2018届高三英语上学期第一次月考试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father's dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to e back, but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.In the song "Love Is Not a Fight" Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, "And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door." Sometimes angels e disguised as dogs.1. How was the dog when found?A. Too weak to walk.B. Thin and worn out.C. Unable to eat food.D. Homeless but gentle.2. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. the writer had his own pet dogB. the dog didn't go with the writerC. the dog didn't eat any of the foodD. Julie bought some food for the dog3. The underlined part "our problem" in the passage refers to the fact that ____.A. an old black dog appeared in front of themB. the writer didn't want to take Julie's adviceC. the couple had some trouble with their marriageD. Julie disagreed with the writer's travel on business4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Helpful CoupleB. A Famous SongC. Saving the DogD. An Angel DogBA pany advertised in the newspaper for a sales position. Details of the prerequisite (必备条件), salary and benefits were given. It was also clearly stated that applicants needed to take an aptitude test (能力倾向测试) and an interview. However, looking at the whole advertisement, one could not find any contact information of the pany.Most interested applicants thought that it was the pany’s HR department’s carelessness or a printing error. They therefore waited patiently for the newspaper to publish an amendment. But instead of waiting for the newspaper to publish the pany details, another three applicants took the initiative(主动权) to find out the pany’s contact information themselves.Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the pany’s name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the pany’s office number. She called up the office and got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same pany in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together with the pany’s contact information.Three days after that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the pany’s HR manager. They were then called up for an interview. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test is hidden in the advertisement itself. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps or rules. You are all clever and agile. In a short time, you’ve managed to find ways of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors!”The fools sit around waiting for their chances whereas the wise actively take actions with great initiative.5. According to the passage the pany wanted to test the applicants’ ______.A. sales skillsB. carefulnessC. attitudeD. initiative6. Whose search skill is the easiest of all?A. Tim’s.B. Lisa’s.C. Donna’s.D. None.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. The HR manager of the pany made a mistake.B. The pany meant to omit (遗漏) its contact information.C. The HR manager of the pany was unfit for his / her job.D. A printing error occurred in the advertisement in the newspaper.8. The writer wants to tell us through this passage that ______.A. no contact information seen in an advertisement might not be the pany’s mistakeB. applicants should be careful not to be fooled by the pany’s advertisementC. opportunity always belongs to whoever is active and broad-mindedD. there are many successful chances to be found in this ageCTobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by xx. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco.Tobacco is the fourth most mon risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-ine countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead.9. According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _______.A. relationshipB. educationC. healthD. economy10. The text uses a lot of figures to _____.A. show we shouldn’t smoke too muchB. tell people exactly the numberC. warn people of the harm of smokingD. indicate the writer had a careful investigation11. The underlined word “illiteracy” in the last paragraph means ____.A. great intelligenceB. good educationC. bad behaviorsD. inability to read or write12. What is the best title of the passage?A. Tobacco Should Be Banned.B. Why Is Tobacco a Major Threat to Public Health.C. Tobacco and Poverty Go Hand in Hand.D. Tobacco May Cause Death.DWe can offer you a place at one of the best universities in Britain.

内蒙古阿拉善左旗2018届高三英语第一次月考试题本试卷满分120分,时间100分钟第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节:(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US-based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.Italy: While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 p.m., the Italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.Germany:Coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 p.m.UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for Karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9 p.m. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24-hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 p.m., and then there is a steady interest in 24-hour food stores and delivery, until 1 a.m.France:The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology (皮肤科) at 10 p.m., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.21. A man searching for education information online often probably comes from ________.A. SpainB. UKC. FranceD. Germany22. What can we learn from the text ?A. The Italians don't like restaurants or bars.B. UK is considered the most organized country.C. Asian people often look for Karaoke first online.D. Usually French people end their online search early.23. In which section of a magazine does this text probably come from?A. Opinion.B. Lifestyle.C. Society.D. Technology.BOn the day of college graduation, I announced to my friends and family: I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood. “I just need a change,” I told them, but there was more. I was heartbroken. My relationship with the United States is the toughest one I have ever had, as a country I loved and believed in did not love me back.Back in the 1990s’, my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to America when I was four. She worked as a live-in nanny(保姆)for two years, playing mommy for white kids whose parents had better things to do. She was thirsty to embrace her American dream, hoping that her children would be educated and she might have nannies of her own one day.That was our path—get a “good education.” When the neighborhoods with quality schools became too expensive for my mom to afford as a single parent, we went across the United States with GreatSchools Net as our compass: New Jersey, elementary school; Texas, middle school; Florida, high school; New York City, private university.For a long time I survived by covering myself in all kinds of labels so that people would ignore the color of my skin, yet I existed on the edge of ugly, ignorant and uncolored. “Black people don’t really know how to swim,” a white lady told me when I worked as a swim instructor at my neighborhood’s pool. “The black childrendon’t like to read very much,” I overheard one librarian discussing with another while l was reading.I was never able to make America my home. When I stripped myself of the labels painfully one by one, beneath them there is a wounded colored woman who refuses to be faceless anymore. My face may be disgusting to some since it bears proof that race continues to be a problem. My hope is that it will force Americans to reexamine their “post—racial” beliefs.24. What was the real reason that made the author leave the United States?A. It couldn’t provide her with good education.B. She just needed a challenge in her way of life.C. The way she was treated there broke her heart.D. She was tired of living in a strange country.25. The author gives two examples in Paragraph 4 to show that _________ .A. she needed to cover herself in all kinds of labels.B. Black people and children don’t like swimming and reading at all.C. racial discrimination still exists in such a developed country.D. white people in America are ignorant and rude.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. The author’s mother was well educated and hoped the author could receive good education as her.B. The author and her mother referred to GreatSchools Net when the author wanted to choose schools to attend in America.C. The author once worked as a nanny as well as a swimming instructor.D. The author found it easy to adapt to the life in America when she first arrived there.27. The author writes the passage to hope _____________ .A. immigrants get ready for more hardshipB. the US people reflect on how it treated the colored peopleC. her family can understand her decisionD. the black people reexamine their ways of lifeCForests are amazing, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats (蝙蝠) or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them---the millipede(千足虫).The importance of leavesWhen the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.Food on the forest floorSome living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into small pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where millipede can help.More on the menuThe millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.28. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?A. It can often be seen on TV shows.B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.C. It is too small to be noticed by people.D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.29.Which of the following phrasal verbs is closest in meaning to the underlined word “decompose”in Paragraph3?A. break downB. dry upC. dig inD. make up30. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.31. According to the author, the millipede is ___________ .A. poisonousB. rareC. unimportantD. amazingDThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic thanit does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”32. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to ___________ .A. express the author’s doubtsB. tell readers how to save moneyC. introduce points for discussionD. show the kindness of the cashier33. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _____________.A. need more water to produceB. require less energy to recycleC. take more time to break downD. have less influence on forests34. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 pro bably means “_____________ ”.A. sharedB. given upC. discussedD. put forward35. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask ?A. Paper or cloth?B. Paper or plastic?C. A small bag or big one?D. A new bag or your own one?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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIf you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland,why not visit the Maryland Science Center?It is located at 601 Light Street,Baltimore,MD 2.The ticket prices vary depending on ages,groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum,but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play,rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics,including outer space,the human body,dinosaurs,electricity,marine (海洋的)biology,energy,and much more.You can also take part in the interactive activities,such as racing bubbles,digging for dinosaur fossils,using puzzle pieces to construct cars,and so much more.The Davis Planetarium(天文馆)At the Davis Planetarium,you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center.

I remember my struggles in class."I don't know the answer,"I would say,"I can’t do it!"“Perhaps you don't know the answer,”he wou ld say quietly."Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?"Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried,that was enough."Don't be so hard on yourself,"he'd say."Stop blaming yourself.Did you try your best?Well,then you're not a failure,"he often told me these words.Mr.Myrus died in 1978.I had never thought about his death.He was too young.I felt sorry.But when I think about him now,I don't feel so sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We can't all be “the best”,but we can,each of us,be our best,and I know that's true because Mr.Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr.Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn't particular about what be wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “dema ndi ng” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B.Serious.C.Critical.D.Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr.Myrus trad been his teacher for eightyears.C.He became interested in math because of Mr.Myrus.D.He developed a good relationship with Mr.Myrus.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Mr.Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr.Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket,a customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.There's no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those people are using “smart mac hi nes” which iden tify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”say s Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can also identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept conf idential by the machine itself.”Some people don't like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,andfeel like they are being accused of something.In addition,they don't work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesn't really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint(限制)we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person's iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What's the author's intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don't people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don't want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people's privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author's attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B.Bitter.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines.B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines' value in economy.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。

2018届高三上学期英语9月月考试卷真题
2018届高三上学期英语9月月考试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed ?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don’t take yourself out of the ga me by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby ca r, but you might bea great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior because you don’t have much money and you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.(1)According to the author plays an important role in making friends.A . admitting your shortcomingsB . self criticismC . modestyD . confidence(2)If you are not liked by a person, .A . you should find the reason in yourselfB . you’d better talk with the person face to faceC . you may not be the one to be blamedD . you and that person misunderstand each other(3)We can learn from the third paragraph that .A . your good qualities may turn out to be your flawsB . your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayC . your negative qualities cause a person to reject youD . you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities(4)Which of the following is true according to the author?A . It is important to lose weight.B . It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C . Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.D . If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.2. 阅读理解Tired of Working in Your Country?With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.

Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem atall. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.Newspapers will come to an end in 2043. In the future, digital newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel. Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy.Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students ‘library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, who will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.(1)Why has the Spring Festival caused headaches for many Chinese?A . Because it is the most important Chinese holiday.B .

His poor jacket, patched trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile. He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.” Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemontea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!” He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill. The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person.(1)Mary ran over to the old man because .A . the old man was the boss of the restaurantB . she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurantC . the old man had asked her to wait on himD . she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat(2)The words the man left on the napkin suggested that .A . respecting others means respecting oneselfB . serving others is a respectable jobC .

Kindness Means OpportunitiesC . AnopportunityD . A Special boss二、完形填空5. 完形填空As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this 1at work in people of all2. For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 3with their new toys. But their4soon wears off and by January those 5toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 6stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 7interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 8bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 9of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 10but are soon looking forward to 11.

Simply as king someone “How are you” may just get “Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen. “It’s important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they’re afraid to ask for,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.________If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting —maybe he’s not smiling much these days, for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’”, Van Dahlen says.He’s unusu ally unhappy or annoyed.________“It may take more than one time to follow up if you’re talkingto someone who is upset,” Van Dahlen says, “but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you’re onto something.”He’s less put together than usual.Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing.________He seems overwhelmed by life.No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can’t find anything to be hopeful about, he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “________” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need.”A. He’s acting a bit more withdrawn.B. He doesn’t seem like himself lately.C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.E. It’s a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health.F. Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.G. We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.四、短文填空7. 语法填空The young artist and potter Allan had a wife and two fine sons.

B.Thailand. C.Russia. D.India.7.We can know from the passage that ________.A.Not all the Teachers' Days are celebrated on holidaysB.China is the first country to celebrate Teachers' DayC.Thailand first celebrated Teachers' Day in 1956D.Russia and USA celebrate Teachers' Day on the same dayCThe popular smartphone application Instagram(照片分享)has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking(创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic qualit y, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration —despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.8. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C. The changes that Instagram brings us.D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.9. What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A. Help people to discover true self.B. Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C. Encourage people to be more competitive.D. Let people gain others’ respect and admiration.10. Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.11. What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Useful.B. Valueless.C. Helpless.D. Absurd.DNew mercury(汞) threat to oceans from climate change Rising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seven times the current rates, said Swedish researchers in an article published in Science Journal. They’ve discovered warmi ng increases levels of the toxin (毒素) in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line.Mercury is one of the world’s most toxic metals, and according to the World HealthOrganization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children.The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury(甲基水银), an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%, since the industrial revolution say experts, driven up by the use of fossil fuels such as coal.In recent years there have been concentrated efforts to limit the amount of mercury entering the environment, with an international treaty, called the Minamata Convention, signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.Researchers hope that the Minamata treaty will be successful and countries reduce the amount of mercury that is being produced. Otherwise this discovery of a previously unknown source could have impacts for human health.Other researchers in the field say that the new study highlights important issues that have previously been little known.“This work experimentally proves that climate change will have a significant effect of methylmercury budgets in coastal waters and its accumulation in fish,” said Milena Horvat from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia.“This work will also help us understand the formation of mercury in fish and help reduce mercury from emission sources (primarily industrial).”12. Where did Swedish researchers find warming increases levels of the toxin?A. In the Pacific Ocean.B. On the Continent.C. In Red Sea.D. In sea creatures.13. What can cause damage to the nervous system?A. Exposure to mercury.B. Mercury at high levels.C. Methylmercury.D. The use of fossil fuels.14. How does methylmercury form?A. By limiting the amount of mercury entering the environment.B. By reducing the amount of mercury.C. When bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants.D. When climate change returns to normal.15. What can we know from Milena Horvat’s words?A. Climate change will increase the levels of mercury in food.B. Levels of mercury in the wor ld’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%.C. The Minamata Convention has been signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.D. Mercury reduction from emission sources can be beneficial to fish.第二节(共5个小题;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项。

On one-way, multiple lanes(车道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest.Hand SignalsThough indicators(车的指示灯) are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and are usually always asked in a driving test. When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward. When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left. If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward.School BusesYellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off. No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop. It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed. Using the HornUsing horns is not common in America. Actually they are very rarely used. You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents. Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.41. If Freddy is asked to go to Florida in the shortest time from Missouri, on whichlane in the picture below should he drive his car according to Paragraph 1?A. Lane ①.B. Lane ②.C. Lane ③.D. Lane ④.42.

Use horns sometimes to warn passers-by of danger.B. Drive on before the stop sign on a school bus is removed.C. Use hand signals instead of indicators to show which direction you are going.D. Do not use warning signals in the school bus until all the pupils get on the bus.44. Who is the passage most probably written for?A. Passers-by.B. Pupils.C. Policemen.D. Drivers.BWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves – but man-made ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to copy this seemingly simple process.The man-made leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his partners at MIT can be seen as a special chip with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity.A man-made leaf is not a new idea. The first man-made leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and changeable for practical use. The new leaf, on the contrary, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that a man-made leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful, new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy change inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the machine can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesn’t need pure water. This is important for some countries that don’t have enough pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “giving energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new machine could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China.45. What will give power to our house in the future, according to MIT?A. Man-made leaves.B. Nuclear.C. Solar power.D. Wind.46. Which of the following orders correctly shows how the man-made leaf is used toproduce electricity?a. man-made leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc. the man-made leaves are put in waterd. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. cbad.B. bcad.C. cabd.D. cadb.47. What does the underlined “stable” in the 4th paragraph mean?A. Secure.B. Powerful.C. Unnatural.D. Unchangeable.48. The aim of the scientists at MIT in developing the new man-made leaves isto .A. build up more power stations in the worldB. provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis processCThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to save man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!49.

No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.” "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I coulddo to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her former owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.53. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .A. felt worriedB. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire54.

Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 57 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.58 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’tfresh. 59 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 60 First, clean it and season it withyour choice of spices(调料).
