2017年北京六城区（海淀、西城、东城、朝阳、石景山、丰台）高三英语一模阅读A篇专项练习海淀：AI am Henry Jekyll.I was born in the1800s.I inherited(继承)a large fortune,a healthy body and an excellent mind.I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job.So the outside world saw a serious,hard-working,successful doctor.Behind this quiet character, however,was a wild,fun-loving,irresponsible young man.Both of them were me.They lived together in the same body.“Was it possible,”I wondered,“to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer.I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory,searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug.At last I got everything ready.Late one night,I mixed everything together and prepared my drug.I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green.Then,bravely,I drank every bitter drop.I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones.The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear.Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange,sweet feeling took its place.Wild thoughts danced through my mind—the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger.But inside myself I felt younger,lighter,more carefree than ever before.“If this is pure evil,”I thought,“I like it.”I stood there,enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter.So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there.As I came into my room,I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.At that time,the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side.Henry Jekyll had his faults,but he was mostly a good,kind man.I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll.But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind,open,honest face.But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes.I felt no dislike,however.Indeed,I welcomed him.Edward Hyde was me,young and strong and full of life.56.In others’eyes,the writer was______.A.wild and successfulB.fun-loving and responsibleC.quiet and irresponsibleD.serious and hard-working57.The writer wanted to find a drug to______.A.discover the right mixture of chemicalsB.create separate bodies for both sidesC.observe the change of the chemicalsD.make himself smaller but stronger58.From the passage we can learn that the writer______.A.felt quite delighted right after taking the drugB.preferred kind Henry to pure evil EdwardC.was very sick of the shorter Edward HydeD.was satisfied with both of his bodies西城AAll Summer Camp ProgramsLlandovery,Wales,UKLanguage and Music for Life(LMFL)—Founded in1997,Language and Music for Life offers unique2-week summer music and language courses.LMFL provides quality one-to-one training in a wide range of instruments&voice tuition to highly-motivated musicians of all ages.Study programs&classes include:2weeks with Musical Masterclasses:Composition,Violin, Piano,Recorder,Guitar,Classical Singing...Saint-Raphael,FranceFrance Langue&Culture(FLC)—Experience a fun,educational language holiday for all the family thissummer!FLC is the most family-friendly languageschool providing French summer classes for teens&young children.Study programs&classes include:1-4Week Sessions•Children’s Summer Camps for ages4-12•Courses for teenagers ages13-17,with homestay accommodation by French host families.Quebec City,Quebec,CanadaEdu-Inter Summer Language School(EI)—EI offerssummer French programs for children&teenagers(ages10-17)and adults(16+).Quebec City is the only majorcity in Canada that offers a100%French-speaking environment,making it the ideal location for learning and practicing French.Study programs&classes include:2weeks’Summer French Programs:For Children& Teenagers(ages10-17)•French&Cooking•French&Dance•French&Horse Riding•French&Music...Cambridge,England,UKReach Cambridge-Academic Camps(RC)—RC offers UK&international high school students the opportunity to gain aninvaluable academic experience through a summer course in one ofthe top educational facilities in the world.We provide unique and academic programs for students ages14-18.Study programs&classes include:2&3-week Summer Camps•Chemistry&Medical Sciences•Computer Science&Math•Economics•ESL•History&Politics•Law...56.Why is Quebec the ideal location for learning and practicing French?A.It offers summer French programs.B.It is the only major city in Canada.C.It has a Summer French Language School.D.It has a100%French-speaking environment.57.If a boy is18and loves computer science,which summer camp suits him best?A.LMFL.B.FLC.

Hundreds of volunteers responded,including William Chester Minor.Dr.Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as “Broadmoor,Crowthorne,Berkshire,”50miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17years,he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations,he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in1897,Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived,he found Minor locked in a book-lined room at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院）for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends,sharing their love of words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than10,000submissions in20years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly,sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In1910,Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in1920,seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.The12volumes defined414,825words,and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.56.According to the text,the first Oxford English Dictionary________．A.came out before Minor diedB.was edited by an American volunteerC.included the English words invented by MurrayD.was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary57.How did Dr.Minor contribute to the dictionary?A.He went to England to work with Murray.B.He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.C.He sent newspapers,magazines and books to Murray.D.He provided a great number of words and quotations.58.Why did Dr.Minor refuse to visit Oxford?A.He was busy writing a book.B.He lived far from Oxford.C.He was shut in an asylum.D.He disliked traveling.59.Prof.Murray and Dr.Minor became friends mainly because________．A.they both served in the Civil WarB.they had a common interest in wordsC.Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD.Murray went to America regularly to visit MinorATo Whom It May Concern:On August27,2016,I ordered a Skunk Scooterfrom your website.I was very excited when it arrivedbecause I bought it with money I saved from doingodd jobs over summer.Unfortunately,I haveexperienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter.First of all,the front wheel shakes from side to side,making the scooter difficult to ride.And also,it makes a horrible sound.The sound is louder and more annoying than a roaring engine.My dad and I had to tighten the screws (螺丝).However,it did not help.The wheel continues to shake.The scooter is faulty and cannot be repaired.In addition,I cannot adjust the handlebars.According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty-six inches.This does not seem to be true.The handlebars are set at thirty inches,and they cannot be raised or lowered.It appears that the knob that is used to adjust the height is jammed into the handlebars,which makes it impossible to turn in either direction.Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as“the quickest,slickest scooter on the planet,”my purchase was an exception.Since your website promises to accept returns,I want my money back.I have sent you a copy of my receipt.Please let me know how I should ship the scooter back to your company.I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore,I would like to thank you in advance.My money can be mailed to me at3260N.Main Street,Clarks,TN37040.Sincerely，Natasha Greene56.Natasha bought her scooter________.A.on a websiteB.at a supermarketC.in a second-hand storeD.from a scooter factory57.According to Natasha,the scooter_________.A.loses its front wheelB.makes a loud noiseC.has no handlebarsD.runs too slowly58.Natasha felt_________about her purchase.A.nervousB.pleasedC.disappointedD.excited59.Natasha wrote this letter to_________.A.buy a new scooterB.get her money backC.advertise the scooterD.ask how to use the scooter海淀：56.D57.B58.D西城：56.D57.D58.B东城：56.A57.B58.D59．C 朝阳：56.B57.D58.B石景山：56.D57.D58.C59.B 丰台：56.A57.B58.C59.B。
