2016高三英语模拟卷新课标全国卷
2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings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。

2016年高考英语试题全国卷Ⅱ（广东卷）笔试部分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn't return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC.CautiousD. HumorousYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places –and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock –or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,”he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxationC. It is increasingly popularD. It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional coursesB. Make plans for the new termC. Earn money for their educationD.

ADear Alfred，I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I‘m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADIID(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but could n‘t . So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I‘m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors. 学科&网Thank you. You‘ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I‘m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good.

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the o cean and hear the waves from her house. ―It‘s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,‖ she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natali e‘s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city‘s bridges closed.新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie‘s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people we re suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie‘s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. V olunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.―My mom tells me that I can‘t control what happens to me,‖ Natalie says. ―but I can always choose how I deal with it.‖Natalie‘s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to halp. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick‘s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ―I can‘t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,‖ Natalie declares. ―My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.‖59.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found___ B ___.A.some friends had lost their livesB.her neighborhood was destroyedC.her school had moved to BrooklynD.the elderly were free from suffering60.According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?( A)A.The people helping Rockaway rebuild新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享B.The people trapped in high_rise buildingsC.The volunteers donating money to suevivorsD.Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people61.How did Natalie help the survivors?( D)A.She gave her toys to other kidsB.She took care of younger childrenC.She called on the White House to helpD.She built an information sharing platform62.What does the story intend to tell us?( A)A.Little people can make a big differenceB.A friend in need is a friend indeedC.East or west,home is bestD.Technology is powerCCalifornia Condor’s Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condors are North America‘s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖).Since 1992,there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off. ―As they go in to rest for the night, they just don‘t see the power lines,‖ says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge th e gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout‘s team thinks that the California condors‘ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. ―Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,‖h e says. ―They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. ‖63.California condors attract researchers‘ interest because they . (D)A.are active at nightB.had to be bred in the wildC.are found on in CaliforniaD.almost died out in the 1980s64. Researchers have found electrical lines are .( B)A.blocking condors‘ journey homeB. big killers of Califorbnia condorsC. rest places for condors at nightD. used to keep condors away65.According to Paraghaph 5 ,lead poisoning .( D)A.makes condors too nervous to flyB. has little effect on condors‘ kidneysC. can hardly be gotten rid of form condors‘ bloodD. makes it different for condors to produce baby birds66.The passage shows that .( C)A.the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB.Rideout‘s research interest lies in electric engineeringC.the efforts to protect condors have brought good results新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享D.researchers have found the final answers to the problemDWhy College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today‘s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves ―trying on ‖ new ways of thinking about oneself bothe intellectually(在思维方面) and person ally. While we should provide ―safe spaces‖ within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent‘s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.67.What‘s the author‘s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?( B)A.SympatheticB.DisapprovingC.SupportiveD.Neutral68.The underlined word ―passage‖ in Paraghaph 2 means .( A)A.changeB.choiceC.textD.extension69.According to the anthor ,what role should college play?( D)A.to develop a shared identity among studentsB.to de fine and regulate students‘ social behaviorC.To provide a safe world without tension for studentsD.To foster students‘ intellectual and personal development70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?( C)新东方在线高考网（/）网友分享I:Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point（次要点）C：Conclusion(2016江苏高考英语)请阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

【2015高考复习】阅读理解Ecotourism：A Different Way to TravelAre you attracted to obscure places？Do you prefer to vacation away from other tourists？Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints？If you answered yes to more than one of these questions，you just might be an ecotourist.Ecotourists are people who want to experience the unspoiled natural world—and leave it that way when they return home.This trend started in the 1990s，and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large.The Kapawi Ecolodge in Ecuador’s remote Amazon Basin is contributing to that expansion，and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like.At the Ecolodge，a small group of cabins sits in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve and is only accessible by air.From here，visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders.As they do，local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket，where they find food，clothing，medicine and tools.As a result，tourists learn to appreciate the local culture as well as the natural environment.The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people，but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge.They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011.The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people.You probably won’t start your own ecolodge，but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines：Protect the environment；Support local businesses；Respect the local customs and traditions.The world is full of fascinating places to visit.As an ecotourist，you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

【2014河南省淇县高级中学一模】What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the detai ls another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christ mas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters car efully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.60. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming61.

What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has received.【参考答案】60、DDBA【2014河南省淇县高级中学一模】Depression（抑郁症）is a serious problem today , Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars, One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”Depression hits one person in five around the world.Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone, Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world’s population will besuffering from a serious depression , Suicide rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme ,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large ,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks, People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping , getting up on time, and doing work productively.Depression ,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes ,brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate, making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.In Western countries, people are not afraid to admit that they have depression ,but most do not tell it to their boss, because they fear that they will be stricken off the rolls, “In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it ,because they feel the most secure about themselves,”an American doctor says.Hopefully ,in the near future ,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.pared to normal people, the depressed people are likely to beA.very unconfident and often absent-mindedB.easy to avoid being hit by heart attacksC.working efficiently and productivelyD.either weak or lazy65.Depression becomes more serious in China because ofA.the understanding of the problemB.the lack of treatment and doctorsC.their unwillingness to tell it to their bossD.the doctors’ careless work66.What can we infer from the passage?A.

2016年高考英语阅读理解模拟题及答案(一)
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Sto rm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all wort h it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in
your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”
1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
3. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
4. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world/
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
答案 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A。
