The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.―Why do you cry, Man?‖ the Cat asked. ―Because you can‘t bear the 38 of losing me?‖ The Man nodded ―Yes‘‘.―And where do you think I‘ll be when I leave you?‖ the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. ―Close your eyes, Man,‖ the Cat said. The Man gave him a 39 look, but did as he was told.―What color are my eyes and fur?‖ the Cat asked. ―Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,‖ the Man re plied.―And where is it that you 40 see me?‖ asked the Cat. ―I see you…on the kitchen windowsill （窗台）watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.‖ ―Then, whenever you wish to see m e, all you must do is close your eyes,‖ said the Cat.― 41 that piece of string from the floor —there, my ‗toy‘.‖ The string was about two feet longhand,‖ the Cat ordered.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALast August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager‘s intended major, one located nea r a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. ―The safety issue is a big one,‖ says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn‘t alone in his worries.On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer —―That‘s not a problem here,‖ —Mahoney began to feel uneasy.―No crime whatsoever?‖ comments Mahoney today. ―I just don‘t buy it. ‖ Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. ―Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,‖ s ays David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. ―Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.‖But getting accurate information isn‘t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. ―The truth may not always be serious,‖ war n s S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc. , the nation‘s leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.56. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ________A. to express the opinions of many parentsB. to choose a right one for their daughterC. to check the cost of college educationD. to find a right one near a large city57. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____A. receive too many visitorsB. mirror the rest of the nationC. hide the truth of campus crimeD. have too many watchdog groups58. The underlined word ―buy‖ in the third paragraph means _______A. mindB. admitC. believeD. expect59. We learn from the text that ―the honest ones‖ in the fourth paragraph most probab ly refers tocolleges _____.A. that are protected by campus securityB. that report campus crimes by lawC. that are free from campus crimeD. that enjoy very good publicity60. What is the text mainly about?A. Exact campus crime statisticsB. Crimes on or around campusesAs a teenager I was schooled in an elite (精英)school where I was given the idea that I was better than others and that achievement and winning were all important. At school I was fortunate to win enough to balance all the times I lost and I began to believe in this idea. I survived and thrived.After leaving high school and university and going out into the world I entered that real messy world where my progress was not measured by an end–of–term exam or by my achievements on a sports field. My life losses began to exceed my successes and I began to think that there must be more to life than winning.It wasn‘t until I became a parent that this thought became a strongly-held belief. I am the proud father of a seven-year-old girl, Naomi. Her best friends since she was an infant are two boys, Kean and Cyrus. They would play together 3 full days a week---one day in each child‘s home.Naomi and Kean have always been fast runners and very evenly matched too. Cyrus was slower to develop physically and was not as speedy as his two playmates, but he loved to run and play just as much as the other two.One day the three friends were at my house. Our family enjoyed a large house with a great running track. The kids were racing around and I was sitting in the living room as Naomi and Kean burst into the room, neck and neck and fell joyfully into the couch. Each bou nced up loudly proclaiming ―I‘m the first, I‘m the first‖. Several seconds passed before Cyrus appeared, with an earnest look on his face. He too fell, face first, into the soft couch and bounced to his feet, with total joy and celebration, ―I‘ m the third!‖ I believe we should also celebrate those that finish as the third in a race.61. What‘s the main idea of the text?A. Winning is not everything in life.B. Life is full of challengesC. One should learn to think in lifeD. No one can win all the time62. While studying in an elite school, the author held the belief that ________.A. one should not depend on his fortuneB. the chief goal of life is to winC. one must learn to give upD. one should not just focus on his academic achievement63. When he began to work, the author _________.A. changed his old belief immediatelyB. also made great achievementsC. met a lot of failures and disappointmentsD. began to regret his school days64. The reason why the author tells about the race of the three kids is that _____________A. it shows the spirit of sportsmanshipB. it shows the meaning of true friendshipC. it teaches the author how to be a better fatherD. it strengthens his new belief65. Which of the following BEST describes the author‘s at titude towards Cyrus?A. Pitiful.B. ConcernedC. AppreciativeD. DisappointedFor most people, Verona is the setting of one of the most famous love stories ever told — William Shakespeare‘s Romeo and Juliet, making it one of the most popular holiday destinations for lovers and romantics. Shakespeare said, ―There is no world outside these walls…‖ and tourists will indeed feel like they are lost inside another world when they enter the gates to the historic city of Verona.With beautiful red tiled（铺瓦的）rooftops against leafy green trees and the sparkling Adige River that flows through this UNESCO world heritage site, Verona is one of the most picturesque destinations in the country. Sadly though, much of the ancient architecture and ancient Roman monuments were ravaged by a powerful earthquake that rocked the city in 1117, which led to a massive Romanesque（罗马式的）rebuilding.Visit Juliet‘s house and rub her statue for good luck, walk across the Ponte Pietra Bridge to admire the views over the Adige River, visit the statue of famed poet Dante Alighieri in the Piazza dei Signori （绅士广场）, or marvel at the still functional Arena di V erona, an enormous Roman amphitheatre（圆形露天剧场）dating back 2,000 years and boasting the largest opera stage in the world. The best time to visit the Arena is during the lyrical season in the summer when operas take place inside theatre on pleasant summer nights.After a long day of enjoying the romance, history and splendor（壮观）of the city of Verona, climb the steps on the hi ll above the Roman Amphitheatre to the Castell San Pietro (St Peter‘s Castle) for spectacular views over the city — the perfect setting for a romantic sunset picnic.66. Shakespeare is mentioned in the first paragraph to show that______.A. people can v isit Shakespeare‘s house in V eronaB. visitors are easy to be attracted by VeronaC. Verona is most poets‘ favorite placeD. Verona is an old and quiet place67. We can infer from the second paragraph that______.A. many buildings in Verona are rela ted to Shakespeare‘s playsB. most ancient buildings in Verona were built by the RomansC. many buildings we see today in Verona were rebuiltD. the Romanesque buildings in Verona can resist strong earthquakes68. People rub Juliet‘s statue to______.A. be blessed with good luckB. show respect for herC. wish her good luckD. satisfy their curiosity69. The underlined word ―ravaged‖ in the passage most probably means______.A. decoratedB. destroyedC. builtD. protected70. What do we know about Arena di Verona from the third paragraph?A. It is where Juliet‘s statue is located.B. It can hold the most audience.C. It is the oldest theatre in the world.D. It is an ancient theatre that is still in use today.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with some teachers.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a ―mostly positive‖ effect on their students‘ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies ―do more to distract students than to help them academically‖. Many students think ―doing research‖ now means just doing a quick search on Google.Judy Buchanan is deputy director of the project and a co-author of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster.―Teachers really embrace these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting a nd engaging. And the goal is to really help them become creators of content, and not just sort of consumers.‖But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.Another problem, teachers say, is that the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work that has been done by others instead of using their own abilities.Title: Digital tools‘ influences on teenagersⅠ.

Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.The island nation of Tuvalu (图瓦卢) in the Pacific Ocean wants the bigger countries of the world to do something about climate change. And it‘s not just for the good of the planet: Tuvalu could be covered by the sea in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter.Tuvalu has no industry, burns little petrol, and creates less carbon pollution than a small town in America. However, this tiny place is on the front line of climate change. The increase in ocean temperatures and the rising sea level—all resulted from a warming atmosphere—are making trouble for Tuvalu.Sea level rise is the greatest problem. With an average elevation (高度) of 6 feet above sea level, Tuvalu doesn‘t have far to go. Tuvalu‘s highest elevation is 4.6 meters—15 feet—but most of it is no more than a meter above the sea. Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides (潮水), riding on the ever higher sea level, brings the Pacific waters over onto roads and into neighborhoods. Sometimes a high tide can flood roads and run across the whole land. You can never separate the sea from the land, so some natives warned visitors, ―You‘d better not run after dark, for you may fall into the sea..‖81. Where does Tuvalu lie? (no more than 4 words)82. What could happen to Tuvalu in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter? (no more than 7words)83. What is the greatest problem Tuvalu facing now? (no more than 3 words)84. What is the title of the passage? (no more than 5 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.同学之间难免会发生不愉快的事情，其中有误会，有矛盾，有争吵，有被冤枉，有受到不公正待遇……，请就此写一篇英语短文,简要描述这件事，并谈谈自己的感想。

高中英语真题:2015届高三英语12月月考试题第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
