高三第三次英语考试题2015.12第I 卷第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AMy daddy doesn’t know how to express love at all. It is my mum that makes everyone happy and calm in our family; while daddy only works day and night, never looking at us in the face. But mum makes a wrongdoing list of us for daddy scolding us. She’s a spy!Once, I stole a candy. Daddy asked me to put it back and told the shopkeeper that I would like to carry loads for her. Well, mum told him I was just a child.I broke my leg on the playground. It’s still mum that held me tightly in her warm arms. Daddy drove us right to the emergency room. He was asked to move the car away for that vacant was for ambulance. Daddy got angry, “what do you think of it? A touring car?”On my birthday party, it was, again, my mum that took over the cake for me. My dad? He was busy blowing balloons and setting the table and doing the housework.While looking over our album, friends always ask, “What does your father look like?” God knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many and many photos of my mum and me, pretty and lovely photos.And I still remembered the day when dad taught me riding. I asked him not to let his hands away, but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. I got angry and decided to get on the bike and rode. But he smiled again.Mum wrote every letter to me while I was in college. He, except checks, did write a letter, but extremely short, just a few words, saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son, my lawn grows prettier than before.”Every time I phoned, it seemed he wanted to talk, but he would say, “I will get your mum.”On the day of my wedding, mum cried as if we would never meet again, while dad went out with a nasal sound.From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been?” “When do you go home?” “Did you get oil for your car?” “No, I don’t agree.” Dad really knows nothing about showing love. Unless...Maybe he showed while I didn’t notice, is it?1. From the first and second paragraphs, we can infer that____.A. it was the daddy that was in charge of his children’s educationB. the writer’s parents loved their children;at the same time,they were strict with themC. the children were all afraid of their father so they had to be cuteD. the writer’s mom was like a spy who reported what the children did to the father2. Why did the father get angry when he sent the writer to the hospital?A. Because he parked his car at a wrong place.B. Because the parking space of the ambulance was very crowded.C. Because the writer’s injury made the father quite upset.D. Because the person paid little attention to his son’s serious injury.3. According to Paragraph Six, we know the father ____.A. was not patient when he taught the writer ridingB. might want to see his child fall off the bikeC. used a wrong way of teaching his child ridingD. might want his son to learn riding through independent practice4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. The dad posted checks to the writer while he was in college.B. The dad had no single photo of his own in the album.C. The dad scolded the writer for having damaged the lawn.D. The dad got excited when participating in the writer’s wedding.BWhy do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons arefor thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it’s worth every penny.People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don’t ever feel pressured into buying something you won’t enjoy looking a t day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don’t buy something that doesn’t attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don’t like the artwork at all, don’t buy it!Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an necessary（必需的） part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought--out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.Art enriches your life. Love--even the love of a work of art--contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it?Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn’t cost an arm and a leg.Happy art collecting!5. What’s the purpose of the pa ssage?A. To advise us to buy an expensive artwork.B. To remind us to be sensible when buying an artwork.C. To teach us how to choose works of art.D. To explain the benefit of art to people.6. According to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art?A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.B. Whether it is fashionable at present.C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.7. Which of the following words best describes a work of art placed in a house?A. OrdinaryB. AttractiveC. NecessaryD. Unique8. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 means that ____.A. art can show what you look likeB. art is an expression of yourselfC. a mirror has a feature similar to artD. a mirror can be a piece of true artCIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old pa pers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor.I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her han ds, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Y our cups match your saucers.” They left after that, hol ding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.9．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving DayC．Don't forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well? 10．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 11．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A．show that she was a kindhearted ladyB．remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC．leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD．prove that she had understood what meant being rich12．It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A．how much money you have madeB．what attitude you have had towards lifeC．the way you help othersD．your social relationshipDThe drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and le t her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreeme nt with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.” An d he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand. www.Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.” In hisbedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him for the first time he had ever really seen his mother.13. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?A. “Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”B. “I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”C. “You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”D. “Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”14. What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?A. Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.B. Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.C. Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.D. Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.15. After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.A. feel ashamed of her motherB. change his attitudes towards lifeC. learn to live an independent lifeD. hate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

AI paid a visit to Cambridge last January. Though the trip took me5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived, which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting, one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, "Either you get off or sit down. "To him, safety is the first policy.Cambridge consists of nearly thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s. The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops, pubs, and supermarkets, but most of it is university-colleges, departments, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks and churches, making these as well part of the university.With over 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break, better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions, carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.1. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________A. bad weatherB. unexpected stops of the busC. one passengerD. an accident on the way2. Why is Cambridge called a university town?A. It has 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates.B. There are nearly thirty colleges in the town.C. All the students and staff live in the town.D. The university and town are fully combined.3. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take________ as their first means of transport.A. boatsB. carsC. bicyclesD. busesBWhen I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.4. Who tells this story?A. A dog.B. Achild. C. A dog'sowner. D.A dog trainer5. Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?A. He had a newbornbaby. B. His wife did not like the dog.C. He was moving into a new building.D. He thought the dog too troublesome.6.Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A. It hoped to be adopted by another family.B. It continued to love its former owner.C. It did not trust humans any more.D. It was excited about the pound.7.What is the theme of the story?A. Be ready forchanges.B. Never expect too much.C. Never complain about yourlife. D. Be faithful to those who love you.CWhen I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition(试演). I was selected and told I had potential．They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious(有声望的)modeling agencies from around the world would attend．At l 3，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go．We have never been rich，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed．I imagined being signed by some famous model companies．For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model．I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!Of course，I wasn’t signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew t o 5'9”(about 1．75metres)I could be a success．I prayed for a growth spurt(冲刺)because I could not imagine giving up my dream．I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes．$500 for a photo shoot and $300 for other expenses．My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging． The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn’t receive a call，I grew more depressed．The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling．There was an open call in New York City．We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short．I was devastated(感到难以承受的)．Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling，just the idea of it．I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal．The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future．8．What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model? A．She won a national contest． B．She wanted to get reputation and wealth．C．She was urged by some modeling agencies． D．She had full potential to be a successful model．9．What was it that made the author end her attempt to become a model? A．Her parents were strongly against it． B．She realized that it was impossible for her．C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down． D．She didn’t actually love the idea of modeling．10．The underlined phrase ‘'The final straw” prob ably means__________ .A．the refusal in spite of her long hours of waiting and working B．the final result that she was admired by the model companyC．the final audition given by the famous agencyD．the decision she made at last not to be a model 11．What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model?A．Where there’s a will，there’s a way． B．Being a model is not that easy．C．We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others．D．We might set unpractical goals but the experiences really help us grow．DCanyonlands National Park is a famous tourist attraction in Utah where visitors can see arches (拱门) and other beautiful rock formations.Canyonlands National Park is a wild, lonely area of rocks, rivers and desert plants. Only Native Americans, cowboys, and explorers entered this area before the park was set up in 1964. Even today, it is difficult to walk or ride through the park. The roads are still made of dirt. Driving requires a special vehicle. The National Park Service says Canyon－lands National Park is wild America.Rivers created the area as they cut rocks into many different formations. At the center of the park are two deep canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers. Three areas that surround these rivers are included in the park.One of these areas is called the Maze District. This area includes rock art made by people who lived there more than 2,000 years ago. Yet many people today cannot see the Maze District because it is so difficultto reach. The area is one of the loneliest and wildest areas in the United States.Another area of the park is called the Needles. It includes long, thin, red and white rocks that reach high into the air like fingers on a hand.A good way to see all the areas of Canyonlands National Park is to fly over it. A one hour trip in a small airplane makes it possible to see the park's red rocks, arches and flat areas where ancient Indian people once lived.From high in the air, visitors can clearly see the third area of the park--a high broad flat rock known as the Island in the Sky. The island was formed between the two rivers.Another interesting formation is called the Upheaval Dome. This is a huge hole about four hundred and fifty meters deep and one point five kilometers wide. It is considered to be the most unusual geological (地质的) structure in the area.12．Which of the following statements describes Canyonlands National Park correctly?A．No vehicle is available to go through the park. B．The park today still remains as it was in the past.C．There is no access for people to get close to it. D．A variety of wild animals and plants grow in it.13．What do we know about the Maze District?A．No one is allowed to explore the area. B．It is known to the outside world.C．Its rock art dates back over 2,000 years. D．It is the loneliest and wildest place in the US.14．In order to have a good view of the park, you should go sightseeing________.A．by air B．by land C．by water D．on foot 15．Where did ancient Indian people use to live?A．The red rocks. B．The flat areas .C．The Island in the Sky.D．The Upheaval Dome.第二节七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.25. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A. Two strangers joined her.B. Her childhood friends came in.C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.D. Some people held a party there.26. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s .A. readersB. partiesC. friendsD. stories27. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A. They live in big cities.B. They are mostly women.C. They come from real life.D. They are pleasure seekers.CIf you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and becausethese are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.28. What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ lectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.29. What can we learn about Decio?A. It is a new variety.B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.30. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C.A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.31. What is the aut hor’s p urpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples. B .To introduce an apple festival.C. To help people select apples.D. To promote apple research.DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re fe eling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first find ings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”32 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C. Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations．33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’re good at telling stories.C. They’re inconsiderate of others.D. They’re careful with their words.34.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD.

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital. High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning. Volunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which 45 work-related stress is most likely to 46 .“Most people are free of the mental and physical 47 of work on Sundays and experience a more stressful change from weekend 48 activities to work activities on Mondays, ”said Dr. Murakami, who led the research.. “But anyway, there was a 49 peak on Mondays.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a50 character than me.I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. Iwould try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Children in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkanfairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be mor e fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I neverhoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a.

The family sold the goldfishA. c, b, a, e, dB. c, a, b, e, dC. b, c, a, d, eD. b, d, a, c, e67. What does the author intend to tell us?A .The more golden fish, the wealthier you’ll be. B.

It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger princeor hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affectworkers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend –the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, el ectronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using anydevice with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device th ere’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（45分）I.

2016届高三第三次调研考试——英语
平顶山新乡许昌2016届高三第三次调研考试高三英语AIt’s high time you should live a low-carbon life when traveling. But how? The following offers you the answer.Before you goTurn off and unplug all of your non-essential electronic appliances. Experts say that 5-10 percent of the average family’s electric bill is from electronic appliances that are plugged in 24hours a day. Televisions, computers, coffeemakers, toasters and even lamps can suck up power. If you are gone for any extended period, consider turning down the temperature on your water heater since there is no sense in keeping that water hot if you are not going to be around to use it.Choose a different wayIf you have a little extra time to spare, driving or taking a train to your destination might be an option. And there are always the long-distance options like Mega bus. If you do have to take a plane, fly non-stop. If you want to have a lower carbon footprint, avoid private jets even if you can afford them.At the hotelTake use of every conservation program that the hotel offers. Reuse your towels and turn off your air conditioning or heat before you leave for the day. Bring your own soap, shampoo and moisturizer, or at least take whatever is left of the hotel-supplied articles home with you to finish using there. Skip the morning printed newspaper and read it on your ipad, phone or computer.DrinkingCarry a water bottle with you so that you don’t have to buy plastic bottles. Travel to certain parts of the world and you will unde rstand why. There’s nothing more disturbing than seeing something made up of plastic bottles and bags. Halong Bay in Vietnam is a great example where this kind man-made pollution is clearly visible.More focused? Click HERE.21. What should you do at the hotel in order to live a low-carbon life?A. Use one towel once every day.B. Keep your ipad, phone or computer on.C. Keep indoor temperature comfortable.D. Bring the leftover soap home for later use.22. You should do all these but ________ when and before travelling.A. have adequate sleep and keep energeticB. lower down the temperature on your water heaterC. cut off the power of all non-essential electronic appliancesD. choose green vehicles even if you can afford more expensive ones23. The text is most probably adapted from _________.A. a webpage on green lifeB. a guidebook on travelling abroadC. an advertisement on travel goodsD. a report on scientific discoveryMy husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted. A beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment — We really had it all and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a co nstruction company was gone. The company was closing down forever.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”“But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me —you’ll hate me,” he replied.I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy —as long as I have you,” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we ha dn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.24. We know from the story that ________.A. they both found good jobs at lastB. her husband was out of work for his not working hardC. both of them felt anxious about their unemploymentD. they didn’t love each ot her any longer after they got married25. By saying “The more we pulled together, the closer we got”, the wife means ________.A. her husband worked harder for being closerB. they had closer affection as they struggled togetherC. their house was closer to the company than beforeD. they were closer to another employment as time went by26. What is their present life like?A. Hard but warmB. Wealthy but annoying.C. Hard and disturbing.D. Comfortable and admiring.27. Which of the followings might be the best title?A. Better Life ComesB. Hard Time GoesC. We Have It AllD. We Lose It AllAs is seen, kids’ lives have changed a lot in the last decades of years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?It’s difficult to look back on one’s own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧）. I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn’t time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today’s boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. This is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn’t dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The funny thing is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.28. The question given in the first paragraph is designed to ________.A. show who the passage is written for.B. arouse people’s attention and lead in the topicC. collect different people’s opinions on the topic.D. emphasize the importance of the topic discussed in the passage.29. The followings are reasons for the changes EXCEPT that ________.A. parents are worried too much about their children.B. children play toys in completely different ways.C. playing outside is getting more and more dangerous.D. only children have become more, causing families smaller.30. What does the writer indicate in the fourth paragraph?A. Board games shouldn’t be replaced.B. Computer and video games should be cut off.C. Young people today should play more with other ones.D. Today’s electronic games easily cause more loneliness to the youth.31. The purpose of the writer is to ________ the childhood changes.A. introduceB. praiseC. criticizeD. discussA recent finding has showed that blue-eyed people have already been living in Europe for at least 7,000 years.A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin, according to scientists who have arranged his DNA in order. This surprising combination of eye, hair and skin coloring may not have been unusual during his lifetime, but it is no longer seen among modem Europeans, reported by the journal Nature.The man, a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La BranaⅠ, is of great interest to scientists because he offers a brief introduction to what w as in Europeans’ DNA before agriculture spread through the continent. Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle. La BranaⅠshows that at least some of their predictions were correct.The man’s skeleton, along with that of a male companion, was discovered in 2006 in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain. The site, known as La Brana-Arintero, sits about 5,000 feet above sea level, and the cave provided a cold, refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA.In the lab, scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La Brana Ⅰ’s entire genome （基因组）. They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans（including Otzi, the 5, 300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier）and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers.When it came to genes that would influence La Brana Ⅰ’s appearance, the researchers found that their 7,000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment（色素）genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today. Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation（色素沉着）and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants（变种）. Taken together, La Brana Ⅰ’s DNA “is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair,” they wrote.However, his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue, the scientists found. This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together, they wrote, adding that La Brana Ⅰ’s combination “of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contem porary European populations.” Today, a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin. To get some idea of whether La Brana Ⅰ’s coloring was unusual for his day, the researchers will try to arrange in order the DNA of his companion, who has been named La Brana Ⅱ. 32. Scientists have carried out the research into La BranaⅠbecause they wanted to know________.A. toda y’s Europeans’ DNAB. the ancient agriculture in Europe.C. European hunter-gatherers’ DNA.D. the correctness of some of their predictions33. La Brana Ⅰ’s skeleton was best preserved mainly because of ________.A. the height of the caveB. the cold condition in the caveC. the location of the caveD. the wet condition in the cave34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. La Brana Ⅰ’s gene variants spread together.B. La Brana Ⅰ’s DNA influences his appearance.C. Today’s blue-eyed person may typically have rough rather than fair skin.D. La Brana Ⅰ’s gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans’.35. The last paragraph suggests that ________.A. La Brana Ⅱhas the same genome with La Brana Ⅰ.B. Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000 years ago.C. It’s not certain that La Brana’s app earance was common at that time.D. BranaⅠ’s combination of dark skin and non-brown is popular in contemporary Europeans.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our preparations have also come to the final step. As monitor, Li Hua calls on everybody, my fellow classmates, to focus on the following besides your lessons. First of all, please ensure adequate sleep, since plenty of sleep makes us physically active and concentrates on what teachers say in class; Then in our busy and bound life, we ought to walk into nature, close nature, and be a part of it to refresh ourselves completely. At present in the spring sunshine, walking, jogging, even climbing mountains are all good choices. Thirdly taking necessary sports everyday keeps us energetic and reduces our stress and thus we may gain the result of doing less but achieving more. Finally I wish all of us great success in the coming college entrance examination.Tha t’s all. Thank you!听力材料(Text 1)W: Bob, can we really afford a holiday now? We're paying for this house and the ...M: Listen, Peggy. You work hard and I work hard. There's nothing to worry about.(Text 2)M: Your yard is always so beautiful, Cathy. You must have a gardener.W: Oh, no. It would cost at least $50 a month to hire someone to do the work, so I do most of it myself. I enjoy taking care of the flowers, but I have to force myself to do the weeding and cut the grass.(Text 3)M: Hi, Jane. Haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: Oh, I was in Singapore studying for two years. I just came back to work here in Toronto, but next month I will be sent to a branch in Los Angeles.M: You are really lucky to get so many chances to travel.(Text 4)W: What time is it now?M: It's 2:30 pm.W: We've got a whole hour before the Browns come by to pick us up. How about taking a walk? M: No, we'd better not. They just called to say that they'll arrive here half an hour earlier than planned.(Text 5)W: Tom, what will be displayed in the new museum?M: Oh, a wide variety of items — there will be a trumpet that belonged to jazz musician Louis Armstrong.W: I love Louis Armstrong's music. What else?M: Clothing owned by freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, and an airplane in which the first African-American military pilots learned to fly.(Text 6)M: Well, it looks as though the red car was approaching the zebra crossing and a motorcycle was coming round the roundabout.W: Yes, I think the driver of the blue lorry was trying to overtake the red car. It pushed the red car out of the way and the red car crashed into the guard rail.M: Then it looks as though the blue lorry drove straight across the zebra crossing and then knocked the motorcyclist off his motorbike.W: Who do you think caused the accident?M: The driver of the blue lorry clearly wasn't driving carefully.W: Yes, I think that's right.(Text 7)W: Hi, Tim. You look anxious today. How is work at the school newspaper office?M: Oh, I haven't yet figured out how to fill the empty space in our school newspaper.W: It's nearly time for the newspaper to come out!M: Yes. A guy was supposed to hand in a story today, but he can't finish the article until next week.W: You know, Tim, Carl is a member of our school's poetry club and his poems are really popularamong the students. Why don't you put some of his poems in the paper?M: Sounds good, but poems wouldn't be enough to fill up the space — it's a whole page.W: Oh ... Why not fill the blank space with some advertisements, like for jobs? Summer vacation is coming soon, and many students are about to start looking for part-time jobs.M: Good idea!(Text 8)M: Hi, Shelley. Come on in.W: Uh, yeah, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house. M: I sure am. Let me show you around the place. Uh, here's the living room. The curtains and the wallpapers are new.W: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet ... and those stains?M: Well, I know it needs to be cleaned.W: And what about the kitchen?M: Right this way. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except ... Well, the refrigerator door won't stay shut, but I've pushed a box against it to keep it shut.W: How about the bathroom? Don't tell me. The toilet seat is cracked.M: No, that's fine, though the windows are a little broken. What do you think? It has its problems, but we can fix those.W: Uh, no, thank you. I think I've seen enough.(Text 9)W: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. First of all, I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing. M: Well, I took four subjects in school: French, German, Chemistry and, uh, Art. Chemistry wasn't my cup of tea, but Art has always been.W: So you went on to study Art?M: Well, I really wanted to study Art, but it didn't turn out like that because a friend of my father's offered me a job — he's an accountant in quite a big firm.W: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting! In your application, you say that you only spent a year with this firm of accountants. Why was that?M: Well, to be quite honest, I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were good prospects. So I got a place at the Art College to do a three-year diploma course.W: I see. Now, Mr. Pitt, what do you do in your spare time?M: I like traditional and folk music. I don't play, of course, but I go to quite a lot of concerts. I'm in the local drama society. I read quite a lot and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot. That was ...W: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think that's all I wanted to ask about your background.(Text 10)Good morning, everyone. It's good to see you all here today. I'm sure some of you once dreamed of becoming famous. I used to be one of you. As a young actor, I first arrived in Los Angeles in 1984. I saw the shining lights of the city as the plane landed, and I felt excited as the first step that would lead me to fortune got under way. I imagined that the development of my dream would move smoothly, and soon I would be one of the best-known faces on cinema screens throughout the world. I was confident when I tried out for my first film in 1986. I knew the lead role was perfect for me, but when they offered me only a small role in the film, I saw that my plans for quick success were not going to work out. Over the years I tried out for many other roles, but Inever got a good part. I had to take less exciting jobs to support myself. Five years later, I found myself working in the offices of a movie company. After years of hard work, I ended up as a manager of this company! You know, it isn't easy doing this job. There are lots of things you need to consider, and you must always be ready to take responsibility if things go wrong. The hardest thing is dealing with actors who think they are the master of the world — boy, you can't imagine what a pain that is!。

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.25. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A. Two strangers joined her.B. Her childhood friends came in.C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.D. Some people held a party there.26. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s .A. readersB. partiesC. friendsD. stories27. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A. They live in big cities.B. They are mostly women.C. They come from real life.D. They are pleasure seekers.CIf you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and becausethese are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.28. What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ lectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.29. What can we learn about Decio?A. It is a new variety.B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.30. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C.A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.31. What is the aut hor’s p urpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples. B .To introduce an apple festival.C. To help people select apples.D. To promote apple research.DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re fe eling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first find ings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”32 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C. Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations．33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’re good at telling stories.C. They’re inconsiderate of others.D. They’re careful with their words.34.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
This is a remarkable book. The depth of the story went far beyond my expectations. The author paints a picture of Lincoln, a portrait (肖像) of strength, determination, and sacrifice in the face of personal and nationaldisaster. Although some readers may find it rude to use a great leader of the United States in a fictional action book for entertainment, Grahame Smith tries to preserve an air of dignity and honor in the character of Lincoln.
