2018年高考英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches,canals and coasts,which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots,especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads,Stradbroke Island,and Burleigh Heads,with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend?They might go for a ride on their boat!Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing,or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close,the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat,from shrimps (?r)to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland?A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to?A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy,cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms,so it’s the perfect time to do some baking,just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead(揉)bread dough(生面团). Suddenly,there is the sound of shouting,tears, a door slam,followed one of them calling,“Mom!He hurt me!”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too,ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared,but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So,who wants to help me bake some bread?”I ask brightly,ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring,”Tristan finally admits.“Okay,what would you like to make?”I ask.“Chocolate!”Sawyer yells,breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies!”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats,I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter,flour on the floor,and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate,of course,but,smiling ear to ear---and the mess,and their previous fight,is forgotten.As we close the curtains,we sit together on the sofa,and dig into the big plate of cookies,fresh from the oven,baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh?A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry?A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate,the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults,costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National Health Service(NHS)will be offering a new solution:acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years,but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally,doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However,there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation(脊柱推拿),or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK,acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment,which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks(牙签)which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage,which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph?A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately,some children can’t use these resources,even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson,for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments(?网膜脱落),making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh,head of the Tactile Picture Books Project,has started printing 3D books,so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon,a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book,children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to,whether it is a cow jumping over the moon,a balloon,or a dollhouse.Generally,when children grow older,they read by using Braille,a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However,without these,visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed,plastic is layered(分层放置)repeatedly over a single shape:the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph2 mean?A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5?A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project?A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? (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。

2018年高考英语模拟题考试英语试卷-Word版含答案TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testingprogram. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior Test is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary Test is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skills The IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers andmagazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary Test.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three populartestsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun. “We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger.While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Earth,” Jenkins said. “That isconsiderable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary condi tions for life exist on this planet.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosp here is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. W hat type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who islearning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what theChinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which isa better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.D Just three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded(超过)100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audience because they long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments fromforeigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope lit even though being in t he most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr. “Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watching the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domesticanimation film, when I walked out of the theater,I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A. Chinese audience long for and cherish his own superheroB. the film is based on the household legend of the Monkey KingC. the Chinese need a hero to look up to, to give them hope and courageD. the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood13. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the film is still a Chinese style heroic legendB. the film is well-receivedC. the film tells us the fact that what makes a true hero is to help people when one has the powerD. the film only aroused enthusiasm among Chinese audience14. After watching the film, the netizen mentioned in the last paragraph was _________.A. very sadB. deeply movedC .very crazy D. deeply gloomy15. Why does the writer mention Weibo, Tumblr and Yibada? Because he wants to __________.A. persuade more readers to visit themB. tell readers some information about themC. make them better known to readersD. provide some evidence for readers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。

ABig messagingapps abroadWhile WeChat is China ’ s biggest mobile messaging app,there are many equivalent apps in other countries that offer similar features.WhatsApp (US)Users:more than 600 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerryFeatures:text chat,push-to-talk,file sharing,location sharingWith more than 600 million active users,WhatsApp is one of WeChat’s biggest competitors.Developed by two ex-Yahoo employees in 2009,WhatsApp originally focused on text chat,but on Aug.6 it also started push-to-talk service.It ’ s noted for its accessibility,ease of use and the absence of adverts.The service is free for the firstyear,after which $0.99 is charged for a one-year subscription.KakaoTalk (South Korea )Users:more than 100 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerry and bada (an operating system developed by Samsung) Features:text chat,group chat,push-to-talk,group calls,file sharingWith more than 100 million users in more than 230 countries,KakaoTalk is a multi-platform texting applicationthat allows users to send and receive messages for free.With KakaoTalk,users can message each other one-on-one or in group chats with unlimited numbers of friends.You can also choose from many animated emoticons and share them with friends.Line (Japan)Users:more than 600 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerry and PCFeatures:text chat,group chat,push-to-talk,file sharing,location sharing,gaming,stickersLine tops the list of the most downloaded free apps in 52 countries.Apart from text and voice messaging,Line provides its users with more than 250 original stickers and emoticons to buy from its own shop.In the first quarter of 2013 alone,it made $17 million just from stickers.The popular app also allows friends to battle each other in theLINE GAME.pared with the other two apps,which of the following features makes Line stand out?A.Group mobile games.B.Free emoticons.C.Free downloads of the app.D.Text and group chat.22.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?23.In which part of the newspaper may this article be found?A.Advertisement.B.Economy and Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I ’ m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,readthe news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming ( 宣布 ) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we ’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it ’ s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I ’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thingthat can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it ’ s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A. Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’ s favorite books.B.Acomfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily. C.The authorsometimes reads something about inspiration. D.Reading somethingstimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep. 26.What isParagraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”But. have you ever thought about this expression?When acat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in itsbloodstream.Although the cat doesn ’ t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn ’ t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it ’ s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadnesshidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’ t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don ’ t just go away.It ’ s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you ’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’ d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’ t exist,but they ’ll still be around.And at last you ’ ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear,.A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’ t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don ’ t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It ’ s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people ’ s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn ’ t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you ”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don ’ t these people realize that they’ re wasting your time?Maybe I ’ m the rude one for not appreciating life ’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards justdon’ t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don ’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail isa now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listenedto.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls . “Why areyou leaving him voice mail? ”my sister asked. “Just text him . ”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,abusiness’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially olderones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist ( 人类学家 ) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here ’ s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word“Exasperated”mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn ’ t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn ’ t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’ t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’ t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?第二节 (共 5 小题 ;每题 2 分 ,满分 10 分 )依据短文内容 ,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

AThe following is a list of notable trees from around the world.The list includes actual trees located throughout the world,as well as trees from myths and trees from fiction.The Lost TreeThe Lost Tree is a remote tree in the Tenere region of the Sahara desert in Northeast Niger.The tree is an acacia (刺槐),lying on a small mound on a sea cap.Despite its small size,due to its remoteness,the tree is an important landmark.Thierry Sabine,founder of the Dakar Rally,died in a helicopter crash nearby the tree.His ashes were spread around the Lost Tree.A small monument next to the tree is dedicated to his memory,reading “For those who go a challenge -for those who stay a dream ”.The Cotton TreeThe Cotton Tree is a historic symbol of Freetown,the capital city of Sierra Leone.According to legend,the “Cotton Tree ”gained importance in 1792when a group of former African American slaves,who had gained their freedom by fighting for the British during the American War of Independence,settled the site of modern Freetown.The Wonder TreeThe Wonder Tree is a dense forest of parent and daughter trees of the ficus species,which pulls larger number of tourist to Pretoria every year.It descended from a central stem of about a thousand years old.It is situated in the Wonderboom Nature Reserve,Pretoria,and two circular walkways currently protect it from pedestrian traffic around its trunk and roots.As it has grown,its outlying branches have rooted themselves around the parent tree.This has repeated until there are now three layers of daughtertrees encircling the mother stem,with13distinct trunks,covering a50-metre area.The Dragon TreeIn California,close to the Church of San Marcos,stands the famous Dragon Tree(22m high,lower trunk diameter10m, estimated weight70t),which is reputed to be a thousand years old(hence its local name,El Drago Milenario:the Thousand-Year-Old Dragon).While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree because it does not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages,it is the long-time symbol.21.Where did an airplane crash happen?A.Near the Lost Tree.B.Near the Cotton Tree.C.Near the Wonder Tree.D.Near the Dragon Tree.22.Why is the Cotton Tree on the list of four notable trees?A.Because it serves as a landmark for sailors.B.Because it’s attached a historic significance.C.Because it stands in a unique natural reserve.D.Because it’s well-known for its longevity.23.The Dragon Tree’s exact age hasn’t been identified because________.A.its trunk is too thickC.it has no growth ringsB.it’s too old to be measuredD.it doesn’t produce any fruitBWe shouldn’t be asking what happened with Trump.What happened to The Atlantic(美国大西洋月刊)?I’ve been a reader for years,after abandoning Time and Newsweek because of their People-like superficiality(肤浅).The appearance of considered thoughts at The Atlantic is what kept me there.But since you decided to take sides in the presidential election,stinging hysterical writing is all I find,especially on November9.That’s perhaps understandable The Day After,but,folks,the sky won’t fall.It won’t fall because the ernment’s institutions are designed to prevent irrational outcomes to a good degree.Trust the system a little,if you learned anything from history.I probably do not feel the pain to the same degree as you do, though I am concerned,and on pins and needles.I admit it:I voted for Trump—at the limit of my tolerance for bad taste and unhinged statements.But I did so not because I am an uneducated,violent,intolerant,gun-waving guy—as the press has made habit of defining(定义)Trump supporters.I made my decision based on sensible thinking.I have an MBA.I refuse violence and support gun control.And I’m an immigrant,now a citizen after obtaining green cards twice,all by the legal process.The direct reason to drive me to abandon Hillary Clinton is the fear of the possibility of corruption(腐败):the history of all countries around the world,since World War II,where an immediate relative followed a president or PM(see my list below).In all cases,either the“succession”was made possible by local corruption,or advanced it as a result,or both.This is to be expected when the vested interests(既得利益者)supporting one person get to take advantage of continued control of the government from behind the scenes by electing the relative.I voted for Trump only because of the smell of corruption resulting from the Clinton Machine.That smell is well documented by Wikileaks and Podesta’s emails describing the Clinton Foundation/State Department connections.To that you can add the past four decades of continuous scandals(丑闻)—why only them with so many?24.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.Time and Newsweek greatly appealed to the writer.B.The writer shared the same stand with the Atlantic.C.The Atlantic lacks for thought and deepness.D.The writer and The Atlantic vary in election stand.25.What do newspapers think of Trump’s supporters?A.Positively.B.Negatively.C.Rationally.D.Objectively.26.Why did the writer refuse to vote for Hillary?A.Because he didn’t trust the American system.B.Because Hillary Clinton was corrupted.C.Because he was afraid corruption would occur.D.Because Hillary had a corrupted history.27.What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer’s stand was affected by the Internet.B.Trump won the support of newspapers.C.Trump’s supporters had a positive image.D.The writer lacked rational thinking.CNew Zealand performs well in many measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index.New Zealand ranks at the top in health status.It ranks above the average,environmental quality,civic engagement,housing, subjective well-being,education and skills,jobs and earnings, and social connections but below average in income and wealth, work-life balance,and personal security.These rankings are based on available selected data.Money,while it cannot buy happiness,is an important means to achieving higher living standards.In New Zealand,the average household disposable income is lower than the OECD average of USD30563a year.In terms of employment,76%of people aged 15to64in New Zealand have a paid job,above the OECD employment average of67%.Some81%of men are in paid work, compared with71%of women.Good education and skills are important requisites for finding a job.In New Zealand,77%of adults aged25-64have completed upper secondary education,higher than the OECD average of74%.In terms of the quality of its educational system,the average student scored506in reading literacy,maths and science.This score is higher than the OECD average of486.On average in New Zealand,girls outperformed boys by6points,wider than the average OECD gap of2points.In terms of health,life expectancy at birth in New Zealand is 82years,two years higher than the OECD average of80years. Life expectancy for women is83years,compared with80for men. The level of atmospheric PM2.5–tiny air pollutant particles small enough to enter and cause damage to the lungs–is4.9 micrograms per cubic meter,considerably lower than the OECD average of13.9micrograms per cubic meter.New Zealand also does well in terms of water quality,as90%of people say they are satisfied with the quality of their water,higher than the OECD average of81%.In general,New Zealanders are more satisfied with their lives than the OECD average.When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from0to10,New Zealanders gave it a7.3grade on average,higher than the OECD average of6.5.28.As for major index,New Zealand is far ahead of other countries in__________.A.health statusB.civil engagementC.national educationD.average income29.How does the writer think of the function of money?A.Money can bring happiness.B.Money is symbol of social status.C.It’s a key tool to improve your life.D.It’s a short cut to get employed.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Boys perform better at school than girls in New Zealand.B.Men usually live a even longer life than most women.C.New Zealand’s environment is even better than before.D.New Zealanders are content with their lives as a whole.31.Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage?A.Topic+coordinate evidences.B.Topic+evidences+conclusion.parative evidences+conclusion.D.Topic+comparison+conclusion.DBesides,what they may feel is that a well-written argumentative essay can receive a falling grade if certain measures aren’t taken to ensure that the opinions of the writer don’t sink into his/her work.Actually,one of the basic rules by which to write an argumentative essay is not to add his opinions into it.To be more exact,your subject must be laid on the ground of facts.Argumentative essays are often on controversial topics.This makes sense because,after all,if everyone agrees on a topic, there’s little to argue about.After reading an argumentative essay, the reader might continue to disagree with the argument of the writer,but the point of the paper isn’t to convince the reader that the writer is right,but to present a well-rounded,logical,and rational discussion of the topic.Although an argumentative essay is likely developed because of a certain opinion that the writer holds,no actual opinions can be included.An argumentative essay is a composition of credible facts and research about a subject which supports the argument of the writer,but that aren’t opinion-based.This means that although the writer might be using an opinion or belief as a springboard for his/her argument,that argument has to be solidly backed by more than just those opinions and beliefs.After all,it is an article to prove that your thesis is fair and sensible.An argumentative essay never says“I believe or I think,”but,instead,makes affirmative and definitive statements such as “Funding for the nation’s financial foundation.”Once the statement,has been made,the rest of the credible evidence that backs up the statement and explaining how,indeed,the evidence does support the statement.It isn’t good enough to merely present the facts.The writer must tell the reader how those facts support the thesis.In addition to presenting credible evidence that back up the thesis,a student has to ensure that the argumentative essay is written in a credible tone.Argumentative reports should never sound as if they’re lecturing the reader or belittling anyone who holds a position contrary to that presented.An argumentative report should instead present the facts in a way as unemotional as possible in order to appear trustworthy,professional,and,above all,credible.32.What’s the most important to do to complete an essay?A.Tell the facts from the opinion.B.Base their argument on facts.C.Expose their opinions clearly.bine their beliefs with facts.33.What is an argumentative essay intended to do?A.Prove the writer is right.B.The reader must agree to the topic.C.Expose what you think of.D.Show your argument is reasonable.34.Which of the following is a reasonable statement used in an essay?A.Maybe addiction to alcohol is harmful.B.I think greenhouse effect is not dreadful.C.Rising house prices is harmful to economy.D.I believe green economy will be successful.35.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To show how to write an argumentative essay.B.To show what to do with a topic of a passage.C.To show how to reason with other people.D.To show what to do to back up your thesis.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。

with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is mos t definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express you r feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can a ctually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide the m and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear, .A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelin gs.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standar ds just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when i n trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?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。

One key to a relaxing and meaningful holiday is finding what works best for you,both in terms of gift giving and other holiday traditions.Putting some thought into what the holidays mean to you and then focusing your energies on those aspects that leave you feeling most satisfied can help you let go of the stuff that may be stressing you out.28.What can we learn about the holiday gifts generations ago?A. They were valueless.B. They were highly valued.C. They were given little attention.D. They were more about expressing feelings.29.What is the result of focusing too much on receiving?A. Receivers are often disappointed.B. Gifts become the focus of holidays.C. Our culture grows more commercial.D. Much more money was spent on gifts.30.According to the text,how can we make holidays more meaningful?A. Avoiding giving and receiving gifts.B. Figuring out your real expectations.C. Doing some shopping in the holidays.D. Putting more thought into the gifts to give.31.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Changes in Giving GiftsB. What Stresses You out on Holidays?C. Are the Holidays Too Materialistic?D. The Development of Holiday TraditionsDAsking a patient to hum(哼唱)piano tunes and play fin instrument while undergoing brain surgery(手术)may sound like a strange request from a doctor.However,that is exactly what a team of brain specialists,led by Pilcher,requested Dan Fabbio to do.In 2015,the then 25-year-old musician was diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤),which was located in the part of the brain known to be active when people listen to and make music.“Removing a tumor from the brain can have significant consequences depending on its location,”Pilcher says.“Both the tumor and the operation can damage tissue and affect communication between different parts of the brain.”Fabbio,therefore,feared the surgery would cause him to lose his musical ability.To prevent that from happening,Pilcher and his colleague designed many tests,including asking Fabbio to listen to piano tunes and hum back during MRI scans.This enabled the physicians to locate the area that is vital for music and language processing and create a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.Despite the great starting point,it was not a perfect way to prevent possible damage to the.The only way was to keep the patient awake and ask him to hum piano tunes during the surgery so that the surgeons could identify the areas to avoid.While the surgery went smoothly,the real test came when Fabbio was asked to play a song on his saxophone.The tunehad been simplified to ensure that it would not require too much strength and cause harm to the stitches(缝线)in the brain.He played it faultlessly,and when he finished,the entire operating room erupted in applause.The researchers say that a year after the groundbreaking surgery,the young musician can once again hear tunes in everything—even his electric toothbrush.32.What can we infer from P ilcher’s words in Paragraph 2?A. Fabbio’s brain was seriously damaged.B. The surgery would be a huge challenge.C. Fabbio’s brain parts failed to communicate.D. The surgery had to be performed immediately.33.What’s the major difficulty in Fabbio’s surg ery?A. To keep his brain active.B. To help him overcome fear.C. To protect his musical ability.D. To enable him to play an instrument.34.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Creating a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.B. Removing the tumor from Fabbio’s brain.C. Keeping Fabbio awake during the surgery.D. Listening to piano tunes during MRI scans.35.Why was Fabbio requested to hum piano tunes during the surgery?A. To save his strength.B. To check the surgery result.C. To make the stitches work easier.D. To locate the vital area for music.三、七选五Gratitude(感恩)is a social feeling.Many people see it as relationship—strengthening because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and recognized by other people.First,it’s belief o f goodness.We are convinced that there are good things in the world,gifts and benefits we’ve received.The second part of gratitude is figuring out where that goodness comes from.36.It doesn’t come from anything we necessarily did ourselves.Instead,we acknowledge that other people gave us many gifts to help us achieve the goodness in our lives.37.Of course,there are various important reasons.Here are some of them.Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present.38.We notice the positives more,and that enlarge the pleasures you get from life.Instead of adapting to goodness,we celebrate goodness.Gratitude blocks negative feelings.You cannot feel envious and grateful at the same time.39.If you’re grateful,you can’t hate someone for having something that you don’t.Those are very different ways of connecting to the world,and sure enough,research has suggested that people who have high levels of gratitude have low levels of negative feelings.40.That’s because when you’re grateful,you have the sense that someone else has provided for your happiness.You notice a network of relationships of people think it’s worthwhile to help you get to where you are right now.Realizing someone has seen the value in you transforms the way you see yourself.A.They’re contradictory feelings.B.It strengthens positive feelings.C.Gratitude heightens your sense of self-worth.D.Most of the time,it makes you feel confused.E.Gratitude allows us to participate more in life.F.So why gratitude has such effects on people’s lives?G.We recognize the sources of it as being outside of ourselves.第II卷(非选择题)四、短文改错41.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

2018年高考英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches,canals and coasts,which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots,especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads,Stradbroke Island,and Burleigh Heads,with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend?They might go for a ride on their boat!Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing,or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close,the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat,from shrimps (?r)to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland?A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to?A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy,cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms,so it’s the perfect time to do some baking,just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead(揉)bread dough(生面团). Suddenly,there is the sound of shouting,tears, a door slam,followed one of them calling,“Mom!He hurt me!”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too,ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared,but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So,who wants to help me bake some bread?”I ask brightly,ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring,”Tristan finally admits.“Okay,what would you like to make?”I ask.“Chocolate!”Sawyer yells,breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies!”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats,I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter,flour on the floor,and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate,of course,but,smiling ear to ear---and the mess,and their previous fight,is forgotten.As we close the curtains,we sit together on the sofa,and dig into the big plate of cookies,fresh from the oven,baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh?A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry?A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26.

Back pain affects one in three British adults,costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National Health Service(NHS)will be offering a new solution:acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years,but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally,doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However,there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation(脊柱推拿),or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK,acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment,which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks(牙签)which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage,which is the best way to treat back pain?A.

They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately,some children can’t use these resources,even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson,for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments(?网膜脱落),making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh,head of the Tactile Picture Books Project,has started printing 3D books,so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon,a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book,children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to,whether it is a cow jumping over the moon,a balloon,or a dollhouse.Generally,when children grow older,they read by using Braille,a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However,without these,visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed,plastic is layered(分层放置)repeatedly over a single shape:the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph2 mean?A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5?A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project?A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? (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。
