AReading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability. There are four parts in the book:Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to wad information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on timetables and a test on text messages.Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal ( 正式的) English in biography ( 传记). There is a job application as a model to help with your writing, as welt as testing your reading.Part 3 is Places: In this part, too many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint.Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do alt the tests with a formal or informal text. I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.1. We can find the introduction to a product in ______,A. Part 1B. Part 2C. Part 3D.Part 42. Which of the following is most probably written in informal English?A. A letter of complaint.B. A computer handbook.C. A letter to a friend.D. A story of a president.3. The passage is most probably written for _____.A. test designersB. studentsC. test-takersD. teachersBSeveral times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally,and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.4. The main idea of the passage is about ____.A. the Queen’s favorite foodB. the Queen’s tours abroadC. how the Queen keeps her diet during her toursD. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader5. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purposeof doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food6. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.A. she has to meet with so many important leadersB. she has to eat much oily foodC. she has so many reporters to travel with herD. hosts always present wonderful state banquets7. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at s tate dinners?A. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D. Eating much without being noticed.CDisposing(处理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.As more and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste-disposal problem becomes Increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to gettogether to select a faraway spot as a dump site.Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者)would transport household rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.Periodically(定期的)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried.The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.The first problem is space dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods.Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness(意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste,however,continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.Even the most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50 p ercent of a city’s reusable waste.8．The most suitable title for this passage would be _______.A.Places for Disposing WasteB.Waste Pollution DangersC.Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD.Waste Disposal Problem9．What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.C.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.D.Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.10．The main purpose of writing this article is to _______.A.draw people’s attention to waste mana gementB.warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC.call on people to take part in recycling programsD.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste第二节七选五（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。

ATaj Mahal, Agra, IndiaAs many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight. Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of1,991 meters.Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams.

2019届高三英语上学期二模考试试题阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题 2分，满分30分）ASLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PACKSSAME GREAT DEVONDALE QUALITYFrom the green pastures (牧场) of Australia comes Devondale, Australia's largest commun ity of farming families.The people at Devondale blend dairy go odness (乳制品)and clever ideas to bring you great tasting innovative prod ucts，which have been shipped to America, Canada and exported t o Austria.Like our lightest one—instant skim(脱脂的)milk powder that makes 10 litres of delicious skim milk. So you never run out of milk again.DIRECTIONS FOR USE：TO MIX 1 CUP(250ML)•Add 1/4 cup (25g)of instant Devondale Skim Milk Powder to1/2 cup of hot or cold water.•Add more water to make up 1 cup.•For best result always add powder to water.•For richer taste and extra nutrition, use additional powder to suit your personal taste or preference.•To improve the natural taste of this product, we recommend storing the liquid milk in the refrigerator overnight prior to cons umption.NOTICE：•Store powder in a cool, dry place.•Keep refrigerated at or below 4 degrees centigrade no more t han 3 days.•Once opened, store in an airtight container.21．In which country is Devondale — a worldfamous dairy pr oduct brand made?A．Australia. B．Austria.C．Canada. D．America.22．What should a user do if he/she wants the milk to taste a natural taste?A．Add some sugar to the milk.B．Remove the cream from the milk.C．Put it in the fridge before using it.D．Increase its amount in the liquid milk.23．Where are you suggested putting the powder once c onsumed?A．In a plastic bowl. B．In a warm room.C．In a watertight （不漏水的）jar. D．In a closed container.BSomeone sent me an email urging me to acquire a lot more re sources, suggesting that I could do so much more good if I ha d an 8 or 9 figure net income instead of 6 like I’ve been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much cl arity (清晰的思维) as to what I’d do with 1 million or 10 million more money fl owing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, ful fillment（履行）, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to inte lligently imagine how more financial resources could provide e xtra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that aren’t particularly meaningful to me.Lately I’ve been considering what it would be like to deliberate ly reduce my income for a while and see if I could live on muc h less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net person al income at $10,000 per year, for instance? That is n’t such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low income like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I c ould still do what I love regardless of income.I’ve never worked in a business environment — the only job I’ve ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store w hile I was in college. So I’ve never seen how larger operations （公司）allocate（分配） resources. That’s probably why I haven’t pushed myself t o acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.I’m not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more re sources could become a big distraction. I’m already doing wh at I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I s hould treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I don’t really see how more resources would meaningfu lly improve that.24. Why did the man email the author?A. To ask the author to fuel his path.B. To lend some money to the author.C. To share his opinion about wealth.D. To urge the author to earn more money.25. Which of the following can describe the author’s personalit y?A. Optimistic and devoted.B. Independent and cooperative.C. Unfortunate but positive.D. Wealthy but hardhearted.26. What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 3 p robably mean?A. LimitedB. SpentC. IncreasedD. Distributed27. The following are true EXCEPT ________.A. the author might be a professional writerB. the author is good at designing video gamesC. the author is interested in exploring his personal growthD. the author might be a person who likes sharing his knowle dgeCSocial media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. Your friends’ lives may loo k more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagra m, but new research shows it is because they are faking (伪造) it.A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged thei r peers based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapehat or Facebook pages.The British survey, by smart phone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and plac es purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and fa mily.Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurp rising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world of instant communication.” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authe ntic, peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know w hat our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, a s soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram, 76 percent of those asked also sai d seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they s ee.28. How do some people make their lives appear more excitin g?A. By buying pictures.B. By posting i mages.C. By making up stories.D. By risking their lives.29. What does the underlined word “jealousy” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Adventure.B. Conflict.C. Envy.D. Misunderstandi ng.30. What can we learn from Hemmings?A. The trend reflects the development of social media.B. Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines.C. Magazines and newspapers are less important.D. The trend is beyond people’s expectation.31. Which of the following best describes social media like Ins tagram?A. Positive.B. Creative.C. Persuasiv e.D. Honest.DReading is the ability to process text, understand its meaning and to integrate it with what the reader already knows. Of all t he reading skills speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from o ur electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we rea d word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people t o unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chair s and read in silence for an hour. Unlike tradition book club, th e point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and re ad in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to The Wall Str eet Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphone s.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regul ar reading habit sharpens themind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deep ens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last ye ar in Science showed that reading novels helps people under stand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens h ave changed our reading patterns from the top-to-right, left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctu ated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading p lain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he sa ys, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of i nteresting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to si t back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight patt ern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. “Aim for 30 mi nutes a day,” advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squee ze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free mome nts, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “R each for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace le ss heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lo se your place.”The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows ____________.the new trend of slow readingB. the decline of electronic devic esC. the importance of exchanging ideasD. the increasing n umber of club readers33. According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly b ecause of_____________.A. a non-stop reading patternB. the straight, left-to-right screenC. a wide range of interesting newsD. the lack of reflection34. According to the passage, slow reading___________.A. contributes to understanding among peopleB. promotes the current technology advancesC. provides people with a quiet environmentD. cures the memory loss of elderly people35. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Benefit of Reading ClubsB. Return of Slow ReadingC. Reading of the Internet AgeD. Influence of Speed Reading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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

remember irregular verbs.Y ou may also want to make associations or links between___29___you are trying to remember and things you already know.For example,if you need to catch a plane at2:00p.m.,you

people—especially those bornto families who have lived in the U.S.for many generations—apparently reached their___35___in the early1960s.And they aren't likely to get any taller."In the general

requires focused attention and is conducted with thespecific goal of improving___42___.The greatest___43___of deliberate practice is to remain focused.In the beginning,showing up is the most important thing.But after a while we begin to carelessly___44___small errors and miss daily opportunities for improvement.This is because the natural tendency of the human brain is to___45___repeated behaviors into automatic habits.___46___,when you first learned to tie your shoes you had to think carefully about each step ofthe process.Today,after many repetitions,your brain can perform this sequence___47___.The more we repeat atask the more mindless it becomes.Mindless activity is the___48___of deliberate practice.The danger of practicing the same thing again and again is that progress becomes___49___.Too often,we think we are getting better simply because we are gaining experience.In___50___,we are merely reinforcing（加强）our current habits—not improving them.Claiming that improvement requires attention and effort sounds logical enough.But what does deliberatepractice actually look like in the real world?The first effective feedback system is___51___.This holds true for the number of pages we read,the numberof pushups we do,the number of sales calls we make,and any other task that is important to us.It is only through measurement that we have any___52___of whether we are getting better or worse.The second effective feedback system is coaching.One consistent finding across disciplines is that coaches are often essential for___53___deliberate practice.In many cases,it is nearly impossible to both perform a task andmeasure your progress at the same time.Good coaches can track your progress,find small ways to improve,andhold you___54___to delivering your best effort each day.Deliberate practice is not a comfortable activity.It requires sustained effort and concentration,but if you can manage to maintain your focus and___55___,then the promise of deliberate practice is quite tempting:to get themost out of what you’ve got.41.A.Since B.Whether C.While D.As42.A.awareness B.performance C.enjoyment D.intelligence43.A.equivalent B.ambition

given in the passage you have just read.（A）A traffic jam when you’re already late.A free ride when you’ve already paid.The fact that the King James Bible is the most shoplifted book in the United States.One of these three things is an example of irony—the reversal of what is expected or intended.The other twoare not.The difference between them may be one of the most curious linguistic（语言学的）misunderstandingsyou’re likely to encounter.“Ironic”does not,technically,mean“unfortunate,”“interesting,”or“coincidental,”despitethese terms often being used interchangeably.And that frequent misuse has not escaped linguists（语言学家）；according to the editors at ,“We estimate that ironic might be the most abused word in the Englishlanguage.”So what does irony really mean and where does the confusion come from?Part of the ambiguity probably originates from the fact that there are no fewer than three definitions of irony depending on which dictionary youuse.There’s Socratic irony（an ancient dialogue move），and dramatic irony（an ancient theatrical move），but thedefinition of irony we care about is situational irony.Situational irony occurs when,as the Oxford EnglishDictionary defines it,“a state of affairs or an event…seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is oftenslightly amusing as a result.”The trick,is the deliberately contrary part—for a situation to be ironic,it must be the opposite of what is expected, not merely an amusing coincidence.A traffic jam when you’re already late may be an undesirable coincidence,butit is not the opposite outcome one would expect when leaving for work late.Instead,College Humor writer PatrickCassels corrects the situation like this:“A traffic jam when you’re already late to receive an award from the MuncipalPlanning Board for reducing the city’s automobile congestion by80percent.”Now that’s irony.56.The common misunderstanding of the word“ironic”is that_____.A.it describes something unlucky,amusing or coincidentalB.it shows something that is opposite to what is expected or intendedC.it means unfortunate,interesting and coincidental at the same timeD.it is not the most abused word in the English language57.The underlined word“ambiguity”means______.A.distinctionB.understandingC.uncertaintyD.issue58.Which following situation can be described as“ironic”according to the above passage?A.John was supposed to enjoy a free ride but actually he had paid for it before.B.Alexander Bell invented the telephone,but refused to keep one in his study for fear of distraction.C.Y ou had planned a perfect wedding and invited all the important people,when it started to rain.D.McDonalds’employee warned against eating Kentucky Fried Chicken burgers and fries.59.What will be the best title for the passage?A.An Unexpected Traffic JamB.The Most Misused Word in EnglishC.Why Is the Word Irony MisusedD.Curious Linguists Settled Another Misunderstanding（B）60.In Fabric&Styles,which item leaves you with the least personal choice?A.FabricB.Fly StyleC.Pocket StyleD.Thread Color61.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in yourorder.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed,nothing can be done to fix the situation.C.Before payment,you’d better check your order in detail and can still make modifications if necessary.D.Y ou will have to wash your jeans upon receipt,because they don’t fit perfectly until they shrink a little afterwashing.62.If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October12,you will receive your jeans no laterthan______.A.Oct.21B.Oct.26C.Nov.16D.Nov.20（C）Social norms of right and wrong are vital to a well-functioning society.However,such moral standards are changeable and the psychological mechanisms（机制）driving this change are unknown.Now,researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that our view of selfish and unselfish behaviors changes depending on how common they are.The results are based on a combination of behavioral experiments,mathematical models and computer simulations.In the experiments,the participants first observed other people’s behavior in a so-called“public goodsgame”，in which players receive a sum of money and then choose either to invest it to varying degrees so that itbenefits everyone in the group,or to keep it for themselves.After every round,the participants were asked to judgethe different choices as morally right or wrong,and whether the choices ought to be punished with a reduction inhow much the players gained.Uselfish behavior was considered more morally right than selfish,but both behaviors were judged to be more Moral and less deserving of punishment if the majority exhibited them than if they were uncommon.The Commonness of the selfish behavior also affected the participants’willingness to themselves pay to punish selfishness.“Tolerance of selfish behavior increased when the majority of the players kept the money for themselves,which surprised me,”says principal investigator Andreas Olsson,senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet’s Department ofClinical Neuroscience.“The fact that a behavior is common doesn’t automatically mean that it’s right—this idea isbased on faulty logical that confuses facts with moral values.”The study shows our view of what is morally right and wrong has strong similarities with social conformity,in that we tend to adapt ourselves to the people around us and how they behave.This means that changes in our social environment can quickly alter our moral compass.“This is interesting from several angles,and could explain why normal attitudes change over time,such asthose towards public goods or legality,”says Bjorn Lindstrom,postdoc at University of Zurich and Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.63.According to Andreas Olsson’s analysis,if people accept selfish behavior,they actually_____.A.get facts and moral values mixed upB.misunderstand social mechanismsC.follow the logic of their ownD.consider it correct and reasonable64.It can be concluded that the participants in the experiments are punished if_____.A.they can’t play“public goods game”B.invest the money to benefit group membersC.they behave differently from the majorityD.they keep the money for themselves65.According to the passage,what is morally right or wrong is shaped by the following Expert___.A.the way people around us behaveB.changes in our social environmentC.personal standards of values and attitudesD.how widespread a particular behavior is66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The psychological mechanisms behind attitude changeB.Behavior is considered more moral the more common it isC.Our view of selfish and unselfish behaviorsD.Moral standards of selfish and unselfish behaviorsSection CDirections：Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank.Thereare two extra statements,which you do not need.FIVE W A YS TO KILL YOUR DREAMSI dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams.When we think about the dreams we have,and the footprint we want to leave in the universe,it is striking to see how big of an overlap thereis between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.So I’m here to talk to you today about five wayshow not to follow your dreams.One:___67___.Y ou know the story,right?The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.Y ou knowthe story may seem real,but I bet it’s incomplete.If you go investigate further,the guy has done30apps before andhe has done a master’s on the topic,a Ph.D.He has been working on the topic for20years.This is really interesting.I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.I come from a humble family,and twoweeks before the deadline to apply to MIT,I started the application process.And,voila!I got in.People may thinkit’s an overnight success,but that only worked because for the17years prior to that,I took life and education seriously.You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.Two:Believe someone else has the answers for you.Constantly,people want to help out,right?All sorts of people:your family,your friends,your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take:“And let me tell you,go through this pipe.”But wheneveryou go inside,there are other ways you have to pick as well.And you need to make those decisions yourself.___68___.And you need to keep picking those decisions,right?The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bumpyour head,and it’s a part of process.Three:Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.So when your life is going great,you have put together a great team,and you have growing revenue,and everything is set—time to settle.When I launched my first book,I worked really,really hard to distribute iteverywhere in Brazil.With that over three million people downloaded it,over50,000people bought physical copies.When I wrote a sequel,some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little,sales would be okay.But okay is neverokay.When you’re growing towards a peak,you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.Maybe if I did little,a couple hundred thousand people would read it,and that’s great already.But if I work harderthan ever,I can bring this number up to millions.That’s why I decided,with my new book,to go to every singlestate of Brazil.And I can already see a higher peak.There’s no time to settle down.Four:Blame others for the fault.I constantly see people saying,“Y es,I had this great idea,but no investor had the vision to invest.”“Oh,I created this great product,but the market is so bad,the sales didn’t go well.”or“I can’t find good talent,my team is sobelow expectations.”___69___.Yes,it.May be hard to find talent.Yes,the market may be bad.But if no oneinvested in your idea,if no one bought your product,for sure,there is something there that is your fault.Definitely.You need to get your dreams and make them happen.And no one achieved their goals alone.But if you didn’t makethem happen,it’s your fault and no one else’s.Be responsible for your dreams.Five:Only pay attention to the dreams themselvles.Once I saw an ad,and it was a lot of friends,they were going up a mountain,it was a very high mountain and it was a lot of work.You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.And they were going up,and theyfinally made it to the peak.Of course,they decided to celebrate,right?I’m going to celebrate,so,“Yes!We madeit,we’re at the top!”Two seconds later,one looks at the other and says,“Okay,let’s go down.”Life is never aboutthe goals themselves.Life is about the journey.Yes,you should enjoy the goals themselves,but people think thatyou have dreams,and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,it’s a magical place where happiness willbe all around.___70___.The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of yourjourney.That’s the best way.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage andhow it is e your own words as far as possible.It is university true that all parents in the world love their children.However,as parents'views of life vary,they show their love in different ways．The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered.They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe.Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question.With a firmbelief in their own philosophy of life,they have litter respect for others'opinions,least of all,their children's.Thesentence they say most frequently to their children is,“Y ou should do this.”Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time.Theyare soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish,and cheerfully run to buy anythingtheir children ask for.They are happy so long as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love meanssacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,The friends-type parents,as the term implies,treat their Children as friends.They are generous and wise.Like good friends,they discuss with their children the latest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentivelyto their children's expression of emotion,whether it is anger,fear,joy or sorrow.They have a close relationship withtheir children while sticking to their principled stand.They discuss problems with their children rather than provideready solution.They respect their children as their equals.They often say:“Let's put our heads together and seewhat we can do.”There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents,for a free,friendly,and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind.All parentsshould re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow uphappily and healthily.第二卷Ⅴ.Translation.Directions：Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

But the truth is that some of t hem have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience sho wed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howar d, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunder storms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he wo uld run whining into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walkin g along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. So on after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teet h and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little a ngry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked a way from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, the re came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and beg an whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the r oof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been str uck by the bolt of lightning!24. The author named his dog Howard mainly because of____ ___.A. his timid characteristicB. one of the author’s friends HowardC. his loud soundD. his strange behaviors25. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .A. Howard had a strange behaviorB. Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC.

It could produce blinding flash of lightning.CAsk people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmother s’ dining rooms – maybe with a few stories of “the greatest pu ddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sun day roast seems to havebeen left back in the old days. Accor ding to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popu lar. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toa st eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick san dwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to t he kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about he ating the oven(烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a sha me to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxe d morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to tu rn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and tur n the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”28. The best title for the passage is probably _____.A. Sunday—Best Time for Family B. Sunday Roast Dying OutC. It’s the Perfect Time for UsD. Let’s Sit Down Together29. Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?A. They have a busy lifestyle.B. They have no intere st in cooking.C. They don’t think it worthwhile.D. They are living in the mo dern society.30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph r efer to?A. A recent article.B. A traditional kitchen.C. The fine old tradition.D. Sunday morning activity.31. How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying o ut?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Sorry.D. Uncertain.DWhat’s small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldn’t be the fir st if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even s ay we should embrace our history of considering the two toget her in the same group. The way scientists study bees could h elp them study hummingbird behavior, too.Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when stud ying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals us e a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the wor k it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visite d flowers, and where flowers were located to others. It was “al most like an algorithm(算法)” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.As the field of animal cognition(认知) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuros cientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study b ee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed method s from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingb irds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeyb ees and bumblebees are social; hummingbirds typically aren’t .But however they perceive(感知) or process information, they both experience similar infor mation, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely o n more of a bee’s-eye view than a bird’s-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don’t use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower ju st an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it w as and it will hover over the flower’s original location. Dr. Pritc hard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in vie w matching — hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.32. What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?A. Memory.B. Movement rules.C. Reward calculating.D. Information processing.33. Which subject’s research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of Hummingbirds?A. Math.B. Biology.C. Ecology.D. Psychology.34. How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?A. By setting them free.B. By moving flowers.C. By matching view.D. By making maps.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Hummingbirds and BeesB. Hummingbirds in the LabC. New Trends in Studying BeesD.

AIt's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devicesBrandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids couldbe missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "41. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?A. Because more electronic devices are available to them.B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.42. It is known from the passage that ____.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five yearsC. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devicesD. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies43. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Watching TV while using the computer.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Playing video games on the Internet.D. Listening to music while relaxing.44. According to the passage, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that ____.A. kids should do homework while surfing the InternetB. kids should do homework in a place without disturbanceC. kids should spend more time on homeworkD. kids should have more homework than before参考答案41ACAB****************************************************【甘肃省武威六中2018届高三阶段性考试】B The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing．October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities havesometh ing called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect （前景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking（令人头痛的）. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life o n the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush intoanything that you’ll regret for the next three years.Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette（礼节）. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new p eople than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give yo u a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．45．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage？A．October is generally the busiest month for universities．B．It’s a good idea to have a doorstop.C．A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.D．The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week．46.

Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football.

Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigk is among the top computer technicians and programmers at Intelidata Technologies Corp. , a large software company with several offices across the United States. "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send E-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months" , says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can'see' into the heart of the computer."Mr. Gokyigit's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit.The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakows-ki, an office manager atInteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,' he says.Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention,' says Mrs. Nowa-kowski, his boss.Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver," says Mr. Braun.1. According to Mr. Braun, SuleymanA. can work wonders on computerB. is the best technician in the worldC. has done a hard job in three monthsD. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company.答案: A 指导：据全文可知，Suleyman在电脑方面有非凡的才能，应选A：其他各项均与原文有出人。

Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火) in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why E mma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hun gry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and wo men, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Ta nnen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the , has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request i n the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ry an what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. I f he had been hungry, he would have said something more dir ect, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where t alk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raise d differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves .Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used o utside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention , or to exchange information. This is why men communicate b y making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. T hese men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel clos e or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way t o build relationships.4. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.5. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderst anding?A. Different cultures.B. Different characteristics.C. Different ways of communicating.D. Different educational background.6. Compared with women, men _______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD. are better at building relationships7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCSo many of us hold on to little resentments(怨恨) that may have come from an argument, a misunderstandi ng, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for some one else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a frien dship or family relationship.A friend of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told m e that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. Sh e said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who s hould apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reachi ng out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, ho wever, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call an d offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “sma ll stuff” into r eally “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positi ons are more important than our happiness. They are not. If y ou want to be a more peaceful person you must understand t hat being right is almost never more important than allowing y ourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and rea ch out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “righ t,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward yo u. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they d on’t,that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowi ng that you have done your part to create a more loving world , and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.8. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably me ans “____________”.A. RecoverB. developC. acceptD. replace9. According to the passage, the author’s friend er spoke to h er son for three years because ____________.A. she had a bad health.B. she had disagreed about her son’s marriage.C. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-law.D. she had disliked her so n’s wife for many years.10. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happines s.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.11. The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. instruct the readers how to apologize.B. teach the readers how to gain inner peace.C. inform the readers the importance of being forgiving.D. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful eve nts.DPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choic es about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with tho se they care most about. I know this from personal experienc e.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spe nd most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t ne cessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my y oung daughter than I might have if she’d been born before ele ctronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun , see a great movie pe rhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear abou t it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your c onvenience, and address it to all the friends you think might b e interested. They can read your message when they have ti me, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with peopl e who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.12. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest techn ologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal co mputers and the Internet13. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him14. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because t he former helps one ________.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one’s communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later15. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)涂卡注意E=AB F=AC G=ADComing face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful，to say the least. 16 It even makes you question yourself．Yo ur natural reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss th e critique entirely．But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately h elp you grow as a person. Here’s how to do it．1．Be objective about the criticismBefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the ot her person’s opinion, take a step back and look at it objectivel y. Next time you get a bad review, do n’t immediately allow yo ur emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accur ate. 172．Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take．In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. 183．Be open to the idea of change19 And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most．4．Ask questionsIf you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard(跳板) to improvement, you will likely need more information. 20 Your emotions will be tiding high, and you may not be particul arly receptive to extra information．However, when you feel r eady, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person w ho criticized you．Even if you don’t agree with their advice, th ank them and promise to consider it．A．Most of us are pretty stubborn．B．There is no doubt that change is necessary．C．But i t’s best to avoid getting into an argument．D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere．E．It challenges the way you believe people see you F．Give yourself a chance to really take in the information an d evaluate it．G．The initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details．第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）There was once a group of young people searching everywhe re for happiness, but what theygot was only annoyance, grief and misery.So they ___21___ Socrates (苏格拉底) for advice on where happiness ___22___.

This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do someth ing fun , see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you m ay tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to al l the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time , and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can re ad what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in t ouch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.12.

Here’s how to do it．1．Be objective about the criticismBefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion, take a ste p back and look at it objectively. Next time you get a bad review, don’t immediately allow you r emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. 172．Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take．In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. 183．Be open to the idea of change19 And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most．4．Ask questionsIf you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard(跳板) to improvement, you will likely need more information. 20 Your emotions will be tiding hig h, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information．However, when you feel re ady, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you．Even if you d on’t agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it．A．Most of us are pretty stubborn．B．There is no doubt that change is necessary．C．But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument．D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere．E．It challenges the way you believe people see youF．Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it．G．The initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details．第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness, but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.So they ___21___ Socrates (苏格拉底) for advice on where happiness ___22___.
