丰城中学xx学年上学期高三周练试卷英语（1--45班）刘艳红高三英语备课组（2015-12-09）考试时间16:10-----17:20 (重点班不做D篇)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共1 5小题：每小题2分，满分30分）ACoffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1. What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To bee more awake.B. To bee more healthy.C. To bee more happy.D. To bee more clever.2. How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.BMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son . Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work , doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem and was q uite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the baptismal (洗礼)ceremony，of course.On the day of the baptism , Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the ha ll. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister youare! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She could n’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mo uth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddently turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …4. Shaindle didn’t visit her sist er after her sister gave birth because .A. she envied her sisterB. she lived too far from her sister.C. she was too busyD. she didn’t feel quite herself5. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many years.B. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleC . Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years.D. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-law.6. The purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. words can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should try to forget unpleasant thingD. two sisters’ different experiences7. The undeflined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means .A. be impolite to somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. make fun of somebody.CPeople laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel unfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears （落泪者） is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedywas the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive （适得其反）．Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others（as a crying baby might from its mother）, the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vocal （出声的） cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention．So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical position of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion ，containing no such substance．Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kast and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome（综合征）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．8．What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to ? A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical position of tears．D．The tear shedder' s apology and the observer' s effort to stop the crying．9．It is known from the first paragraph that____．A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericansB．crying may often result in tragedyC．crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed10．What does the author say about crying?A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．B．It must have a role to play in man' s survival．C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．D．It usually produces the desired effect．11．From the passage we can infer that____．A．it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB．we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC．shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudlyD．unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survivalDWhenever people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy．However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user．By using Everyclick．, which is being added to a number of university puters across the UK, students can raise money every time they searc h, but it won’t cost them a penny．Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity．This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own ine．19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than 5,000．With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible．Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick． to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "Wugging" grow in popularity with students．"When you're at university you bee more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth．"Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny．" Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don' t feel they have the means to do so．Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing themanything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding．Everyclick． works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks．Everyclick． then makes monthly payments to every registered charity．Launched in June xx, Everyclick． is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK．12．According to the passage, "Wugging" is actually____．A．a charityrelated action B．a websiteC．a school organization D．a student movement13．In the case of charity, Everyclick．____．A．receives much money from students B．frees students of the financial worriesC．offers valuable information to students D．praises students for their money-raising14．From the passage, we can conclude that____．A．most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B．Everyclick．is the busiest charity website in the UK C．Everyclick． helps students pay for further education D．"Wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．"Wugging", a popular term on the InternetB．Students collect money for charity by " Wugging"C．More British charities benefit from the InternetD．Charity enjoys increasing popularity with the British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。

It is the seed of a cactus (仙人掌) plant. The seed lies on the ground. It lies there for one year. It is waiting. The cactus seed must wait for rain. But not just any rain. It waits for a heavy rain. It needs a heavy rain so it can grow.One day, a heavy rain falls. It makes the seed sprout. The small seed then sends out tiny roots. The roots go down into the earth. A new cactus begins to grow. The growing cactus needs food. Its food is in the seed. The seed feeds the cactus as it grows.The cactus sends out more roots. They go deeper into the earth. There they reach water. Other roots are not so deep. They take water from light rains. Soon the food in the seed is gone. The new cactus must now make its own food. The cactus takes in light from the sun. It takes in air and water. The cactus turns these into food.For two or more years the cactus grows. Then it is ready to flower. The cactus produces a bud (花蕾). The bud is the start of a flower. The bud has hairs on it. The hairs help keep animals away.Then one day, there is a flower. But it will not stay for long. The cactus needs to save its food and water. So it keeps its flower only a few days. Then seeds fall from the flower. They fall to the ground. Here they lie for a year. They lie and wait for rain. One day, they will grow into a new cactus.1. Why does the seed of a cactus lie on the ground?A. To wait for a heavy rain to grow.B. To avoid being hurt by animals.C. To wait for a strong wind to send it far away.D. To continue its growth after falling from the cactus.2. The growing cactus gets its food from ______.A. the windB. the seedC. the heavy rainD. the dry earth3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. The roots of the cactus can’t go deep into the earth.B. The cactus can make water from the air.C. The cactus stops growing when its food is used up.D. The cactus can create food with light, water and air.4. The hairs on the bud of the cactus are used for ______.A. taking in more airB. absorbing more waterC. not being eaten by animalsD. not getting burnt by light5. From the article we can make the conclusion that ______.A. there is a heavy rain every year in the desertB. a cactus will die when it starts to flowerC. animals show little interest in eating buds of cactusesD. seeds of cactuses still keep alive in the dry weatherBLeatherback Turtles are found in most warm seas, often migrating fromone continent to another. They are the largest of all turtles, sometimes weighing more than 1,500 pounds. Unlike other turtles, their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shell. These turtles have huge strong front flippers which can propel them in the water at high speeds. Leatherback Turtles have a very unique way of laying their eggs. From August to September, female turtles travel vast distances just to lay their eggs on the exact spot where they had laid their eggs previously. As soon as they reach the shore, they will not rest until they have arrived at their nesting grounds. By using their giant flippers, they dig a deep hole in the sand. In this hole, they will lay about 100 to 200 soft rubbery eggs . Once they are finished, the turtles will cover up the hole with sand and return to the sea, only coming next year to the same spot to dig another hole to lay eggs.The heat of the sun will warm the eggs and after a period of time, the hatchlings will climb out of the sand and crawl towards the sea. Even though many turtles are hatched, many do not survive the first few weeks of their lives. There are many animals such as seagulls who prey on the young turtles. The baby turtle’s hard shell has not yet f ormed and has no hardened defense against the attackers. Some turtles are caught in fishermen’s nets and left out to die. Other turtles are caught between the wastes man produced such as plastic bags and eventually die of suffocation (窒息). To make matters worse, Leatherback Turtles are hunted for their ornamental shell and their eggs are considered delicacies. Illegal gathering for eggs to be sold in markets also helps in the decline of these turtles.6. Leatherback Turtles are different from other turtles because ______.A. they are large in sizeB. their ribs and backbones are not joined togetherC. their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shellD. they have front flippers7. When Leatherback Turtles reach the shore, they will ______.A. take a rest before laying eggsB. find their old hole to lay eggsC. lay eggs immediatelyD. find their nesting grounds first8. Which of the following is NOT a threat to Leatherback Turtles?A. Seagulls.B. Hunting.C. Waste.D. Weather.9.We learn from the last paragraph that Leatherback Turtles ______.A. are well protected nowB. need urgent protectionC. are allowed to be hunted by lawD. still exist in large numbers10. The underlined word “hatchlings”in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. newly laid eggsB. newly born turtlesC. mother turtlesD. big turtlesCLearning to play a musical instrument can change your brain. A US review has found that musical training can improve speech and foreign language skills.Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart’s music or other classical music make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music can boost brain power.But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled research together that links between musical training and learning can affect skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural (神经中枢的) connections made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communication.“The effect of musical training suggests that music is a resource that tones (增强) the brain for auditory (听觉的) fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in encouraging individual development.” the researchers said in their study.Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain’s ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructive patterns that are important to learning.The study, published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, showed the improvement of research in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have strong impact on education.The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in the complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and coordination (协调) with other musicians.“A musician’s brain selectively enhances information-bearing elements in sound,”Kraus said in a statement. The study also reviewed literature showing, for example, that musicians are more successful thannon-musicians in learning to connect sound patterns for a new language with words.11. The passage is mainly about ______.A. researches on musical instrumentsB. the study of musicC. the effect of classical musicD. the benefit of musical training12. According to the researcher Kraus, musical training contributes to the following EXCEPT ______.A. body fitnessB. the brain’s ability to adapt and changeC. mental concentrationD. the ability to communicate13. It was believed but hasn’t been proved that listening to classical music could ______.A. boost your intelligenceB. improve your speech abilitiesC. develop the ability to learn languages wellD. make you feel happy14. According to the study, musicians are better at learning a foreign language because ______.A. they are better at remembering a scoreB. they are more sensitive to changesC. they are better at connecting sounds with words in a foreign languageD. they can cooperate better with others15. Which field might the study have a great effect on?A. ArtsB. EducationC. MusicD. MedicineDAccording to a recent stud y, only about one out of four high school’s yearbooks still feature the classic “Most Likely to Succeed” award. The reason is that we’re afraid to give a kid a label that will haunt them for the rest of their life, always pushing them to be a success and m aking them feel like a failure if they’re not VIPs.A survey by the website also found that about one out of three people who were named “Most Likely to Succeed” in high school say it was a “curse (祸害)” .Two in five say it was an “inspiration”. Blake Atwood is one of the people who said it was a curse. He was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by his classmates in 1998, and he works as a copywriter for a law firm now.I feel sorry for this guy. Not because he’s not successful, but because he doesn’t realize he is. A synonym (同义词) for success is accomplishment. He’s a tax-paying, society-contributing member of the human race. He gets up every morning with a roof over his head, food on his table and a family that loves him. What else does he need?Did he reach every goal he had for his life? Probably not, but not all goals are achieved. The secret of goals is that the victory is sometimes not in the attainment (达到)of them, but in the struggle and journey to achieve them along the way. What did you learn? Who did you meet? What impact did you make on them ?My goal was to play college basketball. Due to many reasons, it was not to be. However, the quest for that goal led me to a college where I started doing this. I never played a minute of college ball, but does that make me any less successful? I don’t think so.One of my favorite quotes comes from the coach, John Wooden. It goes something like this: “Success is the state of mind derived from the satisfaction of knowing you did your best to become the very best you were capable of becoming.” My wish for Blake Atwood and for you is not the achievement of others’view of “success” , but the achievement of yours.16. According to the passage, “Most Likely to Succeed” award ______.A. caused a dispute among the studentsB. was thought highly of by all the studentsC. was ordered to stopD. was a way to inspire the students to succeed17. We can learn from the passage that Blake Atwood ______.A. has achieved none of his goals in lifeB. is a negative example of this awardC. hasn’t realized the meaning of successD. hasn’t succeeded in his career as a copywriter18. The author thinks that the secret of goals lies in ______.A. the attainment of themB. the process to achieve themC. the impact made by themD. the ways of setting them19. The author lists John Wooden’s quote in the passage in order to ______.A. explain the procedures for successB. prove that Blake Atwood is wrongC. show his understanding of successD. provide some advice for the readers20. What is the best title of this passage?A. “Most Likely to Succeed” AwardB. Different Attitudes towards SuccessC. My Great Pity for Blake AtwoodD.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.If this summer you pay a visit to Milan, the fashion center of Italy, make sure you’re not caught eating ice cream in the streets after midnight as doing so is now ___41___.A new law was passed by Milan’s city council banning the sale of take-away food and drinks after midnight in some districts which are famous for their nightlife ___42___. The purpose of this unusual move is, according to the city council, to discourage night gathering in downtown areas.The law inevitably has given rise to a number of protests, accusing that the government has ___43___ people’s normal lives. However, if you take into consideration the country’s ___44___ economy and its high unemployment rate, the local government’s fear of ‘night assembling’may be reasonable.In fact, Milan’s law is only the strangest of a host of restrictions on nightlife that have ___45___ up in European cities recently. Madrid’s citycenter was declared a ‘low-noise zone’ last September and the city council has been refusing to ___46___ bar and club licenses ever since.Why do European cities deal so strictly with nightlife? It may be because Europe’s population is getting older and can no longer ___47___ late night activities within the neighborhood.In the past, bars and clubs bloomed in European city centers, which were ___48___ to working class populations. But gradually, these people began to move out of the city centers and into the suburbs. Only the wealthy and the upper-class people can afford to live in ___49___ centers now. But these people don’t go to bars and clubs to socialize. Instead, they consider fun-seekers who wander in their neighborhoods annoying. They also worry that bars and clubs will make their neighborhoods less ___50___ and devalue their housing property.III. Reading prehension(47%)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybewe have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they bee workaholics! They are more fortable in the office than at home. According tothe study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is –we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52.

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown(触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, mercial airtime is also very expensive.

The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot(吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning(棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, e and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on.

With all this ing and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of munication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of fort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other? Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes itimpossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You e away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how triteit sounds! – That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and atthe same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’ now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate forts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do – anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during aprogramme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or spectacles of sadism and violence – so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate munities. We bee utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of munication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We bee content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of munication, but itprevents us from municating with each other. We only bee aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?_______________________________________________________________________ ___79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.__________________________________________________________________________ __81.__________________________________________________________________________ __第II卷I.

HY2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)周测15第一局部：阅读理解〔一共15小题，每一小题2分，满分是30分〕AIt was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course〔道路〕 with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake〔追上〕her later on when she was tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don’t chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away—first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.1. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was runningenergetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.2. By saying “a long, punishing hill〞 (Paragraph 5) , the writer impliesthat _______.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task3. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a race.D. He should set a quicker pace atthe beginning of a race.BAn app that does nothing but send a simple notification(通知(tōngzhī))of “Yo〞 to recipients(接收者)is the most popular app right now in the US.The app，named Yo，reached No.1 in the Apple App Store in the US last week，after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $1 million(6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.Created in just eight hours by Or Arbel，a 32 year old app developer from Tel Aviv，Israel，Yo claims to be th e “simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world〞．With a single tap，users can send the word “Yo〞 to one another in a voice notification—and nothing else.Yo was launched on April Fools' Day this year but many people still see the app as a joke now，including some technology experts，like Polly Mosendz from The Wire and Judd Legum from Think Progress.David Shapiro，from The New Yorker，says now when he thinks about someone，he just “Yos〞 them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation. He says it's a great way of saying：“I'm thinking about you but I don't have anything in particular to say.〞Social media constantly demands our time and attention. Not replying to text messages and emails can hurt relationships. But，Shapiro says，a “Yo〞 doesn't seem to demand a reply. “What a relief，〞he says.Andrew Leonard，from The Salon，says “Yo〞also “expresses our most essential humanity〞．He says that the word “Yo〞is “a declaration(宣言(xuānyán))，first，that I exist in this world，and second，that I seek connection and community with something outside myself.〞It's like saying：“Yo...I am here. Is anybody out there？〞4. According to the passage，we know________.A. not everyone is in favor of YoB. Yo was launched on AprilFools' Day to fool peopleC. Yo has been used widelyD. not everyone can afford the app5. According to Paragraph 5, we can conclude David Shapiro________.A. doesn't like using YoB. thinks Yo can save timeC. thinks it's polite not to reply to text messagesD. dislikes using latest equipment6. What Andrew Leonard says means Yo______.A. is the simplest communication toolB. will be popularC. can express something deeperD. will be sold all over the world7. From the passage，we can infer________.A. Yo is far from satisfactoryB. Yo has many functionsC. Yo received little investmentD. it's easy to operate YoCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive (主管(zhǔguǎn)的) circle , beauty can become a liability .While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的，娇柔的) and has an advantage in traditionally female jobs , but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly pos ition appears to lack the “manly〞 qualifies required .This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks ,people treat men and women differently,〞says Anne Bowman , who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes .8. The underlined word in the f irst paragraph “ liability〞most probablymeans .A．disadvantage B．advantage C．misfortune D．trouble9. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics ,attractiveness .A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage thanan advantage to womenC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. affects men and women alike10. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty areoften .A．practical B．supportive C．old-fashioned D．one-sided11.The author writes this passage to .A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB. discuss the disadvantagesof being attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. state the importance ofappearanceDWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems andsome other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.12. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesn't give the explanation.13.It can be inferred from the text that .A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. emotional health has a close relationship to physical healthC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. crying does more good to health than laughing14. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Why We CryB. How to Keep HealthyC. Power of TearsD. New Scientific Discovery15. What is the author's attitude to "crying"?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Touched.D. Upset.第二局部：完形填空(一共(yīgòng)20小题；每一小题l.5分, 满分是30分)阅读下面短文(duǎn wén)，掌握其大意，然后从1—20各题所给的四个选项里面，选出最正确选项。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校中学高三英语第十二周周练一．阅读理解CA group of brave tourists learnt the meaning of vertigo the hard way as they bacame the first visitors to cross a new 590 foot high glass-bottomed suspension bridge in China.This special structure,the first of its kind in the world,is situated in the province of Hunan.Images have emerged online showing the visitors gripped with fear and frozen in awe while standing on the see-through walkway.One female tourist is seen clutching so the handrail tightly and had to be dragged along by her friend.The bridge had previously been a wooden overpass that lin ked two peaks of Stone Buddha Mountain in Shiniuzhai Geopark but is now a 984 foot long glass walkway. Part of the bridge had already been replaced with a glass cutout in 2014, attracting hordes of fearless tourists. However, 11 engineers have been working on the bridge over the last few months to replace all the wooden planks with glass panes, transforming the bridge into the word’s first glass-bottomed suspension bridge.According to reports, several visitors were so terrified that they could barely move. Some were seen holding on to each other as well as to the sailings as they made the crossing. Many people were filled with fear as they tried not to look down to the steep drop below. The bridge was said to move from side to side slightly when people walked across it, making people feel even more frightened. The amazing construction has already been named “hero bridge”because of the amount of courage required to cross it.Those worried about the safety of the bridge can rest easy. The glass forming the footpath is said to be 25 times stronger than regular window glass. It’s also created to stay in shape and withstand impact although special footwear has been issued to visitors.28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. The history of the glass bridgeB. The reason why the bridge was builtC. The safety of the glass bridgeD. The wooden bridge which should be changed29. What made traveling through the bridge more fearful?A. The wooden parts with glassB. the way people walk on itC. The shaking of the bridgeD. The great landscape below30. Why is the bridge called “hero bridge”?A. Because only courageous people can cross itB. Because the bridge was built by brave peopleC. Because the bridge doesn’t have the railingsD. Because people are full of courage when they are on it31.

Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. people now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable（可持续的）ways.

In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions（排放）and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.32. the traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that .A．It makes the world warmer B．it consumes natural resources C．it brings severe damage to forests D．it makes growth hard to continue33.
