AExperience the welcoming culture of the Greek islands. Suntours Holidays offers you the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit unspoiled island of Kefalonia. Stay at the recently renewed Casa Stanoupolos Hotel, a mere five minutes from the beautiful blue waters of the Aegean. Each room has a balcony with a view of the beach, and a private bathroom. The hotel has two pools and a Jacuzzi(按摩浴缸), as well as its own highly-rated restaurant, where you can enjoy some of the island’s more traditional meals.Holidays include all flights and transfers, as well as a choice of two exciting tours, including a boat trip to nearby Turkey, a chance to dive in the pure waters, or a visit to one of the local villages, where life continues much as it has for the past few hundred years. Call now on 555-143-4873 for more information on this fascinating vacation opportunity.132B, West BaysideSan FranciscoCA24th August 2015 Dear Sir,I’m writing to complain about a recent trip I took with Suntours. I originally signed up for a two week trip to the island of Kefalonia, as advertised in Newsmonth magazine, and was looking forward to enjoying the holiday eagerly. Unfortunately, I felt that a number of things spoiled the vacation for me. Firstly, I was led to believe that all rooms in the hotel had a balcony with a view of the beach. However, my room not only did not have a balcony, but it faced away from the sea. Secondly, only one of the hotel’s pools was open, the othe r was still under construction, and the promised Jacuzzi was not there at all. The hotel’s restaurant was excellent, but it was closed twonights a week, meaning that my family had to walk about two miles into the nearest town to eat, as there was no evening bus service. Finally, we took the tour to Turkey, but were left on the boat, as nobody reminded us to bring our passports along.I feel very disappointed about the trip, and would appreciate some compensation(赔偿).Yours truly,Dave Clayman21. According to the advertisement, a tourist can enjoy ________.A. a free mealB. a private beachC. a chance to visit a second countryD. a boat trip to a local village22. On the vacation, Mr. Clayman is satisfied with _________.A. the tour to TurkeyB. the lack of a bus serviceC. the food in the restaurantD. the view from his window23. What does Mr. Clayman ask Suntours to do?A. No cheating again.B. Paying some money back.C. Giving him an apology.D. Correcting the advertisement.BPerseverance, the quality of never giving up when facing great challenges, lies behind every great achievement in anyone’s life. With perseverance a lame boy can learn to swim; with persistence a conquered country will win freedom.Only with strong determination can people fight their way to final victories. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have obtained their status because they have had the will to overcome numerous difficulties. Outstanding athletes go all out to train themselves. Their willpower is beyond imagination. We all have read of great musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs recorded in history. Always they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance. As to students, quite a big number of them have been successful through perseverance. However, a certain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.The same is true of many rich businessmen. What we usually see are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady efforts. Of all the countless examples the story of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most outstanding.The 65-year-old man from Kentucky had a dream to start a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world. To realize his dream, he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the secret recipe (配方)he had. Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found a proper person to co-operate with. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.We can conclude that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly while lack of perseverance can only result in frustration and failure.24. Which of the following is true of perseverance?A. Lame boys need it more.B. It means never giving up.C. Most students are lack of it.D. It’s more important than effort.25. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A. Saunders succeeded all by himself.B. Saunders wouldn’t knock on 1008 door s.C. Saunders owed his success to his secret recipe.D. Saunders had failed many times before he succeeded.26. Which is the key to success according to the passage?A. Great imagination.B. Numerous difficulties.C. Continual steady efforts.D. Previous hardworking.27. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring and comparing.B. By analyzing causes and effects.C. By explanations and listing examples.D. By following the natural time order.CHave you ever imagined sending mime(哑剧)artists to the street to fight illegal traffic? Venezuela’s capital city is giving its dangerous drivers the silent treatment. Mime artists are sent to do what the police alone have not: make the illegal traffic easy to control.About 120 mime artists dressed like clowns put on white gloves. They shook their fingers at dangerous drivers, made faces or made other motions at badly behaved walkers who ran across busy roads rather than waiting at crossings. They do everything they can, of course, while silent.They found plenty to keep them busy in a city where motorcycle riders drive downpavements; buses drop passengers in the middle of busy streets and drivers treat red lights and speed limits as suggestions rather than orders.“Most people are cooperative, but bad habits are usually hard to break and some drivers just don’t change their ways,” said Neidy Suarez, an 18-year-old mime artist. “Some people got angry and shouted at us when we warned them. But most people reacted pleasantly and some offered compliments(敬意).”A former mayor of Bogota, Colombia, combined mime artists and stricter police enforcement (执法)in a program and that was widely seen as a success. Venezuela decided to copy Colombia. The streets of Venezuela’s capital city, Caracas, where too many drivers have little regard for the rules, though, may be even more chaotic than those of Colombia’s capital.Alex Ojeda, president of a cultural organization that employed professional actors to train the mime artists, said he was confident they would help, although changing the behavior of motorists would be a long-term task. “The mime artists can achieve what traffic police cannot achieve using warnings and punishments i n their efforts to maintain control,” he said. “Mime artists, on the contrary, often achieve the same goals by employing artistic and peaceful actions.”At a ceremony for newly trained mime artists, an official promised to keep up the effort “until the streets are full of creativity and education”.28. When the mime artists help the police direct traffic, they ________.A. always use body languages.B. often shout at dangerous drivers.C. usually help old walkers cross the road.D. sometimes punish the motorists for their speeding.29. The underlined word “chaotic” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. competitiveB. disorderedC. dangerousD. irregular30. Why are mime artists sent to fight illegal traffic in Venezuela?A. Because the citizens in Venezuela are badly behaved.B. Because the police in Venezuela are stricter and ruder.C. Because their way of directing traffic is accepted more easily.D. Because they can take the place of the usual way of directing traffic.31. Which of the following gives a general idea of the passage?A. Venezuela is famous for illegal traffic.B. Dangerous drivers get the silent treatment.C. Traffic police should be fired sooner or later.D. Bad habits ought to be changed in a new way.DBaltimore mother Toya Graham is being welcomed as a hero after physically removing her son from participating in the Baltimore riots (骚乱)at Mondawmin Mall earlier this week. Toya Graham has inspired “Mom Of The Year” on Twitter, and her dedication to keeping her children on the right path is applauded by many.Toya Graham, however, does not feel like a hero. She simply feels like a mom who loves her son and fears he could end up as another thug(暴徒)on the streets. Graham plans to make sure that doesn’t happen.“I don’t feel like a hero. My intention was to get my son and have him be safe. I knew the whole thing was not safe…. That’s my only son and at the end of the day, I don’t want him to be another Freddie Gray. I can’t imagine what Freddie Gray’s mother is going through. I don’t want to lose my son to the streets.”The upstanding mother of six works takes care of her family, and goes to church. In fact, Toya Graham was worried about what her pastor would think of the action she took to ensure that her son was not part of the violent activities in Baltimore this week, reports the Daily Mail. It seems Toya Graham has nothing to worry about on that front, however, as Pastor Jamal Bryant fully approves of the action Graham took to ensure her son’s safety, calling her “Mom of the Century.”Though Toya Graham understands the frustration of the Baltimore community regarding the Freddie Gray case, she does not believe that violence is the answer. The what, the how and the why of Gray’s fatal fight with Baltimore police remained a mystery more than two weeks after the event, however, it became clear the train was pulling a lot of baggage cars behind it.“I started focusing on these bricks being thrown at police officers, and I turned around, and I saw Michael. I was so angry with him that he had made a decision to do some harm to police officers... You will not be throwing rocks and stones at police officers. Who’s to say they don’t have to come and protect me from something?”32. What happened at Mondawmin Mall of Baltimore?A. Mother Toya stopped a riot happening.B. There was violence against the police.C. People stopped police catching Freddie Gray.D. Toya’s son was beaten by the police on the street.33. We can infer from the passage that Freddie Gray _______.A. was killed by the policeB. killed the police on the streetC. took part in the riots in BaltimoreD. encouraged Michael to join in the riots34. By “Who’s to say…from something”, Toya means that ________.A. the police don’t help herB. she doesn’t need any helpC. she herself was then in dangerD. the police were then in danger35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A Son Saved in Time.B. A Man Killed on the Street.C. A Mother Praised as a Hero.D. A Riot Stopped by the Police.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。
【关键字】英语洛阳一高2016年第一次高考综合模拟考试科目:英语时间:3月26日15:00— 17:00 满分:150分第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)A.(命题人:刘亚利)Below is a housing for students going to London.University accommodation (住所) officesMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is atAccommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have foun d out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.21. What is the advantage of using Loot?A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. there are some good bargains.22. A good agent can help you ________.A. know more peopleB. find cheap accommodationC. get the right accommodation quicklyD. get free information about most accommodations23. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because________.A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the final year students always offer better informationD. the landlords have little valuable informationB(命题人:张若男)Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s roof-tops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have televisions, cellphones, papers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of which was spent in doors, I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains, and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may be come an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.24.The best title for the passage would be ________.A. The pleasures of modern lifeB. Touched by the moonC. A bottomless well of silenceD. Break away from modern life25.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipment.B. Complete silence.C. The nice moonlight.D. The high mountains.26. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to ________.A. show that the writer likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have less chances to enjoy natureD. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them27.The author wrote the passage to ________.A. express the feeling of returning to natureB. show the love for the moonlightC. advise modern people to learn to liveD. want to communicate longing for modern lifeC(命题人:李珍)It has often been suggested that the ocean, rather than space ,is the true final frontier. From the extremely high pressure that threatens human lives to unknown geography that can injure people and machines alike, various things make sending human explorers hazardous. The deepest section of the ocean is the Marianas Trench, which begins at 20,000 feet. It has points where the depth approaches seven miles and the pressure reaches eight tons per square inch. That’s why the Marianas Trench remains largely unexplored to this day.Even knowing about all of the difficulties, however, some scientists feel the draw of the ocean’s depths. The environment, unfriendly though it may be to man, is friendly to others, allowing for the development of quite a few creatures not found anywhere else on the planet. The first exploration of the Marianas Trench’s floor took place in 1960. Since then, the cost of sending people back has been seen as too great.The goal, then, has been to find a way to learn about this frontier without risking the lives of explorers. One way that scientists have discovered new information is through the use of sonar. As sonar technology — a sound-based method of determining surroundings — has improved, scientists have been able to get more accurate maps of the ocean’s floor.Another method of exploration that has become more common in recent years is to use machines that have no people working inside them. These include underwater cameras and robots. The latter have become increasingly common in recent years.Although most of the robots used so far have been attached to a larger device with people aboard, the day when the robots can move independently may not be far off. As technology is being advanced, it seems quite likely that automatic robots will become more competent ocean floor explorers than humans.28. The underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “_______”A. simpleB. riskyC. necessaryD. possible29. According to the passage, what do we know about the Marianas Trench?A. It has an average depth of 20,000 feet.B. It has become easy to send humans into it.C. There are many unique animals living in it.D. Many successful explorations of it have been made.30. Which of the following is most widely used to learn about this frontier?A. Sonar technology.B. Manned exploration.C. Underwater cameras.D. Underwater robots.31. What is the author’s attitude toward robotic exploration of the Marianas Trench?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Curious.D. Worried.D(命题人:方利红)When social media first gained attention, I heard many people say online connections couldn’t possibly be real friends. But now the majority of the people I know consider at least some of their online friends to be like extended family, which made me wonder--- does social media actually encourage people to connect “in real life”?One example of online life translating into real-life interaction happens on Mashable’s Social Media Day, when thousands of people attend in-person meet-ups to celebrate the power of online connections. Another example is location-based apps that help users connect face to face by allowing them to see who else has checked in at the same store, restaurant, or party--- or even who is living in a city they plan to visit. They might then decide to seek each other out “in real life”. A Pew Internet and American Life Project (PIALA) report found that people using social networking sites have more close relationships and receive more support than others. They are also more likely to reconnect with old friends and keep up with those they are already close to.Other research shows that social media may also deepen what could otherwise be passing relationships. “What I find most interesting is that I’ve co nsistently seen that students who start a course being more introverted and not speaking up during class discussions become more outgoing and participate more when encouraged to commun icate through social media with their professors and their classmates,”said Dr. Rey Junco.However, if social media does increase the possibilities of real-life interaction, it can also sometimes complicate it. When fans of social media meet face to face, their computers and mobile devices may actually make the meeting less productive. Instead of looking at each other, they may be glued to their screens!32. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 2 are mainly used to show .A. it is necessary to make friends in real lifeB. it is inspiring to make friends whenever possibleC. the positive effects of social media have on peopleD. the good effects of Social Media Day and location-based apps have on people33. According to the PIALP report, online connections .A. can help people promote original relationshipsB. can help people become independentC. should keep pace with the timesD. should get more support from others34. The underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A. trustworthy and loyalB. unsocial and quietC. patient and modestD. nervous and disorganized35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Easier said than done.D. Everything is a double-edged sword.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(命题人:张若男)Speed is an essential skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles and e-mails to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Attacked with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. 36A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.Unlike traditional book c lubs, the point of the slowing reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book. 37 According to the journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement initiated by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels. 38 Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. 39 “ You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments—whenever you find yourself automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time—you pick up a meaning work of literature,” Kelly said. “ 40 Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive(真实的), and also ensure you will never lose your place.”A.Reach for your e-reader, if you like.B.Traditional book clubs are disappearing.C.But some of these benefits have been backed up by science.D.But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly.E.Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.F.It is to get away from electronic devices and r ead in a quiet, relaxed environment.G. Both speed-reading and slow-reading are greatly needed in reading articles and e-mails.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)(命题人:李珍)However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product only on the basis of its advantages, 41 its quality, value or style before making a decision. 42 , we are easily influenced by the people around us.There is nothing 43 with this. It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than relying on only our own 44 . But it does make life 45 for companies. They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives 46 to buy the sameproducts, but understanding the 47 has been tricky. Is it because they are so similar with 48 to how much money they 49 and what television ads they watch that they 50 arrive at the same decision? Or do they 51 one another, perhaps 52 envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?Research in Finland recently found overwhelming 53 that neighbours have a big influence on buying 54 . When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the 55 that that person would buy a car of the 56 brand during the next week and a half 57 by 86 percent. The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy. Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more.

When I observed the snowflakes falling onto my car, I really began to wonder if I was going to make it on time. Of course I must, because I have no option.About two weeks ago, what my daughter Ellen had talked about was he Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. “Mom, Rachel was supposed to sing alone, but guess what happened? She’s not! Linda will replace her to do it.” “Mom, I get to stand next to Tyler in the whole concert!” “Mom,you won’t believe it, but I Lexie’s whole family is coming to the concert, even from another state!” Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols seemed to be a pretty big deal for her.When I sat in traffic, I thought about all the school events I had attended alone. Elllen never mentioned it, but I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and her father and his family never quite managed to fit those things into their schedules. I wondered if it bothered her.At eight o’clock the concert was scheduled to begin. With only a few minutes to spare, I found myself running: first, through the snow-drifted parking lot, then through the school passage. I entered the crowded hall and found a vacant seat near the front. From her place onstage, Ellen saw me run for the chair, and she smiled. I was close enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.“Look, Ellen, there is my uncle and my cousin. They came all the way from West Virginia. I can’t believe my whole family is here!” Ellen smiled at Lexie and said, “My whole family is here, too! Look, there she is!” Ellen gave me a big smile. I saved back at her,never once noticing the melting snow dripping off my head. It suddenly occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about life, they actually taught us what life was all about.24. What’s the author’s anxiety according to Paragraph 3?A. Ellen’s disappointment without more family members comingB. Ellen’s bad performance at the Christmas concertC. Her missing the Christmas concertD. Her forgetting to tell her family about the Christmas concert25. What can we know from the passage?A.

What can we infer about the author from last two paragraphs?A. She came to the concert from another stateB .She regretted not accompanying her daughterC.

My Whole Family Is HereC. Speak out Your Love in TimeD. Conflict Ends up With a SmileAs sea levels climb, even Washington, D. C. could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide.Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Maryland’s capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor. Sometimes water covers roads in Atlantic City, N. J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood. All are suffering from this trend-----normal high tides surpass(超过) a rising sea levelSea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters(8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer.Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45tide gauges(计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweet’s team calculated the number of “ troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters(1 foot) above the historic level of the highest tides. In June 20XX年, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.In Charleston, S. C, from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. Bur from 20XX年to 20XX年, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 20XX年to 20XX年, the average was 10 times higher---39.3 days a year.“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,” Sweet says. “So today’s flooding problems promise to become only mor e widespread and frequent.”28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly developed by?A. Using examples.B. Analyzing causes.C. Making comparisons.D. Following time order.29. Why are more flooding problems caused?A. Because the river levels have been climbing.B. Because climate has changed over the years.C. Because the weather conditions are not stable.D. Because people are living too close to harbors.30. What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 5?A. There has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding evevts.B. The changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.C. The floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot.D. The number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Sweet’s teamB. A flood research.C. The US East Coast.D. American oceanographers.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted , we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree ofcloseness between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common- they often talk about rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with the marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race?32. How does the author understand “friends” in this passage?A. Every student has 6 friends.B. Everyone understands clearly how to make friends.C. All the people who get on well with each other are friends.D. Friends are closer than those just getting on well with each other.33. What should we avoid when making friends?A. Good economic condition.B. Argument and discussion.C. The same race, hobby and nationality.D. A marked difference in age and background.34. What do the underlined words “being on the wavelength” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Having the same background.B. Using the same frequency while talking.C. Having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests.D. Keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do.35. How do people strengthen friendly relationship according to the passage?A. To hold friendship ceremonies.B. To completely get rid of differences in background.C. To make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race.D. To support and understand each other by sharing experiences and emotions.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。

Youth Exchanges give small groups of 4-5 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks. These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment.Example Youth Exchanges:Youth Exchange 1Location:IrelandOther nationalities:Ireland, Spain, Italy, HungaryTheme: Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities —exploring how local issues facing our communitiesare connected to global issues. The group will also learn about the eco-village as an example of a community and take part in team-building activities.Youth Exchange 2Location: FranceOther nationalities: Bulgaria, Italy, FranceTheme:Organic gardening & continual living.

No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, wherewe are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the worki ng day. ”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space;it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.4. Hoffice was started to________.A. change people’s attitude to workB. encourage people to be more socialC. improve people’s working conditionsD. provide a co-working space for free5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. How a Hoffice day works.C. What people share at Hoffice.D. What Hoffice means to people.6. Some freelancers’descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________.A. benefit a lot from the working styleB. work longer than beforeC. expect more people to join themD. can’t be separated from each other7. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It is becoming increasingly popular.B. It has been around for quite a few years.C. It has created many new job opportunities.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.3.Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When T aylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift wasnamed Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum (白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.”said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You Belong With Me and White Horse.Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I'm being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up. ”8. As a newcomer in the show business, Taylor Swift was considered to be_______.A. a skilled songwriterB. an outstanding artistC. an energetic directorD. a promising talent9. The underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by______.A. confidentB. professionalC. excellentD. different10.What can we learn from the passage?A. Speak Now is Taylor Swift’s third album.B. Fearless marked the b eginning of Swift’s career.C. Swift’s new album is about feelings of grown-ups.D. Swift has gained Billboard magazine’s woman twice.11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A Rising Music GeniusB. Taylor’s Heartbreaks in GrowthC. An Interview with Taylor SwiftD. Billboard Music Awards in America4.If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASN) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides., The artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.12. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By offering analyses.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By presenting research findings.13. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____.A. save people from traffic accidents.B. do experiments on the space shuttleC. keep houses warm and energy efficientD. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.14. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______.A. has changed our life completelyB. costs too much of our timeC. benefits us in many waysD. has nothing to do with us15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of space explorationB. Is space exploration worth the cost?C. How to make space exploration affordableD. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program二、未分类(共2题)munication has always been one of the basic keys to success. They say great public speakers are born and not made, but there are always some tricks of the trade which will help you in becoming a great orator. 16 Read, Study and LearnReading and studying helps you to learn different words and ways to convey your idea. Watch how other speakers talk. 17 Learn from the experts and get tips from them if you can.Posture is ImportantWho said that communication is just speaking words? 18 If you stand confidently or if you are sitting up straight, it expresses that you arefocused on what you’re doing and that you know what you are speaking about. It also shows how much you value their time and attention.Show Enthusiasm19 Even a tech novice (新手) would get enthusiastic about the new invention when Jobs would present it. It’s because he had that enthusiasm which would spread to other people in a heartbeat. So you must show enthusiasm in what you are speaking about, or it will seem that even you are uninterested in what you have to say.Welcome Questions20 Allow your audience some time to ask you questions.

The night fell heavy in the heights of the mountains and the man could not see anything.All was black.Zero visibility.The moon and the stars were covered by the clouds.As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped suddenly and fell into the air, falling at great speed.He could only see black spots as hewent down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity grew more and more powerful.He kept falling, and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and badaspects of his life, his ambition, his failure, relatives, friends and…He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard.His body was hanging in the air.Only the rope was holding him and in that moment of stillness he had no other choices but to scream, "Help me!Help me, God."All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered, "What do you want me to do? ""Save me, God.""Do you really think I can save you? ""Of course!I believe you can.""Then cut the rope tied to your waist."There was a moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his strength.The rescue team tells that the next morning a climber was found dead and frozen, his body hanging from a rope.His hands holding tight to it.Only one foot away from the ground. And we? How attached we are to the rope tied to our waist? Sometimes we are always tied to what we take as the only dependence.Maybe we should have a try to let ourselves go.(1)We can know that________.A the man fell down on reaching the topB the man thought nothing duringfalling C the man was saved thanks to the rope D the man was found dead at daybreak.(2)Actually the man really believed________.A GodB himselfC fortuneD nobody.(3)What's the best title of the passage?________A Let go of the ropeB Believe yourselfC Have the Last LaughD The Master of Fate.(4)Where will we probably read the passage?________A New York TimesB Tourism JournalsC Reader's DigestD China Daily.12. The Wonder Garden, by Lauren AcamporaThis novel is really a collection of several interwoven(交织)stories of people living in the rich Connecticut suburbs.From tales of an elderly artist to a young mother to a woman whose husband just behaves carelessly, The Wonder Garden gives us an unforgettable reminder that there's often so much we don't know about what happens with our neighbors behind closed doors.3.Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, by Mary NorrisDoes someone mistaking who for whom make your blood boil? Do you want to throw a dictionary at someone for mistaking sit for cite? Enter Between You & Me.Mary Norris brings her experience working in The New Yorker's copy department to eager grammar fans in this laugh﹣out﹣loud book that looks at some of the most commonspelling, punctuation, and usage problems in the English language.4.My Struggle: Book Four, by Karl Ove KnausgaardMy Struggle is a six﹣volume autobiographical novel that follows the life of Karl Ove Knausgaard, a Norwegian father of three.In Book Four, he writes of his decision at the age of 18to move to a fisherman's village in the far north of the Arctic circle to work as a school teacher.It's there that he struggles with love, alcoholism, and becoming loved by one of his students.(1)What does the book The Wright brothers focus on?________A Invention of airplanes.B Nature of the characters.C History of airplanes.D Ordinary life of the characters..(2)Who describes his or her real life experiences in the novel?________A David McCullough.B Lauren Acampora.C Karl Ove Knausgaard.D Mary Norris..(3)Which of the following books might make you burst into laughter?________A My Struggle.B The Wonder Garden.C The Wright brothers.D Between You & Me.13. Yes, I admit it.I'm a true, incurable book abuser(施虐人).I like to fold dog ears.I like to break my books open so that their backs crack.I had a friend, who loved rubbing all the pages.I have another friend who is the exact opp osite.She needs to keep her books completely new.I understand her.But once I get to kn ow the book, I can't help but show it some tough love.Because, believe me, although it soun ds like I'm an abuser without a heart, that's what it's all about.Not hidden aggressions, or a lack of respect; not at all.Let me explain.I have one book by my favorite author Diana Gabaldon that looks like rubbish.It's comple tely wrinkled up from rain, and on its way to falling apart.I brought it like that to have her s ign it.I hope she's realized what an honor it is to her as a writer.It means, basically, that I' ve read the book to bits.I wouldn't bother to mistreat books that don't mean anything to m e.Only the best books get read well, carried everywhere, worth intense reading where I'm s o caught up with words that I will spill coffee over it.For my further defense, I would like to call in a witness.I have a cook book.Like almost all my other cook books, it's worn, and there are dirty marks of food in it.The book is called Tex-Mex-Food, Music and the Joy of Life from Texas.Just as the title suggests, this is more than a cook book.These are the words on the very first page:Tex-Max hasn't been trendy for over 30years.Considering it's anything but cheap in calories, it probably never will be, either.Tacos(墨西哥卷) are instead all about such an untrendy things as a love for life.It's something you enjo y while spending time with your loved ones.…We hope, therefore, that this cook book will soon be as dirty as a really old and used cook b ook should be.Oh, how true!How wonderful!And it's the same thing for books: whether you're a book pre server or a book abuser, the approach is based on love and a joy for life.Because I believe all who are passionate about books, are passionate people.(1)According to the passage,the writer often does the following to his book except________.A have it dog-eared. B carry it everywhere. C keep it tidy. D have dirty marks in it.(2)Why does the writer treat his favorite books badly?________A To cover up his disrespect for its author.B To conceal his aggressions to things arou nd.C To express his objection to the book preserver.D To show his strong affecti on for the book.(3)The book Tex-Mex-Food,Music and the Joy of Life from Texas is mentioned by the writer to show that________.A it is really common to have dirty marks in the cook book.B Tex-Max is not popular mainly because it's low in calories. C the writer is not alone with the view that books should be abused. D one must try some food like Tex-Max to experience the love for life.(4)What's the main idea of the passage?________A The defense of one who treats books badly.B The reasons why a certain book is pref erred.C The book lovers'different habits of reading.D The different ways to treat different books.14. Culture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans.But travel to Paris and ask your averag e French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪) and he's likely to answer, "McDonalds."Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it.Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets s tandardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is beco ming more homogeneous (同样的)-all the same-no matter where you live.True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.Grits and GravySo what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting po t culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy prod ucts, pork, beef and poultry.But American cuisine also includes products that once were kn own only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts. The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep S outh.The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle topreserve and advance their cooking traditions-and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're plea sed to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation.That's right, grits and gravy a re back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah.Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants. In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experienc e this extraordinary cuisine for themselves.Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine bec omes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and inspiring to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularityin these increasingly homogeneous times.(1)According to the passage,American cuisine impresses people as being________.A dull and changeless.B rich and various.C popular and delicious.D disag reeable and unpleasant.(2)It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that________.A cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America.B American cuisi ne has become increasingly lacking in variety.C American cuisine tends to vary because of immigration. D American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines.(3)From the passage,we know that grits and gravy________.A were cooked with new materials after the Civil War.B are gaining popularity in the s outh of America.C were more popular over ten years ago.D are seldom served in restaurants.(4)What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America?________A Concerned and cautious.B Hopeless and doubtful.C Positive and supportive.D Critical and disapproving.四、(每小题10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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.

We knew roughly what we wanted, but online, we couldn't get a feel for something that big. So my wife and I went to the bricks and mortar( 灰浆) home electronic giant, only to stand there puzzled looking at exactlyone fridge. The clerk cheerily told us, "We don't have any for you to actually look at, but you can look through a huge selection right here on this computer. "We were preparing for our first child, so we'd been doing lots of shopping. But as the weeks went by, I walked into many a store to get the same response : "'No, it's not at the store, but we'll happily mail it to you. No, we don't carry it, but you can order it online. "Shopping online is of great convenience. But not too long ago online stores were not used to buy everyday essentials. I want to look at the side of a fridge and notice that. it's black. Most of all, I want instant satisfaction. When I buy something, I want it now, not in the 7-14 days it takes to order, get it out of the warehouse and ship it to my house.Online stores make sense. Bricks and mortar are expensive, so. keeping everything in stock in every store is impractical. The Internet is about making life easy and fast. That's the way it is when you buy an e-book or a mobile application. But as the Internet begins to have an effect on other products, I'm backing down.It turns out that I don't want the Internet to replace stores.

If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you'll feel happy.Professor Vicki Black, a psychology at Harvard, says gratitude (感谢) is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks, Black uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom's viewpoint. He explains how people have benefited - even improved their health.As a leading scholar, Black notes it may be difficult to express gratitude, because gratitude is always other-directed. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis---anger, hatred and bitterness--- is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life's blessings only after these are lost.Black, to enable gratitude, encourages the readers of Thanks to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude.I'm not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Black was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and receivers. The chance led me to this book.Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I'll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Black.29. Why was Vicki Black's book Thanks mentioned?A.

When you live a comfortable life.D. When you are congratulated on your success.31. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Gratitude is important to happiness.B. There are many ways of being thankful.C. Being thankful will keep you fit.D.

Another group of scientists found that January temperatures in the Arctic hit a record high. The sea level researchers gathered information going back 28 centuries. Their findings were released(发行;释放) Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Robert Kopp, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, is the paper's lead author. He said the 20th century rise was "extraordinary" when compared to the past 3,000 years. And, Kopp said, "The rise over the last two decades has been even faster. "When temperatures rise, so do sea levels. That is because snow and ice melt, or break off from glaciers. They flow 'into the sea. The increased water makes the sea levels rise.The best judgements show that temperatures around the Earth have risen more than a half-degree Celsius since 1880. Scientists say that most of that rise is because of gases, released into the air by machines that humans have built. And it is not going to get better.The water is going to rise, said Stefan Rahmstorf . He is a professor of ocean physics at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany and the study's co-author. "I think we can definitely be confident that sea level rise is going to continue to accelerate if there's further warming," he told The New York Times. He said "inevitably (不可避免地) there will be" more warming, which means it will continue to rise.The researchers said the Earth's sea level could rise more than a meter by the year 2100.Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration reported that temperatures at the North Pole hit record highs in January. This news comes after 2015 has been the hottest year ever recorded.On average, the North was almost 4 degrees Celsius higher in January than average temperatures between the years 1951 and 1980. This news comes after researchers reported a record low amount of sea ice up North. The National Snow and Ice Data Center said the amount of January sea ice is 644,000 square kilometers below average.32. What is the fundamental reason for sea level rise according to the scientists?A. Gases.B. Temperatures.C. Humans.D. Machines.33. Who are the researchers of the study?A. Robert Kopp and Rutgers.B. Stefan Rahmstorf and Celsius.C. Scientists in New Jersey.D. Robert Kopp and Stefan Rahmstorf.34. What can we know according to Stefan's research?A. Sea level rise will stop.B. Sea level rise is going to speed up.C. There must be less warming.D. The temperatures at the North Pole are the highest in January.35. What's the best title of the passage?A. Sea Level RisesB. A Study of Sea LevelC. A News ReportD. Temperature Rises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人空白处的最佳选项。
