AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It‟s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the intervie wer‟s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy‟s heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” He thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy‟s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you‟d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and the y shared a cup of well-deservedcoffee as he landed himself a new job.21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work.B. He was bored with his job.C. He wanted a higher position.D. he hoped to find a better boss.22. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. A friend‟s car had a flat tyre.B. A wild man was pushing a car.C. A terrible car accident happened.D. An old man‟s car broke down.23. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He was also to be interviewed.B. He needed a traveling companion.C. He always helped people in need.D. He was thankful to Jimmy .24. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer‟s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicants.B. There was no hope for him to get the job.C. He regretted helping the old man.D. The interviewer was very rude.BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.25. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.A. the reasons for success.B. the meaning of successC. the standards of success.D. the importance of success26. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to _______.A. being good at something.B. setting a practical goal.C. putting in more time.D. succeeding in life27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.28. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.C.Interested in sharing your views in the Campus Link?

They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read, or to write and do mathematics.A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills. Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work. Their brains just process information differently than other people. Researchers say that one in five people in America has some kinds of learning disability. Almost three million children in America receive some kinds of help in school for a learning disability.How can you tell if someone has a learning disability? Experts look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no sign of a disorder. A few signs of a learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task Different people have different kinds of learning disabilities. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing.These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia. Someone who cannot do mathematics may have a disorder called dyscalculia (计算困难).Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people who have them can be helped. Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Cost of learning disabilities.B. How to cure learning disabilities.C. General introduction to learning disabilities.D. Causes of learning disabilities.34. It is believed that ____ is the main cause of learning disabilities.A. different brainB. mother languageC. being lazyD. the different ways the brain works with information35. People with learning disabilities may have no trouble ____.A. understanding a funny storyB. following directionsC. dressing themselvesD. reading numbers correctly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。

2015年福建省师大附中高三上学期期末考试英语试卷(带解析)

绝密★启用前2015年福建省师大附中高三上学期期末考试英语试卷（带解析）试卷副标题考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：98分钟；命题人：xxx学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________注意事项．1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（题型注释）Tests are not fun —but they’re necessary ．But in places like Colorado, Connecticut and New York, we’re seeing a new and problematic movement within public education to convince parents to pull their children from participating in any standardized testing ．They’re o pting out of （决定退出）the exams designed to measure how well our schools are teaching our children. Let’s look at why some parents are opting out ．The most common argument is that standardized testing takes too much classroom time away from instruction ．Yes, in too many schools and in too many districts, there is an overemphasis on testing ．As a parent, I understand that problem ．My daughter came home from public school one day and said class was easy now that ―the test‖ was over ．And I thought, ―What are we communi cating to our kids if they think the test is the most important thing —and once it’s over, learning ends?‖Those test-crazed districts need to change ．But a new study by Teach Plus, an organization that advocates for students in urban schools, found that on average, in grades three and seven, just 1.7 percent of classroom time is devoted to preparing for and taking standardized tests ．That’s试卷第2页，共16页not shocking at all ．Most people spend a larger percentage of their waking day choosing an outfit to wear or watching TV.We also shouldn’t accept the false argument that testing restricts educators too much, stifles innovation(革新) in the classroom or takes the joy out of teaching ．That line of thought assumes that the test is the be-all and end-all —and if that’s the perspect ive, the joy is already long gone ．Teachers enter this profession because they care about kids, believe each one has the ability to succeed and want to teach far beyond minimum proficiency ．The most valuable teachers are those who impart knowledge, not just information, and do so in a way that engages students and makes school interesting.―Okay,‖ the opt -out crowd replies, ―what about kids who are stressed out and suffering from anxiety because of standardized tests?‖ You know what? Life can be stressful; it can be challenging ．The alternative is to hand out prizes just for participating, give out straight A’s for fear of damaging a kid’s ego—and continue to fall further and further behind as a country ．I reject that mind-set(心态).Rather than encouraging parents to opt out of testing, it would be much more productive for the leaders of this distracting movement to help improve the assessments ．Make the exams more reflective of student learning ．Ultimately, students and educators need test data —opting out does harm to both ．And it risks endangering the progress that all of our children need. 1、The author uses her daughter’s example to show ________. A ．some schools overemphasize testing B ．her daughter is not a good student C ．the test is most importantD ．the quality of tests should be limited2、The underlined word ―stifles‖ in paragraph 4 can best be replaced by ________. A ．prevents B ．encourages C ．expects D ．guides3、In the author’s eyes, stress ________. A ．can be got rid of easily B ．should be treated objectively C ．is more important than praiseD．affects children’s development4、Which of the following shows the structure of the text?A．B．C．D．CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point C: ConclusionAre we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill．―If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,‖ Crabtree told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea．In the past, intelligence was critical for试卷第4页，共16页survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food ．The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death ．However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in dense(稠密的) farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand ．Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going – you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer comes ．And the same is also true of our intelligence – if we think less, we become less smart.These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years ．The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes ．He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence there are two or more mutations in each of us.However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence ．For example, spearing a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem ．Moreover, the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.―You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago ．He just wouldn’t exist,‖ Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science ．―But now we have people of his intellectual(智力的) capacity doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation.‖ 5、What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?A ．The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.B ．Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.C ．Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.D ．Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.6、According to Crabtree, ancient humans ________. A ．were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures B ．had much more genes that determine human intelligence C ．relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence D ．developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the severe realities7、So me argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think ________.A．people today are under much more pressure than early humansB．it’s ridiculous to compare a hunter’s and a poet’s intelligenceC．modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD．human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past8、What is Thomas Hills’ attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?A．Supportive.B．Concerned.C．Unfavorable.D．Puzzled.The Sieferts are the kind of environmentally conscious family who has solar panels atop their home．They use timers on their kids' showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping．But they feel kind of guilt．―I haven’t thought about the pool as much as I probably should,‖ said Annette Siefert.As California's drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water．Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools aren't the water wasters some have made them out to be．Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size．Over time, pools might even use less water．With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发) can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping.Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis．It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill originally, but they use about 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that．By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pool's water use falls below that of a lawn.Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similarconclusions．Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will试卷第6页，共16页reconsider their ban next week.―We want to respect the people's rights to use their possessions ．There are many families we know that have saved for pools,‖ said Jonath an Volzke, spokesman for the 155,000-customer district ．―But at the same time, the reality around us is that we're in the third year of a serious drought, and we don't know if we're in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10-year dr ought.‖9、Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of ________. A ．being a typical water waster B ．the water-use of their swimming pool C ．her control over her kids' showers at home D ．the construction of the drought-tolerant landscaping10、According to analyses and scientific studies, a swimming pool ________. A ．had better be filled up in the beginning B ．becomes more efficient against drought C ．isn't what people think to be wasteful of water D ．consumes more water than a lawn of the same size11、What does Jonathan Volzke try to express in the last paragraph? A ．He expects the serious drought to come to an end. B ．He thinks highly of those who have saved for pools. C ．He tries to hold the right to use the swimming pools ． D ．He appeals for reasonable use of the swimming pools. 12、What would be the best title for the passage? A ．Water Crisis in California B ．Strict Ban on Filling PoolsC ．Pools —A Big Factor During Drought?D ．The Sieferts —Real Environmentalists?Our magazine is presenting to you the top five i-phone(the best seller of Apple Company) applications for more fun on hiking(徒步旅行) or camping trips recommended by our A-list field hikers and travelers.1．GPS Kit by Garafa – Get un-lost (for $10)What it does: Download before you leave or use your phone’s data co nnection to view mapsfrom Google (satellite, landscape, cycling, and street), or Bing (shaded relief, street, or image)．Record your movements, drop notes or photo makers on previously–downloaded Google Earth.2．Photosynth by Microsoft – Perfect the view (for free!)What it does: Make interactive 360˚×360˚ panoramas(全景) to your own taste．It saves the panorama as a single image to your camera roll after combining images．Once you get to know how to hold the iPhone and move to take the photos, you can have pretty simple, fast panoramas!3．Soundcloud by Soundcloud – Share the sounds (for free!)What it does: Basic sound recorder with on-board editing (cutting) functions．Upload your recordings to the internet, share on social networks and listen to and follow others!

C ．World Weatherlink. D ．Space Exploration.阅读理解A At a recent visit to the beautiful Keukenhof flower gardens in Holland, I learned about the practice of topping ．As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of the flowers, which they believe causes the plants to invest more energy into flower growth and less into seed production ．The expected result is flower buds that will produce higher quality flowers ． This is the same with personal growth ．Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be helpful to cut them off and throw them away ．This can free up energy for a stronger attempt elsewhere instead of settling into the comfort zone of satisfaction with the old results ．After running my computer games business for 10 years and getting satisfying results with it, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind ．This freed up my energy to focus on my personal development writing and speaking ．If I'd kept running the old business, this would have meant less energy to invest in my new path ．It can be difficult to choose the topping approach because you're taking something that's already reasonably satisfying and cutting it out of your life, in the hopes that something even better will grow in its place ．Do you want to settle where you are right now? If so, then topping is unnecessary ．But if you'd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at Keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practice ．To free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactory ．This gives you a shot at the truly beautiful ．Stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can result in a lot more growth than staying put ．Though dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, I do find it to be the more beautiful path ． 17、By using metaphor(比喻), the author means that the tops of flowers are ________． A ．personal growth B ．his writing and speaking C ．a stronger attempt elsewhereD ．the first results we produce in a certain area18、If you believe that you "have a good shot at improvement", you believe that ________. A ．you are good at improving B ．you are fond of improving C ．you have a strong ability to improve D ．you have a good chance to improve19、The author calls on the readers through the passage to ________． A ．settle where they are B ．drop the truly beautiful C ．step out of their comfort zone D ．get rid of the uncomfortable experience20、The best title of the passage should be ________． A ．Flower Gardens in Holland B ．Comfort or Growth C ．Personal Development D ．The Topping Approach二、完形填空（题型注释）试卷第10页，共16页完形填空（共1小题）The writer Devin with his friend Johnson went to his favourite news-stand ．Johnson ___ the salesman selling the newspapers gently, but in return he received poor ___．The salesman never even looked up at his customer when he ___ the late-night edition ．Accepting the ___, Johnson politely smiled and wished the salesman a pleasant weekend ．The salesman made an unclear sound and seemed ___ that the two men had completed their business ．As the two friends walked down the street, Devin asked, ―Does he always treat you so ___?‖―Yes, ___, he does,‖ Johnson responded ．―And are you always so ___ to him?‖ ―Yes, I am!‖ Johnson ___ as they turned a corner ．―Why are you so nice when he is so unfriendly to you?‖ Johnson ___, ―Because I don’t want him to ___ how I am going to act.‖Is it your circumstances or the difficult people in your life that determine your ___?
