第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
2009The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow
men.
56．What is an unpunctual person like?
A．He always does a thing when it should be done. B．He is always very busy.
C．He always does a thing at the wrong time. D．He always keeps the appointments.
57．Why is unpunctuality very harmful?
A．Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B．Because it makes a man lose friends.
C．Because it makes a man work quickly.
D．Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
58．According to the passage, which is right?
A．The punctual person has no much work to do.
B．The unpunctual person is very rich
C．The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D．The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
59．According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party?
A．Arriving at the appointed time. B．Arriving before all other guests.
C．Arriving after all other guests. D．Keeping all other guests waiting.
60．Why is a person always unpunctual?
A．He is too busy. B．He has too much work to do.
C．He does care much about time. D．He doesn’t manage his time properly.
B
KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) - Nepal has given its security personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit early next month.
"About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."
Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential expedition materials, Dotel added.
"If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.
Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the world's highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which straddles(跨越) the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
The Nepali government has given permits to dozens of climbers from 30 expeditions this season.
But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit
sometime then.
Bad weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.
The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet China Mountaineering Association.
Almost every day in the past month, Nepalese police have arrested pro-Tibet protesters from in front of the Chinese Embassy and the United Nations offices. The demonstrators are released later in the evening.
Supporters of Tibet punish the government's attitude toward the autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.
Earlier torch relay stops in London, England; Paris, France; and San Francisco, California attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators. They led to attacks on the torch and relay participants, and prompted police to make dozens of arrests.
Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.
In Pakistan, authorities closed the relay to the public. And India shortened the relay and kept thousands of anti-Chinese protesters at bay by sealing off roads and shuttering buildings along the route.
The relay went smoothly in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, amid heavy security and scattered protests along the route.
The flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday. About 1,000 police officers will be on hand to watch for protesters during a relay in the capital city Kuala Lampur Monday. 61．When will China's Olympic flame probably reach Mount Everest's summit?
A．April 28 B．May 12 C．June 10 D．May 7
62．The underlined word “barred” means_____________.
A．permitted B．stopped C．encouraged D．introduced 63．How many times Climbers can reach the top of the mountain at most in May?
A．once B．twice
C．three times D．as many times as they can
64．Where did the torch relay meet no trouble?
A．India B．Nepal C．Tanzania D．France
65．What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards towards China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit?
A．negative B．positive C．ambiguous D．indifferent
C
Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain’s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe－the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously
a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.
“Ties offer a point of indifference,” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of entrepreneurs(创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people－but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat－in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the mo st powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”.
66．In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s __________.
A．personality B．social position C．wearing style
D．favorite hobby
67．In the business world, wearing a tie was necessary because _________.
A．it showed you used your brain B．it showed you got a good salary
C．it showed you were an employer D．it showed you were well-equipped 68．The underlined word “vanished” in this passage may mean _________.
A．sold B．washed C．appeared D．disappeared
69．The writer may hold the opinion that _____________.
A．Blair is the best leader in the world B．Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C．millions of people will go to work without a tie D．people will wear hats instead of ties
70．Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A．If you are a professional, you can’t wear a tie in Britain
B．The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future
C．It was the election of John F．Kennedy to the presidency of the United States that changed the fact that wearing hats as part of their business uniform D．Men across the western world didn’t wear hats as part of their business uniform until around 1960
D
What is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and
restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽视) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.
20090316
What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!" 71．The best title for this passage might be _______.
A．Education B．A Mastery of English
C．A Good Education D．Something About Study
72．The underlined word "drop" in the first paragraph means _______.
A．desert B．dislike C．decline D．neglect
73．The author thinks that the question about what a good education is_______.
A．has been answered fairly well B．hasn't been put forward yet
C．has been dealt with successfully D．has not been answered satisfactorily 74．Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability _______.
A．to read fast B．to write and speak well
C．to write clearly and accurately D．to listen and speak skillfully
75．Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?
A．Educational programs must meet the demand of a modern world.
B．The students will not get a degree unless they take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural
sciences and art.
C．A good education should include foreign language and the study of foreign culture.
D．Every student ought to take part in military training.

___________________________________________________________________________ 山东淄博六中11-12学年高三模拟考试英语试题(2) 参考答案
第二部分：英语知识运用第一节：语法和词汇知识
21．答案：D 此题考查冠词的基本用法，要求学生在学习过程中掌握一些含有冠词的用法的固定结构。

句意：我的邻居请我出去散步，但我认为我没有那份精力。

第一空为固定词组，go for a walk去散步，第二空特指散步的那份精力，故选D。

22．答案：C 主语collecting stamps as a hobby被看成是整体，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

而时间状语during the part fifty years限制了句子用完成时态。

23．答案：D本题为动词词组辨析的考查，整句话的意思是“令人吃惊的是，时尚的年轻妇女被证明是个小偷。

”find out意思是“发现”，prove out应删去out。

put out意为“扑灭”，turn out意思是“证明”，后常接“to be'’的形式，“to be”可以省略。

24．答案：C 主句America was后面的表语从句里缺少一个连词，并且这个连词还要在从旬中作主语，只有what才具备这两个特点。

what在从句中代表“事情，东西”等。

如：Do you know what happened to him?
25．答案：C本句的倒装知识的考查其实很简单，考生只要辨出“six miles west of Geneva”
为插入语，就知道空格后的句子部分为主语，看成是一个整体。

26．答案：D本题是词语的辨析。

day by day意为“天天”，强调事物的不断更新，day after day也为“一天天”，但强调事物的重复或反复。

27．答案：C 整个句子前半部分为虚拟语气，与过去的动作相反，而后半部分but提醒我们动作是事实，所以用was。

28．答案：B only too…to，just too…to，simply too…to等，后面的动词不定式不表否定意义。

A、C两项不合题意，可排除；D项much不修饰一ad这样的普通形容词原级。

29．答案：C本题较难，得认真分析句子的结构和成分。

若将词序调整一下可能会更容易明白，“T0 people around，Einstein must have to be mad'’，意为“对周围的人来说，爱因斯坦一定看上去是个疯子。

”A、B、D都必须用被动的形式，故均错误，appear表示“看上去”，不能用被动。

30．答案：A本题较难，可以用排除法。

as在此题中既作连词，又充当后半分句中的成分。

that 不能用于“，”之后，so在题中不正确，it在句中两分句缺少连词，故选A
31．答案：D此处be dad后面要接to。

若去不了，可以说But I'm afraid I’U very busy或Sorry，but I can't或I’d like t0 but I’ll be very busy等。

32．答案：B介词通常放在which和whom引起的定语从句之前。

关系代词that和关系副词when、where等都不能做介词的宾语。

该句中的restaurant为先行词，又因为work为不及物动词，所以该句应为关系副词引导的定语从句。

这里where=in(at)which，因而D项中的in是多余的。

33．答案：C bread和butter指“作早餐不可缺少的食物”，应视为单数的整体概念。

Serve 作及物动词，其被动结构表示“被用作”，故选C项。

34．答案：C might表示毫无把握的猜测。

can比may的肯定性要稍微大一些，must为实事肯定。

35．答案：C观察题干，空白线后无宾语，可知feel是不及物动词，表示“(某物)摸起来”的意思，是系动词，不能用于被动式，也不用进行时，根据此题对话情景，是指某种材料的常规特性，要用一般现在时，不能用过去时。

feel作“感觉，认为，摸”之义时是及物动词，可带宾语，有时态、语态等变化。

第二节：完形填空
36．答案：D. Roland和Sheila夫妇有三个孩子，从句末“two boys and baby Jessica”判断。

37．答案：A. 由于感染和别的一些问题，婴儿去年经常进出医院。

38．答案：C. 由于婴儿Jessica虚弱多病，医生对她是否能再活一年都没有信心（confident）。

afraid意为“害怕的”；satisfied 意为“满意的”；sad意为“伤心的”。

39．答案：D. 要照顾治好多病的Jessica开销很大。

短语动词thinking of意为“想到”；
getting rid of意为“摆脱”；knowing of“了解到”。

40．答案：A. 治好Jessica的病要用很多钱，所以这个家负债很深。

In debt“负债”； In danger “处于危险中”；In thought“在思考”；In surprise“吃惊地”。

41．答案：D. Roland处境艰难，他好象在隧道里看不到隧道尽头的光亮一样，觉得没有前景。

Entrance“入口”；bottom“底部”。

42．答案：C. 本句是广告词，招聘保安一般说“Security guards wanted”，即Security guards are wanted 的省略。

43．答案：C. 电话占线，所以Roland就一直打。

从本句前后部分（“The line was busy”
和“and finally got through”推断他在不断的打电话.
44．答案：A. 考查连词。

转折关系，他担心所有的工作被别人抢先得到了；但是还有。

45．答案：B. 从后一句看工作地点在Iraq，所以他们要在Texas对他进行两周的培训“training”。

46．答案：D. 他们将用飞机把他送到Iraq。

Invite“邀请”，公司派员工去工作，不是邀请。

Drive“用车送”，从美国到伊拉克不和情理。

Expect“期望”。

47．答案：A. 从后文“he might get injured or killed,”看出在Iraq工作是危险的（dangerous）。

Comfortable“舒服的”。

Easy“轻松的”。

48．答案：B. 工资丰厚而且全家可以获得全额的医疗救济金。

Roland在告诉妻子他去Iraq工作的好处。

Ho wever“然而”；Besides“而且”；Therefore“因此”；Otherwise“否则”。

49．答案：B. 非限制性定语从句修饰“full medical benefits”。

50．答案：D. probably“可能”。

句意“如果第一年他工作下来了，他可能再在那儿赶一年。

Luckily“幸运地”；happily“幸福地”；carefully “仔细地”。

51．答案：B. 丈夫要去危险的地方工作Sheila自然很担心（worried）。

Excited“兴奋的”；
satisfied“满意的“；d isappointed“失望的”。

52．答案：A. 从上句“What if you get killed? What are we going to do without you?”
看出Sheila担心，于是Roland劝她不要那样想（think）。

Guess “猜测”。

53．答案：B. Roland劝她要有信心，往好的方面想。

active “活跃的”；positive“乐观的”；hard“努力的”；honest“诚实的”。

54．答案：C. 艰苦工作，目的是拿回很多的钱。

55．答案：C. Sheila拥着丈夫哭泣。

Took“带领”；missed“思念”；left“离开”
第三部分：阅读理解
56．答案：C 事实细节题。

根据文章第 2 段第 1 句 The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time 可知，答案选 C。

57．答案：B 推理判断题。

根据文章最后一句 A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men 可知，答案选B。

58．答案：D 推理判断题。

根据文章第 2 段第 3 句 A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained time is more valuable than material things 可知，答案选 D。

59．答案：A 推理判断题。

根据文章倒数第 2 段可知，答案选 A。

60．答案： D 推理判断题。

根据文章第 2 段中间的一句 The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’ 及下文内容可知，答案选 D
61．答案：D 本题为细节理解题。

从文中But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit sometime then.可以判断中国奥运火炬到达该地的时间应为五月七日。

故答案D。

62．答案：B词义猜测题。

结合上下文我们推断，该词的意思为“禁止，阻止”之意。

63．答案：B 推理判断题。

从文章中的Bad weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.这句话可以找到答案。

故答案B。

64．答案：C 本题可以从文中Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.这句话中直接找到答案。

故答案C。

65．答案：B 本题为推理判断题。

由文中Supporters of Tibet punish the government's attitude toward the autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.这段可以推断，尼泊尔人对我们的态度是消极的。

故答案B
66．答案：B由文章第一段中“which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.”
以及第二自然段可以判定领带是“社会地位”象征。

本题易受A项干扰，本题涉及的是领带“最初”的象征意义，而非“现在”的象征，文章提到“They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”是说现在情况。

67．答案：A解析：本题是细节理解题。

由第二自然段中“So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands.”
可以推断出。

68．答案：D解析：该题为词义理解题。

结合上文“Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either.”我们不难推断“戴帽子”将不再流行，甚至会消失。

69．答案：C解析：本题为推理判断题。

A,B两项在文中均为提及，D项理解错误，因为文中作者只是用类比的方法介绍了“帽子”的现象，进而想引出“领带”也会出现类似“帽子”的发展趋势，并非是说明“帽子代替领带”。

结合全文C项为正确选项。

70．答案：C解析：本题为正误判断题，A项错误，可以从第二自然段直接找到答案；结合全文不难发现B项表达恰恰与原文相反，理解错误；D项表达错误，从“Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform.”很容易判断；故正确答案C。

71．答案：C解析：本题考查主旨大意。

纵观全文，不难发现作者围绕“What is a good education?”这一问题展开议论，而且在第一和第二自然段的首句明确交代这一主题。

A项扩大了话题范围，文章不是泛泛谈论“教育”而是谈论“好教育”；B、D两项概括片面。

故正确答案C。

72．答案：A解析：本题考查词义猜测。

结合上下文分析，由上句的change和后面的restart(重新开始)，可以判断出“drop”应含有和“重新开始”相反的意思，desert“舍弃、遗弃”，dislike“不喜欢、厌恶”，decline“下降、减少”，neglect“忽视”，故正确答案A。

73．答案：D解析：该题属推理判断题。

由文章第一段第二句“The question is far from being answered.”可知，“这个问题远远没有得到回答”，以及文章最后一句话可知这一问题没有获得满意的答案，所以正确答案D。

74．答案：B解析：该题属细节理解题。
