河南省重点高中联考2015年高三年级第三次质量检测试题英语模拟试卷本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)两部分。

第I卷第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.A篇With the average temperature for January standing at-50℃,it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the'Pole of Cold',the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was-71.2℃.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.Ironically,Oymyakon actually means'non-freezing water'due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat.A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders,hunters and ice-fisherman.Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition is that their animals'milk contains a lot of micronutrients.Unsurprisingly,locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries—where a flurry of snow brings things grinding to a halt,Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below-52℃.There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets-and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases,the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack.Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing,glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies,which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have melted sufficiently in order to dig it,so abonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.21.Which of the following statements about this village is true?A.Local children don’t go to school because of the extreme cold.B.People there live a hard and simple life with few modern conveniences.C.People there have a healthy and balanced diets by eating vegetables and meat.D.The name of this village—Oymyakon suggests that it’s extremely cold here.22.The sentence“If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to theRussian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.”can be put.A.before the first paragraphB.after the first paragraphC.after the sixth paragraphD.before the last paragraph23.What does the underlined phrase“grinding to a halt”probably mean in this passage?A.stoppingB.growingC.continuingD.failing24.What is the purpose of writing this passage?A.To attract more people to visit this village.B.To inform readers of this special village.C.To help solve problems facing the village.D.To draw readers’attention to poor people.B篇Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.there are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.most people read only the sports pages,the advice or the gossip columns,the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.most people don’t take the time to read the real news.they attempt to catch the reader’s interest with picture and exiting headlines.These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.the first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper.this is why editors always look for a good first page story and headlines the make you stop and look.if the headlines is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough.perhaps you will go on to read the front page anymore.they may read the headlines,but that id all.then they turn to the sports page,or comics,or advertisements.it seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore.they say they get the news on the television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you?do you read news from a newspaper?do you think it is easier to get the news from television?Or do you care about news at all?would you mind if there were no news?25.according to the passage,newspaper are_______A more popular todayB less popular todayC as popular as beforeD getting more and more popular26.according to the author,which of the following newspaper will most probably attract the reader’attention?A the ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front pageB the ones with sports news on the front pageC the ones with classified ads on the front pageD the ones with gossip columns on the front page27.according to the passage,most people read all of the following except______A the sports pageB comicsC advertisementsD the real news28.the author’s attitude toward newspaper is______A sympatheticB criticalC negativeD undeterminedC篇We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life,but most of us don’t do a very good job.This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So,you have to give a speech--and you’re terrified.You get nervous,you forget what you want to say,you stumble over words,you talk too long,and you bore your ter you think,“Thank goodness,it’s over.I’m just no

speech.What is the occasion Why are you speaking Then,gather as many facts as you can on your subject.Spend plenty of time doing your research.Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to e as many examples as possible,and use pictures,charts,and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly.Never forget your audience.Don’t talk over their heads,and don’t talk down to them.Treat your audience with respect.They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember be prepared.Know your subject,your audience,and the occasion.Be brief.Say what you have to say and then stop.And be yourself.Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps,you’ll see

Passively accepting the status quo (现状) is something that doesn't event cross my mind.My mother wrote poetry, books, and letters to the editor to try to change the world - some were published; others remained manuscripts that she worked and reworked with comments from authors she respected. She did not sit still.When, at ninety-three, illness left her only a short time to live, she told me that she had submitted her recent book of poetry to a publisher but hadn't received a response from them. So I called the publisher, only to learn that the company had stopped operating for lack of money. As my mother's health was slipping quickly, there wasn't time to find a different publisher. After a few weeks of feeling helpless, I began to look for another solution.Luckily, I found a printer, who was touched by my mother's story and quickly moved into action with me. We worked together to complete the book just a few days before I left to see my mother for the last time. I handed it to her gift-wrapped. Her pain medication made it hard for her to see and think clearly, and she struggled to read the title of the book I had given her. When she finally recognized her title, her face softened into a smile. "You remembered," she said and then passed away with no regret. And then I knew - she had expected all along that I wouldn't sit on my hands when in trouble and take action actively.Not finding a solution wasn't an option. And this has guided me through so much of my life. I live in the world of education and opportunity. This is a daily challenge.

Mwanzia is in eighth grade, having started school at a later age because he can hardly see anything. But before the new technology came into being, blind students like him in Kenya were still using Braille books for their studies.He says the technology has opened up new frontiers that were once inaccessible. "Braille books are not cheap and you have to use quite a sum to purchase one," Mwanzia explained. "But now since we have computers we get the books at virtually no cost. So we can download various books to read and then just close the program."The school adopted "assistive technology" six years ago, enabling blind students to access information from computers and iPads.Zachary Muasya, one of the school's teachers, was born blind. He has been teaching the students how to use the technology for about two years now. He says the technology presents opportunities that can level the playing field for his students. "Assistive technology equips the learners with very many skills that really make them independent in life," he said. "They can read materials like books, magazines, newspapers by themselves. And apart from that一assistive technology equips them with employable skills."The assistive technology costs $1,000 for a school to install. But an NGO called InAble has provided it to the schools at no cost. So far, four out of Kenya's 11 schools for the blind have adopted the technology. InAble says it will provide the funding for the remaining schools to come on board.Peter Okeyo, the program manager at InAble, says, "The fact is that they learnt that technology in primary and high school, but when they move to university, they realize there is not that technology, they have to go back to Braille."28. Why did Lucas Mwanzia start school at a later age?A. He was very poor.B. He had bad vision.C. There is no new technology then.D. There is no school for the blind.29. What disadvantages did Braille books have according to Paragraph 2?A. They're out of fashion.B. They're unfit for the blind.C. They're quite expensive.D. They're hard to read.30. From what Zachary Muasya said, we can infer that assistive technology_.A. is of great help to the blind studentsB. has been widely used by the schoolsC. is too expensive for the blind peopleD. makes the blind get more help from each other31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new technology has a bright future.B. The blind must receive further education.C. It's hard to adopt the technology.D. Some challenges remain for the blind.DIn New York, students at 18 schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle. Started by Anna Giordano in 2014 } it teaches kids to recycle, compost(制成堆肥)，and reduce food waste.Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins - compost, recycle and share. While the first two are common in schools, the third is rare, where kids can put their unwanted drinks, fruits, and even untouched sandwiches. Items in the container are available for any student that wants them. Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank. Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2!To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home, the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling, composting, trash and food to donate. They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.But, as we're all aware, kids aren't the only ones that waste food -- adults are equally bad, if not worse! To prevent that, Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supperclub in 2014. The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-course meal for a mere $50 USD per person. It is also a plan to save waste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and, therefore, headed for the trash bin.The other catch? Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)! The place, of course, is totally clean. It is just a symbolic gesture. In addition to helping people rethink their actions, Treuhaft also helps them do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.32. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. The importance of saving food.B. Ways to form the habit of saving food.C. Positive moves to reduce food waste.D. The reasons for calling on people to share food.33. From the second paragraph we can infer that_.A. students are more generousB. the program enjoys a success in schoolsC. food is wasted seriously in ail schoolsD. students show no interest in the program34. What do we know about We Future Cycle?A. It has a very long history.B. It donates its profits to schools.C. It educates parents as well as children.D. It occasionally provides people with free dinner.35. What is the significance of eating in a dumpster according to Treuhaft?A. It is nicer and cleaner.B. It is environmentally friendly.C. It can save much money and energy.D. It can help people think about the food waste problem.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。

技术与人的关系，是一个不断演变的历史过程。

在手工劳动中，原始技术同劳动者不可分离。

手工劳动的技术，是最原始的技术，表现为劳动者的技能，即手控制手工工具的能力，亦称手工技能。

这种原始技术本质上是人的体能。

人的体能有两种功能：一是改变物体状态的能力，即体力。

二是控制物体的能力，在手工劳动中就表现为控制手工工具的能力。

这就是最早的技术——体技或手技。

所有的技术都是人对自己的超越。

人的双手的动作不准确、不精确，而手工技术追求的就是一准二精。

这种准确性和精确性的提高，不是通过工具，而是通过劳动者的苦练得来的。

“熟能生巧”，这“巧”是手之巧，靠的是熟练。

手工技能是由双手的动作的准和精表现出来的，它在一定程度上超越了人的生理局限，提高了人的生理功能，是“生理性技术”。

手工技能很难用语言文字来表达，它本身也不是知识，也不需要知识作为前提条件。

它只可意会，不可言传。

别人要学习这种技能，主要靠动作的模仿和用心去领悟。

这种技术的传授必须面对面进行。

这种手工技能是劳动者的身体所具有的，存在于劳动者体内，离开了劳动者的双手，这种技能就不再存在。

这种技能与其说是“社会的”，不如说是个人的，它不可能在空间上大规模传播，也不可能在时间上世代相传。

由于人具有高度的个性，所以手工技能也具有一定的个性。
