2015～2016学年第二学期高三第十一次模拟考试英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AAfter spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Co lvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’ ”“Impressed--she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil--Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Mrs. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”Mrs. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste o f words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.1.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________ .A.

She began to take an interest in journalism.A. d→e→c→a→bB. b→c→d→e→aC. e→d→c→b→aD. c→b→e→d→a3. From the last paragraph, we can know that Mrs. Colvin ________.A. dislikes the choice of her daughter.B. cares little about her daughter.C. knows her daughter very well.D. doesn’t fully appreciate her daughter.4. What can be the best title of the text?A. Covering Stories in a Dangerous Conflict Area.B. Applying for Top Universities, a Successful Case.C. Choosing Lifelong Careers Based on Your Own Interest.D. Recalling Her Daughter, a Journalist Killed in Syria.BDeath rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的) problems．However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：“Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．”5．From the text we can know_____．A．heart disease no longer threatens the BritishB．the heart death rate among British men is lower than among womenC．the old mainly dies of stroke in EuropeD．the heart death rate in Ukraine is higher than in Britain6．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

Where is the text most likely to have been taken from?A. A speechB. A storyC. A scientific studyD. A personal diaryCAn environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar pro duct transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.9. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food productsB. some imported goods causes environmental damageC. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damageD. people wasted energy buying food from other countries10. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distanc e ________.A. that a food product travels to a marketB. that a food product travels from one market to anotherC. between UK and other food producing countriesD. between a Third World country and a First World food market11. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian onesB. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes onesC. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuelD. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money12. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.A. a supporter of free global tradeB. a member of a Food CommissionC. a supporter of First World food marketsD. a member of an energy development groupDDog FancyCover Price: $ 59.88 Price: $ 12.00 ($ 1.00 / issue)Details:Dog Fancy is information driven and provides opportunity for reader interaction.

AMy father was a foreman（领班）of a sugar-cane plantation（甘蔗种植园）in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. Every day I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick（扫帚柄）. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being resp ectful and faithful to the people one works for. More importantly, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we coul d make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-confidence, one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course（赛场）near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of tree branches and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with thesame devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.1. The underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. difficultB. boringC. interestingD. unusual2. The writer learned that_______ from his first job.A. he should work for those who he liked mostB. he should work longer than what he was expectedC. he should never fail to say hello to his ownerD. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for3. _______ gave the writer self-confidence.A. Having a family of eight peopleB. Owning his own golf courseC. Bringing money back home to help the familyD. Helping his father with the work on the plantation4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.B. He wanted to buy a golf course near his house.C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.BSpeed reading is a necessary and vital skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and tweets（微博）to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of the text. With so much information available through our electronic devices, it would be impossible to get through everything if we read word by word, line by line.But a new trend calls on people to unplug（拔掉电源插座）and enjoy reading slowly, one that claims to have benefits beyond intellectual stimulation（智力上的刺激）by speed reading.A 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 comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour.Unlike typical（一贯的）book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn’t to exchangeideas about certain books, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the story, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the traditional way of reading.Traditional readers, like Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others. Some of these benefits have been backed up by science. For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that mature people who take part in activities that use their brain, such as reading, suffer less memory loss as they get older. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels in the traditional way helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs—a key skill in building relationships.5. Speed reading is a necessary and vital skill in the Internet age because people______.A. have to grasp the meaning fasterB. have much more information to readC. no longer read word by word, line by lineD. must use their smartphones more frequently6. Members of the Wellington book club are expected to______.A. read peacefully for an hourB. make coffee for the other membersC. regularly swap ideas about booksD. turn off their smartphones for recharging7. According to the Neurology study, who is most likely to suffer memory loss?A. A 65-year-old man who rarely reads.B. A 79-year-old woman who reads regularly.C. A 17-year-old middle school student who seldom reads novels.D. A healthy 24-year-old university graduate who often plays games.8. What’s the author’s attitude towards the way of re ading slowly? __________A. DesperateB. NeutralC. PositiveD. IndifferentCI was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solidwhite line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual （相互的）trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'll deliver; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.9．Why did the author feel impatient while driving?A. Because he had already driven for a long time.B. Because it was too far away from his destination.C. Because something urgent happened in his family.D. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.10．The author stopped at the traffic light because _________ .A. there were passers-by crossing the roadB. some policemen were on duty just at that pointC. the trust between people influenced the authorD. there was potential danger11．What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?A. A11 the things would run normally.B. The social system would be thrown into disorder.C. The social traditions would be abandoned.D. Strict rules and laws would be made.12．What is the theme of the passage?A. Mutual Trust is the best policy.B. A bird in hand is worth two in bush.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.DHow cool can libraries be in an age of iPods and Kindles? More than you think．Only if you know where to go.Central Library: Seattle, Washington, United StatesThe Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours. It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus. Tours began in 2006, two years after its opening. The library holds various art exhibitions, book signings and other events, while visitors can stop by the Chocolate cart for a coffee and scan through the gift shop anytime.Trinity College Library: Dublin, IrelandThe Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. It is the largest single library in the world, also known as the Long Room, which contains more than 200,000 of the library's oldest books. The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps（竖琴）in Ireland. Dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol foreland.Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United StatesAt first glance, it looks like a spaceship. Architect William Pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston, Texas, designed the library in 1970. It hasbeen featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels. The library hosts “Dinner in the Library,” which invites readers for cocktails, and also special speeches from distinguished authors．TU Delft Library: The NetherlandsThe library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than 862,000 books, 16,000 magazines and its own museum．The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual library. What makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill. The roof covers 5,500 square meters. And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.13．Which of the four libraries has the longest history?A. Central LibraryB. Trinity College LibraryC. Geisel LibraryD.TU Delft Library14．What makes Geisel Library different from the others is that _____________.A.

AChinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s he alth. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.1. It can be concluded from the text that __________.A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her researchB. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatmentC. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her workD. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate2. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.A. a sense of national prideB. relevant academic knowledgeC. a desire to achieve successD. enthusiasm for scientific research3. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.A. inform readers of the news and make commentsB. discourage the pursuit of instant success in scienceC. remind readers of the principles of scientific researchD. praise the award winner and encourage scientific researchBLost iPhoneUnexpectedly, I lost my white iPhon5s in Midtown on Friday night,.

Birds , fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time . They move for different reasons : most of them move to find food more easily , but others move to get away from places that are too crowded .When cold weather comes , many birds move to warmer places to find food . Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed . The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish , which is called “ salmon ” . This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water . There it spends its life . When it is old , it returns to its birthplace in fresh water . Then it gives birth and dies . In northern Europe , there is a kind of mouse . They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded . They move down to the low land . Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside , and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea .Recently , scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）. Every year , when the season of the bad weather arrives , the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean . Nobody knows why they do this , and nobody knows where they go .So , sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another , but at other times we don’t . Maybe living things just like to travel .12.

The fish called “ salmon ” spends a long time in __________ .A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. itsbirthplace14.
