2018辽宁高考英语模拟试题(含答案)

2018辽宁高考英语模拟试题（含答案）ALearners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never le t your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.1. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ______________.A. read fastB. improve their listening abilityC. write better English and read fasterD. speak correctly2. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should________.A. read the Chinese language newspaper step by stepB. read again and again the Chinese language newspaperC. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaperD. go through the Chinese language newspaper first3. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you _______.A. should begin with the last bookB. should stick to it.C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionableD. shouldn’t do anything else4. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for______________.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a radio stationD. a text-bookBAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attractinsects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.5. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. women being luckier than menB. color and its surprising effectsC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness6. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. All of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.C. All of them can’t see everything in shades of green.D. None of them can see deep red.7. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.A. red lightB. blue lightC. green lightD. yellow light C What’s On?Electric Underground7.30pm－1.00am Free at the Cyclops TheatreDo you know who’s playing in your area?

But sometimes it is important to wear the right things.Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.But in Britain, as well as the US, men in office usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women tidy dresses.In any ways, Americans are less formal than Britain people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and follow suit. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from othe rs.12. People in Britain and the US wear informal clothes when they___A. are in officesB. go out to enjoy themselvesC. are in big restaurantsD. go out to work13. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Women are not allowed to wear trousers in officeB. Lawyers always wear formal clothes even though they are at home.C. American people are more formal in dressing than British peopleD.

Men wear ties when __ in the US.A. they meet their wivesB. they meet good friendsC. they eat something expensiveD. they have dinners in good restaurants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。

My doorbell rings． On the step, I find the elderly Chinese lady, small andslight, holding the hand of a little boy． In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag． I know this lady． It is not her first visit． She is the boy's grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October．Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English． But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy． Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients．I know what is inside the bag﹣a thermos with hot soup and a stainless﹣steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp （虾）, sometimes with a kind of pancake． This has become an almost﹣daily practice．Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello． Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food． She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty． I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house． Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother's cooking and salt intake． Instantly, tears filled my eyes．"Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time, " I insisted． "I can hardly do dishes in return．""Oh, no, Lucy．" Nicole said． "Mum doesn't like western, food． Don't worry aboutit; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it．"The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me．I am now working on some more Chinese words ﹣ it's the least I can do after such display of kindness．"Thank you" is, of course, the first one． Somehow, it seems inadequate．（1）Why does the elderly Chinese lady visit Lucy regularly？________A She learns to speak English from Lucy．B She teaches Lucy to cook Chinese food．C She cares about Lucy's state of health．D She wants to make friends with Lucy．（2）What's the purpose of Nicole's mum taking an iPad to Lucy's home？________A To show Lucy a film．B To communicate with Lucy．C To ask Lucy how to use it．D To teach Lucy how to cook．（3）What does Lucy mainly want to express in this passage？________A Her thanks to the Chinese family．B Her preference for the Chinese food．C Her love of the advanced technology．D Her affection for the Chinese language．3. Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray﹣headed flying foxes． These super bats have invaded one of Australia's most famous public spaces． Officials have saidthe animals are destroying trees and have to move on．These unwanted guests at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings． Officials have estimated there are about 11, 000 of them living in the picturesque harbor﹣side park． After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought． Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants．Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin． The gardens, director Dr． Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will ________ the flying foxes and force them to move on． "The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we've used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past． You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we'll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day． What we've found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else, " said Tim．The gray﹣headed flying fox is Australia's largest bat． It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers． Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they're optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted． If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else's problem．（1）According to the passage， Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes？________ A Because the garden are important public places． B Because they are polluting the city． C Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them． D Because they're threatening the survival of trees and other plants．（2）In order to get rid of the flying foxes， what are people doing？________A They are shooting them．B They are using rubbish containers．C They are shaking the trees hard．D They are cutting some trees down．（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined "agitate" in Paragraph 3？________ A excite． B kill． C disturb． D discourage．（4）What does the writer imply from the last paragraph？________A The bats will still stay in the gardens．B Some area will have to deal with the bats．C The grey﹣headed flying fox often eat trees．D The damage caused by the bats is serious．4. I am convinced that reading the news is worse than not reading anything at all． There is no proof that it makes us wiser, better decision makers, better informed; nothing if anything, entirely the opposite． If you are anything like me, you've already stopped consuming news．I write about this topic because I got discouraged with that guy who thinks he is very cultured just because he reads the newspaper and with that girl who is very surprised to hear I don't know about the leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence． But mostly, because I've benefited from ________． Since I freed myself from the news I feel more in control of my attention, I have better reading habits, and I'm more optimistic． So I decided to do someresearch about it and was astonished to find more than enough reasons to back up my feeling．Unlike the limited attention we have to spend on long, deep, intelligent, and quiet content （which is actually important and requires thinking）, our brains are excited to pay attention to the flashy, loud, and dramatic． This is the reason why we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes． We see news all the time on Facebook andTwitter, each post screaming to get our attention． Information is no longer rare． But attention is． Why give it away so easily?It is worrying that we are spending SO much time skimming through headlines． With so much information, our brain has to form shortcuts to deal with the overload and the distractions, because on top of that, we consume news while multitasking． We listen to the news while driving． We read the newspaper while having breakfast． News breaks our concentration and thins comprehension and the more we consume it, more we reinforce （强化） this habit．Above all, we do not recognize the effect that pessimistic content can have on the individual． When you're exposed to too much negative information it's easy to see why people say things like "it's a messed up world out there．" Why make an effort when everything seems out of your control? You might be thinking that news keeps US informed about the world． But has any piece of news changed your life in a way that if you hadn't read it, your personal or professional life would have been different? Make a conscious choice about what you consume．（1）What does the author think of reading news？________A Beneficial．B Harmful．C Inspiring．D Dishonest．（2）The underlined "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that the author________．A has stopped reading news．B had no idea about Jennifer's photos．C got discouraged with the guy．D knows little about the present world．（3）The third paragraph shows that________．A news flashes are significant and exciting．B people like to focus on long， deep materials．C news flashes easily attract people's attention．D lacking information is people's main concern．（4）The author may agree that________．A people should not read blindly．B people needn't try hard in the messyworld． C news keeps us informed about the world． D news is SO important as to change people's life．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.How to Choose Your College MajorWhen you were in high school， everyone wanted to know where you were going to go to college．（1）_______ If you don't know how to choose your major， try asking yourself these four questions．（2）_______Knowing what really attracts you is extremely important when picking a major． Pick something that speaks out great ambitions and that will get you excited， regardless of the context in which it's presented．What am I good at？（3）_______Do other students always come to you for help with their biology homework？Major in something that you are particularly skilled in． It can possibly lead to further study．What do I want to do？Have you always wanted to be a doctor？ A teacher？ A lawyer？ Don't limit yourself to only doing what is traditional for those fields． If you want to be a doctor but have a love of Spanish literature， make sure you take your pre﹣med （医学预科的） requirements and look into majoring in Spanish．（4）_______ What life factors （因素） do I need to consider？Additional factors may influence your college choices： family， finance， cultural expectations． While exploring your own path is highly important， it's also important to keep in mind that these forces will have an influence on your post﹣college life in one way or another．（5）_______Try to make the situation more manageable．A． What do I love？B． What skills do I want to learn？C． Do you always earn praise for your art work？D． Spend your freshman year researching subjects that interest you．E． Your major and your preparation for a profession don't have to be the same．F． Now that you're there， everyone wants to know what you're going to major in．Find a major that can provide balance between your dreams and others， expectations．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

And you say you find Chinese difficult to learn． Actually， I quite understand you．,Different from your language，most Chinese characters are from images． For English， usually， you'll know how to pronounce a word when you see it． But it is impossible in Chinese． In addition， Chinese grammar is totally different from English grammar， which definitely brings you more trouble．,However， any learning takes time． Don't worry． I suggest you start with Pinyin， which will help you know how to read Chinese characters． Besides， listening to Chinese songs or watching Chinese movies can also help． The more you are exposed to the language， the more familiar you will get with it．,I wish you every success in learning the language! If you have any further questions， feel free to ask． Good luck!,Yours，,Li Hua。

ATo achieve further education, international students must take a standardized test of English. Three popular tests are TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS.Here are several introductions for a student applying to a school to learn which test the program requires.The TOEIC tests workplace communicationThe TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.The TOEFL tests English used in the classroomThere are several versions of the TOEFL.Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testingprogram. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is notaccepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior Test is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary Test is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skillsThe IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary Test.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three popular testsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Ear th’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five ti mes more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger.While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Earth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunity for life to a rise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this planet.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers. To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.DJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, atwhich heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so fa miliar story. However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audience because t hey long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope l it even though being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watch ing the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12. According to the director’s opinion, the film is so popular among Chinese audience because_______.A. Chinese audience long for and cherish his own superheroB. the film is based on the household legend of the Monkey KingC. the Chinese need a hero to look up to, to give them hope and courageD. the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood13. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the film is still a Chinese style heroic legendB. the film is well-receivedC. the film tells us the fact that what makes a true hero is to help people when one has the powerD. the film only aroused enthusiasm among Chinese audience14.

Some may turn up their noses at eating meat that was once more common in pet food than pies． Others may raise an eyebrow or even an objection to being served one half of their country’s coat of arms．Kangaroo may not be to everyone’s taste, but if some of the country’s leading scientists have their way, it could soon be leapfrogging beef as Australia’s favourite meat．People have been eating kangaroo for some 40, 000 years, and in the last 10 years consumption has doubled． It is very healthy meat: free﹣range, free of chemicals, andfed by a natural diet． It is also exceptionally low in fat; a kangaroo meat has less than two percent fat whereas a typical beef steak has between ten and twenty percent． It may not sizzle on a barbeque like a beef T﹣bone does, but it is rich in iron, full of protein, and highin Conjugated Linoleic Acids （CLAs） that can reduce heart disease and obesity． Research conducted by Clare Engelke at the University of Western Australia showed that kangaroo can have up to five times more CLAs than other meat．Kangaroo farmers already harvest three million kangaroos each year and Dr． Kelvin George, a leading wildlife consultant, is keen to see this figure increase．“Kangaroos are soft﹣footed animals that damage plants far less than cloven﹣hoofed cattle, ” he says．“They do not hard en the all﹣important layer of the soil．”Dr． George is not the only expert to identify the environmental benefits of farming kangaroos．A report by economist Professor Ross Garnaut argues that Australia’s farmanimal industry is a greater contributor to climate change than the coal industry． Methane emitted by sheep and cows accounts for about 11percent of Australia’s greenhouse gases． A switch from cattle to kangaroo could change this: kangaroos produce very little amounts of the gas．Many cattle farmers, however, are unimpressed by Garnaut’s report． A quick scan of farming websites reveals counter﹣arguments ranging from a lack of consumer interest in kangaroo meat to the inaccuracy of the methane emission figures． Charlie McElhone from the Natio nal Farmers’ Federation argues that a switch from moo to roo could seriously damage Australia’s meat export industry．Ultimately it will be left to consumers to determine whether kangaroo steaks are on or off the menu． If consumer demand fails to match the supply, this could cost farmers millions of dollars each year． It could be argued, however, that the cost of ignoring kangaroo meat may be far greater．（1）In this text， the writer presents the kangaroo as________．A.a symbol of freedom．B.a marketable product．C.an endangered species．D.an environmental problem．（2）Why is the coal industry mentioned in this text？________A.To give an example of an industry in decline．B.To show the energy needs of large industries．C.To provide a comparison with the farm animal industry．D.To present an alternative viewpoint to that of Garnaut．（3）What is the cattle﹣farming community’s response to Garnaut’s report？________A.Cattle farmers are debating the report’s findings．B.Cattle farmers have shown no interest in the report．C.Cattle farmers are eager to engage Garmaut in discussion．D.Cattle farmers are willing to follow Garmaut’s suggestions．（4）Who will decide the production of kangaroo meat？________A.Consumers．B.Kangaroo farmers．C.Environmental experts．D.University researchers．【答案】BCAA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，文章主要介绍了有些人可能会对吃肉嗤之以鼻，这种肉在宠物食品中曾经比馅饼更为常见．另一些人可能会对自己国家一半的军大衣表示不满甚至反对．袋鼠肉可能不是每个人都喜欢，但如果这个国家的一些顶尖科学家有他们的方法，它可能很快就会超越牛肉成为澳大利亚最受欢迎的肉类．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据“People have been eating kangaroo for some 40，000 years，and in the last 10 years consumption has doubled．．”可知在这篇文章中，作者介绍了袋鼠作为可出售的产品．故选B．（2）C．细节理解题．根据“A report by economist Professor Ross Garnaut argues that Australia’s farm animal industry is a greater contributor to cli mate change than the coal industry．”可知本文中提到了煤炭行业是为了提供与农场动物产业的比较．故选C．（3）A．推理判断题．根据“Many cattle farmers， however， are unimpressed by Garnaut’s report． A quick scan of farming websites reveals counter﹣arguments ranging from a lack of consumer interest in kangaroo meat to the inaccuracy of the methane emission figures．”可知养牛的农民们正在讨论该报告的发现．故选A．（4）A．推理判断题．根据“Ultimately it will be left to consumers to determine whether kangaroo steaks are on or off the menu”可知消费者将决定袋鼠肉的生产．故选A．4.

You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal musicteachers, career counselors, psychiatrists （精神病医师） and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life．But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything． She or he is called a "________"． People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help．The idea that one person's success story can change other people's lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s． Dale Carnegie's famous self﹣improvement program "How to Win Friends and Influence People" came along soon thereafter．But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers orwriters． They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy （心理疗法） to help others make critical life decisions．They often give their approach a slogan, such as "energy coaching" or "fearless living" or "working yourself happy"．Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a "road map"． He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one's career and life outside work．Lakhani's Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful ﹣ including battered women and struggling single mothers．But others in the so﹣called "helping professions" are not thrilled about the life﹣coaching movement． They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick （华而不实的） promoters who mess with people's lives can do more harm than good．（1）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？________A Working Yourself HappyB Life Coaches Help with Tough DecisionsC How to Cope with Daily Life with Life CoachesD The Life﹣Coaching Movement．（2）The underlined phrase "________" in Paragraph 2 means "________"．A the career counselor who teaches skillsB the psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily lifeC the fitness coach who teaches us lessonsD the specialist who helps us make important life decisions．（3）The last paragraph is mainly about________．A the introductions of life coachB the disagreements of life coachC the effects oflife coach D the experiences of life coach．（4）What is the author's attitude towards life coaches？________A Cautious．B Approving．C Casual．D Disapproving．2.

Thirteen can be a challenging age． Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town．When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold． I was heartbroken and terribly lonely． I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all thetime． Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy．Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world． But I didn't care． I loved him beyond all reasons．I joined a riding club． When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly "shown the gate"． I knew nothing could turnCowboy into a beauty． My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events． I chose the jumping race．For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted．All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came． One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events． She always won the blue ribbons． I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place．My turn finally came． At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one． Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line．No cheers filled the air． The end of our run was met with surprised silence． Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds．I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day． At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it． I can be the owner of my fate．（1）Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness？________A Because she loved horses more than anything else．B Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse．C Because Cowboy had a lot in common with herpony． D Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion．．（2）The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because________．A they didn't expect Cowboy would win the eventB they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the eventC they didn't like cowboy， for it was too uglyD they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy．（3）After the competition， the author came to realize that________．A she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problemsB it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy betterC she needed to work harder to win more blueribbons D she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough．（4）It can be inferred from the story that________．A all of their hard training was totally in vainB a blue ribbon must be the second highest prizeC Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearanceD both Becky and the author won in the jumping event．4.

I love camping． It is my favourite way to spent the summer vacation． Last year， my families and I went camping in the countryside． It was one of the excited experiences I had never had． We slept in a tent and took a long walk every day． We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully． For a whole week， I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air． At night， I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree， and I felt so peaceful． It doesn't cost many to camp． What I believe it's the best way to get close∧nature and enjoy its beauty．解析：1．spent→ spend．考查动词形式．名词way后面接动词不定式作定语，此处to为不定式的标志词，后面应接动词的原形．故将spent改为spend．2．excited→ exciting．考查形容词．excited兴奋的，表达人对事物的感受；此处修饰名词experiences，表示事物本身所具有的性质或特征，应用形容词exciting（令人兴奋的）．故将excited改为exciting．3．never→ ever．考查副词．never从不，是否定副词；此处表示"这是我曾经有过的一次激动人心的经历之一"，应用副词ever（曾经）．故将never改为ever．4．cook→ cooked．考查时态．根据时间状语Last year及前后句时态可知，此处应为一般过去时，故将cook改为cooked．5．wonderfully→ wonderful．考查形容词．tasted为系动词，含义是"有…味道"，后面接形容词作表语，故将wonderfully改为wonderful．6．or→ and．考查连词．"看到了优美的山景"与"呼吸着新鲜的空气"是并列关系应用and 连接．故将or改为and．7．tree→ trees．考查名词的数．根据语境可知，这里tree应用复数名词，故将tree改为trees．8．many→ much．考查不定代词．many代指可数名词的复数，动词cost主要指花费金钱，而金钱是不可数名词，应用much代指．故将many改为much．9．去掉What．考查句子结构．本句主语是I，谓语动词believe，后面是一个省略了连接词that的宾语从句，What在这里是多余的．故去掉What．10．close后加to．考查介词．get close to靠近、走进，nature作介词to的宾语．故在close后加to．9. Should square dancing be forbidden？In recent years， square dancing has been becoming increasingly popular in cities． Many people have a habit of dancing to music with others． However， the loud noise disturbs the people who live around the square．【高分句型一】Should square dancing be forbidden？（广场舞的现状）I don't think so． Here are the reasons． First of all， dancing is a good way to take exercise，which can help people to build themselves up． It also provides a chance for people to communicate with each other． Besides， the square is a good place for people to work out．（表明自己的观点）At the same time， the people living near the square have the right to live in peace．【高分句型二】 So I suggest the time when people dance on the square should be limited．（给出理由）。

Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes. Fishing Fishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches， canals and coasts， which means there are plenty of great places to fish. Surfing Another popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots， especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads， Stradbroke Island， and Burleigh Heads， with the Gold Coast being the best known. Boating What else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend？ They might go for a ride on their boat！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing， or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly. Barbecues Australians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close， the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat， from shrimps （?r） to kangaroos. 21.

The boys are playing in their rooms， so it’s the perfect time to do some baking， just enjoying the peaceful moment as I knead（揉）bread dough（生面团）.
