高中英语真题：某中学2015届高三下学期第三次模拟考试试卷试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peter s’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do —I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.21. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightC. her mother allowed her to do soD. It was a routine of the party22. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house23. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a bad-tempered womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas24. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. a fan-purchasing experienceC. the shocking death of a famous singerD. an unfriendly hostess2.BEIJING — China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination toensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.“It has harmed education equality，” the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.But not all the Chinese pare nts welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitionsduring vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,” he said.25. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges26. What does the underlined word “geek” probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student27. Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren28. What might be the best title for the text?A. “Extra credits” policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic competitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD. Chinese government to push education reform3.

China hopes to review history and look forward to the future together with its allies(同盟国).Victory—the history of the Chinese nation's destiny(命运), a great victory in the world. This is the historical turning point of Chinese national destiny. Let’s remember the days.August 15, 1945Japan declared unconditional surrender. China finally won after eight years of Anti-Japanese War.September 2, 1945In Japan Tokyo Bay, Missouri battleship, Japan's new foreign minister and chief of the general staff on behalf of the Japanese government signed a letter of surrender(投降). September 3, 1945The national government decided that the day was celebrated for the victory of the war of resistance against Japan. This day, it is also recognized as the world's anti-fascism war victory day.September 9, 1945Nanjing, which had brutally butcher the Japanese atrocities(暴行) in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, witnessed the historic moment invaders final bow: Surrender signing ceremony was held in Nanjing. China formally accepted the Japanese surrender in Nanjing.Rising from the ashes, the Chinese nation wash one hundred years of humiliation(耻辱), win the position, self-confidence and dignity, and stand up proudly in the east of the world ! This is a great victory for the world to remember!1. When was the surrender signing ceremony held?A. August 15, 1945B. September 9, 1945C. September 3, 1945D. September 2, 19452.

With her room filled with shopping bags, she won’t talk about going and she is off with friends most of time. One night, after a long period of silence between us, I asked what I might have done or said to make her angry with me. She sighed and said, “Mom, you haven’t done anything. It’s fine—just distant.”But in the past we had always found some way to connect. When Alice was a toddler, I would go to the day-care center after work. I’d find a quiet spot and she would nurse—our eyes locked together, reconnecting with each other. In the middle school, when other mothers were already sorry for the estrangement(疏远) they felt with their adolescent daughters, I hit upon a solution: I would show up occasionally at school, sign her out of class and take her somewhere—out to lunch,to the movie, once for a long walk on the beach. It may sound irresponsible, but it kept us close when other mothers and daughters were at a loss. We talked everything on those outings—outings we kept secret from family and friends. When she started high school, I’d get up with her in the morning to make her a sandwich for lunch, and we’d silent ly drink a cup of tea together before the 6:40 bus came.But now we are having two kinds of partings. I want the romanticized version, where we go to lunch and lean across the table and say how much we will miss each other. I want smiles through tears and the chance to offer some last bits of wisdom. But as she prepares to depart, Alice’s feelings have gone underground. When I reach to touch her arm, she pulls away. She turns down every invitation I extend. She lies on her bed, reading Emily Dickinson until I say I have always loved Emily Dickinson, and then she closes the book.4. From the first paragraph, we know that ___________.A. Alice is anxious about talking about leavingB. Alice is tired of the author’s suggestionC. the author is angry with her daughter, AliceD. there is a generation gap between Mom and Alice5. In the middle school, what the author did was to _________.A. keep much close to AliceB. talk with Alice till late at nightC. make her a sandwich for lunchD. find a responsible way to teach Alice6. When Allie was in her teens, ___________.A. she got along well with her MomB. she needed an independent lifeC. she liked to keep the distance from her MomD. she attended the day-care center7. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. there are different attitudes toward parting between the author and AliceB. there is not much communication between the author and AliceC. Alice is shy and has no friend except her motherD. Alice is eager to part with the authorCThe terracotta army figures(兵马俑) were made both in workshops by government laborers and also by local craftsmen. The head, arms, legs and main body were created separately and then gathered. Studies show that eight face moulds(模具) were most likely used, and then clay was added to provide individual facial features. Once gathered, intricate features such as facialexpressions were added. It is believed that their legs were made in much the same way that terracotta drainage pipes were made at the time. This would make it an assembly line production, with specific parts made and gathered after being fired, as opposed to crafting one solid piece of terracotta and afterwards firing it. In those days, each workshop was required to carve its name on items produced to ensure quality control. This has aided modern historians in checking that workshops that once made tiles and other items were used to work on the terracotta army. Upon completion, the terracotta figures were placed in the pits in precise military formation according to rank and duty.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. They vary in height, uniform and hairstyle in accordance with rank. The colo red painting’s finish, individual facial features, and actual weapons and armor(盔甲) from battle used in producing these figures created a realistic appearance. The original weapons were stolen by robbers shortly after the creation of the army and the coloring has faded greatly. However, their existence serves as a will to the amount of labor and skill involved in their construction. It also shows the power the First Emperor possessed, enabling him to command such a monumental undertaking.8. Why did the terracotta figures have their different facial features?A. The head, arms, legs were created separately.B. Many various face moulds were most widely used.C. Clay was added after using face moulds.D. There were different assembly line productions9. How were the terracotta figures placed after completion?A. By rank and duty.B. By pits right position.C. Through military formation.D. From the young to the old.10. Which are different among the terracotta figures although they are life-like and life-sized?A. Facial expressions, head, arms and legs.B. Height, uniform, hairstyle and facial features.C. The head, arms, legs and main body.D. Height, uniform, hairstyle and duty.11. What was the purpose that the First Emperor made the terracotta figures?A. To build a monument for himself.B. To show the skills of the national labors.C. To make people remember him.D. To show off the power he owned.DYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a temperamental(性情的) good character of courage over timidity(胆怯), of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure(诱惑) of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.When your aerials(天线) are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.12. Which of the following best describes youth according to Paragraph1?A. Meaningful.B. BeautifulC. Helpful.D. Emotional.13. What makes the soul wrinkled according to the passage?A. A number of years.B. Self-distrustC. Deserting the idealsD. Lack of enthusiasm14. What can we learn from the last Paragraph?A. When you become old, you will feel hopeless.B. Where there is optimism, there is youth.C. Once you stop achieving your ideals, you will grow well.D. The younger you hope to be, the longer life you will live.15. What does the word “cynicism” in the last pa ragraph refer to?A. selfishnessB. willingnessC. hopelessnessD. happiness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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

广东省增城市2015届高三第三次调研考试英语试题第一节完形填空(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)What happens if you go out of home by yourself, although you may study best in your school? Will life be as easy as the one when your parents are around? Few teenagers are able to give a positive 1 to this question.“The only thing I can make to 2 my stomach is tomato and egg soup, and I think many of my classmates are 3 to me，” said Xiao Hua, a 14-year-old student.Although she believes that 4 living skills such as cooking and washing clothes are a 5 in creating a self-made person, the girl doesn’t think teenagers are given enough 6 to practice.For most 7 like Xiao Hua, it’s only when they have to leave home that they decide to learn some living skills. They are too 8 with their heavy schoolwork to think about such stuff(东西).However, Xiao Ming, a 15-year-old boy, doesn’t think so. “We should 9 these skills day by day, just in case of an unexpected 10 ,” he said.A few days ago, his mother 11 her leg and Xiao Ming started to cook for the family.

Calls to the flower-shop were of no help. After a while I stopped 17 (try) to discover the sender's name and just delighted in 18 beautiful white flower.But I kept on imagining 19 the giver might be. Some of my 20 (happy) moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd delivered during the winter. 21 a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.My father passed away one month before I graduated. I felt so sad 22 I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own 23 (sad), would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see 24 much like the gardenia, lovely, strong and perfect.It was ten days after I 25 (marry) that my mother died. And I was 22 years old. That was the year the gardenia never came any longer.Ⅱ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AWearing glasses and a T-shirt, one can hardly relate Chai Huilong to his job – a chive (韭菜) farmer. Two years ago, Chai graduated from Tianjin College of University of Science andTechnology Beijing. He took over his parents’ 20,000-square-meter plot of land and set up a business: growing Chinese chives.But instead of growing chives in the traditional way, Chai plants them in garden pots and sells them directly to customers through an online store. Now his family earns 10 million yuan a year.Chai is one of many young people who have found great career opportunities in rural areas. They make good use of their agricultural knowledge and new technologies, and benefit from supportive policies. When Chai came up with the idea of growing chives in pots, he was not sure about running his own business. But Youth Business China, a non-profit program backed by the government, gave him “courage and strength”, he said.The program helps promote youth entrepreneurship(创业). It offers 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in start-up funding to young people who have promising ideas. It also assigns each of them a tutor who provides guidance on spending fund money and operating the company. “My tutor makes sure I’m on the right track,” said Chai. “Without him, I will lose heart.”Local governments also encourage young graduates to pursue a career in rural areas. They often provide special subsidies to those who run agriculture-related businesses. For example, Chai was able to buy agricultural machinery and tools at a discount.“Besides, be prepared for a lot of mental pressure if you plan to be a modern farmer,” said Chai.“My relatives and friends regard farming as a less respectable job. But being a farmer is just my job, not my identity,” said Chai.So far, his products have been sold to places as far away as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Chai is even more optimistic that he can further broaden the definition(定义) of farming in the future.26. How does Chai sell his Chinese chives to consumers?A. With the help of his parents.B. By advertisement.C. With the help of the government.D. By running an online shop.27. What can we infer about Chai Huilong in Paragraph 3?A. He benefited a lot from the government.B. He was good at running his business.C. He was an expert in growing chives.D. He majored in agriculture.28. Chai became more confident mainly because _________.A. he worked hardB. he received all the fundingC. his tutor gave him encouragementD. his idea confused him29. The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.A. methodsB. aids of moneyC. productsD. skills30. What is the passage mainly about?A. A successful chive farmer.B. A path to setting up a business.C. A non-profit program--Youth Business China.D. A learned graduate.BBeing a teenager is a difficult challenge. You frequently disobey the rules that parents ask you to do. So parents often do not know what to expect. Many of them often find it difficult to understand what you need during your growing. They don’t know whether what you are doing is for independent action or for rebellion.Some adults consider adolescence as a period of friction(摩擦), change and problems. For you it’s a time of school pressures, girlfriends, boyfriends or your future.It's easy to understand why so many people find this a difficult time. But once it’s over, you will realize that most of your parents’annoyed behavior is motivated by feelings of love and concern. You think adolescence can be a trying time. But if you communicate with your parents, and try to understand each other, this period will be less trying and more fun for you all.Below are a few tips to improve the communication you have with your parents:Be honest with your feelings while talking. Your parents are of great help to you, but they don’t know what’s going on in your life if you don’t tell them.If your parents upset you by grounding, you don’t immediately take the defensive side. Make sure you talk to your parents when you’re not emotionally upset. If you start yelling or crying, you won’t be able to express your important feelings.Listen to what your parents have to say. If you’re getting a chance to speak what’s on your mind, it’s only fair to give the same opportunity to your parents. If you listen to what they say, you may learn that you’ve been misinterpreting their feelings.When you’re talking to your parents if they say something you disagree with, don’timmediately overreact. Give them a chance to express their feelings and then calmly explain why you may disagree with them. Try to identify what you need from them and tell them if they may not know. Only when you follow the above advice, can you have a good time as a teenager.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell teenagers some advice on how to talk with parents.B. To describe some troubles on teenagers’ growth.C. To describe to teenagers a difficult challenge.D. To explain teenagers' feelings and problems.32. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. Doctors.C. Teenagers.D. Teachers.33. The underlined word "trying" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A. annoyedB. difficultC. lovelyD. effective34. Which isn’t the positive advice to improve the communication you have with your parents?A. Take the defensive actions.B. Be honest with your feelings.C. Listen to your parents.D. Identify your need.35. When your parents don’t know what your life is like, you shouldn't ________.A. misunderstand themB. express your important feelingsC. react too muchD. tell a lie about your feelingsCIn 2016, a widely-used college entrance test called the SAT will change the current examination in America. The Not-for-Profit College Board(大学委员会) announced that it will no longer test students on rarely used words. Students will also not be required to provide a writing work called an essay. And the new SAT will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on issues like freedom and human rights.The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT every year, including about 100,000 foreign students.The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student,Pearl is in her first year at Howard University. She says that the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform.Eddie West is a member of the College Board. He says the new test will predict a student’s performance better in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence or Martin Luther King’s works, or anything else that might be tested.Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.36. What will be removed from the new SAT?A. Words that are often used.B. Words that are seldom used.C. Passages about human rights.D. Material about American historical documents.37. What will be tested in the new SAT?A. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.B. All the different meanings of a word.C. The rare usage of the common words.D. The difficult words for foreign students.38. The new SAT could be more difficult for international students because .A. they are short of skills and abilitiesB. they often perform badly in collegeC. they have different cultural backgroundsD. they know nothing about American history39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Eddie West is against the changes to the SAT.B. The SAT is an entrance test just for foreign students.C. The SAT is the only entrance test to American colleges.D. The foreign students should make great efforts to pass the SAT.40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. How to prepare for the new SAT.B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT.D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.DStem cells(干细胞) have the great potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of inner repair system, dividing essentially without limit to add other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more special function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important characteristics. First, they are non-specialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division. Second, under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced(诱导) to become tissue or organ specific cells with special functions. In some organs, such as the bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace damaged tissues. In other organs, however, like the pancreas (胰腺) and the heart, stem cells only divide under special conditions.Stem cells are important for living organisms for many reasons. In the 3-to 5-day-old embryo, called a blastocyst(胚囊), the inner cells give rise to the entire body of the organism, including all of the many specialized cell types and organs such as the heart, lungs, skin, eggs and other tissues. In some adult tissues, such as bone marrow, muscle, and brain, a number of adult stem cells make replacements for cells that are lost through normal injury, or disease.According to their unique updated abilities, stem cells offer new potentials for treating diseases such as heart disease. However, much work remains to be done in the laboratory and the clinic to understand how to use these cells to treat disease. Research on stem cells continues to advance knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. Stem cell research is one of the most fascinating areas of modern biology, but, as with many expanding fields of scientific inquiry, research on stem cells raises scientific questions as rapidly as its new discoveries are found.41. Once a stem cell divides, which does not happen?A. It maintains the stem cell itself.B. It develops another sort of cell with some functions.C. It divides without any limit in the living body.D. It stops renewing the stem cell itself.42. One of the reasons why we can tell stem cells from other cell types is that _________.A. stem cells are specialized cells which can renew themselves by dividingB. stem cells are born of organ specific cells with special functionsC. stem cells do nothing but divide under special conditions in the heartD. stem cells are divided into damaged tissues43. From the passage, we can know that _________.A. new stem cells will replace the old broken cellsB. new stem cells will enter each organ in the same conditionC. stem cells can be alive in 3 to 5 daysD. stem cells will lead to many diseases44. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Stem cells have widely been used in treating many diseases.B. Doctors can clone any organ which they want by developing stem cells.C. Much medicine needs to be produced in the laboratory and the clinic.D. Scientists continually discover new answers while researching on stem cells.45. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Stem Cells Are of ImportanceB. What Are Stem Cells, and Why Are They ImportantC. Stem Cells Do Good to Our HealthD. Why We Can Live Depends on Stem Cells第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
