Flaubert had it that "one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party"．It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it．A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine, concluded that "book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreaders"．The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging．Thestudy looked at 3, 635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week．The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book．The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival．Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period．Those who read up to 3.5 hours ﹣ an average of a half hour a day ﹣were 17 percent less likely．"In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a significant survival advantage, " the authors concluded．Why or how ________ remains unclear; the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship．But the findings are not so surprising．Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy．（1）Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph？________A To stress the value of reading．B To compare reading with a party．C To introduce the study on reading．D To support the findings of the study．．（2）From the text， what can we learn about the study？________A No similar study on reading has been carried out．B The process of the study lasted more than ten years．C It shows readers live two years longer than nonreaders．D It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it．．（3）What do the underlined words "that's the case" probably mean？________A Reading books enables people to live longer．B Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise．C Reading books is closely associated with longevity．D Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy．．（4）Where can we most probably read this text？________A https：∥www．theguardian．com/lifeandstyle/family．B https：∥www．barnesandnoble．com/b/books/comingsoon． C https：∥www．washingtonpost．com/news/toyourhealth． D https：∥www．thebookbag．co．uk/Book_Recommendations．．4.

Persuade people to study history seriouslyB. Attract more visitors to join in the exhibitionsC. Advise people to spend more time with familiesD. Compare the differences of four different exhibitionsBMeet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself, the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested.” Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point ofhuman attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”People's horizons (见识) are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet.”24. What do we know about Ben Saunders' first adventure?A. There was no press coverage.B. It was supported by his company.C. It was well planned and organized.D. He actually reached the North Pole.25. According to Ben Saunders, if you want to stretch your self-belief, you should _____.A. often test your confidenceB. try something adventurousC. aim to reach the North PoleD. always stretch your muscles26. Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because _____.A. he liked running a marathonB. he wanted to exercise his bodyC. he knew it might be achievableD. he was sure he could do it easily27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We have to change our views about adventure.B. We may never know our possibilities and energies.C. We should have a reason for going on an adventure.D. We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.CWe’ve reached a strange–some would say unusual–point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization, more people now die from being overweight, orsay, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse still, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public–health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public–health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body –conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower. Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American–style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do asI say—not as I do.28. What’s the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.29. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.30. The example of Finland is used to illustrate _______.A. the cause of heart diseaseB. there are too many overweight people in the worldC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the fashion of body shaping31. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or ExcusesB. Overweight or UnderweightC. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of HungerDAdults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts. A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables. Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't. Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists nowbelieve it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood. Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said, "It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.32. We can know from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parentsB. milk is beneficial to children's physical strengthC. there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's healthD. about 29 percent people wish their children good health33. Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree?A. Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did.B. Most persuasive stories about food are false.C. Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation.D. Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true.34. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strongB. parents are expected to tell children the truth about foodC. runner beans can really make children run fastD. crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By following time orderB. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By analyzing causes.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。

绝密★启用前【全国市级联考】辽宁省锦州市2017届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题试卷副标题考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：27分钟；命题人：xxx学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________注意事项．1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（题型注释）According to a team of researchers, an animals' ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life."Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures." commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies "observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve," which allows them to avoid being hit.Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly(共同地) on the research project, said in a statement, "Having eyes that send updates to the brain at试卷第2页，共10页much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly."In comparison the tiger beetle(虎甲虫)runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's(猎物)position. Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail. 1、What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about? A ．Pace of life of animals. B ．Time perception of animals. C ．Lifetime of small animals. D ．Impressive abilities of animals.2、Why can houseflies avoid being hit? A ．They can think very deeply before they act. B ．They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up. C ．They can process the information as quickly as they receive it. D ．They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.3、What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey? A ．Try to run as fast as it can.B ．Prevent itself from becoming blind.C ．Slow down to gain its time perception.D ．Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.When others get off the train to finally go home, Leonie Muller stays behind. That's because she is already home: The train is her apartment, and she says she likes it that way. The German college student gave up her apartment in spring. "It all started with a quarrel I had with my landlord," Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail. "I immediately decided I didn't want to live there anymore and then I realized: Actually, l didn't want to live anywhere anymore." Instead, she bought a subscription(会员费)that allows her to board every train in the country for free. Now, Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190 mph. She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment. "I really feel at home on trains. It's like being on vacation all the time," Muller said."I want to inspire people to question their habits and the things they consider to be normal," Muller told The Post . "There are always more opportunities than one thinks there are. The nextadventure is waiting just around the corner一provided that you want to find it."Muller frequently travels late at night, although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends. Often, she is accommodated by her boyfriend, her mother or grandmother. "Normally, we would have to have a long-distance relationship, but living on a train enables me to see him all the time," Muller told German TV station SWR regarding her boyfriend. "Most of my friends really like the idea, although some consider it to be quite adventurous. Others, however, have reacted more negatively. They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living."The only problem? "Possessing a headset that reduces most surrounding noises is important," she said.4、What do we know about the direct reason for Muller's choice to live on trains?A．She planned to act against tradition.B．She had an argument with her landlord.C．She wanted to visit more people on the way.D．She had to finish her graduate paper on the topic.5、According to Muller, which is one of the advantages of living on trains?A．She can avoid the landowner.B．She can possess a headset.C．She can escape from college life.D．She can see her boyfriend more often.6、What does Muller want to express in Paragraph 3?A．There are opportunities everywhere in life.B．The next adventure is coming soonC．People need to make changes in their life.D．People need to follow in her footsteps to live on trains.7、What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The ordinary way of life and living.B．The thought of living on a train. C．German TV station SWR.D．A long-distance relationship.Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals. Evan Lutz, CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, was inspired to act after seeing extreme poverty in areas of Baltimore, Maryland. He wants to reduce the so-called food desert in thatarea. His work is to make sure no food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America.试卷第4页，共10页And hecombines that goal with a love for business.Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells "ugly produce". These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies will throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to "ugly" surface. Everything doesn't grow the same way on a farm. But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out. That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar, shiny and perfect. Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came from his upbringing.When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn't just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison and were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life."In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show "Shark Tank" and got even more than he expected: $100,000. Lutz is using the money to realize his great mission that can really revolutionize the food industry in America. 8、The underlined part "food desert" in the second paragraph means . A ．food that grows in the desert B ．the poor areas in Baltimore C ．a lack of fresh and healthy foodD ．the desert where food can grow9、The food delivered by Hungry Harvest is . A ．popular with local fruit farmersB ．easy to be found in grocery storesC ．fresh but hard to keep for food companiesD ．healthy and available to hungry people 10、Which of the following words can be used to describe Evan Lutz? A ．Strong-willed and smart. B ．Kind-hearted and creative. C ．Warm-hearted and strict.D ．Open-minded and humorous.11、What can be a suitable title for this passage?

高中英语真题：2017届高三上学期第二次模拟考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in1976.After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5.Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.21. The underlined word “confidants” in paragraph 3 probably means ____.A. enemiesB. collegesC. friendsD. painters22. How old was Li Qiujun when she died?A. 50B. 75C. 78D. 8423. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.B. Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.C. Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape inHong Kong.D. Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.2.A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says."You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age."The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."24. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ______.A. their biological clock is not powerful enoughB. the most definitive evidence has been foundC. they have a higher actual age than othersD. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate25.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. We all should keep healthy lifestyleB. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventionsC. Biological clock predicts life expectancyD. Horvath builds an important milestone3.As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by ma ny first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I wou ld gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.Langshan village is said to be the birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea whileheating it in an iron pot, and then add edible oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro and fried beans.The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distin ctive flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”28. Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ______ when taking a sip.A. popularB. strangeC. addictedD. beneficial29. What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?A. She never expected that she would gradually accept “oil tea”.B. She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.C. She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.D. She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.30. Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowlsb. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the teac. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etcd. add edible oil and boiled watere. filter off the solid residuesA. bdeacB. dbaceC. acebdD. beadc31.

You canpicture the scene of the man--it is usually a man--driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 37 And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.38 For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（简历）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing（贬低）of you in the eyes of the boss. 39Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 40 Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.C. There are times when you know you don’t have the relevant experience.D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.2. I’ve dreamed of becoming a writer since I was a teenager.
