make you get used to using a ball and glove．But anyAmerican kid will teach you it's much more than that．Playing catch is a time for kids to（18） with your father．It's a time when there's （19） to worry about except catching a ball．It's a time when words move asseamlessly（准确不误地） as the ball itself，back and forth，easy and relaxing．It's an excuse to（20） time together．Because baseball is an American sport，and a big part of being American，playing catch is kind of an all﹣American dad activity．In the suburbs（郊区），most people have backyards﹣not（21） enough to play baseball in，but just big enough for a game of catch．Those who have no（22）can play in the street or in the park．When adults are asked to talk about the good（23）of their dads，many of them will say something about playing catch．Why？Probably because dads are usually very （24）．A catch game is a time that is only for one thing．This is a time when a kid has her dad's（25）．There is no work，no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you．For the time that it takes to play a game of catch，your dad is all yours．16．A．interesting B．boring C．amazing D．exciting 17．A．basketball B．baseball C．football D．volleyball 18．A．fight

1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，"If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech，then why not go for it？"That was the best advice I received，and I followed it．In order to succeed，you must first be willing to fail﹣and you must have the courage to go for it anyway．Make your own luckLuck plays a part in success．The harder you work，the luckier you get．Whatever you choose to do，even if it's not the job of your dreams，always work hard at it．Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night．Hard work creates chances．Never stop learningThe most powerful word in English language is"why"．There is nothing so powerful as an open，inquiring mind（探究精神）．Whatever field you choose for starting a business﹣be a lifelong student．Give backYou are responsible for your success and failure，but you only succeed if you share the reward with others．My first donation was a 5check to my alma mater （母校）．And while the checks （支票）may be bigger today，they come with the same spirit．You don't have to be wealthy to give back．You can give back by giving your time and talents．36．In this passage，Michael Bloomberg is the name of a ．A．newspaperB．placeC．companyD．person37．What did the writer

you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea ofeye﹣recognition．In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile!41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in ．A．America and ChinaB．Spain and JapanC．Britain and TurkeyD．Italy and German42．According to the steps in Paragraph 3，which picture

people．45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．All the eye﹣recognition programs can be up to 94% correct．B．In Britain，91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition．C．Everyone's eyes are different，even twins have different eyes．D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct．第二节阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．46．March 20th is

From then on, so my injured sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down o r bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.26. The word carefree in the first line probably means “__________” in Chinese.A.无忧无虑的B. 无拘无束的C. 小心翼翼的D. 与众不同的27. Why did the writer imagine that everyone looked down on her?A. She felt bad about her appearance.B. She found it hard to act as a monster.C. Kids refused to play games with her.D. People always asked her embarrassing questions.28.Why did the writer’s mum say “Hold your head up high” to her?A. To tell her to be careful.B. To help her hide the shame.C. To stop her from getting hurt.D. To make her more confident.29. From the story, we can know that__________.A. the writer understood the saying very well as a child.B. the writer felt like everyone else in high school.C. the writer is living with a warm and brave heart now.D. the writer has deep compassion for other all her life.30. The passage is mainly about__________.A. what the writer experienced when she was 15.B. what the writer did to show th anks for mum’s gift.C. how the writer changed herself with mum’s love.D. the writer has become confident with her great efforts.BThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.31. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.A. a red box is heavier than a white oneB. a color has weight in one’s mindC. white paper is lighter than red paperD. you can know the weight of a color by holding it32. Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A. Because people can sense the light from colors.B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.33. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then34. It can be implied from the text that __________.A. colors have orders in weightB. colors can change the weight of an objectC. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health35.

Suddenly, a few paint brushes fell out of his bag. 48 To Ben’s surprise, the man wrote Banks on a picture and gave it to him. “Do you know who Robin Banks is?” asked the man. Ben said no, and then the man told him, “This will be worth about ￡20,000.

2016年广州市高三第一次模拟考试英语第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to each event.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the event location.In 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy”along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.”It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned”in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users’personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn —at least for now. Thedeal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分)Vacations are important.

A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth （来回地）. It seems a little and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands. In fact, playing catch is part of practice —to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time fo r kids to with your father. It’s a time when there’s to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as seamlessly （准确不误地） as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to time together.Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs （郊区）, most people have backyards — not enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have试卷第2页，共12页no can play in the street or in the park.When adults are asked to talk about the good of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why?

The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out试卷第4页，共12页of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition （眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris （虹膜）, which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction （采集）. Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye -recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye.
