But if we had kept a book and had written in it what we did each day, weshould be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in china 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it had now been written down. It is not m exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.41. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. "Remembered history", compared with written history, is less reliable(可靠的).B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past.D. Where there are no written records of the past, there is no history.42. Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?A. There was nothing worth being written down at that time.B. People there had not known how to write in those days.C. The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire.D. People there ignored the importance of keeping a record.43. According to the author, which of the following is not 'remembered history'?A. History based on a person's imagination.B. Stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth.C. Songs and dances about important events in the past.D. Spoken stories about the past.44. 'Remembered history' is regarded as valuable only when__________.A. it is written downB. it proves to be trueC. no written account is availableD. people are interested in it45. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our pastthan we do now if our ancestors had___________.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesBAristotle said it was the reward of an active life lived with sweet reason. Sigmund Freud said itwas mostly a matter of work and love. Charles Shultz, the cartoonist-philosopher, claimed it was really a warm puppy. So just what is the thing called happiness? For centuries, people were too busy pursuing it to spend much time analyzing it. Now a pioneering band of researchers has finally bagged the query—or at least found its measures. And their answer to the age-old mystery is that it all depends.Happiness, that is, depends on what makes you feel happy, which is why psychologists(心理学家)often call it "subjective(主观的 ) well-being". But from studies of various age and population groups inthe United States and abroad, they have reached some objective( 客观的) conclusions on the makingof happiness. What comes up at the top of the charts is not, as many might expect, success, youth,good looks or any of those invisible assets. The clear winner is relationships. Close ones. Followed by ahappy marriage. Next comes religious faith, of almost of any kind. "Supportive, intimate connectionswith other people seem very i mportant “, says psychologist David Myers, whose book The Pursuit ofHappiness is one of the cluster of recent publications in the field.46. The underlined phrase "well-being" in the passage probably means__________.A. close relationshipB. full of hopeC. personal comfortD. success47. The overall tone( 口吻) of this passage is__________.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. optimistic(乐观的)D. cynical (嘲弄的)CIf you stay in an Indian home, bring something from your home country as a gift.It would be muchappreciated. But find out the social position and religion of your hosts before you choose a gift. Abottle of foreign whisky would be the perfect gift for some, and not at all appropriate for others. If youknow the people you are going to stay with, it is a good idea to ask them what they would like. Somethings are just not available in India.It is not necessary to bring a gift when you are invited to dinner. After all, you are the honouredguest. Until recently, it would have been almost insulting to bring sweets or a bottle of wine. But this isnot true today. Nowadays it is a custom which is becoming popular with many Indians. Fruit, flowersor a box of sweets are perfect gifts on such occasions, and will offend(冒犯) no one.In all classes of society, both urban and rural, food is only taken to the mouth with the right hand.This is the most important part of the manners of eating in India. Once you have started eating, andhave food in your right hand, it is all right to serve yourself, using the serving spoon with the left hand.When you watch Indians eat you will see that they keep their left hand on their lap.If you are stuck for a conversation topic in India, talk about families. Another useful subject to startwith is cricket. But once you get to know a person better, any topic is acceptable. Indians love to talkabout politics and religion. They enjoy opinionated discussions and not just polite conversations.Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk.48. If you stay with an Indian family,___________.A. you are expected to take a giftB. you should take flowersC. you are not expected to take a giftD. take a souvenir from your country49. If you are invited for a meal at an Indian home, __________.A. you should offer to pay for your foodB. you will offend your hosts if you take anythingC. it is fashionable to take flowers or sweetsD. it is traditional to take a dish50. Indians love interesting discussions but they________.A. only talk about family mattersB. avoid religion and politicsC. don't like talking about themselvesD. don' t appreciate polite conversation51. The sentence "Some things are just not available" in the first paragraph meansA. You can buy these things in IndiaB. They don't make these things in IndiaC. They have never seen these thingsD. You can't get these things in IndiaDMary Cochran was out of the rooms where she lived with her father, Doctor Lester Cochran, atseven o'clock on a Sunday evening. It was June of the year nineteen hundred and eight, and Mary was eighteen years old. She walked along Tremont to Main Street and across the railroad tracks to Upper Main, lined with small shops and shabby houses, a rather quiet cheerless place on Sundays when there were few people about. She had told her father she was going to church but did not intend anything of the kind. She didn't know what she wanted to do. "I'll get off by myself and think", she told herself as she walked slowly along. The night, she thought, promised to be fine to be spent sitting in a church and hearing a man talk of things that had clearly nothing to do with her own problem. Her own affairs were approaching(almost reaching) a crisis(危机), and it was time for her to begin thinking seriously of her future.The thoughtful serious state of mind which Mary found herself had been made arise in her by aconversation she had with her father on the evening before. Without any preliminary (有准备的 ) talkand quite suddenly he had told her that he was suffering from heart disease and might die at anymoment. He had made the announcement as they stood together in his office, behind which were therooms in which the father and the daughter lived.52. What did Mary Cochran want to do that night? She decided__________.A. to walk slowlyB. not to think about the problemC. to talk over the problem with her fatherD. not to go to church53. What was the cause of Mary's serious state of mind?A. Concern about her future.B. Her talk with his father.C. Worry about her sudden heart attack.D. The thought of going to church.54. Where did Mary live?A. In the same building as her father's office.B. In a shabby house near her father's office.C. Near the church along the main street.D. In a small shop across the railroad tracks.55. What was Dr Cochran's condition?A. He had a serious heartbreak.B. He had suffered from her affairs.C. He had a deadly heart disease.D. He had made an announcement.56. According to the passage, Which of the following statement is true?A. Mary lived along with her father.B. Mary believed in the future.C. Mary's father wanted her to go to church.D. Mary's father didn't like his daughter.EIt's not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of "ShenzhouV", or "Divine ship/ vessel V". There are also lexicographers(字典编纂者 ), or dictionary compilers.The flight of the spacecraft recently might help put .some new words into orbit.One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts. It is a combination of the Chinese pinyin "taikong", meaning space, and the English "astronaut", from classical Greek: "star sailor/navigator", for people who was going into space as a career.In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15, "taikonaut" was used as a proper noun. Forexample:The long March 2F rocket carrying "taikonaut" Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over theGobi desert at 9 a.m. and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V—"divine ship" in Chinese --carried a single"taikonaut" named Yang Liwei, 38, following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.The word "taikonaut" is not a newly coined term. It first emerged in November, 1999, when Chinalaunched its first unmanned "Shenzhou 1" spacecraft.At that time, .some English news media predicted(推测) that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word "taikonaut" for the Chinese astronauts. It was then borrowed by the German media.But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary andCambridge Advanced English Learner's Dictionary.However, the launch of the "Shenzhou V" will most likely help boost its status since there isalready a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union) is called a "cosmonaut", from the Russian"kosmonaut". The word was derived from classical Greek. "kosmonaut" (universal) and "nautes".One might argue that "cosmonaut" is a Russian variation on the earlier word astronaut .On March 14, 1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into spaceon-board, a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as morecountries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists callan astronaut from India or Africa? We' 11 have to wait to see.57. Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?A. Why to Create the Word "Astronaut"?B. Why to Make a Lot of Variations for "Taikonaut"?C. How to Tell a “Taikonaut “ from an Astronaut?D. How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?58. Which is the right statement in the following sentence?A. The word "taikonaut" was born with the launch of "Shenzhou V" spacecraft.B. Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts.C. The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word "taikonaut".D. Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the "Shenzhou V"spacecraft.59 From the writer's point of view', __________ .A. lexicographers or dictionary compilers have aim done a lot of things to help launch Shenzhou V"B. the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonautC. the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usually have something to do with the name(s) of their countriesD. the reason why there will be more variations for the word astronauts is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space60. What does the underlined word "coinage" mean in the passage?A. System of coins in use.B. Invention of word.C. New meaning of a word.D. Discovery of an old word.第二节阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, re peating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes Iwould give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.21. The author took the job to teach writing because _____.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher22. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.23. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.24. The author chose the composition topic probably because _____.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topic【解题导语】本文主要描述了“我”对自己第一堂课的准备以及与自己想象中完全不同的第一堂课的实际情形。

After all, to run a marathon, you have at run 26.2 miles by foot! Think about it this way: 26. 2 miles is the same as running the length of a football field more than460 times. It takes most people four or five hours to finish.By the age of 30, Lea Tambellini had run more than five marathons and had no plans to stop. She had always been an athlete. When she was in high school, she swam on her school's swim team and ran to stay healthy and active. Her mom and dad ran marathons, and when she was 22, they helped her train for her first marathon.Lea's first marathon took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was called "The Flying Pig". "I was very nervous" she said, "but I had my mom there, so that helped. "Running the race was hard, but the hardest part was when she ran past a cookie factory and smelled cookies at mile 18."I just wanted to be done, "she said. "TAL#NBSP I was spent, but my mom kept me going. It was already her 15th marathon."Today, thousands of people run marathons every year. Runners train for months to get ready. 'To prepare for one of the marathons, Lea ran four to five times every week. On weekdays, she completed shorter runs, five or six miles at most. But on the weekends she ran long distances-13 miles, 15 miles, and 20 miles!"I don't mind training because I get excited about working toward something. And I love running with a group of friends and working toward the goal together. But it does take a lot of time."Running a marathon is a great achievement. "It's a great feeling of accomplishment and nothing feels as wonderful as reaching my goal when I cross the finish line, " Lea explained."I can't wait for the next one!"(1) What contributed to Lea becoming a marathon runner?A. Her great patience and life ambition to be a successful athlete.B. Her strong interest in swimming and long-distance running.C. Her athletic experience and her parents' guidance.D. Her love for running with friends and achieving a goal together.(2) What does Lea mean by saying "I was spent" in Paragraph 3?A. I was extremely exhausted.B. I felt like quitting my sporting career.C. I was feeling increasingly nervous.D. I was overcome by hunger.(3) How did Lea's feeling of running a marathon change over they ears?A. From curiosity to enthusiasm.B. From nervousness to excitement.C. From thrill to boredom.D. From delight to disappointment.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~27题10分2018年浙江绍兴柯桥区高三二模第27~30题10分(每题2.5分)Kids naturally need unstructured time to play, to discover their own interests, to goof around（混时间）, or to try things out. Some kids in our society have almost no time left to themselves, often because their parents are overscheduled themselves, or their parents are so concerned about kids' achievements that the kids are constantly doing some structured activities. Some parents want their kids to constantly be working on their personal portfolios（文件包） so they can get into college, prep school or preschool. But if kids don't have any down time, they'll burn out quickly.You'd be amazed at how much kids mature, learn and improve when they are given time to just be. Kids need to learn what it is like to be bored and how to entertain themselves. They need time to play with all of those presents they just got from the holiday. They need to make mistakes on their own, discover new ways to do things and nurture their interests and talents. This is called learning.In our house, eating, sleeping mostly）, and a few chores and schoolwork are fairly structured. There are occasional errands and playdates, appointments and scout meetings. But most days, our kids have several hours in which they choose what to do. We guide them toward positive ways to spend time, but for the most part, they get to choose. I think this is a healthy thing.I won't go so far as to say that parents who overschedule their kids are stealing their kids' childhoods. I'm sure those kids are getting to do some great things that not every other kid gets to do. But the kids are missing out on a vital piece of childhood: running amok （横冲直撞）, not necessarily running all over town on their own, but having time that is theirs, that they get to organize and fill. Kids need to learn how to make choices and learn about the bad and good consequences that come along with their choices.(1) Why are the kids constantly doing some structured activities?A. They like structured activities very much.B. Their parents expect them to achieve more.C. Their parents are worried about their safety.D. Structured activities suit children's interests.(2) Which of the following sayings can convey the closest meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A. No pains, no gains.B. Look before you leap.C. Honesty is the best policy.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(3) In the writer's opinion, the kids.A. should be guided to learnB. should do some great thingsC. should have time that is theirsD. should be allowed to run all over town(4) The main purpose of the passage is to.A. concern the healthy growth of kidsB. provide evidence of how kids liveC. criticize parents on unwise parentingD. give a lecture on kids' time management3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分Do we organize our thoughts in different ways because of the culture we belong to? If it is so, how can we describe those differences?The idea of different "cultural thought patterns" was first put forward by an American professor, Robert Kaplan, in the 1960s. He had been looking at the writing style of non-native students at his university in California. He found that the writing style changed systematically, according to the cultural origins of the students.For example, in his opinion, native speakers of English usually went "straight to the point" However, speakers of Semitic languages（such as Arabic and He brew）kept back tracking, and then returned to the point. Speakers of oriental languages （such as Chinese）were likely to approach the topic only little by little, as if they were moving around it in circled. Speakers of Romance languages（such as French and Spanish）were likely to stay away from the point, making it harder for readers to follow. Speakers of slap languages（such as Russian）often included ideas which didn't seem to be connected in any way to the development of the article.This view attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was expressed. People said it was not based on enough evidence at all, and it was TAL#NBSP biased because it was in supports English（which seemed to offer the "most useful" way of presenting the point of view）. Russian students, in particular, did not agree with the idea Kaplan had of them.But Kaplan's work at least reminded us that people from different cultural backgrounds do have different ways of presenting ideas, or telling stories, and that, even if these differences are difficult, and perhaps impossible to sort out, just knowing that they exist can help us to understand and appreciate each other better.(1) What is the author' s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To present his own idea.B. To introduce Robert Kaplan.C. To draw readers to the topic.D. To provide examples of the topic.(2) What does the underlined word "biased" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Wrong.B. Usual.C. Direct.D. Humorous.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Thinking across culturesB. Skills for speaking wellC. Reading between linesD. Differences in cultures.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟第31~35题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。

浙江省2021年英语高考模拟卷（2）一、阅读理解（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）(共3题；共25分) 1．（7.5分）阅读理解Seeds on IceClose to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture.In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow.Yet at the end of a130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity's most precious treasure,the largest and most diverse(多样的) seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.A quiet rescue mission is under way.With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault(地窖)represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation(贮藏)of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties.This is a seed collection,but more importantly,it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault.In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems,enveloped in below—zero temperatures,and surrounded by tons of rock,hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress.Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain,seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years,or longer.Seeds of some are capable of retaining(保留)their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea,and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it.But back in2004,when the Seed Vault was proposed,it was viewed as a crazy，impractical,and expensive idea.We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee(保证).But we were tired,fed up,and frankly scared of the steady,greater losses of crop diversity.The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change.If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost,this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment(责任)—about what can be done if countries cometogether and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant,long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be.（1）（2.5分）According to the passage,the Seed Vault is___________.A．a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayedB．a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered cropsC．a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agricultureD．a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops（2）（2.5分）The underlined word"viable"in Paragraph3probably means________. A．mature B．clean C．alive D．valuable（3）（2.5分）Paragraph3mainly tells us__________.A．how the seeds are preserved B．where people keep the seedsC．why the seeds are protected D．what people do to study the seeds（4）（1分）We can know from the passage that_________.A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate changeB．most countries took part in rescuing the seed varietiesC．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversityD．many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise2．（7.5分）阅读理解Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas,you could soon be able to decide what you flix,the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards,is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions.Some of the storylines will be simple and linear,like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with.For example,viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang(黑帮)or not.The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown,instead of having her relationship with the divorcee(离婚者)blocked by the Establishment.Other storylines will be much more complex,allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.A source said,"We're doing work on branch narratives(叙事)so you are actually making choices as you watch.All the content will be there,and then people will have to get through it in different ways.We'll seehow it plays out.It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.For creators,it's a new field."Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments(片段)in advance,letting viewers choose which route to take through the flix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year,based on an established character.If they are successful,it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at flix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows,saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix,and it is challenging traditional broadcasters.Earlier this year,BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right,rather than a catch-up service.（1）（2.5分）How will viewers connect plot points?A．By using their TV remotes.B．By taking part in TV programs.C．By interacting with actors or actresses.D．By participating in filming plot segments.（2）（2.5分）Why will Netflix run choose-your-own-adventure shows for children?A．To attempt to create another hit show.B．To compete with traditional broadcasters.C．To attract as many children viewers as possible.D．To test whether their creative ideas are successful.（3）（2.5分）What's Reed Hastings'attitude to interactive shows?A．Confident.B．Doubtful.C．Negative.D．Worried.（4）（1分）What's the author's purpose of writing this text?A．To advertise for Netflix company.B．To recommend some English hit shows.C．To predict future development in filming.D．To introduce the latest technology in TV

work its magic.The new technologycould advance the development of3D on mobile devices,too.Bioethics Panel Gives Yellow Light to Anthrax Vaccine Trial in ChildrenA U.S.bioethics committee has said that the country may consider testing the anthrax vaccine in children.The panel advises that the vaccine be tested in progressively younger age groups and includes the caveat(警告)that testing should only take place if risks are"minimal."Evolution via RoadkillWe usually think of evolution happening over thousands or millions of years,but it can be surprisingly speedy—literally.In

risk for cancer?What about a fatal heart condition?A group of genetics experts,along with the influential American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics,have recommended that anyone whose genome is sequenced for any medical reason must be told about their genetic susceptibility to serious health problems,regardless of whether they want to know.Congress Completes Work on2013Spending BillThis

sequester and its$85billion cut in discretionary spending.The bill throws NASA's planetary programs a lifeline and gives the National Science Foundation a bit of a boost,but the National Institutes of Health's funding stays flat at2012levels—bad news for biomedical research.Making Moonshine Safe to DrinkHome-brew drinkers in developing countries often risk blindness or even death from methanol poisoning when they drink.Now,scientists have made a reusable wireless chip that can analyze a drink's methanol content and warn users of any danger.In2years,they hope to develop a product that can

2021年浙江省高考英语模拟试卷（二）一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AAll of us in Monte Vista Christian Schoolknow we'll one day have graduation photos for the yearbook taken. As the time approaches, the girls start to have a discussion about what they'll wear and where to take the photos, while the boys, by comparison, hardly talk about it. As for me, I arranged for my photos to be taken by the sea.When I arrived there, I met my photographer, Annie. She asked me to make some poses and I followed her advice. After that, I asked if she could make me look taller by takings photo in a different way, since I'm less than 1.6 meters tall. To my astonishment she responded, "I will make no attempt to make you look like someone you're not. You look good in your own way." She added that she wouldn't try to edit the photos either.I was shocked by what she said. Girls always desire to look perfect by using different visual angles. When you go to a photo studio,photographers always try to hide your imperfections by telling you to stand in a certain way. And picture editors can easily transform your look by making you appear any you want to. However, that's not the case here. Seeing I was confused,Annie explained, "Everyone has his uniqueness. You need to admire your own beauty. You cannot live in a world of artificial photos."It was the first time that I had met a photographer who doesn't polish photos at all. After the shoot, I saw the photos - they are truly special and natural. But what's even more special are Annie's words, which will always stay in my heart.1.Why did the students want to have their photos taken？______A. Because they themselves couldn't make perfect poses.B. To make them look more beautiful in the photos.C. Because of a book published annually by the graduating class.D. Because they will graduate soon.2.How did the author's attitude towards the photographer, Annie change？______A. From being angry to being shocked.B. From being shocked to being disapproval.C. From being angry to being admirable.D. From being shocked to being approval.3.According to this passage, which of the followings can be predicted？______A. The author will have her photos taken by Annie only.B. The author will never hide her imperfections in her photos.C. The author will have her photos taken in a natural way.D. The author will have her photos taken in a special way.BIncreasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from internet pharmacies. Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, smoking, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a fatal game. Every day, more than six million Americans turn to internet for medical answers---and most of them aren't nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet&American life Project found that 72% of those surveyed believe all of most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn't. Look up "headache," and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as "high quality." Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the internet.The problem is most people don't know the safe way to surf the web. "they use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that's risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative, so it's hard to know if what you're reading is reasonable or not." Says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.4.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they ______ .A. find medical devices easy to operateB. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctorsC. are afraid to face the truth of their healthD. are afraid to misuse their health insurance5.According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______ .A. more than 6 million Americans distrust doctorsB. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profitC. Only 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high qualityD. 72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts6.Which of the following is the author's main argument？______A. it's cheap to self-treat your own diseaseB. it's embarrassing to discuss your bad habitsC. it's reasonable to put up a medical websiteD. it's risky to be your own doctor.CA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10，among other questions.The researchers found that young adults （age 18 to 39）routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults （age 40 to 64）more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio （比率）of disability and death for the study period."We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade," wrote Frieder ng, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future."Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions （预防措施），" the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear."We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic," the authors concluded.7.According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future lifesatisfaction？______A. Optimistic adults.B. Middle-aged adults.C. Adults in poor health.D. Adults of lower income.8.Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______ .A. to fully enjoy their present lifeB. to estimate their contribution accuratelyC. to take measures against potential risksD. to value health more highly than wealth9.How do people of higher income see their future？______A. They will earn less money.B. They will become pessimistic.C. They will suffer mental illness.D. They will have less time to enjoy life.10.What is the clear conclusion of the study？______A. Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B. Good financial condition leads to good health.C. Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Endangered species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct.（1）______ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of theearth very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. （2）______ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals' homes and food supplies.（3）______ Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.（4）______ We should take care not to pollute natural areas,and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals' body parts. Governments canhelp,too,by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals,which they later release into the wild. （5）______ .A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.B. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.C. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.D. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.E. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species？F. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.G. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.11. A. A B.

Some newspapers focus(集中) on local or national affaires, some on international and economic matters while others are less serious and aim to entertain with more human interest stories.Sometimes particular stories ―sell‖ newspapers. In America and Europe, ordinary people seem to be fascinated by the lives of the remaining royal families, pop stars and film stars. These people really have two lives, a public life and a private life. Some reporters can be too interested in getting a good story and try to take photographs of famous people in their private lives which can then get their newspaper into trouble if they get printed.There was a recent case when a reporter climbed a tree and took a photograph over a high wall of an Alganian Princess in a swimming pool without her knowing. She didn’t mind being photographed on public occasions but she objected to being photographed while she was spending private time with her personal friends—and especially in a swimming pool.The photograph was in the newspaper the next day—―The Alganian Princess having a good time in the embassy pool with her friends‖—and all hell broke loose. The editor of The BEACON (the newspaper that had printed the photograph) immediately received a strongly worded letter of complaint from the Royal Palace press office saying that the reporter had been ―interfering(干涉) in her private life‖ and that ―something would be done about this‖. Of course the damage had already been done but the newspaper must have sold a lot of extra copies because of the photograph. All the editor could do was to print an apology on the front page to the Princess and hope that it would be accepted and that he wouldn’t lose his job.56. Ordinary people in America and Europe seem to be most interested in _____.A. photos of famous peopleB. private lives of famous peopleC. important happenings in the worldD. less serious newspapers57. What was the purpose of the reporter to photograph the Princess?A. To win himself fame.B. To increase the sales of his newspaper.C. To satisfy the public interest.D. To make fun of the Princess.58. What happened after the Princess’ photograph was printed in the newspaper?A. The editor lost his job.B. The newspaper office was closed.C. The reporter was dismissed.D. The newspaper got into trouble.BPublic goods are those commodities(商品) from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded(排除). Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits(利益) of these commodities, and one person’s use does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else’s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as few as one might expect. A flood control dam is public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation(航行). Once a lighthouse is built, no ship from any country can be effectively excluded from the use of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures(军费) or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy talk to determine the social costs and social benefits related with public goods. There is no effective way of charging drivers for looking at highway sighs, sailors for watching lighthouse, and citizens for the safety provided to them through national defense.59. What do you think is the best topic of this passage?A. Effective work for safer navigation.B. The use of the marketplace.C. A special group of commodities.D. The benefits of reducing taxes.60. Which of the following would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage?A. A taxiB. A bridgeC. A fire truckD. A stoplight61. The underlined word ―holds‖ can best be replaced by which of the following?A. hasB. isC. catchesD. carriesCOne answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口). The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the seabed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-meter high outer wall. The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混凝土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake. The water inside this man-made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more buildings: a hospital, two theaters, a museum, an art exhibition hall and church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.62. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?A. The city was to be designed together with a harbor.B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.C. The buildings of the city would rest on a floating island.D. The people would live in tall buildings surrounded by a wall.63. How would fresh water be supplied to the city?A. By treating sea water.B. By getting it from the surrounding islands.C. By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.D. By transporting it from the mainland.64. The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _____.A. there is not enough space for building cities on landB. land transportation has become increasingly difficultC. there are too many people on landD. present cities are heavily polluted by cars65. The purpose of the writer is _____.A. to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at seaB. to give a description of a new-type cityC. to draw people’s attention to the problem of air pollutionD. to introduce a new way of building harbor-citiesDWhen a customer finds that what he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer promises, the first step is to give the warranty(单据), or any other record which might help, to the store where he or she bought the thing. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various methods the customer may use to show their dissatisfaction.A simple and common method used by many customers is to complain(投诉) directly to the store manager. In general, the ―higher up‖ the customer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in customer’s favor, thinking what he or she complains is just.Customers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the customer can show what is wrong with the thing he or she bought in question. If this cannot be done, the customer will succeed best by giving clear information as to what is wrong, rather than by general statement(陈述). For example, ―The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one i s unclear.‖ is better than ―This stereo(立体声音响) does not work.‖ The store manager may advise the customer to write to the producer. If so, the customer should do this, expressing the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the customer can go a step farther. He or she can threaten(声言) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization in charge of protecting customers’ rights.66. When a customer finds that what he or she bought has a fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _____.A. complain personally to the managerB. threaten to take the matter to courtC. write a firm latter of complaint to the storeD. offer some written proof(证据) of what he or she bought to the store67. If a customer wants a quick settlement of his or her problem, it’s better to complain to _____.A. the store managerB. a shop assistantC. the producerD. a public organization68. The most effective complaint can be made by _____.A. showing the faulty thing to the producerB. explaining exactly what is wrong with the thingC. saying firmly that the thing is of poor qualityD. asking politely to change the thing69. The underlined phrase ―live up to‖ in the first paragraph means _____.A. meet the standard ofB. realize the purpose ofC. complete the demands ofD. keep the promise of70. The passage tells us _____.A. how to settle a customer’s complaint about a faulty thingB. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty thi ngC. how to prevent buying a faulty thingD. how to deal with complaints from customersEInformation from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) obviously proves the theory that the burning 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric(大气的) greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s at mosphere, warms its surface, and becomes heat radiation(辐射) that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft has collected Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom so that NASA’s scientists are able to prove the exact amount of sunlight received at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere, temperature, and radioactive heating foresee Venus’ surface temperature very exactly. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a thin atmosphere like Earth’s, but Venus’ atmosphere is made up of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere receives much more heat radiation than the Earth does. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible bad effects on Earth’s agricultur e and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.71. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?A. A New Theory.B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures.C. The Journey of Pioneer Spacecraft.D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus.72. According to the passage, what happens to heat radiation on Venus?A. It disappears at the planet’s surface.B. It is received by the atmosphere.C. It creates energy.D. It is changed into other kinds of energy.73. According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?A. It contains much more carbon dioxide.B. It holds much less water.C. It is four percent thinner.D. It receives less heat radiation.74. From the passage it can be considered that the burning of fuels on Earth may cause _____.A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the atmosphere to become thinnerD. the planet’s temperature to change75. According to the passage, information from the Venus study can be used to _____.A. foresee changes in the planet’s orbitB. foresee future agricultural problems on EarthC. test the efficiency(效率) of a spacecraftD. test a theory about more efficient greenhouse五、阅读表达Pollution is a growing problem that is facing the international community, but even the actions that we take can make a difference. Littering is creating environmental problems all over the world and is often created by careless individuals. If we guard our actions against careless littering we can ensure a better world for everyone.Littering is a severe problem in many countries around the world. For example, the African city of Kampala, the capitol of Uganda, is suffering from the consequenc es of littering. For many years the city’s poor didn’t have a proper way to dispose of trash, so garbage filled the streets. Over the years much of the plastic garbage would slowly be pushed into the ground. This plastic litter doesn’t allow rain water to seep into the ground and has caused flooding. In many of Kampala’s poor neighborhoods whenever it rains people’s homes become flooded with water. This water is often dirty and has allowed diseases to spread. This flooding has become so bad that the Ugandan government has banned plastic bags in the entire country to stop the littering.Trash often finds its way into the water. Today the world’s oceans are believed to have millions of tons of trash floating around in them. This creates a problem for wildlife because they may accidentally eat the trash and die from it. Scientists have found on very remote islands baby birds that have died because their stomachs were full of trash. Fish often get tangled in plastic and will also die. Our actions in our own countries affect the most remote parts of the planet.We can all be part of the solution to stop this pollution, just by preventing careless littering. If you need to throw something away, don’t toss it over your shoulder —find a trash can. If you see a friend littering tell them not to. By making this small change we can create a better world for all.81. What does the author say is the cause of littering?

模拟考试二第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35 分）第一节（共10 小题；每题 2.5 分，满分25 分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ A 、B、C 和 D ）中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡大将该选项涂黑。

AHere's another reason to get off the couch and start working up a sweat.Time the exercise right and youcould improve your ability to remember something new.That's the finding of a new study.But it all comes down to timing.To lock up the new information,start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new information.That's according to researchers at an institute on brain,cognition （认知） and behavior.It's at Radboud University's Medical Center,in Nijmegen,the Netherlands.Eelco van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 people.Each learned the location of 90 objectson a computer screen.Afterwards,some of the members watched relaxing nature videos.Others worked up asweat on body-building bikes,changing between hard and easy riding for 35 minutes.Their workouts came eithersoon after the cram session（考前突击复习） or four hours later.Two days later they were tested again,Those who remembered the objects' sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning before riding.Among those who remembered sites correctly,the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for memory.It's known as the hippocampus （海马区） .The consistent activity here suggests that the memories had been strong,the scientists say.Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memo magic.They do,however,have a guess. Aerobic exercise leads to me creation of several important chemicals in the brain.One is a protein known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help convey messages between nerve cells.These two chemicals may help strengthen memories by linking brain cells,the researchers suspect.21.The best way to lock up the new information is.A.to get off the couch soon after their learningB.to do sports for four hours and work up a sweatC.to see some nature videos on a computer screenD.to do sports four hours after taking in new information22.Which is NOT right about the experiment?A.There are 90 objects on the screen.B.They were tested again two days later.C.72 people took part in the experiment.D.They all had to do riding for 35minutes.23.How does exercise work its memory magic?A.By the hippocampus.B.No one knows for sure.C.A protein known as BDNF.D.A protein known as dopamine.BFor the Swiss,punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction.They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner.Whenever I visit Switzerland,I go through several stages of punctuality reaction.At first it delights me,especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather moreflexible approach to timekeeping.By contrast,life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable.If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm,they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this,for a while.Then it annoys me.The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean,and I find myself agreeingwith the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that "punctuality is the virtue of the bored."That is unfair though,and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other people.A punctual person is a considerate one.By showing up on time for everything,a Swiss person is saying,in effect,"I value your time and,by extension,I value you."It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's watchmakers.Which came first,the precise clocks and watches or the precise people?Hard to say,but the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality?No one knows for sure.But a popular theory is that,historically,it arises fromthe tough,mountainous area.Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the correct time or,well,you starved.Punctuality,sadly,is a dying art in many parts of the world.Mobile phones are partly to blame.We feel less compelled（紧急的）to arrive on time if we can always text to say we're running a few minutes late.I don't sense that is happening in Switzerland,though.Punctuality is not without its weaknesses.Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation,and if that expectation is not met,disappointment follows.On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly,the Swiss get nervous,confused and angry.24.What's NOT the author's attitude towards the Swiss punctuality?A.Pleasant.B.Exhausted.C.Annoyed.D.Appreciated.25.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time?A.To show their respect for other people.B.To show that they have the best watches.C.To show that they are considerate persons.D.To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world.26.The passage is probably taken from a.A.A history bookB.A business newspaperC.A cultural guidebookD.An economic magazineCA contest organised by Airbnb is offering three lucky winners the chance to spend a night in the company of sharks.The winners and their guests will get access to a transparent （透明的） glass bedroom in the 33-foot deep Paris Aquarium where 35 sharks are living.Interested applicants,who must be 18 years or older and in good health,can apply for the contest through the Airbnb website. "On the 11th,12th,and 13th of April,the Paris Aquarium will open its doors for a night in a room fullof sharks," the website states. "And not just any room: you will sleep in a round bed,with a breathtaking viewof the world of sharks."The unusual event will be hosted by a free diver,photographer,and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle,and a biologist will provide the winners with a special course on sharks-their mysterious lives and their role in the ocean's ecosystem,with which the winners can better understand the sharks and thus avoid disturbing their life in the aquarium when they stay there.Upon arrival,the winners will first be taken to their room for presentations,followed by dinner at the shark tunnel and a night stay among the sharks.A twin bed,soap,toilet paper,and shampoo are all included in thepackage,as well as breakfast the next morning.The stay is completely free,and so is the travel arrangement toand from Paris.Applications must also include a message addressed to the judges.In 50 to 500 characters,applicants must explain why they're the perfect candidate for the event.The choices of languages include English, German, Spanish, French,Italian and Portuguese.In case of Chinese,Japanese,and Korean,the word limit is between 50 and 300.
