AA sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write skillfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift” rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They feel that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. Such people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simply do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writin g, and when they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chiefly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talent” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probably will not learn how to write effectively.A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that writing is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to learn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensively.Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a challenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings from one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing — and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writing comes from hard work — from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know.1. Why do some people think writing is difficult?A. They have no time to practice writing.B. They believe few people can write well.C. They have no good teachers to help them.D. They don’t think writing can be learned.2. It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ______.A. “natural gift” is the determining factor in one’s successB. diligence can result in successC. a person without “natural gift” is sure to fail in writingD. attitude determines what one will be3. What is the topic of the passage?A. Why writing is important.B. Whether writing is a born gift.C. Benefits of essay writing.D. How to improve writing skills.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco­friendly “green” way to treat storm water.What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the env ironment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil,and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. How ever, you don’t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco­conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.4. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.C. They can beautify the community.D. They improve the environment.5. Which of the following is the eco-friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.B. They can keep the rain and storm water.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.6. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that .A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to comeC. they require little care from the local gardenerD. they are more used to the local growing conditions7. What do we know about rain gardens?A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Androiddevices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.8. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google_______.A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.9. Which of the following statements is True?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.10. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technol ogy to open the door to privacyinvasion_______.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.B. can be used if permitted.C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.D. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.11. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.DA sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend — a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her close ly as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love no thing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.12. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefighter.13. When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.14. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.A. A lida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC. Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets15. How did Alida keep alive?A. By training her dog.B. By staying with her parents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube.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。

哈尔滨三中2015年第一次模拟考试英语试卷笔试部分第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AOne hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where ―thousands‖ of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.―This house is really not worth much at all,‖ Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else said that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.21.Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A.Because the house was too old.B.Because there is a boom in economy.C.Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D.Because the population in Detroit is small.rry Else hasn’t come into the house because _______.A.it is dangerous to enter itB.the owner doesn’t permit itC.he is not familiar with the areaD.it will break the company’s rule23.The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _______.A. $ 5,000B. $ 850C. $ 700D. an iPhone 624.The passage is most probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a news reportC. an economy reportD. a tourist brochureBRegardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the ―Swedish fashion miracle‖ actually comes from the ―less is more‖ philosophy.The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lack creativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. ―The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,‖ said The Huffington Post.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.B. Wearing T-shirts is British style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in the world.26. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ―emulate‖ in the last paragraph?A. Imitate.B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.CBabies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first ―mama‖ or ―dada‖ . The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’ brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is ―a fairly heroic data set‖, says Duke University cognitiv e neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.28. According to the first paragraph, babies______.A. might get its voice ―mama‖ by lip-readingB. learn to talk just from hearing the soundsC. like to figure out how to shape their lipsD. communicate with parents through gestures29. What is necessary in developing babies’ speech according to Lewkowicz?A. Playing baby DVD nearby.B. Teaching babies to read English.C. Speaking with babies face to face.D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.31. What would be the best title of the text?A. Babies Have Different Methods to TalkB. Babies Try Lip-reading in Learning to TalkC. Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two LanguagesD. Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign LanguageDIt’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past ―fights‖. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.―If fish are able to remember that a certain area cont ains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,‖ lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.32.What is the article mainly about?A.Fish having very bad memories.B.Fish being smarter than we thought.C.How fish improve their memory.D.What we can learn from fish.33.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.A.fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB.fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutesD.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends34.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.A.where to get food and surviveB.their enemies and fightC.where to escape to when in dangerD.their friends and help each other35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.B.Fish can remember more.C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.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。

辽宁省朝阳市三校协作体2015 届高三一模考试英语试卷（带解析）一、阅读理解（共4小题）1. When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexi a was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. Th ey live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools.

So I feel it my duty to deliver a speech here. Every now and then, we find some people spitting, littering or talking loudly in public places, which make others annoy ed. Also it’s really shameful that some travelers damage historic relics at random. Some even violate the law just for their personal interests.In my opinion, not only should education on public morals be offered, but effective laws and regulations should be established and strictly carried out to guarantee the rights of the majority. Of course,we individuals should be self-controlled and good-mannered, and be willing to offer help whenever needed.Let’s join our hands in building a harmonious society.

AA great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85February 12, 2014BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated PressShirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.【小题1】The wo rd “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.A. shortenB. sweetenC. strengthenD. brighten【小题2】Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.A. sweet and livelyB. gentle and kindC. smart and knowledgeableD. shy and attractive【小题3】What part did she regard as the most important in her life?A. A top movie star.B. A businesswoman.C. Her family role.D. Her diplomacy career.【小题4】Where does this passage possibly come from?A. A biography.B. A newspaper.C. A magazine.D. A poster. 【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】A【小题3】C【小题4】B【解析】试题分析：秀兰·邓波儿于2014年12月10号辞世，这对我们是一个巨大的损失。

The traffic is flowing smooth--smoothly during the rush hour.Can you tell me something about the traffic in your city?Yours,Li Hua 作文：Dear Editor,We made a survey in our school last week and I’d like to tell you something about the results.As is demonstrated in the bar chart, great mind worship occupies 47% of the idol worship, followed by celebrity worship which gains the percentage of 38%. 11% of the students surveyed adore people around them, for instance, teachers, parents or friends. Students without idols account for the rest of 4%.Apparently, idol worship has become a common social phenomenon among the adolescents. There is no denying that idol worship inspires us to focus on their achievements, which come from diligence, effort and persistence. However, blind worship is not supposed to be advocated because it will lead to extreme behaviors easily. As far as I am concerned, we should avoid blind worship and learn to worship our idols rationally.。
