Two．B. Five．C. Four．D. Three．BMany cities in the world are benefiting from the nocturnal （夜间活动的）activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla （游击队的）gardeners．Armed with trowels ，spades and a van full of flowers and plants，guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color．In city centre locations where there was mud，weeds and empty plastic bottles，residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants．In most British cities，local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploit of the gardeners，whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall．And so far，there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion．Not only do the guerilla gardeners beautify neglected places，they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds．They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens，which means that the area doesn't look dismal in the winter months．The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds，whose day job is at an advertising agency．Mr．Reynolds，a graduate of Oxford University，began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London．From his balcony，he could see several empty concrete pots，placed by the local government to contain plants but never used．He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants，and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block．He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him．Cash donations flooded in and，more importantly，volunteers rushed to be part of thecampaign．Within six months，there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize （恢复活力）neglected parts of the urban landscape．There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition．21.According to the text，guerrilla gardeners got their names ______ ．A. because of the residents' adviceB. from the local governmentC. for the nature of their workD. based on the local cultures22.These guerrilla gardeners do their work ______ ．A. at the request of the governmentB. nearby their houseC. often in return for others' helpD. of their own free will23.Why do the guerrilla gardeners often return to their former working place？______A. To look after these plants．B. To enjoy these beautiful flowers．C. To help plants live through winter months．D. To change the types of these plants．24.Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants with the purpose of ______ ．A. making the neighborhood more beautifulB. agreeing with his own jobC. advertising some products in his agencyD. killing his spare time25.It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners ______ ．A. are mainly from the United KingdomB. will later get well paidC. are still not accepted by the local peopleD. become more and more organizedCFor thousands of years，people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else．"While we teach，we learn，" said Roman philosopher Seneca ．Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date．They're documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn，and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction．Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material，recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively．Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake．But how can children，still learning themselves，teach others？One answer：They can tutor younger kids．Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings （兄弟姐妹）．This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings．Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects．They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students，who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic．But the most cutting-edge （最前沿）tool under development is the "teachable agent" - a computerized character who learns，tries，makes mistakes and asks questions just like areal-world pupil．Computer scientists have created an animated （动画的）figure called Betty's Brain，who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students．Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials．While preparing to teach，they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding．And as they explain the information to it，they identify problems in their own thinking．Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors' learning．The agents' questions compel （强迫）student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways ，and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action．Above all，it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning．Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail，but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive（获得）pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment．26.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies？______A. Seneca's thinking is still applicable today．B. Better learners will become better teachers．C. Human intelligence tends to grow with age．D. Philosophical thinking improves instruction．27.How does teaching others benefit student tutors？______A. It makes them aware of what they are strong at．B. It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching．C. It helps them learn their academic subjects better．D. It enables them to better understand their teachers．28.What do we learn about Betty's Brain？______A. It is a character in a popular cartoon．B. It is a teaching tool under development．C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games．D. It is a tutor for computer science students．29.What do students do to teach their teachable agents？______A. They motivate them to think independently．B. They ask them to design their own questions．C. They encourage them to give prompt （迅速的）feedback．D. They use various ways to explain the materials．30.What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning？______A. Their sense of responsibility．B. Their emotional involvement．C. The learning strategy acquired．D. The teaching experience gained．DA new batch of young women - members of the so-called Millennial （千禧的）generation - has been entering the workforce for the past decade．At the starting line of their careers，they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been - or than their young male counterparts are now．But when they look ahead，they see roadblocks to their success ．They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job．They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them．And they assume that if and when they have children，it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers．While the public see greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago，most believe more change is needed．Among Millennial women，75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace，compared with 57% of Millennial men．Even so，relatively few young women （15%）say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender．As Millennial women come of age （成年）they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts．They want jobs that provide security and flexibility，and they place relatively little importance on high pay．At the same time，however，young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs：34% say they're not interested in becoming a boss or top manager；only 24% of young men say the same．The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s，when many women face the trade-offs （权衡）that go with work and motherhood．These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2，002 adults，including 810 Millennials （ages 18-32），conducted Oct．7-27，2013．The survey finds that，in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades，young women view this as a man's world - just asmiddle-aged and older women do．31.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers？______A. They can get ahead only by striving harder．B. They expect to succeed just like Millennial men．C. They are generally quite optimistic about their future．D. They are better educated than their male counterparts．32.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace？______A. They are the target of discrimination．B. They find it satisfactory on the whole．C. They think it needs further improving．D. They find their complaints ignored．33.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age？______A. A sense of accomplishment．B. Job stability and flexibility．C. Rewards and promotions．D. Joy derived from work．34.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about？______A. The welfare of their children．B. The narrowing of the gender gap．C. The fulfillment of their dreams in life．D. The balance between work and family．35.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey？______A. They still view this world as one dominated by males．B. They account for half the workforce in the job market．C. They see the world differently from older generations．D. They do better in work than their male counterparts．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）When I was eight，I wanted a toy and needed ﹩10 to buy it．But，as usual，I was broke ．I decided to ask my 11-year-old sister，Kathleen，for a loan．I went to her room，(36) her for the cash．Laughing，she agreed to lend me the money，but added，"I will charge you 10 percent compound interest （复利）every(37)until you pay me back．" "Compound interest - what's that？" I asked．"Well，interest is what you call the (38)money borrowers have to pay back on a loan，" she explained．"Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the(39)you take to pay back the loan．To repay the loan，you will need to give me﹩11 after one month．If you wait two months to pay me back，your (40)will grow from﹩10 to﹩11．So I'll be charging you interest on﹩11．Then I will add that interest to the﹩11 you already owe me，for a (41)of ﹩12.10．That's what you'll owe me after two months．""Sure．I get it，" I said．Though truthfully，I was getting (42)．Kathleen lent me the money，and I bought the toy．My birthday came a month later，and my mom gave me﹩10．(43)，that was just the amount I needed to buy another toy I wanted (44)．I put off paying my sister for a month．However，after another month，I (45)about the loan．Several months later，on Christmas morning，my sister and I each found a﹩20 bill in our stockings．I was just putting it into my pocket (46)Kathleen tapped me on the shoulder．"Sorry，kiddo．That's mine．I'm (47)on your debt．""Huh？" Then I (48)the loan．"Hey!

dress，food and hours of work - while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with．Mostly，it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them，like the climate，while getting on with business．Some of the differences may be an improvement．People are more polite；the service is better；you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again．However，other differences can be troubling，like punctuality．If you invite people toa party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time inGermany，five minutes early in the American Midwest，an hour early in Japan，15 minutes afterwards in the UK，up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece．I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times when people arrive．It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country．Why did the author feel sad about what the head of the Personal Department said？（no more than 10 words）______What does the phrase "on the surface" in Paragraph 3 mean？（no more than 10 words）______According to the author，what should we do with most cultural differences？（no more than 10 words）______In the example mentioned in Paragraph 4，why do people from different countries arrived at different times？（no more than 15 words）______Suppose an exchange student from USA lived with your family，how would you help him to get used to the cultural difference？Give your reason．（no more than 20 words）______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）57.假设你是晨光中学的学生会主席李华．学生会将举办每年一度的英语演讲比赛，本年度的主题为"The English Novel I Like Best"．作为组织者，你将在演讲比赛开幕时发言，请你根据以下提示用英语写一篇发言稿．（1）说明比赛的意义，如提高英语听说能力，养成读书的习惯等；（2）说明比赛的注意事项，如每人演讲不超过5分钟，语言流利，发音准确等；（3）预祝比赛圆满成功．注意：（1）词数：不少于100词；（2）可适当加入细节，以使行文连贯；（3）发言稿的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入词数．Good afternoon，ladies and gentlemen，Welcome to this year's English speech competition．______Thank you!答案和解析1.【答案】B【解析】答案：B 考查语言交际．A项：不用谢；B项：就这么简单，就这样；C项：是这样；D项：对的．根据句意，B项符合题意．--我们应该给汤姆什么生日礼物？一个足球，一个MP4，一个飞机模型…？--就这样．让我们给他买个飞机模型．语言交际是灵活多变的，要注意根据语言环境具体问题具体分析．要做好这类题，需从以下三个方面着手：1．仔细审题，明确大意：首先要仔细审题，即在对话不完整的情况下，尽量弄懂该篇对话的大意和情景（如购物、看病、问路和应答、约会、口语应用等）．2．分析对话，试填答案：在解题过程中，要根据具体语境和上下文，分析对话中所缺部分、判断所缺的句子．3．全文复读，融会贯通：在试填好答案之后，应从头至尾再把对话读一遍，按照对话情境，中心内容，推理判断．2.【答案】C【解析】答案是C．考查指示代词．one 泛指上文提到的单数形式的同一类事物；ones 是泛指上文提到的复数形式的同一类事物；that 特指上文提到的同类事物，且常有定语修饰；those 指代上文提到的远距离或空间的人或物．句意是"令他高兴的是，Tom很快取得了他女朋友的信任，然后取得女友父母的信任．"用that指代上文提到的the truse，后面有介词短语of her parents作定语进行修饰．故答案是C．令他高兴的是，Tom很快取得了他女朋友的信任，然后取得女友父母的信任．解答此类题目，首先需要明确句意，其次清楚每个选项的含义和具体用法，然后结合句意选择正确的答案．3.【答案】A【解析】答案：A can't不可能；mustn't不准；needn't不必；wouldn't不会；句意表达的是肯定的语气，you can't miss it是指路时的常用表达方式，意思是你一定能找到你要找的地方．故选A．-打扰一下，你能告诉我最近的文风超市怎么走吗？-好的，它就在前面的两个街区．你肯定能找到．情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点．通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测，本题考查的是情态动词在交际用语中的使用．学习时要注意积累．4.【答案】A【解析】考查动词短语的辨析．put up张贴；举起；建造；提供食宿；set down制定；（使）放下；（叫…）下车；记下；come about发生；take up占用；开始从事；接受（提议）．句意：年轻的背包客在英国旅行时总是在青年旅社住宿．故选：A．年轻的背包客在英国旅行时总是在青年旅社住宿．本题考查动词短语的辨析．在高中的学习中平时要多积累动词及动词固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的．5.【答案】B【解析】答案 B be caught in属于固定搭配，意思是"遇到，遭遇"，此处空白处作主语the yong man的后置定语，句中无连词，应该使用非谓语动词caught 作yong people 的后置定语．故答案为B这位年轻人，路上遇到繁忙的交通，回家比平常晚了一小时．本题考查非谓语动词，对于非谓语动词的考查，一定要学会判断语态，根据主被动就可以排除掉干扰项，然后根据动作发生的先后顺序判断时态，最终选出正确答案．另外，对于固定搭配平时需要多积累，多总结，这样才能提高正确率．6.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查定语从句．本句中，countryside是先行词，从句中缺少的成分是定语，只有whose可以在从句中作定语．故选：C．越来越多的人愿意住在乡村，对于他们来说乡村的新引力在于平静慢速的生活．处理定语从句题目时，首先要准确判断从句类型，然后根据从句中缺少的成分，结合先行词，得出正确答案．7.【答案】B【解析】本题考查实义动词．update 更新；校正，修正；使现代化；accompany 陪伴，伴随；伴奏；establish 建立，创立；确立；identify 确定；鉴定；识别，辨认出．根据句意：您的护照申请表应附两张近照．意思是护照申请表和照片都需要．故选：B．---女士，填好护照申请表就行了吗？---您的护照申请表应附两张近照．考查实义动词的辨析．动词辨析注重考查考生结合语境准确选用动词的能力．平时要求学生注重积累，掌握动词词组的搭配，结合语境，才能选出正确答案．8.【答案】B【解析】考查一般现在时．根据句中的状语 usually，要用一般现在时的单数形式．故B项正确．其它三项不符合语境．故选：B．在夏季，当大学生搬离他们的宿舍，寻找新地方搬进时，租金通常会上涨．解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义，并区别各种时态之间的差异，了解某些时态的特殊用法，然后结合语境选择正确答案．9.【答案】C【解析】本题考查表语从句．is后面是表语从句，从句中concerned about后面缺少宾语，用what引导表语从句．故选：C．空气污染是当今大多数中国人关心的问题，因为他们的健康正受到威胁．本题考查名词性从句，首先判断属于哪种名词性从句，再判断从句缺少什么成分，如果缺少主宾表，用what，不缺少成分和意思用that，缺少疑问词根据句意判断．10.【答案】D【解析】答案：DA．way 方法，方式；B．situation 情景，形式；C．event 事件，项目；D．choice 选择根据题意一周里，星期六是举办婚礼最受欢迎的"选择"日．故选：D．一周七天里，在有些国家，星期六据说是婚礼最受欢迎的选择．本题考查名词辨析．要求学生平时多积累词汇，再结合具体的语境判断．11.【答案】B【解析】本题考查倒装句．根据句意和结构可知这句话使用not until+then置于句首，后面用部分倒装，和was一致用一般过去时．故选：B．---你参观过军事博物馆吗？--是的，直到那时才知道导弹是什么样子的．英语中常见的特殊句式有倒装句、省略句、强调结构等，由于其句子结构特殊，不要与其他句式混淆导致失分．12.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据Some English idioms are difficult to understand可知you know the meaning of each word表示即使你知道每个单词的含义，你可能也不能理解，所以答案是B even if"即使"．其他选项的含义分别是A"要是这样就好了"；C"好像"；D"既然"．---一些英语习语很难理解．---确实如此．即使你知道每个单词的含义，你可能也不能理解．考查从属连词．even if 即使，纵然．引导让步状语从句的（=even though）1．I wouldn't lose courage even if I should fail ten times．即使要失败十次，我也绝不灰心．2．Don't utter hard words even if you feel angry．即使是生气也不要骂人．13.【答案】A【解析】本题考查不定式。

The doll found a home and，I hope，a new life．Maybe she was used to repair other dolls．Perhaps those strange eyes got fixed and once again can inspire a child's love．It's a win-win，if you ask me．I also sold lots of other stuff．None of them brought in a lot of money，though I have been surprised at the occasional bidding war，like，for example，the one over an old swimsuit that would have made Brigitte Bardot look bad．And some customers，let's face it，are strange．Recently I had a hard time convincing an Australian would-be buyer of an Irish souvenir bell that I don't shop internationally；it's just too much trouble．He could have flown to Ireland and bought his own bell for the price he was willing to pay．Another time，a buyer complained that the electric wire on an old radio was dirty．Really？Dirty？The wire was black．But I aim to please，so I offered a refund．So why bother with the dealing and small profits Because I don't like abandoning the past．All these treasures once had stories．They meant something．But the people who gave them that meaning are gone，and I simply cannot rescue everything．I can't even sew．So I find it satisfying that a new owner，discovered via eBay，will continue the story in his or her own way．16.What was the doll like？______A. It was lovely．B. It was beautiful．C. It looked frightening．D. It was pretty ordinary．17.Which can best replace the underlined word "defects" in Paragraph 3？______A. Faults．B. Virtues．C. Pictures．D. Requirements．18.Why did the author refuse to sell the Australian the bell？______A. She thought he was strange．B. His bid was not high enough．C. Someone else had already bought it．D. Delivering it to him was troublesome．19.After receiving the complaint about the radio，the author ______ ．A. felt deeply sorryB. explained patientlyC. returned the moneyD. apologized immediately20.Why does the author sell used stuff via eBay______A. She needs money badly．B. She is an environmentalist．C. She is interested in marketing．D. She wants their stories to be continued．BIn recent years，a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy，including our eating environment and our perception（感知）of the food in front of us．Studies have shown，for instance，that eating in front of the TV （or a similar distraction）can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed．Even simple visual clues，like plate size and lighting，have been shown to affect portion size and consumption．A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite．Several hours after a meal，people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them-in other words，how much they remembered eating．This disparity （新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal，says Jeffrey M．Brunstrom，a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol．"Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal．We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says．"This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought．"These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself．In a 2011 study，for instance，people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels ofhunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories．Moreover，the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake．What does this mean for our eating habits？Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less，the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating．The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite，Brunstrom says．21.What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake？______A. How we feel the food we eat．B. When we eat our meals．C. What element the food contains．D. How fast we eat our meals．22.What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal？______A. You would probably be more particular about food．B. You would not feel like eating the same food．C. You would have a good appetite．D. You would not feel so hungry．23.What do we learn from the 2011study______A. Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases．B. Food labels may influence our body's response to food．C. Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories．D. People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary．24.What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite______A. Trick ourselves into eating less．B. Choose food with fewer calories．C. Concentrate on food while eating．D. Pick dishes of the right size．25.What is the main idea of the passage______A. Eating distractions often affect our food digestion．B. Psychological factors influence our hunger levels．C. Our food intake is determined by our biological needs．D. Good eating habits will contribute to our health．CWhen we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with（担负着）unbearable levels of debt' the conversation is almost always about student loan debt．But there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that today's young adults are also drowning in credit-card debt and that many of them will take this debt to their graves（坟墓）．More than 20% overspent their income by more than ﹩100 every single month．Since theyhaven't built up their credit histories yet，it's a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt．Although many young people blame "socializing" as a barrier to saving money，most of themaren't purchasing ﹩20 drinks in trendy bars．They're struggling with much more daily financialdemands．To a disturbingly large extent，the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday．This obviously isn't permanent in the long run，and it's going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years，because they'll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti （意式面条）they bought a decade earlier．A new study out of Ohio State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups，and that they're slower at paying it off．"If what we found continues to hold true，we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future'" warns Lucia Dunn，professor of economics at Ohio State．"If our findings persist，we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who can't pay off their credit cards．"Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt．"Many people are borrowing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not plenty to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life which could have loss impacts for the credit card issuing banks，"26.What is the main idea of the first paragraph？______A. Many young Americans will never be able to pay off their debts．B. Credit cards play an increasingly important role in college life．C. Credit cards are doing more harm than student loans．D. The American credit card system is under criticism．27.Why do young people have to pay a higher interest on their credit card debt？______A. They tend to forget about the deadlines．B. They haven't developed a credit history．C. They are often unable to pay back in time．D. They are inexperienced in managing money．28.What is said to be the consequence of young adults relying on credit cards to make endsmeet？______A. It will place an unnecessary burden on society．B. It will give them no motivation to work hard．C. It will exert psychological pressure on them．D. It will affect their future spending power．29.What will happen to young adults if their credit card debt keeps accumulating according toLucia Dunn______A. They will have to pay an increasingly higher interest rate．B. They may experience a financial crisis in their old age．C. Their quality of life will be affected．D. Their credit cards may be cancelled．30.What does Lucia Dunn think might be a risk for the credit card issuing banks______A. They go bankrupt as a result of over-lending．B. They lose large numbers of their regular clients．C. Their clients leave their debts unpaid upon death．D. Their interest rates have to be reduced now and then．三、阅读七选五（本大题共2小题，共12.5分）The final results of Best-Ever Teen Fiction vote are in．While it's no surprise to see Harry Potter and The Hunger Games series on top，this year's list also highlights some writers we weren't as familiar with．For example，John Green，author of The Fault in Our Stars，appears five times in the top 100．Summer，like youth，passes quickly．But the books we read when we're young can stay with us for a lifetime．The following are the top 4on the list．Enjoy．1．Harry Potter seriesThe Harry Potter books make up the popular series written by J．K．Rowing．The series includes seven books．The books concern a wizard （魔法师）called Harry Potter and his journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry．The stories tell of him over coming dangerous obstacles to defeat the dark wizard Lord Voldemort who killed his parents when Harry was 15 months old．2．The Hunger Games seriesIn the ruins of a future North America，a young girl is picked to leave her poor district and travel to Capitol for a battle to the death in the cruel Hunger Games．But for Katniss Everdeen，the main character in this series by Suzanne Collins，winning the Games only puts her deeper in danger as the strict social order of Panem begins to unravel （瓦解）．3．To Kill a MockingbirdAuthor Harper Lee explores racial tensions in the fictional "tired old town" of Maycomb，Ala．，through the eyes of 6-year-old Scout Finch．As her lawyer father，Atticus，defendsa black man accused of a crime，Scout and her friends learn about the unjust treatment of African-Americans - and their mysterious neighbor，Boo Radley．4．The fault in Our StarsHazel Grace，a teenage girl，has got all sorts of cancer inside her body，and her lungs aren't working very well．She knows she is dying and doesn't live in hope any more．When a man named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at the Cancer Kid Support Group，Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten．（1）What do we know about John Green？______A．One of his novels tops the list．B．Many of his novels are very popular．C．He is the favorite writer of many teens．D．He was a well-known writer long before the vote．（2）Who is the author of The Hunger Games series？______A．Harper Lee．B．John Green．C．J．K．Rowling．D．Suzanne Collins．（3）What is To Kill a Mockingbird mainly about？______A．Lifelong friendships．B．Racial discrimination．C．A man working as a lawyer．D．A little girl's difficult childhood．（4）Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars ______ ．A．is very optimisticB．writes a great storyC．makes many mistakesD．is changed by Augustus．（5）In which part of a newspaper can we find the text probably？______A．Sports．B．News．C．Literature．D．Entertainment．31.

I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live．This brings me to the real reason for my letter，my dear grandson．Your mother tells me that your started smoking some time ago and now your are finding it difficult to give it up．Believe me，I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is tostop．You see，during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes．By the way，did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways？First，you can become physically addicted to nicotine（尼古丁），which is one of the hundreds of chemical in cigarettes．This means that after a while your bodybecomes accustomed to having nicotine in it．So when the drug leaves your body，you get withdrawal symptoms．Secondly，you become addicted through habit．As you know，if you do the same thing over and over again，you begin to do itautomatically．Lastly，you can become mentally addicted．I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette，so I began to think that I could only feel good whenI smoked．Quitting smoking was really difficult because I was addicted in all threeways．But I did finally manage．When I was young，I didn't know much about the harmful effects of smoking．I didn't know，for example，that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant．Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers．However，what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible．She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly，and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much．When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit，I knew it was time to quit smoking．I am sending you some advice I found on the internet．It might help you to stop andstrengthen your resolve．I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have．Love fromGrandpaWhy did the writer mention the long bike ride and his age in the letter（no more than 15 words）______What's the purpose of writing the letter（no more than 10 words）______What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean？（no more than 5 words）______ Why did the grandpa decide to quit smoking（no more than 20 words）______Do you think it easy or difficult to quit smoking Please give James some possible advice to help him．（no more than 15 words）______六、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）54.假如你是高三学生李津，你想选择一所外地的大学，而你的父母想让在本市上大学，你很苦恼，请给你在中国留学的美国朋友Tom写一封求助信，主要内容包括：1．你的苦恼2．你和父母各持己见的理由3．询问Tom的建议注意：（1）词数不少于100；（2）可以适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯；（3）开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数．Dear Tom，Long time no see． As it won't be long before I graduate from high school， I have to c hoose an ideal university in advance， which makes me really annoyed．Yours，Li Jin答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．l'm afraid not恐怕不行l'm not sure我不确定yes，with pleasure是的，很高兴no l won't 不，我将不会．根据句意，A项正确．故选：A．你能给我几分钟吗？恐怕不行．但是今天下午我有时间．本题考查交际用语，准确掌握相关交际用语的含义，平时多积累一些交际用语，结合语境，选出正确的答案．2.【答案】D【解析】答案：D解析：A：两者都；B：每个（大于或等于两者）；C：两者中的任何一个；D：两者都不。

are some letters from our readers：★Yes，many cyclists believe dangerously．Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists．But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders．People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around them．They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere．The rest of us have to evade（避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision （碰撞）．The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important than the welfare of others．﹣Mechael Horan ★I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （Viewpoints，May 29）．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads．I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me．The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used．The police do nothing．What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，fluorescent（发荧光的）jackets and lights at night and in the morning．They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them．﹣Carol Harvey ★Cyclists jump on and off pavements （which are meant for pedestrians），ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red．I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him．Other road users，including horse rides，manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists？It's about time they were registered and insured，so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation．﹣JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper．（1）Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that．A．drivers should be polite to cyclistsB．road accidents can actually be avoidedC．walking while using phones hurts one's eyesD．some pedestrians are a threat to road safety（2）Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should．A．be asked to ride on their own lanesB．be made to pay less tax for cyclingC．be fined for laughing at policemenD．be provided with enough roads（3）What is a complaint of JML？A．Very few drivers are insured．B．Cyclists ride fast on pavements．C．Pedestrians go through red traffic lights．D．Horse riders disrespect other road users．（4）The three letters present viewpoints on．A．ways to improve road facilitiesB．the real source of road dangerC．measures to punish road offencesD．increased awareness of road rules18．（12.5分）eXp Realty is one of the world's fastest﹣growing and most successful real estate （房地产）companies．It has become famous not for investing in actual real estate，but for focusing on virtual reality offices that allow its agents and brokers （中间商）to interact and socialize from anywhere around the globe．Glenn Sanford，eXp Realty's founder and CEO，founded the company a decade ago，soon after the real estate market collapse of 2007．He couldn't afford to buy or rent office space．What's more important，he figured that focusing on a system that allowed his team to work remotely would help the company avoid possible real estate crises in the future．So eXp Realty relied on services like Google Docs，project management solutions like Trello，and communications app Slack to help its workforce work together in virtual reality．"The virtual campus is a big part of our growth engine．If we were limited to actual offices，the growth we've had simply wouldn't be possible，" Scott Petronis，chief technology officer of eXp Realty said．Having a virtual campus in the virtual world rather than in the real one apparently hasseveral major advantages．For the most important one，eXp Realty can hire whatever talent they like，no matter where they are．As long as they have Internet connection，they can interact with their colleagues and the company management like avatars （虚拟人）because they can walk around the campus，enter various virtual facilities，and interact with each other．While the main focus is on work and brainstorming，eXp Realty is constantly adding fun stuff as well，like riding on a virtual lake and enjoying a drink at the bar．At the beginning of 2018，eXp Realty had around 6，500 brokers，but till today that number has increased to over 12，000．They are operating in 300 markets across the US and Canada．If that isn't enough to convince you，the company was recently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market，with first﹣day market capitalization of over ＄1 billion．But it doesn't own or lease any more physical space than what is required by law．（1）What do we know about eXp Realty？A．It relies much on technology．B．It was founded by accident．C．It's famous for its large offices．D．It's a branch company of Google．（2）What mainly inspired Glenn Sanford to adopt virtual offices？A．He could work closely with famous online services．B．He is quite professional in the field of information technology．C．Virtual offices can enable him to avoid potential real estate

Industry Grow So Quickly？B．Billion Dollar Real Estate Company一eXp RealtyC．Virtual Reality Office Vs．Physical Office SpaceD．What Can Virtual Reality Do to Our Business？19．（15分）Average age is rising around the world﹣﹣a demographic （人口统计）change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change．Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research，Germany，have found that energy use increases as we get older，and not just because we tend to get wealthier．An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use，their study suggests．They combined two decades，worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009．They found that，on average，children's energy consumption （消耗）climbs as they grow up，before dipping slightly when they leave home．Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s，before briefly dropping after 55，and then beginning to climb again．The study involved factors such as income，local climate and the age，type and size of a person's home．The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan （寿命）seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age．Why does demand grow so much in our 30s？"We need more of everything．More space，a bigger TV two fridges，" says Estiri．The study found that，in warmer parts of the US，energy use increases in people over the age of 65﹣probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning，This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse．Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming．More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions （排放），and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel﹣free．"This confluence （汇集）of population，ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thinking about，" says Estiri．Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex，UK，says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions．Most modelling of climate change mitigation （减缓气候变化的模型）assumes people's energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time．"This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy，says Sovacool．Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter，UK，says the research could have an important influence on policy makers．"What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy，but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy，"she says．（1）By saying "not just because we tend to get wealthier" in Paragraph 2，the writer probably means that．A．poor people can't bring down the high demand for energyB．a comfortable life is not the main cause of in creased energy useC．there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumptionD．people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption（2）What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3？A．Children consumes more energy when they leave home．B．Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55．C．The researchers built a model to study the data from US households．D．Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages．（3）Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support？A．Energy will stop increasing when people get older．B．His research could inspire policymakers to change current polices．C．Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered．D．Old people should use fossil fuel﹣free rather than electrical energy to keep cool．（4）What is the shortcoming of most modeling of climate change mitigation？A．It is expensive and difficult to promote．B．It overestimates the household energy consumption．C．It did not take climate change adaptation into account．D．It regards energy consumption as stable or as only slightly changing．（5）What can we learn from the last paragraph？A．More emphasis should be put on people's energy use．B．The government can't do much without the support of the study．C．It is the buildings，not the people in side，that consume the majority of the energy．D．Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people's energy use．（6）Which column may the article be taken from on the Internet？A．Health．B．Environment．C．Human．D．Technology．20．（12.5分）Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer．For example，children may end up thinking it's their fault or simply "catch" the emotion．Indeed，this worry has a sound basis ﹣the phenomenon of "emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real，and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist，for example，to their children．On the other hand，there is the natural idea that we should "be real" with our children，and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being．There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children：suppression （压抑），"uncontained" expression，and talking about emotions．Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion．Unfortunately，it doesn't work very well ﹣the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure．Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it，making them feel stressed．The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children，they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child's needs．On the other hand，"uncontained" expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child．Uncontained means high intensity emotion，with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it．Shouting，smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this．So，what is the middle ground？That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them．Classic research found that six﹣year﹣old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective﹣taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three．In fact，the more the mothers had talked，the better the outcome would be．So next time you feel sad，angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion，do explain what's going on in terms they can understand．（1）The author uses the example of going to the dentist mainly to．A．explain parents' common fearB．introduce the topic of negative emotionsC．show children may catch parents' emotionsD．present the consequences of transferring negative emotions（2）If a mother suppresses （压抑）her emotions，．A．she will not make her kids feel stressedB．she can hide her emotions from her kidsC．she will often shout at her kids for no reasonsD．she can't respond effectively to her kids' needs（3）What does the underlined word "salutary" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？A．Enough．B．Beneficial．C．Necessary．D．Reliable．（4）What is the author's intention of writing this text？A．To encourage parents to "be real" with our children．B．To call on parents to develop a positive attitude to life．C．To inform parents of the consequences of negative emotions．D．To recommend parents to talk about negative emotions with children．（5）What's the structure of the text？A．B．C．D．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题．21．（10分）Kobe Bryant wasn't the first NBA player to visit China．But he was the first player to help China grow into a basketball﹣crazed nation．Kobe's first visit was in 1998，and in conducting basketball clinics （篮球训练营），doing business and participating in charity，he was warmly welcomed in the basketball﹣loving country．Once，nearly 15，000 people showed up at 9 am for an event at which Kobe was scheduled to appear at 4 pm．USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo saw firsthand Kobe's popularity during Kobe's time with Team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics，when as captain he led the team to a gold medal．"There were tens of thousands of people on the streets，yelling，'Kobe! Kobe!' It wasunbelievable，just unbelievable，" Colangelo said．"It's harder for me to walk around here than in the United States，" Kobe once told reporters in China in 2013．"It's uncontrollable．Fans rush you and surround you，and it gets to the point where you can't go out．"His last visit was in August last year for the 2019 FIBA World Cup．He told reporters，"I watched the country develop from the ground up．I watched Beijing grow．I watched the passion for the game develop．My goal is to develop the country's basketball to a level where they can compete with the best basketball countries in the world，" Kobe said．Kobe was and perhaps remains China's favourite NBA player，and fans in the country were shocked by his death in a helicopter crash in January this year．Tencent，the NBA's digital partner in China，posted a memorial page that drew more than five million visitors in less than five days．Just two days before Kobe died，he posted a short video on the Chinese micro﹣blogging site Weibo，wishing Chinese fans a happy new year．How sorrowful his fans are when they watch the video again!（1）Apart from being an excellent NBA players，what else makes Kobe Bryant special to Chinese fans？（no more than

2020年天津市和平艺术中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2020年天津市和平艺术中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.4. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B. She was trapped.C. She was hungry.D. She was wet.5. Why was the bird unable to fly?A. She needed a thorough checkup.B. She should be given a drying-off.C. She was completed overweight.D. She was simply extremely strong.6. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.7. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.CANew Zealandcouncil has announced a month-long road closure in order to allow a sea lion and her pup to reach the ocean safely.John Wilson Ocean Drive in Dunedin will be closed after the New Zealand sea lions made their home at a nearby golf course and started "regularly crossing the road to get to the beach," according to a Facebook post from Dunedin City Council."You can still visit the area on foot or by bicycle, but please give the sea lions lots of space," continued the post.Locals applauded the decision, and one even called for the closure to be made permanent."No dogs should be on the beach, either," wrote Gaylene Smith. "We need to protect our beautiful sea life."Dogs are known to attack sea lions, and Chisholm Links Golf Course, where the sea lions have made their home, also posted advice to dog walkers in a Facebook update."We're lucky to have sea lions on our coastline and we need to share the space with them,as this is what makes our coastline so unique!" wrote the course on Facebook.The council went on to explain thatNew Zealandsea lions are endangered, and are one of the world's rarest species of sea lion.There are an estimated 12,000New Zealandsea lions left, according to the Department of Conservation. Under local law, anyone who kills a sea lion could face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to NZ$250,000(US$178,000).8. What decision has the Dunedin City Council made?A. Closing an ocean drive for a month.B. Forbidding entry into a golf course.C. Forbidding walking dogs outside.D. Closing the nearby beach temporarily.9. How did the City Council announce the decision?A. By informing on TV.B. By sending out notices.C. By posting on Facebook.D. By advertising in a newspaper.10. What is the attitude of the local people toward the closure?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Uncaring.D. Critical.11. What can we learn aboutNew Zealandsea lions from the text?A. They are afraid of humans.B. They are a common species.C. They are being killed by dogs.D. They are under legal protection.DIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.12. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens13. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.14. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.15. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per person.1. From where does the author look at the tigers?A. Through the windows of his house.B. In the closed areas of tigers.C. In the areas for walking.D. In their natural environment.2. Where can visitors see the most diverse styles of architecture?A. At Ice Lantern Festival.B. On the Russian Manchurian Railroad.C. On TheCentral Avenue.D. OnGuogeli Avenue.3. When walking in the city ofHarbin, what can visitors still strongly feel?A. The Russian flavor.B. The influence of Guogeli's realism.C. The damage to Saint Sophia Church.D. The mixture of American and Japanese cultures.BThefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces. The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.5. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A. At birth.B. Half a year old.C. Nine months old.D. In adolescence.6. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. Depressed.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D. Surprised.7. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A. People need to take it seriously.B. Certain techniques can make up for it.C. It will be cured in the near future.D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.CYou've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that "more" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.8. What does the underlined word "it' in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phone recording.B. The 10,000-step rule.C. The healthy living.D. The fitness-tracking method.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How many steps a Japanese walks.B. How we calculate the number of steps.C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific.D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.10. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager?A. Senior citizens.B. Young short-legged people.C. Healthy long-legged peopleD. Weak individuals.11. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day?A. 4,400 steps.B. 10,000 steps.C. 2,700 steps.D. 7,500 steps.DJon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improvethe quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.12. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.13. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.14. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.15. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worries第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年天津市和平艺术中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案解析
2020年天津市和平艺术中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ARome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 anight, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.Youth Station HostelIf you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1.What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?fort.B.Security.C.Price.D.Location.2.Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?A.Yellow Hostel.B.Hostel Alessandro Palace.C.Youth Station Hostel.D.Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.3.What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?A.It gets noisy at night.B.Its staff is too talkative.C.It charges for Wi-Fi.D.It’s inconveniently located.BSome of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems amundanetask, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home.Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.4. As a child, the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because ________.A. she was good at cleaning the combB. she thought that she should do that as a good girlC. her dad was home early to spend the evening with herD. the comb was important for her father and her mother5. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined wordmundanein paragraph two?A. importantB. excitingC. unnecessaryD. uninteresting6. When the author said, “It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it.”, she felt ________.A. disappointedB. impatientC. tiredD. sorry7. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Evenings With Dad.B. How to Clean the Comb.C. My Memory with My Dad.D. I Love My Family Members.CYou don't generally expect to put yourself in the public eye whenyou go on vacation. However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.8. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?A. They decided to do all with that money.B. They bought something in souvenir shops.C. They turned it over to the local police station.D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.9. Which o£ the following can best describe the locals in Crete?A. Polite and hard-working.B. Kind and grateful.C. Sociable and honest.D. Rich and determined.10. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar" in the last paragraph?A. They want to take fewer flights.B. They can't handle more radars.C. They hope to gain less attention.D. They don't have more money.11. What can we learn from the text?A. Good things come to kind people.B. The early bird catchesthe worm.C. Behind bad luck conies good luck.D. Money is too much for strangers.DMy mother is a teacher. I often asked her, “ Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, “It’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a“High” one called the Wire Walk.In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can't.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do.12. Why did Susie stop halfway up to the wire?A. It was too high for her to reach.B. She was too afraid to move on.C. Something was wrong with it.D. The teacher asked her to do it.13. Why did Mary break the silence?A. To try again herself.B. To relax the writer.C. To encourage Susie.D. To draw Susie's attention.14. What can we learn from the story of Susie?A. Helping others is helping ourselves.B. A word of encouragement matters a lot.C. Outdoor activities bring peoplecloser than ever.D. A good method plays an important role in teaching.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Wire WalkB. That One MomentC. Fear and CourageD. The Young Hearts第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

with children to enter a photo contestBDuring this shopping season，salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business．Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale．However，sight is not the only sensory （感官的）retail that companies use．Sounds and smells can also influence consumers' purchasing decisions．Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response．A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender （薰衣草）was given off and when it wasn't．It found that the smell increased the number of consumers' purchasing items and the amount of their purchases．An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more，and were willing to pay more，when the room had a mixed smell of flowers．Realizing the subconscious impact of smell，many stores apply artificial scents （气味）through their heating and air-conditioning vents （通风口）or place scent machines above their doors．For instance，a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation．Ever felt frenzied due to a store's fast-paced music？Or calmed by a piece of light music？A retailer's choice of music can have a big impact on consumers' moods．One study found that when subjected to loud music，consumers will spend less time in a store．But interestingly，the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers' satisfaction．Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music．Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments，many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers．Well，you could always leave

HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English28.From the last two paragraphs，we can conclude that ______ ．A. singing is the best way to learn a foreign languageB. brain probably works best when foreign language learners sing the wordsC. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learnerD. Dr．Katie Overy and Dr．Ludke disagree with each other29.What's correct about the study undertaken by the researchers at the University ofEdinburgh？______A. Altogether twenty adults were tested in the study．B. People in the 3rd group performed as well as the other 2 groups．C. People in the 2nd group were asked to speak the words to a beat．D. In the study 60 adults were divided into 3 groups according to abilities．30.In which situation can the finding of the research be applied？______A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak．B. A child is going to have his first music lesson．C. A student is going to learn a new English song．D. An American is going to learn some Chinese．DWith child behavior，there is almost much more than it meets the eye．Because it occurs at so many different levels，child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another．For instance，a little child's pattern of getting into cupboards，drawers and closed rooms，even after being told not to，is easily considered as bad behavior．When viewed at that level，the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment．But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level，namely child exploration．If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities，the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries．When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition，they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it．Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child's safety，it is less likely to lead to punishment．There are countless other examples．Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child's attempt to express physical affection for a pet．Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen's need for independence．The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to beoppositional，selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level．However，when viewed at a more meaningful level，the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive．This doesn't mean the behavior should be ignored，especially if it is inappropriate．But looking at the bigger picture of a child's behavior，adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they're dealing with，which can create more flexibility in how they respond．31.According to Paragraph 1，we can know that child behavior ______ ．A. is very changeableB. is inacceptableC. occurs at different levelsD. is fully understood by adults32.The example in Paragraph 2 mainly shows that ______ ．A. parents should properly punish child behaviorB. parents should keep children's safety in mindC. children's behavior shows their interestsD. there are different attitudes to child behavior33.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？______A. The child will insist on doing things with determination．B. The child will have to make frequent decisions．C. The child will make new discoveries in the future．D. The child will develop a strong sense of achievement．34.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3that ______ ．A. child behavior usually reflects a child's needB. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspectsC. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parentsD. children spending time with friends show their selfishness35.What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child's behavior？______A. Have a positive attitude towards it．B. Ignore the improper behavior．C. View it at the basic level．D. Watch over it from head to foot．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）I never knew how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died．I discovered something I had (36) forgotten，something that happened to me as a child．One day，as I went to sleep after my sisters and I had said our prayers，I recalled the events of the day and how(37) I had behaved toward Mother．"I must make things right now，" I thought．Quietly I(38)out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser，and then tiptoed into the hall．The (39)from the living room shone dimly．I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing．I quickly(40) a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so(41)．I didn't want my sisters to know my business so I (42)a postscript，"Please don't let anyone else see this．" Then I (43)moved into my parents' bedroom and put the letter under Mother's pillow．The next morning when I (44)my bed after breakfast，I(45) found a return note under my pillow．Mother wrote that she loved me and (46) me．This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked(47)or disobeyed．Mother always left a return note，but she never (48) our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family．Even when we were(49)，she never mentioned them when we sisters (50)our childhood．When Mother passed away，I had to go through her personal belongings．In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon．On top was a message in handwriting which read，"In the event of my death，please (51)these．"I(52)the package and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom．To my(53)，I recognized my childish writing，"PS．Please don't let anyone else see this．Love，Edie．" I gently placed the unopened bundle in the(54) along with other things for the rubbish burner．"Lord，" I prayed，"make me like(55)．"36.

Mother四、阅读表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）56.I stood at the edge of the cliff．The wind stung my eyes，cutting into myskin．Dark-feathered birds circled the air，swooping （俯冲）low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner．Hundreds of feet below，the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore．I took a deep breath，filling my lungs with excitement - and at the same time，fear．Behind me，I heard the rest of the crew start to mutter．I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things，and this scene was right in the middle of the climax （故事的高潮）．It was vital that this went right．The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double （替身演员），but I'dpersuaded him that I could handle the dive．I'd taken a diving course a few years ago，and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old．I had been prettyconfident that I could do this - up till now．Someone called out，"Ceria，you don't have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive？" It was one of the producers，Callie Evans．I knew I couldn't turn back now．I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on the director's face when he was told that I couldn't do it．At that moment，all my fears and worries broke free．The expectation of adventure and victory seemed to move all the hesitation．I swooped downwards．The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms．I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds，yet time seemed to slow down so I could hear the thrilled whoops of my crew and a round of applause that seemed to echo in my pounding ears．At the beginning，how did the author feel about what she was going to do？（No more than 3 words）______What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean in English？（No more than 15 words）______Why was the author that confident in diving？（No more than 10 words）______What was the crew's reaction while the author was diving down？（No more than 10 words）______How do you like the author？Please explain why．（No more than 25 words）______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）57.假如你是天津晨光中学的学生李津，你在互联网上看到关于加拿大Columbia International

application formDear Ms． Christine，I am Li Jin，Yours SincerelyLi Jin答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．A项用以表示不必道谢、道歉；B项意为"没门儿"，表示拒绝；D项表示拒绝或告诉对方某事不重要，不必为此事担心．No problem表示欣然接受对方的请求．另如：-Can I bring a friend？-Sure，no problem．"我可以带过来一个朋友吗？""当然，没问题．"故选：C．--我心事重重．你能给我一些建议吗？--没问题．告诉我，我将尽力做．情景对话题主要考察英语的日常用语、习惯用语以及各种场合的交际性语言，并从实际出发，考查交际语言的运用能力．做题时仔细阅读上下文，找出上下文之间的联系．2.【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题主要考查介词辨析．of关于；属于…的；without没有；beyond 在远处；超出或迟于（某时间）；无法（理解或相信）等；in 在…里面；在某一段时间内；用…语言等；在…方面；根据句意和介词搭配判断，用beyond表示"无法…"，beyond words表示"无法用语言表达"，所以答案选择C．故选：C．听完这个感人的故事后每个人都感动得说不出话．介词辨析要在掌握各介词的基本用法和固定搭配的基础上结合语境做出符合逻辑、常理的推测．3.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．本题考查固定搭配的用法．A项be caught into 意为被捉住，D项意为被困住．根据句意可知D项符合．故选：D．句意：在网上回答问题之前要仔细考虑．你可能会被困在泄露非常重要的个人信息中．本题考查动词和短语辨析，掌握和弄清它们的意思，就能准确的得出答案．4.【答案】D【解析】考查倍数的表达．根据句意和结构可知这句话使用倍数的表达：倍数+as+形容词原级+as的结构．故选：D．我昨天买的那件外套一点也不贵，事实上，我愿意付两倍的钱．本题考查倍数的表达，倍数表达有：倍数+形容词/副词比较级+than；倍数+as+形容词/副词/（名词）+as；倍数+the+名词+of；倍数+从句．5.【答案】C【解析】答案C解析：动词短语辨析．A使高兴起来，使振作起来；打起精神 B接管；C出版，激发，说出；D放好；收起来；储存；打消．根据句意激发出一个最好的品质．故选：C．几乎所有的教育家都说有挑战性的情景能够激发出一个人最好的品质．动词短语是高考必考题，在平时的学习中要把同种类型的短语放在一起比较，诸如此类的固定短语，属于最基本的知识，如果学生有错误，则应该加强背诵并平时多解题，进而加以巩固．6.【答案】C【解析】答案：CA．关系副词where：作地点状语；B．关系副词when：作时间状语；C．关系代词that：作主语或宾语；D．连接代词what，不能引导定语从句；本句是定语从句；先行词atmosphere指氛围，在从句中作are short of的宾语，所以用关系代词that引导该定语从句，故选：C．这家饭店有其他很多饭店所缺少的诱人的像家一样的氛围．本题考查了定语从句中关系代词的用法；做类似的题时，需要熟练掌握定语从句的结构特点以及各关系代词的用法．7.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查表语从句．句意：唯一的问题是我们总是迷路！但是天津人非常友好，乐于助人．A．why为什么；B．whether是否；C．that引导名词性从句时，不做句子成分，只其连接作用；D．how如何．此处为表语从句，从句不缺成分，应使用that引导．故选：C．唯一的问题是我们总是迷路！但是天津人非常友好，乐于助人．本句是一个名词性从句，解题时要分析句子的结构判断是什么从句，然后根据不同从句的解题技巧选出不正确的答案．同位语从句属于名词性从句中的一种，也是学生们需要掌握的一种基本的英语句型，引导名词性从句的连接词选择是考试的重点，学会分析从句的句子成分是解决名词性从句的解题关键．8.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．考查时间状语从句．根据句意可知，此处表达"在我跑过去帮忙之前"，连词before符合题意，故选：A．---你为什么不帮这个小男孩？---噢，在我跑过去帮忙之前，他一直挣扎着站起来．根据句意大意，分析句子结构，区别选项词义，得出最佳答案．9.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查将来进行时．结合语境及后文的then可知，"明天的九点"正在参加会议，所以用将来进行时，即will be doing结构．其中，A项为将来完成时，B项为过去进行时，D项为现在进行时．故选：C．--如果我明天早上九点打电话给你方便吗？--恐怕不行，那时我将正在参加会议．考查将来进行时．做题时一定要找准时间状语是什么，此题的关键是9 o'clock tomorrow morning及then，同时，要清楚常用九种时态的结构．10.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．考查情态动词．句意：--毕业后你会在哪里工作？--妈妈，还没有确定下来呢．我可能会继续学习获得更高的学位．根据答语中的"it"s not been decided yet"可知，此处暗含不太确定的语气，故选might．故选：D．--毕业后你会在哪里工作？--妈妈，还没有确定下来呢．我可能会继续学习获得更高的学位．对于情态动词，除了要求考生能够准确掌握它们的基本用法外，还要充分利用高考试题所设置的语境来分析句子之间所体现的特殊关系．11.【答案】A【解析】答案：A题干中expose to nuclear radiation even for a short time是作主语，要用动名词形式；be exposed to暴露在…之下，搭配短语．故选：A．暴露在核辐射下哪怕很短的时间也会造成人体内基因的变异．动名词是非谓语动词的一种，在句中可以作主语，宾语，表语等，相当于名词．学习时，要注意区分和掌握．12.【答案】B【解析】答案B解析：考查代词．第一个空格后面有定语从句，特指，所以是the one；第二个空格指上文提及到的事物，同名同物，所以用it．故选：B．…爸爸，你看见我的圣诞节卡片了吗？…昨天晚上你画的那一个吗？恐怕我没有看见．it和that二者均可用作代词，指代前面提到的名词．一般说来，it指代同名同物；that 则指代同名异物．13.【答案】B【解析】答案：D．考查虚拟语气．句意：谢谢你提醒我时间，否则我昨天的航班就要迟到了．-别客气题干表达的是对过去事实的相反假设，要用虚拟；对过去的虚拟，主语中要用情态动词加完成时态来构成；句中or否则，相当于条件句if you hadn't reminded me of the time．故选：B．谢谢你提醒我时间，否则我昨天的航班就要迟到了．别客气．虚拟语气是高考经常考查的内容，也是英语学习中的一个难点．虚拟语气用于表示说话人的假想、建议或主观愿望，所表示的假设并不是事实，而是不可能或是不大可能发生或实现的，除了掌握if条件句引导的虚拟语气之外，还要掌握一些与虚拟语气有关的固定句型结构，首先，判断是否需要使用虚拟．其次，结合虚拟语气句式，判断需使用何种时态及句式是解题的关键．14.【答案】D【解析】答案：D 考查强调句．英语强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其他部分．其中，it was…that是强调句型．去掉it was…that 后，句子还是完整的．she wondered when we couldcomplete the experiment．故选：D．--她想知道什么，汤姆？--她想知道我们什么时候能完成那个实验．构成强调句的it本身没有词义；强调句中的连接词一般只用that，who，即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此，that，who不可省略；强调句中的时态只用两种，一般现在时和一般过去时．原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时，用Itwas …，其余的时态用It is …．15.【答案】D【解析】略16.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】B 【小题4】A 【小题5】D【解析】1．B细节理解题．根据文中Entries will not be acknowledged or returned．可知参赛作品不会被退还，故选B．2．C细节理解题．根据文章末段For entries of more than one child in a family，the
