高三英语周练试题第一局部阅读理解〔共两节,总分为51分〕第一节〔共12小题,每题3分,总分为26分〕阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C、D〕中,选出最优选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
AAs soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.1. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers _____.A. what a good first impression isB. how to make a good first impressionC. how long it takes to make a first impressionD. the importance of making a good first impression2. Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?A. Cross your arms or legs.B. Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.C. Go into the room more slowly than usual.D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.3. If you lean forward too much, it means _____.A. you are very boredB. you are too nervousC. you don’t have confidenceD. you don’t trust others4. What is the best title for the text?A. How to use body language to win an interviewB. How to answer questions in an interviewC. How to understand body languageD. How to deal with an interviewerBBEIJING — China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits〞 for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits. “It has harmed education equality,〞 the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said. Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek. But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,〞 said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.〞Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,〞 he said.5. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges6. What does the underlined word “gee k〞 probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student7. Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren8. What might be the best title for the text?A. “Extra credits〞 policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic competitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD. Chinese government to push education reformCEven the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person.Feelingdown?Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.No one promised life would be perfect.If you look for perfection,you’ll never be content.Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself.It is good to be ambitious,but you’ll never be perfect.If you expect otherwise,your life will be filled with disappointments.Success doesn’t happen overnight.Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly.It isn’t easy to be patient,but anything worth doing requires time.If you get frustrated,remind yourself why your goal is important.There is a lesson in every struggle.And once the storm is over,you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive.But one thing is certain.When you come out of the storm.you won’t be the same person who walked in.That’s what this storm’s all about.Don’t complain about how terrible your life is.If you search for the lesson in your present struggle,you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.Without hard times,you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones.Strength does not come from winning.Your struggles develop your strengths.When you go through hardships and decide not to give in,that is strength.It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail,but how else would you improve yourself?If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process,you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes.9.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A.Every person has to go through hard timesB.We can learn a lot from our strugglesC.We should accept the fact that life is not perfectD.Things to remember when you are having a bad day10.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Success will come quickly. B.Hard work leads to success.C.Success calls for patience. D.Confidence is the first step to success. 11.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that____________.A.1essons from struggles make us strongerB.all things are difficult before they are easyC.we should forget how we managed to surviveD.similar situations in the future will never appear12.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A.Hard times make us lose heart and be short of courage.B.Perseverance in time of hardships develops our strengths.C.Smiles when you fail will not help to improve yourself.D.We should try to avoid failures in the evolutionary process.第二节(共5小题;每一小题3分,总分为15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优选项。
高三英语周练试卷(四)I、阅读理解(本大题共20小题,共40分)AForget Cyclists,Pedestrians Are Real DangerWe are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from our readers.■Yes,many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade(避让)them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the welfare of others.―Michael Horan■I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists(Viewpoints,May 29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets,fluorescent(发荧光的)jackets and lights at night and in the morning.They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.―Carol Harvey■Cyclists jump on and off pavements(which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.Other road users,including horse riders,manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?It’s about time they had to be registered and insured,so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.―JMLWrite to Viewpoints of the newspaper.1. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that .A.drivers should be polite to cyclistsB.road accidents can actually be avoidedC.some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD.walking while using phones hurts one’s eyes2. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should .A.be provided with enough roadsB.be asked to ride on their own lanesC.be made to pay less tax for cyclingD.be fined for laughing at policemen3. What is a complaint of JML?A.Very few drivers are insured.B.Cyclists ride fast on pavements.C.Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.D.Horse riders disrespect other road users.4. The underlined word“they”in the third letter refers to .A.accidentsB.vehiclesC.pedestriansD.cyclistsBA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding﹣undoubtedly first﹣rate photo﹣journalism﹣if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian﹣built three﹣master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well﹣researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott’s last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world’s imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant﹣navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.5.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last weekB.They showed undersea sceneriesC.They were found by a cameramanD.They recorded a disastrous adventure6.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank HurleyB.Ernest ShackletonC.Robert Falcon ScottD.Caroline Alexander7.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creationB.Scientific researchC.Money makingD.Treasure hunting.CFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning,and play a significant role in a family or culture’s celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat―and when and how we eat them―are often unique to a particular culture or may ev en differ between rural(农村的)and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread,whether during a special occasion(时刻)or at the family dinner table,is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread,so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States,pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺)in the New Year.In Greece,people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake,which signifies(预示)success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child,and food can play a significant role.In China,when a baby is one month old,families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests.In many cultures,round foods such as grapes,bread,and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life,so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.8. According to the passage,sharing bread .A.indicates a lack of foodB.can help to develop unityC.is a custom unique to rural areasD.has its roots in birthday celebrations9. What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A.Trust.B.Success.C.Health.D.Togetherness.10. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by .ing examplesB.making comparisonsC.analyzing causesD.describing processes11. What is the passage mainly about?A.The custom of sharing food.B.The specific meaning of food.C.The role of food in ceremonies.D.The importance of food in culture.DDaydreaming was viewed as a waste of time.Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties.Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation,but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity.It can even help you achieve your desired goals.Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming.Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do.Researchers are finding daydreaming,they tell us,is a good means of relaxation.But its benefits go beyond this.A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.Dr.Joan T.Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth.It also improves concentration,attention span,and the ability to get along with others,she says.In an experiment with school children, the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details.They had more happy feelings.They worked together better.Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.But that’s only part of the story.The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be.Industrialist Henry J.Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming.He maintained that “you can imagine your future.”Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse.The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these famous achievers,it appears that their daydreams came true.Of course daydreaming is no substitute(代替者)for hard work.You have to work hard to develop skills.Daydreaming alone can’t turn you into your heart’s desire.But in,combination with the more usual methods of self-development,it might make a critical difference.And who knows:You might see your own daydreams come true.12.From the scientific research,a few minutes’ daydreaming will_______.A.relieve stress effectivelyB.improve gradesC.escape from real life and dutiesD.gain a positive attitudes towards exams13.According to Dr.Joan T.Freyberg,daydreaming can______.A.reduce failure in examinationsB.help rapid and continuous physical growthC.improve self-control and creative abilitiesD.benefit improvement of concentration14.What does “the story” in Par agraph 4 refer to?A.the attention.B.the conclusion.C.the contribution.D.the concentration.15.Nightingale and Edison are examples to explain that daydreamingprobably______.A.earn a good reputationB.take the place of hard workC.picture future professionD.turn the desire into realityEPractical ways to get motivatedBe mindful of your"why".If I need to clean the floor,but I really don't like cleaning,then I won't feel very motivated to do it.However,if I have a big enough reason to do it-because I'm having some guests to come over,or I love the feeling of having a clean floor,then that"bigger purpose"can be strong enough to get me to act,even though I don't enjoy cleaning.If I stay mindful of why I'm doing it,I can get motivated to do it.(16)______Celebrate your successes.It's easy to get down on yourself because you haven't reached your goal yet.You may overlook all of the hard work and small goals that you've accomplished.Remember to reward yourself and to celebrate your successes.(17)______ In the same way,how can you motivate yourself if you're not going to reward yourself and celebrate your successes?(18)______Imagine how good you'll feel when you've reached your goal.Take a moment and think about how you'll feel and what you'll think after you've achieved it.What does it feel like?(19)______ Focus on that feeling,and use it to drive you right now to move towards your goal.Just think of how good it will be.Get inspired.Read stories,watch movies,listen to other people who have achieved what you want to achieve.Imagine what they had to go through to get to where they are.Imagine how big the heart is of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what they achieved.(20)______A.Imagine having already achieved it.B.Get help and support when you're not feeling motivated.C.So remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing.D.What kind of self-talk would you use to motivate yourself?E.Let them inspire you to access your own great desire within.F.You might feel proud,happy,satisfied,or any other emotion.G.Would you be able to properly train a dog without rewarding him?II、完形填空(本大题共1小题,共30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从(1)~(20)各题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

She was really smallfor her age of 12. The boy in my class often 26 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.All I knew was that she was an orphan from Africa. She had just been adoptedby a family in town who 27 that the best way for her to learn American waysof life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 28 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.But how could I help her 29 in with us? There had to be a 30 .One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 31 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 32 copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 33 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzyhad 34 . “why, it’s wonderful,〞 said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 35 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 36 . Could you help me, Suzy?〞On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 37 were everywhere ---- all overthe hall and all over the school, each one different.“And finally,〞 said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we havea (n) 38 award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.〞 Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 39 them.〞I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 40 well?〞Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 41 this student worked so hardon the posters, she deserves a 42 ,too.

Where would you be most likely to find the two texts?A. On a notice boardB. In a company brochure.C. On a teenage websiteD. In a college newspaper.BWhen I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did.When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violinmaking, and then became a violinmaker at theage of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(清漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish---if that were the answer.One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce〔云杉〕, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.Later, the instrument was stolen.Dad’s spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments.But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.50. The author mentions his father’s developing color prints .A. to show that his father’s real interest was not in making violinsB. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted toC. to give an example proving that his father was an inventorD. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father51. What did the author’ father think about Stradivarius violins?A. The varnish was different from others.B. The way of making them was special.C. The wood of the violins was special.D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.52. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author’s father.A. liked the violin very muchB. got crazy after this happenedC. lost interest in instrumentsD. didn’t want to become famous53. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author.A. really hates the thiefB. misses his father a lotC.really wants to play the violinD. wonders who’s playing the violin nowCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.54. People who are unhappy.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things55. We can conclude from the passage that.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons56. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests thatpeople should.A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes57. In this passage, the writer mainly.A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD. tell people how to be happy in lifeDOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society〞 is not on the horizon---it’s already here.While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customerfor promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.58.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to.A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy great trust from the storekeeperD. cash money where he wished to59. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that.A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cadsB. credit cards are mainly used in the United States todayC. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashD. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before60. The phrase“ring up sales〞most probably means.A. make an order of goodsB. record sales on a cash registerC. call the sales managerD. keep track of the goods in stock 第二节〔共5小题,每一小题2分,总分为10分〕ing a proverb to tell us how to keep healthyB.Getting up early --- one good way to keep healthyC.The importance of sleepingD.Introduction to keeping healthyE.The importance of the blood in our bodiesF.The benefit of exercise61. __________Habit is something we do very often. We do not think when we are doing it.We can have good habits or bad habits. This text gives some advice on how to be healthy. It tells you what to do if you want to be healthy. It also tells you what you must not do. It talks about good habits and bad habits.62.Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Thisis an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must goto bed early and get up early in the morning. if we do, we shall be healthy,weshall also be rich and clever.63.Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep .Children ofyour age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, youcan not have enough sleep. Then you can not think properly and you cannot do yourwork properly. You’ll not be wise and you may not become wealthy!64.Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This isnot good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep properly. When daylight comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running,jumping, swimming,playing games are all exercises. If the body is not used, it becomes weak. Exercise keeps it strong.65.Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies. The brainsin our headsalso need blood.

HY2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)周测15第一局部:阅读理解〔一共15小题,每一小题2分,满分是30分〕AIt was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course〔道路〕 with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake〔追上〕her later on when she was tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don’t chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away—first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.1. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was runningenergetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.2. By saying “a long, punishing hill〞 (Paragraph 5) , the writer impliesthat _______.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task3. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a race.D. He should set a quicker pace atthe beginning of a race.BAn app that does nothing but send a simple notification(通知(tōngzhī))of “Yo〞 to recipients(接收者)is the most popular app right now in the US.The app,named Yo,reached No.1 in the Apple App Store in the US last week,after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $1 million(6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.Created in just eight hours by Or Arbel,a 32 year old app developer from Tel Aviv,Israel,Yo claims to be th e “simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world〞.With a single tap,users can send the word “Yo〞 to one another in a voice notification—and nothing else.Yo was launched on April Fools' Day this year but many people still see the app as a joke now,including some technology experts,like Polly Mosendz from The Wire and Judd Legum from Think Progress.David Shapiro,from The New Yorker,says now when he thinks about someone,he just “Yos〞 them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation. He says it's a great way of saying:“I'm thinking about you but I don't have anything in particular to say.〞Social media constantly demands our time and attention. Not replying to text messages and emails can hurt relationships. But,Shapiro says,a “Yo〞 doesn't seem to demand a reply. “What a relief,〞he says.Andrew Leonard,from The Salon,says “Yo〞also “expresses our most essential humanity〞.He says that the word “Yo〞is “a declaration(宣言(xuānyán)),first,that I exist in this world,and second,that I seek connection and community with something outside myself.〞It's like saying:“Yo...I am here. Is anybody out there?〞4. According to the passage,we know________.A. not everyone is in favor of YoB. Yo was launched on AprilFools' Day to fool peopleC. Yo has been used widelyD. not everyone can afford the app5. According to Paragraph 5, we can conclude David Shapiro________.A. doesn't like using YoB. thinks Yo can save timeC. thinks it's polite not to reply to text messagesD. dislikes using latest equipment6. What Andrew Leonard says means Yo______.A. is the simplest communication toolB. will be popularC. can express something deeperD. will be sold all over the world7. From the passage,we can infer________.A. Yo is far from satisfactoryB. Yo has many functionsC. Yo received little investmentD. it's easy to operate YoCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive (主管(zhǔguǎn)的) circle , beauty can become a liability .While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的,娇柔的) and has an advantage in traditionally female jobs , but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly pos ition appears to lack the “manly〞 qualifies required .This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks ,people treat men and women differently,〞says Anne Bowman , who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes .8. The underlined word in the f irst paragraph “ liability〞most probablymeans .A.disadvantage B.advantage C.misfortune D.trouble9. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics ,attractiveness .A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage thanan advantage to womenC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. affects men and women alike10. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty areoften .A.practical B.supportive C.old-fashioned D.one-sided11.The author writes this passage to .A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB. discuss the disadvantagesof being attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. state the importance ofappearanceDWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems andsome other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.12. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesn't give the explanation.13.It can be inferred from the text that .A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. emotional health has a close relationship to physical healthC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. crying does more good to health than laughing14. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Why We CryB. How to Keep HealthyC. Power of TearsD. New Scientific Discovery15. What is the author's attitude to "crying"?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Touched.D. Upset.第二局部:完形填空(一共(yīgòng)20小题;每一小题l.5分, 满分是30分)阅读下面短文(duǎn wén),掌握其大意,然后从1—20各题所给的四个选项里面,选出最正确选项。

The small even can help the great. To this effect he tells the following simple story.An ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperateefforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost exhausted, was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved withpity the bird threw her a blade(叶片) of grass, which supported her like a raft,and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herselfin the grass she heard a man approaching. He was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.56.

It was 1994, but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kernel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.〞AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to took after him.We couldn’t afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses wouldleave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someonewho cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attentionto AIDS. I do.60.

For example, the Japanese will say totravelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.〞In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many placesthere are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.〞People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?〞 you ask. “Oh,〞they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.〞 You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?〞They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.〞But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.〞 People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know〞 is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!64. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually______.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places65. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.66. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.A. in order to save timeB. Los Angeles.C. so as to be politeD. for fun67. What can we infer from the text?A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DTravel Tips from the Budget TravelerPlan in advance.Passengers planning to travel by plane or train should buy their tickets at least one week before the trip. You can save money that way. There are often special airfares and rail fares if you buy your ticket more than 7 days or 14 days in advance.Shop around.Not all travel agencies or airlines change the same amount of money for airline tickets to the same place. It’s a good idea to call several different places to get the best deal. Sometimes you can find really good flight prices on the Internet.Stay over a Saturday night.Some airlines offer low airfares if you stay over a Saturday night. This is because they want to attract the pleasure travelers. Pleasure travelers are usually able to stay over on a Saturday night. Business travelers usually want to be home with their families on Saturday nights.Take a boat.For some destinations, traveling by plane is not the only choice available. Most people travel from Japan to Korea or China, for example, by plane. This is because plane travel is quick and convenient. But you can make the journey by boat, instead. It takes more time, of course, but there are usually cheap deals for boat passengers—and you have lots of time to enjoy the journey.Travel with a friend or in a group.Traveling in a group is often a good way to save money. If you travel in a group of 10 or more, you can usually get a good deal from airlines. Also, whenyou rent a car, you can share the cost instead of paying for it yourself. In addition, sharing with another traveler can help get a cheap room price at a hotel.Join a Frequent Travel Program.Many airlines offer special programs for regular travelers. These arecalled “Frequent Travel Programs〞or “Frequent Flyer Programs〞. Every time you take their plane, you get points. When you have enough points, you can get free flights from the airline.68. A cheaper air ticket may be got by all of the following means EXCEPT ______.A. trying different travel agencies and airlinesB. buying a ticket ahead of timeC. buying a ticket on lineD. shopping around the city69. To get a cheap deal on a flight, which of these trips should you choose?A. Leave on Thursday and return on Sunday afternoon.B. Leave on Monday and return on Wednesday.C. Leave on Wednesday and return on Saturday morning.D. Leave on Friday and return on Saturday night.70.

We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything y et.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude(打扰)on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are trulyalone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.25.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A. He built shelters for them.B. He gave immediate first aid to them.C. He came to stay with them.D. He brought mental health professionals.26.What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A. He hesitated over whether to go.B. He went to his friends’ at once.C.

Relaxing and delightful.D. Very serious and unhappy.28.What has the author learned from his experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Being present can make a big difference.C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.CAmong the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They’re the ones who’ve already built up much internship(实习)experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co-operative program.Co-op programs, a feature(特色)of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co-op program. “It’s easy to understand,”said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or term-time freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months forgraduate students. “The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for im mi gration,”added the counselor. “That’s because the policies of many pro vinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applic ants.”29.What's the main characteristic of co-op programs?A. They offer a variety of jobs in all fields.B. They make academic credits easier to gain.C. Employers work with students on their studies.D. Students get work experience while at university.30.What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?A. Co-op programs are becoming more popular.B. The average salary for interns will increase.C. Co-op programs are open to all majors.D. Companies welcome foreign students.31.Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A. Business.B. Education.C. Lifestyle.D. Culture.DIt’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate(调节)its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures --- and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.32.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A. They can run more slowly.B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder.D. Their body temperature can get lower.33.How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly.B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runners’ stress.D. It causes heart attack.34.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars.B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise.D. Run late in the morning.35.What can be the best title of the text?A. Refresh with a Winter RunB. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a ParkD. Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Correct planting methods can help a tree grow healthily. 36 One of them is choosing an improper planting place, which may be harmful to the tree. Some soils aren’t good for planting some trees. 37 It’ll help you determine the kind of fertilizers necessary for the tree.Digging too deep or too narrow a hole is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree. If the hole is dug too deep, the roots don’t get enough oxygen supply, resulting in improper growth of the tree. Besides, a narrow hole won’t allow the roots to expand and support the tree firmly.38 Ideally, the planting hole for a tree should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball.To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch (护根) on them. First of all, it’s really important to select the right type of mulch. 39 In addition, we must use a proper amount of mulching. Over mulching may cause damage to the roots, while inadequate mulching may result in dryness around the roots.40 Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control.A. Different species require different planting places.B. Most newly planted trees die because of too much water.C. However, there are some mistakes we often make while planting trees.D. We should make our choice based on the plant species and the type of soil.E. So have a soil test before deciding on the planting place would be wiser.F. The most important thing is to monitor the growth of the tree on a regular basis.G. This may weaken the tree and its ability to stand up to unfavorable weather conditions.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)On a bright Friday afternoon in spring, Sumeja Tulic had every reason to enjoy walking in the streets of New York, a c ity she’d41 nine months earlier from London to attend a journalism school. “When the weather is good,it’s very hard to find a reason to be 42 or dissatisfied with the c ity,” she said.Yet her time in New York has coincided with endless ugliness.

They were very 53 to know that the train was coming. Will it stop?Will they 54 pulling him out?”On the tracks, the 55 man was held up to a sitting position by the three men, who then lifted him from below to 56 who dragged him from above and rolled him onto the Platform.

He travelled extensively and used the knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England. His experiences on his trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn(1849). In 1841 Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the 10 islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn(旅居)was a backdrop to the novel Omoo (1847). After three years away from home Melville joined up with a US naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket(1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy 15 seaman.With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white 20 whales, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of man against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic adverture to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.BAccording to the latest research in the United States, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tanmen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys' and girls' vonversations from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less definite than boys' and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners. These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts ---- although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲近,亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching isone job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence (因此,所以)more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre-programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.CChildren all around the world are familiar with fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid (小美人鱼),The Princess and the Pea and The Emperor's New Clothes. The colorful characters from the stories made us laugh and cry throughout our childhood.The stories are the creation of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. The year 2005 marked his 200th birthday. To celebrate, the China Pupper (木偶)Theatre in Beijing, held a series of shows based on his classic fairy tales.Andersen was born in the poor area of Odense, Denmark, on April 2, 1805. His early life was not easy. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. He received little early education. In 1816, his father died and Andersen was forced to go out to work, first in a tailor's shop and then at a tobacco factory. At the age of 14 Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. Andersen went to a grammar school after he left the theatre. Having done well he was admitted to Copenhagen University in 1828. He began to publish his fairy tales in 1835. They came out in small numbers until his death. Andersen died on August, 4 1875. His home in Odense is now a museum and thousands of people visit it every year.DMrs. Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find anything wrong with her, however. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs. Black’s doctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she could not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.Mrs. Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone when she went out to a ladies’meeting.When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, “Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you.”“Done all my shopping?” she asked in surprise. “But how did you know what I wanted?”“Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone,” answered her husband. “So I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down.”Of course, Mrs. Black had to tell him that what he had thought were all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat.46.

The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birminghamwere making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.24.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning?A. To bring Europe together again.B. To honor heroes of World War 11.C. To introduce young theater groups.D. To attract great artists from Europe.25.Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A. They owned a public house there.B. They came to take up a challenge.C. They thought they were also famous.D. They wanted to take part in the festival.26.Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?A. Popular writers.B. University students.C.Artists from around the world.D. Performers of music and dance.27.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival___.A. has become a non-official eventB. has gone beyond an art festivalC. gives shows all year roundD. keeps growing rapidlyIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think thatred, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.28.Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A. Blue, violet B. Yellow, greenC. Black, blue.D. Brown, white29.Which of the following statements is not true?A. Sociable people like warm colors.B. Warm colors can make people excited.C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.30.Which is the right color for different rooms?A. Red or orange for offices.B. Orange for dining rooms.C. Blue for bedrooms.D. Red for studies31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Two groups of coloursB. Cool coloursC. Warm coloursD. Colours and peopleMr. Black was the manager of a hotel in Atlanta. One weekend all of the hotels were full because of a large business meeting being held in the city. On Sunday night, three men came into Mr. Black’s hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Black told them that there were no more rooms available.The men didn’t know what to do because they had no place to stay in. Mr. Black wanted to help them. He remembered that there was an empty room at the far end of the first floor — Room 112. It was a very small room, and had rarely been used as a guest room before. So, he asked the three men if they would mind sharing that small room. They replied that they would be very satisfied so long as there was a room for them to stay in for the night.Mr. Black then told them that the room would cost them $ 30 in total. On hearing this, each of the three men gave Mr. Black $ 10 before they left for their room.However, Mr. Black soon began to think that $ 30 was really too much for that small room. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is $ 5. Give it back to the three men in Room 112. Each of them paid me $10. That’s too much.”The assistant took the money. While he was on the way to that small room, he thought, “How can three men divide $ 5? I’ll give each of them only $ 1 and keep the $ 2 left to myself. The men will be happy to get anything back, and I can also make some money that way. After all, Mr. Black will never know anything about it.” So, the assistant returned only $1 to each of the three men.Each man had first paid $ 10. After the assistant returned $1 to him, each man had actually paid only $ 9. There were three men. $ 9×3=$27. The assistant kept $ 2. $ 27 + $ 2= $ 29. Where is the missing dollar? 32.Why didn’t Mr. Black offer Room 112 to the three men at first?A. The key had been lost.B. It was too small for three men.C. No one had stayed there before.D. It was not bright enough.33.How much did Mr. Black first ask each man for the room?A. $ 30.B. $15.C. $10.D. $9.34.How were the manager and his assistant in behavior?A. The manager was honest but the assistant was not.B. The manager worked hard, but the assistant was lazy.C. The assistant was clever but the manager was not.D. The manager did not know how to make money, but the assistant did. 35.Where is the missing dollar?A. The three men took it.B. The manager hid it secretly.C. The assistant kept it.D. There is no mi ssing dollar.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。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校高三英语下学期第四周周练试题一.阅读理解CIn a mountainous area of Brazil, there is a kind of beautiful butterfly which can kill men. If people meet them, they will come down in great quantities to bite and kill, sucking blood and flesh through the wounds they cause.In June, 1966, a boy named Marl Andre who went into the mountains in search of butterfly specimens (标本) was killed by these butterflies.A country boy saw him as he was just about to raise his net to catch a butterfly. Suddenly thousands of butterflies came down upon him, covering him all over. The boy struggled and cried as he tried to free himself from their attack. Finally he fell senseless to the ground. Police examined his body and proved that he had died of bites by butterflies.In New Guinea, there is a kind of needlefish which also kills men. Needlefish likes light. At night, it will swim near the lights of fishing boats, then suddenly shoot out of water like an arrow to its target, and force its 3-inch sharp mouth into a human body. Often people are thrust in the eye, or through the chest or stomach, resulting in death. Sometimes it will even attack the people in a fishing boat in broad daylight.About 10 persons in the world are killed by sharks every year, yet more than 20 are killed by needlefish every month.28. From the passage, we know that ______.A. butterflies are living in the mountainsB. all butterflies like sucking blood and eating fishC. the more beautiful a butterfly is, the more dan gerous it is to menD. the butterflies in a certain part of Brazil can kill men29. Mari Andre was killed when he ______.A. went to BrazilB. entered the mountainsC. tried to catch a butterflyD. raised a net30. Needlefish comes out ______.A. sometimes at nightB. usually in the daytimeC. only when boats appearD. both at night and in the daytime31. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Brazil Home of Dangerous ButterfliesB. New Guinea—No Fit to Live inC. Killer Butterflies and NeedlefishD. Deaths Caused by Butterflies and NeedlefishDThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects.Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contactwith them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especiallywhen someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.32. People who are unhappy ________.A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things33. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” probably means“________”.A. have a good attitude towards social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend to scold others openlyD. enjoy thepleasure of life34. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A.we should pity all unhappy people B.unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC.people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD .unhappy people can not understand happy people 35. If such unhappy people insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_____A. not have any communication with themB. show no respect for themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effects of their habitsD. quarrel with them until they realize their mistakes 二.七选五Are you truly happy?

B.Great creativity.C.Average quality.D.Outstanding ability.31.What is probably the main purpose of the author in writing the text?A.To introduce new forms of learning and training.B.To explain how people learn and work nowadays.C.To state human beings’advantages over machines.D.To deny the general rule of measuring competence.DThey say the average person makes 35,000 decisions a day.Yet in her new book,How Woman Decide,Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice.“There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers,”explains Therese,a psychologist from Seattle University.Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf:At one end,there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker—all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes.At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence.“Once those women are at the table,will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s?”Therese wondered.“Men are respected as decision makers more than women,especially in the workplace,largely because there’s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choicesat work.”So,Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found.“Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equally.The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years-teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys.Otherwise,there’s little difference between the genders(性别).”However,there are some differences.“Women are more collaborative(协作的),”says Therese.“A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice.Women ask for input,which helps make better decisions.However,this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress,men and women make different choices,and the outcomes are often better when women are involved.Study after study backs this view up.Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall fromthe University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found thatin times of stress,they react very differently.During their study,which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博)game,they found that when the females became stressed,they made smart decisions—quitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets.But when the men became stressed,they did the opposite,risking everything for a slim chance of a big win.32.Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?A.Women are less respected as decision makers.B.Women are not equally treated in workplaces.C.Women are unable to make smart choices.D.Women are poor at making big decisions.33.What is women’s weakness in decision—making according to Therese Huston?A.Men can make quicker decisions than women.B.Women easily get stressed when making decisions.C.Women are likely to ask for input when making decisions.D.Teenage girls are 1ess able to make decisions than teenage boys.34.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Women show less confidence in times of stress.B.Men tend to make risky in times of stress.C.Men demonstrate great bravery in times of stress.D.Women quit making decisions when ahead in games.35.What’s Therese’s final conclusion according to the text?A.Women are brilliant as decision makers.B.Men are weaker in making smart decisions.C.We should give up all cultural beliefs about gender.D.Great difference exists between the two genders in decision—making.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。
