2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高三（上）期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________I、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)1.We need to master this technology immediately，______ we will fall behind．（）A.butB.orC.soD.and【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据句意，"We need to master this technology immediately""我们必须掌握技术"可知，"or"意为"否则的话"符合题意．"but"表示转折，so意为因此，and并列连词．我们需要立即掌握这个技术，否则我们会落后．考查连词，考生需联系上下文做出判断．2.---Jack，you look so great！---Thanks!I have lost 20pounds since I ______ my personal trainer six months ago．（）A.hired B.have hired C.hire D.had hired【答案】A【解析】答案是A．考查动词的时态，由于这是一个由since引导的时间状语从句，故主句用一般过去时，从句用现在完成时．根据句意，可知答案选A…-Jack你真棒．-谢谢！自从六个月前我聘请了我的私人教练，我已经见到了20磅了．高考题目对时态的考查是重点，谓语动词要与时间状语保持一致，时态与时间是密不可分的，各种时态却要受到时间和语言环境的限制，根据题干提供的时间或者时间状语体现的时间来判断句子的时态是最直接的解题方法，扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解至关重要3.______ my father doesn't say a lot in daily life，he gives me much love and affection．（）A.BecauseB.WhenC.AlthoughD.If【答案】C【解析】答案C．because"因为"，引导原因状语从句．when"在…时候"，引导时间状语从句．although"尽管，虽然"，引导让步状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．分析可知前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"让步"关系，再结合句子所表达的意思可知答案选C．虽然我的父亲在日常生活中言语不多，但他给了我很多的爱和关怀．本题考查从属连词的用法．连词的用法辨析，要注意分析主从句之间的逻辑关系，再确定相应的连词，同时注意不同的连词的语义及用法区别．4.Yesterday we went to the library to do some reading，only to find that it ______．（）A.had closedB.had been closedC.wil closeD.will be closed【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据时间状语Yesterday可知，是指过去的事实，而图书馆关门应该是在我们去之前，所以为过去的过去，应该使用过去完成时，而it与close之间我逻辑上的动宾关系，需要使用被动语态；故选B．昨天，我们去图书馆读书，却发现图书馆早已经关门了．过去完成时态表示过去的过去，时间状语是过去的参照时间．和现在完成时态不同的是，现在完成时态的参照时间是现在．学习时，要注意区分．5.Helen ran out of the classroom in tears，but no one knew ______ she was so sad．（）A.whenB.whetherC.thatD.why【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据no one knew 说明后面整句是宾语从句，结合句意，海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．因此宾语从句she was so sad缺原因状语，故选D海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．本题考查宾语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型基础上便能选出正确答案．6.The traffic in Beijing will be better when Subway Line 16 ______ into service．（）A.would be putB.was putC.will be putD.is put【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查被动语态．根据句意判断，"Subway Line 16"和"put"之间是被动关系；由主句的将来时判断，Subway Line 16是将被投入使用，排除A和B；该句是when 引导的时间状语从句，时间状语从句中往往用一般现在时表示将来，故选D．当16号地铁投入使用后北京的交通将会好转．本题考查被动语态，要分析主语和动词之间的关系，联系动词本身的特定用法；在掌握被动结构的基本形式"be/get+过去分词"的基础上理解不同时态的被动语态的结构，最后进行综合判断．7.---Henry，can you go to the concert tonight？---I'm afraid I can't．I will give the ticket to ______ wants to enjoy it．（）A.someoneB.whomeverC.everyoneD.whoever【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据I will give the ticket to，说明后面整句是介词后的宾语从句，而宾语从句wants to enjoy it可知句子不完整，缺主语成分，whomever无论是谁，作宾语，排除B，选项AC后应加who，定语从句，故选D．---亨利，你今晚去听音乐会吗？---我恐怕不能．我将把票给无论是谁想要欣赏音乐会的人．本题考查宾语从句，在在充分分析句型基础上，同时熟知疑问词加ever及定语从句的基础上便不难选出此题答案．8.In December of 2015，the Second World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen，______ theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace．（）A.whoseB.whichC.whenD.where【答案】A【解析】答案A根据句子分析可知，___theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace是非限制性定语从句，可知在从句中缺少定语，故用whose，表示"…的"，根据句意，可知选A．2015年12月份，第二届世界互联网大会在温州举行，它的主题是维护网络安全和稳定．本题考查非限制性定语从句．考生需掌握非限制性定语从句的特征并结构具体语境做出判断．9.______ your own needs is as important as learning to express your emotions．（）A.UnderstandB.UnderstandingC.UnderstoodD.Having understood【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查动名词做主语．分析句子结构发现，谓语动词is前______ your own needs 在句中充当主语，而动词能充当主语的形式是动名词和动词不定式，A是动词原形，C是过去分词或过去式，都不能做主语，所以排除A和C；D项可以是动名词的完成式，动名词的完成式要强调动名词的动作在谓语动词之前，而本题中没有时间上的先后关系，所以排除D；由此分析得出答案是B．理解你的需要与学习表达情感一样重要．对于非谓语动词的选择，首先要根据句子的结构判断句中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词；如果是非谓语动词，在理解非谓语动词的基本用法的基础上再根据句子的结构做出判断．10.It takes a long time to restore nature_______ it is damaged．（）A.sinceB.unlessC.onceD.until【答案】C【解析】答案：C．根据选项since自从…，unless除非…，once一旦，until直到…，再结合句意，一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然，可知此处缺少了一个引导时间状语从句的连接词，故C正确．一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然．本题考查时间状语从句的连接词，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的意思，11.It has been foggy for five days．How I wish it______ sunny now!（）A.would beB.wereC.had beenD.is【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查wish引导的宾语从句．wish引导的宾语从句往往用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反的愿望用过去时，be 动词用were；与过去事实相反的愿望用过去完成时；与将来事实相反的愿望用could/would+do；根据本题题干中的now可知是与现在事实相反的愿望，所以答案是B．已经连续五天多雾了．我多么希望现在是晴天．在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上，判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟，然后根据语境，选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟．12.When someone turns away his body，it means impatience and a desire ____ a conversation．（）A.to escapeB.escapedC.escapingD.having escaped【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查不定式做定语．题干中名词desire后面的escape充当定语，表示"渴望做…"，常常用动词不定式短语做desire的定语，构成"a desire to do"；过去分词做定语表示被动，不符合句意，所以排除B；现在分词完成式不做定语，所以排除D；现在分词一般式做定语表示"正在进行"，且单个的分词做定语必须放在被修饰的词的前面，所以排除C，答案选择A．当某人转过他的身子，那就意味着不耐烦以及想逃避一个对话．首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．13.Drivers are supposed to limit the speed in neighborhoods because children ____ be playing there．（）A.shouldB.mustC.mayD.would【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查情态动词的辨析．should应该；must必须；may也许；would会．根据句意，"也许"有孩子在附近玩，所以驾驶员开车要限速，所以答案选C．在附近开车应该限速因为小孩子们也许会在周围玩．要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上，整体理解语境中的情感态度，做出合理的判断．14.It's bad for your eyes if you keep them ______ on the screen for a long time．（）A.fixedB.fixC.fixingD.having fixed【答案】A【解析】答案：A 句中fix作keep的宾语补足语，fix与them之间构成动宾关系，要用表示被动的过去分词．故选A．你如果眼睛长时间盯着屏幕会对眼睛有害的．过去分词是非谓语动词的一种，用法很灵活，分为简单式done（表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作）；完成式having been done（表示先于谓语的动作）．学习时，要把握其用法特征：表示被动和完成．同时还要注意区分现在分词和不定式．15.In ______ hottest reality show Running Man III，Luhan is ______ only new member．（）A.a；不填B.a；anC.the；theD.the；不填【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查定冠词的用法．第一空特指真人秀"奔跑吧，兄弟（3）"，所以用the，排除A和B．第二空考查"the only"表示"仅有的，唯一的"；所以判断答案是C．在最热的真人秀奔跑吧，兄弟（3）中，鹿晗是唯一的新成员．掌握冠词要关注两大方面：一是积累有关不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词的相关的规则；二是积累特掌殊的短语．II、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共30.0分)A eed a DayIt was a busy day as usual．I was making sandwiches and

daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool．"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．This has been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三项全能）．On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as

then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated （主宰）that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was

finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．Shine on，sweet baby．36.Kelly is nervous when A．A.situations are new to herB.boys are around herC.she changes into a

have a scent？When someone is hapy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can youalso smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests thathappiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstainfrom drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co-author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate（分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented．Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．43.What is the main finding of the new research？______A.Men produce more sweats．B.Negative emotions have a smell．C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D.Women have a better sense of smell．44.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably means ______ ．A.avoidB.practiceC.continueD.try45.What is the application value of the new research？______A.Perfumes could help people understand each other．B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．46.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______ ．A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat。

It is that simple. Just help a friend study for a test, or volunteer at anursing home . I learned this after a long, hard search.I was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had died. Then I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday. My routine was to serve the meal and clean up.After that, I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do.One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all righL. In the room I founda boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie. I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old. He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him. He motioned for me to sit down. I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness. We started to talk, and I found out that his family rarely visited, and all he did ever7 day waswatch TV. I wanted to cry for him, and for my lost friend. As we talked, he had a smile on his face,and I asked him why."The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile. With this horrible disease, howdo you still manage to stay happy?"He thought for a moment, and then said that too many people are dead even before they die.They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for.The boy said that he would not be like that. He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise.He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun. He also saidthat he has hope."Too many people haven't seen much of that around here," he said," Life is full of hope and weneed to live life before it is gone. "I don’t know what happened to him. I assume he passed away, but his lesson lives on. I now wakeup and live each day to the fullest. The key to life is not money or fame, but the lessons we learn fromit.56. The nursing home in the passage is mainly for _A. the elderlyB. the homelessC. the disabledD. the abandoned57.

The Meaning of LifeBIn the last few years the popularity of eBooks has exploded. The advantages are clear: You cancarry as many hooks with you as you want. You can simply download ever7 book you like and instantly start reading instead of having to wait for the book to arrive by mail.However, one thing hadn't changed. If you wanted to rent a book you were still forced to use hardcopy hooks. Until now that is. Amazon. com recently announced the start of a new program where you can renteBooks.Where to rent eBooks?As mentioned before, Amazon. com is the first and currently the only retailer (零售商) that has a program in place for renting eBooks. Luckily, Amazon is the largest online retailer in theworld and their eBook assortment (分类) is massive. They are also the producer of the Kindle, the mostpopular eReader, which means you can be sure that the eBooks you rent will work.You can currently only rent eTextbooks.

To rent an eBook online, which of the following goes last?A. open a new pageB. select the "Rent eBooks" option[来C. choose a rental dateD. press "Rent now" button62. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. inform and explainB. discuss and assessC. compare and evaluate D describe and argueC The Purpose of BoredomBeing bored can encourage people's creativity-partly to escape the horrible, frustrated. And meaningless feeling of boredom-recent studies find. It could even be true at work.Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire had participants copy numbers out of thetelephone book for 15 minutes,while others went straight into a standard creativity task.Both groups were asked to come up with as many different uses as they could for a plastic cup. Thegroup that felt more bored came up with more uses.Dr. Sandi Mann, one of the study's authors said. " Boredom at work has always been seen assomething to be removed. hut perhaps we should be welcoming it in order to encourage our creativity.What we want LO do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people whoare bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work-or do they go home and write novels?" In a later study, Dr. Sandi Mann found that creativity was reduced when people were still boredbut didn't have the chance to daydream.While we tend to think of boredom as something; that certainly leads to trouble-drinking, gambling. and antisocial behavior, this research suggests different possibilities.More than anything, the feeling of boredom is a 8trong signal that we are stuck in some kind ofrut and we need to seek out new goals. In the study above, this research led participants to new ideas.Usually people will do anything to avoid being bored. as it's such an aversive experience. Butcreative people, like writers, sometimes talk ahout seeking out boredom.Here is the comedy writer Graham Linehan talking about boredom Lo The Cuardian. "I have to useall these programs that cut off the Internet, force me to be bored, because being bored is an essentialpart of writing, and the Internet has made it very hard to be bored. The creative process requires aperiod of boredom, of being stuck. That's actually a very uncomfortable period that a lot of people mistake for writer's block, but it's actually just part of a long process. "So, when you start to feel bored, instead of g7ancing at your smartphone, try being bored for abit. Who knows what creative thought might come of it?63. From the study of Dr. Sandi Mann, we can learn that .A. boring tasks make people creativeB. daydreaming may increase creativityC. plastic cups can be used very creativelyD. copying numbers might be very interesting64. The underlined word "aversive" in Paragraph 8 probably means _A. common.B. unpleasantC. unusualD. personal65. According to Craham Linehan. _ .A. glancing at a smartphone is a solulion.B. he is forced to feel bored by the InternetC. the boredom period is a block for writersD. being stuck for a period benefits him a lot66. What is the author's attitude towards boredom?A. Critical.B. Cautious.C. PositiveD. Unclear.DCheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believeit is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport.A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions underwhich a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relativeskills of the participants. "Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders mustlearn to tumble (翻滚) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "flied' are thrown inthe air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders arerequired to stay within a certain area.Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points fordifficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the betterthe score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visitsfor cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do notwear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleadersare tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliersmust remain tightat all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleadingis not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings areprovided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition ofcompetitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders arejust "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work justas hard as other athletes.Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and evenappear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved inthe more accepted sports.67. What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Strength and cooperation.B. Lifts and tosses.C. Supporting teammates.D. Physical activities 68．Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _A. explain the dangers of cheerleadingB. show their similarities with cheerleadersC. suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnasticsD. present the guidelines of gymnastic movements69．It can be learned from the passage that cheerleadingA. is a good sport for all peopleB. lacks necessary guidelines to followC. is more than a form of entertainmentD. enjoys greater popularity than other sports70.

Also, the attitude towards teaching, the school in which one teaches,students and parents will greatly affect those results.Their attitude must be positive. The teacher must approach educationis doing will affect the world. They must have an attitude of belief in theirthe natural ability in learning of their students.Their attitude must be one that is open to continuous andconstantly be learning more about the subjects that they teach with a belief that what he students regardless of then ever-ending learning;. Teachers must73 And even if a teacher is a history teacher (not too many current events when studying, say, ancient history) they need to stay up-to-date on any current discoveries that perhaps haven't beenknown in the past. For example, in the USA, there has been a long held belief that Christopher Columbus" discovered"America. However, many are refuting (驳斥) the so-called "facts" today basing on new findings.74 The farmer doesn't expect a harvest to appear immediately after he plants the seeds.He does, however, "see" the harvest in his mind. The s ame is necessary for the teacher.They know the harvest will come but today is a day to plant seeds and cultivate the crop, which can't be achieved within days.Their attitude must be one of perseverance. It's not always easy or fun to be a teacher. 75Much o f a teacher's stress comes from having to deal with the administration of schools,and facing students of different characters. It can be a pain sometimes.Teaching is a "calling", not just a vocation. You must have the vision to look into your students' eyes and see their futures. Not only is teaching an investment in children's lives, but, it is aninvestment in the future of our world. Therefore, it is rewarding.A There are times when it is difficult.B Their attitude must be one of patience.C Here are some attitudes of great teachers.D Those who take a negative attitude can't make it.E Here are some suggestions about how to be a great teacher.F Their attitude must be one of investments in children's lives.G They need to be reading the latest discoveries in their field.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）请你给外籍教师David Hill写一封信，内容包括：1你班计划于11月14日（星期五）下午4：00-5：30举行一场英语演讲比赛2邀请他担任评委，并请他于当天下午3：45到达306教室；3期待他能应邀前来，并为占用他的休息时间表达歉意。

海淀高三英语期中考试-2015.11海淀区高三年级第一学期期中练习英语2015.11阅读理解（共两节，40分）AOne day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day’s work.The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them.”“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him. ”The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round,and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you no t much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?”The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never for get.”56. The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to ______.A. find the truthB. show his wisdomC. amuse himselfD. teach him a lesson57. After finding the two coins, the man felt_________.A. helplessB. interestedC. peacefulD. thankful58. We can know from the passage that the professor is __________.A. wiseB. richC. humorousD. serious59. What does the story intend to tell us?A. A small act of kindness brings great joy.B. God helps those who help themselves.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. Actions speak louder than words.BTips for Cycle TripsCycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel. Cycle travel is also a cheap form of transportation.DistanceOn level terrain（地形）, without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60–120km a day. Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit. For many, 80–100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities. GeographyThe gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range. A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time. In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill. A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.EatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.60. Which of the following distance does theauthor suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A. 50km.B. 90km.C. 130km.D. 250km.61. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A. high quality food is easy to get on long tripsB. hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsC. cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthyD. it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude62. We can probably read this passage in .A. a geography bookB.a research report C. a science fiction D. a travel magazine C Time Travel If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing . Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine , which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be u sed as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. AndBritish physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship —going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.63. The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show ______.A. people’s interest in time travelB. the special feature of the bookC. the long history of time travelD. the contribution of H.G. Wells64. Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories _____.A.have similarities in many waysB.push the invention of the first spaceshipC.have proved wrong by some time travelersD.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine65. In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that ______.A.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB.the traveler goes back in time to seek for hisgrandfatherC.the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossibleD.the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness66. According to the passage, what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?A. Unclear.B. Skeptical.C. Supportive.D. Unconcerned.DSpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Scienceshowed that reading novels helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight, left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”67. The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph2 shows_________.A. the new trend of slow readingB. the decline of electronic devicesC. the importance of exchanging ideasD. the increasing number of club readers68. According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of _________.A. a non-stop reading patternB. the straight, left-to-right screenC. a wide range of tidbitsD. the lack of reflection 69. According to the passage, slow reading _________. A. contributes to understanding among people B. promotes the current technology advances C. provides people with a quiet environment D. cures the memory loss of elderly people 70. What is the best title for the passage? A. Benefit of Reading Clubs. B. Return of Slow Reading. C. Reading of the Internet Age. D. Influence of Speed Reading. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Attraction of the Minions When it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters. 71 Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me （卑鄙的我），these yellow pill-shaped nuts have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure. This summer the characters debuted （首演）in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today . Recent ly McDonald’s has been including Minion toys with kids’ meals in some areas, causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all. 72 The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knewthe Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force ofnature,” the film’s co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times.73 For many, the appeal is obviously their cuteness. Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups. Even children can draw them. Thousands of examples of fan-made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms.But there’s more to the phenomenon than just cuteness. US entertainment website HitFix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well. 74 But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸张的）movements and expressions.More importantly, their childlike manner is a brand of humor that wins hearts. “Clumsy foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate β personalities,” wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety.They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master. 75 “Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves,” Huffing ton Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, “or an evil version of ourselves.”A. So what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit?B. Besides, their childlike manner entertains fans more.C. And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans.D. Related video games, toys and other goods are sweeping the world.E. Minions is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated family comedy film.F. But when it comes to the Minions, these conventions go right out the window.G. They largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like “potato”.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）Speaking UpI never looked up when my friends were talking and joking about the retarded (智障的) boy a few tables away.

So Martin and I both started at a new school. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when a “ short ” bus (for the retarded) came and 41 up some kids. The children in the other line started making 42about the “ retarded ” on that bus and I felt a 43feeling in my heart. I said quietly that those comments weren’t very nice, 44no one listened.My family moved again. In the new school I got a 45to speak up pretty soon. That day, in a band class, my teacher 46 our playing to make some comments, “ …Guys, we’re playing like the kids on the short bu s! Come on! ”The entire room was laughing loudly. I felt very 47. Then, I raised my hand. I wasn’t sure what I was going to say but I wanted to be heard.The whole class 48 down. My mouth opened and this came out: “ I don’t think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are people on that bus who have a lot in common with us and have the same feelings as we do.” I could feel my 49 getting louder. “ So I would 50 it if you didn’t make fun of them.”The room was very quiet and everyone stared at me. My teacher 51for his words and then started the song again. At the end of the class, everyone was giving me strange looks. But I didn’t 52 , because I knew three things: I had spoken the 53, I had taught everyone something, and while everyone in the classroom was being a follower, I had 54to take a different path since I wanted to become a 55 and a role model.36．A．amazed B．hurt C．uncertain D．cold37．A．off B．in C．down D．away38．A．normal B．noisy C．outstanding D．impressive39．A．pain B．interest C．opinion D．illness40．A．change B．move C．quit D．study41．A．set B．took C．brought D．picked42．A．jokes B．complaints C．choices D．discoveries43．A．violent B．strange C．confusing D．clear44．A．because B．if C．but D．so45．A．chance B．position C．topic D．point46．A．encouraged B．bothered C．enjoyed D．stoppe d47．A．bad B．embarrassed C．tense D．guilty48．A．sat B．slowed C．quieted D．looked49．A．pace B．voice C．pulse D．breath50．A．excuse B．appreciate C．stand D．permit51．A．apologized B．fought C．allowed D．argued52．A．understand B．notice C．return D．care53．A．wisdom B．importance C．matter D．truth54．A．helped B．decided C．agreed D．hoped55．A．reporter B．thinker C．leader D．trainer第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）AOne day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearlyf inished his day’s word.The student turned to the professor, saying, “ Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affect s him.”The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face. He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, Whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying．The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears．“Now,” said the professor, “are you not muchbetter pleased than if you had played your intended trick？”The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．56．The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to _________________．A．find the truth B．show his wisdom C．amuse himself D．teach him a lesson 57．After finding the two coins, the man felt_____________．A．helpless B．interested C．peaceful D．thankful58．We can know from the passage that the professor is ___________．A．wise B．rich C．humorous D．serious59．What dose the story intend to tell us？A．A small act of kindness brings great joy．B．God helps those who help themselves．C．Where there is a will, there is a way．D．Actions speak louder than words．BTips for Cycle TripsCycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．DistanceOn level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover60-120km a day．Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit．For many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities．GeographyThe gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill．A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．EatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises. SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar word, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.60．Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A．50km. B．90km. C．130km. D．250km.61．Form the passage, we can learn that_____________.A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsC．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy D．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude 62．We can probably read this passage in___________.A．a geography book B．a research report C．a science fiction D．a travel magazineCTime TravelIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which waswritten by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large n umber of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”．It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time？And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs．He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）．If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．63．The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．A．People's interest in time travel B．the special feature of the bookC．the long history of time travel D．the contribution of H．G．Wells64．Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．A．have similarities in many ways B．push the invention of the first spaceshipC．have proved wrong by some time travelers D．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine65．In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that__________．A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossibleD．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness66．According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？A．Unclear．B．Skeptical．C．Supportive．D．Unconcerned．DSpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones．They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment．According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones．Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships．Yet technology has made us less attentive readers．Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information．left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian．Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other．Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions．Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic．“You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said．“Reach for your e-reader, if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place．”67．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________．A．the new trend of slow reading B．the decline of electronic devicesC．the importance of exchanging ideas D．the increasing number of club readers68．According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________．A．a non-stop reading pattern B．the straight, left-to-right screenC．a wide range of interesting news D．the lack of reflection69．According to the passage, slow reading___________．A．contributes to understanding among people B．promotes the current technology advancesC．provides people with a quiet environment D．cures the memory loss of elderly people70．What's the best title for the passage?A．Benefit of Reading Clubs．B．Return of Slow Reading．C．Reading of the Internet Age．D．Influence of Speed Reading．第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分,共10 分）Attraction of the MinionsWhen it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters. __71 __ Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me（卑鄙的我）, these yellow pill-shaped nuts, have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure. his summer the characters debuted（首演）in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today. Recently, McDonald’s has been including Minion toys with kids’ meals in some areas, causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all. __72 __ The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force of nature,” the film’s co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times.__73 __For many, the appeal is obviously their cuteness. Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups. Even children can draw them. Thousands of examples of fan-made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms.But there’s more to the phenomenon than just cuteness. US entertainment website Hit Fix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well. __74 __ But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸张的）movements and expressions.More importantly, their childlike mannerisms is a brand of humor that wins hearts. “Clumsy, foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate β personalities,” wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety. They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master. __75__ "Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves," Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, "or an evil version of ourselves."A. So what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit?B. Besides, their childlike manner entertains fans more.C. And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans.D. Related video games, toys and other goods are sweeping the world.E. Minions is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated family comedy film.F.
