高三英语周练(1)试题 命题人:考试时间:50分钟总分:89分 Ⅰ. 阅读理解(满分39分) A Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you! La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must________. A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 2. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia. D. In China.

2019-2020年高三高考模拟(一)语文试题 含答案

2019-2020年高三高考模拟(一)语文试题含答案 一、现代文阅读(9分,每小题3分) 一本在中国遭到冷遇乃至唾弃的书,在日本却成为畅销书,人们竞相阅读——100多年前《海国图志》的命运,为中日两国此后的命运埋下了伏笔。 《海国图志》由魏源在1842年著成。这一年对中国意义深远:鸦片战争战败,清政府签订不平等条约,割地赔款,国门洞开。进士出身的魏源很早就产生了改革内政的经世思想,鸦片战争的溃败,更使他深刻认识到了解西方的紧迫性,于是迅速调整了自己的经世目标,转而走上了“师夷”的道路。 照理说,《海国图志》在这样一个败世颓局中出现,应该引起很大反响才是。该书的宗旨是让中国人“睁眼看世界”,正为当时寻求救国大计的人打开了了解西方的窗口,理应畅销走俏。 然而,历史却一波三折。中国社会科学院研究员雷颐评价称,在当时,愚昧排外,“天朝上国”的妄自尊大观念主宰着“世道人心”,由于为“夷”所败,不要说“师夷”,连谈海外之事都成为禁忌。但《海国图志》却并未就此埋没。历史的吊诡,使它在一衣带水的日本,激起了一场巨浪。 由于在国内无人问津,当时有些书商开始尝试在邻国日本打开这本书的市场。到1859年,同样一部书的价格涨了近3倍。《海国图志》在日本迅速畅销,成为日本官员和学者共同研读的一部“有用之书”。 更为重要的是,当时日本著名的维新思想家佐久间象山利用《海国图志》提供的世界知识,结合日本实际,提出了维新改革主张,拉开了日本明治维新的序幕。据雷颐介绍,2011年3月,在北京召开的“中日交流与中日关系历史考察学术研讨会”上,日本学者落合弘树在其学术报告《明治维新与中国——幕府维新的日本和中国》中明确指出“以图独立的佐久间象山‘和魂洋才’的想法,大部分是从魏源的《海国图志》中得来的”,充分肯定了《海国图志》对日本明治维新的重要贡献。 《海国图志》墙内开花墙外香的命运不禁让人感叹。而对出版物和以出版物为载体的思想的态度之差别,为中日两国现代化进程的巨大差异埋下了伏笔。 在雷颐看来,中国自古就是东亚文化的中心,对周边的国家有着强烈的文化辐射力和影响力,这也造就了千百年来国人传统意识中的文化优越感,无形之中形成了一个巨大的文化包袱。由此,当长期处于文化优势地位的中国第一次遭遇西方文化的冲撞时,优越已久的国人习惯性地将西方列强视为蛮夷之邦,根本没有意识到这样一种富有生命力的文化的先进性,“师夷”便成为无稽之谈。同样的,在以后的每一次变革中,妄自尊大、盲目排外的清政府
