湖北省黄冈中学2014届高考模拟试卷 英语(一)2
湖北省黄冈中学2014届高考模拟试卷英语（一）2高考英语2014-02-25 2014()Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）challenger，in June，1983. The achievement of Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space，made this flight especially memorable. Students from two Camden, New Jersey, high schools, however, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 20140 companions along with her. Norma was an ant，a queen ant who，with her subject，made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space，but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was moved. The hot，dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint（精确找到）what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $ 2014,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.51．What does the passage mainly tell us？A．Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut.B．How to keep ants alive in space.C．How to make equipment for insects in space.D．An experiment with ants in space.52．According to the passage, we know that the underlined word“demise”is another word for“_____”.A．death B．colonyC．insect D．moisture53．We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because_____.A．everything went as smoothly as expectedB．the students had pinpointed exactly the reasonC．something important had been learnedD．the students had succeeded in the experiment54．We can conclude that ants _____ on the next space trip.A．will have to be kept alive in a container full of waterB．will have to be sent into space with the first woman astronautC．should be put into a container where there is enough foodD．should be put into a container which is not too dryBRussian President Putin named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”on December 19th.2007 for strengthening stability（稳定）that made Russia a world power again.The magazine recognized Putin’s“extraordinary feat（技艺）of leadership in taking a country that was in a mess and bringing it stability，”said Richard Stengel，Time’s managing editor.The magazine noted that“Person of the Year”is not an honor or an endorsement（认可）but a recognition of leadership that shapes the world.Putin，who is 56 years old，is very popular in Russia，making a great effort to cause economy to come to life on revenue（收入）from oil and natural gas.Putin recently supported vice-PM Dmitry Medvedev’s presidential bid，and said he would accept Medvedev’s offer to serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected on March 2.The Kremlin said Wednesday the Time recognition was seen there as an acknowledgement o f Putin’s role in helping Russia pull out of its social and economic troubles in the 1990s.Others considered for“Person of the Year”included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling.This year’s choice was a return to the magazine’s traditio n of picking an individual rather than last year’s choice of“You”，which refers to anyone creating or using content on the World Wide Web.Putin is the fifth Russian（or Soviet）leader to be named Person of the Year：Gorbachev，Andropov，Khrushchev and Stalin，who was named twice.55．How did Putin try to make Russia a world power again？A．By performing arms race.B．By making war.C．By strengthening stability.D．By getting foreign help.56．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage？A．Russia used to be in a mess.B．Time always picks an individual to be the“Person of the Year”.C．Oil and natural gas caused Russia’s economy to come to life.D．Putin will leave office on March 2,2007.57．What does the underlined word“acknowledgement”mean？A．Praise.B．Support.C．Scold.D．Recognition.58．How many times have Russian leaders been named“Person of the Year”so far？A．Five times.B．Six times.C．Seven times.D．Eight times.。

湖北省黄冈中学2014年高三6月适应性考试(英语)2
湖北省黄冈中学2014年高三6月适应性考试（英语）2高考英语2014-06-03 2015(with [B]. They used all the letters from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942.Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused. Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didn’t kn ow which was which. This convinced the Weather Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future.55．Hurricanes were first named after the _________.A. date on which they occurredB. place where they beganC. amount of destruction they didD. particular feature they have56．The practice of giving girls’ names to hurricanes was started by _________.A. a radio operatorB. an authorC. a sailorD. local people57．The purpose for which weathermen of the army and navy began using girls’ names for hurricanes was _________.A. to keep information from the enemyB. to follow the standard method of the United StatesC. not given in the articleD. to remember a certain girl58．The Weather Bureau began naming hurricanes because it would help them _________.A. collect information more rapidlyB. warn people more efficientlyC. make use of military (军事的) recordsD. remember themCMore than three years after moving from Australia to this remote part of England, we are still learning how things are done here.Not too long after we arrived and unpacked, we were invitedfor “a drink on Sunday morning” by a retired couple nearby. We got there about noon, to find the living-room crowded — lots of chat and discussions, and in all a very jolly occasion.Trouble was, there was no food — no self-respecting Australian would regard a tray of crisps as food. In Sydney, when you are invited for a drink any time after midday on a Sunday, you know you will be fed as well as watered and you plan accordingly. Meaninworked little woman makes no plans to cook lunch because you are eating out.By one-fifteen my stomach was sending up “please explain” to me. Even the crisps had gone. There was nothing we could do except wait, and wonder if the hostess was going to perform some magic and feed us fashionably late. Then, as quickly as if word had spread that there was free beer at the local pub, the room emptied. By one-forty-five there were only a few guests left, so we decided to go home. Tinned soup for lunch that day because the little woman was notreally interested in real cooking for us.A few weeks ago we were invited out for “supper” and the hostess suggested 815. Ah, we thought greedily, “this is going to be the real thing.”We dressed with some care — I putting on a dark suit — and arrived on time. My wife looked pretty good, I thought — a little black dress and so on. But when we walked in I had a terrible feeling we had got the night wrong because the hostess was dressed in a daytime kind of way and the husband was in jeans and an open-neck shirt. But no, we were greeted and shown into the sitting-room.After a drink I looked around and saw that this was indeed a superior cottage because it had a (more or less) separate dining-room. But there were no signs of a table-setting. Not again! I thought. Were we meant to eat before we came? I deciough bread and all the makings of a simple meal. And that is what it was. In other words we had not read the signals right when we were invited for “supper”.If they want you to come to dinner, they say so, and you know that means dark suits and so on. If they mean supper, they say it, and you get fed in the kitchen.59．When the author and his wife were invited out for “a drink on Sunday morning”, they thought _________.A. they would be the only people thereB. they would be given lunch as wellC. they would be taken to a restaurant for lunchD. they would be asked to take some food with them60．The “party” had been going on for about an hour and three quarters when _________.A. the hostess decided to feed her guestsB. everyone had tinned soup for lunchC. most of the guests went to lunch at the pubD. the author realized he would go home hungry61．When invited out for “supper” a few weeks later, the writer_________.A. expected to be served a proper dinnerB. arrived on the wrong eveningC. interpreted the invitation correctly this timeD. realized there was no dining-room in the cottage62．As the evening wore on, the writer became aware that _________.A. no one used their dining-rooms in the countrysideB. he should have had a meal before going outC. “supper” meant a simple, informal mealD. he should, in future, eat only chocolate in the eveningDLast year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part.Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can.Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial (人工的) intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the state of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded thdeciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writings against those already examined.How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.63．What do the teachers think of the computer system?A. They think highly of the computer systems.B. They think that computers cannot grade writing as well as people.C. They believe that computers can understand a writer’s idea wellD. They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct students’ school work.64．From the first paragraph we can conclude that _________.A. American students’ writing ability is being improvedB. American students’ writing ability is not satisfactoryC. business leaders and teachers are not worried about students’ writingD. all college entrance tests will include a writing part65．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers?A. Saving much of teachers’ time.B. Saving a lot of money.C. Being fair and objective.D. Appreciating humor and beauty66．The best title of this passage might be _________.A. Computer-graded WritingB. Human-graded WritingC. How to Improve Students’ WritingD. Advantages of E-readersEPersonal GrowthThere are two basic ways to see growth one as a product, the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的，表面的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language — all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they gain new experiences and faceunexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront (正视) the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new wa being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive (优柔寡断)? Then we may hesitate, move slowly, and not take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal successfully with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary for us to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal (内部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease (停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.67．A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when_________.A. he has given up his smoking habitB. he has made great efforts in his workC. he likes learning anything newD. he has tried to determine where he is on his journey68．In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as ess would _________.A. succeed in climbing up the social ladderB. judge his ability to grow from his own achievementsC. face difficulties and take up challengesD. aim high and reach his goal each time69．When the author says “a new way of being”, he is referring to _________.A. a new approach to experiencing the worldB. a new way oapting to change70．For personal growth, the author supports all of the following except _________.A. curiosity about more chancesB. promptness (迅速) in self-adaptationC. open-mindedness to new experiencesD. avoidance of internal fears and doubts第四部分：书面表达 (共两节，满分40分)第一节：完成句子（共2014小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
