浙江省2019届高考《英语》模拟试题(一)英语试题(满分120分,考试时间100分钟,不含听力)第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.1.Nobel wanted to set up the Nobel Peace Prize because _____.A. he made enough moneyB. he hated warC. he wanted to get more interest from the fundD. he liked to live in a peaceful world2.Nobel Prizes come from _____.A. all Nobel’s money in the fundB. AllNobel’s money in his companyC. all the interest from the fundD. some of the interest in the fund3.Which statement of the following is Right according to the passage?_____.A. Nobel set up his company to sell clothes.B. Mostof Nobel’s money was used for the world Wars.C. Nobel Prizes are only for some people from some special countries.D. Nobel worked hard in his life and saved lots of money for the world to share.BWhen we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted(远视的) suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm‘s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people‘s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eye and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn you head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive(敏感的) in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eyes after dark.4.According to the passage, a _____ is more likely to be nearsighted.A. tailorB. doctorC. guardD. Painter5. Those who suffer from cataracts _____.A.will become blindB.cannot be cured (治愈)C.may be curedD.must move to other places6. People who are farsighted _____.A.cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB.can only see things that are very close to their eyesC.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm‘s lengthD.have the same problem as the nearsighted people7. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ______.A.with wide open eyesB.with half- shut or narrowed eyesC.straight at itD.in a slightly different directionCAir pollution is damaging 60% of Europe’s prime wildlife sites in meadows, forests and bushes, according to a new report.A team of EU scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. It’s the second report this week warning of the on-going risks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.Nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world. Emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排气), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. The reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: It can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix ofspecies. But primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow.In effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.The effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. They harm more delicate species like mosses(苔藓), and insect-eating sundew plants.The report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. The r eport’s lead author, Dr Kevin Hicks from the University of York’s Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), told BBC News that England’s Peak District had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.“Nitrogen creates arather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention,” he said. “Governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.”He said more research was needed to understand the knock-on effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms.At the conference, the representatives agreed “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen”. Thedocument highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.8. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. it’s harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmosphereB. reactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than cropsC. the harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversityD. reactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity9. The team of EU scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when __________.A. no action was taken to stop nitrogen emissionB. governments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogenC. “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen” was agreedD. nitrogen emissio ns were threatening wildlife sites’ biodiversity10. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Keeping Away From Nitrogen EmissionsB. Stopping Nitrogen EmissionsC. Air Pollution Damaging Europe’s WildlifeD. Saving Europe’s Wil dlife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。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was,but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below,who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the envir onmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the d eciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913-2005)On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgmery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired lr giving in,”said Parks.21.What is jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B. Her lack of proper training in law.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.22. What is the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. Her little work experience in court.C. The discrimination against women.D. The poor financial conditions.23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are peace-lovers.BGrandparents Answer a CallAs a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away,. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to thechildren and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson ‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“in the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t ge t away from home far enough fas t enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of grate mag azine for grandparents .We now realize how important family is and how important”” to be near them, especially when you’re raining children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.24. Why was Garza’s move a success?A.It strengthened her family ties.B.It improved her living conditions.C.It enabled her make more friends.D.It helped her know more new places.25.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?A.17% expressed their support for it.B.Few people responded sympathetically.C.83% believed it had a bad influence.D.The majority thought it was a trend.26. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A.They were unsure of raise more children.B.They were eager to raise more children.C.They wanted to live away from their parents.D.They bad little respect for their grandparent.27.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A. Make decisions in the best interests' of their ownB. Ask their children to pay more visits to themC. Sacrifice for their struggling childrenD. Get to know themselves betterCThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they ma y be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stub bornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomforta ble; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary f or understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among peo ple, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.28.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.39.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.30.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold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。
浙江省2019届高考《英语》模拟试题(十五)英语试题(满分120分,考试时间100分钟,不含听力)卷Ⅰ第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题,每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项AWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good lu ck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care,starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.1. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Aiming high even when doing small things.D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.2. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving.D. To teach him English pronunciation.3. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?A. MoneyB. GiftsC. Financial successD. Good luck4. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the importance of managing moneyD. the difficulty of starting a businessBTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy f or conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. Oneperson should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need f. consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.5. This article is mainly about .A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts6. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that________ .A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight7. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.A. there was a decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. more teachers fell better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improvedCIt was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of --- what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to thi nk of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”8. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her howD. supposed to the don’t game9. By “we were all beside ourselves writer means that they all ________.A. felt confusedB.went wild with joyC. looked onD.forgot their fights10. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.第二节(共5小题,每题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有5处(第61-65题)需要添加小标题。

I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing (刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse.I was staying at my Nana’s house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.I couldn’t even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here.The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediat ely to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn’t wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on – it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression.Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they’d found a suitable donor (捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance at life.24. What happened when the author was having his second heart attack?A. He felt less pain than he had during the previous one.B.

They’ve landed on the moon. They’ve built habitable space statio ns that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet – specifically, Mars.The problem is that it’s no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the moon, and it’ll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormonal changes, skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗).Here’s where some furry friends co me in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if living things could withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch.Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make excellent test subjects. They’re small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their size and short life span make it possible to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in terms of genetics, biology and behavior.Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens, professor of biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS).This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The Italian Space Agency developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission.The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But it’s clear that mice continue to play an important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.28. We can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that ______.A. Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so farB. the journey to Mars could put humans’ health at riskC. it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISSD. animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived29. The underlined word “withstand” in Para.3 means _________.A.set upB. hold upC. work outD. come across30. According to Betty Nusgens and her team, the mice aboard the ISS ______.A. suffered the loss of part of their skinB. all survived for the duration of the missionC. were fed and watered by the astronautsD. participated in 20 experiments that made great breakthroughs31. The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. describe the role mice play in scientific researchB. report on the results of the Mice Drawer SystemC. analyze how mice could pave the way to MarsD. change people’s traditional attitudes toward miceDIs pricing a plane ticket based on the passenger's weight fair? If you're taking an international flight on Samoa Air today, your fare will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is 93 cents to $1.06 for each kilogram.The average American woman weighs 75.5 kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the $1 a kilogram rate, would cost $75.50. But let's be honest here. Since the average American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more.Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, “Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid.”He believes other airlines should adopt the policy.It’ s not a new idea. I re member a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasn’ t been squeezed into a middle seat between two plus-sized folks on a flight? It’ shappened to me; one time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a sold-out flight put me between them. Not one of my better flying experiences.What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a much-needed motivation for Americans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than one-third of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed problem elsewhere.There's no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination (歧视). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade —“and is comparable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women,”wrote Yale University researcher Rebecca M. Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares.“If the policy succeeds it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture,” said one British editorial writer. He holds that it is companies' duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers.And we'll see how effective it is as a business model.32. In Paragraph 3, Chris Langton _____.A. explained the reasons for the ticket policyB. showed the difficulties of the ticket policyC. expressed his doubt about the ticket policyD. discussed the advantages of the ticket policy33. If some American airlines adopt the ticket policy_____.A. they will possibly lose a lot of customersB. there will be less overweight peopleC. people will use other forms of transportationD. the problem of overweight planes will be partly solved34. The author mentions Puhl's study to show_____.A. women are less likely to suffer discriminationB. racial discrimination is getting worse nowadaysC. the ticket policy will have little influence on the obeseD. the ticket policy will make body discrimination more serious35. Which best describes the British editorial writer's attitude to Samoa Air's policy?A. Optimistic.B. Defensive.C. Disapproving.D. Casual.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。

AThe Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco,California is one of the world's most beautiful bridges.It is also one of the most visited places in the world.Vehicles(车辆)cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings.The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color.It was named for the body of water that it crosses,the Golden Gate Strait.The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County,California.Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing.People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船).Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect t heir eyes.A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge.This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.However,11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.Still,this was a new safety record for the time.The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water.The total length is 2737 meters.It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City.Today,the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.21.How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?A.By plane.

The International Labour Organization reports that 75m young people globally are looking for a job.World Bank surveys suggest that 262m young people are economically inactive.Depending on how you measure them,the number of young people without a job is nearly as large as the population of America (311 m).(m=million) Two factors play a big part.First,the long slowdown in the West has reduced demand for labour,and it is easier to put off hiring young people than it is to fire older workers.Second,in emerging economies population growth is the fastest in countries with dysfunctional labour markets,such as India and Egypt.One possible way to settle this problem is to reignite growth.That is easier said than done in a world suffering from debt,and is anyway only a partial answer.The countries where the problem is worst (such as Spain and Egypt) suffered from high youth unemployment even when their economies were growing.Throughout the recession (经济不景气) companies have continued to complain that they cannot find young people with the right skills.This underlines theimportance of two other solutions: reforming labour markets and improving education.Youth unemployment is often at its worst in countries with rigid (死板的) labour markets.High taxes on hiring,strict rules about firing,high minimum wages: all these help force young people to the street corner.South Africa has some of the highest unemployment south of the Sahara,in part because it has powerful trade unions and rigid rules about hiring and firing.Many countries with high youth unemployment rate have high minimum wages and heavy taxes on labour.India has around 200 laws on work and pay.Deregulating (解除管制) labour markets is thus central to settling youth unemployment.But it will not be enough on its own.Britain has a flexible labour market and high youth unemployment.In countries with better records,governments tend to take a more active role in finding jobs for those who are struggling.Germany,which has the second lowest level of youth unemployment in the rich world,pays a proportion of the wages of the long-term unemployed for the first two years.The Nordic countries provide young people with “personalised plans” to get them into employment or training.Across the OECD,people who left school at the earliest opportunity are twice as likely to be unemployed as university graduates.But it is unwise to conclude that governments should simply continue with the established policy of increasing the number of people who graduate from university.In both Britain and the United States many people with expensive liberal-arts degrees are finding it impossible to get decent jobs.In North Africa university graduates are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates.What matters is not just number of years of education people get,but its content.This means expanding the study of science and technology and closing the gap between the world of education and the world of work—for example by upgrading vocational__education and by establishing closer relations between companies and schools.Germany's long-established system of vocational schooling and apprenticeships(学徒制) does just that.Other countries are following suit: Singapore has boosted technical colleges,and Britain is expanding apprenticeships and trying to improve technical education.The problem of youth unemployment has been getting worse for several years.But there are at last some reasons for ernments are trying to address the mismatch between education and the labour panies are beginning to take more responsibility for investing in the young.The world has a real chance of introducing an education-and-training revolution worthy of the scale of the problem.28.In Paragraph 2,the author highlighted the high youth unemployment rate by ________.A.citing quotations and showing figuresB.showing figures and making a comparisonC.giving examples and showing figuresD.making a comparison and giving examples29.According to the passage,which of the following statements may the author approve of?A.Firms fire more older workers than young people in the economic slowdown.B.As long as the economy grows youth unemployment will soon be settled.C.Powerful trade unions and high minimum wages make for low unemployment.D.A flexible labour market is not enough to raise youth employment.30.The passage mainly talks about ________.A.factors contributing to low youth unemploymentB.possible ways to settle global youth unemploymentC.the need for labour market revolutionD.the relations between education and employment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。

ASuddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木)to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.At last - she never knew how long it had taken her - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.21. What did Kate decide to do?A. Stop the express train,B. Check the signal light.C. Meet the passengers.D. Visit the station-master22. Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey?A. Fruitless.B. Boring.C. Well-planned.D. Risky.23. Why did the station-master turn pale?A. He suddenly fell ill.B. He realized the danger.C.He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.BThe Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who isable to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机),The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meat tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme,”Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk. US environmental website recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling,we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hote l’s green profile (形象)."If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.24. What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?A. To promote the hotel's green concept.B. To make the city known to the world.C. To attract people to the hotel restaurant.D. To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.25. How can a participant get a free meal?A. By becoming a professional cyclist.B. By cycling to produce some electricity.C. By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.D. By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.26. Who are most likely to enter for the programme?A. The poor local people.B. The environment activists.C. Health-conscious hotel guests.D.Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.27. According to paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world's _.A. best chain hotelsB. greenest natural environmentsC. longest bike pathsD. highest rales of people cycling to workCDigital technology - email and smart phones especially - have vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it» and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深)by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however,that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的),because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who havens worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.28. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A. They fear losing control of their workers.B. They want to stick to their routine practice.C. They have little trust in modem technology.D.They are used to face-to-face communication.29- What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A. DoubtfulB. FavorableC. ReservedD. Disapproving.30. What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours.B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Adopt flexible work patterns.D. Reduce their staff’s workload.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。

2018年浙江高三上学期高考模拟英语试卷(部分重点中学联考)-学生用卷一、阅读理解(共10小题,每小题2.5分,共25分)1、【来源】 2018年浙江高三上学期高考模拟(A篇)第21~23题7.5分Paddy Nicholls, 69, won his fight for justice yesterday after 23 years in prison for the murder of a woman. Mr. Nicholls was locked up for life for murdering Gladys Heath, a 74-year-old friend, found dead at her home in Worthing, Sussex.Mr. Nicholls was taken to London's Law Courts in a wheelchair yesterday to hear his name formally cleared and to hear Lord Justice Roth said, "We regret that you were wrongly found guilty and have spent such a long time in prison. " Mr. Nicholls stood with difficulty to receive one of the biggest compensation pay outs from the Home Office for his nightmare years in prison.He was accused of killing Mrs. Heath during a robbery attempt after spending the day with her in a local club. The facial injuries were said to have been caused by Mr. Nicholls. But a review of the case by experts who examined Mrs. Heath's body found that the facial injuries weren't serious and were probably caused by the fall which followed the heart attack.During the murder inquiry, Mr. Nicholls originally said he hadn't been in the victim's house but later admitted he had lied. He told the court that he found Mrs. Heath lying at the foot of the stairs but didn't call emergency services. He was frightened of the police by whom he had been questioned about the death of another woman weeks earlier.The extreme joy of having cleared his name after 23 years is great for Mr. Nicholls but there must be a lot of bitterness that will never go away. "It's easy to say I should enjoy the rest of my life.However, that will be hard for my life when I had the best years of my life stolen away. "(1) Which statement about Mr. Nicholls may the author agree with?A. He is in poor health.B. He is greedy for money.C. He felt guilty while in prison.D. He used to break the law.(2) Why didn't Mr. Nicholls call emergency services for Mrs. Heath?A. He was too scared to respond.B. He was on bad terms with her.C. He supposed she had made the call.D. He feared being suspected by the police again.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Mr. Nicholls man ages to end his sufferings.B. Mr. Nicholls feels worried about his future life.C. Mr. Nicholls promises to live his life to the full.D. Mr. Nicholls looks forward to his best years.2、【来源】 2018年浙江高三上学期高考模拟(B篇)第24~27题10分2018年湖北黄石下陆区湖北省黄石第二中学高三一模第28~31题8分2017~2018学年5月山东枣庄薛城区枣庄市第八中学高二下学期月考(C篇)第8~11题8分2018年湖北咸宁咸安区湖北省鄂南高级中学高三一模第28~31题8分2018年湖北黄冈黄州区湖北省黄冈中学高三一模第28~31题8分Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in Cool Seal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt(沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma(哮喘)and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool."This is an urgent challenge, and it's much bigger than one person, " said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. "Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day."(1) Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.(2) What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C.

If you're considering bird ownership, the care requirements include providing good housing, nutritious food and keeping an eye on the bird's health.Choose the bird species with care.1It is very important to lean as much as you can about the species before deciding which bird you will choose.

ARaised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said. “I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.“I was seven when I met Mrs. Kelly. I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’,” said Wright, now 17.Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse.“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole, “Kelly said. “He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non-profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“We use horse as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing,” said Kelly, 66. “They learn that t hey have ability. They just have to unlock it.”“When you teach children to ride horses, they learn they are the center of their environment,” said Kelly, “Once they make the connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”1. Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?A. Because his mother couldn’t afford the fees.B. Because his parents got divorced.C. Because he behaved badly at school.D. Because he didn’t set a life goal.2. How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?A. She provided him with a home.B. She exposed him to the riding field.1C. She found him a better school.D. She encouraged him to learn science.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.B. Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.C. Horses are closely related to the environment.D. It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It takes a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.4. Which of the following probably has been discussed right before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.5. Not enough tourism will _____.A. cause the prices to rise and the income to fallB. lead to fewer tourist attractionsC. have more local people out of workD. ruin other parts of the country’s economy6.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the author doesn’t like the tourism to develop quicklyB. tourism can make a difference to the country’s economyC. local people don’t want to be disturbed by touristsD. too many support facilities will lead to jobs and money lossC2Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (起泡的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals---although soft drinks makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the cola had a uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground,” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some fiel d trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests,” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases,” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers,” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.7. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage ?A. Introduce an incident that happened in India.B. Warn people of the harmful effects of soft drinks.C. Suggest using Coca-Cola and Pepsi to kill pests.D. Announce a new discovery of some soft drinks.8. According to paragraph 2, the drinks can kill pests because_____.A. there is some pesticide left in themB. they are cheaper, sticky and fizzyC. they have all the elements that kill pestsD. they made pesticides more effective9. What does the underlined part “this practice” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. testing the mixtureB. selling more drinks in IndiaC. mixing the drinks with pesticidesD. attracting ants to eat the young pests10. The drink makers wouldn’t accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because_____.A. they thought it went against scienceB. they didn’t believe the farmers told the truthC. they feared it might bring harm to their businessD. they insisted there was no poison left in their products第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)3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。
