To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age.To do so at 22, like Jennifer Lawrence, is just amazing.Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards for her role in
the film Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine's Richard Corliss, Lawrence is a rare young actress who lends mature intelligence to any role.
Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, she wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14.She thought she'd go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.
Lawrence's two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight A student.Unlike them, she suffered through school, never finding where she belonged.However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress.When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜)．
“I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this，” Lawrence said.“Within 20 minutes in the cab ride from the hotel, I decided I didn't want to be a model.In fact, I wanted to be an actress.” Having appreciated this young lady's performa nce, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot.But she insisted on finishing high school so she could pay her full attention to her acting career.
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest grossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time.Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”．
5．Which of the following is true of Jennifer Lawrence?
A．She achieved her dream by chance.
B．She used to be a well known model.

C．Winning Young D．Following Dreams
Ⅴ.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。
__1__Men lie；women lie.Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.
Dr.Robert G．Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than
women.“Men are more concerned about how t hey present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that，” he says.“Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.__2__.”
Women, on the other hand, Dr.Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face.Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone's eyes like men. Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently.“__3__.They plan better，” Callender notes.“They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected.With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.”Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.__4__. Dr.Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.
“__5__.Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything said needs to be true.” he says.
A．Be truthful at any cost.
B．Men also lie to each other.
C．Everyone lies from time to time.
D．Women are much more careful in their lies.
E．Men think less about how the lie can be detected.
F．He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn't have to.
G．Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

高三英语周练（1）试题 命题人：考试时间：50分钟总分：89分 Ⅰ. 阅读理解(满分39分) A Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you! La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must________. A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 2. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia. D. In China.

2016高三英语模拟考试 II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. (A) Once just a science fiction idea, VR has now become more accessible than ever. (25) _________ (wear) a pair of VR goggles connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of the room. From climbing (26) _________ (high) mountain in the world to flying a spacecraft, the things you can experience with VR are limitless. This new 'reality ' is starting to takeover China. The Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior was released on March 18 during the 12th TFC Global Mobile Game Conference & Intelligent Entertainment Expo held in Beijing. The report is based on a survey of 5,626 people, (27) _________ (age) between 15 and 39, from across the country. It shows that up to 68.5 percent of people have heard of or are interested in VR products. But surprisingly, it isn't new technology that has made VR so popular. 'VR has been (28) _________ for many years, but it will stick this time because there's enough computer power and the price will just keep going down,' Todd Richmond, a VR group member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the US, told USA Today. VR (29) _________ (expect) to change various different fields. For example, VR could be used to train pilots and miners before they had to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments, or to treat patients with acrophobia(恐高症）by making them think they were standing on top of a high building. 'If you have perfect virtual reality, (30) _________ you'll be able to simulate everything that a human can experience or imagine experiencing,it's hard to imagine where you go from there,' Palmer Luckey, 23 inventor of the Oculus VR goggles, told NPR. But the technology is still far from perfect. Users report experiencing motion sickness, headaches and other discomfort while wearing VR goggles. Also, (31) _________ more and more tools are flooding the market, the software that runs VR games and simulators has yet to catch up with all the new advancements. It could take (32) _________ while for VR to be widely accepted. When every new technology is first introduced, the technology (33) _________ is the driving force. But for it to really blend into people's lives, meeting basic and practical needs should be the main aim. (B) It has become the talk of the town: A stranger allegedly attacked a woman in a Beijing hotel at night on April 3. The man is said to have clutched her by the neck and attempted to drag her into the elevator. Lodgers passed by, but no one tried to intervene until one woman did. Her actions are believed to (34) _________ (save) the victim from whatever was going to happen to her. The incident has pushed the risks of solo traveling into the spotlight. Online forums like Sina Weibo (35) _________ (flood) with advice for how women (36) _________ protect themselves

III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
