Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2015·山东青岛市高三联合考试)A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books.A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary school children，showed that even sevenyearold boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories.Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular.You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines.Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and so on.
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research.Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men.It seems that the majority of women still want love stories.There has also been some analysis of what men actually read.Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of actionpacked(情节跌宕起伏的)stories of space or gunmen.
1．What has the recent research into children's reading show?
A．Children begin to read very fast at an early age.
B．Children examine in detail what they read at school.
C．Children can read clearly in primary school.
D．Children form their reading tastes at an early age.
2．If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we'll find that ________.
A．girls are more interested in fiction than boys
B．girls are more interested in actionpacked stories than boys
C．boys read more books than girls
D．boys have no interest in fiction
3．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．boys change their reading tastes more often than girls
B．children usually do not change their reading tastes until they grow up
C．boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines
D．people have no definite reading tastes
答案：
解题导语：研究表明，孩子的阅读习惯在很早就已形成且保持不变，直到他们长大成为青少年。
1．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句“A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary school children，showed that even seven－year－old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.”可知，最近的报道表明，孩子们甚至在七岁的时候就对于他们想要读的书有明确的观点，即在早期，孩子们就养成了他们的阅读喜好，D项正确。
2．A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction”可知，女孩儿更喜欢读小说，即A项正确。
3．B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句“These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.”可推知，孩子们的这些读书喜好会保持不变，直到他们长大成为青少年，即B项正确。

(2015·河南豫南九校联考)
Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen，you're going through big changes physically and mentally.Your interests are expanding.__1__
Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways，and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses.Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided.But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships，you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance，try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry，tired，distracted or hungry.A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed.Timing is everything.If the conversation begins to turn into an argument，you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.__2__ Listen to what your parents are saying，and repeat it back to them.This shows them that you're listening.__3__ Respect is the building block of good communication.People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can control their temper before things get worse.
__4__ How do you build trust？Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do.Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rulemakers—they're people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best，but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky？__5__ You can find supportive adults，such as a teacher or a coach，who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior.Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.
B．You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.
C．And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.
D．Faced with the challenge，children don't know what to do.
E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G．You may consider seeking outside help.

One year ago，I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station.It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to，for we had no textbooks，no blackboard or no fixed seats.
Gathering at the entrance of the station，we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here.Curious and excited，we walked around the station and looked everywhere，search for any information in English.Whenever an English word comes into sight，the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world.With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures，we could figure out its meaning with ease.
Now，this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2016·贵州省七校高三联考)Lily，a student of Cambridge University，has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety.Her friend，Cathryn，found this article and sent it to her.
How to make your bicycle safe?
A number of crimes are against bicycles.About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most of them are never found.You can prevent this from happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Never leave your bicycle in outoftheway places.Always lock your bicycle when you leave.Secure it to lamp posts or trees.Take off smaller parts and carry them with you，for example lights and saddles(车座)．
Locks
There are various types of locks.Buy one that has been tested against attack.Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.
Marking
The security marking of your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves，which can also help the police find your bicycle.Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded.This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle.They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database.If your bicycle is found，it will be easy to contact you.
Attention
Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production place，model and registration number.You can even take a photograph of it.This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

A．Basic Security.
B．Locks.
C．Marking.
D．Registration.
2．Which one is wrong about the security marking of a bicycle?

B．Some companies can assist you in doing this.
C．It can help the police to find and identify the lost bike.

答案：
解题导语：本文是一篇应用文，Lily的朋友Cathryn为她找了一篇文章，文章提供了一些保护自行车安全的建议。
1．A 解析：细节理解题。文章在Basic Security中提到“Always lock your bicycle when you leave.Secure it to lamp posts or trees.”，即当你离开时如何锁自行车，故A项正确。
2．A 解析：判断正误题。Marking部分提到“The security marking of your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves，which can also help the police find your bicycle.”，security marking能帮助警察找到你被偷的自行车，但不是能保证贼不偷你的车子，故A项表述错误。
3．C 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后两段提到的“There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle...computer database.”和“ Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production place，model and registration number.”可知，文章建议你可以自己记录自行车的产地、型号和注册号，还可以让一个提供security marking的公司做记录，即C项正确。
4．D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后三段中的“Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded...They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database.”和“its production place，model and registration number.You can even take a photograph of it.”可知，A、B、C项的信息都需要记录，D项在文中未提及，故选D项。

Research has shown that music has a great effect on your body and mind.In fact，there's a growing field of health care known as music therapy(音乐疗法)．Hospitals are beginning to use music therapy to help with pain management，to help get rid of depression，to promote movement，to calm patients，to ease muscle tension，and for many other benefits that music therapy can bring.
The following are some of effects of music，which help to explain the effectiveness of music therapy：
Brainwaves：Research has shown that music with a strong beat can stimulate(刺激)brainwaves to resonate(共振)along with the beat.Research has also found that the change in brainwave activity levels that music can bring can also enable the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed，which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind，even after you've stopped listening.
Breathing and heart rates：Other bodily functions will change with changes in brainwaves.This can mean slower breathing，slower heart rates，and an activation(激活)of the relaxation response.This is why music and music therapy can help prevent the damaging effects of stress，greatly promoting not only relaxation，but health.
The state of mind：Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind.This can help prevent the stress response from hurting the body，and can help keep creativity and optimism levels higher.
Other Benefits：Music has also been found to bring many other benefits，such as lowering blood pressure，boosting immunity(免疫力)and more.With so many benefits and such great physical effects，it's no surprise that so many are seeing music as an important tool to help the body stay healthy.

Ⅱ.语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
My husband，Mike is American，and I'm Spanish.Whenever my mother and I speak Spanish，he is 1.________(curiosity)and tries to pick up words.One day，he heard us say that a woman we noticed was chula.He asked what it meant，and he was 2.________(tell)that it meant“pretty”．

答案：
1．curious 解析：考查词性转换。is为系动词，后面须用curiosity的形容词形式作表语。
2．told 解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。主语为he，是单数第三人称，再结合语境可知，他是被告知这个词的意思是“美人；漂亮的”。因此要用一般过去时的被动语态。
3．for 解析：考查介词。for表示目的，“为了……”。
4．calling 解析： 考查伴随状语。calling my mother his chuleta是现在分词短语作状语，故动词call须用其ing形式。
5．but 解析：考查并列连词。Not...but...为固定结构，表示“不是……而是……”。
6．places 解析：考查名词复数。可数名词place前有some修饰，用名词的复数形式。
7．were 解析：考查动词时态。事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时。名词为复数形式，故谓语动词用were。
8．continued 解析：考查动词时态。空格单词的时态应该与gathered一致，故用过去时形式。
9．embarrassed 解析：考查词性转换。him后面缺少宾语补足语，须用动词embarrass的形容词形式。
10．that 解析：考查固定句型。so...that...表示“如此……以至于……”。

Dear editor，
I am writing to tell you about what I saw while traveling during this winter vacation.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
答案：
Dear_editor，
___I_am_writing_to_tell_you_about_what_I_saw_while_traveling_during_this_winter_vacation.
I was surprised to see so many immoral behaviors in public places.Some people spit at will wherever they went；some scratched their names on the street walls or other scenic spots，which did great damage to them.
In my opinion，it's high time we should take action to help improve the situation.First，certain laws should be passed to ensure people won't damage the environment.Second，our media should also take responsibility to guide people to protect the environment.Last but not least，we travelers should learn to be more responsible for what we did.
Only by working together can we make our country become more and more beautiful!
Best_wishes!
Yours，
Li_Hua
