第三部分 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。

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

C. Father and daughter

D. Love in a paper bag

57. Why did Molly give her father a second bag？

A. She didnt want to keep the things in one bag.

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？

A. Regretful. B. Surprised.

C. Sad. D. Satisfied.

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[试演] 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[荷尔蒙] 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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.

高三模拟试题答案

第二部分 英语知识运用

第一节 单项填空

21.B 考查冠词。第一空，“神舟八号”属于特指的飞船系列名称，其前应用定冠词the； 第二空，Northwest China为专有名词，其前不用冠词。因此，该题选B。

22.C 考查不定代词。it指代上文提到的同一个东西或一件事情，one泛指上文提到的同类东西中的一个。

23.D 考查名词词义辨析。power意为“权力，实力，力量”；strength意为“体力，力气，优势”；force意为“武力，暴力，权力”；energy意为“精力，活力，干劲，力量，能量”。根据句意可知，people full of energy指“精力充沛的人”，与Im always tired.形成对比。因此，该题选D。

24.A 考查情景交际用语。not exactly意为“根本不，决不，一点儿也不”；dont say so意为“别这样说”；who knows意为“谁知道呢”；you bet意为“的确，当然，这还用说”。根据答语I just like his soft voice.可知，对方不喜欢托尼的表演。因此，该题选A。

25.B 考查情态动词。

26.A 考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词的逻辑主语she与其之间是被动关系，由此排除B项。状语从句通常可以转化为“连词 + 非谓语动词”。该题中，When __________ about…是时间状语从句When she was asked about…的紧缩现象。从句的主语she与主句的主语she相同，可以省略从句的主语she及was，该从句就变成了When asked ?about…? 因此，该题选A。

27.C 考查情景交际用语。come on表示知道某人所说的话不正确时意为“得了吧”，用于命令时意为“快，加油，加把劲儿”；dont mention it是应对别人道谢的答语，意为“不客气”；it doesnt matter表示认为某事无关紧要或无所谓，也是应对别人道歉的答语，意为“没什么，没事儿”；my pleasure是应对别人道谢的答语，意为“不客气，愿为效劳”。根据语境You can use mine.可知，答话者认为对方没有带手机“没什么”。因此，该题选C。

28.C 考查动词时态。根据宾语从句的时态got fined可知，“被罚款”这一动作发生在过去，因此用I thought（我原以为）表示原来的看法，即“我原以为你是个谨慎的司机”，可事实上不是。因此，该题选C。

29.D 考查介词短语的词义辨析。no more than意为“仅仅，只有”（相当于only）；rather than意为“而不是”（相当于instead of），less than意为“不足，少于”；other than意为“除……以外（还……）”（相当于except for或in addition to）。根据句意“帮助失去父母的孩子需要的不仅仅是钱，还有关爱。”可知该题选D。

30.A 考查状语从句的引导词。unless意为“除非，如果不”；since意为“由于，因为，既然，自从”；if意为“如果，假如，倘若”；though意为“尽管，虽然，即使”。根据句意“除非坏天气阻止我，否则，我每天早上都到户外锻炼。”可知该题选A。

31.B 考查动词时态。根据答语中的时间状语then（等于at 10：00 tomorrow morning）可知，这是表示将来某时正在进行的动作，应该用将来进行时。因此，该题选B。

32.C 考查句子结构——祈使句。分析句子结构可知，该句为并列句，破折号后面的句子陈述前面一个祈使句的具体内容。do sb. a favor意为“帮某人一个忙，给某人以恩惠”。表达“帮某人做某事”时，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。理解题中破折号的意思是分清句子结构的关键。因此，该题选C。

33.B 考查宾语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，they thought为插入语，将此去掉后句子变得比较简单，即they reached __________ was the place they had been dreaming of，其中的宾语从句表示地点。该宾语从句中所缺的主语没有任何实在意思，只作句子成分，应该用what引导该从句，因此该题选B。

34.D 考查全部倒装。地点状语置于句首时，句子往往采用全部倒装语序，以示强调。此时，需将谓语动词提至主语之前。用全部倒装时，谓语动词一般是单个的动词，多用于一般现在时或一般过去时。因此，该题选D。lie（位于）在此为静态动词。

35.A 考查短语动词的词义辨析。put up with意为“容忍，忍受”；get away with意为“做（坏事）而未受惩罚，偷携……潜逃”；come up with意为“找到（答案等），拿出（一笔钱等）”；get on with意为“进展，进步，（中断后）继续做某事，与某人相处”。根据句意“我们为什么必须容忍苏珊的自私行为？我们必须教她去关心别人。”可知该题选A。

第二节 完形填空

45.D 结合上文可知，那时我的“信心”（confidence）一落千丈，真的想放弃。再者，根据下文中的That was what made me feel good about myself and gave me confidence.也可知道该题选D。

46.C “然而”（though），我没有放弃。

47.A 尽管我感到紧张，想放弃，但是我仍然“拒绝”（refused）放弃。

48.D 那些大孩子们获奖时的荣耀“画面”（picture）出现在我脑海中，激励着我，使我坚持参加比赛。此处用picture一词生动、形象，与文章开始的获奖画面对应。

49.C 最后，我意识到大型比赛使我感到紧张的原因是我总是担心我没有为比赛“做好准备”（ready）。

50.B 我“精心规划”（mapped out）训练计划，每天练习跑三公里。map out意为“（精心细致地）规划，安排”。

51.A 每天坚持训练使我提高了“步速”（pace）。

52.B 当大型比赛到来时，所有这一切训练都“得以报偿”（paid off），我终于成功了。pay off在此意为“取得成功，得到好结果”。

53.C 我为自己能够坚持而感到“自豪”（proud）。

54.A 我证实了自己足以“强壮”（strong），能够坚持跑下去，并且最后成功了。

55.D 有了这次经历，我有了信心。下次我面对艰难的“挑战”（challenge）时，我就会知道我能坚持下去，直至成功。

【主旨大意】本文讲述德国人Lippl和他的同事所做的一项减肥实验，结果表明在高纬度受试者的食欲大减，导致体重下降。

67.C 考查猜测词义的能力。根据上文中的“a new weight loss plan”“tend to lose weight”及下文中的“had lost about 1.5 kg”“the weight loss”等可以猜测出obese的意思与“减肥”有关。分析选项意思可知该题选C，obese的意思是“肥胖的”。

70.D 考查推理判断的能力。根据最后三段可知，Damian Bailey之所以相信“高纬度会引起食欲减弱”是因为他本人在一次为期3个月的安第斯山探险中减肥11公斤。因此，该题选D。

第二节

【主旨大意】本文讲述在当今社会里，一切都变得更快了，我们的工作和生活节奏加快了，压力变得更大了。

71.B 考查关键信息句。根据上文可知，人们很早以前就认为将来我们会少工作、有更多的自由时间、会更放松。再联系下文可知，我们反而比以前更加忙碌了。因此，该题选B。句意：“但不幸的是，我们的愿望尚未实现。”

72.D 考查关键信息句。根据上下文可知，与10年前相比，我们工作更加努力、压力更大，生活节奏更快、休息时间更少。按照一位美国记者所言，人们现在患了“匆忙症”即“我们试图在较短的时间内做更多的事情”。因此，该题选D，用“但这对我们的健康有什么影响呢？”一句起承上启下的作用。

73.E 考查关键信息句。根据上文可知，现在我们做事更快了，生活压力更大了。如果我们不慢下来，我们将不会像我们的父母一样长寿。该题选E，用“对于多数人来说，更快并不意味着更好。”一句作本段的结论句。

74.C 考查关键信息句。根据上文可知，一切都变得更快了，用的时间更少了。作者列举了数例说明这一现象，接着用“甚至放松时，我们做一切（放松的）事情也更快了。”一句与上文例子并列，并含有递进的意味，因此该题选C。

75.F 考查关键信息句。根据下文可知，“比以前减慢的唯一的事情是我们开车更慢了。”接着作者陈述了交通拥堵的状况。因此，该题选F，该句起引领本段的作用。
