I love my fiancé（未婚夫）a lot but we are getting into a lot of arguments (25) ________ o ur wedding plans. I would prefer a small wedding, just our im mediate family and closest friends. I think it is such a special moment and I only want the people who are most important to be near us. I don’t want to be surrounded by people not really(26)_________ (care) about us. He wants the whole world to be there——the mail carrier, the baker, the butcher!!! My fiancé says a we dding day is (27)___________ (important) day in anyone’s life. He wants to share his joy with everyone.It’s not a question whether we can afford it although I do worr y about how much a wedding costs and I would rather save th e money for a house. I dislike (28) ________ (fight) but I just d on’t feel comfortable with his plans.——NervousDear Nervous,Planning weddings (29)________be very stressful. Each perso n has clear ideas about (30)________ his or her “perfect” wed ding would be. Each person has dreams and hopes for that d ay. Now it is (31)_______ good time to practice compromising(妥协) with your husband-to-be. Neither one of you should be unhappy on your wedding d ay. If you get your way, your husband will be unhappy. If he g ets his way, it sounds (32)_______ _________ you will be unha ppy.Why don’t the two of you talk about a compromise? Perhaps a medium-sized wedding? Perhaps two weddings——a small intimate ceremony and a large reception? You will hav e to compromise many times in your married life. You both ca n start now.——Sally(B)Since early times, people (33) ______ (fascinate) by the idea o f life existing somewhere else besides the Earth. Until recently , scientists believe that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning (34)______(locate) places where life could form. In 1997, they saw other evidence of pla nets near other stars like the sun. But scientists now think that life could be even (35) ______ (near) in our own solar system.One place scientists are studying closely is Europa, a moo n of Jupiter. Space probe（探索） has provided evidence (36) ______ Europa has a large o cean under its surface.

Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions (38) ______ (ne ed) for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals like carbo n, oxygen and nitrogen.

You may wonder (39) ______ li ght is also needed for life to form.Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But n ow places have been found on earth, (40) ______ are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface. And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there. So the lack of light in Europa’s sub-surface ocean doesn’t automatically rule out life forming.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.A. signalB. forceC. commercialD. functioningE. actuallyF. originalG. identifying H. track I. monitor J. disaster K. weightYou never see him, but they’re with you every time you fly. Th ey record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is 41 normally. Their a bility to withstand (承受) almost any 42 makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They’re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, th e black box is the best bet for 43 what went wrong. So whe n a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device’s 44 five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a traged y in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would45 basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. 46 flights by 1960. Early models often failed to with stand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely r edesigned and moved to the back of the plane—the area least affected by impact—from its 47 position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required th at the boxes, which were never 48 black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which is designed to track pilots’ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which is meant to 49 fuel levels, engine nois es and other operating functions that help investigators recon struct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge 50 and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When in deep water, th ey’re also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Exper ts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashe d near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, b ut statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximat ely 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Beginning of DramaThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in anci ent Greece. The one most widely accepted today is 51 on t he assumption that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginni ng, human beings 52 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 53 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures whi ch appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 54 rituals.55 , stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 56 , but t he stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argu e that those rituals contained the seed of theatre because mu sic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used.57 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a(n) 58 divisi on was usually made between the “area of acting” and the “ar ea in which an audience sits”. Besides, there were performers , and, since considerable importance was 59 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 6 0 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitat ed other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 61 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the S un—as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives w ere separated from 62 activities.Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human inte rest in 63 . According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread 64 through th e use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through th e assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A clos ely related theory traces theater to those dances that are prim arily gymnastic or that are 65 of animal movements and sounds.51. A .focused B. depended C. basedD. determined52. A. viewed B. employed C. imaginedD. dismissed53. A. acknowledge B. control C guaranteeD. possess54. A. usual B. direct C. convincing D . fixed55 A. Apparently B. Actually C. Eventually D. Naturally56. A. spread B. abandoned C. followedD. celebrated57. A. As a result B. In fact C. On the contraryD. In addition58. A. conscious B. concreteC clear D extra59. A. attached B. related C. committed D. exposed60. A. put up B. took up C. took onD. put on61. A. unexpected B. unpredicted C. preparedD. desired62. A. social B. political C. economicD. religious63. A. accounts B. story-telling C. descriptions D drama-writing64. A. at that time B. at a time C. at firstD. at once65. A. imitations B. demonstration C. presentation s D. exhibitionsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passag e is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. F or each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appear ance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making ? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattracti ve clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect peo ple unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the wa y a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In gener al, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect o n all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low self-respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by other s. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy pe ople are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior. They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because th ey believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may res pond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just sa ying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fo rtunately, people can overcome shyness with determination si nce shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is i mportant for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we u nderstand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.66. The first paragraph is mainly about___________.A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people67. According to the writer, self-awareness is___________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of shy peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characte ristic68. What is the shy people's reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel it is not true .C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.69. We can learn from the passage that shyness can _______ ____.A. block our chances for a successful lifeB. help us to live up to our full developmentC. enable us to understand ourselves betterD. have nothing to do with lack of self respectBRoughly half of college students will have some degree of d epression at some point during their time in school. Even mor e startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 c onsidered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to a n American College Health Association study released this sp ring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals th at produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fi ght depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exe rcise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depressio n. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sport s is not enough.Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ men tal health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down t he drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian Un iversity, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family m embers and friends from childhood and high school has beco me easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video c hat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist tha t it’s important to make friends in your new environment and b e involved in the college community, it’s also significant to kee p in touch with the people you knew before college.Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defen d you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep pa tterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental h ealth. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to lear ning and memory formation.70. According to the passage, physical activity __________.A. is regarded as the best way to fight depressionB. contributes to the release of endorphinsC. can’t help the seriously depressed studentsD. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize71. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________.A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of moneyB. students with mental health problems can’t get on well withothersC. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courageD. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psyc hological tests72. Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ______________.A. provides a way to avoid getting boredB. helps students stay in contact with othersC. offers students a way to make new friendsD. enables students to get involved in college life73. Which of the following can NOT help one reduce depressi on?A. Taking exercise regularly every week.B. Chatting with old friends with Skype.C. Turning to mental health experts for advice.D. Holding parties deep into the night to relax.CYou Are What You EatGenetic engineering is the scientific change of the geneticmaterial in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify spe cific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosome s （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organi sm, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional bre eding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same s pecies, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into orga nisms of different species．Wow--Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered（GE）foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased．Impr oved taste，shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. U nlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on g enetically engineered foods or on foods that contain geneticall y engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．The public is also concerned about the unknown health risk s. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predi ct possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body , it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover , due to the lack of labeling if allergies（过敏）develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them ．There is also a major moral question in many minds．For m any, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them b ecause it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently pro ducing one and a half times the amount of food needed to fee d the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many be lieve that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, y et we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentia lly harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these fo ods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．74. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different f rom genetic engineeringbecause ________________.A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same specie sB. traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC. traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD. traditional breeding is more scientific75. "The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates __________ ______.A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to cust omersB. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD. the US government is responsible for GE food76. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary becau se_____________.A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB. there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC. we're now producing more food than beforeD. customers will benefit from GE food77. What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A. Welcoming．B. Disapproving．C. Unconcerned．D. Optimistic．Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.We take it for granted that with memory we can remember mo st of things which happened in our life. But it is difficult to ima gine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions(感知), the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, whic h are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the ability to keep information avail able for later use. It not only includes “remembering”things lik e arithmetic(算术) or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat g ives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspici ous in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in so me physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting t o compare the memory storage capacity(容量) of a computer with that of a human being. The instant acc ess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “wor ds”—strings of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably rec ognizes the meaning of about 1000,000 words of English. Ho wever, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number o f faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solvin g intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s me mory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But whil e language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory cap acity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, s etting them apart from other animals.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N O MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. What can we say about “memory”?79. According to the writer, the storage capacity of a human being is ______________________.80. The advanced problem solving intelligence of human bein gs is based on the fact ______________.81. What makes human beings different from other animals a ccording to the passage?第II卷（共47分）I.

The Man shrugged helplessly. ―Close your eyes, Man,‖ the Cat said.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALast August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager‘s intended major, one located nea r a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. ―The safety issue is a big one,‖ says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn‘t alone in his worries.On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer —―That‘s not a problem here,‖ —Mahoney began to feel uneasy.―No crime whatsoever?‖ comments Mahoney today. ―I just don‘t buy it. ‖ Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. ―Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,‖ s ays David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. ―Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.‖But getting accurate information isn‘t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. ―The truth may not always be serious,‖ war n s S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc. , the nation‘s leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.56.

It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____A. receive too many visitorsB. mirror the rest of the nationC. hide the truth of campus crimeD. have too many watchdog groups58. The underlined word ―buy‖ in the third paragraph means _______A. mindB. admitC. believeD. expect59. We learn from the text that ―the honest ones‖ in the fourth paragraph most probab ly refers tocolleges _____.A. that are protected by campus securityB. that report campus crimes by lawC. that are free from campus crimeD. that enjoy very good publicity60. What is the text mainly about?A. Exact campus crime statisticsB. Crimes on or around campusesAs a teenager I was schooled in an elite (精英)school where I was given the idea that I was better than others and that achievement and winning were all important. At school I was fortunate to win enough to balance all the times I lost and I began to believe in this idea. I survived and thrived.After leaving high school and university and going out into the world I entered that real messy world where my progress was not measured by an end–of–term exam or by my achievements on a sports field. My life losses began to exceed my successes and I began to think that there must be more to life than winning.It wasn‘t until I became a parent that this thought became a strongly-held belief. I am the proud father of a seven-year-old girl, Naomi. Her best friends since she was an infant are two boys, Kean and Cyrus. They would play together 3 full days a week---one day in each child‘s home.Naomi and Kean have always been fast runners and very evenly matched too. Cyrus was slower to develop physically and was not as speedy as his two playmates, but he loved to run and play just as much as the other two.One day the three friends were at my house. Our family enjoyed a large house with a great running track. The kids were racing around and I was sitting in the living room as Naomi and Kean burst into the room, neck and neck and fell joyfully into the couch. Each bou nced up loudly proclaiming ―I‘m the first, I‘m the first‖. Several seconds passed before Cyrus appeared, with an earnest look on his face. He too fell, face first, into the soft couch and bounced to his feet, with total joy and celebration, ―I‘ m the third!‖ I believe we should also celebrate those that finish as the third in a race.61. What‘s the main idea of the text?A. Winning is not everything in life.B. Life is full of challengesC. One should learn to think in lifeD. No one can win all the time62. While studying in an elite school, the author held the belief that ________.A. one should not depend on his fortuneB. the chief goal of life is to winC. one must learn to give upD. one should not just focus on his academic achievement63. When he began to work, the author _________.A. changed his old belief immediatelyB. also made great achievementsC. met a lot of failures and disappointmentsD. began to regret his school days64. The reason why the author tells about the race of the three kids is that _____________A. it shows the spirit of sportsmanshipB. it shows the meaning of true friendshipC. it teaches the author how to be a better fatherD. it strengthens his new belief65. Which of the following BEST describes the author‘s at titude towards Cyrus?A. Pitiful.B. ConcernedC. AppreciativeD. DisappointedFor most people, Verona is the setting of one of the most famous love stories ever told — William Shakespeare‘s Romeo and Juliet, making it one of the most popular holiday destinations for lovers and romantics. Shakespeare said, ―There is no world outside these walls…‖ and tourists will indeed feel like they are lost inside another world when they enter the gates to the historic city of Verona.With beautiful red tiled（铺瓦的）rooftops against leafy green trees and the sparkling Adige River that flows through this UNESCO world heritage site, Verona is one of the most picturesque destinations in the country. Sadly though, much of the ancient architecture and ancient Roman monuments were ravaged by a powerful earthquake that rocked the city in 1117, which led to a massive Romanesque（罗马式的）rebuilding.Visit Juliet‘s house and rub her statue for good luck, walk across the Ponte Pietra Bridge to admire the views over the Adige River, visit the statue of famed poet Dante Alighieri in the Piazza dei Signori （绅士广场）, or marvel at the still functional Arena di V erona, an enormous Roman amphitheatre（圆形露天剧场）dating back 2,000 years and boasting the largest opera stage in the world. The best time to visit the Arena is during the lyrical season in the summer when operas take place inside theatre on pleasant summer nights.After a long day of enjoying the romance, history and splendor（壮观）of the city of Verona, climb the steps on the hi ll above the Roman Amphitheatre to the Castell San Pietro (St Peter‘s Castle) for spectacular views over the city — the perfect setting for a romantic sunset picnic.66. Shakespeare is mentioned in the first paragraph to show that______.A. people can v isit Shakespeare‘s house in V eronaB. visitors are easy to be attracted by VeronaC. Verona is most poets‘ favorite placeD. Verona is an old and quiet place67. We can infer from the second paragraph that______.A. many buildings in Verona are rela ted to Shakespeare‘s playsB. most ancient buildings in Verona were built by the RomansC. many buildings we see today in Verona were rebuiltD. the Romanesque buildings in Verona can resist strong earthquakes68. People rub Juliet‘s statue to______.A. be blessed with good luckB. show respect for herC. wish her good luckD. satisfy their curiosity69. The underlined word ―ravaged‖ in the passage most probably means______.A. decoratedB. destroyedC. builtD. protected70. What do we know about Arena di Verona from the third paragraph?A. It is where Juliet‘s statue is located.B. It can hold the most audience.C. It is the oldest theatre in the world.D. It is an ancient theatre that is still in use today.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with some teachers.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a ―mostly positive‖ effect on their students‘ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies ―do more to distract students than to help them academically‖. Many students think ―doing research‖ now means just doing a quick search on Google.Judy Buchanan is deputy director of the project and a co-author of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster.―Teachers really embrace these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting a nd engaging. And the goal is to really help them become creators of content, and not just sort of consumers.‖But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.Another problem, teachers say, is that the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work that has been done by others instead of using their own abilities.Title: Digital tools‘ influences on teenagersⅠ.

Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.The island nation of Tuvalu (图瓦卢) in the Pacific Ocean wants the bigger countries of the world to do something about climate change. And it‘s not just for the good of the planet: Tuvalu could be covered by the sea in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter.Tuvalu has no industry, burns little petrol, and creates less carbon pollution than a small town in America. However, this tiny place is on the front line of climate change. The increase in ocean temperatures and the rising sea level—all resulted from a warming atmosphere—are making trouble for Tuvalu.Sea level rise is the greatest problem. With an average elevation (高度) of 6 feet above sea level, Tuvalu doesn‘t have far to go. Tuvalu‘s highest elevation is 4.6 meters—15 feet—but most of it is no more than a meter above the sea. Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides (潮水), riding on the ever higher sea level, brings the Pacific waters over onto roads and into neighborhoods. Sometimes a high tide can flood roads and run across the whole land. You can never separate the sea from the land, so some natives warned visitors, ―You‘d better not run after dark, for you may fall into the sea..‖81. Where does Tuvalu lie? (no more than 4 words)82. What could happen to Tuvalu in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter? (no more than 7words)83. What is the greatest problem Tuvalu facing now? (no more than 3 words)84.

高中英语真题:2015届高三英语12月月考试题第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Hard as I tried to短文写作One possible version:As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”. It can’t be denied that good preparation is one of the essentials of success.The first two years of my junior middle school life went so smoothly and I got so good grades in every exam that I took it for granted that I was sure to be admitted by a key high school. Thus，in my junior three, I began totally loosening myself up and no longer focused on study. It is no accident that my academic performance declined sharply. Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again. However, it was too late to make full preparation then—I failed in the senior high school entrance examination.From my experience, I see that at no time should we ignore the importance of making good preparation, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.完成句子【评分原则】1、主要结构正确、用给定的英语词完整表达所给的汉语信息，给满分；2、未用给定词不给分；3、主要结构不正确不给分；4、主要结构正确，信息完整，一个或一个以上拼写错误扣0. 5分，不累加；5、主要结构正确，信息有遗漏扣0. 5分；6、主要结构正确，添加无关信息扣0. 5分;7、其它可以接受的可能答案酌情给分。

However, from my perspective, not all things are worth regretting. Only those things that you dare not attempt deserve regretting.Once, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our school, a grand ceremony was to be held. All my classmates were enthusiastic about it, hoping to make their own contributions. Gifted as I was in dancing, I didn’t dare to dance in front of a large audience, due to my shyness. When seeing their excellent performance on the stage, a strong sense of repentance flooded into my heart.Not until then did I realize how regretful I felt, for I even didn’t give myself a chance to try it. In the future, I will grasp every opportunity to do what I can do to avoid regretting.2015年湖北省七市高三年级三月调研考试听力录音稿（音乐30秒）这是2015年湖北省七市高三年级三月调研考试英语科听力部分。

AWhat’s best to read this year?Secrets I Know(Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above. The colors of Zakimi’s pencil drawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora.

It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.The Giant Jumperee(Dinal Books, ages 3-5)The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do.
