When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craftand focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.

【广东省广州市】2017年高考二模英语试卷(附答案与解析)
广东省广州市2017年高考二模英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（30分）AMany people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, or those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new sur roundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first? ________A．They find foreign living much easier.B．They have the necessary language skills.C．They love the adventure and exploration.D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22．According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face? ________ A．Homesickness.B．Culture shock.C．Health problems.D．Lack of employment.23．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do? ________A．Study the local language.B．Go on holidays frequently.C．Learn how to open a bank account.D．Seek out people from their home country.BAustralia loves interesting money. In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a n ew five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink color and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spine bill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5”changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated 20, 50, and 100bills that are still being designed.24．Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted? ________A．The bird. B．The number. C．The plants. D．The building. 25．What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote? ________A．To make the note more difficult to copy.B．To show the country’s advanced technology.C．To help blind people more easily use money.D．To make the not’s appearance more attractive.26．What can we guess about Australian coins? ________A．They are different in size or shape.B．They are required in school cafeterias.C．They are more frequently used than notes.D．They are more convenient for young people.27．What did Connor do to persuade the government? ________A．He wrote a letter to the leaders.B．He organized an online meeting.C．He sought support on the Internet.D．He requested a special Christmas gift.CAt this year’s Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of Green Shields.Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents’ garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his Green Shields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohen’s experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. Green Shields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%,saving about 600 per bus per year, and costs only 30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put Green Shields on all school buses.With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly 2.5 billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly 285 million in annual savings on fuel.28．What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text? ________A．He has produced Green Shields independently.B．He has been employed to improve school buses.C．He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.D．He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29．How does Green Shields make a bus more fuel efficient? ________A．By reducing the amount of wind drag.B．By improving the quality of fuel used.C．By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D．By changing the shape of the bus engine.30．Where did Cohen begin testing his shields? ________A．At Northwestern University.B．In his parents’ garage.C．At a local bus company.D．In an MIT lab.31．What’s the intended benefit of Cohen’s invention? ________A．To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B．To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C．To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D．To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.DWe all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine—like moving a mouse or touching a screen-but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes, moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements” and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games （an interesting task）to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements” greatly decreased, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, Dr. Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. I nstead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students’ computer-based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students’ interest level as they work, educators will be able to adj ust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.32．What does the underlined word “it” in P aragraph 1 refer to? ________A．Homework. B．A computer. C．Boredom. D．The future.33．Why did Dr. Witchel carry out his research? ________A．To discover how bored people move.B．To find out what makes people bored.C．To see if interested people are more active.D．To test the link between boredom and movement.34．Which movement would Witchel’s technology most likely pay attention to? ________A．Turning off the machine.B．Typing words on a keyboard.C．Surfing quickly between webpages.D．Moving one’s head fr om side to side.35．How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel? ________A．By reducing teachers’ workload.B．By maintaining students’ learning interest.C．By reporting students’ misbehavior in class.D．By making learning more like a computer game.第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. （36）It is home to nearly 3.000 mural（壁画）painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city. That’s more murals than any other city on Earth.（37）More than 20years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. （38）The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important, benefits. The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. （39）It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.（40）It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.A．How did this come to be?B．What happened to the murals on Earth?C．They also learned to take pride in their community.D．But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.E．From this some project, something magical happened.F．The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.G．As a result of its success, the murals program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空When you give thanks for help, everyone benefits.

But there’s another classical dance form with a long history （61）has only recently burst onto the world scene. It is called classical Chinese dance.Classical Chinese dance is （62）incredibly demanding, refined, and expressive dance form. Alongside ballet, it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems （63）（know）to humankind.（64）recently, few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance. One major reason was that when Chinese companies performed abroad, they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance style. And so the audience left the theater not sure exactly （65）they had just seen.In 2006,however,the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company（66）（establish）in New York. Its mission was to promote （67）（tradition）culture, and this included （68）（present）classical Chinese dance in its pure form. Not quite a decade later, classical Chinese dance has become much （69）（well）recognized and is starting to influence western ballet.Although they have significant differences, both ballet and classical Chinese dance have the ability to vividly tell （70）（story）and move us through beautiful art.第四部分写作第一节短文改错（满分10分）71．（10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Dear Chris, Are you interested in coming with me to see a famous opera?

意为"不可预料的,出乎意料的",这里如果用unexpected 就和动词hope（希望）矛盾,如果是"希望"的话,说明结果在预料之中了,所以排除.possible 意为"可能的",instant 意为"立刻的,马上的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A．51．B考查名词.结合文意,不久,他就注意到他的生活态度（attitude）变得更好了.结合下文的you become more positive 可以得出说的是"你整个人都变得积极向上了",所以这里应该是指生活态度变得更好.wealth 意为"财富,财产",position 意为"位置,地位",competence 意为"能力,技能",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B．52．D考查形容词.结合文意,"你的生活会变得比你想象的要好,并且生活态度也变得积极了."这是Karli 在做完非常简单的（simple）表达感谢的举动之后说的话.由前文提到的他只是写了几封感谢信（thank﹣you note）来表达感谢,所以这种方式是非常简单而不复杂的.generous 意为"大方的,慷慨的",strange 意为"奇怪的,陌生的",brave 意为"勇敢的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D．53．B考查动词短语.结合文意,受到Karli 经历的激励（inspired）,"我"自己也决定试一试.stick 意为"击打,攻击",shock 意为"使…震惊",invite 意为"邀请",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B．54．A考查米名词.结合文意,受到Karli 经历的激励,"我"自己也决定试一试这个主意（idea）.belief 意为"信任,信念",letter 意为"书信",test 意为"测试",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A．55．D考查名词.结合上文,作者看到Karli 的生活发生积极的改变之后,自己也决定开始尝试向别人写感谢信这种方法.所以推断这里意为"他选择了一个以前从没（never）感谢过的人".nearly 意为"几乎,差不多",frequently 意为"频繁地",already 意为"已经",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D．56．C考查动词.结合后半句句意,但是"我"最终还是发现了他的住址,推断出这里是"我"不知道"我"是否能找到他.locate 这里意为"定位,查找…的地点",符合文意.remember 意为"记住",recognize 意为"认出;识别",reward 意为"奖励",不符合文意.故正确答案为C．57．D考查名词.结合文意,在信中,"我"对于老师在前些年给"我"的指导（guidance）和支持表示了感谢.这里的guidance 是对于教师这个职业来说,给予学生的指导.degree 意为"程度",money 意为"金钱",gift 意为"礼物",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D．58．C考查介词短语.结合文意,反过来（in return）,"我"可能永远不会收到他的回信.这里的hear from（收到…的回信）也提示此处要表达的是"反过来"的意思,意为从收信人那边得到反馈.in advance 意为"提前,预先",in public 意为"公开地,当众",in person 意为"亲自,亲身",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C．59．B考查名词.结合文意,"我"可能永远不会收到老师的回信,但是那并不是重点（point）.point 在这里意为"要点,重点".case 意为"案例,情况",fact 意为"事实",solution 意为"解决方法",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B．60．A考查动词.结合后半句句意,"我"现在已经高兴了好几个月了,推断出前面意为"这封信使我对生活充满感激（appreciate）".understand 意为"理解,明白",face 意为"面对",review 意为"复习",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A．61．which/that 分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词classical dance form在从句中做主语,用关系代词which/that.62．an 考查冠词.form是名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指,因incredibly读音以发元音开头,用不定冠词an.63．known 考查过去分词.be known to意为"为…所熟知",是固定搭配,过去分词短语known to humankind作后置定语.64．Until 考查连词.根据句意:直到最近.用连词until.65．what 考查连词.see是及物动词,后缺少宾语,用what作其宾语.66．was established 考查动词时态和语态.根据时间状语In 2006,用一般过去时态,且主语the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company与establish之间是动宾关系,用一般过去时的被动语态.67．traditional 考查形容词. culture是名词,其前用形容词作定语.68．presenting 考查动名词.include是动词,用动名词短语作宾语.69．better 考查副词比较.much修饰比较级,well的比较级是不规则变化better.70．stories 考查名词复数.tell a story或tell stories意为"讲故事",是固定搭配71．Dear Chris, Are you interested in coming with me to see a famous opera? It will∧performed at the Guangzhou Opera House at 2pm in May Day. I know you took great interest in Chinese culture, especially local opera. I think the perform will not only leave you with an unforgettably impression, but satisfy your interest in Chinese opera as well. If you can come, I suggest us should visit the Guangzhou Museum near the Opera Housebefore and after the opera. You decide. The museum is hosting a exhibition on Cantonese opera. If we go, I believe you can learn many about Chinese opera in there.详解:1．performed前面加be;考查动词的语态,主语it指代前一句中的a famous opera,与动词perform是动宾关系,故在情态动词will后面加be构成被动语态.2．in改为on;考查介词,表示时间时当具体到"在某一天"时要用介词on.3．took改为take;考查动词的时态,本句陈述一个事实,要用一般现在时.4．perform改为performance;考查名词,此处用名词形式作宾语从句的主语.5．unforgettably改为unforgettable;考查形容词,此处用形容词作定语修饰名词impression.6．us改为we;考查人称代词,这里I suggest后面跟一个从句做suggest的宾语,人称代词在从句中做主语,故用主格形式we.7．and改为or;考查连词,分析句意可知此处要用or表示选择关系,意为"在看戏剧之前或者之后".8．a改为an;考查不定冠词,此处用不定冠词泛指"一个",exhibition 以原因因素开头,故用an.9．many改为much;考查近义词辨析,用作代词时many指可数名词复数形式,much指不可数名词,此处指"学到很多",应该用much.10．去掉in;考查介词,there是副词,前面不能用介词.81．There are many options available getting around Guangzhou. When you just want to travel around the downtown area, I suggest that you hire a street bike. They are everywhere and best of all when you finish you can leave the bike where you like. We also have an excellent metro system and bus service. I recommend that you avoid using the buses as much as possible, as traffic jams are pretty common, especially during rush hour. The metro should be perfect for most places. If you want to go to the suburbs or countryside my father can drive us or you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available. Looking forward to seeing you in Guangzhou.Yours, Li Hua. 亮点句型一:I recommend that you avoid using the buses as much as possible, as traffic jams are pretty common, especially during rush hour.我建议你尽量避免使用公共汽车,因为交通堵塞很常见,尤其是在交通高峰期.本句是一个虚拟语气的句子,recommend that sb should do 其中should 可以省略.亮点句型二:If you want to go to the suburbs or countryside my father can drive us or you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available.如果你想去郊区或乡下,我的父亲可以开车送我们,或者你甚至可以使用许多租车服务之一、if引导的是条件状语从句,主句是一个并列句由my father can drive us 和you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available构成.。

He started out collecting insects as a hobby , but eventually his longing for adventure led him to explore the world .Luckily for Wallace , Victorian Britain was discovering an interest in weird and wonderful insets ,so the demand from museums and private collections for these bests was growing . Wallace was able to make a living doing what he loved : collecting beetles and other insects .But his first trip of exploring the world ended in disaster . Wallace proceeded to the Amazon in South America . Its giant forests promised a wealth of new species , sure to put him on the scientific map . The trip took 6 weeks and involved every mode of transport in existence at the time . After four years Wallace had to watch in despair as his samples went up in flames ----including live animals he was bringing home that were trying to jump free of the flames . But he did not let it stop him .In 1854, Wallace set off on another adventure , this time to the Malay Archipelago . Wallace found himself humbled by the new and exciting things he saw. He later recalled : “ As I lie listening to these interesting sounds , I think how many besides myself have longed to see with their own eyes the many wonderful and beautiful thingswhich I am daily encountering .”In 1858, Wallace wrote what became as the …Temate essay “: a piece of writing that was to change our understanding of life forever . In his essay , Wallace argued that a species would only turn into another species if it was struggling for existence . Henry W. Bates was one of many scientists delighted by the idea of evolution by natural selection . In a letter to Wallace , he wrote :” The i dea is like truth itself , so simple and obvious that those who read and understand it will be stuck by its simplicity , and yet it is perfectly original .”56. __________finally caused Wallace to explore the world ?A.

Other high –end offerings like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift , as well as mobile options like Samsung‟s Gear VR, will get your head in the game .Wireless headphonesCombining ease of use with the ability to move wild around your home , gym or workplace , wireless headphones just make sense . And there are plenty of practical options to suit any budget . The Boss QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive , though .

Yi Mi(C)Naquela Wright‟s life took an unexpected turn when she lost her eyesight as a teenager, but even when her world became immersed in darkness, the New Jersey resident didn‟t want to quit social media.Using Facebook was a challenge at first. Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri, a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision, Wright learned how to use ascreen reader to read the site through the touch of keyboard and sound of a robotic voice. Still, when a friend sends her in a photo, Wright often has no clue what the image shows.Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what‟s in an image.“I can have a basic picture in my mind of what‟s going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own,” said Wright, who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested. “Of course, it‟s different, but it‟s something more than I had.”An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally, according to the World Health Organization, and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring out what‟s in a photo because the description isn‟t clear or doesn‟t exist.Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings, adding alternative text for images, launching keyboard shortcuts, and more. Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts.With 1.5 billion users, Facebook isn‟t the only social media company that wants to improve its website for the visually impaired. Along with Facebook and other major tech firms, Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called “Teaching Accessibility.”Jeff Wieland, Facebook‟s head of accessibility engineering, said the group wants to educate more engineers, especially early on in college, about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others. “We really don‟t want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies,” Wieland said. “We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in mind.”63. What tool helps the visually disabled to read Facebook?A. A screen readerB. A special keyboardC. A helpful robotD. HTML headings64 What can be inferred from the passage about the new tool created by Facebook?A. It adds a lot of shortcuts on the keyboard.B. It helps users to employ their senses other than sightC. It meets no competitors with its advanced technology.D. It inspires more engines to explore artificial intelligence65. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “are compatible with” most probably means ________.A. are unaffordable toB. bring harm toC. keep company ofD. well suit66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Screen reader: tool to access social mediaB. Ongoing effort: strength to improve websitesC. Artificial intelligence: power to help the blindD. Teaching accessibility: initiative to educate engineerSection CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceYour Own Best FriendTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you‟ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech ahead of time. you‟ll have felt the social restriction against communicating with yourself in words. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.___67___ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a narrative of our experience.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations. ___68___ We do a lot of it when we are young – perhaps one reason for our shyness about continuing with it as adults.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of other. ___69___.Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person:“you”rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children – but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. ___70___ You‟re sure to see an athlete or two getting themselves ready for a sharp phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Moustache（胡子）for Cash“Movember”, as the annual event is known, sees men in countries including the UK, US and Australia grow out their facial hair while collecting sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues, with the money going to cancer charities.The month of no shaving began unofficially in 2003, when a pair of men from Australia persuaded their family to join them in growing a moustache in order to encourage men to get themselves checked for cancer, which is seen as distasteful by some males. A year later, the group decided to set up the Movember Foundation, asking friends and colleagues to offer donations of money to support their efforts, and raised a massive A$54,000 which was shared between a number of health projects. With thanks most likely a social media, Movember soon went global and the foundation now operates worldwide. having raised over ￡440 million since 2004. Theeffects of the fundraising are wide-reaching, which had made a significant discovery in the treatment of cancer.The issue of some men being too self-willed to visit their doctor for a checkup, or perhaps being raised in a culture of “touch it out”，has led some males to neglect their health, which may mean it could be too late if something potentially deadly did develop. However, Movember is helping to break down the shame of male to appeal to men in a way that other campaigns just don‟t – with a sort of blokey①jokiness.①blokey：behaving in a way that is supposed to be typical of men, especially men enjoying themselves in a group.V. TranslationDirection：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 永远不要对你孩子的缺点熟视无睹。

When the studio didn't want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me, I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sring four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft〔技艺〕and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core〔核心〕of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and l didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and 1 both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn't like his agent.C. He wasn't famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They had similar characteristics.6. What does the underlined words “that” i n paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.7. W hat is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle–named theTransition–has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost $279,000. And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline Industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.D. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition's First FlightC. Pilots' Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked, It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to theattackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to "overhear" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a tree, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietly.D. It sends out certain chemicals.13. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.14. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The world is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than before.C. The world is more complex than it seems.D. People in Darwin's time were more imaginative.第二节(共5小题;每题2分，总分值10分)根据短义内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

A
Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in sever weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.
A. he was concerned about his son’s safety
B. he wanted to help his son build up courage
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only"． I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment．My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right．" Ialways try to live by the "extra minute" rule． When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only"moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding （衬垫） onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table．I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety． It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships． We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had ________ an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you．" When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here． But then I thought about the fact that he's 84years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him． I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all．I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality． And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing． I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well﹣being．（1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule？________A Start the car the moment everyone is seated．B Leave the room for a minute with the iron working．C Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better．D Move an object out of the way before it trips someone．（2）The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to________．A keep her appointment with the eye doctor．B meet her father who was already an old man．C join in the holiday celebration of the company．D finish her work before the deadline approached．（3）The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________．A avoided．B lacked．C abandoned．D took．（4）What is the best title for the passage？________A The Emotional Well﹣being．B The Two Saddest Words．C The Most Useful Rule．D The Peace of Mind．8. Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing． Many American cities have nicknames． These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity． Nicknames can also be funny．Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City． Los Angeles has several nicknames． One is simply the city's initials, L．A． It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish．Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather． So another nickname is City of Flowers andSunshine． New York is called The Big Apple． So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate．The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles． So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World． Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood． Millions of people visit the area． ________Many movie stars live in Los Angeles． The city is sometimes called Tinseltown． This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry．Another nickname for Los Angeles is La﹣La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles． This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality．A good place for watching unusual﹣looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles． A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there． Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars． That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown． On the whole, Los Angeles is growing attractive just for its rich nicknames．（1）Choose the one that isn't the function of a nickname of a place．________A Uniting surrounding cities．B Entertainment．C Bringing pride to the locals．D Establishing characteristics．（2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined sentence？________A Seeing the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside means you've been really to Los Angeles．B Not seeing the word "Hollywood" on a hillside means you haven't been to Los Angeles．C If you visit Los Angeles you should first pay a visit to "Hollywood" s on a hillside．D Your trip to Los Angeles is not complete if you miss the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside．（3）What's the number of the nicknames given to Los Angeles？________A 5．B 4．C 7．D 6．（4）According to the passage， the true statement is________．A Los Angeles was built after the Italian city of Venice．B Hollywood alone adds fame to Los Angeles．C Los Angeles is most famous for its nicknames．D All the nicknames increase the charm of Los Angeles．9. Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their cars on Sunday in protest against unlicensed cars using taxi﹣hiring apps （打车软件） and apps﹣based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high﹣end cars． Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy （补贴） by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet﹣based car services companies．On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal "taxi business" of private cars through the newly rising Internetapps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing．It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi﹣hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal． But Shanghai transport regulators（交通管理机构） have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December．Such regulations （规定） will cause a setback（挫折） to the car﹣hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business． Just lastmonth, Didi Dache got ﹩700million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent． Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting ﹩800million from global investors．Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet﹣based car﹣hiring services, which have become popular in most of China's big cities． To be fair, these companies' business model is anything but bad． For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high﹣end car service mainly for business﹣people through the Internet and mobile phone apps．Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services． Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it．（1）Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles？________A Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances．B Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi﹣hiring apps．C Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority．D Because they wanted to appealto passengers not to hire the private cars．（2）The author's attitude to banning internet car﹣hiring service is________．A positive．B negative．C neutral （中立的）．D unclear．（3）Which of the following statements is false according to the passage？________A The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities．B App﹣based car rental is functional to some degree．C The government should regulate the app﹣based car rental market．D Didi Dache is a China﹣foreign joint company．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．10.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．（1）_______ Try the following steps：Calm yourself．（2）_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something thatgives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（3）_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．（4）_______ If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．Don't forget to forgive yourself．（5）_______ But it can rob you of your self﹣confidence if you don't do it．A．Why should you forgive？B．How should you start to forgive？C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．D．Try to see things from you offender's angle．E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress﹣management technique．G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．11.

【广东省肇庆市】2017年高考二模英语试卷及答案解析
广东省肇庆市2017年高考二模英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)AMaster painter Zhang Daqian was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain﹣and﹣water ink painting featuring gongbi(meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in 1976.After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain﹣and﹣water style, according to C．K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1to 5.Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty paintings, while also developing his own style.21．The underlined word "confidants" in paragraph 3probably means _______.A．enemies B．Colleges C．friends D．painters22．How old was Li Qiujun when she died? _______A．50 B．75 C．78 D．8423．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? _______A．Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.B．Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.C．Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape in Hong Kong.D．Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.BA new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65scientists around the world to record age﹣related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says."You get people who are vegan, sleep 10hours a day, have a low﹣stress job, and still end up dying young, "Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."The findings discovered that 5percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age."The great hope is that we find anti﹣aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate, "Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."24．Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because _______.A．their biological clock is not powerful enoughB．the most definitive evidence has been foundC．they have a higher actual age than othersD．they ages at a relatively faster biological rate25．How was the study conducted? _______A．By collecting and analyzing dataB．By interviewing lots of peopleC．By researching previous studiesD．By studying different lifestyles26．According to the study, it can be inferred that _______.A．people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longerB．people's lifespan can be predicted by their ageC．5percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rateD．anti﹣aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? _______A．We all should keep healthy lifestyleB．Geneticist finds anti﹣aging interventionsC．Biological clock predicts life expectancyD．Horvath builds an important milestoneCAs a Chinese saying goes, "Taste is actually a memory of childhood". Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.Gongcheng "oil tea" is such a kind of food that would be considered "weird" by many first﹣time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent(涩的)flavor when they take a sip."It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I would gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it, "said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China's Hebei province.Langshan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng "oil tea" whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty, as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking" oil tea" throughout the year.The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea while heating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues(余渣), and pours the glue﹣like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans.The taste of the "oil tea" is a mixture of the distinctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice(糯米)balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.The villagers consume "oil tea" three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. "The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners", said Lin. "But it is tastier."28．Many first﹣time visitors may find "oil tea" _______ when taking a sip.A．popular B．strange C．addicted D．beneficial29．What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage? _______A．She never expected that she would gradually accept "oil tea".B．She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.C．She thinks drinking "oil tea" throughout the year makes her look younger.D．She drinks "oil tea" three times every day and considers coffee tastier.30. Which is the correct order of cooking "oil tea" according to Lin Fengyou? _______a．pour the glue﹣like green tea soup into bowlsb．heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the teac．add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etc.d．add edible oil and boiled watere．filter off the solid residuesA．bdeac B．dbace C．acebd D．beadc31．Which column is this passage probably taken from? _______A．Culture Education B．Entertainment C．Health D．Travel.DChina's largest search engine Baidu has said it will make its latest artificial intelligence(AI)technology accessible to developers and businesses as part of the company's latest move into AI, big data and cloud computing.AI solution "Tianzhi" was launched at a cloud﹣computing summit held in Beijing Wednesday. It includes services in three fields: sensing technology, such as image and voice processing, machine learning, and deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning, said Zhang Yaqin, CEO of the Nasdaq﹣listed company, at the summit.Developers can access facial or voice recognition, algorithms(演算法)for data analysis and projections, and deep learning applications, Zhang said, adding that the technology could help users innovate in their sectors."With more devices connected to the cloud, enterprises will use cloud computing and AI more frequently, "said Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, "Open AI technology can play a bigger role." The company also revealed a plan to invest 10billion yuan(1．45billion U.

AThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, more commonly known as “the Met”, located in New York City, is the largest art museum in the United States. Its impressive permanent collection is home to over two million works, divided among seventeen specialized departments. It is among the most visited art museums in the world. The main building is one of the world’s largest art galleries. On March 18, 2016, the museum opened the Met Breuer Museum, greatly enriching the museum’s modern and up-to-date art program.The Mot’s permanent collection consists of works of art from classical antiques to ancient Egyptian artifacts（史前古器物）, paintings and sculptures from all but a few of the European masters. It also has an outstanding collection of American and modern art and proudly houses extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanic, Indian and Islamic art. Visitors can also find large collections of musical instruments and costumes, as well as antique weapons from around the globe.The Metropolitan Museum of Art was found in 1870. It is the result of a project between businessmen, financier and influential thinkers of the day. Theyall shared the same passion of bringing art and art education to the American people.

After this, the centre will pass on the news to the 36other nations of the Commonwealth（英联邦）for whom the Queen has served as a symbolic figurehead for many decades.It will not be long before the news spreads from world leaders to the general public, with the news of her passing to the Press Association and thus the global media as well.This marks a break from the long﹣held tradition of the BBC being the first news outlet to learn of royal deaths. What’s more, while George VI’s death was not announced until four hours after he died, news of the Queen’s death will be far more instant.A footman in mourning clothes will be sent out of the door at Buckingham Palace at the same time to pin a notice of the news to the gates, while the officialpalace website will feature﹣just one page, letting out the news on a dark background.24．What are the code words for the Queen’s death? ______A．Hyde Park Comer.B．Buckingham Palace.C．London Bridge is down.D．Operation London Bridge.25．Why will 15governments outside the UK be informed of the news immediately? ______A．The Queen once served there.B．The Queen also governs them.C．The Queen is the former head.D．The Queen is the symbolic head.26．Who used to let out the news of royal deaths? ______A．The BBC.B．A footman.C．Civil servants.D．World leaders.27．What will people know from the footman’s notice? ______A．A secret plan has a code.B．George VI is alive again.C．The Prime Minister is woken.D．The Queen has passed away.CI was five years old when my little brother, Murk, was born. Looking back at photos, I appeared so thrilled that he had finally arrived. I held and bathed him, smiling from cheek to check. I do not remember that feeling now.Being the first child in the family, I was the one my parents tested their new parenting techniques on. I was their guinea pig. Mark was always the happy one, the joker, the one who won because of my battles with my parents. After too many fights, I declared war on Mark. We were now enemies. All l remember is being jealous of（妒忌）and angry with my innocent little brother.Thus. I made his life a misery. I teased, tricked, embarrassed, and fought with him. Often leaving him in floods of tears.Our little sister was born when I was 11. and instantly she and Mark could not be separated. They pushed me aside. Was this because I was becoming a monster, or did I grow into an uglier green﹣eyed monster because they loved each other so much?Thankfully, Mark quickly grew tall and strong, and our conflict looked more like a cold war than bloodshed（流血）.It all ended suddenly when I went to study abroad. The hatred（仇恨）disappeared and love climbed in.Despite all the abuse Mark suffered he has implied that he has forgiven me, or even that there is nothing to forgive, although I have never brought up the subject in too much detail. I would like to; however, it would be a selfish moveto look for more forgiveness. But I prefer to remember the hurt. During all those wasted years, I should have been the loving sister, defending instead of attacking.28．How did the writer feel at the birth of her brother? ______ A．Worried.B．Excited.C．Surprised.D．disappointed.29．Why did the writer consider her brother as her enemy? ______A．She didn’t like her brother.B．She’d like to be a monster.C．She used to be ill﹣treated.D．She did so out of jealousy.30.

All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities "and opportunities that VR brings.These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. And 2017looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off.For a start, using VR will become more normal in 2017．Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets. “The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi （science﹣fiction）idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination.” said Andrew, a designer at US VR Company, Survios.It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real ﹣life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by justwearing a VR headset at home.You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting﹣rooms sooner rather than later. ‘‘This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences. ‘‘said Roy DeYoung from US﹣based marketing agency, PMX.As time goes on, there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology.

they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you shouldput something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They have similar characteristic.26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air.Onthe ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways.It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The basic data of the Transition.B.The advantages of flying cars.C.The potential market for flying cars. C.The designers of the Transition.29.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A.It causes traffic jams.B.It is difficult to operate.C.It is very expensive.D.It bums too much fuel.30.What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A.CautiousB.Favorable.C.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Flying Car at Auto ShowB.The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD.Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ,it doesn’t sit quietly.Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get.These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know.Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself.Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry.So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear.Our senses are weak.There’s a whole lot going on.32.What does a plant do when it is under attack?A.It makes noises.B.It gets help from other plants.C.It stands quietlyD.It sends out certain chemicals.33.What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A.The attackers get attacked.B.The insects gather under the table.C.The plants get ready to fight back.D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.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。

When MrsEdwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of R obert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However , noneof them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanationgiven by one doctor was that, since R obert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the onlyway for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.41．The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that ______ A ．he had to live in a dark and silent world C ．he was struck by the lightning once moreB ．a terrible traffic accident happened to himD ．nobody in the world cared about him42．What was R obert doing when he was struck by the lightning? ______ A ．T aking a walk with a stick.C ．Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B ．Driving a car .D ．Lying on the ground.43．What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock ______ A ．A plough and a wall.C ．His wife who called for help to save him.B ．His neighbors.D ．Many doctors surrounding him.43．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ______ A ．R obert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years. B ．R obert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.C ．Robert could hear his wife’s shouting for help when he woke upD ．The family’s love helped Robert regain confidence to live 45．W e can infer from the text that ________.A ．many doctors came because R obert was badly injuredB ．a sudden injury in t he head led to Robert’s recoveryC ．Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD ．there was no accurate explanation for Roberts recoveryCThe temperature is sharply rising with each passing day . People, including many experts, find it difficult to slowdown the process. However , leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change inthe future, according to a new study . That is to say, a third of oil reserves on the earth, half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be use d before the year 2050. If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However , it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.“Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within theircountries is wholly incompatible(矛盾的)with their hope to reach the2-degree goal,”Dr.Chrisophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement.“If they go ahead with developing their own resources,”he added,“they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should rem ain u n burn e d in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.”It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world.There are many coal reserves in China,Russia and the United States,along with over260th ou sand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the p anies spent over$670billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels,but according to the new model u se d in this latest study,developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these unde r g r ound resources so as to mak e some contributions to control the world temperatur e from rising high in the future.“We’ve now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to k eep within the2-degree temperature limit,”added M c Glade.World leaders and policy mak ers should tak e the advice to heart,because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not tak en soon,climate chan ge will cause irreversible(不可逆转的)impacts on environments worldwide,leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.46．According to P aragraph1,our goal is to______A．discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB．slow down the climate changeC．refuse to use reserves on the earthD．k eep the temperatur e rise below2degr ees Celsius47．The underlined word“emissions”in Paragraph1refers to______A．things that are sent out into the airB．products that are made from fossil fuelsC．factors that cause the climate chan geD．changes that happen after temperatur e rise48．According to what M c Glade said in P aragraph2,all countries should______A．mak e full use of their fossil fuelsB．work together towards the2-degr e e goalC．find better ways to dig out the coalD．increase the global carbon budget49．W e can infer from P aragraph3that great efforts have been made in______A．digging out the oil in the Middle EastB．getting people to rethink their fuel plansC．Developing fossil fuels ar ou nd the worldD．developing energy-related industry worldwide50.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of temperature control?______A．Confident.B．Negative.C．Satisfied.D．Unclear.DIt’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Canadianwriter just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29th, she still didn’t seek thespotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Y ear by the Financial Times.In Munro’s eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas . So she records what we casually think of as theeveryday actions of normal people. She o ften focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which sheis most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness, poor country schools and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary . These are ordinary people, ordinarystories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made herstories inviting.Runaway, one of Munro’s representative works, is a good example of her writing style O ne of the stories centerson the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The storyslowly forms a picture of Carla, trap p ed in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life. There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart.Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munr o has won many awards, with the NobelPrize being her biggest honor . On Oct 10th, 2013, t he Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of thecontemporary short story”.51．W e learn from P aragraph 1 that Alice Munr o ______ A ．didn 't get on well with the mediaB ．was surprised at winning the Nobel PrizeC ．Didn 't value the title of Women of the Y earD ．remained modest though very successful 52．Many of Alice Munro’s works ______ A ．center on the happy life of country women B ．are about betrayals of love and violence C ．focus on everyday life of ordinary people D ．are romantic stories setting in her hometown53．What makes Alice M u n r o’ s stories fascinating according to the text? ______A ．The complicated plots.C ．The h u mor ou s language.B ．Her rich imagination. D ．Her writing techniques.54．In her representative work Runaway , Carla ______ A ．tries to run away from her husband B ．is a faithful wife to her husband C ．leads a happy life with ClarkD．loses all hopes for a better life55．What is the text mainly about?______A．Alice Munr o and her hometown.B．Alice Munro and her writing style.C．Alice Munro's representative works.D．The awards Alice Munr o won.第Ⅱ卷第三部分:写作第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题.Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,mak e bombs,and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑)to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious th an his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The b ook focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?T o answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation(背诵)of facts.But Brooks has structured his b ook in an unorthodox(非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to mak e his points,per haps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica,the her o and heroine in his story, live thr oug h childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this thr oug h to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks’story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks’attempt to translate his t ale into science.56．What is the main idea of P aragraph2?(No more than10words)57．Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories?(No more than15words)58．According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the science of child development?(No more than10 words)59．Please explain the underlined word“weighty”in English.(No more than1word)60.Do you like Brooks’way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(No more than20words)第二节:书面表达（满分25分）目前,中国已经进入汽车社会,越来越多的汽车正走进寻常百姓家.但是有些驾驶员的素质令人担忧,他们的所作所为严重危害了自己和他人的安全,这种现象与社会的发展极不协调.请你以李津的名义,根据以下提示写一封英文倡议书,倡议所有驾驶员做“中国好司机”.（1）简单描述以上现象;（2）你的建议:①严格遵守交通规则;②不隔窗抛物;③礼让他人,不闯红灯注意:（1）词数不少于100;（2）可适当加入细节,使内容充实、行文连贯;（3）开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数参考词汇:规则regulations让路give way to闯红灯run the r ed lightDear drivers,At present,more and more cars have enter ed the homes of ordinary people_______________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely yours,Li Jin. /天津市南开区 2017 届高三二模英语试卷答 案1~5．CBBDB6~10．AACDA 11~15．CBDAD 16~20.ADDBC21~25．CACBD41~45．ACABD26~30.AADCB46~50.DABCB 31~35．ABADB51~55．DCDAB36~40.CBCAD56．The purpose of writing The Social Animal The main topics of the book.

Some cleaners are hit by the passing cars and die per year while they are picking up the things you have thrown away . Next, give way to passers-by politely at the crossroads and you mustn ’t run the red light. Last but not least, always remember your families are waiting for you at home.I really hope all the drivers tak e action from now on and try to be good Chinese drivers. Sincerely yours, Li Jin。

When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.

The Metropolitan Museum of ArtThe Metropolitan Museum of Art （the Met） is located in New York City and is the largest art museum in the United States, and is among the most visited art museums in the world．Today, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and cultures．Open Seven Days a WeekSunday﹣Thursday: 10 am﹣5: 30 pmFriday and Saturday: 10 am﹣9 pmClosedThanksgiving Day, December 25, January 1 and May Day．Suggested AdmissionIf you buy tickets at a museum ticket counter, the amount you pay is up to you．Adults ﹩25Seniors （65 and over）﹩17Students ﹩12Members （Join Today!）FreeChildren （under 12; accompanied by an adult） FreeExhibitions are free with Museum admission．Avoid waiting in admission lines! By buying tickets online you agree to pay our suggested pricesGroups: Advance reservations are required for all adult and student groups of 10or more, and for any third﹣party guided tours, regardless of size．（1）Which day is suitable for you to visit the Museum？________A January 1．B May 1．C November 8．D December 25．（2）If you become a new member today，how much should you pay for a ticket？________ A 25 dollars． B 17 dollars． C 12 dollars． D 0 dollars．（3）What is the requirement for student groups' visit？________A Reserve the tickets in advance．B The group consists of no more than 10 students．C At least 10 students groups can visit it in advance．D The students must be guided by their teacher．2. Like Indiana Jones （a fictional character）, who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time, my father is a businessman by day and a thrill﹣seeker by night．His enthusiasm ________ me, and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures．We started out by riding America's fastest, most twisted roller coasters．After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon（峡谷）on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe．Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world．Skydiving was especially thrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps．We have bungeejumped from the world's highest platform, Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa．Most recently, in Interlaken, Switzerland, we attempted canyoning（溪降运动）．Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning．Our adventure began with a 90﹣foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice﹣cold river．Then we crossed the bone ﹣chilling water toward the mouth of the river, our final destination, where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin．We slid over slippery rocks at one moment, jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next．Back and forth we alternated, climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water．Certainly, clanger was waiting for us in each of these activities, but that very danger provided the rush．Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another, from beginning to end．While canyoning is possible only in certain places, thrills and adventure can be found anywhere．Our beginnings in the U．S． showed us just that．We continue to seek the big thrills, but in doing so, we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well．After all, we can't go canyoning every day, and small thrills are better than none for us thrill﹣seekers．（1）What do we know about the author's father？________A He likes Indiana Jones very much．B He is doing a part﹣time job．C He enjoys experiencing adventures．D He is a very successful bushinessman．（2）What does the underlined phrase "rubbed off on" mean in paragraph 2？________A keep off．B affect．C relate to．D confuse．（3）What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning？________A Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it．B Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water．C Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels．D Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river．（4）What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph？________A Canyoning is not suitable for everyone．B We had better go abroad to experience canyoning．C Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well．D America is the most proper place to experience adventures．3. Robots will have taken over most jobs within 30 years leaving humanity facing its "biggest challenge ever" to find meaning in life when work is no longer necessary according to experts．Professor Moshe Vardi, who works in Rice University, says that many middle﹣class professionals will be assisting the work of machines within the next few decades leaving workers more leisure（休闲）time than they have ever experienced and as a result, the rise of robots could lead to unemployment rate greater than 50 percent．"We are approaching a time when machines wilt be able to do better than humans at almost any task, " said Vardi, "Robots are doing more and more jobs that people used to do．I believe that society needs to face this question before it's upon us．If machines can doalmost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The question I want to put forward is, 'Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind? '"Prof．Vardi said existing robotic and artificial intelligence （AI） technologies were already getting rid of a growing number of middle﹣class jobs and that pace of advancement in the field is increasing．But Prof．Vardi is not sure that a workforce of human like robots will be good for mankind．"A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue leisure activities, "he said．"I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisure﹣only life appealing．I believe that work is essential to human well﹣being．"He added, "Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life． If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do? "（1）Acerding to the text，what is human's "biggest challenge ever"？________A The most challenging jobs．B Seeking the significance of life．C The rise of unemployment rates．D No necessary work for humanity．（2）What is Prof．Vardi concerned about？________A Whether robotic and AI technologies are good for humans．B Whether robots can rule humans within 30years．C The unemployment rate is increasinggreatly． D The development of robots is rapid enough．（3）What does Prof．Vardi think of the leisure﹣only life？________A Realistic and comfortable．B Unpleasant and unattractive．C Entertaining and pleasing．D Disgusting and annoying．（4）We can infer from the text that we________in the future．A will be in short of labor force．B can have a surplus of products．C have to face fierce competition．D may lose the value of life．4. Last summer, bird﹣watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia（柬埔寨）: the Cambodian tailorbird．It was not an event of particular biological significance but it was striking for one reason: This species of tailorbird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but within the limits of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh．We don't typically think of the city as a likely habitat for natural life except rats and pigeons（鸽子）, let alone as a hiding place for an undiscovered species of bird．But a new paper, published last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, proves it incorrect．A team of 24 researchers has studied birds and plants in 147 cities, and found that cities much more closely resemble their native habitats than they resemble each other．It's also true that in the world of birds and plants, as in human society, there is such thing as a world species who feels equally at home in Francisco, Milan and Beijing．Four birds appear in more than 80 percent of the cities studied, and 11plants in more than 90 percent of the cities．On the plant side, those include meadow grass, shepherd's purse, weeks．In the air, it's the usual species: the pigeon, the house sparrow and the European starling（惊鸟）．They all have become completely adapted to urban life．However, not all cities are equal protectors of plants and animals, though．City design plays an important role in greening a city．In fact, the amount of green space is a stronger predictor of the biodiversity than a city's size．In a world where architecture, food, language, fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized, a city's native plants and animals are considered as a kind of city identity．Cities tend to become similar, but their natural environments stand differently apart．（1）What does the author think of the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird？________A It is just an exception．B It is a wonder for the Cambodians．C It is an amazing biological event．D It is very common in the world．（2）Weeds and sparrows are found in many cities．This seems to be a result of________．A complete adaption．B natural selection．C good urban design．D rapid globalization．（3）We can learn that while cities tend to become similar，their naturalenvironments________．A are becoming worse．B remain diverse．C are expanding in size．D stay unchanged．（4）What would be the best title for the text？________A The Discovery of New Species of Bird in Cambodia．B The Similarity of the Habitatsin Different Cities． C City's Native Plants and Animals﹣A Kind of CityIdentity． D City﹣Protector of Native Plants and Animals．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. （1）_______People don't care how much you're feeling your look．No one needs to see eight pictures from your date night out．Remember，as my sister recommends， "You can't give the people too much or they will be over it very quickly．"3．Selfies（自拍）have strict rulesBasically，don't just go around throwing up random selfies like the world is ending tomorrow．It's not a cute look． Here's what my sister had to say about selfies： Be spontaneous（自然率真）and fun．TBTs （Throwback Thursday） have to actually be TBTs．（2）_______．Instead，use TBTs for cute baby pictures and awkward middle school photos．It's funny， according to the resident teens．4．Putting your account on private is unnecessaryYou should set your profile to public because you should have nothing to hide．Also，it gets you more followers， which is what you're after．（3）_______．For it's Instagram，after all，In the wise words of the teen， "Life is too short， Eat dessert first．"A．Here's what to do and，more importantly，what not to doB．Most importantly，have fun and don't take it too seriouslyC．Gaining likes and followers is very interestingD．Teenagers are tastemakersE．Don't post too muchF．Don't he selfishG．You aren't fooling anyone if you TBT a recent photo笫三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

2017浙江省高考英语二模英语试题附参考答案第二部分：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ARaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in sever weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached thestop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching , until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1probably mean?A. Accepted happily. Agreed willingly. unhappily.22. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bushome23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A. he was concerned about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s Secret.B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.BTh e British “Daily Telegraph”Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year. There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long distance machine, travelling some of the longest routes. It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which isresponsible for monitoring US-made aircraft ,has recorded fewer than 60 incidents.But the recent record hasn’t been exact with two major incidents-a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which causes three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777at Heathrow in January 2008.To our sadness, two days ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving an Asian Airlines flights at San Francisco International Airport in July , which occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar(雷达)during the early stages of the trip.The accident at San Francisco in July was due to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air. The BA crash landing, which did not result in any deaths, was finally found to have been caused by a block in the fuel line feeding the engine.However, the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip. No exact explanations have been given for the Malaysia airlines plane crash. Firstreports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-oldMalaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced-having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the aircraft under his belt.25. Which of the following is TRUE of the plane crashes?A. There are four plane crashes mentioned in the passageB. The BA incident in July resulted from the pilot errorC. Three deaths were caused in the crash at San FranciscoD. The crash in San Francisco airport was caused by a block26. What can we learn from the next?A. The exact reason for 370crash is not clearB. Flight 370 crash must be similar to the BA incidentC. The experienced pilot of Flight 370 can’t have operated wrongD. Flight 370 must have been taken control of to a different place27. What you read is ______________.A. a noteB. as cheduleC. a reviewD. a news report28. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. introduce the Flight 370crashB. show Boeing777’s safetyC. guess the cause of the Flight 370 crashD. compare the causes of these plane crashesCMany of the world’s countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG). Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe(including Russia), the United States, Canada, Japan. And Australia. As the rate of natural increase(RNI)declines, two things happen．First, the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration. Second, a country’s population ages because there are fewer births.Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country’s population begins to drop? Many people, after all, believe that population decline is a good thing. But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?An aging population can create many problems. Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention. Rather than paying into retirement programs, they begin to draw from their pensions. In the US, the Social Security program, according to many experts, will be used up by 2018. It will pay out more money than it takes in. Additionally , a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry levelpositions that pay low wages. With an able to do them. Many of these jobs are aging population, who will fill them? At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills. Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple : increased migration.Today many people, particularly those from less developed countries, are migrating in search of employment. Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not) be filled by the domestic population. Others are well educated and highly skilled. Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways. Further, they add to the richness of a country’s culture. Of greatest importance, perhaps, is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands. As you can see, for many countries and for most immigrants, migration is a win—win situation.29. In the writer’s view，which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely goodB. Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of itsside effectsC. Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizensD. Achieving ZPG is good for employmentto the passage, the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is .A. to improve the health care systemB. to increase RNIC. to increase employmentD. to increase migrationmain idea of the last paragraph is .A. the advantages of increased migrationB. the problem of declining and aging populationC. how to increase migrationD. some ways to enrich a country’s cultureDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are ,the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets,everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support theygot.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A. Only good jokes make people laughB. Many factors lead to people laughing.C. Funny things can make people laughD. Laughter can make people healthy.33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.B. The pedestrians behaved ina funny way.C. They could feel the pedestrians’happiness.D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?A. AnnoyB. BlameC. Look down onD. Make up to35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

foreigners．A basic understanding of American food and culture is required and will be assessed at the time of interview．Must be able to lift loads of up to 15kg．Experience is a plus．Salary：8 dollars per hour﹣plus tipsComputer Network Engineer needed at Pi﹣Rex Company INCHours：Monday﹣Friday 9 am﹣5 pmRequirements：This job is an internship，and no experience in computer maintenance is necessary but applicant must be willing to learn and take instruction．This position will provide the applicant with training opportunities and a scholarship while they study under a trained computer network engineer．A good memory and an ability to type at least 40words per minute is required．Have a good command of English and Chinese．Salary：4，000 dollars per monthHR Manager needed for Ford Motor CompanyHours：Monday﹣Friday 8 am﹣4：30 pmRequirements：This position calls for an upbeat and sociable individual with good time management skills．They must work well with people and be able to take charge and make critical decisions．The position will involve managing relations between employees at the Tianjin branch of Ford Motor Company and their counterparts in the United States．Good telephone

informationD．care about employment trends．24．They say necessity is the mother of invention．While that might not be the case for every invention，most of coolest inventions are definitely useful．The levitating LightbulbThe US artist and scientist Simon Morris got the idea of making lightbulb float from hoverboards（悬浮滑板）．But the floating is not the most amazing part．It was done simply by putting magnets in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base．The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets does the job．What's new here is a technology called induction（电磁感应）．It allows the ligtbulb to get power from the base even when they aren't in contact．Shoes that tie themselvesThey're not what you think﹣shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them．Instead，the new shoes have small motors that control their laces．When you step in them，your feet will hit a sensor in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces．There are also two buttons on side of the shoes to tighten and loosen them so you can control the laces by yourself．They could actually give athletes an advantage during competitions．They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily．The no﹣touch thermometerMaybe，it's an impossible task for little kids putting a thermometer in their armpits and staying still for minutes．Now，using infrared（红外线） technology，scientists have invented thermometers that take the body's temperature without contacting the body．Users can simply put the thermometer 2.5 centimeters form a patient's forehead and press the button，and it can get the reading in two seconds．Not touching the body also means cleaner processes，since patients needn't worry about whether someone else has used the thermometer before．24．Which of the following about the levitating Lightbulb is true？A．It runs only by contacting the base．B．It gets power by floating from hoverboards．C．It works by the rejection force from magnets．D．It operates by using infrared technology．25．Who do you think possibly use self﹣tying shoes？A．Coaches participating in the sports meeting．B．The elderly whose fingers cannot move．C．Athletes who cannot run fast enough．D．Persons who are injured in feet．26．When used，the no﹣touch thermometer is ．A．quick and cleanB．modern but complexC．neat but inconvenientD．portable and fashionable27．What page of a magazine does the passage come from？A．Culture．B．Life．C．Medicine．D．News．28．"Freelance retail consultant"refers to daigou in Chinese，or overseas people who buy goods for customers in the Chinese mainland．It's estimated that there are 40，000 daigou in Australia，most of whom are young migrants or international students looking for ways to help cover their rent and university cost．These freelance retail consultants have created thousands of trading routes，both small and big，into China．Shops in Australia sold out of instant formula（婴儿配方奶粉），leaving many Australia parents unable to buy their preferred brands．The Sydney Morning Herald reported last year that half of Australia's infant formula sold went to China through customers selling to other customers．Because of this，daigou have received criticism from Australia media．The Sydney Morning post even suggested that the Australia government should put a limit on instant formula exports．However，not everyone dislikes daigou．"We think daigou are good for both the local economy…and they are very good for our business，"Peter Nathan，the chief executive of A2 Milk，a New Zealand infant formula maker，told Reuters．"We clearly believe they are a positive force．"Others agree that nothing is wrong with the practice．"People are buying these products legally on the Australia market…they're not illegally being exported to China，"Tim Foulds，head of research at Euro monitor Australia and New Zealand，told The Washington Post．28．Why do most daigou in Australia buy goods for Chinese customers？A．To improve living conditions．B．To satisfy import demand．C．To pay their expenses．D．To get sales experience．29．According to the passage，which of the following is right？A．Australian parents criticize daigou．B．Consumers prefer milk made in Australia．C．Australian government has limited exports．D．Different ideas about daigou exist in Australia．30．We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ．A．the practice of daigou will balance supply and demandB．daigou will probably be welcomed in New ZealandC．infant formula will grow in popularity in ChinaD．daigou will be a legal job in Australia soon31．What's the attitude of the author to Daigou？A．Supportive．B．Doubtful．C．Negative．D．Objective．32．Famous people have a lot of influence on cultural trends，like it or not．When Amal Clooney wears a Stella McCarney dress，sales go way up．However，one trend that seems harmless﹣﹣﹣but is actually damaging﹣is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with rare animals．Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals．This makes them easy targets for the often greedy amusement parks and fake animal centers．These businesspeople love the thought of sharing pictures of a star hugging a baby tiger or a whale．Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim to offer rare animals safety and are eager to see elephants paint，to hug baby bear or to swim with dolphins．However，it has shown that many of these businessmen are breeders，dealers or exhibitors that are using Hollywood's goodwill for their own ends．In some Asian countries，elephants are kept in camps．A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble，but the vast majority are not，and training methods are barbaric．As soon as the cameras are gone after someone like Prince William takes a photo with an elephant，the chains go back on．Fans，tell the stars：Stay away from rare animal photos，and the animals will be grateful．Of course，you don't have to be famous to make a difference．Whether right here at home or at a place abroad，every one of us must fight the temptation to take a photo with an elephant or hug a baby tiger．32．Why are Oprah and Amal Clooney mentioned in Paragraph 1？A．To introduce the topic of the passage．B．To promote the cultural influence on stars．C．To remind people how important the trend is．D．To show famous people's pressure from wild animals．33．What can we learn from the passage？A．The businesspeople offer chances to stars to get close to animals．B．Famous stars use photos with rare animals to make a difference．C．Businessmen take advantage of stars'goodwill to earn money．D．The kind and rich people are easily attracted to visit wild animals．34．What does the underlined word"barbaric"in Paragraph 3 mean？A．Effective．B．Cruel．C．Scientific．D．Kind．35．What is the passage mainly about？A．The number of elephants and tigers is increasing．B．Keeping away from animal pictures can protect them．C．People will be encouraged to take photos with animals．D．The famous may have a negative influence on cultural trend．36．Anger is a completely normal，usually healthy，human emotion．（36）The problems are at work，in your personal relationships，and in the overall quality of your life．This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger．You can't get rid of，or avoid the things or the people that cause you angry，nor can you change them．（37）There are psychological tests that measure the intensity（强度）of angry feelings．（38）．But chances are good that if you do have a problem with anger，you already know it．If you find yourself acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening，you might need finding better ways to deal with this emotion．（39） A number of things．One cause may be genetic or physiological：（40）And these signs are present from a very early age．Another may be sociocultural．Anger is often regarded as negative．We're taught that it's all right to express anxiety，depression，or other emotions but not to express anger．As a result，we don't learn how to handle it or channel it constructively．Research has also found that family background plays a role．A．How can you control your anger？B．What makes people become angry？C．You can use the measure to control your anger．D．However，you can learn to control your reactions．E．But when it gets out of control，it can lead to problems．F．There is evidence that some kids are born touchy and easily angered．G．You can know how likely you are to get angry，and how well you handle it．第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.

get power from the base even when they aren't in contact．Shoes that tie themselvesThey're not what you think﹣shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them．Instead，the new shoes have small motors that control their laces．When you step in them，your feet will hit a sensor in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces．There are also two buttons on side of the shoes to tighten and loosen them so you can control the laces by yourself．They could actually give athletes an advantage during competitions．They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily．The no﹣touch thermometerMaybe，it's an impossible task for little kids putting a thermometer in their armpits and staying still for minutes．Now，using infrared（红外线） technology，scientists have invented thermometers that take the body's temperature without contacting the body．Users can simply put the thermometer 2.5 centimeters form a patient's forehead and press the button，and itcan get the reading in two seconds．Not touching the body also means cleaner processes，since patients needn't worry about whether someone else has used the thermometer before．24．Which of the following about the levitating Lightbulb is true？ CA．It runs only by contacting the base．B．It gets power by floating from hoverboards．C．It works by the rejection force from magnets．D．It operates by using infrared technology．25．Who do you think possibly use self﹣tying shoes？ BA．Coaches participating in the sports meeting．B．The elderly whose fingers cannot move．C．Athletes who cannot run fast enough．D．Persons who are injured in feet．26．When used，the no﹣touch thermometer is A ．A．quick and cleanB．modern but complexC．neat but inconvenientD．portable and fashionable27．What page of a magazine does the passage come from？ BA．Culture．B．Life．C．Medicine．D．News．【考点】O3：广告布告类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了需要是发明之母，但是其实大多数最酷的发明绝对是有用的．【解答】24．C．细节理解题．根据第一部分But the floating is not the most amazing
