武威二中2018年高三年级每周检测英语试卷第一部分阅读理解(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。
AComparative thinking and behavior is quite typical among teenagers, but it is the responsibility of the parent to set limits and hold firmly to them. Frequently, a parent will tell me in frustration about how their child has complained about not having the very best in fashion design like their friends, or the latest electronic gadgetry that all the other kids own.Parents need to teach their children self-confidence. Those who are self-confident resist the urge to compare themselves to other people, and do not overestimate others' experience while diminishing their own. But some people may have a mantra signified by the slogan, if only. “If only I had the money of my brother; if only I was smart like my classmates; if only I was as good-looking as my friends.”Comparing oneself with others is a trap. People who compare themselves with other individuals tend to feel that they are not good enough. They tend to perseverate(表现执拗)about their shortcomings. Even if they try their best，it is not good enough because they can always find someone who performs at a higher level. When people compare, they generally focus on their negative traits. They ignore all that is going right in their life. They also tend to minimize their success and dismiss positive gestures and compliments.Those who are confident listen to their own inner voice. They are not influenced by other people's view of events. They are not overly impressed by others' success, money, health，and material possessions. They do not believe that others have a greater sense of emotional well-being than they do.Recently, The Har v ard Mental Health Letter published an article which indicated that people with chronic(慢性的)pain had as significant a sense of well-being as those without chronic pain. However, those with chronic pain tended tooverestimate the emotional well-being of physically healthy people. The study confirmed that it is how we view events that is important, not the nature of our circumstances which may include making comparisons.1. It seems that those who make comparisons don't________.A. care about their successB. have self-confidenceC. overestimate others' experienceD. understand others' success2. The third paragraph mainly tells us________.A. people tend to compare themselves to other individualsB. those who make comparisons focus on their strengthsC. those who make comparisons don't deserve complimentsD. making comparisons can cause many negative effects3. The article published in The Har v ard Mental Health Letter indicates________.A. chronic pain actually doesn't affect people's sense of happinessB. physically healthy people have a higher sense of happinessC. emotional health has nothing to do with physical healthD. what is important is the nature of events rather than our viewpoints4. What is the author's attitude towards “making comparisons”？A. Favorable.B. Unconcerned.C. Disapproving.D. Doubtful.B“Is it possible for Brownie not to be glad to be back after a happy stay at my uncle's？”Miss Gauss asked Dad.“It'll be all right. Give her a bit more to eat，”he said in a low voice, without tearing his eyes from Brownie while his wife was busy packing Brownie's belongings, saying，“Brownie is not so cute as her younger brother, Spotty. Take care of the little thing when walking him.”It happened on the night of July 10th, 2018 before the Gausses took a trip to Hawaii. They entrusted their pet to me because they thought I was the first person they'd confide in. And another intention of theirs was that I had already trained Spotty into a well-known pet in my community, which can act many tricks, such as “Sit down！”“Stand up！”“Give me your right hand！”“Turn around！”Shecan even sing, and, of course, that's just a strange sharp noise. Having seen them off, I took beautiful Brownie home in my arms, for fear that he would slip away.Brownie_was_the_kind_of_go-go_but_unsocial_baby,_so I tried many ways to be his friend, which made Spotty rather unhappy. They often fought a battle, seemingly to break my roof loose. Soon, Brownie turned out to be an agreeable family member. He was an endearing pet, often begging for comforts in my arms. I seized the chance to train him and he achieved a lot, which I texted Mr.Gauss. They were so overjoyed and decided to fly home ahead of time to see Brownie's qualitative change.But，all this was thoroughly destroyed because of Brownie's death in a traffic accident. What a poor little creature！He was really dogged(紧随) by bad luck, and he was saved from death shortly after his birth. For whatever reason，therefore, I was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, which seemed to run most deeply in me.The best way to cheer ourselves up is to try first to cheer somebody else up. That will be an everlasting pain in my heart, a wound that does not heal.5. What is suggested in the first paragraph?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Honesty is the best policy.C. A sign of tragedy.D. Background of the accident.6. Brownie went to the writer's home mainly because________.A. his owners would go on a tripB. he was just saved from deathC. he would be Spotty's husbandD. he would be trained7. When the writer says“Brownie was the kind of go-go but unsociable baby”，he means________.A. Brownie was active but unfriendlyB. Brownie was easy-going but unfriendlyC. Brownie was a pet that runs fastD. Brownie was active but homeless8. How did the writer feel after the accident?A. Regretful.B. Guilty.C. Sympathetic.D. Embarrassed.C“Hey, do you know what? Today is May Day！” my sister announced. “Do you remember the May Day baskets we used to make with colored paper and paste？”I recalled that my sisters and I would run around our neighborhood delivering the baskets brimming with spring flowers. We would place them on a doorstep, knock on the door, then run away. It was delightful to look around a bush and watch our friends open their doors and pick up the colorful gift，wondering who had left it out for them.I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge involving one of my dearest friends. She lived right across the road from our family, and we had walked together to school nearly every day since first grade.Her interests were starting to change from the interests that we had shared together. A new family had recently moved into our small town，and Pam was spending more and more time at their house.When my mother asked me if I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam's house, I responded angrily, “Absolutely not！” My mom told me that I would have many other friends throughout my lifetime. “But Pam was my very best friend ever，” I cried. Mom wiped away my tears and told me that circumstances change and people change. She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what we want to be. And sometimes that would mean that friends would choose to spend time with other people. I could express my forgiveness by giving her a May Day basket.It was a hard decision, but I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam's favorite color. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we watched from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn't forget me！”。

A. The Eiffel Tower. B. Statue of Liberty.C. Big Ben.D. The Sydney Opera House.CIt is easy to lose patience with science today．The questions are pressing: How dangerous is air pollution? What about low-level radiation? When will that horrible earthquake strike California? And why can't we predict weather better? But the evidence is often described as "uncertain", forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on science．When historians and philosophers of science listen to these questions, some concludethat science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon．The unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve．Because of the unstable and changing state of the earth's atmosphere, for example, scientists have struggled for centuries to predict the weather with precision（精确）but failed．The case is different for scientists of astronomy．For example, they think that the gravitational force of a nearby space vehicle, though tiny, is able to change the path of a much larger planet if the vehicle spends enough time close to it．With the aid of Newton's laws of gravitational attraction, ground controllers can predict the path of a planetary probe （探测仪）-or satellite-with incredible accuracy．They do this by calculating the gravitational force from each of the passing planets until the probe speeds beyond the edge of the solar system．A much more difficult task is to calculate what happens when two or three times of such force pull on the probe at the same time．Such procedures can, of course, be very difficult, but for experiments, they are effective．This range of questions-from simple problems to those impossibly complex-has resulted in nicknames for various fields of study: "soft" sciences and " hard " sciences．“Soft” sciences admit a great degree of uncertainty．Academicians tend to judge fields such as sociology, psycholo gy, and political science as “soft” because they are assumed to be understandable, of unnecessary mathematical accuracy, and concerned with everyday affairs such as interpersonal relationships．However, "hard" sciences, such as astronomy and chemistry, are said to offer precise answers．Precise definitions for "hard" sciences vary, but the characteristics of "hard" sciences include: producing testable predictions; performing controlled experiments; relying on quantifiable data and mathematical models;a high degree of accuracy and objectivity; and generally applying a pure form of the scientific method28.We can learn from the passage that ．A．a large planet is able to change the size of a tiny planetB．ground controllers can affect the gravitational force of planetsC．calculating the probe speeds beyond the solar system is possibleD．predicting the weather is more difficult than predicting the path of a satellite29.According to the author, "soft" sciences ．A．allow for certain inaccuracyB．focus on personal relationshipsC．are based on controlled experimentsD．are rooted in data and mathematical models30.What might be the best title for the passage?A．Science, a Long History?C．Science, Accurate or Not?B．Science and Its FunctionsD．Science and Its Application31.What is the author's attitude towards science in this passage? A．Objective．B．Sceptical．C．Disapproval．D．OptimisticDBritain’s private schools are one of its most successful exports．The children of the well-off flock to them，whether from China，Nigeria or Russia ：the number of foreign pupils rose by 1.4％in the last year alone．Yet foreign students，whether educated in British private schools or elsewhere，are decreasingly likely to go to English universities．According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England，307,200 overseas students began their studies in the country in 2012-13，down from 312，000 two years earlier and the first drop in 29 years．Student numbers from the rest of the European Union(EU)fell—probably a result of the increase in annual tuition fees in England from ￡6，000(＄10，000)a year to ￡9，000．But arrivals from India and Pakistan declined most sharply．In contrast to the visa system for private schools，which is extremely loose(the Home Office counts private schools as favoured sponsors)，student visas have been tightened．Foreign students used to be allowed to work for up to two years after graduating．They now have only four months to find a job paying up to ￡20，600 if they want to stay in Britain．This change was intended to deal with fake colleges offering two-year work visas．But it seems to have put off serious students too．Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute says the government has sent unclear messages about the sort of immigration it wants to restrict．Australia and America，which have more relaxed entry criteria for students，are becoming more favoured destinations．Britain’s student-visa system bas become more onerous(繁琐) overall．As a result，Britain is losing out to other countries in the contest for talent．Its unwelcoming attitude will harm its long-term development．And the drift of foreign students from leading British private schools to American colleges may have another, somewhat happier，consequence：America might become rather better at cricket(板球)．32.What causes the foreign student numbers to English universities to drop?A．Poor quality of higher education．B．The sharp increase of tuition fees．C．The poor economic situation in EU．D．Higher living cost in England．33.What’s the aim of UK tightening its student visas?[]A．To control the student number from India and Pakistan．B．To increase the financial income of UK．C．To send clear messages about the sort of immigration．D．To deal with fake colleges that offer‘two-year work visas．34.Why is it easy to get the visa from private schools in Britain?A．Because private schools have bad quality of education．B．Because graduates from private schools can earn￡20，600．C．Because private schools turn in more money to the Home Office．[]D．Because their students can work for two years after graduating．35.According to the passage，Britain________．A．is famous for playing cricketB．will get more talents in the future[学&科&]C．will simplify its student-visa systemD．will help US colleges to develop cricket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。
