My shopping list was 36 and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could 37 it all.As I 38 the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle 39 . He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to 40 the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to 41 if I could. I smiled back, took the 42 and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things. I slowly 43 each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I 44 again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food 45 list under it.I smiled and decided to trust my heart.With the food bank in mind, I went over and 46 two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took 47 six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them, 48 my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was 49 , I had just enough to pay for it all.It 50 so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s 51 belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to 52 a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random 53 of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us, 54 .

While some people prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home, others have been bitten by the travel bug and can’t wait to explore the w orld. Exotic (异国的) places call to them. “Come to visit us and we will show you my mysteries,” they say.Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. They wander through the castles and museums of Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The great outback of Australia is a wonderland for those who go there. And a few lucky people even realize their dreams to visit the most mysterious continent on the earth – Antarctica.Why do people want to explore the world? It gives them a better understanding about the earth and the people living on it. It opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive. So save some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. It will change your life forever.56. If a person is bitten by a travel bug, he ________.A. prefers to stay at homeB. feels a lot of painC. hates exotic placesD. is eager to see the world57. The writer suggests travelers go to ________ to experience the most different cultures.A. EuropeB. AmericaC. AsiaD. Antarctica58. From the passage, we can learn that by exploring the world you can ________.A. live a different life foreverB. understand the earth and the peopleC. open your mindsD. have a sense of achievement59. What is the passage mainly about?A. Interesting placesB. Advantages of travelingC. Culture differencesD. Attitudes towards travelingBThe British royal family is about to be slimmed down. The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals, as was recently announced. However, there seems little sign of the monarchy (君主) disappearing completely．Up till the 17th century, the British king or queen was believed to rule by “divine (神的) right”, which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles the first was imprisoned and then killed in 1649．So what role does the British royal family have today?Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces, only the Queen can declare when the UK is at war or when war was over. The Queen also has constitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day.In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down the country in support of different charity projects. But the public in Britain do not believe there should be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well. One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxes．Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant in the modern world. The queen’s speech on TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). In 2005, after graduation from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many young British people do at some time in their lives．60. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right．B. The British king or queen is about to become common people．C. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649．D. The royal fam ily’s role was most important in Britain in the 17th century．61. Which of the following is NOT among formal duties of the Queen?A. Declaring when the UK is at war．B. Travelling around the world for charity projects.C. Inviting other world leaders to visit the UK．D. Signing Commonwealth documents every day．62. Prince William is mentioned in the passage to show that ________．A. he is popular in the UKB. many young British people do voluntary workC. he has tried to win young people’s admirat ionD. the royal family is trying to change their image63. We can infer from the passage that ________．A. British people are all in favor of the royal familyB. the British royal family are facing surviving challengesC. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal familyD. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their livesCThere are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he c an do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he wasso supportive that I sometimes longed for one of thosedads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.His other standard question –How’s the car? – used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daught er how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line.At age thirty I finally took the plunge (跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: e ven though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function – suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare – to feel he has a role in my life.64. The author’s father always showed up in his daughter’s school activities to _________.A. watch them out of his own curiosityB. guarantee she would perform wellC. support her in all possible waysD. show his own lack of fatherly love65. The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually _________.A. asking his daughter if the car breaks down or notB. reminding her not to waste moneyC. expressing his concern for her daughter’s safetyD. asking how his daughter is getting along66. According to the author, her father is unwilling to retire probably because _________.A. he wants to continue to earn moneyB. he is doubtful of her independenceC. he fears to lose his function as a dadD. he is not sure of the love from her67. We can safe ly draw a conclusion from the story that in the author’s eye her father _________.A. has a strong passion for his workB. has the deepest love for his daughterC. has great interest in his daughter’s carD. has too much control over his daughterDWhich tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year’s must have ... andBest for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, £68Aimed at children betweenthree and nine (though anine-year -old might find it alittle simple), it comes inpink or blue and with fivebuilt-in education games (you Best for teenagersiPad 4th generation,£399-£659The iPad is still themarket leader, and forgood reason.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.EPeople who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when they wake, scientists found. But recharging with a shallow nap (小睡) offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the studyadd to the evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain’s ability to strengthen memories.An average night’s sleep includes four or five periods of REM sleep, but these tendto be longer towards the end of the night. This means that adults who get less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night — and therefore inadequate REM sleep — may be damaging their mind’s ability to form strong memories. Although REM sleep is not classifiedas a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.In the most recent study, participants were shown groups of three words — such as “cookie”, “heart”, and “sixteen” — and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. In this example, the answer would have been “sweet”. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon.In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, whilethe others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups showed no improvement in their test results, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 percent.Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain —which leads to creative problem-solving —is encouraged by mental changes which occur during REM sleep. People woken while their closed eyes made rapid movements recalled much more colorful and detailed dreams than people woken during other stages of sleep.72. According to the passage, to have a good memory, a person had better _________ at night.A. sleep four to five hours at mostB. sleep as much as possibleC. have a shallow sleepD. sleep with four or five periods of REM73. If you don’t slee p seven to eight hours at night very often, _________.A. your strong memories might be ruinedB. you will tend to have longer periodsof REMC. you will have an adequate REM sleepD. your mind can form strong memories74. The third paragraph is mainly about _________ of the most recent study.A. the contentB. the participantsC. the processD. the results75. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To explain the importance of REM sleep to one’s memories.B. To introduce the new study on sleep and memories.C. To discuss the relationship between sleep and memories.D. To persuade readers to sleep seven to eight hours at night.“华安、连城、泉港、永安、漳平一中、龙海二中”六校联考2014～2015学年上学期第一次月考高三英语答题卷（考试时间：120分钟总分：150分）第Ⅱ卷 (共35分)第一节短文填词(共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分)阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示; 2）首字母提示; 3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

So while I was taking pictures, Maia, wanting to prove her 18 as anassistant, began interviewing a couple in the same ship. Unable to spell words, she 19 their answers in crayon. Then when we sat together at lunch, my daughter 20 the kids’ meal and requested the salmon (三文鱼). She explained that kids’ meals might not always be 21 during travel, so her food 22 was “try everything.” That trip proved Maia as such an easy travel 23 .When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how 24 fearless she was when we dived along a reef(礁石). And I was 25 by how she cleverly worked out that she could order chocolate cake from room 26 alone. But it was on the 27 home, when my glued-to-my-arm kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t 28 us together, that I realized how much travel was 29 her. It helped her become more 30 .As Mai a grew older, travel continued to 31 her life. We explored the Amazon rainforest, where she learned the importance of 32 our planet. We visited famous 33 in China , where she developed a deep appreciation in its rich cultures and long history. And we 34 at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Africa, where she learned the meaning of love and care.Travel has also helped Maia develop important life 35 such as independence, problem-solving, and communication. I am grateful for what travel has had on my daughter, and I am excited to see what the future holds for her.16．A．course B．talk C．journey D．quarrel 17．A．helping B．teaching C．organizing D．interviewing 18．A．worth B．belief C．discovery D．demand 19．A．spelled B．reported C．found D．drew 20．A．picked up B．turned down C．searched for D．complained about 21．A．affordable B．delicate C．available D．delicious 22．A．chain B．motto C．preference D．supply 23．A．agent B．client C．assistant D．partner 24．A．cheerfully B．foolishly C．smartly D．unpleasantly 25．A．persuaded B．puzzled C．criticized D．offended 26．A．cleaning B．service C．rent D．design27．A．train B．ship C．flight D．bus 28．A．invite B．see C．link D．seat 29．A．shaping B．comforting C．hurting D．ruining 30．A．intelligent B．adaptable C．respectful D．changeable 31．A．rule B．disturb C．enrich D．save 32．A．protecting B．controlling C．destroying D．creating 33．A．sites B．people C．parks D．shops 34．A．survived B．played C．volunteered D．spoke 35．A．styles B．values C．attitudes D．skills三、阅读理解If you are applying to universities overseas, you can’t avoid having a video interview, whether you like it or not. Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview.Step 1: Start with the basicsBefore your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it.You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection.Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备)Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories:Tell us about yourself.What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you?Do you have any questions about the school?Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics.Step 3: PracticePractice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answerthem over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation.Step 4: Don’t just interview... converseInterviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat.

Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami.Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said.In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.“The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.”CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day.Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said.Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity.41．Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______.A．was very strict with MillaB．was satisfied with what Milla didC．lost his legs in a motorcycle accidentD．threw his walker with the help of CrossFit42．What can we learn about Milla?A．She was always bullied by her schoolmates.B．She began to run because she was physically weak.C．Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race.D．She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race.43．During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________.A．had two days’ rest every weekB．was always running with her fatherC．spent over 4 hours every day of a weekD．took a hit because her father was injured44．The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______.A．told us that Milla had a hard childhoodB．showed that he was a real abuserC．encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runsD．were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors45．What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______.A．make money to open a gymB．set a good example to MillaC．make money to raise his familyD．get recovered as soon as possibleSeveral new species of tropical birds have been found on remote islands in Indonesia. Researchers have discerned the Wakatobi sunbird, a new species that lives on the small Wakatobi Islands, located in central Indonesia. They also studied olive-backed (橄榄背的) sunbirds and black sunbirds and found that some of the birds they examined actually belonged to some previously unrecognized species.The new Wakatobi sunbird looks similar to the olive-backed sunbird, but has darker feathers, shorter wings, and a higher-toned song. Zoologists believe that because it has such short wings, it never spread beyond the tiny islands. The olive-backed sunbird, however, can fly long distances, so it was able to inhabit other locations.These discoveries were part of a long-time cooperation between scientists at Trinity College Dublin and Universitas Halu Oleo in Sulawesi, Indonesia.“Specifically, we became interested in the Wakatobi sunbird because of the work of Ernst Hartert, a German bird expert active at the beginning of the 20th century,” Fionn O Marcaigh, first author on the paper, says. “He described the Wakatobi sunbird as a population with distinctive dark feathers, but he and the rest of the scientific community eventually decided that it was only a subspecies of the widespread olive-backed sunbird. We were eager to use modern methods to put this to the test.”For their research, scientists used DNA, recordings of songs and body measurement analysis to compare the sunbirds they studied, “We used a system called integrative taxonomy, which combines data on a number of aspects of the birds, including their songs, feathers, and body structures,” O Marcaigh says. “We recorded their songs using digital recorders, measured live birds caught and released by licensed netters, and used computational statistics to analyze the differences.” The scientists also obtained genetic samples which they analyzed in the lab and they found that the patterns they found were also reflected in the birds’ DNA．“I’m excited that we’ve added to the list of known species from this wonderful part of the world,” O Marcaigh says.46．What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Overestimated.B．Imagined.C．Overlooked.D．Identified. 47．How does the Wakatobi sunbird differ from the olive-backed sunbird?A．It has colorful wings.B．It flies shorter distances.C．It lives throughout Indonesia.D．It sings more beautiful songs.48．What can we know about Ernst Hartert?A．He is a scientist from Universitas Halu Oleo.B．He still takes an active part in bird research.C．He is the first scientist to use DNA to study birds.D．He inspired the researchers’ interest in the Wakatobi sunbird.49．Why did O Marcaigh study the Wakatobi sunbird?A．To determine its category.B．To investigate its habitat and behavior.C．To analyze its genetic makeup.D．To continue the study of Ernst Hartert. 50．Which aspect of the research does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Its methods.B．Its theories.C．Its impact.D．Its background.To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?51．Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?A．To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.B．To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.C．To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.D．To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.52．What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?A．Fame can block one’s achievements.B．Strong determination overcomes adversity.C．Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.D．Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.53．What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?A．Embracing uncertainty.B．Managing life’s challenges.C．Seizing hidden opportunities.D．Focusing on personal growth.54．What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?A．Cautious.B．Favorable.C．Neutral.D．Doubtful. 55．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.B．Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.C．How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.D．Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
