The relatively traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.Algarve,PortugalPortugal is a cycling destination that has grown in popularity thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. It is not too dissimilar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions,but Portugal just feels that little bit less main stream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of food to sink your teeth into and local wines to try.Northern Scotland,UKOne of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping-Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam(漫游)，while English law does not. It’s a totally liberating way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it due to the beautiful scenery and rural landscapes.Julian Alps,SloveniaSlovenia is one of the relatively new kids on the block when it comes to European cycling getaways. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike, the country has plenty of brilliant off-road routes and rideable,tricky roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve ridden here that the country punches well above itsweight in terms of producing world class bike racers.1．What do the first two destinations have in common?A．They supply local wines for visitors.B．They are completely traffic free.C．They have fewer riding routes.D．They serve delicious food.2．Which of the following is your best choice if you love adventure?A．Algarve,Portugal.B．Girona,Spain.C．Northern Scotland,UK.D．Julian Alps,Slovenia.3．What do we know about Julian Alps, Slovenia?A．It produces brilliant mountain climbers.B．It has a short cycling history.C．It welcomes wild campers.D．It is known for rural landscapes.Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier. ”Dr. Lopez points out that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weightproblem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Someweight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.4．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important? A．It can make the teenagers grow taller.B．It can help teenagers become healthier. C．It can help to burn up calories.D．It can increase teenagers’ strength. 5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Active people always have a high fitness level.B．Overweight people always take more exercise.C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.6．In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.A．walking B．stretching and bending C．ridingD．weight-training7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Doing exercises B．Teenagers’ Fitness C．Different Lifestyles D．Overweight TeenagersWhen Frank Herbert ordered pizza from Pizza Huts, he was surprised that Judit, at such an old age, worked as a delivery driver. That's when the 89-year-old man first came into the sight of the Herbert family. Judit Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, as his social security benefits (社会保障金) weren't enough to live on. From the moment the Herberts heard him say, “Hello, are you looking for some pizza," Judit found his way into their hearts!Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Judit personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Judit. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard—question the Herbert family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Judit, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but the total sum which is up to $12,000 really surprised them!In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Judit's door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself holding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their TikTok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more thankful.“How do ever say thank you? I don't know what to say, "he told them. "I don't know what to say, except thank you." The Herberts insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible. Plus, the way they see it, they're just repaying Judit for his kindness.8．What did Judit Newey mean by saying "Hello, are you looking for some pizza,"?A．He was selling pizza.B．He was delivering pizza.C．The Herberts were making the order.D．The Herberts lost some pizza.9．Why does Judit Newey have to deliver pizza at such an old age of 89?A．To help people in need.B．To raise money for the poor.C．To volunteer in a charity.D．To make his living.10．What can be inferred from the text?A．The money the Herberts raised was beyond their expectations.B．The Herberts asked TikTok for help to record their meeting.C．Judit was very thankful because of the support from TikTok.D．Judit worked 30 hours a week to afford his social security benefits.11．Which of the following can best describe the Herberts?A．Helpful and warmhearted.B．Optimistic and wise.C．Generous and hardworking.D．Kind and talented.The mangrove tree might not look very impressive, but it is an essential part of our ecosystem. However, more than half of the mangrove forests have been destroyed in the past century. Several World Heritage Sites have been listed largely because of their mangrove ecosystems. Among them are the Sundarbans across India and Bangladesh, the Everglades National Park in the US, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.Being a World Heritage Site requires for the mangroves to be protected. However, one country in Asia has gone further by having a five-year program to protect and conserve all their mangroves. They even have a mangrove museum and observe World Mangrove Day. This country is Sri Lanka. Why are mangrove trees so important to Sri Lanka and to other countries where mangroves grow?The mangrove tree grows along coastal saltwater shorelines. They have adapted to the harsh coastal weather and have deep roots. This means that they are strong and cannot be easily removed. In countries where natural disasters such as tsunamis and cyclones occur, the forests provide protection. The villages in Sri Lanka with full mangrove forests have sufferedless damage when hit by these natural disasters. The reason is that the mangroves break up the force and strength of the waves.The mangroves also quickly absorb carbon dioxide and send oxygen into the atmosphere. This makes them an important part of the fight against climate change. They absorb far more carbon dioxide than other types of forest, and store it in their structure and even in the soil. This is important as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is believed to be a cause of detrimental changes in the weather, such as global warming.The strong roots also provide protection for young fish as they grow. With the oceans around the world being overfished, it is important to maintain the ecological balance in the oceans. For Sri Lanka, one of the threats to the mangrove forests is the shrimp farms being set up. To build saltwater ponds for the shrimps, the mangroves are cut down. This has resultedin fewer fish surviving among the mangrove roots and fewer fish being caught by the fishermen. The local fishing communities noticed that they were losing money and it made them aware of how important the mangroves were. They are now helping to conserve the forests.Sri Lanka is showing that a nation can preserve all of its mangroves. The conservation model they have can be used by other countries. It might take many years of planning, but the benefits of saving mangroves definitely outweigh the costs.12．What do we know about the mangrove trees from the passage?A．They are mainly grown in Australia.B．They can prevent young fish from growing.C．They have been damaged by natural disasters.D．They are less impressive but important to the ecosystem.13．What has been done in Sri Lanka to protect mangroves?A．A world mangrove festival has been founded.B．Saltwater ponds for the shrimps have been set up.C．A 5-year mangroves protecting program has been started.D．More mangroves along the coastal areas have been grown.14．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The mangroves can keep the ecological balance in the oceans.B．The mangroves are essential for fighting against climate change.C．The mangroves have deep roots and hold the soil in place firmly.D．The mangroves can break up the force and strength of the waves.15．What is the author’s attitude towards the future conservation of mangroves? A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、七选五（共10分）Many experts are calling the growing problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis in since pollution from trash is not only harming the world’s oceans, air and soil but also endangering people’s health as well as the livelihood of all living creatures.Reduce, reuse, recycleSuch a dilemma raises the question, is there a more responsible way of dealing with trash? Fortunately, there is. ___16___One example of this is what’s often called the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reducing the use of plastic containers as well as reusing and recycling bottles and cans decreases the amount of garbage being sent to landfills. As a result, less money is spent on waste management, and countries’ financial burdens are significantly relieved. Such positive effects on an economy are known as a circular economy.Circular economyTraditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be used and disposed of by consumers. This linear (直线型的) model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. ___17___.Once a product’s value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned tomanufacturers. The outcome is less waste. One large-scale example of this is happening on the island of Taiwan.___18___In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-1 Recycling Program, consisting of communities, government cleaning teams, recycling companies and the Recycling Fund. Residents separate their recyclable waste. The local government collection teams collectit.___19___. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an essential aspect of the program used to subsidize (补贴) the recycling disposal system, support education and research and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future.Turning garbage into goldBy following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities.___20___.A．Practices in TaiwanB．4-in-1 Recycling ProgramC．Recycling can truly turn garbage into goldD．Living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to goE．Alternatively, a circular economy was introducedF．The recyclable waste is recycled in many local factoriesG．Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to make profits三、完形填空（共30分）From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.

Reading comprehension （40’）AMany people have tried to simplify the spelling of English word. Unlike other languages, English spells the same sounds in very different ways. For example, there is ‘light’ but ‘white’, ‘loan’ but ‘phone’, and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing the sound ‘ough’! Each of the following words is pronounced differently: ‘though’, ‘through’, ‘bough’, ‘cough’, ‘enough’, ‘ought’, and ‘thorough’.The great Irish writer, George Bernard Shaw, was very interested in making English spelling more logical. The American president Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in doing this.In 1906 one of the richest men in America, Andrew Carnegie, started the Simplified Spelling Board. This Board was a group of people whose plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sounded. For example, the word ‘though’ would be spelt ‘tho’, ‘through’ would became ‘thru’ (which it did, but much later), ‘enough’ would become ‘enuf’, and so on. Other people on the Board were Melvin Dewey, the head of the New York libraries, and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They took the idea to President Roosevelt who thought it was a very good one. He immediately told the government printer to use the simplified spelling on all government letters.But people do not like change – even change that makes life easier – and many people disliked the new, simpler spelling. The British –who probably thought they owned the English language –were particularly angry. More importantly, when American politicians discussed the plan, they did not like it. Because Roosevelt did not want to have a problem with the politicians, he changed his plans and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.Since then no one in any government has dared to try to simplify English spelling. However, people do simplify many words, mainly in advertisements. We often see ‘tonite’ instead of ‘tonight’, for example, and ‘thru’ instead of ‘through’.56. The passage is about ________.A. President Roosevelt.B. people who tried to simplify English spellingC. the way that advertisements simplify English spellingD. how to pronounce English properly57. People wanted to simplify the spelling of English so that ________.A. words could have several different pronunciationsB. words could be spelt as they were pronouncedC. they could establish the Simplified Spelling BoardD. it was more difficult to read government letters58. Simplified spelling failed because ________.A. it was not easy to understandB. the government didn’t like the ideaC. there were too many new words to learnD. people did not want to changeBWhat Is a Boy?Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”．Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．Boys are found everywhere – on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to．Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them．A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise．When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand．He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines．He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime．Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper．Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes．Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things．A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”59．The whole passage is in a tone of _________．A．humor and love B．respect and harmonyC．hope and expectation D．confidence and imagination60．What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence?A．He has altogether five fingers．B．He is slow, foolish and clumsy．C．He becomes clever and smart．D．He cuts his hand with a knife．61．According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except _________．A．ice cream B．comic books C．Saturday mornings D．Sunday schools 62．What does the writer feel about boys?A．He feels curious about their noise．B．He is fed up with these creatures．C．He is amazed by their naughtiness．D．He feels unsafe staying with them．CAustralian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (肠胃气胀) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals’ passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物) in some countries.“Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep,” said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.“And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they’re actually up around 50 percent,” he said.Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.“It’s low in fat, it’s got high protein levels and it’s very clean in the sense that basically it’s the free-range (放养的) animal,” said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales’s institute of environmen tal studies.63．Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep ________.A. to prevent them from sending out greenhouse gasesB. to help Australian farmers to earn more moneyC. so that they can protect Australian ecosystemD. so that they can make full use of special bacteria64．Athol Klieve seems to believe that ________.A. cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxideB. less cattle and sheep are raised in New ZealandC. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gasesD. New Zealand has the most animals in the world 65．The main idea of the text is to ________.A. discuss a better way to protect the earthB. warn farmers of the danger of animal wasteC. illustrate the possible solutions to pollutionD. present a recent study on global warming66．The advantages Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos don’t include ________.A. it is rich in proteinB. it is low in fatC. it is cheaper than beefD. it is cleaner than sheepDAsk any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be "goals". Goal Setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So what motivates you? Why are you in college? If you are in college because that's what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. Sure, it's possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you. ("If you graduate from college, I'll give you a car!" or worse "If you don't graduate from college, you won't get a car.") But motivation that comes from within really makes the difference.Certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you don't have motivation, you won't get far. Think about this analogy. You have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic CD system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表). There it sits. This car has incredible potential. However, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesn't function. You guessed it: the KEY is MOTIVATION.Interest is an important motivator for a student. So is a desire to learn. When you link these two things together, you create success. Often success in an endeavor(努力) leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established.So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in being in college? Have you set realistic goals for yourself? How can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? When it comes to motivation, KNOWING is not as important as DOING.67. Why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?A. Because people can never go far without a good car.B. Because a good car motivates some college students to study harder.C. Because a good car is a symbol of being a success.D. Because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.68. What is the CORRECT comparison between the internal motivation and the external (外部的)motivation?A. Only the internal motivation can result in success.B. Internal motivation is more important than external motivation.C. Internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance.D. External motivation is enough for people to achieve success.69. According to the article, the following factors can push people towards their goals EXCEPT __________.A. interestB. the desire to learnC. the knowledge of motivationD. the sense of success70. What’s the main purpose of the article?A. To encourage everyone to develop motivation for whatever they are doing..B. To inspire college students to set goals for their college life.C. To imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.D. To call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.71. What may be the writer’s advice to the potential readers?A. The goals you set for yourself shouldn’t be far beyond your reach.B. You needn’t attend college if you are really not interested in it.C. You should work harder to win praise from others.D. Honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life.班 姓 座号************************************** 密 封 线 ************************** 密 封 线 *******************************************EChildren in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, releasedit, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, "This way, they might be more fortunate than us." Fast-forward to 1995. Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. "The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it," she said. "It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for." During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future." It was a special kind of gift from our father," Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce. 72. Why did woman let the fish out into the lake ?A .She thought of the fairy tale.B .She did so in memory of her husband. C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them. 73. What happened to the family when they returned after the war ? A. They could not live around the lake.B. They worked hard to build their home.C. They took good care of the golden fish.D. They made a fortune from golden fish.74. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. The woman set the golden fish free b. The woman buried her husbandc. The woman slipped back homed. The family rebuilt the housee. The family sold the goldfish A. c, b, a, e, dB. c, a, b, e, dC. b, c, a, d, eD. b, d, a, c, e75. What does the author intend to tell us?A .The more golden fish, the wealthier you ’ll be. B. Golden fish promise a good fortune. C .No pains, no gains. D. Give, and it will be given to you.高三第三次月考英语试题Nov. 22,Part Two for Class 3-10(45’)I1. I _______________________________ his novels and not very keen on reading them.2.

AAllow me to introduce you to Terry, a window salesman from England. If I could take you back about 20 years, you’d know Terry as a complete green hand, who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted. A person couldn ’t sell false teeth to his own Granny, let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry. You know, the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.Terry’s boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day. So off he went, but he was extremely nervous. With his hands and his knees shaking, he approached the front door and knocked at is. And old woman appeared. After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits, the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7,000 worth of windows.The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week, all of whom offered her cheaper ones! That’s right---Terry’s price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.So, what happened then? Here comes the secret. The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others. That’s all there was to it. She didn’t care about the extra expense. Even the other salesmen couldn’t persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman’s talk. First impressions count, not the sales techniques, not the low prices. The actual “personality”the kid honestly gave was all that was required. If you market your own products and services, consider what impression you are giving to others. If you appeal to them, then you’ve already done half of the work. If this means redesigning your presentation, then so be it. If this means going out of your way to be polite, helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers, the so be it.1. When Terry was offered the job of salesman, he .A. was good at sales techniquesB. was too young to do itC. was believed in by his bossD. knew little about sales skills2. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggests that .A. Terry could n’t trade with EskimosB. Terry loved his Granny moreC. Terry was too honest to do the jobD. Terry was afraid to compete3. What made the young lad succeed in selling the window to the old woman?A. Being honest and childish.B. First impression of good personality.C. High quality and expensive window.D. Strange ways of sales.4. The passage is most likely written to .A. new salesmenB. general readersC. window makersD. new graduatesBIt’s hard to predict the weather in the near future. It’s even more difficult to know what the climate of the coming season is like. Now you know the winter of 2011/12 was not warm but a freezing one/ many people in the Northern Hemisphere died of cold. but a Native American tribe was fortunate enough to survive the terrible winter because of what was foretold by a weatherman.One day in early September o 2011 the chief of the Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter was going to be cold or mild. The chief asked his medicine man, but the man also had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes.In truth, neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter. However, the chief decided to take a modern approach, and rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan.“Yes, it is going to be a cold winter,” the weatherman told the chief. Consequently, the chief went back to his tribe and told his tribe people to collect plenty of firewood.A fortnight later the chief called the National Weather Service and asked for an update. “Are you still forecasting a cold winter?” he asked.“Yes, very cold,” the weatherman told him.As a result of this brief conversation the chief went back to the tribe people to collect every bit of wood they could find.A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter. “Yes,” he was told, “it s going to be one of the coldest winters ever.”The weatherman was right! And the Native American tribe went comfortably through the terrifying winter. The chief was thankful and curious.

Suddenly a man pushes past you, opens the window and announces his intention to jump. You yell out, “Stop! Don’t do it!” the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says, “Try to stop me and I’ll take you with me!”“Umm… No problem, sir. have a good trip. any last words?”“Let me tell you my troubles,”he says, “my wife left me, my kids won’t talk to me, I lost my job and my pet turtle died, so why should I go on living?”Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration. “Sir, close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind. No colors, no sights of children playing, no fields of flowers, no sunset. Now imagine that suddenly there’s a miracle. You open your eyes and your vision is restored! Are you going to jump? Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?”“I’ll stay for a week.”“But what happened to all the troubles?”“I guess they’re not so bad. I can see!”“Well, your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars. You’re a rich man!”If you really appreciate your eyesight, the other pains are insignificant. But if you take it all for granted, then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy. Actually, there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.misconception1: “Once I know the tools for being happy, then it will work like magic.”Don’t expect the results to come automatically. It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness, yet not put it into practice. In fact, many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy, rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits. Just as learning any new skill requires effort, you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.Misconception 2: “if I become content and satisfied with what I have, I’ll lose my motivation to achieve more.”Now ask someone who is depressed, “Let’s go fishing!”“I’m tired. Maybe tomorrow. And anyway, I might rain…” in reality, happy people are energetic and ambitious. There’s never enough time to do everything they want to do.Misconception 3:A beautiful Sunday afternoon, you’re in the park having a picnic with friends. Suddenly one person complains: “who forgot the forks? It’s too hot for volleyball. I want to go home already.”When our mood negatively affects others, we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun. But what about when we’re at home with our family? Or when we go into the office on Monday morning? like an open pit in the middle of the road, a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger. Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.9. The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in orderto .A. tell a skill of persuasionB. warn the danger of standing on a tall buildingC. emphasize the importance of eyesightD. introduce the theme of the passage10. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?A. Everything has a price.B. We should value what we have.C. Every dog has its day.D. Eyesight is more important.11. What is right about happy？A. Happy is a gift.B. Happy is limited.C. Happy is contagious (会传染的).D. Happy is no more than a skill.12. The best subtitle of Misconception 3 is .A. If unhappy occurs at home, I needn’t pretend to be happyB. If I can’t make others unhappy, I won’t be happy.C. If someone is happy, then others around them are happy.D. If I want to be depressed, that’s my own prerogative.DBuckingham Palace has a history that dates back over 500 years and has changed hands on numerous occasions, however, much of the building that remains standing today is from the original structure built in the early 1700's.In the beginning Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House. However, in 1762 George III liked the house so much that he bought it for 28,000 and renamed it "The Queen's House". The reason for this was down to the fact that he bought the house to give to his wife Charlotte. Shortly after he did this, work soon began in order to remodel the house with the help of Sir William Chambers. This trend then continued with the accession of George IV in 1820 when he decided to reconstruct the house but he still used it for the same purpose that his father did.One of the biggest physical changes to the house occurred several years later when the king had a change of mind. It was in 1826 that King George IV set about transforming the house into what it is known today, Buckingham Palace. He did this with the help of an architect known as John Nash.The work that Nash carried out involved doubling the size of the main block through adding a new suite of rooms on the garden side facing the west. He then faced this with mellow Bath stone, which reflected the French neo-classical influence favored by George IV. Many of the rooms that Nash added still remain pretty much unchanged today.The palace as it stands today acts as not only the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen but also the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household. It is in fact one of the few working royal palaces that remain in the world today. The state rooms are extensively used by the Queen as well as members of the royal family as a way of receiving and entertaining guests on state, ceremonial and official occasions.13. George IV reconstructed Buckingham House probably to .A. please his own wifeB. satisfy his sonC. sell at a good priceD. honor his old father14. One of the biggest changes to Buckingham Palace took placein .A. 1762B. 1820C. 1826D. 182915. The last paragraph mainly tells usA. how important Buckingham Palace is todayB. what Buckingham Palace is like todayC. some information of royal palaces in the worldD. how Buckingham Palace is used today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。

领兑市安插阳光实验学校渤海中学高三英语3月模拟试题第Ⅰ卷选择题（共60分）第一阅读理解第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

ASome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks(平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia(百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.1．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledgeB．cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC．reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself2．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading, however”underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A．People only need reading, though. B．Reading is still necessary today.C．Reading is more fun than television. D．Watching television doesn't help reading.3．What can we learn from the passage?A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D．More people like TV programs about famous men.BIf your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he'd offer you more money to do so—or even double that depending on where you live now. That's because Moscow has just been found to be the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐)．A two­bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $ 4000 a month： a CD $ 24.83, and an international newspaper $ 6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包)is a_steal at $ 4.80.London takes the No. 2 place, up from No. 5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算)London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No. 5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world's most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year's study—New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada's most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide.4．What do the underlined words“a steal”in Paragraph 3 mean?A．an act of stealing B．something deliciousC．something very cheap D．an act of buying5．London has become the second most expensive city becauseof________.A．the high cost of clothing B．the stronger pound against the dollarC．its expensive transportation D．the high prices of fast food meals6．Which city is the third most expensive on the list?A．Tokyo. B．Hong Kong. C．Moscow. D．Sydney.7．Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?A．New York. B．Los Angeles. C．San Francisco. D．Toronto.CCOME TO NEWYORK ANDSEE THE WORLDIf you’re looking for the place that has everything, there’s onlyone place to visit, and that is New York. It’s a whole world in a city.The World of Theatre: All of New York is a stage. And it begins with Broadway. Where else can you find so many hit shows in one place?

Well, just look back at how you have felt when you have heard music playing at these places. Playing the right type of music can help people feel better. Music also has an effect on your concentration (集中注意力). Music even helps patients feel better and helps them recover faster and better.Depression (沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are periods in our life when everything can seem difficult. Studies have shown that music can be a major mood (心情) lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in reducinganxiety. Anxiety often causes lack (不足) of sleep and other related problems.Music is often known as the international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking but most of us respond to music in the same manner. Music is one of the best ways to lift your moods, but this can depend a lot on the type of music you listen to. While happy music can make you feel better, sad music can further drown your spirits. If the tempo (拍子) is fast, you will become excited and dance to the music. Listening to classical music can often make you feel powerful while soft music can be the perfect way to help you relax at the end of a long day.If you want to use music to change the way you are feeling, you need to recognize the type of music that can lift your moods. Once you know the type of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel.12. What type of music should you listen to after a tiring day?A. Classical music.B. Rock music.C. Sad music.D.

The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”．As is known to all, with the improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.How can we solve the problems then? As far as I’m concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy – saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.Therefore, let’s take the responsibility to build up a low carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!Thank you!。
