河南高考英语真题下载2017(2)DWinter is near at hand. On his bench in Madison Square, Soapy moved uneasily.A dead leaf fell in Soapy’s lap. Soapy’s mind became aware that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of ways and means to provide against the coming rigour(严寒).The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. For ye ars the hospitable Blackwell’s Prison had been his winter quarters. On the previous night three newspapers, distributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to fight the cold as he slept on his bench in the ancient square. So th e Island appeared large and timely in Soapy’s mind. Determined to go to the Island, Soapy immediately set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant, and then after declaring to be penniless, be handed over quietly to a policeman. A helpful judge would do the rest.Soapy left his bench and wandered out of the square. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a glittering café. but the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk.At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights, Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to be taken away. But the policeman’s mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue.On the opposite side of the street was a small restaurant. At a table Soapy sat and consumed beefsteak, flap-jacks, and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. T o his disappointment, neatly upon his left ear on the hard pavement, two waiters pitched Soapy. He struggled to his feet and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to run after capture again. A young woman of a modest and pleasing dress was standing before a show window gazing with shining interest at its display, and two yards from the window a large policeman leaned against a water-plug.Soapy sidled toward the young woman, causing her to move away a few steps. With half an eye he saw the policeman was watching him fixedly. Soapy bravely stepped to the woman’s side, raised his hat and said: “Ah, Bedelia! Don’t you want to come and play in my yard?”“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll buy me some bee rs. I’d have spoken to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”The young woman then became attached to him. At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran.On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish(胡言乱语) at the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, and otherwise disturbed the peace. A policeman turned his back to Soapy and explained to a citizen, “This is one of the Yale guys celebrating the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy, but no harm.” Depressed, Soapy paused his seemingly useless roaring. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? Inhis fancy the Island seemed an unreachable Arcadia(世外桃源).In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and went off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hurriedly.“My umbrella,” he said severely. “Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, “Well, why don’t you call a policeman? There stands one on the corner.”“ Well,”said the umbrella man, “You know how these mistakes occur. I, I, if it’s your umbrella, I hope you’ll excuse me. I picked it up this morning in a restaurant. If you recognise it as yours, I hope you’ll…”“Of course it’s mine,” said Soapy evilly.Soapy walked eastward through a street. He threw the umbrella angrily into a dustbin. He complained about the cop. He wanted to be thrown into the Blackwell’s, but they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.65. What is the dream island that Soapy has been trying his best to enter?A. the hospitable Blackwell’s PrisonB. the bench in Madison SquareC. the warm police stationD. the corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights66. How many times has Soapy tried but failed?A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 767. The following paragraph is taken from the passage. It can be put __________.“Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the dream island was not to be a success. Some other way must be thought of.”A. between Para. 5 and 6B. between Para. 7 and 8C. between Para. 10 and 11D. between Para. 13 and1468. We can infer from the passage that _______________________.A. The Island was the best place for Soapy to live through the cold winterB. The police regarded Soapy as a king who could do no wrongC. Life was too hard for Soapy and he nearly gave up on himselfD. Soapy found his lost umbrella unexpectedly but threw it away69. The author wrote the passage in a(n) _________ way to make us deep in thought.A. conservativeB. teasingC. objectiveD. skeptical70. Which of the following shows the psychological changes of Soapy?A. Happy——Sad——AngryB. Sad——Happy——AngryC. Disappointed——Hopeful——DepressedD. Hopeful——Disappointed——Depressed第五部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)Few women choose academic careers in math-intensive fields because the lifestyle is not consistent with motherhood, researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women, but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math, engineering, physics and computer science.A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured(终身的)position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children. Many of those women choose a more flexible career."Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable, which means you'll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant,” said Wendy Williams, a human development professor at Cornell who co-authored the studywith her husband, Stephen Ceci.Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children. Before women became mothers, they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers. But once they gave birth, the dynamic changed.Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academia as well. But because there are so many women in those Ph.D. programs, enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.In math-heavy fields, however, women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students. So when the rare few who make it through a Ph.D. program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all, the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters (教师名单), the study said.第六部分读写任务(共1题,满分25分)阅读下面材料,按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

河南2017英语高考真题

河南2017英语高考真题河南2017英语高考真题DBy now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends’ new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber’s latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companieshave lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing( 泄露) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable(易受伤害的)to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.67. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks _________.A. benefit users in various waysB. offer offer professionals good chancesC. guide users to make right choices users to make right choicesD. help students finish their homework68. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies ________.A. take legal action against the attackersB. avoid posting embarrassing informationC. refuse to hire potential addicted employeesD. forbid the use of social networks during work time69. The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A. share experiences in using social mediaB. provide some advice on social problemsC. raise public awareness of social problemsD. remind people to wisely use social media70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C:Conclusion 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,共10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017河南省英语高考题及英语联考考试试题(2)DEver feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?A group of time-challenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25-hour clock.Jessie Behan,president of the 25 th Hour Coalition(联盟)which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day,said the struggle for women to maintain work-1ife balance motivated her to research the body’s natural clock.“Many of my girlfriends are having kids,getting married,and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when you’re a working woman,”she said.“Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24-hour clock.”A 2007 study by Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial,especially for frequent travelers,shift workers,astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.In a similar study,Czeisler showed the body’s natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people.The current 360-degree clock has 720 minutes,giving each minute 0.5 degree.With the new 25-hour day,30 minutes is added to each 12-hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.While still a relatively small movement—the 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members,Behan is hoping for large chan ges.“The goal is to get as many women on board;there’s no harm in just trying it out and seeing.If it gets big,maybe the government will decide to standardize it.”A recent online survey by Reader's Digest,which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries,suggests it's not justCanadians looking for longer days.Readers were asked“what would you do with an extra hour”if given a choice between sleep,work,exercise and family time.In Spain,half of respondents(被访者)said they’d like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time.The same was found for respondents in Brazil,the US and Britain,who chose family time over sleep,which came in at a close second.Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.33.Some Canadian working women are campaigning for the 25-hour day in order to_______.A.have more chances at workB.keep a balance between life and workC.experience something newD.have a better sleep34.Jessie Behan want more women to join the 25 th Hour Coalition because she________.A.intends to make more Facebook friendsB.hopes to get benefits from more peopleC.considers it is harmless to form such an organizationD.thinks it can help those women to realize their dreams35.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.Respondents from most nations want more family time.B.Respondents from developed countries experience more stress.C.Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.D.Indians are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThe owners of a restaurant in Alaska won international praise after defending their clerk with autism (孤僻症). Autism is a disorder that makes relationships and talking to others difficult. When the clerk delivered the wrong food to a customer’s house, that customer reacted severely and unkindly. Even after the clerk corrected the mistake, the customer continued to yell. He also abused the restaurant owners’ daughter, using “dirty language”.Restaurant owners Lily and her husband Michael Smith “fired” the customer. They added the customer to the restaurant’s “Do Not Deliver” list. That customer is now an unwelcome person. Lily said the clerk had worked at the Little Italy Restaurant in Alaska for two years. She said the clerk was very upset about the angry customer. Lily described the clerk as a seriously gifted university student who was curious about the world. She added that the clerk also had “an amazing personality”,great sense of humor and apositive work attitude.Reached at home by the Voice of America, Lily said she was happy about the positive comments she and her husband had been receiving and this clerk was also one who would not have to deal with that “rude customer” any more.By Tuesday afternoon, her Facebook posting about the incident received more than 30,000 “Likes” and hundreds of positive comments. Comments and emails came from Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Namibia and the United Arab Emirates. Lily said she spent a couple of emotional days crying over the posts on the Facebook page.1. Why did the customer yell at the clerk?A. Because the clerk had trouble talking with him.B. Because the clerk sent the wrong food to him.C. Because the clerk refused to admit his mistake.D. Because the clerk abused the owners’ daughter.2. What does the underlined word “Reached” in Paragraph3 probably mean?A. Comforted.B. Visited.C. Reported.D. Interviewed.3. How did the public respond to the owners’ behavior?A. They were strongly against it.B. They spoke highly of it.C. They felt very upset and angry.D. They remained curious.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A Restaurant “Fires” a Customer for Yelling at its ClerkB. A Gifted University Student Serves in a RestaurantC. A Customer Annoyed the Restaurant Owners to CryD. An Incident Catches the Eyes throughout the WorldBAncient people knew that some kinds of clay have qualities to cure. They applied clay to their skin to cover wounds. They also used the natural rock or soil material to treat stomach problems.Now, American researchers have discovered how different clays work as medicine. Blue and green clays are found in volcanic areas of the world. Around volcanoes, native peoples used the clays to improve their health. It seems they knew what they were doing.Lynda Williams is a clay and mineral scientist. She and her research team have been studying the native people of Australia. “There is evidence of the natives using clays for treating wounds and they eat them. Many cultures eat clays to settle their stomach.”Williams and her team found the clay was effective against some bacteria that cause diseases. In laboratory tests, they saw how a blue-colored clay is effective against MRS A, a dangerous and sometimes deadly skin infection (感染). The clay was also effective in treating Buruli ulcer, a skin disease found in the Ivory Coast.Here is how the blue clay works. Iron is one of the chemicals found in the clay. The bacteria need the iron to survive. Some of these same clays also contain aluminum. The minerals work together. Aluminum attacks the proteins (蛋白质)in the cell wall of the bacterium, lets iron flood into harmful bacteria and has reactions with the protein inside. The iron oxidizes (氧化)inside and then kills the bacteria.Williams says she hopes the study will interest drug companies that want to explore the medicalfunctions of blue and green clays.5. Williams and her team have found that clays have a good effect on_.A. treating woundsB. stomach painsC. skin diseasesD. improving health6. What kills the bacteria in the body according to the text?A. The oxidized iron in the clay.B. The aluminum in the clay.C. The proteins in the cell wall.D. The rock and soil in nature.7. We can know from the text that_.A. blue clays are rich in minerals and chemicalsB. some companies have interest in the researchC. green clays have a better effect than blue onesD. clays have been widely used to treat diseases8. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Ancient people knew the functions of clays.B. Clays are found in volcanic areas.C. How volcanic clays kill bacteria.D. Why people used clays to treat diseases.CEarlier this year, the price on the best-selling book, The Girl on the Train,was reduced from $11.99 to $1.99 for one day only.

It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to trap it with a net. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project comes up with a 62-mile-long floating barrier that can use natural currents (潮流)to trap rubbish. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the rubbish by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike appointed a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the Flyease Style. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. The idea came from “opening and closing a door,”says Tobie Hatfield, t he shoe’s head designer.The Underground Park The Lowline is an abandonedtrolleybus terminal in New York City. Barasch and architect James Ramsey are trying to turn it into green space. The key: a system that captures sunlight from surrounding rooftops and sends it underground. The light helps plants grow. To prove the technology works, Barasch and Ramsey opened the Lowline Lab. If all goes as planned, the park could open in 2020.13. What is an Ocean Vacuum according to the text?A. A rubbish collecting machine.B. A net used to trap rubbish.C. A barrier used to trap rubbish.D. A full cleanup operation.14. Who is the designer of Easy-On Shoes?A. Matthew Walzer.B. James Ramsey.C.
