ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do－it－yourself, father－and－son adventure，” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30，000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2，000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)．”21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________．A．collecting money on the InternetB．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________．A．cheap and commonB．strange and valuableC．personal and lovelyD．basic and solid24．What's the best title for the text?A．A DIY Enthusiast B．A Helping HandC．A Great Adventure D．A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25．Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________．A．sad B．surprisedC．nervous D．disappointed26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A．He should try to find its owner.B．He could wear it for Halloween.C．He should return it to West Point.D．He could send it to others for free.27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________．A．the jacket was made thereB．the jacket's owner worked thereC．the workers there needed the jacketD．the jacket might be collected by the museum28．According to the text, Kim McDermott ________．A．happened to be the owner of the jacketB．was a student graduating from West PointC．could find a record of the graduatesD．was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson，” said Mr.Smith，“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry，—but you'll have to go.” “But，sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that！” said the boss.“Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know，sir.But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then，suddenly，he said，“We've got to close your department，Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out，with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read：I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人)．But don't worry about me，Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son，Herbie 29．Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________．A．Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB．Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC．Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD．Watson's department didn't earn money that year30．We can learn from the text that ________．A．Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB．Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC．Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD．Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31．According to the text，which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for t hese kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide.

How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrion, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’squality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of thesweet ice cream —as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No —there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree inchemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someonewanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He letsthe ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy —working at one cool job.66. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.67. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day68.

The purpose of the passage is to promote audience rating.(C)The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again.In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers,a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made ofcardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHab andtaken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards.They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.74. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief75. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City’s administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect76. It is implied in the passage that _______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.77. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivalsSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)The term "smog" was first used in London during the early 1900's to describe the combination of smoke and fog. What we typically call " smog" today is a mixture of pollutants but is primarily made up of ground-level ozone (臭氧) .Ozone can be beneficial or harmful depending on where it stays. The ozone staying high above the Earth protects human health and the environment, but ground-level ozone is responsible for the choking, coughing, and painful eyes associated with smog. The ozone in smog also prevents plants growth and can cause widespread damage to crops and forest.Major smog occurrences often are linked to heavy motor vehicle traffic, high temperatures, sunshine, and calm winds. Weather and geography affect the position and severity of smog. Because temperature regulates the length of time it takes for smog to form, smog can form faster and be more severe on a hot and sunny day. When warm air stays near the ground instead of rising and winds are calm, smog may stay trapped over your city for days. As traffic and other sources add more pollutants to the air, the smog gets worse. Smog is often more severe away from the pollution sources because the chemical reactions that cause smog occur in the atmosphere while the reacting chemicals are being moved by the wind.Smog is a visible example of air pollution. You can look into the distance during the day to see how much smog there is in the air. In addition, most cities measure the concentrations of pollutants in the air and report the results to the public.Environmental Protection Agency sets national standards for pollutants. Areas that fail to meet the standards for at least one air pollutant are called "nonattainment (不达标) areas. “New measures are being taken by local governments across the country to reduce air pollution in nonattainment areas. These include: banning charcoal barbecues and wood burning in stoves or fireplaces when pollution levels are high; developing programs to encourage carpooling and voluntary "ozone actions" ; limiting traffic in overcrowded areas; expanding or improving public transportation systems; requiring employers to contribute to employee public transportation costs; assessing "smog fees" on cars according to the number of miles driven and vehicle emissions(排放) produced; and even buying and breaking up older " super-dirty" cars.78. According to the passage, ground-level ozone can ___________________________.79. When ____________________________________________, smog is more severe away from the pollution source.80.

Sometimes it can be difficult to homeschool（进行家庭教育）on your own. That's why it's 1 to connect or have a support group that will help you succeed in homeschooling.The first step is to find a(n) 2 that has similar goals and ideas as you. Maybe they homeschool in the same way, use the same curriculum or have the same ages of students.It's important to make sure that you decide what you're looking for out of a support group and then you can go and 3 for it using the Internet or local organization. Do you want your group to just support homeschool families and parents or do you 4 want to hold classes? Are you organizing around a 5 event like field trips, a topic, or classes themselves?If your homeschool support group is just for parents, consider advertising 6 . Getting together a group of homeschooling parents can really help you to 7 ideas that will help improve your homeschool program and can help you succeed in the long run. If you're going to include 8 in your support group, make sure to organize them by 9 level so they're with other students of the same age.If you want to include classes as a part of your homeschool group, you need to decide what type of 10 you'll offer, enrichment, art, athletic, or even core curriculum. Identify a teacher early on and a leader. You don't want to be the 11 leader in your homeschool group. You want to find people that you can trust to 12 alongside you.Communication is the key.

难度：★★★★☆建议用时：30分钟得分：2022年新高考II卷之B篇We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, sinceI have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story fora video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.4. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?A. Provided shelter for me.B. Became very clear to me.C. Took the pressure off me.D. Worked quite well on me.5. Why did the kid poke the storybook?A. He took it for a tablet computer.B. He disliked the colorful pictures.C. He was angry with his grandpa.D. He wanted to read it by himself.6. What does the author think of himself?A. Socially ambitious.B. Physically attractive.C. Financially independent.D. Digitally competent.7. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?A. He lacks experience in his job.B. He seldom appears on television.C. He manages a video department.D. He often interviews internet stars.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

2016届高考英语冲刺模拟卷(三)

2016高考冲刺模拟卷(三)(时间:120分钟满分:150分)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)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。

( A )The Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna,our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America.You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.The cost of your flight is included in the holiday,and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus.On your arriving,our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel.All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront,and many rooms have wonderful ocean views.If swimming and surfing are not enough for you,the hotel also offers horse rides on the island,and a discount membership of the golf club.The Rain Forest Adventure HolidayEvery year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.You may have a choice of Borneo,Malaysia,Indonesia,or even to the greatest rain forest of them all,the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest,where you will be given five days of survival training,and talks on the local wildlife.Then you take a bus into the forest.You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology.All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children.Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time,so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays,you will need to book early!21.What can we learn about the rain forest holiday?( )A.Travelers will learn to talk with wild animals.B.Different means of transportation will be used.C.The holiday will end with a survival training.D.Booking early,travelers will get a discount.22.What kind of people will probably choose the rain forest holiday?( )A.People loving water sports.B.People travelling with children.C.People preferring comfortable hotels.D.People concerned with environment and wildlife.23.Which of the following is mentioned in both holidays?( )A.Transportation.B.Price.C.Reservation.D.Departure time.( B )Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born either smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say,“Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy.The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment,with other animals and toys to play with,were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.24.What’s the main idea of the passage?( )A.Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is.B.A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle.C.Both muscles and the brain are important to humans.D.Intelligence exists in both humans and animals.25.By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to prove that .A.exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB.exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC.everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD.everyone should learn as many new things as possible26.Like stronger muscles come from exercise,smarter brains need .A.to be well taken care ofB.a good communication between personsC.help from scientistsD.our learning new things27.What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean?( )A.Strong.B.Smart.C.Lovely.D.Active.( C )Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer.It was the most difficult time I have ever faced.I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全).Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗),I lost all of my hair,being bald as a golf ball.I always had enjoyed wearing hats,so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached.It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.I have always been a big golf fan.At one point during my cancer treatments,my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and took a trip toScottsdale,Arizona.There was a Senior PGA Tour event called “The Tradition” being played,and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd.It was a beautiful day,and I was in heaven.I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区):Jack Nicklaus,Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.Just as they arrived at the tee,the unimaginable happened.A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway(平坦球道)!The thousands of people lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence,all eyes on me.Even my three favorite golfers were watching me,as my hair was in their flight path.I was ashamed! Embarrassed as I was,I knew I couldn’t just stand there.Someone had to do something to get things moving again.So I took a deep breath and out into the middle of the fairway.I took hold of my hat and hair,put them back on my head as best I could.Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced,“Gentlemen,the wind is blowing from left to right.”They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.28.What made the author remain mentally healthy even in her illness?( )A.The Tradition.B.The treatment.C.Her family.D.Her humor.29.The underlined phrase in Para.3 “in heaven” probably means “”.A.scaredB.embarrassedC.puzzledD.excited30.Why did the author go into the fairway to pick up her hat and hair?( )A.To amuse the golfers.B.To give a weather report.C.To have the game restarted.D.To draw others’ attention.31.We can know from the text that the author .A.was fond of wearing hatsB.was an excellent golferC.planned to live in ScottsdaleD.felt worried about her hair( D )Teens naturally ask parents for money for material things and entertainment.But as the need becomes more frequent,why not get a job so you can earn your own money? Working for your own money will give you a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a job well done.Babysitting is a suitable job for teens.They are best suited as a mother’s helper while the mother is working in another part of the house.Babysitting is not a job for girls alone.Boy babysitters are popular with families of boys.Parents rely on friends and neighbors’recommendations.Word of mouth is your best form of advertising.Pet-sitting involves caring for people’s pets while the owners are on vacation or away for the day.A pet-sitter will be responsible for giving fresh food and water,walking dogs and cleaning out cat litter boxes.Although the pet-sitter does not spend the night,he is there often enough to bring in the mail,water plants and take the garbage out.Create a flyer with your name,prices and references,and pass it out to the families in your neighborhood.Yard work can be a seasonal job.Spring cleanup is needed for flower beds and preparing the yard for summer.Summer is the busiest time for yard work with lawn mowing (割草坪),edging and trimming(修剪) bushes.Fall is the time for sweeping leaves and planting seeds for spring.If you live in a northern climate,there may be snow that needs shoveling.Odd jobs can mean a variety of things,including painting,washing the pet,weeding the garden,cleaning out the basement,or helping to serve dinner at a party.Doing odd jobs may be a good match for someone with a busy schedule.Most odd jobs only take a few hours to complete.For more information,please click here.32.What’s the main purpose of the text?( )A.To show teens how to find a full-time job.B.To encourage teens to help with housework.C.To tell teens ways to earn their own money.D.To ask people to provide jobs for teens.33.What can we learn about babysitting?( )A.Babysitting is the best job for teens.B.A babysitter is needed only when the mother is away.C.Parents prefer girl babysitters to boy babysitters.D.Friends or neighbors may be helpful to find a babysitting job.34.A pet-sitter is expected to do all the jobs except .A.feeding and walking a dogB.looking after the house at nightC.bringing in the mailD.taking the garbage out35.The text is most probably taken from a .A.job applicationB.popular magazineC.life websiteD.tourist guidebook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。

( A )When I first heard about geocaching (地理寻宝),I was skeptical.But the more I thought about it,the more it seemed like an interesting idea.I at least wanted totry it once.Having familiarized myself with how the game works,I set out in search of myfirst cache.My trip took me through a series of lively hutong (胡同),past a numberof small temples,and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel.I spent several minutes looking around,but couldn’t find anything.Just before I was about to give up,I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall.Could it be the hidden cache?At that moment a group of backpackers arrived.According to the game’s rules,people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secretcaches.So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave.When the coast was clear,I grabbed the object.It was the cache! I opened it and pulled outa crumpled (皱的) sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it.I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place,ready for the nextgeocacher to find.It may seem like a simple game,but the idea that there are caches hidden allaround us is exciting.Once you’re hooked,it’s easy to set yourself the goal offinding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city.The real treasure,however,is not the cache itself,but the places it takes you to.Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn’t even know existed.Some are peaceful parks,while others are forgotten historicalsites.A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving themany thought.Now,I feel a much closer connection.21.What was the author’s initial attitude to geocaching?( )A.He thought it interesting.B.He wanted to try it at once.C.He showed little interest in it.D.He found it unsuitable for him.22.Where did the author find the cache?( )A.In a hutong.B.In a temple.C.In a well.D.In a hotel.23.When a group of backpackers were approaching,the author .A.pretended to be cleaning the yardB.made a call to other geocachersC.didn’t allow them to come inD.tried to keep the cache secret24.In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?( )A.He has found much treasure.B.He’s more familiar with the city.C.He has made more friends.D.He has mastered hunting.( B )City College Union IncSecretary/TypistThe Union is a student-run organization with a permanent staff of 20.Typingspeed:at least 60 wpm.The ability to take shorthand dictation and a working knowledge of fillingprocedures are essential requirements.The basic salary for the position is $ 18,500 per year.Enquires to R.Barbar 387-5075.Emu AirlineSecretaryEmu Airline is now offering a part-time position for a secretary.The position offers at least 20 hours’ work a week, with a view to full-timework in the future.Monthly salary is about $ 1,400.Phone 899-3264 for an appointment.Word ProcessorOperator (full-time)We need an operator to work in an office associated with the building industry.Only experienced operators are expected to apply.。

2024年淄博市高三一模英语高考模拟试卷试题(含答案详解)

淄博市2023-2024学年度高三模拟考试英语2024年3月第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

AGood evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend’s car repair shop.He has been in business for3years and is fairly successful,but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours.While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties.The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media.I was floored that he had no social media presence,which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now,he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account,although it may not be worth much yet.We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest.He doesn’t want to do coupons(优惠券)or discounts or anything like that,and I understand why.His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area,and his overall costs are lower as well.This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook?My guess would be focusing on the value,but I’m not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such.However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing, but definitely open.1．What was scheduled first to promote business?A．Working out a weekly feature.B．Increasing chargeable hours. C．Establishing his presence online.D．Visiting his old school.2．How might they attract new clients?A．By raising labor rates.B．By offering discounts and coupons.C．By cutting overall costs.D．By highlighting the value of services. 3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To offer information.B．To seek advice.C．To show advantages.D．To find cooperation.BThere was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear.Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them,smelling the air,a dangerous sign.“That’s when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what’s important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot,Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away,whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn’t have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt,the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员)for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history.The project,consisting of roughly300scientists,led by scientist MarkusRex,has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades.For months,the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby,storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked.Then,when the Sun returned,the ice began to melt,creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission,Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger,like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks.They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter.And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home.Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn’t expect a career in polar regions,but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt iscertainly the champion in the field.”4．Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A．To show the threat of bears.B．To tell an interesting story.C．To introduce Mohaupt’s job.D．To describe the polar scenery.5．What can we know from paragraph3?A．The working conditions were tough.B．Mohaupt helped to collect massive data. C．The exploration went on in total darkness.D．Mohaupt’s duty was to protect polar bears. 6．Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A．Ambitious and brave.B．Passionate and dependent. C．Considerate and modest.D．Professional and responsible.7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B．A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers. C．A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D．A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.CChances are you’ve heard the phrase“like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue,too.It turns out,however,this age-old saying may not be quite right.Rather than being attracted to light,moths’tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground,insects need to know which way is up,says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,a National Geographic Explorer.Without systems to maintain spatial(空间的)orientation,the brightness of the sky,even at night,has always been a strong indicator of “up”——until artificial lights came along.If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First,the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test,they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases,insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb.But when the light was pointed up,the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area?The researchers stretched a large white sheetacross the tree and projected a UV light on it.If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light,they should fly up toward it.Instead,the insects cruised(巡航)straight through this illuminated corridor,flying how they would during the day.The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it,which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky.Directionality of light is a huge factor in the pattern we have seen,not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect’s sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity,which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi.8．What can be inferred about“like a moth to a flame”in the new study?A．A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B．Artificial lights are valuable for a moth. C．Brightness indicates up for a moth.D．A moth has a sense of direction. 9．What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph2mean?A．Crashing.B．Speeding.C．Freezing.D．Suspending. 10．What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A．UV lights on the tree.B．Upward-pointing lights. C．Downward-pointing lights.D．Lights of different colors.11．What is Sondhi’s attitude toward artificial lights?A．Concerned.B．Dismissive.C．Doubtful.D．Neutral.DWould you rather watch a new movie,or an old favorite?Would you rather try a dish you’ve never had at a restaurant,or stick with something you know you’ll like?Researchers studying the “mere exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn’t need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it.To test this, social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to25repetitions).Next,after reading the words, participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale (indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often,while words thatparticipants hadn’t read at all were rated more negatively,and words that had been read25times were rated highest.Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising.It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once.Of course, there’s a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn’t happen for things we initially dislike. Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(including pictures,sounds,foods, and smells)can be increased with repeated exposure,suggesting that the mere exposure effect isn’t limited to just one of our senses.Additionally,researchers have found that the me re exposure effect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures.In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but,if the repeated exposures continue,you could eventually get tired of it.12．What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc’s test?A．Frequency.B．Preference.C．Originality.D．Achievement. 13．Which of the following is an example of mere-exposure effect?A．We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B．A student joined in the club because of love.C．We are more convinced of what we met before.D．A student read as many English words as possible.14．What can we learn about“mere exposure effect”according to paragraph4?A．It is the result of advertising.B．It has nothing to do with animals.C．It is true of what we dislike at first.D．It can be applied to multiple senses. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．More love because of more exposures.B．The study on mere exposure effect. C．Better results from the earlier exposures.D．The application of mere exposure effect.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

2016届高考英语冲刺模拟卷(二)

2016高考冲刺模拟卷(二)(时间:120分钟满分:150分)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)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。

( A )The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries.The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw and deposit books.Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes.Some libraries also have themes,focusing on books for children,adults,or tour guides.In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother,who was a devoted reader.When he saw the people of his community gathering around it,exchanging conversations as well as books,he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further.“I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.Since then,his idea has become a movement,spreading from state to state and country to country.According to ,there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world,located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe,Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads.The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human.For many people,the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’main appeal.“A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading;a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,”says the Atlantic article.“Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”21.How do Little Free Libraries get their books?( )A.Citizens shared them.B.Tod Bol donated them. government provided them.D.The communities bought them.22.Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?( )A.He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.B.He was inspired by the sharing economy.C.They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.D.They are a gift to please his mother.23.Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that .A.they connect strangers togetherB.they are located all over the worldC.they are in various shapes and sizesD.they may give readers a sense of discovery( B )Primary Source Holiday Shopping Night at Ten Thousand Villages Brookline.●Shop for your holiday gifts and give back to Primary Source at Ten Thousand Villages on Friday,December 4! 15% of all sales from 3:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.that day will be donated to PrimarySource.Join us for light refreshments and enjoy beautiful handmade gifts from artisans around the world.All are welcome!Primary Source’ s Holiday Shopping NightFriday,December 43:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.Ten Thousand Villages226 Harvard Street,Brookline,Massachusetts (Coolidge Corner)Download our flyer and tell your friends!Ten Thousand Villages provides vital,fair income for the people from developing countries by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America.Learn more and preview toys,home decor,jewelry,and other gifts online.●Can’t join us on Dec.4?

pay $10 for a gift at GoodShop, in the end.A.7 dollars will go to GoodShopB.3 dollars will go to GoodShopC.7 dollars will go to Primary SourceD.10 dollars will go to schools in new England( C )The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat,sleep,work and entertain.To do all this,we use the earth’s resources.Because some of us have more buying power,they end up using more resources than they usually need.At the same time,we also create a great deal of waste and pollution.So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste.Then two things happen:first,large numbers of the world’s population get much less resources than they need to live;second,the earth is damaged.The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earth’s resources,the majority have to bear the consequences—like pollution.This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.Some years ago,a famous expert,called William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today,this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜).It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth goes out of shape,there is no hope for human beings.Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully,we will find that even within India,the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.28.Which of the following is the best title for this text?( )A.Footprints on the earthB.How to protect the earthC.Footprints of wild animalsD.How to reduce pollution on the earth29.Our footprints on the earth refer to .A.the cities we buildB.the cultures we createC.the marks we leave on roads behind usD.the resources we use and the waste we produce30.According to the text,rich people .A.should give more money to the poorB.are using too many resourcesC.are helping the poor to live better livesD.should live in rural areas with the poor31.We learn from the text that Rees .A.put forward the idea of the ecological footprintsB.thought highly of the United States and CanadaC.thought India was an extremely poor countryD.thought rich people made great contributions to society( D )Birds learn how to fly much like a human baby learns to walk:a combination of instinct (本能)and practice.Not all birds are instinctive flyers,however.Flightless birds,such as penguins and ostriches (鸵鸟),no longer have the instinct to imitate their cousins.The newborn of bird species that can fly,such as pigeons and hummingbirds,have a sense that it is a natural pare this to a human baby who instinctively understands that standing upright is a natural goal to achieve.Most birds cannot fly until their muscle structure has had time to develop.At that time,a nest is their entire world.Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or protection of their nest,so they develop psychological dependence.Parent birds begin to teach their baby birds the importance of flying by remaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding.If the young birds are to survive,they must step away from the nest.Frequently,this means a few hard falls to the ground followed by a long trip back to the safety of the nest.All practice,awkward as it may seem,does teach the baby birds about the mechanics of flight.Falls to the ground become more controlled as the young bird stretches out its wings,and short jumps back to the nest become longer flight.Parent birds continue to encourage them to leave the nest for longer periods of time.Some species even adopt a tough love policy,leaving the baby birds alone to develop their own instincts.After a few weeks of practice and imitation,young birds learn more advanced flying techniques:how to use the wind for lift and how to make controlled landings.Eventually,all of these become instinctive and young birds can start families of their own.For birds,flying is a demanding exercise.Fortunately,many birds have air sacs (气囊)that act as human lungs,and each breath a bird takes is much more concentrated than humans’breath.Birds also have very well-developed pectoral (胸部的)muscles for constant wing movement and a strong heart for endurance.Most birds are actually swimming through the air,using the weight of the air beneath them to keep themselves in the air.32.What birds and human babies have in common is that they .A.have to learn new things to surviveB.are born with some kind of instinctC.have many goals to achieveD.like to imitate their cousins as they grow33.Why do parent birds stay a short distance away from the nest during feeding?( )A.To let baby birds know flying is important.B.To make baby birds more independent.C.To develop baby birds’ muscle structure.D.To make baby birds become brave.34.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?( )A.Body structure that helps birds fly.B.The similarity between birds and humans.C.Difficulties birds might meet when they fly.D.The advantages birds have when they fly.35.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Practice makes perfectB.How do birds learn how to fly?C.Birds have an instinct for survivalD.Why do some birds adopt a tough love policy?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。
