高中英语真题：某中学2015届高三下学期第三次模拟考试试卷试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peter s’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do —I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.21. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightC. her mother allowed her to do soD. It was a routine of the party22. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house23. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a bad-tempered womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas24. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. a fan-purchasing experienceC. the shocking death of a famous singerD. an unfriendly hostess2.BEIJING — China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination toensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.“It has harmed education equality，” the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.But not all the Chinese pare nts welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitionsduring vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,” he said.25. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges26. What does the underlined word “geek” probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student27. Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren28. What might be the best title for the text?A. “Extra credits” policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic competitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD. Chinese government to push education reform3.

It sure was feeling heavy.A hopeless girl in her twenties, I was a single parent, with a one-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.Life consisted of ups and downs. One year, I was having baby showers and taking vacations in the mountains of Tennessee. The next, I was searching around my small, two-bedroom apartment collecting loose change to buy food and gas. Suddenly, I found myself becoming poor, and it was hard.I'll never forget the joy of finding one penny during my hunt, then two, then fifteen, and then twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Every time I found one, I felt excited. Looking back now, I see that it was somewhat ironic (讽刺的) because I had looked down on pennies at one point in my life.I sat in my bedroom that night and sorted all the change from my hour-long quest. I smiled and made jokes with my daughter while we packed our pennies. Her brother joyfully bounced up and down in his bouncer. They had no idea how many nights I would cry with my face buried in the pillows, wondering how I would keep a roof over their heads, lights on in the house, and food on the table.I remember those days like they were yesterday, but I don't remember them with sadness. I remember them intentionally because I promised myself that if I were ever to escape the pains of poverty, I would never forget the value of a penny.I've kept that promise, too.4. Why did the author shake her old purses?A. To look for money to pay for their expense.B. To purchase something for her children.C. To make money at the end of the week.D. To put them into her coat pockets.5. What do we know about the author?A. She could make ends meet.B. She often lived a hard life.C. She was once living well.D. She enjoyed her family life.6. What is the author's promise?A. To help others little by little.B. To find great value in little things.C. To bring happiness to her children.D. To forget the sad days intentionally.7. What does this text want to convey?A. It's no use crying over spilt milk.B. We should repair the house before it rains.C. Each family has its own happiness and unhappiness.D. One penny is the small seed from which fortunes spring.COn January 22, a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf. Scientists say the iceberg was expected to break off and the event isn't connected to climate change. But the size of the iceberg is hard to imagine.The iceberg, known as "A81", is extremely large. It covers an area of about 600 square miles (1,550 square kilometers).Antarctica, the world's fifth largest continent, is covered with a layer of ice and snow that's roughly 1.2 miles (1.9 kilometers) thick. As snow falls, it piles up in the center of Antarctica in a huge layer of ice. Over time, the weight of this ice and snow creates slowly moving rivers of ice called glaciers, which push out towards the sea.When the glaciers reach the sea, they slowly push out beyond the edge of the land, forming huge "ice shelves". These are massive sections of ice that spread out over the sea, floating on the water below. Antarctica's largest ice shelf, the Ross Ice Shelf, is about the size of France.From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process, called "calving". Though calving events are a normal part of the ice shelf in Antarctica, one expert describes huge calving events like this one as "spectacular", Unlike an ice shelf, sea ice isn't attached to Antarctica's land. It's a layer of ice that floats on the surface of the sea. The sea ice is there year-round. It grows larger in the cold winters, and smaller as it begins to melt in the summers.It's now summer in Antarctica, and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly. Last year, with temperatures warmer than normal, Antarctica set a record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded. Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice could set a new record low again this year.8. Why have a lot of icebergs broken off from Antarctica in recent years?A. Because of climate change.B. Because of human activities.C. Because of their extremely big size.D. Because of the amount of iceberg.9. What does the underlined word "calving" probably refer to in paragraph 5?A. Giving birth.B. Breaking off.C. Coming together.D. Cutting down.10. What is the scientists' attitude towards the changes of sea ice inAntarctica?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.11. What is probably the best title of this text?A. Massive Iceberg Breaks from AntarcticaB. Scientists Say the Iceberg Was to Break OffC. Antarctica's Sea Ice Could Set a New RecordD. The Sea Ice Disappears "Unusually" RapidlyDMany retirees spend time playing games like crossword puzzles, and social games like chess. These games keep people thinking and give their brains a good workout. But can they really help improve memory?The idea of using games that are specifically designed to brain training is very complicated, but research published in The Cambridge University Press has found that brain games certainly make people think and use acquired skills.Brain games sharpen certain thinking skills like short-term memory decision making, planning skills, and reaction time according to Dr. Julie Brody Magid, clinical director of the Memory Disorders Assessment Clinic at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. Many of these skills decrease as people age, especially after retirement, "Learning to use your brain in response to other forms of stimulation can help strengthen valuable mental skills, which older people continue to need and rely on every day," Brody Magid said. The best way to build up cognitive (认知的) reserve isto stay physically active, especially when you age, by taking care of your health by eating right and managing chronic diseases like high blood pressure, and diabetes. All of these go hand-in-hand with playing brain games. "In this way, participating in brain games actually can help with cognition, but it's a team effort," said Brody Magid. "You can't do it by doing crossword puzzles alone."So, if you want to mix it up and combine different types of brain boosting games, here's a selection from Very Well Mind. Sudoku, a number placement game, relies on short-term memory and concentration. Crossword puzzles are the classic brain game that revolves around long-term memory and knowledge. You can also find them in newspapers and books. If you prefer online games, you can check out Braingle, a free site that has over 15,000 puzzles, riddles, and more. You can even create your own puzzles to get your creative juices flowing too.So, play some brain games to exercise your brain cells and harvest all of the benefits.12. What is the purpose of the games in paragraph 2?A. To train brain.B. To improve creativity.C. To work out physically.D. To get relaxed.13. How can older people acquire strong mental power according to BrodyMagid?A. By only staying physically active.B. By exercising their brain frequently.C. By participating in more team work.D. By stimulating their cognitive ability.14. What does the author suggest doing to improve your creative ability?A. Relying on Sudoku.B. Doing crossword puzzles.C. Checking out Braingle.D. Designing puzzles in person.15. What is the text mainly about?A. The elderly should play more games than the young.B. Brain games help people solve complicated problems.C. Playing brain games helps improve your memory.D. Crossword puzzles hold the secret of your creativity.When you learn how to set intentions, you may tap into your inner drive and reach your dreams.

A（2015年吉林长春高三新起点调研考试英语试卷）In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Nig ht Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. W here is the blue food? ”Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But i t isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest thatthose determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching - green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?21. George Carlin’s words a re placed at the beginning of the passage to _______.A. show the author’s opinionB. introduce a TV showC. tell a famous personD. lead in the topic22. Which of the following statements of blue is true?A. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.B. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.23. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because _______.A. our taste experience can be influenced by colorB. red-colored food are 20% sweeter than green foodC. people prefer red-colored food to green foodD. before eating, people watch food for a long time24. The underlined words “is dyed” in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to “_______”.A. is eaten upB. has grown upC. is changed in colorD. is harmful toB（2015•甘肃省部分普通高中高三2月第一次联考）A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to launch a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim the receivers can be shrunk to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US military, which invented GPS technology, signed a contract last month agreeing to a large-scale test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.As for the Locata’s accuracy, Christopher Morin of the US Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18 centimeters along any axis(轴). Morin says it should be possible to get the resolution down to 5 centimeters.Admittedly, the tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also works beautifully, but its signals are weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily blocked by solid objects. “Locata’s signal is far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a complex urban environment,” says David Last, consultant to the UK’s General Lighthouse Authorities.“Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas,” Gambale says. “Robots with Locata could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical systems they need at the moment. And process that handle precise location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. The units small and cheap enough for smart phones should be available within five years— a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards world domination.”25. The passage is written mainly to .A. encourage people to buy the LocataB. tell us the disadvantage of the GPSC. introduce a new positioning system LocataD. tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day26. Which of the following is not true about Locata according to Paragraph 2?A. Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.B. The US military has to test it before using it.C. Locata has a better signal than GPS.D. Locata can be fixed into smart phones only.27. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?A. accuracyB. speedC. determinationD. length28. According to the passage, what can we know about Gambale?A. He did the experiment at White Sands.B. He is confident in Locata and think highly of it.C. He said that Locata could not work in a complex urban environment.D. He is worried about the competition that Locata faces.C（江西省重点中学盟校2015届高三第一次十校联考）How do you celebrate New Year’s Day? If I had to take a guess, you probably celebrate New Year’s Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drinks of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop. If you’re particularly lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special someone when the clock hits 00:00am.Have you ever imagined how New Year’s Day would look in another country? Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door——DenmarkA strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door. Strangely, this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large amount of loyal friends.2. Talking to Spirits——MexicoTalking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on anindividual basis but is a legal Mexican practice. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka Dots ——PhilippinesImagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Year’s Eve every year. Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow（稻草人）Dummy——EcuadorEcuador has a unique custom of crafting scarecrows and then burning them at midnight. They adorn them and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their own scarecrow. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.5. Mistletoe（槲寄生）Leaves Are Placed Under Pillow to Find Husband——IrelandThe single women of Ireland wait desperately for New Year’s Eve because it is the night that can bring them the love of their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.The world is a large and very different place. Yes, people of all nations may celebrate New Year’s much differently around the world, with different traditions, but there are a lot of general themes to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.29. When New Year’s Day is coming, people always celebrate it in many ways EXCEPT __________.A. sharing the time with their loversB. getting together with their familiesC. setting the ball dropD. enjoying drinks with their friends30. What can you learn when you are paying a visiting to Mexico during New Year’s Day?A. It’s commonly believed that the dead have spirits and souls l iving around.B. It’s New Year’s Day that Mexicans consider the best time to talk to spirits.C. You’d better talk to your ancestors just at home secretly, or you’ll break the law.D. You can ask for help free when you want to talk to the dead.31. The single women of Ireland always ________ hoping to catch their future husband on New Year’s Eve.A. wear polka dotsB. burn scarecrow dummyC. break dishes on neighbor’s doorD. place mistletoe leaves u nder their pillow32. What can you conclude according to the passage?A. No matter how we celebrate New Year, we have the only theme----increasing our wealth.B. Celebrating New Year’s Day means looking forward to a happier and better coming year.C. It’s seldom to see different traditions to celebrate New Year.D. The traditions will be changed with the time going by.D（2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试）Dive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages.

A（2015•山东省青岛市高三统一质量检测）Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever. That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while we’re there.You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about ―life back then‖, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.Whether it was talking to 98-year-old ―Hurricane Hilda‖ about her glory days as a roller skateror chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.Even the residents who don’t have amazing memories make the experience satisfying . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldn’t recall much about her past, but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her ―rambling (漫谈)‖. It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living. That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it’s that pre sence – just being there – means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, there’s always time to make someone’s day.For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly – especially when you’re a teenager. But that’s not true at all.I hate to be overly clichéd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.21. What do the volunteers do according to the passage?A. They share everything with the residents.B. They play board games and cards with the residents.C. They watch the residents play games.D. They buy gifts for the residents.22. According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?A. Playing with them.B. Benefiting from them.C. Helping them.D. Being there with them.23. What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage ?A. We don’t have anything in common with the elderly.B. Age is just a number.C. It is important to help the elderly.D. Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.B（2015•云南省昆明市高三上学期摸底调研）Hey, mom, I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate. I want to travel with you-just you.I want to explore a new place alongside a woman who raised me, who put up with my teenager anxiety and my rebellious (叛逆的) college years. I want to see my favorite cities with the lady who taught me basic life lessons, such as looking both ways before crossing the street, how to use a glue gun, and that the most important thing in the world is to help others.I always appreciated the vacations you planned for our family. I also remember how you watched me as I read The Great Gatsby on the balcony at midday. I wonder if you felt proud of me. These days, I am sick of traveling to places with wishy-washy(无主见的) friends.I want to travel with a strong woman who can see how capable I am of learning to speak French or hiking on a glacier(冰川) or eating something as unpleasant-smelling fruit.Now I want you too see how much I grow up while abroad-I’m a different person, Mo m. And I know you’d be different too. I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for the first time.So what do you say, Mom? Will you throw responsibility to the wind? I want to travel with you. Let’s just go-we can go anywhere in the world, just you and I. You can pick the place, and I will do the rest.Love,Katka24. Which life lesson does Katka think the most valuable?A. Exploring a new place alongside her mother.B. Visiting favorite cities with her mother.C. Looking both ways when crossing the street.D. Offering help to others when it’s possible.25. What do the underline words in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Keep you promise.B. Take care of me.C. Change your daily routine.D. Have a break from work26. How does Katka feel when she writes this letter?A.Eager.B. Content.C. Doubtful.D. Upset.27.What’s the daughter’s purpose of writing this letter?A. To thank her mother for all she has sacrificed for her.B. To invite her mother to see the world together.C. To recall her childhood with her mother.D.
