2016衡水万卷作业三十三考试时间:45分钟姓名:__________班级:__________考号:__________一、完形填空A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane.1, before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 2on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 3the engines with it. We will 4in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 5!”There were sighs of 6and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 7yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 8there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 9, so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”There was crying 10we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 11was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 12happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 13for still being alive.Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 14“see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 15with inaction just because they don’t have 16success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 17thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap-pens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!”It might not be as 18as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 19! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 20of guaranteed success.1.A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C. UnfortunatelyD. Thankfully2.A. service B. power C. waterD. fuel3.A. shut B. fix C. changeD. start4.A. get up B. pack up C. light upD. speed up5.A. wait B. delay C. crashD. suffer6.A. rumor B. desperation C. diseaseD. pain7.A. looked over B. gone out C. got acrossD. taken off8.A. sitting B. checking C. watchingD. boarding9.A. puzzled B. patient C. anxiousD. embarrassed10.A. even if B. as if C. what ifD. only if11.A. comment B. complaint C. promiseD. plan12.A. everything B. something C. nothingD. anything13.A. escaped B. cheered C. sighedD. praised14.A. less than B. other than C. better thanD. more than15.A. frozen B. annoyed C. concernedD. satisfied16.A. realistic B, organized C. potentialD. guaranteed17.A. same B. common C. bestD. last18.A. interesting B. challenging C. surprisingD. encouraging19.A. rewarding B. disappointing C. sorrowD. trouble20.A. meaning B. sign C. actionD. reward二、阅读理解AYOU CAN HELP!Everyone was born with his own built—in burglar alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound. Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.(Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars(窃贼), the vandals, and the car thieves.Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community. For instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look out.That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.21. The underlined word “them”refers to “__________”.A criminalsB the policeC neighboursD strangers22. The advertisement points out that many people.A are not ready to help the policeB are not as watchful as they could beC don’t look after their gardens wellD don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays23. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to.A turn on the alarm system in our homeB try to stop criminals from escapingC look out for people behaving suspiciouslyD inform the police if we hear noises upstairs24. The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood.A ask people to join the police forceB advise people how to protect their homesC warn people about the increasing risk of crimeD encourage people to be on watch for possible crimeBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone enteredthe room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said, “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say,“I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.”One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?”her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least nomore than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25. This text is most probably written by.A a specialist in teenager studiesB a headmaster of a middle schoolC a parent with teenage childrenD a doctor for mental health problems26. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as.A lazyB quietC unusualD rude27. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters.A pay no attention to themB are too busy to look after themC have come to hate themD feel helpless to do muchabout them28. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CBEIJING —China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits(学分)”for the national college entrance examination to ensure 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 studen ts' 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 inacademic 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(优先权).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 parents 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 competitions during 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,”lie said.29.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 colleges30.What does the underlined word “geek”probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student31.Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren32.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.

So they are called“diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of theblood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.39. However,a change in food is one of the main differences between lire in ancienttimes and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did nothave milk or any other dairy products and they made very little use of grains.40. We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twiceas much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.41.

Its customers can enjoy their own composition.D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.BEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes moreefficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish .The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other persons off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible.

But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memori es of the screen, not memories of my life.29.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198230.What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The heatB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance31.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a fan of John Wayne.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a movie star.32.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.33.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author turned out to be a great singer.B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.DWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU)in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.She was cleaning out the attic(阁楼)one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript(手稿). On its top page w ere the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.34.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A. The girl’s mother.B. The author’s father.C. The girl.D. The author.35.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.36.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragr aph 2 probably means __________.A. namedB. treatedC. provedD. described37.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.三、七选五This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for beingunaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetf ul and clumsy._38.__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __39.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots orotherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__40. _ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it w hile you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower orwalking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep._41. _Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____42.Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in theclouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hardto understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re inthe daydream zone.四、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning.Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did.One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.21.What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C. It was important for the keeper's fame.D. It was focused on the garage and yard.22.The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A. one of the members saw the boatB. a warning call reached the lighthouseC. the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD. the inspector flew special flags in the distance23.Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A. result in some funB. speed up washing themC. make her home look tidyD. be a demand from the inspector24.If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A. an empty panB. many clean dishesC. pieces of baked breadD. a cloth covering something25.The inspector waved his arms ______.A. to try his best to keep steadyB. to show his satisfaction with the floorC. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD. to express his intention to continue the inspectionBWhat Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t prerequisite for a moderngrow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can(装罐)and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that every has the ability to control what’s on their plate.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fre sh flavor,”she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her webs ite Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.” “Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.”Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food. Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and ke ep itin a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.”In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this d esire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no will.”26.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Pare. 1) is closest in meaning to “______”.A. recipeB. substituteC. requirementD. challenge27.Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?A. They are used daily.B. They are easy to grow.C. They can grow very tallD. They can be eaten uncooked28.According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?A. It can preserve their best flavorB. It can promote her online salesC. It can better her cooking skillsD. It can improve their nutrition29.What is the“the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?A. The knowledge about good foodB. The way to live a grow-our-own lifeC. The joy of getting in touch with foodsD. The responsibility to protect our earthCWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.30.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.31.What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.32.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.33.After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people34.This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyD35.Nearpod can be used to ______.A. offer grammar testsB. teach listening on-lineC. help vocabulary learningD. gain fluency in speaking36.If you want to improve your speaking skills, you can go to____________.A. Room 501B. Room 502C. Room 601D. Room 60237.Which of the following can assess your grammar learning?A. Nearpod.B. Kahoot.C. TEO.D. Prezi.38.A teacher who wants to learn on-line teaching is expected to arrive by ______.A. 9:00 amB. 10:30 amC. 2:00 pmD. 3:30pm三、七选五Imagine yourself in a small airplane 3,300 meters above the ground. The engines roar in your ears as you move towards the open door. Then you' re outside, falling with the wind whipping past your ears. As the ground rushes up at you, you open your parachute.____39.______. All in all, you were in free fall for only 30 seconds---the longest 30 seconds of your life.____40.________. However, a growing number of adventurers are taking the risk.Obviously skydiving isn't something you can just try, like fishing or bowling. So, if you want to attempt the sport, you'll need to go to ground school._____41._______. The course is taught by licensed skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years.They'll teach you how to keep your body position stable. You'll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and, most importantly, when to open your parachute.Once you' re through with ground school, it's time to get up in the air.__42.__. Two instructors always jump with the person, ready to pull the student's parachute open if he or she freezes up.____43.___. It certainly seems dangerous when you' re watching someone fall at 200 km/ hr.But, if you believe the statistics, skydiving is actually safer than driving, with one fatality (死亡) occurring in approximately 60, 000 jumps. Moreover, most enthusiasts agree all fear stops the second your feet leave the plane, and when you land, the only thought in your mind is, "Wow! I want to do that again!"A. However, a new jumper never jumps alone.B. It takes years to forget the taste of fear from skydiving.C. No doubt, you're thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport.D. It explodes over your head, pulling you back and upwards.E. For most of us, skydiving is something we only see in the movies.F. Ground school is where you learn to jump, without leaving the ground.G. Skydiving is the sport of jumping out of an airplane and falling freely through the air.四、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
