2023届江苏省扬州市高三考前调研测试英语试题(含答案)
2023届江苏省扬州市高三考前调研测试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four Must-Eat Chicago SandwichesOn a hit list of Chicago’s must-eat dishes, you’ll find various meals on bread. Let’s take a look at four of them.Italian beef sandwichKnown around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938. Dozens of Italian beef joints now exist in Chicago area, including Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park and Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. The latter is popular among people who favor vegetable products.Italian subItalian subs exist all over the country with different names. Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. At J.P. Graziano, now managed by Graziano’s great-grandson Jim Graziano, the Italian sub features hot pork sausage, plus tomato, red wine vinegar, which adds a deeper, richer flavor.ReubenMade with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature.Chicago-style hot dogDating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients (原料). They include an all-beef frank, a steamed bread roll and a salad bar of toppings. As one of the city’s most popular spots for a Chicago dog, the family-owned roadside stand, Superdawg Drive-In, has served hot dogs since 1948. If you order a Chicago dog, the really critical detail is that you can’t see tomato source, which would ruin the perfect balance of the food.1．Among the four must-eat Chicago sandwiches, which one has the longest history? A．Italian beef sandwich.B．Italian sub.C．Reuben.D．Chicago-style hot dog.2．In which restaurant can you taste an award-winning sandwich?A．Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park.B．J.P. Graziano.C．Manny’s.D．Superdawg Drive-In.3．Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from?A．Transport.B．Health.C．Travel.D．Science.When humans are feeling lonely, we can call or video chat with friends and family who live far away. But, scientists asked, what about pet parrots? New research suggests that these chatty creatures may also benefit from virtually connecting with their peers.The idea for this study was not random: In the wild, parrots tend to live in large groups. But when kept in as pets, these social birds are often on their own. Feeling bored and lonely, they may develop psychological issues and can even turn to self-harming behaviours like pulling out their feathers.In the study, researchers wanted to see whether 18 pet parrots could learn to make and receive video calls when they needed to help reduce loneliness. In the initial stage, the birds learnt to ring a bell and then touch a photo of another bird on a tablet screen to start a call to that bird. Calls would only work when caregivers were able to assist at both ends. In the second stage, the parrots could choose to call other birds at their own will by ringing the bell then selecting the bird they wanted to call. During a two-month study period, owners said they recorded 147 deliberate calls between birds.“We saw some really encouraging results from the study,” said researchers. The parrots seemed to grasp that they were truly engaging with other birds onscreen and their behaviour often mirrored what we would expect from real-life interactions between these types of birds. “She came alive during the calls,” one pet owner said about her bird, according to a Northeastern University statement.The team has previously designed similar technology such as DogPhone, which allowed pet dogs to shake a ball to communicate with their owner. “The animal Internet is already here—there are hundreds of products on the market that let pet owners interact with their animals remotely over the net, but their design is primarily focused on what humans want, not what their pets need,” Hirskyj-Douglas from the University of Glasgow added.4．Why did researchers want to teach parrots to make video calls?A．To assess the effects of video calls on animals.B．To train parrots’ communication skills.C．To help get pet parrots out of bad moods.D．To improve the relationships between parrots.5．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The subjects of the experiment.B．The procedures of the experiment.C．Caregivers’ role in the experiment.D．The significance of the experiment.6．Why is a pet owner’s statement mentioned in the passage?A．To indicate video calls saved his parrot’s life.B．To show pet parrots like video calls very much.C．To show pet owners are satisfied with the study.D．To illustrate the study produced positive results.7．What is the difference between this study and previous ones?A．It uses the Internet technology.B．It enhances human-animal interaction. C．It satisfies pet owners’ needs.D．It focuses on animals’ needs.Benedict Morelli, one of New York’s top-rated lawyers, owns Morelli Law Firm, which has offices, lawyers, cases and experts all over the country. Benedict Morelli and his team of experienced lawyers are expert at handling a wide variety of cases, from auto and truck accidents, to construction injuries, to complex employment discrimination.One critical reason for their success is that unlike many firms, Morelli Law has the experience, patience, and resources to pursue all difficult cases. Since founding the firm, Mr. Morelli and his team have successfully dealt with an impressive list of outstanding cases in the industry. In fact, they have delivered more than a billion dollars on behalf of their clients. Impressive firm results include a $95 million settlement in a sexual discrimination case involving Aaron’s Inc., as well as a $62 million settlement for Mark Perez, a construction worker who fell from a roof and suffered a brain injury.When asked whether they would feel afraid when facing difficult opponents in court, “At my core, I’m a trial lawyer,” said Benedict Morelli. “Because of our experience and accomplishments in the courtroom, our opponents know that we’re prepared to pursue thebest result possible. Going to trial does not intimidate us.”The firm is devoted to realizing its clients’ goals both inside and outside of the courtroom. For example, in a drunk driving case, the firm worked with the client to strengthen New York laws that punish drunk drivers. This effort has made it easier for lawyers in New York to charge drunk drivers. Moreover, Mr. Moreli and his team are also committed to helping those who have been wronged achieve the justice they deserve, no matter the difficulty of the circumstances.Corporations are powerful actors in society and Mr. Morelli and his team feel fortunate to be in a position to provide the highest level of service to their clients.8．What contributes to Morelli Law Firm’s success?A．Talents, Strategies and funds.B．Attitude, passion and resolution.C．Experience, patience and resources.D．Management, devotion and knowledge.9．What does the underlined word “intimidate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Scare.B．Threaten.C．Benefit.D．Excite. 10．What can we learn about the company Morelli Law Firm?A．It has made more than a billion dollars from their clients.B．It focuses mainly on bringing justice to the wrongful cases.C．It aims to help clients obtain good outcomes in and out of court.D．It works with New York to pass laws on banning drinking alcohol.11．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Morelli Law Firm B．A top-rated lawyerC．Morelli and his cases D．Corporations in societyHospice (临终安养院) services benefit only about one person in three who dies in the US. “There are still over one million Americans who die each year without receiving hospice services,” according to a report produced in 2003. And for most who do get hospice care, their time in hospice is so short that staff members often lack the opportunity to provide the best care for their physical and emotional needs.There are several reasons that more patients do not go into hospice care earlier. One is that Medicare (医疗保险) doesn’t cover the cost of patients’ life-extending treatment if theyenter hospice. Medicare also requires that the doctor referring someone for hospice care must declare that the patient is expected to die within six months. As a result, some doctors hesitate about making an early referral to avoid being accused of cheating. Finally, there are simply not enough hospice centers and services available to meet the needs of dying patients throughout the country.Many patients still have some concern over how hospice works. The philosophy of hospice is to neither accelerate nor postpone death. As Dr. Matt Kestenbaum, a hospice director, put it: “We let nature take its course, and we give patients all the things they need to be comfortable.”Dying “naturally” in hospice does not deny patients the treatment for common diseases like blood clots. Hospice expenses are automatically covered by Medicare and most insurers provide hospice coverage as well.Choosing hospice care does not mean patients lose the services of their personal doctors. They can return to regular insurance benefits when they leave hospice care because their condition improves or they want a therapy the hospice does not provide.One thing bothering doctors is that patients will lose hope if they go into hospice. But the goal should be to refocus hope on what might be realistically achieved in the time remaining. A patient who enters hospice can have the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends and settle unfinished business.12．Why don’t many patients go to hospice earlier?A．Because patients have to stay in hospice for a long time.B．Because Medicare requirements aren’t in favor of hospice.C．Because doctors can’t predict how long patients will live.D．Because most hospice services are far away from patients.13．What is the aim of hospice services?A．To extend patients’ life.B．To ease patients’ sufferings.C．To reduce patients’ costs.D．To settle patients’ business. 14．What concern might patients have about entering hospice?A．They will lose treatment for common diseases.B．Hospice can’t provide the treatment they need.C．Doctors may give them unrealistic hope.D．They will be separated from their family.15．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．To criticize America’s Medicare system.B．To explain why hospice is unpopular.C．To introduce the way hospice works.D．To popularize hospice services.二、七选五Nowadays, many of us are finding ourselves tired out, struggling to build balance backprovide a range of benefits including reducing anxiety, easing mental tiredness and refreshing us. Here is some advice on how to take advantage of the healing power of water.___17___ You likely have some water close by, even if it is just a pond alongside the road. Start there.

Even virtual reality helps.Go often. A little bit makes a big difference. ___19___ But an environmental psychologist found that spending a similar amount of time near water has the same benefits. Even people who look into aquariums(水族箱) have lower heart rates and better moods after just 15 minutes.Listen. One of the most calming characteristics of water is its sound, typically steady and soft. The water sounds people find having the strongest healing power are rain in a rainforest, waves patting a beach, and a running stream.

How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.4. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.6. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.7. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.CCigarettes aren’t just harmful when they’re being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out,an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.“I was ly surprised,” since environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”To measure emissions (排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends weresealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.After setting the room’s temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days ata time, especially in the heat.8. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?A They contain little nicotine.B. They produce no nicotine five days later.C. They give off nicotine for days.D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.9. What do Poppendieck’s words suggest?A. First-hand smoking does most harm.B. The findings are within his expectation.C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.10. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?A. Unclear.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Puzzled.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful ChemicalsB. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being SmokedC. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends’ HarmD. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the HeatDChimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gesturesinclude stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”12. Chimps slap the objects to____________.A. tell others to stop what they are doingB. ask others chimps to join themC. gather other chimps to move closerD. encourage interactions to start13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.14. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By examining differences.C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and ChimpsC. Getting the Chimps Trained for LanguageD. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届江苏省扬州中学高三英语三模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2.

Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to dothis.’”she said.Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home. They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadn't finished school yet, ” Sanja said. “We are like sisters; we care about and trust each other. She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working, my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself. She agreed.Due to COVID -19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony.

By managing to become Edina's colleagueCBeing a teacher is a rewarding career when it comes to changing lives, but it’s obviously one that comes with plenty of stresses and difficulties too.Seeking help for a child who is so obviously in need isn’t easy. Often, you feel ignored by the government. You feel upset that there isn’t anything you could personally do to help a needy and sensitive member of your class.That’s exactly how Chelsea Haley, aged 24 at the time, felt when she met fourth-grade student Jerome Robinson while working for Teach forAmericainLouisianafor the first time.The pair didn’t get off to the best start, with Jerome, the “problem child”, almost drivingChelseafrom teaching. But whenChelseaput her foot down and became determined to work more closely with Jerome, she learned the cause of his rude behavior: a bad home situation.Chelseawas eager to help Jerome, and realized that he needed more than just academic support.By 2016, a year after meeting him, Chelsea had adopted (收养) Jerome and his brother Jace.Adopting a child doesn’t come cheap, andChelseaspent all the money in her bank to see the process through.In her first few years of raising the boys, she lived on credit cards and postponed her student loan.AsChelsealived with her two adopted sons, she worked hard to repay her debts. She took on extra tutoring jobs outside of school hours, moved in with her parents, and even delivered groceries for cash. Along the way, she was learning how to be the best mom to Jerome and Jace, cooking for them and cheering them on at football matches.And now, just five years later,Chelseacan proudly say that she has paid off nearly $50, 000 of debt. Now that she’s finally out of debt,Chelseahas plans to buy a house and save up for the boys’ college education.“It allows me to focus on the boys’ future,” she said. “Saving money for them, and not spending it on my past.”8.

Lucky and lovely.B. Sensitive and ambitious.C. Selfless and determined.D. Warmhearted and strict.DWhile space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important indeveloping a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.12. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.13. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.14. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

do you picture？A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift？Or a handsome black American likePresident Barack Obama or basketball star Kobe Bryant？In fact，there was a time when the average American looked like none of these people．Back in the year 1500，the average American was a brown﹣skinned hunter﹣gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins．Today，these people﹣who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois，Apache and Navajo﹣are broadly referred to as " Native Americans"，"American Indians" or simply" Indians"There's a chance that you've never even heard of American Indians．That's because there aren't very many left．When the European settlement of North America began，there were fierce conflicts between the settlers from overseas and these native peoples．After the British government and military were expelled （赶走） in the Revolutionary War，conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US．In these conflicts，millions of natives were killed．In 1830，President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act．This act required all Indians to migrate to the west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US．American Indians were treated as a military "enemy" until 1924，when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted US citizenship．That was the first time that the US government formally recognized Indians as human beings．While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one，these peoples' legacies （遗产） are still felt every day in the US．Many US geographical names come from Indian languages，such as Ohio，Topeka，Kansas，and the Potomac River．At the same time，there are numerous successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended from Indians．And nowadays，more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US．I was lucky enough to take such a history class in high school．I sincerely believe that if we want a better future，we must look carefully and honestly at the past．（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？A．Few American Indians have achieved success due to their poor living conditions．B．Today few Americans know about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US．C．In the past，most of the American Indians lived in the states of Ohio and Kansas．D．Since the year 1924，American Indians have been recognized as US citizens．（2）What does the article mainly talk about？A．The sad story of American Indians．B．How the American Indians succeeded in the US．C．What a typical American is like．D．American Indians'e conomic impact on the US．（3）How does the passage mainly develop？A．By providing examples．B．By making comparisons．C．By following the order of time．D．By following the order of importance．28．（6分）America's love﹣hate relationship with China develops speedily． The latest setback in the bilateral relation is another fearsome "China Scare"． Actually， though， in America it is nothing new． The United States' politics seems to need a "China Scare" from time to time．Recall that nearly a storm started around the book The Coming Conflict with China in 2007． Its author was two US journalists formerly working in Beijing．The debate was anything but positive about the Sino﹣US relationship． It is true that China's strategic aims in Asia are not completely the same with those of the US． However， the authors seemed to worry far too much by putting much emphasis on China's military strength．American interest groups are afraid of competing with Chinese imports，because more and more American consumers begin to find Chinese goods a muchcheaper choice． So they held this political view that China's rapid growth is not a blessing for all concerned． Instead it was being thought of as a force threatening other Asia economies and America's too．"President Obama encourages the transfer of money， industrial capacity and technology to China that will help its development but still threaten the US and its allies"， charges William Hawkins， a supporter for protecting US business and industry． Then there's also people saying that China's gain is basically on everyone else's loss． An increasingly globalized and modernized nation of 1.3 billion is not a win﹣win for almost everyone． It's a losing situation for everyone， but for China．That's absurd， I think．Sure， China's neighbors in Asia are worried about Chinese competition and they know they have to work harder in order to compete with China． However，it is unnecessarily sending scare by imagining that economic growth will be greatly reduced， domestic stock markets will get ruined and employment levels will become lower． Certainly， China's economic progress will cause some tense moments． But， on the whole， Asia and the rest of the world will benefit from China's success．Some people on the mainland who want to protect Chinese industries would interfere to slow down market opening．On the other hand，the Obama administration's decision to cut down on import quotas on foreign steel brought about worldwide anger． That decision has made US strategic and economic allies in Asia and Europe angrier at America than at anything China has done lately．So who is the greater threat﹣China or the United States﹣to the world economy？ Let's just say that what continues to be needed in America's relationship with China is not another "red scare"， but the three facts all too often missing： common sense， political maturity and intellectual honesty．（1）Which of the following is not a true statement？A． China Scare is a fairly fresh phenomenon．B． Sino﹣US relationship has aroused a negative debate．C． Opinions on Chinese competition in economic progress vary．D． The world will generally benefit from China's economic growth．（2）William Hawkin reacted to President Obama's policy on China．A． reasonablyB． objectivelyC． respectfullyD． negatively（3）Which may best serve as the title of the above passage？A． America's Love﹣hate Relationship with ChinaB． Debate on Sino﹣US RelationshipC． Benefits or Threats from China and US？D． China Scare， Is It Real？29．（10分）Rice wine has a history of more than 2，000 years as China's favorite liquor and has been credited with having enhanced the health， among others，of the late Deng Xiaoping． But now native rice wine finds itself competing for market share with western style fruit wine．Both foreign traders and local producers have in recent months observed a remarkable rise in the popularity of wine in China， at least in the country's more prosperous cities and coastal regions．There are several reasons for this． One has been a sustained effort by the Chinese government to limit the use of staple grains （主食） for things as frivolous as spirits or beer． Another has been a lot of reports filtering out （过滤） via Hong Kong and Taiwan，citing scientific findings about red wine's good effects on health in general and manliness in particular． Mr． St． Pierre， who imports western wines to China， says that his red wines outsell his whites by 20 to 1， leading him to conclude that Chinese drinkers are indeed choosing their beverages with good health in mind．Mr．St．Pierre is toasting increases in sales of 25% a month．Carl Crook， another importer， recalls that， when he began selling wine in Chinafour years ago，his clients were mainly "well﹣heeled and desperate expatriates（侨民）"． His company， Montrose， now sells more than 1，000 cases a month and expects sales to double this year， despite taxes and duties which add 121% to the price of imported wines．Its catalogue ranges from cheap Californian wines selling wholesale for 69 Yuan per bottle，to Château Lafitte Rothschild．Domestic producers are also cottoning on to the joys of the grape． A few Chinese wineries are increasingly successful，in both international competitions and the domestic market． China's largest wine producer， Dynasty，has overcome quality control problems to produce a well﹣received 1995 Chardonnay． The Huadong Winery in Qingdao （a city still more famous for its beer） has also yielded a successful Chardonnay． Local bottling of foreign wines，local production，and if they materialize，long rumored cuts in tariff duties（关税） may soon help bring the joys of wine to greater numbers of Chinese．For the country's growing class of the newly rich， however， a ridiculously high price tag is all part of the package． In recent years， China's conspicuous （引人注目的）consumers have made the purchase of overpriced wines one of their favorite ways of showing off wealth， in some cases buying bottles priced at several hundred dollars only to smash them on the floor． There is now a new trend that may strike the world's wine merchants as an even greater outrage． Some Chinese wine drinkers have decided that a good claret（干红）or Chardonnay goes down more smoothly when mixed

when I grew up． There were just my parents and I． I vowed that someday I'd marry and have six children， and at Christmas my house would vibrate with energy and love．I found the man who shared my dream，but we had not reckoned on thepossibility of infertility． Undaunted， we applied for adoption， and then he arrived．We called him Our Christmas Boy because he came to us during that seasonof joy． Then nature surprised us again． We added two biological children to the family﹣not as many as we had hoped for，but three made an entirely satisfactory crowd．As Our Christmas Boy grew， he made it clear that only he had the expertise to select and decorate the Christmas tree． He rushed the season， starting his gift list in November． He pressed us into singing carols， our froglike voices contrasting with his musical gift of perfect pitch． Each holiday he stirred us up， leading us through a round of merry chaos．Then， on his 26th Christmas， he left us in a car accident on his way home to his wife and infant daughter． But first he had stopped by the family home to decorate our tree．Grief﹣stricken， his father and I sold our home， where memories clung to every room， and moved away． Seventeen years later， we grew old enough to return home， and settled into a small quiet house， like the house of my childhood． Our other son and daughter had married and begun their own Christmas traditions in another part of the country．One day， I heard the doorbell ring． There stood our granddaughter， and in her gray﹣green eyes I saw the reflection of Our Christmas Boy． Behind her， lugging a large pine tree， came her mother and stepfather． They swept past us in a flurry of laughter； and then decorated the tree．"You'll recognize the ornaments，" said my former daughter﹣in﹣law． "They were his． I save them for you．"When I murmured that we hadn't had a tree for 17 years， our granddaughter said， "Then it's time to have one!"They asked us to join them the next morning for church and for dinner at their home．Our granddaughter ordered， "I'm singing the solo and I want you to be there．"We had long ago given up the poignant Christmas services， but now， we sat rigid in the front pew，fighting back tears．Our granddaughter'smagnificent voice soared， clear and true， in perfect pitch． How her father would have relished that moment!We had been alerted that there would be a lot of people for dinner﹣﹣﹣but 35! I could not sort out who belonged to whom， but it didn't matter． They all belonged to each other． It occurred to me that a true family is not always one's own flesh and blood． It is a climate of the heart． Had it not been for our adopted son， we would not now be surrounded by caring strangers．Later， our granddaughter asked us to come along with her to a place she likes to go．In the foothills there was his grave． As we stood by the headstone in the chilly but somehow comforting silence，we were not prepared for our granddaughter's next move． Once more that day her voice， so like her father's，lifted in song， and the mountainside echoed on and on into infinity．When the last pure note had faded，I felt a sense of peace，of the continuity of life， of renewed faith and hope． The real meaning of Christmas had been restored to us．（1）The author swore that he would when she grew up．A． give birth to six children at least by marryingB． crowd her house with energy and love by having more childrenC． find a man with the same dream to create a warm homeD． make her house a noisy place by adopting a Christmas boy（2）Why did the author and her husband call their adopted son "Our Christmas boy"？A． Because they were unable to have a childB． Because they wished to be blessed by GodC． Because they adopted the boy on ChristmasD． Because the boy was actually a gift for Christmas（3）The author and her husband sold their house in order to ．A． show their grief of losing the sonB． stop their sudden grief from the lossC． flee from their previous memoriesD． recover from their great sorrow（4）The author reveals to us that the truth of Christmas lies in ．A． a realistic dream bound to come trueB． a happy moment crowded with childrenC． a loving family union with an air of a festivalD． a peaceful continuing life with faith and hope第四部分：任务型阅读（共1小题，每小题20分，满分20分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．31．（20分）On a visit to Sussex on February 16th， David Cameron announced that，if the Conservatives win the election on May 7th， young people who are out of work， education or training for six months will have to do unpaid community work to get benefits． The speech was part of a pre﹣election push to show the Conservative Party is tough on welfare reform （though critics insist such schemes rarely promote employment）．"The well﹣worn path﹣from the school gate down to the job centre and on to a life on benefits﹣has got to be wiped away，" said the prime minister．The welfare bill has fallen a bit as unemployment drops． But the main attempt to reform working﹣age benefits﹣known as universal credit （UC）﹣has gone away． In 2011 Mr Cameron said it would be part of "the most ambitious and fundamental changes to the welfare system since it began"． The latest stage of UC was also started from February 16th， but its future is not certain at all．UC combines six working﹣age benefits， including tax credits， housing benefit and job﹣seeker's allowance， into a single payment． It aims to provide the poorest Britons with a ladder to climb out of welfare dependency by simplifying a system that provides perverse incentives（反常动力） to stay on benefits rather than work． Its champion， Iain Duncan Smith， the secretaryfor work and pensions， claims it is as much about changing culture as about saving money．The project has crawled along， hitting many obstacles on the way， such as an overly ambitious timetable that had to be reset in 2013 and an IT system that had to be abandoned， costing tens of millions of pounds． Mr Duncan Smith debated often with George Osborne，the harder﹣nosed chancellor of the exchequer（财政大臣）．Other problems have come from technical complexities， such as linking the tax system's computers with those at the department for work and pensions．Critics say that moving all claims online is foolish when many people do not even have access to a computer． Similarly foolish， they say，are plans to pay benefits monthly rather than weekly to people who cannot budget， and to give housing benefit to applicants who may waste it rather than directly to the landlords of their government﹣funded housing． Defenders say the poor need to be given more responsibility．"The current benefits system is just ‘process and pay'，" says Christian Guy， Mr Duncan Smith's former speechwriter， now head of the Centre for Social Justice． "UC makes the assumption of ambition．"This week's limited demonstration will mean that 250 job centres﹣roughly one in three﹣will offer UC． But these numbers refer to a system used for single recipients with no dependents． The bigger "digital" system， covering complex applicants with children， has not yet been tested． "The reason this week's announcement means nothing is that we are still not sure if the system works for most people，" says Jonathan Portes of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research． "They're producing a system they are not going to use．" The government hoped that 1 million people would be using UC by April 2014， but only 64，000 have used it so far．There is no guarantee it will be carried out in full， even if the Tories form the next government． "I wouldn't put money on UC continuing under either major party，" says Colin Talbot of the University of Manchester． Opponentssay gains will be the lowest． They accuse Mr Duncan Smith and his team of trying to change the world． Mr Guy contradicts： "At least someone is trying．"Title： The government's welfare reform is in （1）第五部分：读写任务32．（25分）阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文． There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard．He was very hardworking， and the farm always prospered（蒸蒸日上） under his care． But he knew that his three sons did not like the farm work， and were eager to reach the goal at a single leap．When the farmer felt that his time had come to die， he called the three sons to him and said， "My sons， there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard． Dig for it， if you wish it．" After the farmer was dead， the sonswent to work to find the pot of gold； since they did not know where the hiding ﹣place was， they agreed to begin in a line， at one end of the orchard， and to dig until one of them should find the money．They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other， round the tree﹣roots and between them． But no pot of gold was to be found． It seemed as if someone must have stolen it， or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits． The three sons were bitterly disappointed to have all their work for nothing． The next olive season， the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given； when it was sold， it gave the sons a whole pot of gold．And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard， they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said， "There is gold hidden in the orchard． Dig for it， if you wish it．"【写作内容】1．以30个词概括上文的主要内容．2．以约120个词就"Dig for it， if you wish

Where can you probably find this article?A. On a news website.B. In a fashion magazine.C. In a history book.D. In a travel journal.CAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished adaring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”8. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips9. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.10. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts11. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World RecordsDSince I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go toCanadajust because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went toYellowknifein theNorthwest Territories.I clearly remember the sixth night inYellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in myhands and feet.As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind.
