广东省广州市2017年高考二模英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（30分）AMany people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, or those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new sur roundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first? ________A．They find foreign living much easier.B．They have the necessary language skills.C．They love the adventure and exploration.D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22．According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face? ________ A．Homesickness.B．Culture shock.C．Health problems.D．Lack of employment.23．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do? ________A．Study the local language.B．Go on holidays frequently.C．Learn how to open a bank account.D．Seek out people from their home country.BAustralia loves interesting money. In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a n ew five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink color and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spine bill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5”changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated 20, 50, and 100bills that are still being designed.24．Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted? ________A．The bird. B．The number. C．The plants. D．The building. 25．What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote? ________A．To make the note more difficult to copy.B．To show the country’s advanced technology.C．To help blind people more easily use money.D．To make the not’s appearance more attractive.26．What can we guess about Australian coins? ________A．They are different in size or shape.B．They are required in school cafeterias.C．They are more frequently used than notes.D．They are more convenient for young people.27．What did Connor do to persuade the government? ________A．He wrote a letter to the leaders.B．He organized an online meeting.C．He sought support on the Internet.D．He requested a special Christmas gift.CAt this year’s Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of Green Shields.Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents’ garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his Green Shields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohen’s experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. Green Shields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%,saving about 600 per bus per year, and costs only 30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put Green Shields on all school buses.With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly 2.5 billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly 285 million in annual savings on fuel.28．What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text? ________A．He has produced Green Shields independently.B．He has been employed to improve school buses.C．He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.D．He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29．How does Green Shields make a bus more fuel efficient? ________A．By reducing the amount of wind drag.B．By improving the quality of fuel used.C．By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D．By changing the shape of the bus engine.30．Where did Cohen begin testing his shields? ________A．At Northwestern University.B．In his parents’ garage.C．At a local bus company.D．In an MIT lab.31．What’s the intended benefit of Cohen’s invention? ________A．To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B．To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C．To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D．To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.DWe all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine—like moving a mouse or touching a screen-but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes, moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements” and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games （an interesting task）to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements” greatly decreased, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, Dr. Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. I nstead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students’ computer-based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students’ interest level as they work, educators will be able to adj ust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.32．What does the underlined word “it” in P aragraph 1 refer to? ________A．Homework. B．A computer. C．Boredom. D．The future.33．Why did Dr. Witchel carry out his research? ________A．To discover how bored people move.B．To find out what makes people bored.C．To see if interested people are more active.D．To test the link between boredom and movement.34．Which movement would Witchel’s technology most likely pay attention to? ________A．Turning off the machine.B．Typing words on a keyboard.C．Surfing quickly between webpages.D．Moving one’s head fr om side to side.35．How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel? ________A．By reducing teachers’ workload.B．By maintaining students’ learning interest.C．By reporting students’ misbehavior in class.D．By making learning more like a computer game.第二节（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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Philadelphia is a city known for many things.

That’s more murals than any other city on Earth.（37）More than 20years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. （38）The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important, benefits. The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting.

Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.（40）It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.A．How did this come to be?B．What happened to the murals on Earth?C．They also learned to take pride in their community.D．But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.E．From this some project, something magical happened.F．The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.G．As a result of its success, the murals program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空When you give thanks for help, everyone benefits.

But there’s another classical dance form with a long history （61）has only recently burst onto the world scene. It is called classical Chinese dance.Classical Chinese dance is （62）incredibly demanding, refined, and expressive dance form. Alongside ballet, it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems （63）（know）to humankind.（64）recently, few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance. One major reason was that when Chinese companies performed abroad, they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance style. And so the audience left the theater not sure exactly （65）they had just seen.In 2006,however,the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company（66）（establish）in New York. Its mission was to promote （67）（tradition）culture, and this included （68）（present）classical Chinese dance in its pure form. Not quite a decade later, classical Chinese dance has become much （69）（well）recognized and is starting to influence western ballet.Although they have significant differences, both ballet and classical Chinese dance have the ability to vividly tell （70）（story）and move us through beautiful art.第四部分写作第一节短文改错（满分10分）71．（10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Dear Chris, Are you interested in coming with me to see a famous opera?

考查连词.根据句意:直到最近.用连词until.65．what 考查连词.see是及物动词,后缺少宾语,用what作其宾语.66．was established 考查动词时态和语态.根据时间状语In 2006,用一般过去时态,且主语the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company与establish之间是动宾关系,用一般过去时的被动语态.67．traditional 考查形容词. culture是名词,其前用形容词作定语.68．presenting 考查动名词.include是动词,用动名词短语作宾语.69．better 考查副词比较.much修饰比较级,well的比较级是不规则变化better.70．stories 考查名词复数.tell a story或tell stories意为"讲故事",是固定搭配71．Dear Chris, Are you interested in coming with me to see a famous opera? It will∧performed at the Guangzhou Opera House at 2pm in May Day. I know you took great interest in Chinese culture, especially local opera. I think the perform will not only leave you with an unforgettably impression, but satisfy your interest in Chinese opera as well. If you can come, I suggest us should visit the Guangzhou Museum near the Opera Housebefore and after the opera. You decide. The museum is hosting a exhibition on Cantonese opera. If we go, I believe you can learn many about Chinese opera in there.详解:1．performed前面加be;考查动词的语态,主语it指代前一句中的a famous opera,与动词perform是动宾关系,故在情态动词will后面加be构成被动语态.2．in改为on;考查介词,表示时间时当具体到"在某一天"时要用介词on.3．took改为take;考查动词的时态,本句陈述一个事实,要用一般现在时.4．perform改为performance;考查名词,此处用名词形式作宾语从句的主语.5．unforgettably改为unforgettable;考查形容词,此处用形容词作定语修饰名词impression.6．us改为we;考查人称代词,这里I suggest后面跟一个从句做suggest的宾语,人称代词在从句中做主语,故用主格形式we.7．and改为or;考查连词,分析句意可知此处要用or表示选择关系,意为"在看戏剧之前或者之后".8．a改为an;考查不定冠词,此处用不定冠词泛指"一个",exhibition 以原因因素开头,故用an.9．many改为much;考查近义词辨析,用作代词时many指可数名词复数形式,much指不可数名词,此处指"学到很多",应该用much.10．去掉in;考查介词,there是副词,前面不能用介词.81．There are many options available getting around Guangzhou. When you just want to travel around the downtown area, I suggest that you hire a street bike. They are everywhere and best of all when you finish you can leave the bike where you like. We also have an excellent metro system and bus service. I recommend that you avoid using the buses as much as possible, as traffic jams are pretty common, especially during rush hour. The metro should be perfect for most places. If you want to go to the suburbs or countryside my father can drive us or you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available. Looking forward to seeing you in Guangzhou.Yours, Li Hua. 亮点句型一:I recommend that you avoid using the buses as much as possible, as traffic jams are pretty common, especially during rush hour.我建议你尽量避免使用公共汽车,因为交通堵塞很常见,尤其是在交通高峰期.本句是一个虚拟语气的句子,recommend that sb should do 其中should 可以省略.亮点句型二:If you want to go to the suburbs or countryside my father can drive us or you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available.如果你想去郊区或乡下,我的父亲可以开车送我们,或者你甚至可以使用许多租车服务之一、if引导的是条件状语从句,主句是一个并列句由my father can drive us 和you can even use one of the many car﹣hire services available构成.。
