Besides, I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that was too expensive.W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.M: Could I try it on first?W: Of course, sir. The dressing room is down there to your left.M: Yes, I see it. Could I also take a tie to try on? I’m not actually looking to buy one, but I do want to see how the suit looks on me if I wear a tie. W: No problem.

This suit is made for you!M: Thank you. I like it very much. It fits perfectly, and the style will never go out of fashion. The only thing is that I still think it is a bit too expensive.Couldn’t you lower the price by just a little?W: I’m not the owner of the shop, sir. Otherwise, I might be able to reduce the price.Text 10Good evening to you, and a good evening it is! In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes, if you were outside around 2:00 p.m., you were probably blown right off your feet. We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks —a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents. Fortunately, though, the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m.Now, the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze — just enough for a light sweater. It should be a clear night, great for all you astronomers and star gazers. Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow, and they will be staying for a while.Yes, for the next three days, you can expect clouds, the daytime temperature to drop to around 50, and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day. The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees, so you should expect some frost in the early mornings. Well, that’s all. Go out there and enjoy a lovely, warm, star-filled evening tonight. Tomorrow, take your raincoat and umbrella as you head out the door!参考答案听力：1—5 BCBAA 6—10 BCBCC 11—15 BABBA 16—20 BBABB阅读理解：21—25 DCADB 26—30 CBBCA 31—35 DDBAC 36—40 DGBEF 完形填空：41—45 BCABD 46—50 DABCD 51—55 CBAAD 56—60 ADBCC语法填空：61. fifth 62. got 63. an 64. smiling 65. what66. like 67. which 68. wonderfully 69. returning 70.languages短文改错:Dear Bob ，How are things going?

2015年高中三年级教学质量检测英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ARaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenev er I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home. Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice. “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alo ne along the highway and country roads, I also felt less than valued t hat my father didn’t seem concern ed about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop. I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (篱笆) the driveway that climb the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observ ation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew that each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face le ngthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes. Dad, it’s me I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph I mean?A. admitted readilyB. whisper carelessly.C. explained clearlyD. spoke unhappily.22. What made the author feel bothered?A. The tiredness after long hours in labsB. The fear of walking home by himselfC. The feeling of being less than valuedD. The loneliness of riding the bus home23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he felt concern ed about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he wanted to meet his son at the doorwayD. he thought his son was too young to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s SecretB. The Hedge Around MeC. Terrible Journey HomeD. Riding Bus AlongBI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years.The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation, and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would at have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because___A. they have to earn the right to attend itB. they are curious about animals kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior26. The author used wolves as an example to ___.A. provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB. explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals bring them trouble27. We can infer from the text that after being set free some prisoners___A. have turned over a brand new leafB. are required to receive the educationC. pay no attention to nature protectionD. prefer humane education to scienceCMelbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been related to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing you passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures onyour favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows 8. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面) introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.32. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. new symbolsB. strengthsC. side effectsD. messages33. According to the text, the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its___A. complex passwordsB. high speedC. unique experienceD. new interface34. From the passage we can learn that Windows 8___A.

About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.1. Self-awarenessWhen a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.”___37___.Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.2. Distance yourself___38___. Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand.3. Don’t try to change complainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. ___39___. If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think. “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project”.4. ___40___When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.A. Find solutionsB. Change responsibilityC. You have got a lot of companyD. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviorsE. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversationsF. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mindG.

I still thought that was too expensive.W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material.Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.M: Could I try it on first?W: Of course, sir. The dressing room is down there to your left.M: Yes, I see it. Could I also take a tie to try on?

In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes, if you were outside around 2:00 p.m., you were probably blown right off your feet. We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks — a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents. Fortunately, though, the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m.Now, the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze — just enough for a light sweater. It should be a clear night, great for all you astronomers and star gazers. Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow, and they will be staying for a while.Yes, for the next three days, you can expect clouds, the daytime temperature to drop to around 50, and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day. The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees, so you should expect some frost in the early mornings. Well, that’s all. Go out there and enjoy a lovely, warm, star-filled evening tonight. Tomorrow, take your raincoat and umbrella as you head out the door!参考答案听力：1—5 BCBAA 6—10 BCBCC 11—15 BABBA 16—20 BBABB 阅读理解：21—25 DCADB 26—30 CBBCA 31—35 DDBAC 36—40 DGBEF 完形填空：41—45 BCABD 46—50 DABCD 51—55 CBAAD 56—60 ADBCC 语法填空：61. fifth 62. got 63. an 64. smiling 65. what66. like 67. which 68. wonderfully 69. returning 70. languages短文改错:Dear Bob ，How are things going?

What can we know about Geilo from the text?A. It can be accessed directly by plane.B. It lies in the northern part of Norway.C. It is ten kilometers away from Aurland.D. It is 3.5 hours’ train ride away from Oslo.23. The text is mainly intended to ________.A. advertise a music festivalB. introduce a place of interestC. show respect to a music pioneerD. inspire people’s interest in musicBWe were driving along the Quaid Orsay toward the Avenue Bosquet at midnight in Paris. As we came to the Pont Alexander Ⅲ, the taxi slowed down, for the traffic light was red against us, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a driver like you, breaking the law and endangering your life that way,” I protested.He looked at me, astonished.“Ashamed of myself? Why, I’m proud of myself. I am a law-obeying citizen and have no desire to get killed either.” He cut me off. “What did I do? I went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?”“Certainly,” I replied. “It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.”“Half-right,” said the driver, “but incomplete. It is only an automatic signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the streets at this hour. Well, then! Should I stop like a dumb animal because a brainless machine turns red every 40 seconds? No, Monsieur.I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given to me by God. Ashamed of myself, you say?”Is this bad or good? Speaking honestly, I am no longer sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light. After more than a decade of life in Paris, however, I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken. I still think it is wrong to drive through a stop signal, except possibly very late at night, after having carefully checked to make sure there is no cross traffic. After all, I am a man, not a machine.24. According to the first paragraph, the author considered the driver ________.A. braveB. risk-takingC. excitingD. law-obeying25. When the taxi went through a red light again, the writer ________.A. got out of the taxi angrilyB. began to criticize the driverC. decided not to pay the driverD. was at the Alma Bridge then26. The driver dared to drive through the red light because he ________.A. found there was no cross traffic there and thenB. thought it a shame to be controlled by a machineC. knew no other driver would see him at this hourD. used to drive through the red light at midnight27. We can infer from the passage that the writer ________.A. never drives through red lightsB. moved to France one year agoC. probably comes from the UKD. isn’t influenced by the driverCOut of every ten married couples, at least eight of them go through “emot ional divorce”, due to the stresses and pressures of having a special needs child.Explaining the emotional divorce that occurs between the husband and wife, Dr Al Mehrazi, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Family, said, “Emotional divorce means the relationship persists but the emotions die out and there are no feelings any more. It’s as if the father tries to punish the mother for that child. As a result, it can lead to a breakdown of the family and the mother then bears the burden of the special needs child. But sometimes the mother would also abandon her special needs child and focus on her healthy children. Many mothers try to keep the care of the special needs child in the care of the housemaids with no training.”Many families also have a very negative attitude toward having a special needs child, mainly because of the stigma it receives from society. As a result, they generally want to hide the fact that they have a special needs child. This often leads to abandoning or giving very little attention to the special needs child.“This is a challenge in front of us and we need to change this. We need to develop programmes, we need qualified people to work in this field in terms of guidance in helping these families, and we have to adopt clear approaches and methods dealing with conflicts within the family. We can’t let that child be a victim or a source of suffering and divorce, but would like the family to look at the child as a blessing from the heavens.” said Dr Al Mehrazi.Special needs people themselves also have a lot to offer, and in some cases have represented and done more for the UAE than people without disabilities. Special needs people have great power. Some special needs people from the UAE have raised the flag of this country more than some able-bodied people. Special needs people aren’t miserable people.28. The underlined word “persists” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. changesB. stopsC. improvesD. continues29. Wh ich of the following words can best describe most parents’ feeling about having a specialneeds child?A. Ashamed.B. Guilty.C. Regretful.D. Scared.30. In Dr Al Mehrazi’s opinion, ________.A. special needs children help strengthen a familyB. special needs children are a mistake of the heavensC. families with special needs children need professional guidanceD. most mothers take care of their special needs children themselves31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. special needs people are a symbol of the UAEB. people with special needs should learn to contributeC. having special needs doesn’t necessarily mean inabilityD. the disabled contribute more to the UAE than normal peopleDSometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incuhating（酝酿）the problem in your subconscious（潜意识）yet can’t account for why it occurs.When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subco n scious mind doesn’t quit working Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you’ve experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you’ve forg otten about, and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. Now let go of the problem. Don’t work on it. Forget it. Do so mething else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign. Bert, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his Subconscious mind.Secret Expert,I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows. I’m interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience’s attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising.Thanks, BertBert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on “eggs”. Somehow an association between “foods”, “need” and “fresh approach” inspired the thoug ht of using “fresh eggs to advertise.” He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs—some thirty million.The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refriger ator, and when they crack them open. It’s unlike any other ad medium in the world,because you’re looking at it while you are usingit.32. You remember names though you are not thinking about them because yoursubconscious mind ________.A. stops workingB. is still workingC. is full of namesD. improves your memory33. During the incubation stage, your focused awareness _________.A. doesn’t workB. controls your thoughtsC. waits for an answerD. helps your unconscious34. Which of the following was included in Bert’s letter to his subconscious mind?A. What he wanted it to do.B. When he would need its help.C. What product could be advertised.D. How the solution could be found.35. In what way did the ad put on eggs help?A. It greatly increased the sales of eggs.B. It helped Bert to get a brainstorm.C.

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight．A recent researc h has found a new recipe of success．According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6months for cats, a year for dogs ）, it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Twothirds of the home s interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．However, it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the ho mes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．Fo r example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same si gnals submission．In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior ．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn ho w to talk"dog", and dogs can learn how to talk"cat"．What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in c ommon than we previously suspected．Once familiar with each other's presence and body l anguage, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping t ogether on the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom （梳理） each other．The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world super powers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance．（1）The underlined word"swimmingly"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning to________．A early.B sweetly.C quickly D．（2）Some cats and dogs may fight when________．A they are cold to each other．B they look away from each other．C they misunder stand each other's signals．D they are introduced at an early age．（3）It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs________．A have common interests.B are less different than was thought．C have a common body language ．D are less intelligent than was expected．（4）What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs？________A We should learn to live in harmony．B We should know more about animals．C We should live in peace with animals．D We should learn more body languages．3.
