高中英语真题:学2016届高三第三次模拟考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.The International Voluntary Service runs a number of Youth Exchanges throughout the year. 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.

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.

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.

AMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“J ust how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrotethem a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”,and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.21.Why did the writer get into the old couple’s car?A.His parents were in the car. B.His car had broken down.C.His friend told him to do so.

To most people,making a paper plane could be one of the simplest things to do. It’s the simplest and easiest form of paper art. And paper art can be traced back to Japan, where it originated over a thousand years ago. However, there’s a special minority who takes paper art to the next level,magically turning the plain white or colored paper into some of the most amazing artworks. Check out the following artists and their works!The Danish artist Peter Callesen is famous for his talent in combining the minimalism(极简的) of a white sheet of paper with the complexity of carefully cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some pleasing works.The British artist Su Blackwell often goes to secondhand bookstores—to look for materials with which she can carve out delicate sculptures. The models look as if they “grow” naturally from the pages of the books. The artist finds inspiration from the book title or a paragraph or picture inside and then spends months carefully slicing each one into an eye-catching paper model. Her old book sculptures sell for up to £5,000 each.By carefully folding simple pieces of paper, German artist Simon Schubert creates amazingmasterpieces. He turns paper into architectural masterpieces by folding a simple piece of paper to shape the creases(褶痕), then unfolding it to show the fascinating artwork.Another master of paper-folding is Jen Stark. Her artwork is often in the form of colorful caves and topographic(地形的) maps. Using her vivid imagination and a special knife, she is a modern day magician who turns humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic, complicated sculptures that puzzle the eyes. Her work draws inspiration from nature. 25.According to the passage, paper art ________.A.is about plane-folding B.is most prosperous in JapanC.dates back to 1000 B. C.

B.unclear. C.appreciative. D.negative.CIf you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as t'ai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.”29.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.A.hard B.regular C.practical D.flexible30.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________.A.suggest giving up jogging B.show risks of doing sportsC.provide supportive evidence D.introduce the research process 31.According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?A.It may injure the heart and arteries. B.It can make the body tired out.C.It will bring much pressure. D.It consumes too much energy.32.What can be inferred from the text?A.No exercise at all is the best choice. B.More exercise means a healthier life. C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.DThe following are introductions to some programs that BBC I London will show on TV.12:25 a.m. Tuesday The Real Swiss Robinson FamilyLaura worried that her children have had their life too easy due to her husband’s career in big business, so she decides to take her teenagers to the Cook Islands to experience the simple life.They face storms and a lack of food, but Laura is happy as their local guide shows them the isl and’s wealth of rare fruits and foods.11:00 a.m. Wednesday Orangutan DiaryA Team have come across an armed man who is holding two baby apes who were captures, one of them, David, is sent to a medical emergency in the forest.Later a center director, Nielsen,finds a suitable place to set free more rescued animals.7:50 p.m. Thursday Lost Buildings of BritainSimon Thurley visits the ruins of Glastonbruy Abbey(修道院),which , before its destruction by Henry VIII, was famous for some of the most amazing stained-glass of its age.It also had a great deal of financial power, acting as the center of an influential business empire.Eventually, it was the king’s envy of the abbey’s wealth that changed the abbey’s fate.10:35 p.m. Thursday Nigella ExpressNigella presents ideas for impromptu(即兴的)cooking, from new recipes and suggestions for taking advantage of the food you have to making quick, simple and impressive meals.33.Why is Laura worried?A.Life on the Cook Islands is too simple.B.Her husband faces difficulties in his business.C.Storms are approaching her hometown.D.Her children may not know how to cherish life.34.Jim enjoys TV programmes of people or organizations that take care of animals.
