第一局部阅读理解〔共两节，总分为40分〕第一节 (共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分)阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最优选项。
AWhen traveling, it’s important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.●Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away－an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.●Eating CustomsBeing early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela.If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.2. What does the underlined word “insulting〞in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Respectful.B. Challenging.C. Indifferent.D. Offensive.3. Where is this passage probably from?A. A news report.B. A travel essay.C. A culture column.D. A food magazine.BI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search.I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?〞 He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts,ou r two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.〞I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.4. Whatdo we know about the man from the passage?A. He had lost contact with his family.B. He had been forbidden to smoke.C. He had been searched.D. He had killed someone.5. Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A. Because he was sure he was to be killed.B. Because he wanted the guard to set him free.C. Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.D. Because he was a regular heavy smoker.6. What can we infer from the story?A. The guard freed him in the prison.B. The man smiled to please the guard.C. The guard set the man free with permission.D. The man was surprised to be set free.7. What is the most important factor in saving the man’s life?A. The smile.B. The cigarette.C. The tears.D. The wallet.CSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, MountQomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable —it’s co ld and windy up there —but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. MountQomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.〞But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.8. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to MountQomolangma’s peak?A. They are relatively safe.B. They are often crowded.C. They are very easy to pass.D. They are sites of base camps.9. What does the underlined word “gear〞 mean?A. Equipment for climbing mountains.B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.10. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.A.created works of art using rubbish from QomolangmaB. were employed by the Everest Peakeers AssociationC. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trashD. painted 74 beautiful pictures of MountQomolangma’s peak11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulB. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaDStudents from FloridaInternationalUniversity in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的〕shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it ac ross the lake in order to earn an “A〞 on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,〞 Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.〞A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,〞 he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.〞12. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A. To go across the lake to school.B. To test their balance on the water.C. To pass Professor Canaves’ class.D. To win the prize money of $ 500.13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.C. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.C. The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professionalcareer.D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.15. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. show his approval of the unique teaching styleB. report an interesting assignmentC. inspire teachers to be more creativeD. encourage more people to take part in the race第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

甘肃省河西五市部分高中2016届高三英语第一次联考试题
2016年1月甘肃省河西五市部分普通高中高三第一次联考英语试卷第I 卷第一部分阅读理解（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。
AMy daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she did in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.1. What did the author once do according to the passage?A. She was a ticket seller.B. She was a school teacher.C. She was a babysitter.D. She was a social worker.2. How did the boy get to know the author’s daughter?A. They met when buying tickets to a baseball game.B. They got in touch via the Internet.C. They became familiar when talking face to face.D. They went to the same school and met each other.3. Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa?A. Because Alisa is a disabled girl.B. Because he has a lot money to share.C. Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.D. Because he has a similar situation with Alisa.4. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Good is rewarded with good.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.BElectricity bills can be highly expensive and the power we consume comes at an even greater cost to the environment when you consider that over 85% of the electricity produced in the United States comes from fuels. Whether you’re concerned about cleaning up the environment or you simply want to reduce your electricity bill，residential wind power generators（发电机）could be a solution.Producing wind power at home will not work for everyone. If you live in a over-populated residential area，there may be certain laws and zoning requirements that prohibit the use of windmills（风车）.If you live on 1 acre of land or more,you probably won’t have any issues but you should investigate carefully to make sure that wind power generators are both legal and practical where you live. Even if there are no laws or regulations prohibiting wind power generators you still need to be in a location that gets enough wind on a regular basis.Some producers of wind generators recommend that you live in an area with wind speeds that average at least 10 mph. Newer models have been developed recently that can operate with wind speeds as low as 4 mph but maximum efficiency is achieved at higher wind speeds. Before you fix a wind powered system,you will have to determine your power requirements. Will you be using it to charge a small battery for a boat or vehicle or will you need enough power to run your entire household and be completely off the grid（电网）？Once you know what your power requirements are，you can start shopping around for a system that can meet those needs.Wind power generators are a great solution for a lot of people.They’re an ideal solution for remote locations where it would be impractical or simply too expensive to tap into the grid.They are quiet and totally clean，producing no pollution. They require no fuel and very little maintenance. Residential wind power offers a lot of benefits but it’s not for everyone. You’ll have to have some money up front to pay for the system and equipment;however,you could save quite a bit of money if you’re able to do much of the work yourself. You’ll also need to live in an area that gets enough wind to make the equipment worthwhile. You’ll need to do yourhomework before you make a purchase,but wind power generators could be a great solution for producing clean, low-cost energy.5. What is the main idea of the first paragraph？A. Electricity bills can be highly expensive.B. Most of the electricity in the US comes from fuels.C. Generating electricity does harm to the environment.D. Residential wind power generators are useful and necessary.6. What can we infer from the passage？A. wind power generators enjoy a lot of benefits.B. you can place wind power generators wherever you want.C. wind power generators are affordable to most families.D. wind power generators are an ideal solution for everyone.7. What attitude might the writer hold towards residential wind power generators？A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. SkepticalD. Cautious8. What is the best title for the passage？A. Ways of Fully Using Wind PowerB. How to Reduce Your Electricity BillC. Alternative Solution-Wind PowerD. Function of Wind Power GeneratorsCThe Winter Olympic Games are a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France. The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II. The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years. Until 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same year.The Winter Games have evolved since its beginning. Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as short track speed skating, freestyle skiing, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program. Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced. Still others, such as speed skiing, bandy and skijoring, were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合并)as Olympic sports. The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games. It created an income stream, via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising.This allowed outside interests, such as television companies and corporate sponsors.Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan’s Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics. With a fully-prepared final presentation by an all-star team, Beijing has successfully convinced the committee members that the 2008 Olympics host city is a more favored candidate for the Winter Games. Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world’s most populated country.9. Why were the Winter Olympic Games not held for 12 years ?A. Because of the economic crisisB. Because of culture differenceC. Because of the Second World WarD. Because of countries’ lack of interest10. Which of the following is a sports event of the Winter Games ?A. Speed skiingB. Freestyle skiingC. BandyD. Skijoring11. What does the underlined word “ enhanced” in paragraph two mean?A. ImprovedB. ReducedC. PausedD. Balanced12. Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games mainly due to______.A. its rich experienceB. its large populationC. its safetyD. its ability to stage the GamesDHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them withyour position.B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with theposition when you select jobs.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the positionwhen you select job.D .You should ignore your skills when you select job.14. In a job search, what quality is not mentioned in the passage?A. Outgoing.B. Motivated.C. Cooperative.D. Passionate.15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and Jobs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。

The college entrance exams are really around the corner now. As time becomes limited and school work begins to pile up, many students start to feel much stressed --some find themselves very unenergetic and not able to concentrate; some even fall asleep in class. What should we do to avoid this?First of all, physical exercise is the best way to reduce stress and help people relax. Therefore it is highly advisable that we have some physical exercise after some hours of mental exercise. Second, having a proper study plan is of great importance too，since it can remind us what to do and is helpful for us to do our work more efficiently. Last but not least, we should pay special attention to our diet as well. Anyway, a balanced and nutritious diet can keep a busy mind smartand energetic.Only if we can do these three things mentioned above will we make our time of study and preparation work enjoyable, efficient and fruitful.Thank you.TranscriptText 1W: Good morning, Hank.

From that day, he has become a member of our family. Everyone has enjoyed his company. My parents walk him often. He and I play joyfully. He has brought us great happiness and laughter. 听力原文：Text 1M: Can I help you find something?W: I’m looking for summer clothes.

湖北省部分重点中学2016届高三第一次联考高三英语试卷命题学校：武汉三中命题教师：李继伟审题教师：胡碧婉第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AZigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside. Still nobody came. Maybe today, he thought hopefully. It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle (奇迹).This farmhouse had been empty too long. It needed a family. Zigfried’s stomach made a noise. He realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. He jumped from the windowsill (窗沿), grabbed a bag from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike’s.Farmer Mike’s house had been a great place for the little mouse until the farmer married a wife who had a cat. Zigfried trembled when he thought of it. He looked around cautiously as he stole into the room where grain was stored and was quite nervous as he filled his bag with wheat. He was turning to leave when suddenly he felt a hot breath about his ear. His heart beat 40 , and without thinking he started to run and luckily escaped the cat’s paws (爪子).The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: a new family would be moving into the farmhouse soon. Zigfried’s granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to celebrate with him. He hoped that the family would come before his granny came. Before long, a car came up the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate.Zigfried’s Christmas miracle did arrive!The house came alive the next few days. Zigfried enjoyed every single hour of them. However, the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a satisfied smile at the door of his home, he heard the discussion of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas. What? A cat? The smile froze on his face; his mouth fell wide open. After a long while, he at last found his voice: “Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?”21. On the whole, the way this story is told is similar to that of statement __________.A. The snow was as thick as a blanket.B. Food is to the body what fuel is to the engine.C. The 21st century sees a lot of great inventions.D. A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tyred.22. For Zigfried, the farmhouse had been a great place until the farmer married. It is because _______.A. the farmer never shared his love with mice after his marriage.B. it was no longer safe with the hostess having a cat around.C. the hostess always cleared away every piece of leftovers.D. the farmer always got the house locked.23. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Life Is Full Of Pleasant SurprisesB. No Wonder That Life Consists Of Ups And DownsC. All Miracles Are Not Bad Ones.D. Whose Christmas Miracle Is This?BHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones.
