江苏省盐城市2017届高三英语第三次模拟考试试题一、试题命制情况分析盐城市2017届高三年级三次模拟考试英语试题依据《2017年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷）说明》中英语科的各项要求进行命制，注重考查学生作为语言使用者是否具备必要的语言知识和综合运用的能力，全面考查学生在不同语境下语言知识的运用以及听、读、写的能力。

从基础到能力题的选材上尽量聚焦考查语言素质，体现人文关怀和科学情怀。

1. 听力听力部分旨在考查学生能否听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉话题的简短对话和独白。

学生应能能识别不同语气所表达的不同情感；能听懂有关熟悉话题的讨论和谈话并记住要点；能抓住一般语段中的观点；能基本听懂广播或电视英语新闻的主题或大意；能听懂委婉的建议或劝告等。

三次听力涉及的话题有工作安排、生活休闲、打电话、旅游、网站、读书、房屋装修、就业面试、摄影比赛等。

主要的理解能力体现为以疑问词“What”、“Where”开始的细节问题，以疑问词“Why”、“How”等开始的推理和解释问题，以及疑问词“Which”开始的判断和选择问题。

2. 单项填空主要考查学生准确运用基础语言结构进行表达的能力，要求“语法、词汇知识能够运用”。

在基础知识和交际能力的考查方面，注意覆盖高中阶段教学重点和难点，包括语义的辨析、词语搭配、逻辑结构、语境交际等方面。

三次考试涉及到了名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词或介词短语、连词、三大从句、非谓语动词、动词短语、特殊句式、习语和情景交际等知识点的考查。

考点覆盖面广，关注词汇量的考查，语境清晰，语言简洁，话题时尚。

3. 完形填空主要考查学生对语篇的理解以及在语境中选择恰当的语词完成语篇表达的能力，具体包括语篇理解能力以及在具体语境中准确运用语词的能力。

对于语篇理解能力的考查分两个层面：一是语篇本身一般为学生有些内容熟悉而有些内容不熟悉的语篇，以考查学生的图式建构能力。

二是考查在语篇语境中，学生选择恰当的语词完成短文的能力，学生要理解语篇、词义才能选择恰当的答案，语词选择以语篇图式和词汇词义理解为前提。

You asked for itB. You betC. You have my wordD. You've got me there【答案】B【解析】考查语言交际．A项：你要求的；B项：肯定地；没问题；C项：我保证；D 项：你把我难住了．根据句意：B项正确．故选：B．--你看过节目《朗读者》吗？它在中国激发了对文学的新热情？--肯定地．我全家人都喜欢它．语言交际是灵活多变的，要注意根据语言环境具体问题具体分析．要做好这类题，需从以下三个方面着手：1．仔细审题，明确大意：首先要仔细审题，即在对话不完整的情况下，尽量弄懂该篇对话的大意和情景（如购物、看病、问路和应答、约会、口语应用等）．2．分析对话，试填答案：在解题过程中，要根据具体语境和上下文，分析对话中所缺部分、判断所缺的句子．3．全文复读，融会贯通：在试填好答案之后，应从头至尾再把对话读一遍，按照对话情境，中心内容，推理判断．2.With the help of the Internet，different countries have come together to form acommunity _______ people can share thoughts and global issues．（）A. whoseB. whichC. whereD. when【答案】C【解析】本题考查定语从句．先行词是a community，定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，用where引导定语从句．故选：C．在互联网的帮助下，不同的国家聚集在一起，形成一个人们可以分享思想和全球问题的社区．本题考查定语从句的用法，首先根据句意判断出先行词是什么，指人还是指物，时间还是地点，再分析从句缺少什么成分，缺主宾表，用关系代词，缺状语用关系副词．3. A young person is said to have behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeablydifferent from _______ expected in the school or community．（）A. oneB. onesC. thatD. those【答案】C【解析】分析句子的意思可知，空格处需要使用代词that指代前面的不可数名词his or her behavior，one泛指前面提到的同类事物中的任何一个，ones为复数，和behavior的不可数相矛盾，those也是值得前面提到的同类事物中的多数，也可排除．故选：C．当一个年轻人的行为在学校或者社区里明显与大家期望的有明显差异时，人们通常会说他患有行为紊乱症．指示代词是用来指示或标识人或事物的代词．指示代词与定冠词和人称代词一样，都具有指定的含义，用来起指示作用，或用来代替前面已提到过的名词．指示代词分单数和复数两种形式，既可作限定词又可做代词．要弄清楚它们之间的区别，才能正确选择答案．4.-What do you think makes the TV show Letters Alive a big hit？-_______ the kind of humanity behind every letter touches the heartstrings of theaudience．（）A. ThatB. WhatC. WhetherD. Because【答案】A【解析】根据问句可知答语部分是这句话的主语从句，从句内容和成分都是完整的，用that引导主语从句，而且that不能省略．故选：A．--你认为是什么让电视节目《见字如面》大受欢迎的？--每封信背后的人性触动了观众的心弦．本题考查名词性从句，首先判断属于哪种名词性从句，再判断从句缺少什么成分，如果缺少主宾表，用what，不缺少成分和意思用that，缺少疑问词根据句意判断．5._______ you have a vision for the future，your future is threatened to be a repeat of thepast．（）A. IfB. WhileC. UnlessD. Once【答案】C【解析】分析句中的意思和结构可知，该句为一个条件状语从句，用unless来引导比较合适；虽然once和if也可引导条件状语从句，但是它们的意思分别是"一旦"和"如果"，与语境不符，可排除；while意为"当……的时候"或者"然而"，多用来引导时间或比较状语从句．故选：C．如果你对未来没有远景，你的未来恐怕只会是对过去的重复．本题考查条件状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结合语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项短语的意思．6. A former Chinese soldier，who _______ in India for half a century，flew home to Chinaon February 11，2017．（）A. trappedB. had trappedC. has been trappedD. had been trapped【答案】D【解析】根据句中的结构可知，who引导的为一个非限制性定语从句，用来修饰句子的主语A former Chinese soldier，而主句中的时态为一般过去时（flew），定语从句中的时态为主句时态之前的动作行为，即过去的过去，所以使用过去完成时，可排除A和C；而引导词who（A former Chinese soldier）和trap之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，要用被动语态，可排除B．故选：D．有一个以前的中国士兵，在印度被困了半个世纪，于2017年的2月11日飞回中国，回到家中．本句考查的是时态及语态的正确运用．过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即"过去的过去"．7.Problem-focused strategies are those _______ at doing something to change the problemcausing the stress．（）A. aimedB. to aimC. being aimedD. having aimed【答案】A【解析】根据句意可知这里使用非谓语动词作定语，those指代the strategies，和aim是被动关系，用过去分词作定语．故选：A．以问题为中心的策略是那些旨在改变导致压力的问题的策略．本题考查过去分词作定语的用法，首先要根据句意判断这里需要非谓语动词，然后根据非谓语动词和修饰词的关系确定用哪种形式的非谓语．8.Teenage girl Wu Yishu won the final round of Chinese Poetry Conference's second season，_______ from 100 poetry enthusiasts．（）A. working outB. dropping outC. checking outD. standing out【答案】D【解析】考查动词短语的辨析．work out想出，得到（解决方法）；计算出，解出（数学题答案）；锻炼；健身；drop

to Regift During Holiday Season Let us just go thereThree quarters of Americans think it's OK to recycle gifts，according to a recent survey．With a bit of skills，regifts can be just as personal as newly purchased ones．Here's how to pull off the swap and have no one，including the happy second recipient，be the wiser．First，say thank youBe gracious to the original gift giver．If you know you'd like to exchange an item，you can simply ask where it was purchased．Many stores will accept a return without a receipt．Know your limitFamily heirlooms （传家宝），handmade gifts，and anything else a relative or best friend might ask you to wear or show off in the future are all poor candidates for your regifting closet．And never regift presents just to get rid of them．Mark any item you consider a potential regift with a sticky note stating who gave it to you and for what occasion；then it'll be ready for the right person．Does it make sense？Choose an item that is in great condition and worth owning，but just wasn't for you．It might be perfect for someone else．Think clothing that isn't your style but would look terrific on your friend，or a kitchen appliance you already own and know your aunt has hoped for．Make it uniqueRepackage your gift to make it even more special．For example，if you're regifting a coffee-table cookbook，include a piece of kitchenware to go with it．Double-check the giftAlways unwrap the gift completely and rewrap it for the new occasion．That way you can make sure there aren't hidden notes，engravings，monograms，or pieces of wrapping paper attached．Also check for tags，receipts，and anything else inside the packaging that might embarrass both you and the recipient．16.When regifting，you can choose an item that ______ ．A. was newly boughtB. was handed down to youC. is of practical useD. you want to get rid of17.Why should you check the gift before regifting？______A. To confirm the giver．B. To ensure its value．C. To make it unique．D. To avoid embarrassment．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D【解析】1．C．细节题．根据Does it make sense？中的Choose an item that is in great condition and worth owning，but just isn't for you．可知转赠礼品的时候，选择一个非常有实用的是非常重要的，结合选项，故选C．2．D．细节题．根据Double-check the gift中的Also check for tags，receipts，and anything else inside the packaging that might embarrass both you and the recipient．可知检查礼物是为了避免尴尬的情况的发生，结合选项，故选D．本文章主要讲述了如何在节日到来的时候选择合适的礼物转赠给朋友，并给出了一些建议．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．BA conversation in which neither party is listening to the other was classified as a "duologue" by Abraham Kaplan，a philosopher who died in 1993．A duologue，he suggested，is more than a monologue but less than a dialogue．Multiply a duologue by a roomful of people，he jokingly added，and you have a conference．Two psychologists have now given his ideas some substance，by showing that people do indeed often fail to notice when the conversations they are engaged in have been temporarily reduced to nonsense．Bruno Galantucci of Yeshiva University in New York and Gareth Roberts of Haskins Laboratories in New Haven，Connecticut，are interested in how and why languages evolve．The mainstream view of why people communicate is that they are trying to transmit information faithfully．The "information" may not be true，of course．But even lies，this view holds，are told with the hope they will be understood．Sometimes faithful transmission is indeed the intention，as when a pilot communicates，according to strict rules，with a control tower．According to Dr Galantucci and Dr Roberts，however，transmitting information efficiently takes a lot of effort and is the exception rather than the rule．In normal conversation，they report in a paper in PLOS ONE，people are surprisingly deaf to incoherence．They demonstrated this by asking pairs of student volunteers to chat using aninstant-messaging program．These volunteers，who had never met，did so sitting in separate rooms．They were given the task of identifying the differences in colour between two versions of a cartoon （each could see only one version）．Unbeknown to them，though，another pair were performing the same task at the same time，with a different cartoon．While the two conversations were going on，the researchers switched between them so that a student would suddenly and without warning find himself chatting to someone from the other pair．There were four such crossings during the 15-minute experimental period，each lasting 30 seconds．Afterwards the volunteers were asked to establish if they had noticed anything strange about their conversation．Having repeated the experiment with variations to allow for the fact that students whovolunteer for psychology experiments tend to be cautious of dirty tricks，Dr Galantucci and Dr Roberts reported that between 27% and 42% of participants did not notice that their conversations had been switched．Instead，those participants had simply talked in a confused way regardless．Of course，exchanging instant messages is not quite the same as talking，so the two researchers have not definitively proved that many dialogues are actually duologues．But this research certainly adds to the suspicion that even supposedly purposeful communication often isn't．18.According to Abraham Kaplan，a duologue ______ ．A. can ruin a conferenceB. often occurs among a crowd of peopleC. provides instant feedbackD. is an inattentive conversation between people19.It's generally believed that people communicate to ______ ．A. lead others to believe liesB. explore the faithful informationC. convey information to each otherD. distinguish faithful information from lies20.The underlined word "incoherence" in Paragraph 2 means something that ______ ．A. speakers can't express preciselyB. goes off the subject of the conversationC. is abstract and difficult to understandD. speakers don't prepare listeners to understand21.What can we learn from the psychology experiments？______A. More than half of the subjects talked in a confused way．B. It takes a lot of effort to convey information clearly．C. People are able to realize the nonsense in their communication．D. The experiments prove that purposeful communication doesn't exist．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】C 【小题3】B 【小题4】B【解析】1．D．细节题．根据第一段的第一句和第二句"A conversation in which neither party is listening to the other was classified as a ‘duologue' by Abraham Kaplan，a philosopher who died in 1993．A duologue，he suggested，is more than a monologue but less than a dialogue．" 可知，"duologue"是交谈双方注意力不集中的谈话．结合选项，故选D．2．C．细节题．根据第二段第二句"The mainstream view of why people communicate is that they are trying to transmit information faithfully．"可知，人们交流的目的是如实地传达信息．结合选项，故选C．3．B．词义猜测题．根据第二段的最后两句"According to Dr Galantucci and Dr Roberts，however，transmitting information efficiently takes a lot of effort and is the exception rather than the rule．In normal conversation ⋅⋅⋅ people are surprisingly deaf to incoherence．"可知，人们在正常的交谈中丝毫不能察觉到没有逻辑的内容，即偏离交谈主题的内容，incoherence表示"偏离主题，没有连贯性，无逻辑性"．结合选项，故选B．4．B．推理题．根据文章最后一句But this research certainly adds to the suspicion that even supposedly purposeful communication often isn't．可知，这一研究确实加深了一种猜测，那就是即使是据称有目的交流往往也并非如此．这进一步证明了第二段的一个观点：transmitting information efficiently takes a lot of effort and is the exception rather than the rule．故选B项．本文是一篇科普说明文．主要介绍了关于"duologue"现象的研究．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．COne of the most popular English-language novels of the 20th century is almost unknown in the English-speaking world - a global phenomenon in translation，now neglected in its original form．The Gadfly，by Irish writer Ethel Voynich，was sold over 5 million copies in 107 editions in the 22 languages spoken in the Soviet Union．The book inspired seven musical adaptations，five theatre adaptations，and five film adaptations．Voynich's novel is a thrilling account of revolutionary enthusiasm，religious devotion，clerical betrayal and romantic love - the philosopher Bertrand Russell called it "one of the most exciting novels I have read"．It was published in New York in 1897，two years after its completion，as its English publisher feared a negative reaction - one reviewer criticized the book's "shocking and horrible character"．A translation appeared the following year in Russia，where the tsarist （沙皇）authorities' disapproval only enhanced its popularity．The Gadfly is set in Italy during the revolutionary unrest of the 1830s and 40s．The hero is a young Englishman，Arthur Burton，who moves to a Catholic seminary （神学院）after the death of his mother．There he becomes devoted to his guardian and mentor Montanelli，who，unknown to him，is also his biological father．In the company of his childhood sweetheart Gemma，Arthur becomes involved in the Young Italy movement fighting Austrian imperial rule．But he unconsciously betrays his comrades，after his private confession （忏悔）is relayed to the police．He then discovers his family secret，and loses all faith in the church．Arthur pretends his suicide and escapes to South America，where he endures years of suffering．He returns to Italy in the guise of ‘The Gadfly'，a fearless and respected revolutionary whose true identity is masked．After his capture，he is visited by Montanelli，now a cardinal （红衣教主），who offers him a lifeline．But Arthur，unforgiving and uncompromising，demands that his father reject the church．Montanelli refuses and condemns his son to death．Arthur，now a Christ-like figure，commands his own death penalty．At the Corpus Christi mass，Montanelli dies of a broken heart．①．The novel gained popularity initially in Ireland．Yet it was in the newly-created Communist states of the Soviet Union and China that the book found its most dedicated readership．Arthur，a Romantic tragic hero，was repeatedly voted Russia's most popular literary figure，and astronauts Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova，the first man and woman in space，credited its influence．②．In the 1930s，The Gadfly inspired another bestseller．Nikolai Ostrovsky's How the Steel Was Tempered sold 35 million copies in the Soviet Union．Ostrovsky's socialist realist novel features a fearless young communist who suffers dreadfully for his sacrifices，but finds permanent strength in the example of The Gadfly，which he reads to his fellow comrades．Voynich's novel was reinforced further by a 1955 film adaptation directed by Aleksandr Faintsimmer．It sold 39 million tickets．③．Ethel Voynich had been living unknown to the public．And due to Soviet copyright laws，she was unaware of her legendary status in Russia．In 1956，Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson visited Moscow to arrange for payment of her long-overdue royalties （版权费）．When Ethel died in 1960，she was mourned in Russia as a national hero．④．Arthur offers a "careful balance of emotion with steely determination" - he is a lover anda fighter，which can be seen in the ‘knight-errant' （侠客）of traditional Chinese folklore．In the UK，The Gadfly remains out of print and almost unknown，yet around the world readers and writers still revere its author，just as DH Lawrence，Rebecca West and Friedrich Engels once did．With its rich religious imagery and stirring revolutionary themes，The Gadfly has a lasting appeal for lovers of historical fiction，and deserves to be rediscovered in its original language．22.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us？______A. The background of the novel．B. Its popularity in the Soviet Union．C. An abnormal phenomenon in translation．D. The artistic achievement of the novel．23.Why does Arthur escape to South America？______A. He fails to fight Austrian imperial rule．B. He can't tolerate his family．C. He doesn't succeed in committing suicide．D. He is to be punished by the police．24.The underlined word "revere" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______ ．A. saluteB. pleaseC. imitateD. condemn25.What can we know about the novel The Gadfly from the passage？______A. It has been translated into 22 languages around the world．B. It is unfamiliar to the British due to its horrible characters．C. It receives a negative reaction in the English-speaking world．D. It was completed in 1899 and is one of the most popular novels．26.What makes the novel The Gadfly have the most dedicated readers in the Soviet Union？______A. Nikolai Ostrovsky's novel．B. The fearless and respected hero．C. Musical and theater adaptations．D. Soviet copyright laws．27.Where should the sentence "The Gadfly found its largest audience in China" be put in thepassage？______A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 4【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】A 【小题4】C 【小题5】B 【小题6】D【解析】1．B．段落大意题．根据第一段的内容"One of the most popular English-language novels of the 20th century is almost unknown in the English-speaking world - a global phenomenon in translation，now neglected in its original form．"可知，本段主要介绍的是这部小说在苏联广受欢迎．故选B项．2．D．细节理解题．根据第三段中的"But he unconsciously betrays his comrades，after his private confession（忏悔）is relayed to the police．"可知，亚瑟在不经意间背叛了他的同伴，之后他的私人忏悔被传到了警方耳中．由此可知，他之所以逃往南美洲是因为他将要被警方惩罚．故选D项．3．A．词义猜测题．根据文章最后一段可知，这部小说虽然在英国几乎无人知晓，但世界范围内的其他读者和作家却十分敬重小说的作者．故选A项．4．C．细节理解题．根据第一段第一句可知，作为20世纪最受欢迎的英文小说之一，《牛虻》在讲英语的国家落得几乎无人问津的田地；再由第二段中的"It was published inNew York in 1897…as its English publisher feared a negative reaction"可知，这部小说完成两年后才在纽约出版，因为出版商害怕出现负面的反应．由此可知，在说英语的世界里，这部小说得到的是负面的反应．故选C项．5．B．推理判断题．根据第四段的"He returns to Italy in the guise of ‘The Gadfly'，a fearless and respected revolutionary whose true identity is masked．"和第五段的"Arthur，a Romantic tragic hero，was repeatedly voted Russia's most popular literary figure"可知，这部小说在苏联受欢迎的原因是其主人公是一个勇敢无畏且受人尊敬的人．故选B项．6．D．篇章结构题．根据倒数第二段中的"…which can be seen in the ‘Knight-errant'（侠客） of traditional Chinese folklore．"可知，此句应该填在第四空．故选D项．本文主要介绍了文学巨著《牛虻》的故事情节及其巨大的影响力．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．DWeather is a famously boring conversation starter-until you drop a name like Sandy，Katrina，Juno，or Irene．Even without a hurricane or "snowmageddon" on the horizon，weather reports on channels like CNN have high viewer ratings．Sometimes，the Weather Channel itself beats the rest of the competition．But why are people so fascinated by storms，even when they're nowhere near them？When the weather turns bad，why can't we look away，even after we've gotten the information we need to get through it？We may be addicted to the danger．Humans didn't evolve to be safe，risk-minimizing citizens；because our early experiences involved constantly dangerous conditions，we developed a certain baseline expectation of risk．Even if you stayed inside your camp or your cave，the world was full of unpredictable，potentially dangerous things．And actively taking risks could be rewarded；that might have been the only way to get food．In the modern environment，we aren't exposed to natural risks in the same way．But the underlying neural mechanisms haven't gone anywhere．Some people have a natural bent for high-risk situations．They run extreme races，BASE jump，or invest in changeable stocks．Most of us，though，enjoy a certain thrill without losing our heads．We like roller coasters．We'll ski the black-diamond trail but may not go off track．It's a phenomenon that the sociologist Stephen Lyng calls edgework．We feel like we're living on the edge，but we know that there's a safety net．Edgework is precisely what extreme weather is．A winter storm - or any storm，really - approximates this thrill．It's powerful and even dangerous．But safely settled inside and in front of our computer screens，we don't think it will really hurt us．The power might go out，but then we would be able to share a picture of a car buried in a snowdrift．And then，soon，it will be over．You will have had the thrill，and you might have gained control over it by capturing a moment of "danger，" but in all，it seems a relatively minor risk．We satisfy our inner risk seeker without going into dangerous territory．As for the people on the West Coast who followed the winter storm Juno in 2015 as eagerly as any New Yorker or Bostonian，risk can well be experienced vicariously （代理地）．We stay glued to forecasts of gloom and doom for the same reason we watch the latest X Games．They capture our attention and emotion．The media know this all too well．There is one major exception：those who have suffered an extreme weather catastrophe in the past．We learn differently from description than from experience．If you were in arecord-breaking storm in the past and nothing bad happened，you will likely dismiss thecurrent danger．But if you experienced a major loss-the destruction of a house，say，or a multiweek-long loss of power-you likely won't do much rubbernecking this time．Unlike everyone else，you realize the danger probably isn't worth massive media coverage．28.Which of the following is true about edgework mentioned in the passage？______A. People won't take any risk without consideration．B. Taking risks has been a type of lifestyle in people's life．C. People tend to expect the arrival of extreme weather．D. Facing danger can satisfy people's inner desire for risk．29.What can be inferred from the passage？______A. Evolution of human beings weakens people's awareness of taking risks．B. People who once suffered from storms show less curiosity about them．C. The contents from the media lead to people being addicted to the danger．D. People on the West Coast with New Yorkers went through the winter storm Juno．30.What is the best title for the passage？______A. Why we love super-stormsB. How extreme weather influences our lifeC. Why people like taking riskD. How we deal with weather forecast【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】A【解析】1-3 ABA1．A．细节理解题．根据"In the modern environment，we aren't exposed to natural risks in the same way．But the underlying neural mechanisms haven't gone anywhere"可知不经过考虑，人们是不会冒任何风险的．故选A．2．B．细节理解题．根据"But if you experienced a major loss-the destruction of a house，say，or a multiweek-long loss of power-you likely won't do much rubbernecking this time．Unlike everyone else，you realize the danger probably isn't worth massive media coverage．"可知曾经遭受过暴风雨的人对它们的好奇心也会减弱．故选B．3．A．推理判断题．根据"But why are people so fascinated by storms，even when they're nowhere near them？When the weather turns bad，why can't we look away，even after we've gotten the information we need to get through it？"可知"Why we love super-storms为什么我们爱超级风暴"是本文最好的题目．故选A．本文是一篇人生感悟类阅读，文章主要介绍了为什么我们爱超级风暴，简单说明了曾经遭受过暴风雨的人对它们的好奇心也会减弱．此题主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．三、任务型阅读（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）31.We all know what makes for good character in soldiers．We've seen the movies aboutheroes who display courage，loyalty and coolness under fire．But what about somebody who sits in front of a keyboard all day？Is it possible to display and cultivate character if you are just an information age office clerk，alone with a memo or your computer？Of course it is．Even if you are alone in your office，you are thinking．Thinking well under an era of information may be a different sort of moral challenge than fighting well under a hail of bullets，but it's a character challenge nonetheless．In their book，Intellectual Virtues，Robert C．Roberts of Baylor University and W．Jay Wood of Wheaton College。
