2021年高三上学期英语周练试卷12.9 含答案
丰城中学xx学年上学期高三周练试卷英语（1--45班）刘艳红高三英语备课组（2015-12-09）考试时间16:10-----17:20 (重点班不做D篇)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共1 5小题：每小题2分，满分30分）ACoffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1. What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To bee more awake.B. To bee more healthy.C. To bee more happy.D. To bee more clever.2. How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.BMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son . Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work , doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem and was q uite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the baptismal (洗礼)ceremony，of course.On the day of the baptism , Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the ha ll. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister youare! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She could n’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mo uth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddently turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …4. Shaindle didn’t visit her sist er after her sister gave birth because .A. she envied her sisterB. she lived too far from her sister.C. she was too busyD. she didn’t feel quite herself5. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many years.B. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleC . Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years.D. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-law.6. The purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. words can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should try to forget unpleasant thingD. two sisters’ different experiences7. The undeflined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means .A. be impolite to somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. make fun of somebody.CPeople laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel unfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears （落泪者） is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedywas the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive （适得其反）．Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others（as a crying baby might from its mother）, the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vocal （出声的） cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention．So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical position of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion ，containing no such substance．Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kast and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome（综合征）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．8．What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to ? A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical position of tears．D．The tear shedder' s apology and the observer' s effort to stop the crying．9．It is known from the first paragraph that____．A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericansB．crying may often result in tragedyC．crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed10．What does the author say about crying?A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．B．It must have a role to play in man' s survival．C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．D．It usually produces the desired effect．11．From the passage we can infer that____．A．it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB．we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC．shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudlyD．unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survivalDWhenever people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy．However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user．By using Everyclick．, which is being added to a number of university puters across the UK, students can raise money every time they searc h, but it won’t cost them a penny．Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity．This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own ine．19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than 5,000．With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible．Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick． to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "Wugging" grow in popularity with students．"When you're at university you bee more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth．"Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny．" Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don' t feel they have the means to do so．Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing themanything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding．Everyclick． works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks．Everyclick． then makes monthly payments to every registered charity．Launched in June xx, Everyclick． is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK．12．According to the passage, "Wugging" is actually____．A．a charityrelated action B．a websiteC．a school organization D．a student movement13．In the case of charity, Everyclick．____．A．receives much money from students B．frees students of the financial worriesC．offers valuable information to students D．praises students for their money-raising14．From the passage, we can conclude that____．A．most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B．Everyclick．is the busiest charity website in the UK C．Everyclick． helps students pay for further education D．"Wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．"Wugging", a popular term on the InternetB．Students collect money for charity by " Wugging"C．More British charities benefit from the InternetD．Charity enjoys increasing popularity with the British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。

高三英语周测15试题(共18页)
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.

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. The writer suggests taking a boat from Japan to Korea mainly because ______.A. it’s comfortable to take a boatB. the scenery on the sea is beautifulC. it’s cheap and you can enjoy the journeyD. it is not far from Japan to Korea第二卷Ⅰ. 单词(dāncí)拼写71.

Exercise plus a healthy diet.BWhen I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be fortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about wh y he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that itwas because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough— it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.4. The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because__________.A. she couldn't talk with her motherB. her mother made her nervousC. her father wanted to teach herD. she didn't trust her mother5. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her___________.A. happyB. disappointedC. satisfiedD. uneasy6. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?A. Her Dad was a chatty person.B. Her Dad was the best teacher.C. Her Dad liked modern music.D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.7. With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that___________ .A. fathers love their daughters dearlyB. family members need real municationC. mothers are less patient than fathersD. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipCBarack Obama has really gone wild. The US president has taken part in the survival television show Running Wild With Bear Grylls, which will air on NBC later this year. In the show, Obama goes on an adventure with host Bear Grylls, learning how to survive in the Alaskan wilderness.Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls, 41, has bee known around the world as one of the most famous outdoor adventurers. The Briton has appeared on a number of wilderness survival shows in which he has climbed, sailed, and eaten bugs or cow tongue.Obama doesn’t have to eat bugs or cow tongue on h is adventure with Grylls. But he does have to eat leftovers - a bloody salmon (三文鱼). It was partly enjoyed by a bear that left some meat behind.Although he is far from the White House kitchen, Obama seems to enjoythe outdoors. “As president, I am in what’s called the bubble（保护膜）, and the Secret Service makes sure that I’m always out of danger... but I sometimes want to get out,” he said in a video.However, Obama’s appearance on the show isn’t just for fun. He took part to raise awareness of the effect gl obal warming has had on the US’s largest state, Alaska.8. On his adventure, Obama______.A. has to eat something strange like bugsB. enjoys cow tongue with GryllsC. takes in some unusual foodD. never has any difficulty9. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. Obama has been tired of the life in the White House presidents have never been in danger because of the Secret ServiceC. the food prepared in the White House is not as good as the food outdoorsD. the life outside the White House is sometimes attractive to the president10.The purpose of Obama’s appearance on the show is _____.A. to have some funB. to promote environmental protectionC. to enjoy the wilderness in Alaska.D. to get out of the White Housefor a change11.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Grylls is the most well known outdoor adventurer around the world.B. The TV show with Obama’s appearance is now on air on NBC.C. Obama learns how to survive with host Bear Grylls in African wilderness.D. Grylls has special abilities to survive in the wildDWhy are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure bees an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower stand ards. A mother describes her child’s hasty-made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no onecan be best at everything, no one can win all the time--- and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when we don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolation, prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment—and be helped to master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?”Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine auditioned for a professional pany. She was turned down. “ Would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “ You will never be a dancer”, he said,“You haven’t the body for it.”In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(估量) of the situation bravely asking, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy—a way to find new possibilities.12. The second paragraph tells us ___________A. how a mother praised her childrenB. parents should blame their children at the proper time.C. how to shift blameD. two ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children fail13. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?A. No one can be best all the time at everything.B. He should be equipped for life.C. No parents should offer quick consolations.D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success.14. The underlined word “prompt” in the fifth paragraph can be best replaced by “_________.”A. preventB. causeC. continueD. exchange15. From the passage we know that ______________.A. success lies in hard workB. never be disappointed to lifeC. failure can affect one’s life greatly once he learns to use it.D. everyone had his own value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。

ATaj Mahal, Agra, IndiaAs many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight.Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of 1,991 meters. Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 47-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble dug to make way for it was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows ships to pass through the water. Each lock door weighs 750 tons and each lock fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year.Grand Canyon Skywalk, ArizonaThe Skywalk’s foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds , Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon's Sky Walk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83,000 pounds of glass. It was the creation of Las Vegas businessman David Jin, who approached the Hualapai Tribe with the idea of a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon in 1996. The Sky walk was assembled on site.1.The Japanese government decided to build the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge ___________A in the year of 1955B following public opinionC to show its national powerD to develop Japan’s economy2.The Grand Canyon Skywalk is probably a real challenge for those who __________A are airsickB hate rock climbingC have a fear of heightD feel ill traveling in boat3.In which section of a book can the text probably be seen?A ScienceB AgricultureC TechnologyD GeographyBI am an English dictionary. I can still remember the day my ex-owner bought me. He had stood in front of the shelf for around half an hour before finally picking me. Originally, he chose my neighbor. But because she had some ink on the cover, he put her down and chose me instead.I may sound arrogant (傲慢的) . But please forgive me. I am so proud of my vocabulary. With 100,000 entries and 300,000 examples, I think no scholar can be more knowledgeable than me. My only weakness is that I can’t speak. But that is not my fault. I was not designed to speak in the first place. My ex-owner was supposed to read the phonetic symbols (音标) clearly printed beside each word, which were also my selling point. I should have been respected but have ended up lying next to a piece of used toilet paper inside the rubbish bin.It is all because of the electronic dictionary. He is the bad guy because he takes advantage of my one weakness. And I just don’t understand why he can be so slim. He also has about 100,000entries but 450,000 examples! But I know this was not the reason why my ex-owner was attracted, for he was not a very diligent (勤奋的) student and seldom read the examples listed. The main reason was that the bad guy had so many games in him. My ex-owner always pretended to be working hard while actually he was playing games.My ex-owner put me on his bookshelf because of my awesome English name “Advanced English Dictionary”. He wanted people to think that he was an advanced learner. I wanted to tell him that it would be better if he hid the comic books standing next to me. But, you know, I can’t speak. I stood there for years. I was so bored. So I talked to the comic book next to me. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have talked to him because I was educated and he was not. But who else could I choose?H e told me that my ex-owner had read him once only and then put him there. I was upset because he had never read me from page one to page 1,000. Was I not a better book than the comic book? I wanted to challenge his honesty but before I did so, he was thrown away.I give up. My pages are absorbing waste water. There is no way people will use me again. Suddenly, I want to talk to the comic book. Would he talk to me if we met?4. Why does the dictionary think that the electronic dictionary is the “bad guy”?A. I t contains more words and examples.B. It can actually pronounce the words.C. It has a smaller size.D. It has many games.5. The dictionary thinks that its ex-owner put it on the bookshelf because he ______.A. thought that it could match the comic booksB. wanted his friends to study EnglishC. just wanted to show offD. had to use it sometimes6. What was the dictionary’s attitude toward the comic book standing next to it?A. It wanted to make friends with him.B. It respected him.C. It envied him.D. It hated him.7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. A Dictionary Is Replaced with an Electronic OneB. Students Seldom Use DictionariesC. A Dictionary and a Comic BookD. The Experience of a DictionaryCA new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pairfaster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.“Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”8.What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?A. It is fast in pace. B It is slow in pace.C. It makes us feel upset. D It makes us feel optimistic.9. What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?A. There are colors that do not match any music.B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced musicC. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.10. How did the researchers do the research?A. By making predictions.B. By researching journals.C. By conducting experiments.D. By studying famous musicians. 11．According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________A. how colors or music influence our emotionsB. how emotions affect music-color connectionsC. why we have different feelings towards musicD. why we have different feelings towards colorsDWitchcraft（巫术）was not made a capital offence in Britain until 1563 though it was disapproved by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484. From 1484 until around 1750, some 200,000 witches（女巫）were burnt or hanged in Western Europe.Most supposed witches were usually old women, and always poor. Any who were unfortunate enough to be an old woman with broken teeth, sunken cheeks and sockets and a hairy lip were assumed to possess the “Evil Eye”. It was more the case if they also had a cat. Many unfortunate women were taken away on this sort of evidence and hanged.Witch fever held East Anglia for 14 terrible months between 1645—1646. A man called Matthew Hopkins, an unsuccessful lawyer, contributed a lot! He became known as the “Witchfinder General”. He had 68 people put to death in Bury St. Edmunds alone, and 19 hanged at Chelmsfor in a single day. After Chelmsford he set off for other countries. Much of Matthew Hopkins theories of telling a witch were based on Devil’s Marks. He took a small mark to be a Devil’s Mark and he used his “needle” to see if these marks were ins ensitive to pain. His “needle” was basically a trick so the unfortunate women never felt any pain.There were other tests for witches. Mary Sutton of Bedford was put to the swimming test. With her thumbs tied to opposite big toes she was thrown into the river. If she floated she was guilty; if she sank, innocent. Poor Mary floated!Though many of the acts againsts witchcraft were put to an end in 1736, witch hunting still went on. In 1863, a suspected male witch was drowned in a pond in Headingham, Essex and 1945 the body of an elderly farm laborer was found near the village of Meon Hill in Warwickshire. His throat had been cut and his body was pinned to the earth. The murder remains unsolved; however, the man was said, locally, to be a male witch.It seems that belief in witchcraft has not entirely died out.12.A female witch was often found to be ________A. a young ladyB. a lucky womanC. an ugly womanD. a blind girl13. Matthew Hopkins can be best described as __________A. kind and smartB. tricky and mercilessC. successful and niceD. famous and fortunate14. Why did people throw Mary into the river?A. To take her life.B. To tell if she was a witchC. To test her swimming skills.D. To prove that she was guilty15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.

Make it a point of doing something brave every day. 36 This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn’t talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of.

横峰中学2016-17学年度上学期周练（第15周）高三年级英语试卷考试日期：12月6日阅读理解：ACounterfeit (假冒的) goods, or false versions of products, may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year. The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers. But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem. Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume. But in the first year of running her business, she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.Ms. Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application called Barcode (条码) Scanner. The app is used to authenticate (验证) products. It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit.“With this application I'm able to scan the bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date, the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety,” she says. “That way, I have confidence in selling to my customers.”In 2010, Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, or ACA, to fight against illegal trade. The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.Agnes Karingu is the agency’s acting director for research and awareness. She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.“We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS progr ams, bar codes and information sharing,” she says. “The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information, and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual pr operty rights holders.”The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous. The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode. The barcode information is sent to a database. Then a result is sent back to the app.The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization. It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (万亿) this year.28. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that Information Technology is developing fast.B. To persuade us to resist counterfeit goods.C. To advise us to use phone apps while going shopping.D. To inform us that phone apps can help stop counterfeiters’ trade.29. Why did Kenya create ACA?A. To raise people’s awareness of counterfei t goods.B. To ask the government to punish counterfeiters.C. To deal with illegal trade.D. To look into IT solutions.30. The underlined phrase “expiration date” in Paragraph 3 means the time when__________.A. the product is unable to be usedB. the product is packedC. the product is first out of the factoryD. the product is made31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Measures should be taken immediately to prevent counterfeit goods.B. The business of counterfeit goods is falling off.C. The value of counterfe it goods is likely to be more than $1.7 trillion this year.D. Counterfeit goods make a great contribution to the world economy.BBook 1: Diary of a Fly——By Doreen Cronin40 pages, US$15.99This is the diary of a fly.The fly, when she's not landing on your head or swimming in your soup, is trying to escape her 327 brothers and sisters who are driving her crazy.Even though she's little—just like her best friends, Worm and Spider—she wants to be a superhero.This is the story of a little fly who's not afraid to dream big.Book 2: Iggy Peck, Architect——By Andrea Beaty32 pages, US$15.95This book is a story about a kid whose head teacher does not recognize his great talent(though he makes buildings out of anything at hand, including table cloths, fruit and chalk) until it saves her life.With Andrea Beaty's rhyming text and David Roberts's interesting illustrations(插图), this book will charm creative kids everywhere.Book 3: The ChickenChasing Queen of Lamar County——By Janice N．Harrington40 pages, US$16.00Our character here loves to run after chickens, particularly Miss Hen, who's very fat.But, as all farming folk know, this is not a good way to produce happy, productive chickens.What will make her change her ways?

When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They thinkthis is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. 36 In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusionwas that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings. 37 A personwho is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood, and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 38Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research onSAD has been focused on the brain’s respons e to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. 39 It takesover to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encou rage peopleto take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computersand the indoor games and get out there in the sun. 40 ”A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Bi lly Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”A. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.B. That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.C. Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.D. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.E. Yet that link has no scientific basis.F. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.G. It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year.完形填空41．A.shared B.played C.served D.held42．A.accompanied B.employed C.attended D.supported 43．ually B.extremely C.really D.eventually 44．A.breakup B.date C.sympathy D.concern45．A.so B.but C.and D.or46．A.moved B.slipped C.came D.returned47．A.pleased B.satisfied C.occupied D.bored 48．A.shabby B.empty C.warm D.cozy49．A.turn up B.hang out C.go away D.break in50．A.dealt B.discounted C.wrapped D.donated51．A.tired B.nervous C.excited D.upset52．A.called up B.called for C.called on D.called in53．A.down B.up C.aside D.about54．A.hugging B.bowing C.crossing D.bending55．A.how B.which C.what D.that56．A.cases B.limits C.losses D.worries57．A.lonely cated C.shy D.wealthy58．A.possibility B.sight C.sadness D.hardship59．A.surprise B.defeat C.prize D.credit60．A.select B.value C.save D.admit语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
