安徽省芜湖市2017届高三5月教学质量检测（高考模拟）英语试题一、阅读选择1. A scientist believes he has discovered a direct link between people's favourite sleeping position and their personality. Professor Chris Idzikowski has described six different positions and what each one says about a person's character. The professor, who did the research for a hotel group, said, "We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our position says about us when we are asleep. "At the moment, Professor Idzikowski is trying to sleep in a yoga position that involves crossing your legs around your neck. He says there is no perfect position for sleeping.1. THE STARFISH"Starfish" sleep flat on their back with their arms raised. They are good listeners who make friends easily but do not like to be the centre or the attention.2. THE YEARNER"Yearners" sleep on their side with their arms raised. They are doubtful and have a very sensible approach to life.3. THE FOETUSThe most popular position, particularly among women. They sleep curled（蜷缩）up on their side, holding on to the pillow. They appear to be tough but are actually sensitive and shy.4. THE FREEFALLEROnly 6.5% of people prefer to sleep on their front, making this the least popular sleeping position."Freefallers" seem very confident, although this hides a nervous personality.5. THE LOGThe "log" position is similar to the "yearner" but with arms by the sides. "Logs" are easy-going and sociable, but can be seen as too gullible, easily to be victims.6. THE SOLDIER"Soldiers", who sleep on their back with their arms by their sides, are quiet and reserved. They set high standards for themselves and do not like noisy social situations.（1）Which of the following sayings about the sleeping position is correct?A "Starfish" like to be the focus of the attention.B "Yearners" sleep on their back with their arms raised.C "Foetus" seem to be strong but sensitive.D "Soldiers" sleep on their side with their arms by their sides.（2）Which sleeping position suggests a seemingly confident but nervous personality?A "Starfish".B "Freefaller".C "Log".D "Soldier".（3）What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A People's sleeping position determines their personality.B People don't know their body language when awake.C The yoga sleeping position is the best one.D Professor Idzikowski shows great interest in sleeping positions.（4）What does the underlined word "gullible" mean in paragraph 6?A Easily tricked.B Easily approached.C Easily satisfied.D Easily annoyed.2. If you go to the Rehabilitation Institute in Chicago, you will see someone working to help patients．The job, which takes patience and skills, helps people do more．These persons are Physical Therapists．And I'm glad to be one of them．I work closely with people who have hurt themselves．Their injuries may be as mild as having a painful shoulder, knee or back, or as severe as having paralyzed legs and/or arms．It's my job to evaluate what their problems are and come up with ways help make them better and stronger．I need to be able communicate well with people of all ages and backgrounds every day．I need to be able to talk to people I've never met and ask them personal questions that help me to understand what is wrong with them．I chose to go into physical therapy because I love to be with people and talk with them．I decided that I didn't want to use the computer all day or answer the telephone or be in a lab doing experiments．To prepare to become a Physical Therapist, I had to finish college and then went to graduate school for 3 years, attaining the master degree．In that time, I learned all the muscles in the body and all the organs and how they work．I mastered as much as possible in biology, chemistry, math, physics, physiology and psychology．What I like about my job is that it is always very interesting and never boring．I like that I am never alone but surrounded by people all the time．They tell me that I have made a difference in their lives and when I go home at night, I know that I have touched someone else's life and they appreciate the work I did for them．（1）According to the text，what dose a Physical Therapist do？________A Curing patients of their severe diseases．B Helping patients know more about the hospital．C Offering tips to make patients better in their life．D Making patients solve their problems independently．（2）What dose a person need most to be a Physical Therapist？________A Good communication ability．B Good experimenting ability．C Good computer ability．D Good observing ability．（3）What can we know about the author？________A The author just finished his college．B The author acquired all﹣round knowledge．C The author thinks his job is boring．D The author likes doing experiments．3. In most parts of Britain, the black cat is a symbol of good luck and owning a black cat may bring good luck to the family． But recently, black cats can no longer enjoy so much favor．The British Royal for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals （英国防止虐待动物协会）announced a rise in the number of black cats being abandoned by their owners, due to not looking good in selfies （自拍）． According to the RSPCA, more than 70 percent of the cats in its care are black． The biggest reason for that is black cats tend not to photograph astheir lighter and brighter﹣colored fellows with more obvious markings． An RSPCA spokesman said, "This has become a national problem． And we are urging people to never judge a cat by its color but look at its personality instead．"The Millwood Cat Rescue Centre has taken in nice black cats in the past two weeks． The founder of the rescue centre said, "We have had a lot of black cats because people don't like black at the moment．Other look at the black cats and then just say ‘________'? "Animal lover Gabriella Fletcher owns a 16﹣year﹣old black cat, Susie． She regularly takes selfies with her pet． She said, "It is hard to get a good picture as you can't really see how beautiful Susie is． She is just as special as any other cat．"（1）Why are black cats less favored by people？________A They are rising in number．B They don't bring good luck anymore．C They are banned by RSPCA．D They don't look good in photos．（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply？________A People want more black cats．B People want to have something to eat．C People want more pet animals．D People are unwilling to see so many black cats．（3）In Gabriella Fletcher's eyes， black cats are________．A disgusting．B unlucky．C ordinary．D attractive．（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this text？________A Black cats out in "selfies"．B Black cats abandoned in the UK．C Black cats in need of caring．D Black cats favored again．4. The key avoiding a cold be as simple as keeping your nose warm with a scarf when you go outside in winter.Research shows that low temperatures make it harder for the body to fight off the virus that causes half of the colds in adults and almost all colds in children.The finding backs up the popular idea that people are more likely to catch a cold if they feel freezing,perhaps by putting on a coat in winter or going out with wet hair.The U.S. Researchers looked at how well rhinovirus（鼻病毒）,the biggest cause of the common cold,grew in cells kept at different temperatures.The virus found it easier to breed （繁殖）at 33℃-the sort of temperature typically found inside the nose-than at the 37℃ found deep inside the body.Researchers also found that the body’s initial imm une response（免疫反应）to the cold did not work as well at 33℃,the same temperatures.The virus was followed to cause damage.The experiments were carried out on cells taken from mice,but the result may also be relevant to humans-including the one in five who carry the rhinovirus in their nose at any given time.Ron Eccles,a leading British expert on the common cold,suggests that those anxious to avoid a cold try taking vitamin D because we tend to be low on it during the winter.（1）Which of the following is more likely to cause a cold?A Wrapping a scarf around the nose in winter.B Putting on a coat in winter.C Going out with wet hair.D Taking vitamin（2）What is the percentage of people who carry the rhinovirus in their nose at any given time?A 10%.B 20%C 50%D 80%（3）Why does Ron Eccles suggest taking vitamin D in winter to avoid a cold?A Because human bodies contain less vitamin D in winter.B Because human bodies contain more vitamin D in winter.C Because many people avoid taking vitaminD in winter. D Because many people favor vitamin D in winter.（4）What can be learned from the text?A It is easier for the body to fight off cold virus in low temperatures.B The finding may be easily accepted by the public.C The typical temperature inside the nose is37℃. D The virus is very likely to do harm at 37℃.二、七选五5.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。

As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.24.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s ________.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell25.Babies are sensitive to the change in ________.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects26.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.27.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CGiven that many people's moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.The CRF's produce is "green", made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆).cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocol ate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela ,and Ghana, among others.28.What is good about chocolate?A. It serves as a suitable gift.B. It works as an effective medicine.C. It helps improve the state of mind.D. It strengthens business relations.29.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A. He knows the importance of research.B. He learns from shops of similar types.C. He has the support of many big namesD. He has a lot of marketing experience.30.Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A. The Connoisseur Series.B. The Exotic Series.C. The Alcohol Series.D. The Sichuan Series.31.The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people whoA. are particular about chocolateB. know little about cocoa beansC. look down upon othersD. like to try new flavorsDDoes Fame Drive Y ou Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream coming true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves theway their fans imagine them, not as the persons they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is that there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.32.It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.

Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.34.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.35.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.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。
