现吨市安达阳光实验学校高三课时训练题8(时间：60分钟)I. 阅读理解AKatie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office. "Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?" I asked. "I lose it," she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie. " She didn't care. "Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?"I took a new track. "No. I just lose it," she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said "Katie".Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.21. What did the author think of Katie?A. She performed well at school.B. She was a girl filled with love.C. She often made trouble at school.D. She used to be a discipline problem.22. Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A. She lost her homemade lunch.B. She had her homemade lunch stolen.C. She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch.D. She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy.23. What was Katie's parents' reaction to the truth about the lunch?A. They were very angry.B. They were proud of Katie.C. They were disappointed.D. They were rather upset.24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret.B. Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk.C. Katie's secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident.D. Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered.BFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox, the kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport. They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict rules of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox-hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against fox-hunting, because they think it is brutal(残暴的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox-hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party member of Parliament(英国议会), Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.28. Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to ______.A. benefit the farmersB. get entertainmentC. show off their wealthD. limit the foxpopulation29. The opponents of fox-hunting often discourage the game by ______.A. using violenceB. taking legal actionC. seeking help from farmersD. confusing the fox hunters30. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______.A. protect wild animals like foxesB. control fox-hunting on a large scaleC. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesD. standardize the behavior of fox-hunting31. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Limiting the fox population is unnecessary at all.B. Killing foxes with poison is not allowed by the law.C. Hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent.D. Fox-hunting causes conflicts between hunters and farmers.CAlthough most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有运动家品格的人) respect the other players on their team. They respect he players on opposing teams. They respect coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games. 36 they yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.Kids usually learn sportsmanship ─ good and bad ─ from the adults in their lives 37 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.38 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life! 39 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.So be a good sport in whatever you do! 40 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.A. Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.B. On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.C. The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.D. Players 'parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.E. We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.F. Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.G. If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom完形填空Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business Semco in Brazil at the age of 21.

York,America’s biggestcity,commonly have numbers for names.But this is unusual.Inthe United States,the process of naming a school often involvesparents and the community as well as elected schoolleaders.Researchers say school names can show civic valuesand also shape them.For example,naming a school after ahistoric person becomes a way to teach students about that person’s importance in history.A new study examines the naming of American public schools.The study is from the Manhattan Institute,an organization that does public policy research.The study shows that fewer and fewer schools are being named after people.Instead,more schools are being named after the local area or natural features like hills,trees or animals.The researchers say these changes raise questions about the civic duty of public education.They looked at seven states with twenty percent of all public school students in the country.They found similar results in every state:new schools are less likely to be named after people.This is true especially with presidents.For example,in Arizona,public schools in the past twenty years were almost fifty times more likely to be named after such things as landforms or plants.School officials say they try to choose names that will not offend anyone.For example,a few years ago,the city of New Orleans banned the naming of any school after a person who owned slaves.Other school systems have rules against naming new schools after any person,living or dead.The researchers say naming a school after a person can lead to important debates about democratic values.They call for more researches to identify the causes and effects of the changes in school names.The causes may include changes in American culture as well as in the political control of school systems.16.Many schools are named after some persons so that________.A.the students can remember the schools for everB.the students can learn the importance of themC.the students can learn the national history very wellD.the students can show their civic values and attitudes17.According to the study,________.A.more schools are named after great peopleB.fewer schools are named after placesC.more schools are named after the environment where they standD.fewer schools are named after animals18.All the followings are true EXCEPT that________.A.some people used to have a greater effect on the educationB.schools are less likely to be named after presidentsC.schools have their right to choose school names to a certain degreeD.school names are now an important problem in the USA19.The main idea of this passage probably is that________.A.more new schools are being built in AmericaB.school officials control all the schools nowC.few USA schools now are named after peopleD.there are reasons for changes of school namesⅢ.任务型读写Of all the emotions (情感) that flow through your head when you go back to college,shyness to be one of the biggest emotions present.Shyness and fear can stop you from becoming the active learner that you wish to be.You may be too shy to volunteer to lead a group or too filled with fear to raise your hand when you know the answer to a question.Here are some things you should pay attention to.Don’t let your mind go elsewhere.You cannot be an active learner if you don’t know what’s going on in your class.There will always be a student or two that can disturb your focus because they are talking while a lesson is going on or their phone is going off constantly.Don’t let this trouble you.Your voice matters.During class discussions it’s important to become active in the group conversations.Ask questions when proper,but not if they are unnecessary.For example,don’t ask a question that you know the answer or can find the answer easily just to become involved (参与)in a group discussion.Answer questions if you can.Try not to guess at the answers.If you get it wrong,you will feel embarrassed.If you feel embarrassed,you will be less likely to keep contributing.Stay involved with the discussion and voice your opinion on a debate.Don’t just do the least.Check your curriculum and see what’s on it for your next class.Do some extra research that is not required to prepare yourself for possible discussions.Having extra input(输入) that was not in the textbook will impress your tutor and your classmates.Remember that if you are a shy person,it is going to be harder for you to become an activelearner in class,but you can determine your own level of involvement in your education.You are in charge of how much you learn and when you learn it.Title How to Be an Active 20.________？Problem If you are 21.________ and fearful,you can’t be an active learner.22.________ ◆Take part in group
