[答案]
61.peaceful
62.brings
63.However
64.when
https://www.doczj.com/doc/3213586633.html,test
66.blew
67.simply
68.Driven
69.in
70.feelings
61.peaceful 考查形容词。happy与peace要修饰后面的名词life，所以peace应用它的形容词形式peaceful。故填peaceful。
62.brings 考查动词。It作主语，动词应变为第三人称单数形式。故填brings。
63.However 考查副词。前句提到我和Linda要好得像姐妹，后句却说她们因为一个决定争吵了，所以此处在填一个转折词however。故填However。
64.when 考查连词。后句说她的朋友想晚点去，因为她还没有洗头，可我不想那时候去，可知两人在讨论什么时候去的问题。故填when。
https://www.doczj.com/doc/3213586633.html,test 考查形容词。publication是名词，前面应用形容词来修饰，此处不涉及比较级，所以不用later，故填latest。
66.blew 考查时态。这篇文章讲述的是过去的事情，此处动词应用过去式。故填blew。
67.simply 考查副词。simple修饰后面的形容词ridiculous，用其副词形式。故填simply。
68.Driven 考查过去分词。此句是个被动句，由by可看出，用动词的过去分词形式。故填Driven。
69.in 考查介词短语。walk in one’s shoes固定短语，站在他人的角度想问题。故填in。
70.feelings 考查名词。此句要表达的是我们就可以避免伤害彼此的感情，feel表达感情的意思时应用feeling，彼此之间是两个人，后加s。故填feelings。

B【江西省红色七校2016届高三第一次联考】
In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach
the last page, she reads, “...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily together ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.”
We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In the life, you learned that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.
So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?
Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not a whole lot you can do about those first few chapters.You didn’t get the bes t start.Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed. You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures that happened in your past are just that in your past. There’s still more to the story.
While your life has a lot of contributors(投稿者), you are the editor-in-chief. You take what’s there and create the masterpiece. All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.
When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. So, keep rewriting your story every day that you’re alive. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it all ends is up to you.
34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To help the readers to live a good life.
B. To encourage the readers to write their own stories.
C. To advise parents to tell the fairy tale to their kids.
D. To describe the difficulties in today’s education.
35.Which of the following may NOT often appear in the fairy tale?
A. Glass slipper.
B. Winding roads.
C. Sad ending.
D. Bad witches.
36.According to the fires paragraph, we know the woman is ________.
A. wise
B. cruel
C. brave
D. stupid
37.Why does the author mention the question in Paragraph 3?
A. To express the doubt to life
B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce a point for discussion.
D. To describe the conditions in life.
35.C推理判断题。根据第二段glass slippers可排除A，根据最后一段There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way.可排除B,D，故选C。
36.A推理判断题。根据短文第一段这个女人对小女孩说的话You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.可以看出这个女人很明智，故选A。
37.C推理判断题。很明显，作者提出了这样的一个问题，从而引出了讨论点，后面三段都是围绕这个进行讨论，故选C。

C【江西省红色七校2016届高三第一次联考】
We grew up with the familiar toy bricks (积木) that gave us the imagination to build towers and castles. Generations have been attracted by this toy that lets children and adults alike create anything and everything. But with over 200 millions sets being sold a year in over 100 countries, the question remains —where did Lego actually come from?
Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter (木匠), Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in the early 1930s. He established a small business in Denmark. He and his team built a variety of household goods like ironing boards along with wooden toys. The Lego name was adopted in 1934, formed from the Danish words “Leg
Godt” or “play well”, which means “I study” or “I put together” in Latin.
Christiansen’s company continued to make wooden toys until 1942 when fire struck — the entire Lego factory burned to the ground. Unwilling to give in, the factory was rebui lt and the production line restarted soon after. By 1954, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was during his conversation with an overseas buyer that he was struck by the idea of a toy system.
For over 30 years, the Lego Company made only toys and related goods. Then, in 1968, the company opened its first Legoland in Denmark. Combining the Lego building bricks with a computer, the Robotics Invention System 1.5 is now the most advanced toy in the Lego Company, which is targeted at users aged twelve and above, and that includes any parents or grandparents that want to join in.
Now the Lego Company is expanding its production lines to include lights, cameras and so on. Lego Company has done a lot to entertain many children around the world.
38. The author presents the text by ________.
A. telling an interesting story
B. showing the process in different stages
C. introducing a practical method
D. describing many different activities
39.Which of the following is NOT true about the Robotics Invention System 1.5?
A. It is the most advanced toy in the Lego Company.
B. It combines the Lego building bricks with a computer.
C. It is intended for users aged twelve and above.
D. It is the most expensive toy invented since 1968.
40. What is the correct order of the following events in the development of Lego?
a. The entire Lego factory burned to the ground.
b. The company and its products adopted the name Lego.
c. The company opened its first Legoland in Denmark.
d. Godtfred had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group.
A. cadb
B. cbad
C. abcd
D. badc
30.D细节理解题。根据短文二三四段可知首先是公司取名叫Lego，然后公司上市，然后Godtfred成为了Lego团队的初级总经理，然后这个公司创建了他们的主题乐园，故选D。第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）【湖北省部分重点中学2015-2016学年度上学期新高三起点】
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。
There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.
41 Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.
The business also adds another factor: The need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly. 42 Computers, DVDs, CDs, television,PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a lifestyle of less exercise.
43 Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick take away rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard (轰炸) their audience with “perfect” body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.
Environments vary. 44 This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.
45 Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy if he/she is motivated enough!
A．The media provide entertainment and information.
B．Advertisements play an important role in people's life.
C．The important one is motivation or the desire to be healthy.
D．Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology.
E．People are living in a water-polluted environment.
F．We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke.
G．Nowadays, people are very busy.
【解析】
试题分析：本文是一篇议论文，介绍了影响成年人和孩子过健康生活的因素，其中工作繁忙、事业、媒体提供的娱乐和信息、环境的变化和人们追求健康生活的意愿是文本介绍的五种主要因素。最主要的还是人们的意愿，只要人们足够积极一定会找到一种理想健康的生活方式。
41.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后句提到父母双方外出打工都很忙，由此可判断G选项符合语境，起到统领本段的作用。故选G。
42.D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后句提到电脑、DVD、CD等成为了主要的娱乐活动，这些都属于技术类。D选项符合语境，故选D。
43.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后具体到promote的想反面，因此推断前句也应该提供了某些事物。故选A。
