2016高三英语模拟卷新课标全国卷
2016高三英语模拟卷（一）第二部分阅读理解(共20题，每题2分，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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source ofheat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas.B.The energy for their houses.C.The fashions for their houses.D.The building materials for their houses.25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.A.keeping their livestock downstairsB.protecting their livestock from the coldC.sharing their houses only with their cowsD.living on the second floor with their livestock26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A.heat raises the temperature in the housesB.heat goes in the upward directionC.heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.heat increases the temperature of rocks27. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A.people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksC.energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureD.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologyCPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about th e part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transportor car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours31. The main purpose of the passage is _______.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsDArt is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To break away f rom this, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a “singer” to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the “singer” will produce a sa ndpainting on the floor. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the “singer” will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won’t harm anyone.The art of sandpainting is handed down from old “singers”. The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground(研磨) much as corn is made into flour. The “singer” holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor, with a steady hand and great patience. He is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho doesn’t allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural po wers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Navaho IndianB. The Ancient “Singer”C. Functions of ArtD. The Navaho Sandpaintings33. How did the “singer” treat the patient according to the passage?A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.B. By applying a magic substance to the patient’s body.C. By rubbing the patient’s sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.34. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because _______.A. anything copied has no effectB. the craft only belongs to the supernaturalC. it’s against Navaho belief systemD. the copying may do harm to other Navahos35. That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows ________.A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintingsB. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintingsC. more people have come to believe in supernatural powerD. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings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。

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized (把……归类) as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us foran item. If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk’s mistake，we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case，where we don’t tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process，we would lose some peace of mind and self?respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling ourfamily and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast，bringing_the_error_to_the__clerk’s__attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self?respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it’s started，it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness.to the passage，the positive action inthe example contributes to our________.?respect rewardsability relationshipauthor thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to________.underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means________.the truth to the clerkadvice to the clerkthe clerk to be more attentivethe clerk of the charged itemswill we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?’ll be very excited.’ll feel unfortunate.’ll have a sense of honor.’ll feel sorry for the clerk.of the following can be the best title of this passage?to Live Truthfullyof Peacefulnessof Gaining Self?respectthrough Honorable ActionsB(2013·济宁高考模拟)A euphemism (from the Greek words eu—well and pheme—speak) is a word or ex pression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people，for example，would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying：We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly，or cuddly rather than fat.Euphemisms are an important part ofevery language，but it seems that English has an ever?growing number of them. The non?native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears，he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom，or comfort station) is，but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned，for example，that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant. If，however，he says to his boss，“Congratulations! I hear your wife is in the family way，” he would be using an ex pression that is too familiar for the circumstances.Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School，for example，the special lessons given tostudents who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school).Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward，and usually choose a softer word or ex pression to convey the same message.to the passage，people use euphemisms in order to________.themselves understoodembarrassmentsound straightforwardattentionperson who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact________.and handsome and slimbut tall and fatan English lady says she has to see a man about a dog，she might want to________.her old dog killed an ugly friendto the toilet a pregnant womanmain purpose of Paragraph 2 is to________.that euphemisms are an important part of every languagereaders that English has an ever?growing number of euphemismsnon?native speakers use euphemisms as often as possibleEnglish learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemismsFrankfurt International School，the students who receive lessons in Study Center________.poor grades in the subjects well in schoolhard at their lessons to learn more答案及解析一.单项填空1.解析：考查情景交际。

Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in wood -making when I was in Grade 10,”he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”“I real ized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,”he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turn ed my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss , who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keepspushing him further. He’s already planning to go back to school to study engineering.61. What can we know about WorldSkills Competition?A. It provides professional training.B. It is a top event for skilled youth.C.

Confidence.C. Honour.D. Interest.65. What might Dustin Sherrard do next?A. Retum to school to study.B. Find a’ better job.C. Take part in more competitions.D. Work together with his uncle.CDo you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card — the one you use for shopping — maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just wat ching…66. The author intends to tell us that ________.A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters67. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D. The sensor is multi-functional.68. According to the author, in 2040, new technology _______ .A. will turn everything into sensorsB. will free us from the keys we use todayC. will make the lock out of dateD. will remove all crimes69. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people ________.A. will have no entertainment outsideB. will replace TV with computersC. will be controlled by computersD. will have more fun at home70. The best title for the passage might be ________.A. Life at Home in the Year 2040B. Sensors and ComputersC. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn't return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good ne ws for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are li kely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxationC. It is increasingly popularD. It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional coursesB. Make plans for the new termC. Earn money for their educationD.
