惠州高三三模英语试题及答案word版(2)2015惠州高三三模英语试题及答案汇总(word版)CPlaying the piano may seem like nothing special to you, but what about playing it on fruits instead of piano keys? Lin Hai, a 24-year-old graduate, did exactly that, as he made an electronic board by himself. Wearing thick glasses and a simple T-shirt, Lin looks no different to other engineering students. But under his plain appearance lies a true geek(极客)heart.When Lin was little, he loved disassembling things to look at how they work. Even though he often failed at putting them back together, his curiosity was never satisfied and he laid hands on everything, except computers. “My parents told me not to disassemble computers bec ause they’re expensive, so I researched the software instead,” says Lin. When he went to university, Lin chose a subject that was related to engineering and programming.Lin is a typical geek who often spends days in the laboratory inventing new things. His most successful invention is an electronic board he calls “Crazyer”, the one that turns bananas into piano keys. Lin’s Crazyer electronic board was inspired by a similar device built by two PhD students at MIT. Their device is called Makey Makey, which turns everyday objects into touchpads.Having seen a video, Lin was so impressed by the device that he searched for its website in the hope of buying one. But he found it’s not for sale. For most people, the story would have ended there. But for Lin, it was about to begin: “Why not make my own Makey Makey?” he thought. So he studied the videoand website, trying to figure out how it worked. “I found that the mechanism Makey Makey is based on what was similar to that of the electronic lock I built before.” sa ys Lin.From watching the video to building an electronic board and writing a program for it, Lin spent an entire month bringing Crazyer to life. His hard work paid off. With the money he earns from selling Crazyer, Lin can give back to society. Lin has helped many disabled people by building customized Crazyer boards for them. Another benefit is that the money he earns can support Lin in inventing new things. Lin’s geek spirit is always striving toward new goals.36. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Lin has attractive appearance and wise head.B. Lin made his invention on his own.C. Lin is a little different from other engineering students.D. Lin’s good at playing the piano.37. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the und erlined word “disassemble”?A. look throughB. search intoC. take apartD. focus on38. From the passage, we can know that________________.A. “Crazyer” is the most successful invention in Lin’s school.B. Lin got inspiration for inventing “Crazyer” from others.C. “Crazyer” works in the same way as Makey Makey.D. Lin copied the idea of two PhD students at MIT.39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lin’s invention did good to himself as well as others.B. Lin made a lot of money from selling his invention.C. Lin will stop inventing new things in the future.D. Lin’s invention “Crazyer” is designed for disabled people.40. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Once a geek, always a geek.C. Great minds think alike.D. Geek spirit brings great benefits.DAsk most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: “to be happy.” Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. “If you're a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer.”So who are the world's happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.“In the West, the individualistic culture means that yourmood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting. They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.”People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”Income also made a big difference to people's happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.41. According to the passage, happy people enjoy the following benefits EXCEPT ________.A. a long marriageB. better healthC. profession successD. respect from others42. In Professor Deiner’s opinion, ________.A. Asians focus more on others’ respect and approval than westernersB. Westerners care more about mutual satisfaction than AsiansC. Asians have a culture to enjoy individual happinessD. Westerners value individual happiness as much as mutual satisfaction43. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?A. Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame.B. Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.C. Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness.D. If you are from Spain, you are the happiest.44. In the last paragraph, the author seems to tell us ________.A. Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires.B. the higher income one gets, the happier life he livesC. Enough money can make us feel safe and happyD. Average income earners live the happiest life45. The passage mainly discusses________.A. cultural differences in happinessB. reasons for happinessC. the happiest cultureD. benefits of happiness第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息,请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。

"Ava,are you OK?" he asked.She was shaken,but otherwise unhurt.And then a scream came from the pickup above the waters of the bay.The driver dashed to therailing.Bauer ran up beside him.The man pointed down,saying something in Spanish.There was a car seat in the water.Struggling next to it was a girl,about two years old,terrified,floating on her back and crying. Matters quickly went worse when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. "Ava!Stay by the car!" Bauer yelled,drooping to remove his shoes.Would he get hurt?Could he reach the girl in time?No time to wonder.All he had in mind was the faith that she must be saved immediately.A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt!Bauer swam to the girl and lifted her out of the water:mouth half open,eyes nearly closed,not breathing.Standing,he laid her against his shoulder and hit at her back with the flat of his hand.Water came streaming from her mouth and slowly her eyes were opened.He pulled her close,hugging her to shelter her from the cold.A boat pulled up and hauled them aboard.Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father's actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she,too,could save lives. "That girl is going to live a whole life because of him," she says. "It's incredible."4. What can we learn about Bauer and his daughter from the first two paragraphs?______A.

A Well-organized RescueCMorogoro,Tanzia,British research scientist,Dr.Donna Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors.The project has trained about seven rats to date,taking around two weeks to get the rescue rats up to speed.These rescue rats are sent into mock(模拟的)earthquake ruins with tiny backpacks that contain microphones,video gears,and location trackers.These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time."I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes.We kit them out with a rat backpack,and train them to activate a switch when they find a victim and come back for a tasty treat. " posted Dr Donna Kean on Twitter on May 26,2022.Dr.Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work saying,"Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in rubble. " The highly swift rats never set off landmines and their natural swiftness makes them ideal for use in hard-to-navigate disaster zones.Their suitability for this work goes further,with rats being good at surviving in different environments and living off of anything.The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to beeps that call them back to their base.Dr.Kean's team collaborates(合作)with the non-profit organization APOLO for their "Hero Rats" project.These "Hero Rats" are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey,joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area.The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines,tuberculosis (肺结核),and even sniffing out Brucellosis,an infectious disease that impacts farm animals.Dr.Kean feels hopeful about her project's promising results and is excited to be the only organization in this space working with this species.8. Why are the rescue rats equipped with backpacks?______A. To monitor the rats.B. To locate the survivors.C. To record the rescue process.D. To keep track of the survivors.9. According to the passage,what can a trained rescue rat do?______A. Set off landmines accurately.B. Dig out those buried in rubble.C. Figure out the signal from beeps.D. Complete the task without a reward.10. What make(s)rats outweigh other animals in this project?______A. Their efforts in training.B. Their nature of rescuing.C. Their eagerness for survivals.D. Their adaptability to environments.11. What can be inferred about the "Hero Rats" project?______A. The results fail to prove the potential.B. The rats have to be trained repeatedly.C. The project probably pioneers in the space.D. The rats have been widely used in various fields.DWhen the Titanic sank,approximately 1,509 of its 2214 passengers passed away.A majority of them died because the ship carried lifeboats for only half of the people on board.By all accounts,most died either by drowning or of hypothermia,since the temperature of the water was -2° C (28° F),in which death occurs in about fifteen minutes.The survival rate for men was 19%,for women 72%,and for children,50%.Most survivors were first class passengers,followed by second class,and finally third class.Six of the seven children in first class survived,and all of the children in second class survived,but only about 31 percent were saved in third class.In short,the available evidence from the Titanic disaster suggests that we often care for others,even at some cost to ourselves.But why Do we in fact psychologically tend to be altruistical?Or are we blank slates (白板)on which culture and education draws our character,for better or worse?The survival rates of women and children appear to support the former explanation;but the culturally prejudicedexplanations of those facts appear to support the latter.Is there a way to judge between them?The blank slate theory of human nature is related to the seventeenth-century English philosopher,John Locke.He argued that the mind should be considered as a blank sheet of paper until it is furnished by experience,which varies from person to person.Locke's theory was a particularly effective way to weaken the influence of the church and of king's right to rule,both of which were held to be self-evidently true. The belief of the blank slate has proved to be greatly influential,extending far beyond the field of political theory.The social sciences generally have tried to explain human behavior as a product of the socialization of children by culture and education.12. Which group has the highest survival rate in the Titanic accident?______A. Men in second class.B. Men in third class.C. Children in first class.D. Children in second class.13. What does the underlined word "altruistical" in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. Benefiting others.B. Hurting oneself.C. Receiving education.D. Making explanations.14. Why does the author mention the survival rate______A. To make a survey.B. To describe a scene.C. To provide evidence.D. To summarize the event.15. Which of the following would John Locke probably agree with?______A. Culture and education shape our character.B. Adult minds are like a blank sheet of paper.C. Humans are born kind and willing to sacrifice.D. A powerful government will change the culture.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Being "outdoorsy" can stir up images of big beautiful national parks,snowy slopes or thick forests.

Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream.

AIn New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students. For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York's Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language programs, in which students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Math, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages. And they learn about the culture of the other country.Milady Baez, Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support, says these dual-language programs will help children succeed in the future. "The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be traveling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them."Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first language, Mandarin."It makes me feel that I am home becauseI can speak in Chinese, learn in Chinese, while learning in English. So it makes me feel better and makes me understand more about the task I'm learning."Anastasia Hudikova came to the United States when she was 2 years old. She says the Russian-English program keeps her connected to her heritage and her parents happy."They're really happy about the program. They are really happy that I can preserve my culture and my language, and that I can speak it fluently in school." The New York schools also offer dual-language programs in seven other languages: Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future.While these dual-language programs are popular, some organizations in the U.S. say teaching English comes first. U.S. Studies show that children who learn English early will be more successful later.1.Dual-language programs in New York aim to __________.A. help the students learn betterB. rid the students of homesicknessC. attract more international studentsD.prevent the students forgetting their culture2.Who may not quite agree with dual-language programs?A. Milady BaezB. Kequing JaingC. Anastasia Hudikova’s parentsD. some organizations in the U.S3.

AI had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case,the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.I sat, stunned, for about half an hour,wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a lifechanging difference to that boy without even knowing it?What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before,when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly,and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the back of the room.”That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more,and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.26. We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt _______.A. satisfiedB. nervousC. happyD. surprised27. Why did Simon’s mother c o me to visit her son’s teacher?A. Because she worried about her son’s poor work.B. Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the teacher.C. Because Simon asked her to do so.D. Because she wanted to know her son’s performance in the school.28. The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer EXCEPT _____.A. unconfidentB. lonelyC. outgoingD. clever29. What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to _______.A. encourage Jeanne to speak louderB. encourage Simon to work hardC. ask Jeanne to convince SimonD. tell the students that Simon was expert on that.30. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. tell the story of SimonB. tell teachers how to be kind to studentsC. advise the readers to be kind to others.D. share a valuable lesson with readers.BRecently I have discovered it’s often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. I post to my blog six days a week. I take notes every day. I write in my one-sentence journal every day. Many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. If I try to do something just four days a week, I spend a lot of time arguing with myself: Is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? Does the week start on Sunday or Monday?If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. Andy Warhol wrote, “Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more. ” Gertrude Stein made a similar point, “Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”So if there’s something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.31.

Power Of Everyday RepetitionCPlaying the piano may seem like nothing special to you, but what about playing it on fruits instead of piano keys? Lin Hai, a 24-year-old graduate, did exactly that, as he made an electronic board by himself. Wearing thick glasses and a simple T-shirt, Lin looks no different to other engineering students. But under his plain appearance lies a true geek(极客)heart.When Lin was little, he loved disassembling things to look at how they work. Even though he often failed at putting them back together, his curiosity was never satisfied and he laid hands on everything, except computers. “My parents told me not to disassemble computers because they’re expensive, so I researched the software instead,” says Lin. When he went to university, Lin chose a subject that was related to engineering and programming.Lin is a typical geek who often spends days in the laboratory inventing new things. His most successful invention is an electronic board he calls “Crazyer”, the one that turns bananas into piano keys. Lin’s Crazyer electronic board was inspired by a similar device built by two PhD students at MIT. Their device is called Makey Makey, which turns everyday objects into touchpads.Having seen a video, Lin was so impressed by the device that he searched for its website in the hope of buying one. But he found it’s not for sale. For most people, the story would have end ed there. But for Lin, it was about to begin: “Why not make my own Makey Makey?” he thought. So he studied the video and website, trying to figure out how it worked. “I found that the mechanism Makey Makey is based on what was similar to that of the electr onic lock I built before.” says Lin.From watching the video to building an electronic board and writing a program for it, Lin spent an entire month bringing Crazyer to life. His hard work paid off. With the money he earns from selling Crazyer, Lin can give back to society. Lin has helped many disabled people by building customized Crazyer boards for them. Another benefit is that the money he earns can support Lin in inventing new things. Lin’s geek spirit is always striving toward new goals.36. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.

Lin got inspiration for inventing “Crazyer” from others.C. “Crazyer” works in the same way as Makey Makey.D. Lin copied the idea of two PhD students at MIT.39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lin’s invention did good to himself as well as others.B. Lin made a lot of money from selling his invention.C. Lin will stop inventing new things in the future.D. Lin’s invention “Crazyer” is designed for disabled people.40. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Once a geek, always a geek.C. Great minds think alike.D. Geek spirit brings great benefits.DAsk most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: “to be happy.” Ed Deiner, an American ps ychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.Many people would say that this question does not need an an swer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. “If you're a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer.”So who are the world's happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.“In the West, the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting. They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.”People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”Income also made a big difference to people's happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.41. According to the passage, happy people enjoy the following benefits EXCEPT ________.A. a long marriageB. better healthC. profession successD. respect from others42. In Professor Deiner’s opinion, ________.A. Asians focus more on others’ respect and approval than westernersB. Westerners care more about mutual satisfaction than AsiansC. Asians have a culture to enjoy individual happinessD. Westerners value individual happiness as much as mutual satisfaction43. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?A. Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame.B. Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.C. Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness.D. If you are from Spain, you are the happiest.44. In the last paragraph, the author seems to tell us ________.A. Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires.B. the higher income one gets, the happier life he livesC. Enough money can make us feel safe and happyD. Average income earners live the happiest life45.
