《名师指津·高效备考新模式》高三英语月考卷八第Ⅰ卷(100分)第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共20题,每题2分,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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes,or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away from this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sandpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because_______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings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。

AHave you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered (拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destina tion, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineersB. Roman roads could prevent flooding using t he technique we don’t use todayC. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mileD. Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire22. What information can you find on the milestones?A. The builders of the road.B. The materials used in building roads.C. The distance from one city.D. The time spent in building roads.23. The passage mainly ________.A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievementsC. shows how great the Roman Empire wasD. introduces the construction of the Roman roadsBAfter having worked in the University of Maryland for three years, I got a job offer from another university--Lynn University. I left my letter of offer on my present boss’s d esk, turned around, and closed the door quietly. I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations, which would show her approval of my leaving.In the afternoon, my boss called me, saying, “Can we meet tomorrow?” That was a good signal. The next day, I met with my boss. She said, “Nicholas, we want you. What do you want?” I said, “Boss, I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance. I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here.” My boss said, “No problem.'”When I left her office, I called Lynn University and told them that I was goingto get a 10% pay raise. They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job. The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more, but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay.I would win a battle, but I would lose a war. He said, "The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you, so you will feel guilty and uncomfortable. But, I can still give you 5% more than the original offer."I delivered this massage to my present boss, and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer. On top of that, she would strongly support my early promotion from assistant professor to associate professor. According to the university policy, you must take at least 6 years to get promoted. That was my third year of employment at this university. After refusing the new job offer, I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion.24. In paragraph 2, what does Nicholas mean by “That was a good signal”?A. His boss would approve his leaving the University of Maryland.B. He would leave his present job and work for Lynn University.C. His boss would talk with him about a possible pay offer.D. His friends would congratulate him on getting a new job offer.25. Why did the new boss agree to another 5% raise when Nicholas asked for 10% the next day?A .He did not have the right to make such a big pay offer.B. he did not want Nicholas to earn more than he did.C. Nicholas was not experienced enough to get such a raise.D. Nicholas would not feel good for earning too much more than others.26. How much pay raise did the author finally get as a result of refusing the new job offer?A. 5%B. 10%C. 15%D. 20%27. In the text, the author mainly tells his experience of _______.A. earning a pay raiseB. refusing a job offerC. applying for a new positionD. making decisions in the workplaceCHortonAt first glance, there is little in Horton to attract people. The other nearby towns have much more to offer: Bradfield has its river and historic buildings, while Newtown has shops and entertainment. The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved. For shops, there is a small supermarket, a few bargain shops, a bakery which, strangely, does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad-looking flowers. Even so, Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.Firstly, it has a country park. Four thousand years ago, this was an important fort. There are no historic remains here now, but there are wonderful views over the countryside. On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents, kicking balls or flying kites.There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton, and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast, but there are excellent rail links. You can be in London in an hour and a half, and other cities are less than an hour away. That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families. Houses in Horton aren’t pretty, but they’re functional and cheap. The streets are quiet and safe, and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds. It has a library, th ree primary schools and a secondary school, St. Mark’s. It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds. The town also has a swimming and a sports center, and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.28. What is the writer’s main purpose?A. To explain what tourists can do in Horton.B. To explain why Horton is a good place to live in.C. To explain why Horton is not as pleasant as other towns.D. To describe the history of Horton.29. Which part of Horton does the writer find disappointing?A. the shopsB. country parkC. transport linksD. the schools30. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Horton?A. plenty of parks and playgroundsB. historical buildingsC. the quiet and safe streetsD. functional and cheap houses31. What advantages does Horton bring to workers?A. There are plenty of jobs available in the town.B. You can drive to nearby cities in a short time.C. You can get to several cities quickly by train.D. Working conditions are better here than in other towns.DAccording to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (适度地) happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” D unn said in a statement.Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations (分配) --as little as $5--may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.32. According to the passage, ________.A. the more money you spend on others, the happier you areB. spending money on others can bring you happinessC. Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business SchoolD. six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment33. The 16 employees mentioned in the passage _________.A. were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonusB. had more happiness than the size of the bonus itselfC. experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonusD. felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities34. Dunn’s stateme nt suggested that ________.A. those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earnedB. those who spent more money on themselves felt happierC. people thought spending money could make themselves happierD. the money spent was as important as the money earned35. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Experiment on Money SpendingB. Devoting Your Money to CharitiesC. Spending Money on Others Makes One HappierD.

AThere was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds. She took them home and put them in a small cage, caring them with love. Luckily, the birds grew strong little by little. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. So as he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go weak, so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. It was her desperate love that had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his strong desire—needing to fly into the clear, blue sky. Unwillingly, she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times.The girl watched delightedly at the bird. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.Remember, the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight; the best way to keep love is to give it wings!21. After the girl found the two birds, she ________.A. became frightened at onceB. began to treat them badlyC. greeted them happilyD. fed them and raised them22. Why did the girl grasp the stronger bird wildly?A. Because the girl disliked the bird any longerB. Because the bird wanted to fly alone.C. Because the girl loved the bird deeply.D. Because the bird intended to find some food.23. What can we learn from the passage?A. Catch what you can catch on your way to success.B. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.D. East or west, home is best.BConsidering Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modem, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back” , a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, it is no longer dominant (主宰的). Much of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a modest sense of humor.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a “mixture of nations” and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.24. What does the writer mean by saying “has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert” in the second paragraph?A. The major population has a close relationship with the desert.B. The fast-paced cities are just located by the desert.C. The major population knows little about the desert.D. The major population is familiar with the people living in the desert.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country.B. One third of people living in Australia come from Europe.C. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.D. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.26. What used to be Australia’ s main money earner?A. Wheat.B. Wool.C. Tourism.D. Diamond.27. We can infer from the passage that ________.A . immigrants from Europe have brought racial problemsB . nothing about Australia’s colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitorsC . tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities onlyD. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigr ants from Southeast AsiaCBritish singer Sarah Brightman began training for a 2015 flight to the International Space Station where she hopes to become the first professional musician to sing from space, the company arranging the trip said on Tuesday.Brightman, a famed soprano (女高音) who starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” , will pay about $ 52 million for a 10-day stay aboard the orbital outpost, Tom Shelley, president of privately owned Space Adventures, said. Brightman, who will become the eighth privately funded space tourist, is scheduled to fly in September 2015. Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule began last fall.Brightman has planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space. But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who, according to media reports late last year, intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branso’s Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital (亚轨道的) space flights.Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans haven’t been confirmed until now. So far. Space Adventures has arranged for nine private missions to the space station, a $ 100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above the earth. Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi made two trips. Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirquedu Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $ 35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009.Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an option to fly on the next available Soyuz seat after Brightman, which most likely will be in 2017, Shelley told Reuters.28. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To praise Brightman.B. To persuade the readers that Brightman is more famous than Lady Gaga.C. To instruct the readers how to begin a space flight.D. To give some information about Brightman.29. When did Brightman start training for her space travel?A. Last winter.B. Last autumn.C. Next spring.D. Next summer.30. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. BrightmanB. Lady GagaC. Andrew Lloyd WebberD. Tom Shelley31. The fifth paragraph is mainly carried out ________.A. in time orderB. in space orderC. by giving examplesD. by comparisonDSome kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to attest that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who were trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE—short for Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most were studied when they were more than 70 years old.The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing—speed of receiving and understanding information.A fourth group—the control group did not get any training.Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, leading study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of- processing did better on tests than the control group.“We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that’s exactly what we found.”The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.32. Which statement is false according to the text?A. This kind of training can only have effects on people for a few years.B. The people were trained during a period of ten years.C. Most of the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.D. The first group were trained how to remember word lists.33. How would the old in the second group perform after receiving the training?A. Remember more words.B. Understand information more quickly.C. Act as poorly as before.D. Perform daily activities better.34. What does the underlined word “attest” in the first paragraph mean?A. Affect.B. Deny.C. Prove.D. Improve.35. Which of the following can be the best tide for the passage?A. Some Kinds of Mental Skills Naturally Decrease.B. Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years.C. Four Groups of Old People Were Trained Mentally.D. A Ten-year Research Affects Elderly.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人空白处的最佳选项。

2015-2016学年上期高三英语周周练八(三一三二班做)第I卷第一部分听力(略)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)AThere is no question that teenagers need rules, which is often not a difficult thing for parents to give. What can be more challenging is giving teenagers their freedom. It can be difficult to draw the line between the two. However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules. For instance, rules should be established concerning driving the family car.I will admit that I have no problem coming up with rules. To me they make life easier and they leave no room for questioning. What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom. I guess there are really two primary reasons for this. One is that sometimes I am afraid to give them freedom. The second is that I'm not always so sure what the freedom should be.It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these problems. We talk about them, give our thoughts and then we come up with an agreement. Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we know that there comes a time when we really do have to learn how to let go of the reins (缰绳) a bit.If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teen's rebelling (反抗).They need to know that while we do have certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own choices and decisions. How else can they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?It's really all about balance and I will be the first to admit that it can be a challenge to carry out. However, it is a necessary part of growing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they also need freedom.21.According to the first paragraph, it is difficult to decide________.A.whether the children need rulesB.whether the children should be given freedomC.how much freedom should be given to childrenD.what issues require nonnegotiable rules22.According to the writer, only rules without freedom will make the children________.A.strongwilled B.rebellious C.weak D.independent23.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.Rules are difficult to make for parents.B.Rules and freedom are similarly important.C.We should give children freedom as much as possible.D.Rules are more important than freedom.24.What does the underlined wor d “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A.Problems. B.Children. C.Rules. D.Reasons.BA man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,”she offered.“Each of us will write a list of the things that2015-2016学年上期高三英语周周练七(31,32班)第1 页共7 页we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I'll start,”offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband.“Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists,”she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list.I think that you are perfect.I don't want you to change anything for me.You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed.We don't really have to go looking for them.We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?25.Why were there tears in the husband's eyes when the wife read his annoyances?A.Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.B.Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife's eyes. C.Because he was sorry that he didn't find any annoyance about his wife.D.Because he didn't think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.26.After hearing the husband's words, the wife felt________.A.moved and ashamed B.sad and disappointedC.satisfied and proud D.surprised and confused27.The story is intended to tell us that________.A.disappointment cannot be avoided in our lifeB.young couples should be more tolerant to each otherC.we should turn a blind eye to other people's blameD.we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around usCAnacondaThis South American creature appears in films or your nightmares.They have weighed over 230 kilograms.It is often regarded as the biggest snake in the world.It is clearly a totally different brand of snake type as it coils (缠绕) all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies.Its jaws are powered by muscle tissue that produces enough power for its more than 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of a crocodile.They don't have poison.Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so that they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when someone approaches.Poisonous FrogThe Golden Poison Frog is protected by means of a strong poison.This very small frog, less than 55 mm in length,has enough poison to take down a couple of African Bull Elephants.This frog has been known to be a killer of men and women who've touched it.It is also confirmed that dogs have died by contacting a tissue on which a Golden Poison Frog had wandered! While the Golden Poison Frog might be the most harmful South American animal, it also has poison frog neighborhood friends.In intense colors, they2015-2016学年上期高三英语周周练七(31,32班)第2 页共7 页absolutely look appealing to capture and touch, but humans should stay far away from them.PiranhaDespite the fact that only a small number of many kinds of piranhas are thought to be dangerous to humans, the red-bellied piranha is one of those.The myths show that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones.Piranhas live in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly.It is reported that they are only dangerous to human beings if the water of the river becomes less or they are short of food.Take good care, though, in entering the waters.The piranha in reality is one of the most dangerous animals.28.The underlined word “camouflage”in Paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to “________”.A.move about to find food B.eat all kinds of animalsC make loud noise to threaten othersD hide itself by using the environment29.The author mentioned the death of the dogs in Paragraph 2 to show that________.A.the poison of the Golden Poison Frog is deadlyB.it had nothing to do with the Golden Poison FrogC.no animals can survive the poison of the Golden Poison FrogD.animals should keep away from the Golden Poison Frog30.On what conditions are piranhas dangerous to humans according to the passage?①When they cross the river.②When they are short of food.③When they go out of the freshwater streams.④When their living conditions become bad.A.①②B.③④C.②④D.①④31.What is the best title for the passage?A.Three of the most deadly animals in South America.B.An introduction to dangerous animals in the world.C.Tips on living in harmony with animals.D.Cautions for tourists who go to South America.DTo the Editor,Re Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold (Sunday Review,Nov.6):I first met Lindsay Lohan in 1997 when she was 11 and I was the casting director (挑选演员的人) of the film The Parent Trap.I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of her.She was,and remains, a gifted actress and a good human being.It is not for me to judge Ms Lohan's choices, or whether fame has been less than kind to her, but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen, with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them, to record her efforts and failures.She is a sentient (能感知事物的) human being, not a thing, not a product, not anything else to be sold.Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy, in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the Internet, to gossip about, and give nearly complete access to, celebrity or famous persons' lives.Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone.Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior disappoints us.I find it ironic (讽刺的) that Ms Lohan's decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable, while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.2015-2016学年上期高三英语周周练七(31,32班)第3 页共7 页Perhaps when reporting on and reading about famous people who have lost their way, we will remember that those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes, endure misfortune and have a chance—in spite of media coverage—to begin a completely new life tomorrow.ILENE STARGER Brooklyn32.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.Lindsay Lohan became an actress at the age of 11.B.Lindsay Lohan is generally a good person.C.Lindsay Lohan used to be a good woman.D.Lindsay Lohan once starred in The Parent Trap.33.This letter was written mainly to tell the editor that________.A.the public should bear famous people's mistakesB.the public should be especially strict with famous peopleC.the media shouldn't only satisfy the public's demandsD.nobody can get both wealth and fame at the same time34.What can we infer from the passage?A.Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold was not received well by the public.B Charles McGrath believes wealth and fame can't give a perfect life to anyone.C.Many people as well as the media show much mercy to Lindsay Lohan.

Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker — all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.“It was always school first,” Diana said, “My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful, she had the education and she had everything — but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mother's health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful.”Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the city's foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes.Despite Diana's hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August 2010, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has parttime jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning D|S7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays D|S236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost.“I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, ‘Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run?’” Diana said, “ ‘Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? You're wasting precious time.’ It is a message my mother would approve of. My mom taught me that everything is not given to you. You have to go out and get it.”5.Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez?A.Learned, independent and strict.B.Positive, simple and graceful.C.Hardworking, dependent and tough.D.Kind, determined and lonely.6.How did Diana grow up after her mother passed away?A.She was provided for by a law institute.B.She depended on foster care system.C.She relied upon the people like her.D.She supported herself by doing parttime work.7.What made Diana go on with her education despite there are so many difficulties?A.The sense of loss from her mother's death.B.The eagerness to achieve success.C.The deep influence of her mother's values.D.The wish to win prizes to please her mother.8.With provided tuition, Diana still works after school because she knows ________.A.success comes with her own struggle and effortsB.rich experience helps her find better jobsC.her tuition will be increased sharplyD.nobody is perfect in the worldⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·哈尔滨三中第一次模拟考试)On PunctualityA punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 1.________ There is a proverb that says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 2.________Time is more valuable than material things.

So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies, spiders, and even small frogs.What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state .In fact, they're found on every continent except Antarctica.You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap.It's often sold in museum gift stores, department st ores, and even supermarkets.A small plant, it grows 6to 8inches tall in a container.At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps.Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (触发) hairs.When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shuts.Over the course of a w eek or so, the plant feeds on its catch.The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous (食肉的) Plant Society's Newsletter.Note: Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.Dr.Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: "attract, kill, digest, and absorb"some form of i nsects, including flies, butterflies, and moths.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well, most of the time.All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用).Plants use the sugar to make food.What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves.They need insects for one reason: nitrogen (氮).Nitrogen is a nutrient th at they can't obtain any other way.While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil, "meat-eating"plants can't.They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity.So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants.Never fertilize them!But don't worry, either, if they never seem to catch any i nsects.They can survive, but they'll grow very slowly.(1)According to the passage,carnivorous plants________.A only grow in wild field .B cannot grow on Antarctica.C are as common as flies.D are rare to see.(2)Venus'flytrap preys on insects by________.A its numerous long and thin stalks.B a container where it grows.C the lining of tiny trigger hairs.D its insect-catching leaves.(3)We can conclude from the third paragraph that________.A carnivorous plants are dangerous.B carnivorous plants are harmless to humans.C carnivorous plants occasionally eat books.D carnivorous plants are fictional.(4)In the eyes of the author,which of the following statements is TRUE?________A Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil. B Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil. C Carnivorous plants wil l die if they cannot catch any insects. D Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrie nt-rich soil.13. In a class this past December, after I wrote some directions on the board for students a bout their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone.When I looked in her direction, she apologized, "Sorry.Was it wrong to take a picture? ""I can't read my own handwriting, "the young woman explained."It's best if I take a pictur e of your writing so I can understand the notes."That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes.For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwrit ing.Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store m aterial.They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn't lose their phones.Some to ok photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board.Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussi on attentively.Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant q uestions for the classroom.Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than mere ly recording necessary information-it helps prepare the way for understanding.Encouraging students to take notes may be an o ld-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesn't mean it 's out of date.Writing things down engages a student's brain in listening, visual, and kinesth etic(触觉的) learning-a view supported by a longstanding research.The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory, and to process and combine it, establishing theb uilding blocks of learning new concepts.Taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs.So can the two be equally effective?(1)The woman apologized in the class because she________.A took a picture of the board.B missed the teachers'directions.C had the bad ha ndwriting.D disturbed other students'learning.(2)According to the passage,which of the following may NOT explain students'unwillingness to take notes?________A They believe smart phones are much safer for storing notes.B They want to listen m ore attentively in class.C They lack proper techniques for taking notes.D They w ant to have the exact version of the notes on the board.(3)According to the passage,taking notes by hand________.A requires students to think independently.B seems unsuitable for students to learn n ew ideas.C proves to be an old and useless learning method.D helps students act ively participate in learning.(4)What is the main idea of this passage?________A The traditional way of note-taking should be replaced.B Note-taking by hand is not out of date. C A modern way of note-taking is catching on. D A picture is worth a thousand words.14. The family does not feature heavily in the culture of the Ik of Northern Uganda.In fact, as far as the Ik are concerned, the family means very little.This is because the Ik face a dail y struggle to survive in the face of drought, famine and starvation.Anyone who cannot take care of himself or herself is regarded as a useless burden by the Ik and a threat to the surviva l of the others.So the old are abandoned to die.Sick and disabled children too are abando ned.The Ik attitude is that, as long as you keep the breeding group alive, you can always get more children.Ik mothers throw their children out of the village compound when they are 3years old, to d efend for themselves.I imagine children must be rather relieved to be thrown out, for in the process of being cared for, he or she is reluctantly carried about in a hide sling(背婴儿带) wherever the mother goes.Whenever the mother is in her field, she loosens the sling a nd lets the baby to the ground none too slowly, and laughs if it is hurt.Then she goes about her business, leaving the child there, almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off.This sometimes happens.Such behaviour does not endear children to their parents or parents to their children.Many of you probably reacted to the Ik with some horror and shock.It is very tempting to conclude that these people are primitive, savage and inhuman, and that their concept of the‘f amily'is deeply wrong.However, sociologists argue that it is wrong to simply judge such soc ieties and their family arrangements as unnatural and untypical.We need to understand that such arrangements may have positive functions.In the case of the Ik, with the exceptional circumstances they find themselves in-drought and famine-their family arrangements help ensure the survival of the tribe.Moreover, some of you may have concluded that British family life and the Ik have some thi ngs in common.British family is not universally experienced as positive for all family memb ers.For some members of our own society-for young and old alike-family life may be characterized by violence, abuse and isolation.The problem with studying the family is that we all think we are experts.This is not surpr ising, considering that most of us are born in families and socialized into family roles and res ponsibilities.It is an institution most of us feel very comfortable with and regard as‘natural'.For many of us, it is a cornerstone of our social world, a place to which we can retreat and t ake refuge from the stresses of the outside world.It is the place in which we are loved for w ho we are, rather than what we are.Family living and family events are probably the most i mportant aspects of our lives.It is no wonder that we tend to hold very fierce, emotional, an d perhaps irrational views about family life and how it ought to be organized.Such‘taken for granted'views make it very difficult for us to objectively examine family arrangements that differ from our own experience-such as those of the Ik-without making critical judgments.(1)Which of the following ideas do the Ik hold according to the passage?________A The survival of the tribe is what they should strive for.B The old are the luxuries they should treasure. C Their children should be abandoned when born. D The family is the centre of their life.(2)Which of the following will the author probably agree with in the case of Ik?________A Mothers prefer to carry their children here and there.B The children are a great bur den to their family.C The children enjoy warm relationship with their parents.D Many children should be left at the mercy of fierce animals in the field.(3)According to the author,both British family life and that of the Ik________.A endear family membersB.
