英语高考模拟卷一、阅读选择1.阅读理解There were no people on the park bench as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old willow tree, with good reasons to sigh, for the world was dragging me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!〞In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I managed a smile and then turned to the other side.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and said firmly and clearly, “It really smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it. Here it's for you.〞The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.〞But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.I heard my voice quiver (轻微颤抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “You're welcome.〞And then he ran off to play, not knowing the influence he'd had on me.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on, I promised to see beauty and appreciate every second. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.〔1〕When she sat down to read on the bench, the author ________.A.felt relaxed and peacefulB.wanted to have a friend keeping her companyC.felt upset and unhappy with her lifeD.felt proud to have overcome the difficulties in life〔2〕Why did the author decide to take the flower at first?A.Because she was really moved by the boy.B.Because she didn't want to hurt the young boy.C.Because she thought the flower was really beautiful.D.Because she didn't like being upset by the boy any more.〔3〕The boy gave the flower to the author probably because ________.A.he didn't like it any moreB.he wanted to give the author a lessonC.he realized the author was unhappyD.he was sure the author would be happy with it〔4〕Which of the following can best describe the boy?A.Handsome and intelligent.B.Kind and optimistic.C.Curious and sensitive.D.Independent and active.2.阅读理解Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago,the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining,the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market,the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse,its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years until a new CEO,Carl Pearson,decided to build up its market share. He did a survey,which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain's owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy's restaurants. Pearson resisted,arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success,rather than customers' spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product,the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example,he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额).These efforts paid off,and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.〔1〕Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.C.It was in need of financial support.D.Most of its restaurants were closed.〔2〕What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Customers of Sparrow restaurants.B.Sparrow restaurants.C.Customers of other fast-food chains.D.Other fast-food chains.〔3〕For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A.To build a good relationship with the public.B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C.To learn about customers' spending power.D.To meet the challenge from Marcy's restaurants.〔4〕What was Pearson's achievement as a CEO?A.He managed to pay off Sparrow's debts.B.He made Sparrow much more competitive.C.He helped Sparrow take over a company.D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.3.阅读理解Richard Dermer is a pizza shop owner. But he is better known for his hobby. As a extraordinary kite collector, people are impressed by kites covering the walls from all over the world when they walk into his pizza shop.Dermer worked at Hideaway. He bought the pizza shop in 1960. Then, in 1970, his game-partner and manager at Hideaway was the first to market the Japanese version of the game Go in the United States. It was this game that led Dermer to kites, and from there he took off—eventually becoming president of the American Kiefliers Association.Dermer now has a huge kite collection. He told Collectors Weekly, “Initially, I was a novice, but I enjoyed learning, trying to acquire more about kites. And the more I got into kite festivals and collecting kites, the more I discovered and the deeper the subject became.〞What Dermer's collection and hobby brings to the United States is an international perspective and history on kite flying. In India, for example, kite flying is a fierce, sometimes violent sport, while in Thailand, kite battles reflect the war of the sexes between men and women. Kites were used in World War II, to distract German planes and for target practice.When Dermer started stunt kite (特技风筝), it was pretty new. All the kites were triangular, and they all looked the same. But soon with his efforts, that changed. People could see kites of all shapes, sizes and colors flying in the sky. During the 1980s and 1990s kites went through quite a developmental stage where they were getting better and better as new lighter, stronger materials were being developed. Dermer even set up the new rules for judging these stunt kite competitions, which take into account how much control the flier has, and the difficulty of the moves.〔1〕What is Richard Dermer's occupation?A.A plane pilot.B.A food businessman.C.A kite seller.D.A sales manager.〔2〕What does the underlined word “novice〞in paragraph 3 mean?A.Advanced person.B.Learned person.C.Inexperienced person.D.Well-known person.〔3〕What can we learn about the kites from paragraph 4?A.Kites are not popular in the USA.B.Flying kites is illegal in Thailand.C.Kites played a part in World War II.D.Flying kites is an interesting sport in India.〔4〕With the efforts of Richard Dermer, kites became ________.A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.The event happened in the early rooming hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn't take that.〞The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?〞“I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back.〞the President said.The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.〞“Are you President Coolidge?〞he asked.The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over.〞Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I'll take this and leave everything else.〞Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款).He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.〞The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.〔1〕Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?A.Because the former President was still living in the White House.B.Because the former First Lady hadn't left the White House.C.Because the First Lady liked to live there.D.Because he liked there.〔2〕The young man and his roommate went back to the college ________.A.by airB.by waterC.by busD.by train〔3〕What is NOT the character of President Coolidge?A.Considerate.B.Kind.C.Generous.D.Selfish.〔4〕Which of the following might happen afterwards?A.The young student repaid the $32.B.The thief was put into prison.C.The President told many reporters the thief's name.D.The President ordered the young man to repay the money.二、任务型阅读P eople asked Edison, “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it?〞His answer was, “I really never caught ant fish because I have never used any bait (诱饵).〞Another question followed, “Why would you fish without bait?〞〞Sometimes the world's best inventor was the world's worst fisherman. In fact, because Edison was the world's worst fisherman, he could become the world's greatest inventor.Are you setting aside some time for yourself to think?________ Here are some ideas for you:Slowing down and taking long showers is a good idea.________Long walks are good too.Afternoon naps have been proved to improve creativity.A. But he never caught any fish.B. It provides me my best time to think.C. So is listening to some soft classical music.D. In all, Edison has thousands of inventions.E. He was asked the reason behind him being a fisherman.F. To make your brain work better, you need to take a rest.G.

由第四段中的for example advising people to express their anger. This advice is wrong, because research shows that expressing your anger actually helps it to continue 可知,自助书籍建议读者要表达自己的愤怒,而研究表明表达愤怒事实上会让愤怒持续,由此可推断,作者并不赞成自助书籍提出的建议。
22. B。
细节理解题。
由第五段中的there’s still the question of whether reading a book will make any difference to people’s lives. In other words: is there any evidence that after reading the advice, people actually put it into practice, resulting in an improvement 可知,作者怀疑自助书籍中提供的建议是否真正会让读者有所改进。
23. A。
推理判断题。
由倒数第三段If self-help books do work, it may have less to do with the specific advice they contain and more to do with a factor common to all self-help books: hope可知,作者认为自助书籍如果有益的话,也是因为它们给予读者希望。

A CD StoreCFOR us humans,one of the greatest experiences is to taste all kinds of delicious food.But for penguins,they cannot get a taste of this happiness.That's because penguins can't actually taste the delicious flavors (味道)of their favorite food-fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组)of five species of penguins.They found that not one can taste umami (鲜味),the flavor of meat or fish,the BBC reported.Many animals have five basic tastes:sweet,sour (酸),salty bitter (苦)and umami.But according to genetic(遗传的)data,penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling.And scientists don't have a good explanation for them.But they have a few ideas.First,one of the umami genes doesn't work in cold temperatures."It's about zero degrees when they eat cold fish," Zhang Jianzhi,the lead scientist,told the Daily Mail,so even if the penguins had a functional(功能的)gene,it might not work when they needed it.Plus,penguins' tongues are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste.Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food,penguins' tongues are extremely spiky (钉⼦似的).This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的)fish than tasting them.One study even showed that some types of penguins don't even have taste buds.,But penguins seem to be managing just fine."Their behavior of swallowing food whole and their tongue structure and function suggest that penguins need no taste perception(知觉)," said Zhang.11.The study finds that ______ .A. different penguins have their own favorite fishB. penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC. penguins can't taste the flavor of fishD. penguins don't have any of the five basic tastes12.Penguins can only taste ______ .A. salty and sourB. sour and sweetC. sweet and saltyD. bitter and umami13.From Paragraph 5,we learn that ______ .A. penguins' umami genes work well in cold temperaturesB. penguins only eat cold fishC. temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsD. the umami genes in penguins would work when needed14.Paragraph 6tells us that ______ .A. a lack of taste is good for penguinsB. penguins' tongues are very spikyC. penguins prefer to eat slippery fishD. there are no taste buds on penguins' tongues15.All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT ______ .A. they always swallow food wholeB. their tongue structure is specialC. their tongue function is differentD. they live in cold temperaturesDMy parents give me an allowance every week.An allowance is the money I earn when I do chores or jobs around the house.There are a lot of things I want to buy with my allowance,but I have to earn it first! There are many ways to earn money.I do chores,make my bed and empty the dishwasher.I also help my parents whenever they ask.My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance,but they say I shouldn't use it up at once.That's why they taught me about budgets (预算).A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future.My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance.I can spend it,save it,or give it away.I want to do all three,so my mom and I make three jars.One is a "spend" jar,one is a "save" jar,and one is a "give" jar.Spend JarThe spend jar is my favorite! I put most of my allowance here.At the end of the month,I count up all my spending money.I use it to buy things and do fun things with my friends.Save JarSometimes,there are things I want,but I don't have enough money.That's what the save jar is for.I put some of my allowance in it.It builds up more and more each week.After a while,I have enough money to buy what I want.Give JarThe last jar is very special.It's the give jar.I donate (捐赠)the money to a charity (慈善)or another good cause.My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place.I like putting my allowance into my three jars.It's fun to see it build up over time! Do you earn an allowance?16.The Chinese meaning of the underlined word "allowance" is ______ .A. 允许B. 零⽤钱C. 承诺D. 费⽤17.There are ______ jars for the writer's money.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four18.For budgets,the writer's parents DIDN'T want him to ______ .A. spend all the money in a short timeB. build up too much moneyC. save the money for things in the futureD. choose how to spend the money19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?______A. The writer's parents have a large amount of money.B. The writer asks his mother to make the three jars.C. The writer donates money in the "spend" jar to a charity.D. There are many ways to get the allowance for the writer.20.We can learn how to according to the passage.______A. use the allowanceB. make three jarsC. help othersD. buy things⼆、完形填空(本⼤题共20⼩题,共20.0分)A friend of mine was sitting in the living room one day when his cat dragged in a little "gift" in its mouth-a dead animal of some sort.Taking a (21)look,he was shocked to recognize the(22)animal to be a bunny(⼩兔⼦)that(23) a little girl next door.Her(24)was Bonny.My friend felt terrible,believing his cat had (25)Bonny's bunny.My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan.(26)from the cat's mouth the dead and dirty animal,he put it in the(27)water,trying to clean up the dead bunny as best he could.(28)he took a hair dryer and blow-dried the bunny (29) it looked pretty good.(30),he took the dead bunny out to the neighbor's rabbit hutch(⼩动物的圈栏)and placed it back in the(31),making it look natural and(32)there.The next (33),he looked out the window and noticed a crowd of people (34)around the rabbit hutch.(35)seemed to be talking and (36)He decided to go over and (37)like any normal curious neighbor and find out (38)was going on.When he got there,Bonny's mother said to my friend,"You won't believe what has(39)!

阅读理解(共两节)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AAt one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca —fought with each other for years.In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area.The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Forty-nine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained self-governing.In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years.Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地).This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”.The Iroquois League's constitution is often called America's first democracy.21.The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“________”.A.sound B.powerC.saying D.speech22.According to the text, the Iroquois League ________.A.consisted of six tribes in the 17th centuryB.became weak after the War of Independence C.helped the Americans defeat the BritishD.was greatly supported by the Americans23.The political system of the Iroquois League ________.A.was ignored by American history expertsB.had nothing to do with the “Bill of Rights”C.influenced the United States ConstitutionD.was entitled “Rights of the People”24.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The Iroquois LeagueB.The American IndiansC.The culture of the IroquoisD.The United States ConstitutionBThe dramatic expansion of industrial agriculture has made it increasingly difficult for small family farmers in the US to stay in business.Instead, the food industry has become dominated by a handful of giant corporations which benefit from government policies that favor large-scale production.Family farmers are being forced out of business at an alarming rate.According to Farm Aid, every week 330 farmers leave their land.As established family farms are shut down, they are not being replaced by new farms and young farmers.Once a family farm is forced out of business, the farmland is often sold for development, and the quality land for farming is lost.________________In addition to producing fresh, high-quality foods, small family farms provide a wealth of benefits for their local communities and regions.Perhaps most importantly, family farmers serve as responsible stewards (管理人) of the land.Unlike industrial agriculture operations, which pollute communities with chemical pesticides, smoke and manure (肥料), small family farmers live on or near their farms and try to protect the surrounding environment for future generations.Independent family farms also play a vital role in rural economies.In addition to providing jobs for local people, family farmers also help support small businesses by purchasing goods and services within their communities.Meanwhile, industrial agriculture operations employ as few workers as possible and typically purchase supplies, equipment, and building materials from outside the local community.Rural areas are then left with high rates of unemployment and very little opportunity for economic growth.What can you do?Purchase food directly from your local family farmers at a farmers' market, or through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system.Ask the manager of your grocery store to supply foods produced at local family farms.Donate money to Farm Aid.Since 1985, this non-profit organization has worked to support America's family farmers.25.We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.A.American agriculture is facing a downturnB.the American government is limiting industrial agricultureC.the American food industry has difficulty meeting customers' needsD.American family farmers are facing serious problems26.What would be the best title to be put in the blank?A.Why are family farms important?B.What does industrial agriculture bring?C.How are family farms run?D.What supports rural economies?27.According to the passage, industrial agriculture has all the following disadvantages EXCEPT ________.A.polluting the environmentB.taking up too much

My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. Ihad a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a light-hearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing I'm singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.33.The underli ned part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.unsuccessful B.unrelatedC.uninteresting D.unexpected34.In the author's opinion, ________.A.a bath can make people relaxedB.depression is usually caused by hard workC.walking in a busy city centre harms people's healthD.it's good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are in low spirits35.The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) ________.A.explanation B.suggestionC.introduction D.reminder第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
