He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh, my God! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.( )31. The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.A. Barbara was a very rich personB. Mark often forgot his friends’namesC. examples of memory problemsD. language problems of two persons( )32. When you forget things, you ________.A. must be too carelessB. shouldn’t lose heart about your memoryC. must accept the factD. shouldn’t take notice of the result( )33. The word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “________”.A. placesB. activitiesC. positionsD. chances( )34. According to the passage, ________ can make your memory better.A. realizing your memory problemsB. talking to your friendsC. making mind pictures of what you seeD. doing sports every d ay( )35. The purpose of the passage is to help you ________.A. to improve your memoryB. to introduce the guestC. to remember new wordsD. to forget unhappy things(B)Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.( )36. Sea bacteria are _______ for people.A. helpfulB. harmfulC. importantD. necessary( )37. Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?A. Because they eat a lot of seaweed.B. Because they were born with such an enzyme.C. Because they get more energy from food.D. Because they like to eat food full of bacteria.( )38. Which of the following is FALSE?A. The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed.B. All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme.C. All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme.D. The enzyme helps people to get more energy.( )39. According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.A. 5%B. 14%C. 35%D. 60%( )40. Which of the following food has the enzyme?A. Restaurant sushi.B. Restaurant seaweed.C. Uncooked seaweed.D. Seaweed soup.e) girl.( )41. Who loves Microblog?A. Alice.B. David.C. Lily.D. Leekom Wang.( )42. What does Alice think about Wechat?A. It’s fast and convenient.B. It’s fashionable but slow.C. It’s safe and useful.D. It’s fun but expensive.( )43. Why doesn’t Lily believe Wechat?A. Because many people are cheated on Wechat easily.B. Because she doesn’t like to say anything to her friends.C. Because she doesn’t think it is a good way to make friends.D. Because she prefers keeping diaries to showing secrets to others.( )44. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Wechat has hold-to-talk voice messaging function.B. David can share his feelings instantly on Microblog.C. Lily prefers reading to writing.D. There is a word limit on Microblog.( )45.

Lee Kuan Yew emerged onto the international stage as the founding father of the state of Singapore, then a city of about 1million．He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe．Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success．In the first phase of decolonization, Singapore emerged as a part of M alaya．It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapore's largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency, Malaya undou btedly expected that reality would cure Singapore of its independent spirit．But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations．Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood．The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtu es of his people．He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevert heless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset（财富）: the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people．A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been----indeed, where it as yet cannot imagine being．By insisting on quality education, by suppress ing corruption and by basing governance on merit．Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from 500atthetimeofindependencein1965toroughly55 , 000today．In a generation, Singapore became an international financial center．, the leadi ng intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia, the location of the region's major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs．It did so by adhering to an extraordina ry pragmatism: by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the bes t practices from all over the world．．Superior performance was one component of that achievement．Superior leadership was even more important．As the decades went by, it was moving----and inspirational----to see Lee．, the mayor of a medium-size city, become a mentor of global strategic order． The great tragedy of Lee's life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to communicate or receive communication．Through all that t ime, Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her．He had faith that she understooddespite the evidence to the contrary．Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yew's role in his era．He had the same hope for our world．He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous．But many of us hear d him and will never forget him．（1）Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Singapore to be independent？________A He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe．B He determi ned his people shouldn't be subjected to Malaya anymore．C He had considerable confi dence in the value of the city's assets．D He wanted Singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide．（2）From the underlined sentence in Paragraph2，we can know that________．A Malaya expected Singapore to be powerful．B Malaya had a desire to kick off Singapo re．C Malaya firmly believed Singapore would give in．D Malaya didn't think Singa pore possessed independent spirit．（3）The fourth paragraph is organized to________．A illustrate how advanced Singapore has been today．B demonstrate Lee Kuan Yew att ached great importance to the talents．C prove what a crucial decision Lee Kuan Yew on ce made．D show the tremendous impact Lee Kuan Yew had on Singapore．（4）Which of the following can best describe Lee Kuan Yew？________A Stubborn and arbitrary.B Aggressive and affectionate．C Demanding and bossy.D Outspoken and humorous．19. Scientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living un der key waters in Antarctica．They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf-the world's largest floating ice sheet．The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise．Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois．They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent．Money for th e project came from America's National Science Foundation．"We chose a study site where, in the first year, we went into the subglacial（冰川下的）lake and tried to understand the environment there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates, and how the sediment（沉淀物）underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because it's the water and the sediment undernea th the ice that control how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean．"says Ross Powell, who led t he investigation．The team included scientists, engineers, machinery and other supplies acr oss the ice from the main U．S．scientific base at McMurdo Station to the researcher's camp ．The camp was near a subglacial lake, where an earlier study took place．Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of cl imate change on rising sea level．"What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic t he ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere．"Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill．The rese archers used the drill to dig down some 740 meters．They collected water, sediment and oth er material from the grounding zone．Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to t he 400-square-meter undersea area．Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise． "It's a very mobile environment．The bottom is changing constantly．And so the things th at we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl．And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive on．Some of the little crus tacean-like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active．"This is the farthest south where fish have ever been seen．How did the creatures get here? What do they feed on? And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues． "We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back, we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past, relative to what it is doing now．And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the m oment, we anticipate that there will be some differences that we'll see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores, once we open them up．"But Ross Powell says the work rai ses more questions than it answers．（1）Scientists conducted the three-month research at the Ross Ice Shelf with the intention of________．A predicting how climate change influences rising sea level．B finding out whether ther e are life forms existing deep under Antarctic ice．C proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by water． D discovering an explanation of the effect the meltin g ice has on sea level rise．（2）What made the researchers surprised when they saw the video images？________A Researchers saw fish in the farthest south for the first time．B A video camera was ab le to work well under deep icy waters．C Sediment cores present differences in the hist ory of the ice sheet．D The drill should dig down 740 meters to collect things．（3）From sediment cores taken from the grounding zone，scientists will probably know________．A what the ice will do in the near future．B the ice in the grounding zone is melting at t he moment．C some differences rarely exist in the history of the ice sheet．D some thing about the creatures under icy water in Antarctica．（4）What can be inferred from the passage？________A Scientists will conduct a follow-up study on the frozen continent． B No creatures once appeared or lived in icy water in Antarctica． C America's National Science Foundation is in complete charge of the research． D Researchers have found how the sediment underneath the ice sheet operates．20. "Why do we have to learn all this dumb stuff? "Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my years in the c lassroom, this was the one most frequently asked．I would answer it by telling the following legend．One night a group of nomads （游牧民） were preparing to retire for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light．They knew they were in the presence of a godly being．With great expectation, they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be especially for the m．Finally, the voice spoke, "Gather as many pebbles （鹅卵石） as you can．Put them in your bags．Travel a day's journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad．"The nomads shared their disappointment and anger with each other．They had expected t he inspiration of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and purpose for the world．But instead they were given a silly task that made no sense to them a t all．However, the memory of the brilliance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and store them in their bags while voicing their displeasure．They traveled a day's journey and that night while making camp, they reached into their ba gs and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond．They were glad t hey had diamonds．They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles．It was an experience I had with a student, whom I shall call Alan, early in my teaching career that illustrated the truth of that legend to me．When Alan was in the eighth grade, he majored in"trouble"with a minor in"suspensions （停学）"．He had studied how to be a bully and was getting his master's degree in"thievery"． Every day I had my students memorize a quotation from a great thinker．As I called the roll （点名）, I would begin a quotation．To be counted present, the student would be expected to fi nish the thought．"Alice Adams-‘There is no failure except…'""‘In no longer trying．'I'm present, Mr．Schlatter．"So, by the end of the year, my young pupils would have memorized 150 great thoughts．"People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing．""No pains, no gains．""If you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it．"No one complained about this daily routine other than Alan-right up to the day he was expelled （开除） and I lost touch with him for five years．Then one day, he called．He was in a special p rogram at one of the neighboring colleges and had just finished parole（假释）．He told me that after being sent to juvenile hall （少管所） and finally being shipped off to the California Youth Authority for his wrong doings, he had become so disgusted with himself that he had taken a razor blade and cut his wrists．He said, "You know what, Mr．Schlatter, as I lay there with my life running out of my body, I suddenly remembered that quote you made me write 20 times one day．"There is no failure except in no longer trying．"Then it suddenly made sense to me．As long as I was alive, I wasn't a failure, but if I allowed myself to die, I would most certainly die a failure．So with my remaining strength, I called for help and started a new life．"At the time he had heard the quotation, it was a pebble．When he needed guidance in a m oment of crisis, it had become a diamond．And so it is to you, I say, gather all the pebbles you can, and you can count on a future filled with diamonds．（1）What does the underlined sentence"it will find you sad"（Para.4）mean？________A The God told the nomads to gather pebbles that made no sense to them．B The pebbl es won't enable the nomads to create fortune．C The God didn't give the nomads the me ssage they expected．D The nomads regretted not having gathered as many pebbles as possible．（2）Which of following sentences from the passage brings out the author's sense of humor？________A They were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all．B He majored in"troub le"with a minor in"suspensions"．C People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing．D You can count on a future filled with diamonds．（3）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？________A Not all the nomads gathered and stored some pebbles in their bags．B Students who finished the half-sentence quotation were counted present． C All students don't like the daily routine of f inishing the half-sentence quotation． D It was the strong faith of never dying a failure that saved Alan's li fe．（4）Why did Alan want to kill himself after being shipped off to the California Youth Authority？________A He hated the hard life in the juvenile hall．B He was expelled by the school in the end ．C He was badly treated at the California Youth Authority．D He felt so disappoint ed and hopeless about himself and his future．（5）According to the passage，we can conclude that Mr．Schlatter is an educator of________．A sympathy and kindness.B wisdom and patience．C generosity and creativity.D faith and devotion．（6）Which of the following may probably be the best title？________A A Naughty Trouble-marker. B Pebbles and Nomads． C The Magic Pebble. D A Quotation that Saved Life．四、任务型阅读21.If you witnessed an emergency happening right before your eyes, you would certainly take some sort of action to help the person in trouble, right? While we might all like to believe that this is true, psychologists suggest that whether or not you intervene（介入）might depend upon the number of other witnesses present.The term "bystander effect" refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the number of people present is, the less likely people are to help a person in trouble.In a series of classic studies, researchers Bibb Latane and John Darley found that the amount of time it takes the participant to take action varies depending on how many other observers are in the room. In one experiment, subjects were placed in one of three experimental conditions: alone in a room, with two other participants or with two confederates（同谋）who pretended to be normal participants.As the participants sat filling out questionnaires, smoke began to fill the room. When participants were alone, 75% reported the smoke to the experimenters. In contrast, just 38% of participants in a room with two other people reported the smoke. In the final group, the two confederates in the experiment noted the smoke and then ignored it, which resulted in only 10% of the participants reporting the smoke.Two major factors contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a diffusion（分散）of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.So what can you do to overcome the bystander effect? Some psychologists suggest that simply being aware of this tendency is perhaps the greatest way to break the cycle. When faced with a situation that requires action, understanding how the bystander effect might be holding you back and consciously taking steps to overcome it can help.But what if you are the person in need of assistance? How can you inspire people to lend a hand? One often-recommended strategy is to single out one person from the crowd. Make eye contact and ask that individual specifically for help.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A Most people don't know about the bystander effect.B People will take action when witnessing an emergency.C The bystander effect is a widely understood phenomenon.D Psychologists suggest people think twice before they intervene in an emergency.（2）What is the use of the two confederates in the experiment?A To force other participants to report the smoke.B To mislead other participants into ignoring the smoke.C To make sure the participants won't feel lonely.D To test if other witnesses' not taking action makes a difference.（3）In which of the following situations will a person in trouble most likely get assistance?A There are a lot of witnesses.B The bystanders have no idea what is goingon. C The person asks a specific bystander for help. D None of the witnesses know about the bystander effect.（4）What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?A Finding an excuse for not offering help.B Proving that the bystander effectexists. C Instructing people how to prevent the bystander effect. D Explaining the serious consequences of the bystander effect.五、读写任务22. A set of textbook designed to help high school student learn about Chinese traditional culture is to be published soon， Beijing Times reported on Monday．The books are the first national﹣level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture． They will be used by students from autumn this year， the report said．The set contains four classics from ancient times． Two of the works， The Confucian Analects and Mencius， are for 10th﹣grade students， while the other two， Great Learning and Dao De Jing， will be used by 11th graders．The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus．Last April， the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks，especially those used for subjects such as Chinese Language， history， art and physical education．The guidelines said students' knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao， the college entrance exam．（写作内容）1．用约30个单词写出上文的概要2．用约120个单词就"高中生学国学"这一主题发表你的观点，内容包括：（1）国学入高中的缘由（2）你对这一举动的看法（写作要求）1．阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句2．作文中不能出现真实的姓名和学校名称3．不必写标题内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2015届江苏盐城市高三第三次模拟考试英语试卷答案1.

From this autumn，new schoolbooks highlighting the traditional Chinese culture will be used by senior students，whose knowledge of the country's ancient traditions will also be tested in the gaokao．【高分句型一】（概括）There're several factors accounting for the move．The set of books are the significant component of traditional Chinese culture and provide teenagers with internal codes of conduct and thus they will play a positive role in their process of growth．Besides，the basic education system hasn't attached enough importance to the learning of traditional culture for quite a long time，and the textbooks are a beneficial effort to reverse that situation．In addition，learning traditional cultureis not solely about reciting texts﹣it's about utilizing ancient wisdom to solve current problems．（国学入高中的原因）Personally，I strongly support and welcome the move in that it is aninitiative to bring Chinese traditional culture back．【高分句型二】However，considering individual differences between students，I am not in complete agreement with the practice that they will be tested in the gaokao．（自己的观点）。

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries．Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only-child upbringing．She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while otherchildren see the advantages of their situation．However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．1．The passage is written with the purpose of ________．A．illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only childB．analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popularC．presenting us with different opinions about having an only childD．guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？A．Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．B．All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．C．Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．D．People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．3．From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．A．journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhoodB．she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reactionC．it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angleD．some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions 4．What can be inferred from the passage？A．It’s no rmal to see the imperfection in character in only children．B．Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．C．Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．D．Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．19. Exercise seems to be good for the human brain，with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills．But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is，if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise，do our brains respond accordingly？The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives．While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits，recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect．So researchers at Florida StateUniversity in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations，on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking．If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits，then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise．For the new study，which was published last month in PLOS One，the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system，they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking．The other volunteers were asked the same questions，but about a regular walking program．In actual experiments，stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills．Walking，on the other hand，seems to substantially improve thinking ability．But the survey respondents believed the opposite，estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking．The estimates of benefits from walking were lower．These data，while they do not involve any actual exercise，are good news for people who do exercise．“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart，a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University，who led the study．If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise，Mr．Stothart said，then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching．They didn’t，implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine．The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may，in the process，improve thinking，Mr．Stothart said．That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how，at a molecular level，exercise remodels the human brain，he said．It also should encourage the rest of us to move，since the benefits are，it seems，not imaginary，even if they are in our head．1．Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage？A．It occurs during exercise．B．It has cognitive benefits．C．It is just a mental reaction．D．It is a physiological response．2．Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research？A．To discover the placebo effect in the exercise．B．To prove the previous studies have a big drawback．C．To test whether exercise can really improve cognition．D．To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research．3．What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out？A．They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise．B．The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists．C．The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability．D．Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect．4．What might be the best title for the passage？A．Is it necessary for us to take exercise？B．How should people exercise properly？C．What makes us smarter during exercise？D．Does exercise really make us smarter？20. Mum，it’s me．Hopefully，this Mothering Sunday you will get to hear those three words．I will，of course，try to phone you．I hope we will be able to speak for the allowed 10 minutes．But I suspect many inmates will be using the phone，so if I don’t call and if we don’t speak，then this is what I would have said：It’s not your fault t hat I am here．I know that deep in your heart you have questioned whether my current circumstance is somehow your fault，if the reckless stupidity of my past is somehow a failure on your part．It is not．Only one person is to blame，only one person should hurt —me．You have always taught me that when the room goes dark，you can wait for the lights to be switched back on or you can search in the dark and turn the light on yourself．You are my light．You always have been and always will be．There is nobody I admire more，nobody I have strived harder to please in my life，which is why my current failure hurts me so much．I am so sorry that I will not be there to see you，but I want you to know that now，as always，you are here with me．In my darkest hours，and in the coldest loneliness of my past few months，my mind has so often wandered to the past，to when it was you and me —and I have been able to smile．Yours is the strength that I draw upon．A parent’s job is to make sure that they pass on the best of themselves to their children．You have done that．It is the inner you in me that will get me through this．I have failed you so epically，but you have never failed me．If I think back to the tears I shed when Dad left，all those years ago，I see you through their misty glaze．You holding me and you telling me we’d be OK，and we will be．We are and always will be the best team．Childhood heroes such as footballers，actors and rock stars are clichéd．If the job’s done right，a child’s heroes should be their parents — you are mine．The strength you showed after the divorce from Dad to find your biological parents，to go to university and get your teaching qualifications，to begin your life again，is the strength that I draw on now．It is the belief in myself，it is the belief you have in me，that tells me that once I am released I can and will rebuild my life．I will make you proud again．I will make you happy to have me as your son．Yours is the will that gets me through every day．I don’t believe you can judge a person for the mistakes they mak e，as we all make them，but you can judge them for what they do afterwards．And after this，when it is all over，you will still have a son with the same hopes and dreams．They have not diminished．If you can dream it，then you have to believe it can happen — right？So this Mothering Sunday，please think back to that morning in the 80s，the first Mother’s Day without Dad，when a six-year-old me got up early and made breakfast for you．Do you remember it？Could you ever forget？A slice of bread a doorstep thick and a wedge of cheese equally dense．You didn’t have to eat it，but you did，chewing every dry mouthful．I know now why you forced yourself — because it had been made with love．Well，things don’t change this year — this letter is that bread and cheese (it sure has plenty of the cheese！)．I love you so much．I am sorry I have let you down，but you have taught me that we will always pick ourselves up and become better than we were before．Thank you for everything and this year，more than ever：Happy Mothering Sunday．Love，your son1．According to the passage，what made the author most upset at present？A．Losing his freedom temporarily．B．Being unable to phone his mother．C．Failing to live up to his mother’s expectations．D．Having no chance to spend the weekend with mother．2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to？A．Mothering SundayB．Dark timeC．His mistakeD．Near future3．What did the author do in the loneliness of his past months？A．He summed up the causes of the failure in his life．B．He planned to help his mother find her birth parents．C．He recalled the fond memories of being with his mother．D．He prepared himself to go to university for further studies．4．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “clichéd” in Paragraph 6？A．RidiculousB．LiberalC．ExplicitD．Common5．Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother？A．Selfless but stubbornB．Guilty but determinedC．Selfish but responsibleD．Caring but envious21. Simon Sinek is naturally shy and doesn’t like speaking to crowds．At parties，he says he hides alone in the corner or doesn’t even show up in the first place．He prefers the latter．Yet，with some 22 million video views under his belt，the optimistic ethnographer also happens to be the third most-watched TED Talks presenter of all time．Sinek’s unlikely success as both an inspirational speaker and a bestselling author isn’t just dumb luck．It’s the result of fears faced and erased，trial and error and tireless practice，on and off stage．Here are his secrets for delivering speeches that inspire，inform and entertain．Don’t talk right away．Sinek says you should never talk as you walk out on stage．“A lot of people start talking right away，and it’s out of nerves,” Sinek says．“That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear．”Instead，quietly walk out on stage．Then take a deep breath，find your place，wait a few seconds and begin．“I know it sounds long and tedious and it feels excruciatingly awkward when you do it,” Sinek says，“but it shows the audience you’re totally confident and in charge of the situation．”Show up to give，not to take．Often people give presentations to sell products or ideas，to get people to follow them on social media，buy their books or even just to like them．Sinek calls these kinds of speakers “takers,” and he says audiences can see through these people right away．And，when they do，they disengage．“We are highly social animals,” says Sinek．“Even at a distance on stage，we can tell if you’re a giver or a taker，and people are more likely to trust a giver — a speaker that gives them value，that teaches them something new，that inspires them — than a taker．”Speak unusually slowly．When you get nervous，it’s not just your heart beat that quickens．Your words also tend to speed up．Luckily Sinek says audiences are more patient and forgiving than we know．“They want you to succeed up there，but the more you rush，the more you turn them off,” he says．“If you just go quiet for a moment and take a long，deep breath，they’ll wait for you．It’s kind of amazing．”Turn nervousness into excitement．Sinek learned this trick from watching the Olympics．A few years ago he noticed that reporters interviewing Olympic athletes before and after competing were all asking the same question．“Were you nervous？” And all of the athletes gave the same answer: “No，I was excited．” These competitors were taking the body’s signs of nervousness—clammy hands，pounding heart and tense nerves—and reinterpreting them as side effects of excitement and exhilaration．When you’re up on stage you will likely go through the same thing．That’s when Sinek says you should say to yourself out loud，“I’m not nervous，I’m excited！”Say thank you when you’re done．Applause is a gift，and when you receive a gift，it’s only right to express how grateful you are for it．This is why Sinek always closes out his presentations with these two simple yet powerful words: thank you．“They gave you their time，and they’re giving you their applause．” Says Sinek．“That’s a gift，and you have to be grateful．”四、书面表达（共1小题）22.请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It appears that families are getting smaller."One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mumsnet, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child" .She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience.In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of everything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery" .Writer and clinician Dr. Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society, says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older.(1) The passage is written with the purpose of.A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only childB. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popularC. presenting us with different opinions about having an only childD. guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives(2) What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.B. All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.C. Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.D. People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family.(3) From what Dr. Dorothy Rowe said, we know that .A. journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhoodB. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reactionC. it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angleD. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions(4) What can be inferred from the passage?A. It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.B. Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.C. Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.D. Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.19、【来源】 2015年江苏盐城高三一模（C篇）第42~45题8分2015年江苏南京高三一模第19题Exercise seems to be good for the human brain, with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect—that is, if we think we will be "smarter" after exercise, do our brains respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits, recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect. So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations, on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking. If people's expectations jibe （吻合） closely with the actual benefits, then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.For the new study, which was published last month in PLOS One, the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system, they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens （拉伸运动） performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking. The other volunteers were asked the same questions, but about a regular walking program.In actual experiments, stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people's cognitive skills. Walking, on the other hand, seems to substantially improve thinking ability.But the survey respondents believed the opposite, estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking. The estimates of benefits from walking were lower.These data, while they do not involve any actual exercise, are good news for people who do exercise. "The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect, " said Cary Stothart, a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University, who led the study.If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise, Mr. Stothart said, then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching. They didn't, implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may, in the process, improve thinking, Mr. Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how, at a molecular level, exercise remodels the human brain, he said. It also should encourage the rest of us to move, since the benefits are, it seems, not imaginary, even if they are in our head.(1) Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage?A. It occurs during exercise.B. It has cognitive benefits.C. It is just a mental reaction.D. It is a physiological response.(2) Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research?A. To discover the placebo effect in the exercise.B. To prove the previous studies have a big drawback.C. To test whether exercise can really improve cognition.D. To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research.(3) What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out?A. They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise.B. The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists.C. The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability.D. Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect.(4) What might be the best title for the passage?A. Is it necessary for us to take exercise?B. How should people exercise properly?C. What makes us smarter during exercise?D. Does exercise really make us smarter?20、【来源】 2015年江苏盐城高三一模（D篇）第46~50题10分2015年江苏南京高三一模第20题Mum, it's me. Hopefully, this Mothering Sunday you will get to hear those three words. I will, of course, try to phone you. I hope we will be able to speak for the allowed 10 minutes. But I suspect many inmates will be using the phone, so if I don't call and if we don't speak, then this is what I would have said: It's not your fault that I am here. I know that deep in your heart you have questioned whether my current circumstance is somehow your fault, if the reckless stupidity of my past is somehow a failure onyour part. It is not. Only one person is to blame, only one person should hurt—me. You have always taught me that when the room goes dark, you can wait for the lights to be switched back on or you can search in the dark and turn the light on yourself. You are my light. You always have been and always will be. There is nobody I admire more, nobody I have strived harder to please in my life, which is why my current failure hurts me so much.I am so sorry that I will not be there to see you, but I want you to know that now, as always, you are here with me. In my darkest hours, and in the coldest loneliness of my past few months, my mind has so often wandered to the past, to when it was you and me—and I have been able to smile. Yours is the strength that I draw upon.A parent's job is to make sure that they pass on the best of themselves to their children. You have done that. It is the inner you in me that will get me throughthis.I have failed you so epically, but you have never failed me. If I think back to the tears I shed when Dad left, all those years ago, I see you through their misty glaze. You holding me and you telling me we'd be OK, and we will be. We are and always will be the best team.Childhood heroes such as footballers, actors and rock stars are clichéd. If the job's done right, a child's heroes should be their parents—you are mine. The strength you showed after the divorce from Dad to find your biological parents, to go to university and get your teaching qualifications, to begin your life again, is the strength that I draw on now. It is the belief in myself, it is the belief you have in me, that tells me that once I am released I can and will rebuild my life. I will make you proud again. I will make you happy to have me as your son. Yours is the will that gets me through every day.I don't believe you can judge a person for the mistakes they make, as we all make them, but you can judge them for what they do afterwards. And after this, when it is all over, you will still have a son with the same hopes and dreams. They have not diminished. If you can dream it, then you have to believe it can happen—right?So this Mothering Sunday, please think back to that morning in the 80s, the first Mother's Day without Dad, when a six-year-old me got up early and made breakfast for you. Do you remember it? Could you ever forget? A slice of bread a doorstep thick and a wedge of cheese equally dense. You didn't have to eat it, but you did, chewing every dry mouthful. I know now why you forced yourself—because it had been made with love. Well, things don't change this year—this letter is that bread and cheese（it sure has plenty of the cheese!）.I love you so much. I am sorry I have let you down, but you have taught me that we will always pick ourselves up and become better than we were before. Thank you for everything and this year, more than ever:Happy Mothering Sunday.Love, your son(1) According to the passage, what made the author most upset at present?A. Losing his freedom temporarily.B. Being unable to phone his mother.C. Failing to live up to his mother’s expectations.D. Having no chance to spend the weekend with mother.(2) What does the underlined word “this"in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Mothering Sunday.B. Dark time.C. His mistake.D. Near future.(3) What did the author do in the loneliness of his past months？A. He summed up the causes of the failure in his life.B. He planned to help his mother find her birth parents.C. He recalled the fond memories of being with his mother.D. He prepared himself to go to university for further studies.(4) Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “clichéd” in Paragraph 6?A. Ridiculous.B. Liberal.C. Explicit.D. Common.(5) Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?A. Selfless but stubborn.B. Guilty but determined.C. Selfish but responsible.D. Caring but envious.三、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）21、【来源】 2015年江苏盐城高三一模第51~60题10分2015年江苏南京高三一模第21题Simon Sinek is naturally shy and doesn't like speaking to crowds. At parties, he says he hides alone in the corner or doesn't even show up in the first place. He prefers the latter. Yet, with some 22 million video views under his belt, the optimistic ethnographer also happens to be the third most-watched TED Talks presenter of all time.Sinek's unlikely success as both an inspirational speaker and a bestselling author isn't just dumb luck. It's the result of fears faced and erased, trial and error and tireless practice, on and off stage. Here are his secrets for delivering speeches that inspire, inform and entertain.Don't talk right away.Sinek says you should never talk as you walk out on stage. "A lot of people start talking right away, and it's out of nerves, " Sinek says. "That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear."Instead, quietly walk out on stage. Then take a deep breath, find your place, wait a few seconds and begin. "I know it sounds long and tedious and it feels excruciatingly awkward when you do it, " Sinek says, "but it shows the audience you're totally confident and in charge of the situation."Show up to give, not to take.Often people give presentations to sell products or ideas, to get people to follow them on social media, buy their books or even just to like them. Sinek calls these kinds of speakers "takers, " and he says audiences can see through these people right away. And, when they do, they disengage."We are highly social animals, " says Sinek. "Even at a distance on stage, we can tell if you're a giver or a taker, and people are more likely to trust a giver — a speaker that gives them value, that teaches them something new, that inspires them — than a taker."Speak unusually slowly.When you get nervous, it's not just your heart beat that quickens. Your words also tend to speed up. Luckily Sinek says audiences are more patient and forgiving than we know."They want you to succeed up there, but the more you rush, the more you turn them off, " he says. "If you just go quiet for a moment and take a long, deep breath, they'll wait for you. It's kind of amazing." Turn nervousness into excitement.Sinek learned this trick from watching the Olympics. A few years ago he noticed that reporters interviewing Olympic athletes before and after competing were all asking the same question. "Were you nervous? " And all of the athletes gave the same answer: "No, I was excited." These competitors weretaking the body's signs of nervousness — clammy hands, pounding heart and tense nerves — and reinterpreting them as side effects of excitement and exhilaration.When you're up on stage you will likely go through the same thing. That's when Sinek says you should say to yourself out loud, "I'm not nervous, I'm excited!"Say thank you when you're done.Applause is a gift, and when you receive a gift, it's only right to express how grateful you are for it. This is why Sinek always closes out his presentations with these two simple yet powerful words: thank you."They gave you their time, and they're giving you their applause." Says Sinek. "That's a gift, and you have to be grateful."四、书面表达（满分25分）22、【来源】 2015年江苏盐城高三一模第62题25分2015年江苏南京高三一模第22题请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
