佛山一中2015-2016学年度上学期期中考试高三级英语试题本试卷共12页，满分为150分，考试时间120分钟第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ADear Friend,The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware thatthere's a huge market out there.And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worthof children's books bought each year plus stories and articles needed by over 650publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed downby self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you showbasic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisherby the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.Sincerely,KristiKristi Holl, InstructorInstitute of Children's Literature1.From the first three paragraphs, we learn that_____.A. children’s books are usually bestsellersB. publishers are making $3 billion each yearC. magazines for teenagers have drawn public attentionD. there is a growing need for writers of children's books2. When finishing the course, you are promised to_____.A. be a successful publisherB. become a confident editorC. finish one work for publicationD. get one story or article published3. Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to_____.A. prove she is a good instructorB. promote the writing programC. give her advice on course preparationD. show she sold more stories than articlesBWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about life — he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream–world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.4. This passage mainly tells us that intelligence is the ability_________ .A. to do well in schoolB. to behave immediatelyC. to know what to doD. to deal with life5. In the author’s opinion the biggest difference between “bright” children and“not bright” children lies in ____.A. the amount of intelligenceB. the different situations they faceC. the different attitudes to lifeD. the background of life6. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What’s real meaning of intelligence?B. What’s the “bright” children’s behavior?C. What’s a special outlook on life?D. How to live and behave in a new situation?7. What might the author continue to talk about in the passage that follows? .A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how an unintelligent person should be taughtC. how to judge whether a person is intelligentD. how education should be changedCOur village, Cinderland, was founded in 2000. It is a fully-sustainable(可持续的) eco-village on the Big Island of Hawaii located about 29 miles southeast of Hilo and 9 miles east of Pahoa. And it is within easy walking distance of the coastline —one mile north of Highway 132, just off Highway 137.Solar power supplies our electrical needs, and water catchment tanks hold abundant rain water for our use. Fruit trees and vegetable gardens are located throughout our tropical landscape and can be harvested at any time by the residents(居民) for their own personal consumption(消费).We accept all lifestyles and belief systems, and encourage individuality and diversity. A good attitude and an easy-going manner are most important to us; those qualities go a long, long way here!Tuesdays are a fun and big day here. In the morning, we all get together for a few hours for various work projects. In the afternoon, many will hop in the truck for a trip to the town of Pahoa. That evening, we then are all treated to what is well-known throughout this region as “Taco Tuesday”. Anyone is welcome to join us from the surrounding areas, which makes for a large gathering each week. It’s certain that drummers and other musicians will be playing around the fire pit (坑) each “Taco Tuesday”.With the exception of the few hours of work on Tuesdays, residents are free to do whatever they please. Some just relax, while others may snorkel(潜泳), surf, swim, shop, backpack, camp, go sightseeing, watch the lava flow, etc.It’s rare that someone leaves this area without feeling it is a life-changing experience. There are also many who decide to make it their permanent home.We are very welcoming. Come to give us a visit! Mahalo!8. Which of the following shows the position of Cinderland?C=Cinderland B=Big Island H=Hilo P=Pahoa9. Residents in Cinderland grow fruit trees and vegetables to .A. treat guestsB. make moneyC. satisfy their own needsD. attract tourists10. What do residents in Cinderland do on Tuesday?A. They work most of the time.B. They have fun most of the time.C. They have various work projects most of the day.D. They spend the whole day in the town of Pahoa.11. Where will we probably find the text?A. In a travel note.B. In an advertisement.C. In a newspaper story.D. In a textbookDEverywhere I look outside my home, I see people busy on their high-tech devices ( 装置 ), while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting on toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a flu-like relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if they are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for claiming the wisdom that “Too much of a good thing is wonderful.”But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, a former CEO at G oogle acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.”To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.12. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 proba bly means ______.A. advantageB. attemptC.adaptation D. attraction13. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A. attract people to buy their productsB. provide the latest informationC. improve peo ple’s quality of lifeD. deal with cultural diseases14. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. may enjoy life better without overused technologyC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. have realized the harm of high-tech devices15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. ObjectiveB.PositiveC. DisapprovingD. Sympathetic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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

In a textbookDEverywhere I look outside my home, I see people busy on their high-tech devices ( 装置), while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting on toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad andsimilar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a flu-like relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if they are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for claiming the wisdom that “Too much of a good thing is wonderful.”But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, a former CEO at G oogle acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.12.
