China, Egypt, India, and Brazil. ”They say, “Thank you so much for this resource, we’ve been waiting for it for so long! ”Ellie loves knowing she is helping so many people.Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do. And they encourage others to join in if they see a need. Anybody can be negative, but it needs somebodybrave to be positive. Are you the brave one?1．Choose the right order of the following.a．Ellie started a Website，Repeat After Us.b．Ellie happened to meet adults in an EFL class.c．All the recordings were lost.d．Ellie became a Gloria Barron Prize winner.e．More than 480，000 people from all over the world visited the site.A．c—b—a—e—d B．a—e—d—c—b C．b—a—c—e—d D．b—c—a—e—d 2．Which of the following statements is true?A．The Gloria Barron Prize honors people showing leadership and courage.B．Each year ten winners share US$2,000 to support their higher education.C．Ellie Wen was badly paid at a community center in Los Angeles.D．People can practice their English via Ellie’s website.3.The writer mainly talks about__________.A．how to open up a website with the help of othersB．how to teach immigrant families English via the InternetC．the Gloria Barron Prize and the story of one of its winnersD．young people who help others in various waysBCell phones：Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk, ”said Carpenter.But others believe these concerns are not justified. Dr Martha Linet, head of radiation epidemiology (流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research asCarpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones, ”said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cell phone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk.4．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given a warningD．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors5．By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones, ”Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A．the worrying is unnecessaryB．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer6．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?A．Optimistic. B．Objective. C．Opposite. D．Casual. 7．The underlined word “justified” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_____．A．explained B．confirmed C．classified D．restrictedCCan you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next, both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here’s where the trick lies. In some of the pictur es, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.8．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_________.A．Children’s and adults’ eye-sight B．people’s ability to see accuratelyC．children’s and adults’ brains D．the influence of people’s age9．When asked to find the larger circle，__________.A．children at 6 got it wrong 79％of the time with no gray ones aroundB．only adults over 18 got it right 95％of the time with gray ones aroundC．children at 4 got it right about 79％of the time with gray ones aroundD．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around10．According to the passage，we can know that__________.A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeC．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size11．Why are younger children not fooled?A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults.B．Because older people are influenced by their experience.C．Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older.D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.DAs you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover (人员流动) data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions，resignations，and retirements. (Yes，people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still booming along, job growth was only 132,000, while staff-turnover was 4.7 million!And as it turns out, even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to landa job. It’s true that if total employment were higher. It would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills；be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every monthin the U.S. You can be one of them.12．The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate_________.A．takes job opportunities from peopleB．prevents many people from changing careersC．should not stop people from looking for a jobD．does not mean the U．S. economy is worsening13．What does the author say about overall job growth?A．It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.B．It increases people’s confidence in the economy.C．It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.D．It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.14．What is the key to finding a job according to the author?A．Education B．Intelligence C．Persistence D．Experience 15．What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.B．They provide the public with the latest information.C．They warn of the structural problems in the economy.D．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

ADear Alcohol,You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinn ing through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit(呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I calle d taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous1. What is author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readersB. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice---the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nu trient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life----it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the matc h, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”5. From the first paragraph we know that working women .A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully6. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories7. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicineCAttractions in WisconsinWisconsin Historical Museum30 N.

Those with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, can see perfectly well, but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand that a collection of features represents an individual’s face. The condition is a neurological（神经病学的）mystery, but new research has shed light on this strange disease.Some scientists had believed that faces and voices, the two main ways people recognize one another, were processed separately by the brain. Indeed, a condition parallel(平行的) to prosopagnosia, called phonagnosia,similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one. But by testing for these two conditions at the same time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and voice recognition may be linked in a unique person-recognition system.The scientists observed the brain activity of 19 healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices. The researchers found that regions of the brain, associated with facial recognition, are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition.This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak. The challenge for scientists is to find out where this system breaks down. Are these connections in the brain missing entirely, or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way?It is unclear how many people have these conditions. Many don’t even realize they have problems with facial or voice recognition. While some develop these difficulties after a brain injury, others develop it in childhood.11. James Cooke can’t recognize other people because .A. his eyesight is failingB. he prefers to walk hurriedlyC. he suffers from face blindnessD. he can’t tell facial expressions12. Which of the following is true of prosopagnosia?A. It is a common disease among adults.B. It may cause damage to the brain.C. It is always an inborn disease.D. There has been no cure for it.13.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.（1）What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.（2）What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.（4）In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了记忆消失的一些知识。

AHave you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic watch to show the day，month，and date．Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history．Today，it is so hard to get an original watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $ 200，000 for one．These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color，fashionable style，and new uses in the 1920s．The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd．Because the number of the original watches is very limited，owning such a watch will make you feel very special．Today，you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement．The watch has a 24-jewel mechanical(机械的)movement，the

very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it．To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position．You can get the watch either in person or by mail at an affordable price．You will also receive good service from the watch seller．If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it，you may simply return it within 30 days．Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream．1．The original automatic watches are valuable because .A．the watches were made many years agoB．the

users to enjoy a free Internet phone service．Some scientists argue that Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks．Wi Fi is still limited to a few cities．But its capability (容量)of sending information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network，even that of 3G(Third Generation telecommunication technology)．Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G．In addition to a high speed Internet connection，Wi-Fi has other advantages compared to mobile phones．Wi-Fi is global．The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world．Different from using cell phones，you don’t

英语高考模拟卷-大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟英语试题及答案(三)

AOne hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left i ts population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else sai d that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.21.Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A.Because the house was too old.B.Because there is a boom in economy.C.Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D.Because the population in Detroit is small.rry Else hasn’t come into the house because _______.A.it is dangerous to enter itB.the owner doesn’t permit itC.he is not familiar with the areaD.it will break the company’s rule23.The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _______.A. $ 5,000B. $ 850C. $ 700D. an iPhone 624.The passage is most probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a news reportC. an economy reportD. a tourist brochureBRegardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “less is more” philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lackcreativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,” said The Huffington Post.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.B. Wearing T-shirts is British style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in the world.26. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph?A. Imitate.B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.CBabies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada” . The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equalamounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’ brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to s tudy that this is “a fairly heroic data set”, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.28. According to the first paragraph, babies______.A. might get its voice “mama” by lip-readingB. learn to talk just from hearing the soundsC. like to figure out how to shape their lipsD. communicate with parents through gestures29. What is necessary in developing babies’ speech according to Lewkowicz?A. Playing baby DVD nearby.B. Teaching babies to read English.C. Speaking with babies face to face.D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.30. Which of the following shows the right change of babies’ eye gaze according to the text?DIt’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”.But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list ofsmart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.32.What is the article mainly about?A.Fish having very bad memories.B.Fish being smarter than we thought.C.How fish improve their memory.D.What we can learn from fish.33.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.A.fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB.fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutesD.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends34.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.A.where to get food and surviveB.their enemies and fightC.where to escape to when in dangerD.their friends and help each other35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.B.Fish can remember more.C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

AThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant．When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get．With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday．I hope the ￡5 was useful to you ．I have informed the social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week ．I hope that won't leave you too short．But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book．Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it wo n’t be much use to you ．Actually I don't mind about the money too much．We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash ．However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you．Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book．There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need．I really think that was very inconsiderate of you ．I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up．It wasn't even an expensive one．just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag．You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop．I'm not really angry with you．I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things．I feel violated and helpless．The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸）their shoulders．"It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose．But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son saidwhen I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question．I wonder if you can．1．In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to ．A．describe the contents of the bag in detail．B．give some suggestions to the three thievesC．tell the thieves hardly any money was availableD．state the fact that she was careless with the money2．Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A．The cash in her bag．B．The papers and notes in the bag．C．The handbag itself．D．The check books in the bag．3．What can we conclude about the police?A．They have doubts about human nature．B．They show sympathy for the woman．C．They think the case quite common．D．They are unable to find the thieves．4．Why does the author write the letter?A．To give the thieves a serious warning．B．To complain about the fall of morality．C．To call people’s attention to their belongings．D．To express her affection for her valuable bag．BService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complaints．Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips．According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats．As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much．The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor．According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats．Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure．By serving meats from Service Foods,complaints can be reduced．Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have-no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste．And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won't taste strange to your children．If you're facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you．Some families have mealtime boredom．The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard 'to look forward to．When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web．Just go to http: //www. and you'll find a long list of recipes to try．Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals．By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced．While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need．5．Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______．A．serving flash-frozen meatB．expressing children's complaintsC．instructing different ways of cookingD．supplying natural food without chemicals6．The underlined word "eradicated" in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______．A．covered B．removed C reduced D．accepted7．From the passage we can learn that Service Foods can do the following EXCEPT ______．A．cook food for picky kidsB．teach how to prepare mealsC．provide natural and organic meatD．help reduce complaints about foods8．What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?A．Pay for Service Foods service．B．Buy organic meat from now on．C．Write recipes for Service Foods．D．Answer complaints on the web．CWhen you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer（模糊的）than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the “felt” image of y ourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions（部分）; certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.Although the “felt” image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent(前后一致的) right and left and a top and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes （中风）which wipe out recognition of one entire side –these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the “felt” image is wiped out or injured, t he patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.9．According to the passage the “felt” ima ge the mirror image.A．is precisely the same as B．is as clear asC．is often different from D．is always much smaller than10．If a man loses the ability to recognize his right side, .A．he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his left si deB．he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his right sideC．he loses his sense of touch on the left sideD．he loses feeling on both sides11．What is this passage mainly about?A．Stroke victims’ “felt” images B．Stroke victims’ mirror images.C．The im portance of “felt” images D．The importance of mirror images.DYou wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker，or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.12．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene13．How can negative people have effect on us?A. By influencing our emotion.B. By telling us the nature of life.C. By changing our ways of thinking.D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.14．According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to ______.A. change negative peop le’s attitudes to lifeB. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. communicate with negative people as little as possible15. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

In a study performed by WRAP, one of the first to study food waste in the UK in 2012, the most frequent responses when consumers were asked about packaging were “uses too much material” and “bad for the environment”. The conclusions of these reports highlighted that the degree of the problem has been largelyunderestimated：at least 30% of food produced in the world is wasted. These figures are similar no matter if you are in the developed or developing world.However, two publications from cross—industry work groups were published recently, and have managed to reset the discussion to take into account the benefits of packaging for sustainability(可持续性).The first publication, “The Global Protocol on Packaging Sustainability”, describes an agreed common approach towards measuring packaging sustainability metrics(指标), so that the industry is not competing based on the definition of a metric, but rather competing based on performance. The second was, “'Packaging in the Sustainability Agenda, A Guide for Corporate Decision Makers”, which highlighted the contributions of packag ing to the three aspects of sustainability packaging protects products and prevents waste(environmental aspect); packaging enables efficient business conduct(economic aspect); and packaging provides consumers with the benefits of the products it contains(social aspect).Packaging performs indeed a wide variety of functions throughout the value chain and contributes to reducing food waste by protecting ingredients(佐料)and products during transportation and by delivering family—sized packages. Food waste could be avoided for single households if they are provided with the choice of pack sizes meeting their consumption patterns and are not forced to buy larger packs that they may not be able to finish before the use—by date. Despite the fact that smaller sized packs use more packaging, the fact that food waste is reduced would nevertheless decrease overall environmental impacts of the packed product.29. It has long been thought that _______.A. larger quantities of food are wasted in developed countriesB. WRAP is the first authority to study food waste in UKC. packaging does great harm to the environmentD. packaging offers a powerful means to reduce food waste30. According to the two publications in Paragraph 2，_______.A. an agreement should be reached on measuring packaging sustainabilityB . the industry should compete based on the definition of sustainability metricsC . smaller sized packs promotes less packaging and purchase among consumersD. sustainable packaging is eco-friendly，economically practical and socially beneficial31. The author’s attitude towards packaging is ___________.A. approvingB. negativeC. casualD. doubtful3.A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely ofsomething quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.32. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.A. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborersB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man33. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food34. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. wait to lay the tableB. keep accounts for a barC. serve customers in a restaurantD. work in a furniture shop35. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. American Attitude toward Manual LaborB. A Respectable Self-made FamilyC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual Labor二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Britain’s high s treets are dying slowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visitGreenport may date back to the 1630s, but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village:Claudio'sIf you've been to Greenport, you can't miss Claudio's —it's where generations of Long Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — is right by the dock entrance.Little Creek Oyster Farm & MarketIt's little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There's no sign or advertising for this tiny house changed from the cabin of an old ship that's practically hidden down Bootlegger's Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are — streams of people who come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view.The Times VintageNostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets.Greenport FireHeat comes in many forms and several are sold here — hot sauces, cigars and candles. Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such as a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged tobacco.（1）What's special about Greenport?A. It is a place full of energy.B. It is a famous port in the world.C. It is a combination of new and old.D. It is a popular place of interest.（2）What can you do in The Times Vintage?A.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Every year migratory(迁徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering(过冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats' annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O'Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(栖息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.Joy O'Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O'Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. "Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success," she says, adding that bats also "control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes."However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals th at move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track," Stepanian says. "We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step."（1）Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _________.A. bats prefer colder weatherB. bats delay their reproductionC. warming affects bat migrationD. radar can be used to observe bats（2）Joy O'Keefe discovered that _________.A. bats are used to living in rainfall seasonsB. bats' earlier migration might harm farmingC. insects' reproduction helps to spread diseaseD. insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier（3）What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A. Wind speed and direction affect bats.B. It is difficult to observe and track bats.C. Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.D. Further research on the cause is necessary.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Bats' habitatsB. Endangered batsC. Bats' scheduleD. Bats, our good friends【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】【点评】本文是一篇说明文，作者先提出蝙蝠迁徙提前的这种现象，然后分析了这种现象可能导致的后果，最后分析了可能导致蝙蝠迁徙提前的原因。

APakistani youth activist Malala Yousafzai, 17, was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 10. She is the youngest Nobel winner in history. Malala shares the prize with Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year-old man from India who has helped lead a movement to end child slavery around the world. Both winners were recognized “for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the righ t of all children to education,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday.Malala Yousafzai has never been ordinary. When she was just 11 years old, she started blogging about the Taliban takeover of her hometown of Mingora, in northwestern Pakistan. Taliban members follow an extreme version of Islam, and believe young girls like Malala should not go to school. Classrooms throughout the Swat district of Pakistan, where Malala was living, were closed for several months. Malala spoke publicly about h er desire to go back to school. “All I want is an education,” she told one television broadcaster.When the Pakistani government regained control, Malala was able to return to class. She continued to blog and speak out about girls‟ right to education. But on October 9, 2012, the Taliban tried to silence her. A gunman boarded her school bus and shot her on the left side of her forehead. Malala survived, and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. During this time, she became a symbol of t he struggle for girls‟ rights all over the world.Now, Malala has also become an international symbol for peace. Each year, the Nobel prizes honor excellence in medicine, literature, chemistry, promoting peace, and other fields. It is one of the highest honors in the world. Malala and Satyarthi will split the award of $1.1 million.Malala‟s mission for peace is unstoppable. Nine months after she was shot, she gave anow-famous speech at the United Nations. “They thought that the bullets would silence us. Bu tthey failed,” she said. “And then, out of that silence came thousands of voices. … Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage was born.”The Nobel prizes will be presented to the winners on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Malala is an ordinary girl. B．Malala used to be ordinary.C．Malala is a very special girl. D．Malala doesn‟t want to be ordinary. 2．What did Malala express in her blog?A．Her eagerness to receive education.B．Her anger at the rule of the Taliban.C．Her miserable life in the countryside.D．The poor living condition in Pakistan3．Why did a gunman shoot Malala on the school bus?A．To keep her from going to school.B．To show off their power.C．To stop her blogging and speak up for girls‟ rights to education.D．To warn other girls not to speak.4．What would be the best title for the text?A．The 2014 Nobel Peace Price B．A Brave Girl from PakistanC．Malala Wins Nobel Peace Price D．Malala Yousafzai, a Young ActivistBDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say …come home,‟ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won‟t have an affordable s ystem of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.5.

They will try their best to send kids to college.CHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn‟t include her when she told me that if I didn‟t eat all my vegetables Father Chri stmas would find out and wouldn‟t give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who‟d accompanied him in the ambulance. She‟d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it‟s funny you should mention that, but yes,” She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it‟s not cancer.” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahon‟s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on earth did you do that?” she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. “She asked me what I was worried about an d I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You don‟t say the word …cancer‟ until it‟s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”As it turned out, it wasn‟t canc er. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they‟re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it‟s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I‟d made the situation worse.8.

More than ten per cent of children have a stutter by the age of four but they score just as well as other children on tests designed to assess their language, thinking skills and temperament.Professor Reilly‟s team studied just over 1,600 children from Melbourne, Australia.Their mothers filled out regular questionnaires starting when their babies were eight-months-old and the children were assessed using a range of language and behaviour tests when they reached the age of four.Professor Reilly and her colleagues asked parents to call the study group if their child started showing signs of stuttering. Diagnoses were confirmed by a speech pathologist, who then visited the homes of children with a stutter every month to check on their progress.By the age of four, 181 of the children studied had been diagnosed with a stutter.Follow-up visits for the 142 who were consistently assessed after diagnosis showed just nine no longer had their stutter one year later. Stuttering children scored 5.5 points higher than theirnon-stuttering peers on language tests and 2.6 points higher on a test of non-verbal intelligence, where 100 is an average score.Parents also rated four-year-olds with and without a stutter similarly on behaviour and temperament, according to findings published in the journal Paediatrics. The researchers said it is possible stuttering could improve language skills, or that stuttering could result from very fast language development among some children.Dr Corrin Richels, a speech-language pathologist who has studied stuttering at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, said it was not all that surprising that children who stuttered did not tend to be worse off in other ways.The researchers said parents of children who stutter are typically advised to wait a year before seeking treatment - which can be both time-intensive and expensive - to see if the stutter goes away on its own, unless the child becomes distressed or stops talking.12.

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A. it costs quite a lot to treat children with a stutterB. all the children can go back to normal at lastC. it is hard for stuttering children to speak normallyD. children with a stutter should be treated in a proper way第二部分：七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。
