位敦市安定阳光实验学校高三英语下学期第6周周练试题考试日期:3月14日阅读理解AMosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably,mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的)wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases,including Dengue,yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas,which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects,with even smaller brains,use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then,the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said,at first,the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2,they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点).”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal,they also follow visual signals.28.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?A.Sense of smell. B.Sense of touch. C.Sense of sight. D.Smart brains.29.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is .A.to fly to the dark ones B.to catch and stick to themC.to take no notice of them D.to attach themselves to them30.How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ? A.Don’t let them see us. B.Use dark objects to stop them. C.Make them fly back and forth for hours.D.Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.31.What can be the best title for the text?A.How Do Mosquitoes Survive? B.Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood? C.How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?D.Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?BIt may not be as easy as you think to build a foundation for your child of family values. Often we believe that our child will pick up on our values if they live in the same home. While they may pick up many of our values, parents need to remember they are not the only influence in their child’s life. These outside values often compete with family values for your child’s attention. If we do not make a conscious effortat all.I wish I had learned that lesson a little earlier. I thought if I lived my values for my children they would pick them up and make their own. Sometimes this happened and sometimes it didn’t. I often seetwenty-something “kids” who have no f aith in many of the values of their family in favor of the values of their friends. Children will often pick up the negative you show quicker than the positive, so the positive things need extra focus to set them.Some of the influences your children face every day include their church, their school, their friends, any clubs or sporting groups they are part of and more. Kids spend many hours a day at school and with their friends. Sometimes in the business of life, we suppose our children will obtain that foundation we want for them.Instilling a foundation of family values to sustain(维持) your child requires more than living it in front of them. That is important, but building up your child with this important foundation must become intentional.That means we plan times to gather as a family. We plan activities together that show the values we want to pass on. We talk about our values; we live our values; we discuss the values of others and how they differ from ours; we constantly look for opportunities and make our own opportunities to share these values in word or deed with our children.Family values give our children a foundation to build upon. It helps them know they are loved and gives them a sense of belongings. Upon this sure foundation, they can spread their wings and grow to become parents who share these same values with their own children.probably means “______”.A. get our ideas out ofB. impress our ideas onC. collect our ideas forD. force our ideas upon33. We can learn from the passage that children ______.A. sustain their family values easilyB. will hold their familyvalues with ageC. often discuss family values of othersD. accept negative values more quickly34. Family values can be passed on if ______.A. we live with our childrenB. parents show positive thingsC. parents foster them intentionallyD. we plan times to gather with other families35. The passage mainly tells us about ______.A. the importance and the way to pick up family valuesB. a lesson the writer learned in educating his(her) kidsC. the influences the children face while growing upD. some negative and positive family values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。

Then we both decided to go to the nearby town to attend the wedding and come back together. After the reception was over, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude to them.When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare. The laborer shook his head and said, "No".On hearing this, the driver refused to take him.I remembered my own trouble a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chainof kindness could continue all over the world with your help! That is why today I especially share my story with you!21. How did the author and his friend get to their hometown?A. By taking a taxi.B. By walking.C. With the help of a laborer.D. With the help of a family.22. The reason why the driver permitted the laborer to get in at last is that .A. the driver showed mercy on the laborerB. the laborer finally agreed to pay his own fareC. the author promised to pay the laborer's fareD. the driver dislikes to take another passenger23. The author writes the passage mainly in order to .A. make such act of kindness spread in the worldB. make people remember a moving story foreverC. tell what shall people pay attention to in the wedding答案21. D 22. C 23. A三、短文改错I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.短文改错答案1. What we all中的What改为As2. greatly改为great3. teaching改为taught4. for改为with5. is an only language 中的an改为the6. opportunity改为opportunities7. there were problems中的were 改为are8. 在find后加it 9. learn改为learning 10. 去掉but。

Over time, I’ve increasingly realized the importance of honesty and tried to carry it out.

When is it?W: Tomorrow after school.Text 5M: The new baby must be keeping you up at all hours of the night.W: She’s been pretty good since my mother moved in, and she’s sleeping for a longer time at night.

(13)W: Well, it’s similar to a relaxation ball in its function,(13) but it’s u seful for anyone who has problems focusing. (14)M: So, how does it work?W: It’s about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That’s it.M: That’s it?W: Yeah. It’s very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. (14)M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. (15)W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion.M: Fair enough. And who invented it?W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor.

He recalls: Climbing into the car, I immediately lifted the woman’s head and opened her airway, so she would be able to breathe. I then kept my hands on her head to keep her neck steady(稳定), as the crash could have caused spinal(脊骨的)injury.Then the emergency services arrived, they asked me to stay inside the car and maintain the driver’s airway while they cut off the roof of the car. By the time the woman was freed from the vehicle, half an hour later, she was starting to regain consciousness.Philip is convinced the incident demonstrates the importance of knowing basic first aid. He said: The simple first aid techniques I used can be learned in five minutes, yet they probably saved the d river’s life. Surely that’s a worthwhile way to spend five minutes.Thousands of people are killed on UK roads every year and over half of road accident deaths occur before the emergency services arrive. It can take less than four minutes for a blocked airway to cause death, while it takes around eight minutes for emergency services to arrive.21. If Philip had not opened the woman’s airway, the woman would have ______.A. had her spinal injuredB. lost conscious in a short timeC. died before the emergency services arrivedD. had much more injuries22. In this passage the underlined word “demonstrate” probably means “______”.A. show clearly by giving examplesB. take part in a kind of movementC. show people’s lack ofD. encourage people to le arn23. Which could be the best title of the passage?A. Road accident deaths often occur in UKB. How to save a person’s life in an accidentC. An unforgettable experienceD. Simple skills saved a person’s life24. If first aid is given properly when an accident happens, ______.A. no people will be killed on the roadsB. it is unnecessary emergency services to comeC. it will take less time for emergency services to get to the spotD. more lives will be saved25. In For Pet’s Sake, Do Something! Book 1,A. what kind of food shouldn’t be given to your petB. when is the best time to feed your petC. how to prepare food for your pet at homeD. how to communicate with your pet26. Unlike the other three books, Pets Have Feelings Too! ______.A. is made up of many separate storiesB. is aimed to help your pets regain their healthC. is about a real person and his petsD. contains a great number of pictures27. Where can you find the advertisements?A. In the newspaper.B. In the magazine.C. On television.D. On a website.CIt’s important to teach your children proper pool and spa(温泉) behavior, and make sure that you take the right precautions(预防), too.Kids shouldn’t run or push around the pool and should never dive in areas that are n ot marked for diving. If the weather turns bad, they should get out of the pool immediately. Let them know, too, that they should contact the lifeguard or an adult if there’s an emergency.Above all, watch your children at all times. Don’t think that just because your child took swimming lessons or is using a flotation device that there is no drowning risk. If you’re at a party, it’s especially easy to become distracted, so designate(指派) an adult who will be responsible for watching the children.Seconds count when it comes to water emergencies, so it’s a good idea to take a mobile phone with you when you are watching your children during water play. A quick-dial feature keyed to 911 or your local emergency center will also save additional seconds. If you receive a call while watching your children, make your conversation brief to keep from being distracted.You should still be concerned about water safety, even after the swim season has passed. Pools with covers are not safe; many children attempt to walk on top of pools during the winter months and may get trapped underneath a pool cover. In addition, icy pools, ponds, and streams are tempting play areas for kids, so keep your pool gates locked and teach your child to stay away from water without an adult.28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To give children some advice on how to swim.B. To remind parents to be careful when swimming.C. To give parents some advice on water safety for children.D. To teach parents what to do when there is an emergency.29. The underlined sentence in this passage means _______.A. there is no time to lose when there is a water emergencyB. you must count time when a water accident happensC. time is the second importance when there is a water emergencyD. we should count the seconds when one is under water30. Y ou needn’t watch your children all the time _____.A. if they have had swimming lessonsB. when they are using flotation deviceC. if he is among a group of childrenD. when a lifeguard is with them31. Pools covered with ice are dangerous because _____.A. children like to play on themB. children are easy to fall on iceC. the tops of pools are hard to breakD. ice may break and children may get trapped under itDWhen a store sells goods or services at a cost lower than usual, it is called a sale. Sales last for a limited time. Then the cost is returned to its usual amount.There are many kinds o f sales. For example, a “back-to-school sale” is held near the beginning of the school year. Parents like the lower prices of the clothes and school supplies for their children.A “midnight madness” event starts very late at night. An “early bird special” sale starts very early in the morning. This kind of sale ispopular the day after Thanksgiving in November.1A favorite sale among many people is the “buy one, get one free” sale. You buy one thing and get a second one without cost. W hen people see the word “free” in an advertisement they know they are getting a good deal. As a matter of fact, it is not the case.Another kind of sale is a “going out of business” sale. This is when a storeowner tries to sell all the goods in the store be fore closing the business permanently(永久地).Let us say the store sells floor coverings. The owner lowers the prices and puts up a sign that says: “Going out of business sale. All items MUST be sold by tomorrow.”People who buy the floor coverings think they are getting a special deal because everything must be sold in a short period of time. Then, days later they see the store did not close permanently. And they see the same sign that claims the store is going out of business. Some business owners really do not end the business. They just want to earn more money.People also hold their own sales. They hold garage sales and yard sales outside their home. They sell things they no longer want. Groups such as religious centers or schools hold bake sales. They sell cakes, cookies and other baked goods to raise money.In America, you can always find a good sale, no matter the day or time of year. There is the Independence Day sale, Veteran’s Day sale, clearance sale, sidewalk sale, red tag sale, white sale, blue light special, liquidation sale, half-off sale, warehouse sale, tent sale ...32. What does the passage mainly deal with?A. How to save money in shopping.B. Different kinds of sales.C. Shoppers’ ways to earn money.D. Reasons for the popularity of sales.33. What do we call the sale if it starts before the sun rises?A. A “back-to-school sale”.B. A “midnight madness” event.C. An “early bird special” sale.D. A “buy one, get one free” sale.34. Why do parents like a “back-to-school sale”?A. Because it has a variety of school supplies.B. Because it is held at the beginning of the school year.C. Because it provides plenty school uniforms.D. Because they can save money.35. What’s the purpose of some owners who do “going out of business” sale repeatedly?A. They want to close the business permanently.B. They want to give special offers to customers.C. They want to sell all their goods in a short period of time.D. They want to cheat the customers into buying their goods.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0分)One way for parents in the United States to start saving for college when their child is still very young is called a 529 plan. The plans are named for the part of the federal tax law that created them in 1996. 36Private investment companies operate most of these plans, and each state has its own rules. 37Five twenty-nine plans offer different investment choices. Families must decide how aggressively they want to put money into stocks, bonds or other investments that can rise or fall in value. 3839 Parents can pay for an education at a public college or university in their state while their child is still growing up. But what if the child decides to go to school out of state, or not at all? The money can go to educate another family member, or the parents can withdraw it and pay taxes on the gains.40 One way is to put money for a child into what is called a custodial account until the child becomes an adult.A. There are other ways to save for college while also saving on taxes.B. They should make many useful plans for children.C. Many plans are open to families from other states.D. There are limits on how much families can put into 529 plans.E. All 50 states and the District of Columbia offer them.F. Parents have no choice but to educate their children themselves.G. Another choice is called a prepaid tuition plan.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Every morning, the newspaper chief editor holds a meeting with the journalists and other colleagues.

Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.

Multi-tasking shrinks(萎缩) the brain, research suggests.A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain.University of Sussex researchers said:“simultaneously using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices could be changing the structure of our brains.” Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion.The finding follows research which has linked multi-tasking with a shortened attention span (持续时间),depression, anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking email, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the web. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC).The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, is the first to make a link between multi-tasking and the structure of the brain.Researcher Kep Kee Loh said:“Media multitasking is becoming more prevalent in our lives today and there is increasing concern about its impacts on our cognition and social-emotional wellbeing.” “He added that more research is needed to prove that multitasking shrinks the brain. This is because it is also possible that people with less grey matter in the ACC are more drawn to u sing lots of gadgets simultaneously.” Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team commissioned a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99 and found 20 percent had problems with memory. Researchers were taken aback by the 14 percent of 18 to 39-year-olds who also worried about their memories.Multi-tasking with gadgets may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress. 5.What's the main idea of this passage?A.Multi-tasking shortens attention span.B.Multi-tasking makes your brain smaller.C.Multi-tasking has harmful effects on our memory.D.Multi-tasking is becoming more and more popular.6.What does the underlined word “simultaneously” (in Paragraph 3) mean?A.frequently B.now and thenC.in the meantime D.for a long time7.What's the opinion of Kep Kee Loh on media multi-tasking?A.people with less grey matter are more willing to use gadgets lots.B.Whether multi-tasking shrinks the brain remains to be studied further.C.Multi-tasking with gadgets makes it harder to focus and form memories.D.Media multi-tasking affects on our cognition and social-emotional well-being. 8.Researchers believe that multi-tasking may cause people to be ________.A. attentiveB. addictedC. absent-mindedD. intelligentC(七选五)Your Teen Is Falling Asleep in ClassTeens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time.

2015届高三周练英语试卷阅读理解ASince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1.BCI is a technology that can ________.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts2.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair3.The team will test with real patients to ________.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesBHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system.Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的) .Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area.It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◇Continental Breakfast◇Breakfast and Dinner◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee.Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is moresuitable for the long-stay student.However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.5.The passage is probably written for ________.A.hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB.foreigners hoping to build British cultureC.travellers planning to visit families in LondonD.English learners applying to live in English homes6.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.B.The business centre of London is in Zone 1.C.Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.D.Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.7.According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?A.Dessert and coffee. B.Fruit and vegetables.C.Bread and fruit juice. D.Cereal and cold meat.8.Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A.To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B.To enrich their knowledge of English.C.To entertain friends as they like.D.To enjoy much more freedom.C"Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief。
