At the Snowdonia Ce ntre, the beginners’ costs of ￡57 do not cover ___________.A. foodB. roomsC. body exercisesD. walking shoesBOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest （卑微的）to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.4. What does t he underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.5. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like to thank the old man6. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful.7. What message is mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CRubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. In the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like recycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life every day is a huge burden for any country.8. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?A. Producing electricity.B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C. Reducing 95% of the waste.D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.9. Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.A. the separation of rubbishB. the problems with burning rubbishC. the safety of burning rubbishD. the cost of burning rubbish10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. rubbish should be separated when it is burningB. landfills are too dangerous to be built too manyC. there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubbishD. developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish11. After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk about next?A. Pollution.B. Landfills.C. Recycling.D. Environment.DIt cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and necessary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real and planned.Stick to your goal.Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, thedesire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset （心态）earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. While in the process you may encounter （遭遇）plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the four habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or later.12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you _________.A. reflect on your goal moreB. are more concentrated on a goalC. are more eager to succeedD. try your best to avoid failure13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People are all eager to succeed in life.B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D. failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to?A. detail.B. Failure.C. Goal.D. Success.15. The best title for the passage could be _________.A. Four Habits to Help You SucceedB. Make the right decisionC. Failure is the mother of successD. Find the core values of success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。

Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to yourcore values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal,the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and necessary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real and planned. Stick to your goal.Failure can ' t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don into this trap! Remember your mindset （⼼态）earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn ' t. Use failure. Treat it good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. While in the process you may encounter （遭遇）plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the four habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or later.12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you ___ .A. reflect on your goal moreB. are more concentrated on a goalC. are more eager to succeedD. try your best to avoid failure13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People are all eager to succeed in life.B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D. failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14. What does the underlined word “ it ” in the passage refer to?A. detail.B. Failure.C. Goal.D. Success.15. The best title for the passage could be __ .A. Four Habits to Help You SucceedB. Make the right decisionC. Failure is the mother of successD.

甘肃省2019届高三英语上学期第二次模拟考试试题第Ⅰ卷（共70分，请将答案涂在机涂卡上）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AUK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study abroad. However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in. Tuition fees have now reached £9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options.Tianjin UniversityMoving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around £400 a month and tuition f ees are £2,300 a year. Flights will cost £ 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at £ 28,800, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.University of AmsterdamThe Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £1,800 a year make it signific antly cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.University of MilanThe University of Milan’ s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English---Political Science is a three-year course. While livingcosts in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.1. What is probably the total cost of a three-year degree in Britain?A. £ 14,400B. £ 27,750C. £ 28,800D. £ 57,6002. Where can you major in Political Science?A. London and Tianjin.B. Amsterdam and London.C. Amsterdam and Milan.D. Tianjin and Milan.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To encourage people to study abroad.B. To introduce some affordable universities.C. To advertise some degree programs.D. To compare tuition fees and living costs.BEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied, “No,I’m not hungry yet,” and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火) in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a q uestion. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention, or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.4. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.5. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A. Different cultures.B. Different characteristics.C. Different ways of communicating.D. Different educational background.6. Compared with women, men _______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD. are better at building relationships7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCSo many of us hold on to little resentments(怨恨) that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else toreach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mi ne, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggeste d that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we t urn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.8. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “____________”.A. RecoverB. developC. acceptD. replace9. Acco rding to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________.A. she had a bad health.B. she had disagreed about her son’s marriage.C. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-law.D. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years.10. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.11. The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. instruct the readers how to apologize.B. teach the readers how to gain inner peace.C. inform the readers the importance of being forgiving.D. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.DPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun , see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.12. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up w ith the latest technologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet13. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him14. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one’s commu nication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later15. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)涂卡注意E=AB F=AC G=ADComing face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful，to say the least. 16 It even makes you question yourself．Your natural reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely．But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately help you grow as a person. Here’s how to do it．1．Be objective about the criticismBefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively. Next time you get a bad review, don’t immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. 172．Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take．In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. 18 3．Be open to the idea of change19 And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that c an prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most．4．Ask questionsIf you’re open to using the criticism as a springb oard(跳板) to improvement, you will likely need more information. 20 Your emotions will be tiding high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information．However, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you．Even if you don’t agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it．A．Most of us are pretty stubborn．B．There is no doubt that change is necessary．C．But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument．D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere．E．It challenges the way you believe people see youF．Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it．G．The initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details．第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness, but what theygot was only annoyance, grief and misery.So they ___21___ Socrates (苏格拉底) for advice on where happiness ___22___.

The 4-yearold has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7-year old’s long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys’ heads. I love everything about these girls. and they know it.But I try not to tell them they’ re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressur es of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets. “feeling fat”, or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls,as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are. Here’s the thing. though. What we’re also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way. ,the more I’m conveying the importance of thos e things.However, it doesn’t mean I don’t praise my girls. Instead of saying “You look beatutiful!” I might say the more specific “Don’t you look fancy today!” or “Those colors go so well together. ” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in change of how they look.Naturally, I buy most of my girls clothes. But I don’t usually manage their outfit （整套衣服）choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head-to-toe pink, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we’ve seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and theywalk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what l or anyone else will say about how they look. And that’s the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.4．What do the author’s two daughters have in common?A．Both like to smile.B．Both have blond hair.C．Both like strawberries.D．Both have big blue eyes.5．Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful?A．She prefers inner beauty.B．She expects them to face reality.C．She wants them to focus less on it.D．She doesn’t think they can understand it.6．How does the author treat her daughters?A．She avoids praising them.B．She pays attention to their unique style.C．She is particular about their clothes.D．She sets strict clothing rules for them.7．Which of the following best describe the author’s daughters?A．They are fully confident.B．They are highly dependentC．They tend to take advice from their mother.D．They have a good taste in dressing themselves.CChinese people are now living happier and longer than before. According to the latest study, the number of people over 60 years old is 130 million, making up 10 percent of the whole population, and increases at a rate of 3 percent per year. This marks that China has stepped into the aged society. It is the Chinese tradition to respect, love, support, and help old people, and the aging problem has received more and more attention from the society.China has bu ilt the system to protect and serve old people’s legal (法律的) rights and interests, gradually developed social insurance, public health services and social welfare (福利) projects for old people, and alsoapplied the minimum living standard protection (最低生活保障) system for the aged who are unable to work and receive no supports. Now, China is bringing the aging problem into the work of sustainable (持续的) development according to China’s conditions, to build and develop a social security system for old people, set up a system combined with the state, collectives (集体) and families to solve the problem of “the elderly should be provided for”. The life of China’s old people is more colorful along with the fast and sound economic development of the country.Old people in today’s China who don’t have to consider their food and clothing hope to live more colorfully. The happy psychology (心态) of the aged makes them______knowledge. Strong and healthy old people can be seen everywhere of the country. They learn new knowledge, surf the Internet, practice handwriting and drawing, and take part in fashion shows, exercises and entertainments. Their active and sound living attitude encourages the youth around and they are in fact an important role in ensuring a stable and peaceful society.8．The underlined part “thirsty for” (in the last paragraph) means “________”.A．want to drink water B．feel hungry C．want to learn D．want to teach9．Which of the following is NOT the author’s idea?A．China has entered an aged society.B．All people in the society should care for the old.C．Old people’s active living ways have a good effect on the young.D．The society hasn’t done enough for old people.10．What would be the best title for the passage?A．How to respect old people B．Old people’s life in ChinaC．O ld people’s problem D．Old people’s wishes11．From the passage we can know that the author is ________ about the aging problem in China. A．disappointed B．hopeful C．worried D．doubtfulDMy friend Jason and I wanted to do something to help other people who are less lucky and help us grow at the same time. After we decided that we would volunteer in Nepal, I did some surveys on the Internet and I found an organization called Volunteer(志愿者) Nepal and felt strongly that it was the right choice for us.While making our plans, Jason and I realized that others might like the chance to be a part of our experience. So before leaving for Nepal, we asked the people we know whether they would be interested in donating(捐赠) money or goods to Nepal Orphans Home.One friend, whose family owns a shop called Drake Supermarket, told others about it. Many people wanted to donate something. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, children's books, and more, The boxes were later taken to Drake's warehouse(仓库) where I prepared them for shipment. Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free .The boxes had arrived at the Volunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I opened the boxes. The children from the orphanages(孤儿院) stood in a line and were able to choose a gift. This took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.We visited the orphanages there in the following days. Being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful. I’m sure that anyone who has volunteered will understand what I mean by that. My experience as a volunteer was very useful. It has changed me as a person and the way I viewed life in the past. 12．The writer did some surveys on the Internet probably to_______.A．get in touch with some students B．decide country to volunteerC．find some friends to volunteer with him D．find an organization for volunteers13．Before leaving for Nepal, the writer______.A．asked his friends to go with himB．filled 29 boxes with the things he boughtC．received many donations from other peopleD．bought many things in Drake Supermarket14．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．The writer didn't expect the kids would love the gifts.B．The children were very happy to receive the gifts.C．The children had never received gifts from others before.D．The writer and his friend took the gifts to the orphanages.15．The writer thinks that his experience as a volunteer was______.A．useful B．embarrassingC．boring D．disappointing七选五(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。
