18 届高三阶段测试（四）英语试题第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题：每小题2分，满分30 分）AIt’s four o’c lock on a W ednesday at a private swimming pool in the W ashington, D.C. area.T wo fathers talk about getting their kids ready for a baseball-themed birthday party that evening. Both fathers are trying to get their sons dried, dressed and ready to get in the car. When I ask one of the fathers if he is a stay-at-home dad, he quickly answers, “no.” But, then he adds that he did lose his job six weeks ago. He says he is temporarily a stay-at-home Dad.The other father, RJ Respress, has been a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 years. He has a 10-year-old son named Ben and a 7-year-old daughter named Sophie. Being a stay-at-home dad now, he says, is much different than it was 10 years ago. “… and so when I first started staying home, there weren’t a lot of dads around. It wasn’t a thing yet. And being home as a dad at that point you definitely stood out. I stood out. But now, I don’t think it makes a lot of difference, honestly. The stay-at-home dad phenomenon, if you will, I think, everyone seems to know about it. It’s not peculiar. Y ou see them all the time.”He is right. Families in the U.S. are changing. A new study finds that in the U.S. more than two million fathers are staying home to take care of the house and family. This number is twice that of 25 years ago. In 2012, 16 percent of all parents in the U.S. were stay-at-home dads.Gretchen Livingston is with the Pew Research Center. She says the number of stay-at-home dads is only going to grow.She says in the last 25 years there have been changes as far as dads taking on more care giving responsibilities and mothers taking on more bread-winner responsibilities. She adds that the number of hours a day that dads spend caring for their kids has tripled in the past decades. That is a huge change.The study finds that disability, sickness and unemployment are among the reasons that fathers stay home. But, some fathers do so simply to spend more time with their children. 21. What would be the best title for this passage? A.The peculiar phenomenon in U.S.B. The changing roles of the families in U.S.C.Fathers are the key role in families.D. Families become more important in U.S.22. From Paragraph3 we can infer that .A. there is a slight change of attitude toward a stay-at-home Dad between the past decades and nowB. the stay-at-home dad phenomenon was peculiar in the pastC. to be honest, RJ Respress does not want to be a stay-at-home dadD. there are a lot of differences between a stay-at-home Dad and a working-out Dad23. What does the underlined word “tripled ” mean in the six paragraph? A.Three times. B. T wice.C. More than.D. MultiplyBAt a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He wasjust able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly . He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolateinto a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing poleand gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.By t h e t ime w h e r eher雾气）had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore. The outer fringe （ 边 缘 ） o f the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly . All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake. Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying of a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly it soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy . 24. Dave got up early in the morning to . A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake C. go fishing in the lakeD. take a walk by the lake25. According to the story, which of the following is TRUE? A.Dave broke the quietness of the lake.B. Dave was familiar with the surroundings.C.Dave took a picture of the lake with him.D. Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning.26. What can we learn from the end of the story? A.Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish.B. Dave wished the weather would be better.C. Dave was happy that dawn was broken.D. Dave expected someone else would come.CSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Y ear One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star W ars light sabers（剑）. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using thebeat-up one s.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not beparticularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位）when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn’t healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John T aylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakne ss” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parent s’role to provide that protection.When a “boss chil d” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,”says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxi ous.”27. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson . A.make good decisionsB. show self-centerednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear28. The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means . A.inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment29. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents . A.should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children30. Bossy children may probably become . A.relaxed B. skillfulC. hesitantD. lonely31. What is the passage mainly about?A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C.What leads to children’s bossy behavior.D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.DIn meditation, people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let goAccording to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marketchange in how the brain all o cate s( 分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people atcatching such fast-changing stimuli(刺激), like facial expressions.The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience inthe experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are sayi ng.”32. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to .A. feelingsB. mindsC. peopleD. thoughts33. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because t h e y A.are given less pressure.B. allocate their attention better.C.have more stimuli for life.D. practice them more frequently.34. In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours A.were more likely to catch both of the members .B. were used to memorizing numbers in groups.C.usually ignored the first number observed.D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters.35. T h e s t udy prov e s t h atA. meditation improves one’s health.B.brain activity can be recorded.C. human attention can be trained.D. mediators have a good sense of hearing.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Rosa didn’t li ke her job at the factory, but it was better than no job at all. So,while she was trying not to think about work, she saw the pots in an alley. They were cheap plastic pots, but there were dozens of them piled up behind the flower shop. Such a waste, she thought. When the pots were still there three days later, Rosa went in and asked if she could take some. The flower shop lady said she didn’t mind, so Rosa carried home a tower of pots, pretending she was a circus performer on the way.At home, Rosa set them on the fire escape outside her tiny apartment. And there they sat. Once a gust of wind sent them slipping to the street three floors below, and she had to go to run after and catch them before the gathering storm.Every day, Rosa went to work and thought about her pots- She was wailing for something, but she had patience.At last, the newspaper brought good news. A hardware store had a sale on potting soil. Rosa carefully counted her money, then walked six blocks to the store. She bought six bags and carried them home. She bought seeds, too. Rosa slept well that night and dreamed of masses of flowers and fat, glowing fruits,Sundays were always good days. Rosa didn’t have to work on Sundays. But Rosa couldn’t remember when she had had such a good Sund ay. She got up early and ate her breakfast on the fire escape with her pots. Then, she began to put dirt into the pots. She sang a little song until all six of her bags of soil were empty. Then, she laid her precious seed packets out and planned her garden. Tomatoes for the biggest pots, and peppers for the next-biggest ones.Flowers in all the rest.At the end of the day, Rosa sat in her garden and watched the sunset.

After all, apart from using expensive laser removal therapy, they stay on your skin forever.The Prinker is here to change the game. It is a device that lets you create or print any image or temporary tattoos within a matter of seconds. It is connected to your smartphone and you can select a bunch of preloaded tattoos available in the app.This device was exhibited at The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year. It is manufactured by a Korean startup company called“SketchOn”.You can sketch your ideas out on your skin with this portable device that is almost twice the size of a computer mouse. This is a nice way to support your team in the match by printing its logo or design onto your skin. You can also share your tattoo designs with others through the app. It is also a fun and creative toy for kids to play with.In order to print the design, all you need to do is select or draw a design on your mobile and then press and rub the base of the device against your skin and you are done. These designs and images are water resistant but can be washed off with soap water. The ink of the Prinker is non-toxic and is made only from certified cosmetic ingredients. Each cartridge contains enough ink fo r about 1,500 tattoos, or as J+ R. Smith would call it, “a good start.”The Prinker is developed by a small team of five members. The company is planning to launch the device in China and then in the United States. The device is currently commercializing in Korea as a rental device. The agencies and organizations pay $150 for a day to use it in their events or marketing.The current version of Prinker is aimed towards business users . But the company is working on a home version, and hopes to have it available to buy before the end of 2018. SketchOn estimates the personal model will retail at $200. The company is currently seeking to partner with international agencies for distribution opportunities.Although Prinker is currently aimed towards novelty and creative purposes, its technologies could eventually be adapted for use by professionaltattoo artists or medical professionals who provide tattoos for patients, such as after a breast cancer operation or skin graft.（1）According to the passage, tattoos by Prinker ______.A . can stay permanentlyB . are convenient to printC . can draw more attentionD . are expensive to remove（2）What can we learn from the passage?A .

Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation to being exhausted in the first place. Researcherswho study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach» Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes mo re sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.Many questions about the nature of self-control remain to be answered by further research. Yet it seems likely that with clear goals, good self-monitoring and a little practice, you can train your willpower to stay strong in the face of temptation.（1）From the studies in the passage we learn that ______.A . people have unlimited self-controlB . high motivation ensures one’s successC . willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD . too many temptations often lead to failure（2）The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probablymeans ______.A . make use ofB . run out ofC . buildD . increase（3）The author compares self-control to muscles ______.A . to prove the long-term effects of willpowerB . to show the significance of regular exerciseC . to argue that self-control can be easily used upD . to explain the benefits of practicing self-control（4）To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A . “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B . “I will set three goals this n ew semester.”C . “I will keep myself from any temptation.”D . “I will read an English novel every month.”20. 阅读理解The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies~often under the control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill oat and over the planet, with a flavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous .For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It may also bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuine cause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world.Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s exist ing values. They are increasingly bombarded with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example, traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don’t yet have the values to deal with successfully.Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues the same “one size fits all” American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery.Such gradual aggression against people’s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. The accumulative effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration may bring. This creates real problems for social stability» whether itis at the level of nation, community or family.In conclusion, cultural globalization，or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity,（1）It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ______.A . non-Western societies willingly accept economic globalizationB . Western culture unites the world、economies and technologiesC . the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societiesD . despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity（2）Which best serves as an example of the “one size fits all” principle in non-Western nations?A . McDonald receives more criticism abroad than at home.B . Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle.C . Chinese food wins great approval in the United Kingdom.D . Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries,（3）What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization?A . Cautious.B . Critical.C . Positive.D . Neutral.（4）The passage is mainly about _______.A . cultural diversity in globalizationB . challenges to non-Western culturesC . drawbacks of cultural globalizationD . disappearance of non-Western cultures四、任务型阅读21. 任务型阅读If you were like most kids, your mother told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers: Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stick them up your nose , and don’t use them when you are counting.________But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept— mathematics—and translate it into the most basic and visual form.________Even when we aren’t actually counting on them, they still can help us on math problem,________It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger. Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more compl ex the problem, the more activities are detected.The connection between finger use and math ability has been shown on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching,________When college students were given the same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachersshouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers.________Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math educatio n.Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no 1s regarding the use of fingers.A. The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.B. There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area.C. Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools.D. Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quickly as well.E. In fact, experts believe t he brain is able to “see” a representation of our fingers.F. That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.G. Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.五、书面表达22. 你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文学很感兴趣，并请你向他推荐一部优秀的中国文学作品。
