AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches,canals and coasts,which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots,especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads,Stradbroke Island,and Burleigh Heads,with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend?They might go for a ride on their boat!Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing,or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close,the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat,from shrimps (?r)to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland?A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to?A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy,cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms,so it’s the perfect time to do some baking,just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead(揉)bread dough(生面团). Suddenly,there is the sound of shouting,tears, a door slam,followed one of them calling,“Mom!He hurt me!”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too,ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared,but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So,who wants to help me bake some bread?”I ask brightly,ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring,”Tristan finally admits.“Okay,what would you like to make?”I ask.“Chocolate!”Sawyer yells,breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies!”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats,I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter,flour on the floor,and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate,of course,but,smiling ear to ear---and the mess,and their previous fight,is forgotten.As we close the curtains,we sit together on the sofa,and dig into the big plate of cookies,fresh from the oven,baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh?A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry?A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate,the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults,costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's National Health Service(NHS)will be offering a new solution:acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years,but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally,doctorsin the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However,there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation(脊柱推拿),or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK,acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment,which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks(牙签)which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage,which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph?A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately,some children can’t use these resources,even if they do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson,for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments(?网膜脱落),making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh,head of the Tactile Picture Books Project,has started printing 3D books,so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon,a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book,children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to,whether it is a cow jumping over the moon,a balloon,or a dollhouse.Generally,when children grow older,they read by using Braille,a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing differentletters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However,without these,visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed,plastic is layered(分层放置)repeatedly over a single shape:the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph2 mean?A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5?A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project?A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? (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。

app.D.Text and group chat.22.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?ers can always send and receive messages for free with WhatsApp.ers can share files with any of the three apps.C.KakaoTalk frees users from unwanted advertisements.D.Line is the most popular one of the three apps.23.In which part of the newspaper may this article be found?A.Advertisement.B.Economy and Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear,.A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?”my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated”mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?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。

ABig messagingapps abroadWhile WeChat is China ’ s biggest mobile messaging app,there are many equivalent apps in other countries that offer similar features.WhatsApp (US)Users:more than 600 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerryFeatures:text chat,push-to-talk,file sharing,location sharingWith more than 600 million active users,WhatsApp is one of WeChat’s biggest competitors.Developed by two ex-Yahoo employees in 2009,WhatsApp originally focused on text chat,but on Aug.6 it also started push-to-talk service.It ’ s noted for its accessibility,ease of use and the absence of adverts.The service is free for the firstyear,after which $0.99 is charged for a one-year subscription.KakaoTalk (South Korea )Users:more than 100 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerry and bada (an operating system developed by Samsung) Features:text chat,group chat,push-to-talk,group calls,file sharingWith more than 100 million users in more than 230 countries,KakaoTalk is a multi-platform texting applicationthat allows users to send and receive messages for free.With KakaoTalk,users can message each other one-on-one or in group chats with unlimited numbers of friends.You can also choose from many animated emoticons and share them with friends.Line (Japan)Users:more than 600 millionPlatforms:Android,iOS,Windows Phone,BlackBerry and PCFeatures:text chat,group chat,push-to-talk,file sharing,location sharing,gaming,stickersLine tops the list of the most downloaded free apps in 52 countries.Apart from text and voice messaging,Line provides its users with more than 250 original stickers and emoticons to buy from its own shop.In the first quarter of 2013 alone,it made $17 million just from stickers.The popular app also allows friends to battle each other in theLINE GAME.pared with the other two apps,which of the following features makes Line stand out?A.Group mobile games.B.Free emoticons.C.Free downloads of the app.D.Text and group chat.22.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?23.In which part of the newspaper may this article be found?A.Advertisement.B.Economy and Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I ’ m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,readthe news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming ( 宣布 ) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we ’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it ’ s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I ’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thingthat can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it ’ s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A. Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’ s favorite books.B.Acomfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily. C.The authorsometimes reads something about inspiration. D.Reading somethingstimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep. 26.What isParagraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”But. have you ever thought about this expression?When acat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in itsbloodstream.Although the cat doesn ’ t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn ’ t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it ’ s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadnesshidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’ t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don ’ t just go away.It ’ s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you ’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’ d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’ t exist,but they ’ll still be around.And at last you ’ ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear,.A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’ t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don ’ t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It ’ s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people ’ s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn ’ t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you ”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don ’ t these people realize that they’ re wasting your time?Maybe I ’ m the rude one for not appreciating life ’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards justdon’ t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don ’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail isa now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listenedto.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls . “Why areyou leaving him voice mail? ”my sister asked. “Just text him . ”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,abusiness’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially olderones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist ( 人类学家 ) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here ’ s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word“Exasperated”mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn ’ t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn ’ t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’ t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’ t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?第二节 (共 5 小题 ;每题 2 分 ,满分 10 分 )依据短文内容 ,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

2018年高考英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches,canals and coasts,which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots,especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads,Stradbroke Island,and Burleigh Heads,with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend?They might go for a ride on their boat!Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing,or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close,the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat,from shrimps (?r)to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland?A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to?A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy,cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms,so it’s the perfect time to do some baking,just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead(揉)bread dough(生面团). Suddenly,there is the sound of shouting,tears,a door slam,followed one of them calling,“Mom!He hurt me!”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh.My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too,ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared,but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So,who wants to help me bake some bread?”I ask brightly,ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring,”Tristan finally admits.“Okay,whatwould you like to make?”I ask.“Chocolate!”Sawyer yells,breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies!”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats,I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter,flour on the floor,and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate,of course,but,smiling ear to ear---and the mess,and their previous fight,is forgotten.As we close the curtains,we sit together on the sofa,and dig into the big plate of cookies,fresh from the oven,baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh?A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry?A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate,the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults,costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain's NationalHealth Service(NHS)will be offering a new solution:acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years,but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally,doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However,there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation(脊柱推拿),or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK,acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment,which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found thatsimilar acupuncture using toothpicks(牙签)which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage,which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph?A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for backpain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately,some children can’t use these resources,even if they do know how to read. Takethree-year old Elodie Bateson,for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments(?网膜脱落),making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh,head of the Tactile Picture Books Project,has started printing 3D books,so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon,a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book,children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to,whether it is a cow jumping over the moon,a balloon,or a dollhouse.Generally,when children grow older,they read by using Braille,a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing different letters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However,without these,visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed,plastic is layered (分层放置)repeatedly over a single shape:the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Braille letters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5?A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised ______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project?A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? (共5 小题,每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文容,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。

Anxious.B. Curious.C. Hopeful.D. Upset.26.What brought joy to the author?A. The victory of Atlanta.B. The work done for his son.C. The time spent with his son.D.

To go on a vacation.CMany people feel stressed out about buying and giving gifts around holidays.But have the holidays become too materialistic and more about the gifts than the feelings behind them?Throughout the world,many cultures mark holidays with gifts and food.Holiday traditions bring people together and allow us to feel a part of family and community.The gifts and food that we share are all about expressing a sense of appreciation and joy.The gifts of a few generations ago were probably more common and homemade.Even the people who could afford expensive presents probably didn’t do as much buying and spending as we do today.But with our culture growing more commercial,sometimes the original meaning behind the tradition gets lost.Not only is the pressure on spending money on the right present,but many people also find that when gifts become the focus of a holiday,it puts too much emphasis on receiving.It’s too easy to have high expectations of what’s in that beautifully wrapped box—and that can set anyone up for disappointment.No wonder we often hear about people having the“holiday blues”—feeling sad or empty.Not all people think the holidays are too materialistic,of course.Most appreciate the traditional aspects of the holidays.And some love shopping and are just fine with a11 the giving and receiving.But if you’re feeling a little empty about the holidays,what can you do? One key to a relaxing and meaningful holiday is finding what works best for you,both in terms of gift giving and other holiday traditions.Putting some thought into what the holidays mean to you and then focusing your energies on those aspects that leave you feeling most satisfied can help you let go of the stuff that may be stressing you out.28.What can we learn about the holiday gifts generations ago?A. They were valueless.B. They were highly valued.C. They were given little attention.D. They were more about expressing feelings.29.What is the result of focusing too much on receiving?A. Receivers are often disappointed.B. Gifts become the focus of holidays.C. Our culture grows more commercial.D. Much more money was spent on gifts.30.According to the text,how can we make holidays more meaningful?A. Avoiding giving and receiving gifts.B. Figuring out your real expectations.C. Doing some shopping in the holidays.D. Putting more thought into the gifts to give.31.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Changes in Giving GiftsB. What Stresses You out on Holidays?C. Are the Holidays Too Materialistic?D. The Development of Holiday TraditionsDAsking a patient to hum(哼唱)piano tunes and play fin instrument while undergoing brain surgery(手术)may sound like a strange request from a doctor.However,that is exactly what a team of brain specialists,led by Pilcher,requested Dan Fabbio to do.In 2015,the then 25-year-old musician was diagnosed with a brain tumor(肿瘤),which was located in the part of the brain known to be active when people listen to and make music.“Removing a tumor from the brain can have significant consequences depending on its location,”Pilcher says.“Both the tumor and the operation can damage tissue and affect communication between different parts of the brain.”Fabbio,therefore,feared the surgery would cause him to lose his musical ability.To prevent that from happening,Pilcher and his colleague designed many tests,including asking Fabbio to listen to piano tunes and hum back during MRI scans.This enabled the physicians to locate the area that is vital for music and language processing and create a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.Despite the great starting point,it was not a perfect way to prevent possible damage to the.The only way was to keep the patient awake and ask him to hum piano tunes during the surgery so that the surgeons could identify the areas to avoid.While the surgery went smoothly,the real test came when Fabbio was asked to play a song on his saxophone.The tunehad been simplified to ensure that it would not require too much strength and cause harm to the stitches(缝线)in the brain.He played it faultlessly,and when he finished,the entire operating room erupted in applause.The researchers say that a year after the groundbreaking surgery,the young musician can once again hear tunes in everything—even his electric toothbrush.32.What can we infer from P ilcher’s words in Paragraph 2?A. Fabbio’s brain was seriously damaged.B. The surgery would be a huge challenge.C. Fabbio’s brain parts failed to communicate.D. The surgery had to be performed immediately.33.What’s the major difficulty in Fabbio’s surg ery?A. To keep his brain active.B. To help him overcome fear.C. To protect his musical ability.D. To enable him to play an instrument.34.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Creating a 3-D map of Fabbio’s brain.B. Removing the tumor from Fabbio’s brain.C. Keeping Fabbio awake during the surgery.D. Listening to piano tunes during MRI scans.35.Why was Fabbio requested to hum piano tunes during the surgery?A. To save his strength.B. To check the surgery result.C. To make the stitches work easier.D. To locate the vital area for music.三、七选五Gratitude(感恩)is a social feeling.Many people see it as relationship—strengthening because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and recognized by other people.First,it’s belief o f goodness.We are convinced that there are good things in the world,gifts and benefits we’ve received.The second part of gratitude is figuring out where that goodness comes from.36.It doesn’t come from anything we necessarily did ourselves.Instead,we acknowledge that other people gave us many gifts to help us achieve the goodness in our lives.37.Of course,there are various important reasons.Here are some of them.Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present.38.We notice the positives more,and that enlarge the pleasures you get from life.Instead of adapting to goodness,we celebrate goodness.Gratitude blocks negative feelings.You cannot feel envious and grateful at the same time.39.If you’re grateful,you can’t hate someone for having something that you don’t.Those are very different ways of connecting to the world,and sure enough,research has suggested that people who have high levels of gratitude have low levels of negative feelings.40.That’s because when you’re grateful,you have the sense that someone else has provided for your happiness.You notice a network of relationships of people think it’s worthwhile to help you get to where you are right now.Realizing someone has seen the value in you transforms the way you see yourself.A.They’re contradictory feelings.B.It strengthens positive feelings.C.Gratitude heightens your sense of self-worth.D.Most of the time,it makes you feel confused.E.Gratitude allows us to participate more in life.F.So why gratitude has such effects on people’s lives?G.We recognize the sources of it as being outside of ourselves.第II卷(非选择题)四、短文改错41.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。

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t g et any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase“signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. An d while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes.

It used to be cal led the“year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year ar e often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship–young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to£15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.29.
