第三部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

A

Every morning Molly gave her father the lunch bag before he set off for work.

One morning，besides his usual lunch bag， Molly handed him a second paper bag.

“Why two bags？” her father asked.

“The other is something else，” Molly answered.

“Whats in it？”asked her father.

“Just some stuff. Take it with you，” Molly replied.

Not wanting to discuss the matter， he put both bags into his briefcase， kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Mollys bag and took out the contents： three small stones， a plastic dinosaur， a tiny seashell， a small doll， and 13 pennies… The busy father smiled， finished eating， and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket， Mollys stuff included.

That evening， Molly ran up behind him as he was reading a newspaper.

“Wheres my bag， Daddy？” asked Molly.

“What bag？”her father responded.

“The one I gave you this morning，” said Molly.

“I left it at the office. Why？”said her father.

“I forgot to put this note in it，”Molly said， “and besides， Daddy， the things in the sack are those I really like—I thought you might like to play with them. You didnt lose the bag， did you， Daddy？”

“Oh， no，” he said， lying. “I just forgot to bring it home. Ill bring it back tomorrow.”

While Molly hugged her fathers neck， he unfolded the note that read， “I love you， Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures—all that a 7 year old girl held.

Love in a paper bag， but he missed it—not only missed it， but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he went to the office. Just ahead of the night guard， he picked up the paper bag. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didnt look so good， but the stuff was all there and that was of great importance.

After dinner， he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory.

“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life，” he thought.

We should all cherish the moment with the people we love. Thats what really matters. Its so simple and so easily forgotten.

56. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage？

A. Stories behind treasures

B. A special present

B. She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.

C. She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.

D. She enjoyed playing with her father.

58.How did her father deal with the bag after he opened it？

A. He kept it in the drawer.

B. He took it back home.

C. He threw it into the wastebasket.

D. He put it on his table.

59. How did her father feel when he heard what his daughter said？

Have you heard of the term “teenager”？ Its a new word being used in the UK to describe children at about 10～12 years old. Why are the media suddenly referring to kids in this way？

Well， more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for teenagers. The Disney company sells the Hannah Montana television show， music， films and products to teenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and cellphones， to fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a teenage audience. So， its all about sales， which tells us teenagers must have more money， freedom and influence upon their parents than they have ever had before.

Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. In spite of the credit trouble， parents have more money to give than previously， since parents are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition， the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to. So， many parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketers and the requests of their children.

You may wonder how teenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well， UK children today are very good at using media and computers. A lot of them have a television， if not a computer， in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well， since 25% of UK children live in single parent families. People now say that “kids are getting older younger”. With such sophistication[世故] at such a young age， its no wonder that teenagers are able to influence their parents.

UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on fashionable clothes.Thats changed. Now， they are concerned about the fashions and their images. In a world of television programs that promise overnight success and fame at a young age， some people think its very important to look fashionable. Such ideas are also promoted by both Hannah Montana story， in which a teenage girl suddenly becomes a world famous pop star， and the High School Musical story， in which teenagers go through various auditions[試演] for musicals and talent shows.

63. The underlined word“they” in the second paragraph most probably refers to “__________”.

A. companies B. sales C. teenagers D. their parents

64. Why are UK children given more pocket money than before？

A. Their parents earn more money.

B. There are fewer children in a British family.

C. They spend more money on books.

D. Most of them live in single parent families.

65. Compared with previous generations， UK teenagers today __________.

A. have less effect on their parents

B. are more worried about their careers

C. have fewer life experiences

D. know more about the world

66. We can make a conclusion that __________.

A. the television programs have a great influence on UK teenagers

B. UK teenagers benefit a lot from the television programs

C. the Hannah Montana television show appeals to a lot of old viewers

D. it is wise to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age

D

Looking for a new weight loss plan？ Try living on the top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes， so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. Studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl in Germany wondered how the mountain air would affect obese individuals if they werent doing any more physical activity than usual.

Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 obese men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze， a mountain around 2，970 meters near the Austrian border. This was no hiking expedition. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones[荷爾蒙] linked to appetite and obesity. At the end of the week， the men， whose weight starting out was 105 kilograms， had lost about 1.5 kg on average. The mens blood pressure also dropped， which the researchers owed to weight lost.

Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes， and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual—about 700 calories[千卡] fewer per day.

Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key， notes Damian Bailey， a physiologist， who himself recently lost 11 kg during a 3 month expedition to the Andes in Chile.

Unfortunately， for the average person theres no treatment that can resemble living at high altitudes， says Lippl. He says， half jokingly， “If obese people plan their holidays， they might not go to the sea， but maybe to the mountains.”

67. The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph probably means “__________”.

A. unhealthy B. swollen

C. very fat D. weighty

68. Hormones were tested in the research because they could affect __________.

A. ones body weight

B. ones blood pressure

C. ones way of living

D. ones heart beating rate

69. What was found about the 20 obese men in the process of the research？

A.They controlled what to eat.

B.They took in fewer calories than usual.

C.They lost appetite because of lack of physical activities.

D.They were provided with a healthier diet than before.

70. Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes？

A. He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the Andes.

B. He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes.

C. He researched the related subject in the Andes.

D. He lost much weight in the high altitude Andes.

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Long ago， people believed that in the future we would work less， have more free time and get more relaxed. ___71___

Today we work harder， work longer hours and have more stresses than ten years ago. We walk faster， talk faster and sleep less than previous generations. And although we use machines that save us time， we have less free time than our parents and grandparents. ___72___ An American journalist James Gleick in a new book， says that people are suffering from “hurry sickness”—were trying to do more things in less time. As a result， our lives are stressful. He says that if we dont slow down， we wont live as long as our parents.___73___

Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger. Most people dont have enough time to read the articles， so they only read the headlines. On TV and the radio， newsreaders speak more quickly than ten years ago. In the USA， there is a book called One Minute Bedtime Stories for children. These are shorter versions[版本] of traditional stories， specially written for “busy parents” who want to save time！ Some answer phones now have “quick playback” buttons so that we can replay peoples messages faster—we cant waste time listening to people speaking at the normal speed！ ___72___ Ten years ago when people went to art galleries they spent seconds looking at each picture. Today they spend just three seconds！Nowadays， many people prefer faster and dynamic sports like basketball.

___75___ Our cars are faster but the traffic is worse， so we drive more slowly. We spend more time sitting in our cars， feeling stressed. Experts predict that in ten years the average speed on the road in cities will be only 17 km/h.

A. People didnt feel stressed ten years ago.

B. But unluckily， this has not happened yet.

C. Even when we relax we do everything more quickly.

D. But what is this doing to our health？

E. For most people， faster doesnt mean better.

F. The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive.

G. Now everything is faster than before， which brings us more convenience.

高三模擬試題答案

第二部分 英語知識運用

第一節(jié) 單項填空

21.B 考查冠詞。第一空，“神舟八號”屬于特指的飛船系列名稱，其前應用定冠詞the； 第二空，Northwest China為專有名詞，其前不用冠詞。因此，該題選B。

22.C 考查不定代詞。it指代上文提到的同一個東西或一件事情，one泛指上文提到的同類東西中的一個。

23.D 考查名詞詞義辨析。power意為“權(quán)力，實力，力量”；strength意為“體力，力氣，優(yōu)勢”；force意為“武力，暴力，權(quán)力”；energy意為“精力，活力，干勁，力量，能量”。根據(jù)句意可知，people full of energy指“精力充沛的人”，與Im always tired.形成對比。因此，該題選D。

24.A 考查情景交際用語。not exactly意為“根本不，決不，一點兒也不”；dont say so意為“別這樣說”；who knows意為“誰知道呢”；you bet意為“的確，當然，這還用說”。根據(jù)答語I just like his soft voice.可知，對方不喜歡托尼的表演。因此，該題選A。

25.B 考查情態(tài)動詞。

26.A 考查非謂語動詞。非謂語動詞的邏輯主語she與其之間是被動關(guān)系，由此排除B項。狀語從句通?？梢赞D(zhuǎn)化為“連詞 + 非謂語動詞”。該題中，When __________ about…是時間狀語從句When she was asked about…的緊縮現(xiàn)象。從句的主語she與主句的主語she相同，可以省略從句的主語she及was，該從句就變成了When asked ?about…? 因此，該題選A。

27.C 考查情景交際用語。come on表示知道某人所說的話不正確時意為“得了吧”，用于命令時意為“快，加油，加把勁兒”；dont mention it是應對別人道謝的答語，意為“不客氣”；it doesnt matter表示認為某事無關(guān)緊要或無所謂，也是應對別人道歉的答語，意為“沒什么，沒事兒”；my pleasure是應對別人道謝的答語，意為“不客氣，愿為效勞”。根據(jù)語境You can use mine.可知，答話者認為對方?jīng)]有帶手機“沒什么”。因此，該題選C。

28.C 考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)賓語從句的時態(tài)got fined可知，“被罰款”這一動作發(fā)生在過去，因此用I thought（我原以為）表示原來的看法，即“我原以為你是個謹慎的司機”，可事實上不是。因此，該題選C。

29.D 考查介詞短語的詞義辨析。no more than意為“僅僅，只有”（相當于only）；rather than意為“而不是”（相當于instead of），less than意為“不足，少于”；other than意為“除……以外（還……）”（相當于except for或in addition to）。根據(jù)句意“幫助失去父母的孩子需要的不僅僅是錢，還有關(guān)愛。”可知該題選D。

30.A 考查狀語從句的引導詞。unless意為“除非，如果不”；since意為“由于，因為，既然，自從”；if意為“如果，假如，倘若”；though意為“盡管，雖然，即使”。根據(jù)句意“除非壞天氣阻止我，否則，我每天早上都到戶外鍛煉。”可知該題選A。

31.B 考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)答語中的時間狀語then（等于at 10：00 tomorrow morning）可知，這是表示將來某時正在進行的動作，應該用將來進行時。因此，該題選B。

32.C 考查句子結(jié)構(gòu)——祈使句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該句為并列句，破折號后面的句子陳述前面一個祈使句的具體內(nèi)容。do sb. a favor意為“幫某人一個忙，給某人以恩惠”。表達“幫某人做某事”時，可以用do sb. a favor to do、do sb. a favor and do、do sb. a favor by doing、do sb. the favor of doing等。理解題中破折號的意思是分清句子結(jié)構(gòu)的關(guān)鍵。因此，該題選C。

33.B 考查賓語從句的引導詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，they thought為插入語，將此去掉后句子變得比較簡單，即they reached __________ was the place they had been dreaming of，其中的賓語從句表示地點。該賓語從句中所缺的主語沒有任何實在意思，只作句子成分，應該用what引導該從句，因此該題選B。

34.D 考查全部倒裝。地點狀語置于句首時，句子往往采用全部倒裝語序，以示強調(diào)。此時，需將謂語動詞提至主語之前。用全部倒裝時，謂語動詞一般是單個的動詞，多用于一般現(xiàn)在時或一般過去時。因此，該題選D。lie（位于）在此為靜態(tài)動詞。

35.A 考查短語動詞的詞義辨析。put up with意為“容忍，忍受”；get away with意為“做（壞事）而未受懲罰，偷攜……潛逃”；come up with意為“找到（答案等），拿出（一筆錢等）”；get on with意為“進展，進步，（中斷后）繼續(xù)做某事，與某人相處”。根據(jù)句意“我們?yōu)槭裁幢仨毴萑烫K珊的自私行為？我們必須教她去關(guān)心別人?！笨芍擃}選A。

42.B 即使我“厭惡”（hated）看到他們從我身邊跑過，我也不能推著自己繼續(xù)跑下去。

44.B 根據(jù)上下文可知，她剛加入越野長跑隊，沒有我練得時間長，卻從未感到勞累，腿也不抽筋，跑得很“輕松”（easily），居然在一次大型比賽中還得了第八名。我感到不可思議。

45.D 結(jié)合上文可知，那時我的“信心”（confidence）一落千丈，真的想放棄。再者，根據(jù)下文中的That was what made me feel good about myself and gave me confidence.也可知道該題選D。

50.B 我“精心規(guī)劃”（mapped out）訓練計劃，每天練習跑三公里。map out意為“（精心細致地）規(guī)劃，安排”。

51.A 每天堅持訓練使我提高了“步速”（pace）。
