2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. ―Is this your car ,Paul?‖ he asked. Paul answered, ‖ Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.‖The boy was surprised. ―You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything?‖―Boy, I wish …‖ he hesitated.(犹豫)Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.―I wish,‖ the boy went on, ― that I could be a brother like that.‖ Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said, ―Would you like to take a ride in my car?‖―Oh, yes, I’d love that.‖After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, ― Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?‖Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again, ‖Will you stop where those two steps are? ‖ the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother。

What made the score 23 hard for the team’s fans to take was the fact that it was made while their goalie was still on one knee with his 24 bowed in prayer.There is certainly a(an) 25 for prayer, but this poor man learned the hard way that there is also a time for action.

The heavy doors were blown 30 so that they careened（倾斜）up to the front of the sanctuary（避难所）and destroyed the chancel area. Windows were blown out, chairs were 31 ,and the balcony fell down.Dr. Ken Bailey, stopped by to 32 the damage. It took little time to determine that the priest was in shock and unable to make necessary 33 .So Dr. Bailey took it upon himself to ask the administrators at the school where he taught to close classes , and he invited the 34 to join him in helping the priest. They cleaned the church and boarded the windows to 35 stealing.The following day, Bailey again 36 on his friend. The maid confided in him that the priest did not 37 at the bomb’s destruction.

Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难）can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply，otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe ，asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—a potential to live, you might call it—which I didn’t see，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. I f I hadn’t been able to do that，I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping，intricate（错综复杂的）pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt.”I can’t use this.” I said.” Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head.” Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time.I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.41.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. The author wouldn’t love life if the disaster hadn’t happened.C. The disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D. The disaster strengthened the author’s desire to see.42.What’s the author’s biggest difficulty?A. How to adjust himself to reality.B. Building up assurance that he can fit in life.C. Learning to manage his life alone.D. How to invent a successful variation of baseball.43.The underlined words” a chair rocker on the front porch” in Paragraph 3 means that the author ________ .A. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his lifeB. would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chairC. would lose his will to struggle against difficultiesD. would sit in a chair and stay at home44.As can be seen from the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man ________.A. hurt the author’s feelingB. gave the author a deep impressionC. directly led to the invention of ground ballD. inspired the author45.Which can be the best title for the passage?A. A Miserable LifeB. Struggle Against DifficultiesC. A Disaster Makes a Strong PersonD. An Unforgettable ExperienceBNowadays, the food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well，especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945，government researchers realized that nitrates，commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes，but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration（FDA）has tried repeatedly to control these procedures，the practices continue.46.Which of the following statements is NOT true？A. Some additives are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.B. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for about sixty-eight years.C. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.47.How has science done harm to mankind?A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.D. Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.48.What are nitrates used for?A. They preserve the color of meats.B. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.49.The word“carcinogenic”most nearly means“________”.A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. cancer-causingD. money-making50.Which might be the best title of the passage？A. Drug and FoodB. Food and HealthC. Cancer and HealthD. Health and DrugCPatti Page，the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd，2013，when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example; it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa，Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program.At age 20，Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948，she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including：“With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming”, and “Old Cape cod”.Her last hit was “Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte”，recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then ,there was” Doggie In The Window”. The creative tune was a huge hit，but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics（歌词），the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s，Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program，“The Big Record”. The following year，Page appeared in her own CBS television series，“The Patti Page Show”. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century，most recently releasing an album of songs for children， a Christmas record, and a new” best of ”collection.Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in” Elmer Gantry”, and also starred on stage in the musical play” Annie Get Your Gun”.51.From the passage，we can know that Patti Page________.A. wanted to be an actress when youngB. was a success in commercial artC. was born in 1927 in the USD. started his work as a TV program hostess52.Which of her following recorded songs was criticized？A.“Old Cape Cod”.B.“Hush...Hush，Sweet Charlotte”.C.“Doggie In the Window”.D. “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreami ng”.53.The“Tennessee Waltz” is mentioned in the passage in order to prove that _________.A. she was a beloved singerB. her songs and acting were successfulC. she was the top-selling female artistD. she was good at acting54.Patti Page _________.A. got to know Jack Rael in 1945B. left Mercury Records at the age of 35C. appeared in” The Patti Page Show” in 1957D. began to act in the 21st century55.We can draw a conclusion that _________.A. Patti Page was a successful singer as well as a successful actressB. Patti Page gave up singing in public when she was oldC. Patti Page’s gift in art began to be shown in her teensD. Patti Page’s great success resulted from others’ helpDMy grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word“shmily”in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving“shmily” around the house, and as soon as one ofthem discovered it，it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged“shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal.“Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where“shmily” would pop up. Little notes with“shmily” were found on car seats，or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily”was written in the d ust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love—one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life：my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day，what we all feared finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.”It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet （花束）. As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave，Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came；S-h-m-i-l-y：See How Much I Love You.56.Where may the word“shmily”be found？a. in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse. on the furnitureA．a，b B．b，c C．a，d D．b，e57.The author tells us in the first paragraph _________.A. what the word“shmily”meansB. how the special game was playedC. how the author felt about her grandparents’ gameD.how her grandparents cared for each other58.The underlined phrase” pop up” in Paragraph 1 means _________.A. appearB. changeC. surviveD. work59.It can be seen from the passage that the author __________.A. thought the game was meaninglessB. believes everyone can experience true loveC. doubted the existence of true love at firstD. sometimes left“shmily”around th e house60.Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by __________.A. singing songs to her every dayB. painting the room yellowC. encouraging her to go outsideD. helping her take a hot shower every dayEMcDonald’s is the owrld single biggest foo d provider with annual sales of around ＄12.4bn. And the company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino，California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Dick McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war，baby-boom marker for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954，the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur，a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to theMultimixer，milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later，Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’ chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around ＄70m （￡44m）.Dick remained with the company until the Seventies，when he and Kroc Fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation.Today，an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984）at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac（1968）and the Egg McMuffin （1937）；and helped launch Ronald McDonald-“in any language he means fun”-on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India（vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace）and Israel（non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as” If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”61.What’s th e main idea of the passage？A. Where can McDonald’s go in the future？B. How McDonald’s was founded.C. How McDonald’s was distributed to the world.D.

Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame.C. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.65.Which statement is true according to the passage?A.

It was an 36 referral in that no information was received 37 her first appointment. I was told to ―play it by ear‖, and to38 what her problems were and what she needed.39 an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed, 40 rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so 41 to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she 42 making important changes in her life.The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began oursuccessful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick, 43 a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was ―paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)‖, with a 44 that she was ―hopeless‖.That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper.I never treated her as if she had that ―hopeless‖ treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about 45 such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult 46 .

Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, a cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. ―Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable materials that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,‖ he says. For example,organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(等同物).Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influentialtrade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. ―Main-stream is about to occur,‖ says Hahn.Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that eco-fashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied, ―Not that I’m aware of.‖ Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for ―cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.‖ By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be. 【1】What is said about Future Fashion?A. It inspired leading designers to start going green.B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.【2】According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that ________.A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materialsB. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materialsC. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materialsD. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available【3】We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion ________.A. can attend various trade shows for freeB. are readily recognized by the fashion worldC. can buy organic cotton at favorable pricesD. are gaining more and more support 【4】What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward eco-fashion?A.

It will appeal more to young people.CBEIJING—As China scrambles to respond to the choking smog that has blanketed Beijing in recent weeks, authorities in several major cities are experimenting with carbon trading platforms. The schemes are one effort to get control over greenhouse gases in an economy still hungry for cheap energy.It has been a persistent concern in recent years, but the spiking pollution levels in January are sparking a public outcry.Emissions from coal-fired electricity plants and busy factories are part of the problem that officials hope to get control over through carbon trading platforms. Seven cities are expected toopen carbon markets later this year, including Tianjin.―The government has decided to start with programs because the carbon trading i s something new to China,‖ said David Tang, secretary of the board of the Tianjin Carbon Exchange. ―So we want to have a number of programs to explore the use of the market.‖ said Tang.China wants to launch a national carbon trading program by 2016. If it is successful, analysts say, the program would be one of the largest in the world and would help the country meet its target of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 45 percent within seven years.The platforms allow companies to earn credits for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, which can then be traded. If it works, it would encourage for-profit businesses to invest in green technology.As public concern builds pressure for the government to find a solution, Wu Changhua, greater China director of the Climate Group, says there is a broad shift under way in how Chinese weigh their quality of life.China has long put economic growth ahead of environmental concerns, making it the world’s biggest polluter. Carbon trading supporters hope that the markets could be one way to curb pollution and keep the economy growing.【1】Which of the following is TRUE about carbon trading platforms?A.They are used to trade various resources.B. They caused the choking smog in China.C. They have been in existence for many years in China.D. The choking smog may promote their development.【2】The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means ― ______‖.A.to make blanketB. to cover somethingC. to make something emptyD. to be like a blanket【3】Tang’s att itude towards carbon markets is ______.A. unknownB. indifferentC. optimisticD. pessimistic 【4】What can we infer from the passage?A. China will have built a national carbon trading program by 2016.B. Chinese have lived a life of high quality in all aspects.C. The markets could slow the development of economy.D. Standards of life will be changed in China.【5】What's the main idea of this passage?A. The choking smoke in China.B. The urge for carbon trading platforms.C. Greenhouse gases.D. The world’s biggest polluter.PART FOUR WRITING (45%)SECTION A (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A professor of environmental health and his students began studying the idea of rooftop gardening for cities. ―I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,‖ said Despommier.Why would we want to build skyscrapers filled with vegetables when we’ve been farming on the ground for 10,000 years? Because as the world’s population grows—from 7 billion now to asmuch as 9 billion by 2050—we could run out of productive soil and water. Most of the population growth will occur in cities that can’t easi ly feed themselves. And the fact is that modern agriculture as well as everything associated with it – chemical fertilizers and transportation full of carbon—is a significant contributor to climate change, and suddenly vertical farming doesn’t seem so magic in the sky.―V ertical farming could allow food to be grown locally and sustainably,‖ says Glen Kertz, CEO of Valcent. The result saves space — vital in urban areas — and allows farmers to irrigate and fertilize with far less waste.At Valcent’s El Pas o lab, crops grow in rows on conveyor belts. Moving them gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients needed, letting them grow 15 times as much vegetable as on a normal farm with 5% of the water that traditional agriculture does.Despommier plans to build a 30-story, city-block-size vertical farm that would have transparent walls to maximize sunlight and would produce enough food for 50, 000 people. But it would cost hundreds of millions to build a full-scale skyscraper farm. That’s the main drawback: construction and energy costs would probably make vertically raised food more costly than traditional crops.SECTION B (10 %)Directions : Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.When older honeybees take on tasks usually handled by younger bees, aging of their brains is effectivelychanged, a new study finds. The discovery suggests that in humans, social involvement ought to be consideredin addition to drugs as a way to treat age-related dementia(痴呆).―We knew from previous research that when bees stay in the nest and take care of larvae—the beebabies---they remain mentally able as long as we observe them,‖ explained Gro Amdam, who led the researchat Arizona State Unive rsity. ―However, after a period of nursing, bees fly out gathering food and begin agingvery quickly.‖―After just two weeks, foraging(觅食的)bees have worn wings, hairless bodies, and more importantly,lose the brain function—-basically measured as the ability to learn new things,‖ Amdam said in a statement.Amdam and his colleagues wanted to find out what would happen if they ―asked‖ the foraging bees totake care of larval babies again. To find out, they removed younger nurse bees from a nest, leaving the olderforaging bees to face a choice: forage or care for the larvae. Some of the older returned to searching for food,and others switched to caring for the nest and larvae.

2014年高考高三年级英语模拟试卷_适用于新课标全国卷
2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。
