2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（十）配答案一、阅读理解：AA GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, 78, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said.

He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone.

This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .l said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can n ow speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.5. Which of the following is the hest title for the passage?A.

A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was "light enough to see across" at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as: Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Prof Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC: "In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation."The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24-hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.Prof Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC: "People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom.I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker." Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said. "Overall this study points to the importance of darkness," he concluded.9. The passage mainly tells us_________.A. bright bedrooms link to obesityB. dark bedrooms link to obesityC. people should turn off lightsD. people should buy thicker curtains10. What does the underlined word “disrupt” (Para.4) mean?A. stopB. disturbC. improveD. recover11. What might Paragraph 4 be used for?A. One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.B. One possible explanation on disrupting mood.C. One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.D. One possible explanation on artificial light.12.What’s Prof Derk-Jan Dijk’s attitude towards the dark room?A. Unclear.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Favorable.DI get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the wind ow, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and wh at I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. Iknow, how can prison b e anyone’s favorite place?

She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set 21 on what I could achieve. She 22 believed that there were no limits that you could 23 whatever you wanted.I would never forget the following story that she once told me：A farmer won first24 at the country fair for his huge radish (小萝卜)that was the exact shape and 25 of a milk bottle.Many were 26 as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.27 one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied，“It was 28 . I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had 29 else to go.”You can use this story as an analogy (比喻) to life－our lives are 30 by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to 31 us, and the goals we give ourselves.If we only 32 and take no action, then we get no further.

To prove this 35 ，read the biographies of 36 people and you will see that goals and actions 37 played a big role in their success.Remember the 38 of Mary Kay Ash, who said，“Don't limit yourself. ” Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go 39 your mind lets you. Whatever you believe, rem ember, you can achieve.”In summary, don't put yourself in a bottle; in other words, move out of what is 40 and secure if you want to move forward.21．A. expectations B. rules C. limits D. lines22．A. truly B. naturally C. tightly D. partly23．A. win B. grasp C. realize D. achieve24．A. remark B. prize C. position D. award25．A. size B. length C. weight D. height26．A. doubtful B. worried C. anxious D. curious27．A.
