(2016·辽宁五校联考)
Washington
D．C.is No.1
It is best known as a city of monument.In the middle of traffic circles or on street corners，you'll find statues，plaques(匾牌)，and simple blocks of marble there.They honor the people who helped shape the US.
And on Oct.20，Lonely Planet，one of the world's largest travel guides，named Washington
D．C.the No.1 city in its list of “Best in Travel 2015”．
“The year 2015 is a fantastic year to visit Washington D．C.，” Tom Hall，editorial director of Lonely Planet, told The Guardian.“The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination(暗杀) makes this year big for Washington
D．C.The famous top hat of American's 16th president and the gun that fired the deadly shot will be on display.Add that to its incredible eats，performing arts and museums.The nation's capital is looking better than ever.”
There are a lot of free museums in the city.When British scientist James Smithson died in 1829，he left a will giving his money to the United States to open a museum at Washington，under the name of the Smithsonian Institution.It has turned out to be a wonderful gift，and the institution now covers 19 museums.And of course，no Washington tour is complete without seeing the White House，the Capitol，and the Supreme Court，which are home to the three pillars (核心) of the US government.But there is more to explore in the center of US power.It is a city you can walk across，with wideopen avenues，old neighborhoods，and river views.
And as USA_Today notes，diversity is another reason to“fall in love with the city”．“There is a lot of diversity in Washington D．C.，seen in its people，its neighborhoods and its landmarks.From Chinatown to Little Ethiopia，visiting the nation's capital is like seeing the world in one trip，”said the newspaper.
1．One of the reasons why Washington
D．C.is worth a visit in 2015 is that ________.
A．food and performing arts there are much better than anywhere else in the world
B．the top hat of 15th president of America will be on show in the year 2015
C．seeing the museums will make your tour in Washington D．C.complete
D．the diversity of the city offers you an opportunity to see more in one trip
2.Which of the following details is right according to the article?
A．The 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination makes the tour more worthwhile.
B．The first reason why Washington D．C.is worth a visit is that it is the capital of the country.
C．Lonely Planet decides to make Washington
D．C.a most visited place in 2015.
D．All the museums in Washington
D．C.were named after the Smithsonian Institution.
3．What is USA Today，according to the last paragraph?
A．A wellknown company.
B．A newspaper.
C．An advanced institution.
D．A website.
答案：
解题导语：本文列举种种理由力证华盛顿是2015年最值得旅游的地方。
1．D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“diversity is another reason to ‘fall in love with the city'”和“From Chinatown to...in one trip”可知，多元化的华盛顿可以让你在一次旅行中看到更多，故选D项。
2．A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination(暗杀) makes this year big for Washington D. C．”可知，林肯被刺杀150周年纪念将成为华盛顿旅游的一大亮点，A项正确；B项文章中并未提到华盛顿值得一游的第一个原因是它是美国的首都；C项歪曲原文，《孤独星球》的编辑主任介绍了2015年华盛顿的情况，但并不是他们决定让华盛顿成为2015年最值得旅游的城市；D项说所有的博物馆太过绝对。
3．B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“and as USA Today notes...said the newspaper”可知， USA Today是一份报纸。
B
(2015·长春高三模拟)I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines.I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better.He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again.I was getting frustrated (挫败的), but then it hit me.I started noticing his answers were much quicker and more accurate when he stood up.Could he be more absorbed while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe.I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to lead to success.This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them.As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their ways.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate.Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine.We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things.Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations.There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的)．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
4．Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ________.
A．work fast B．go polite
C．stay relaxed
D．keep attentive
5．The underlined word “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to________.
A．his son's doing better while standing up
B．his failure in keeping his son under control
C．his own experience as a school boy
D．his disappointment with his active child
6．By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to________.
A．correct their kids' manners from the early ages
B．respect and trust their kids' ways of behaviors
C．develop a good relationship with their children
D．guarantee their children's freedom at home
7．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Parental help with teens'study
B．Adult influence on teens' growth
C．Kids' success in their own styles
D．Friendship between generations
答案：
解题导语：我们应该尊重孩子们不同的学习习惯，引导和帮助他们找到最适合自己的学习方法。
4．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better.”可知，作者这样做的目的是让儿子注意力更加集中，故D项正确。
5．A 解析：代词指代题。根据第一段的倒数第二句“I started noticing his answers were much quicker and more accurate when he stood up.”可知，此处的it指代下文内容，即当他站起来做题时会做得更快、更准确，故A项正确。
6．B 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“As parents ... find their ways.”和最后一段中的“We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things.”可知，作者号召父母们要正确地引导和帮助孩子找到属于他们自己的学习方法，并且尊重孩子的行为方式，故B项正确。
7．C 解析：标题判断题。本文先以作者对儿子的观察为例，说明每个孩子都有自己的学习方法，我们应该正确地帮助和引导他们，尊重他们的独特的行为习惯，让他们走向成功。故C项“Kids' success in their own styles”最适合做文章标题。
Ⅳ.书面表达
(2015·山西省沂州四校联考)假设你是新华中学高三学生李华，进入高三后你的朋友William感到压力很大，学习效果甚微，请你给他写一封电子邮件，帮助他放松身心，提高学习效率。

Dear William，

Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
答案：
Dear_William，
Recently,_I_have_heard_that_you_feel_stressed_as_a_student_of_Senior_Three. Here is some advice on how to study effectively.
First of all, learn in a relaxing way. This will remove our pressure, making study an easy job. Another way to keep up our spirits is to take part in sports. Not only does exercise build up the body, but also it provides us time to relax, making us memorize things faster and longer. Music, too, is another effective means of refreshing and helping us concentrate better.
Last but not least, we should exchange ideas with our classmates. Through the communication we can find support, which will encourage us to overcome difficulties in our study.
Hope these can benefit you.
Best_wishes!
Yours,_
Li_Hua

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2015·大庆高三教学质量检测)Steve and I pulled trash for four solid hours continuously，except for about five minutes when we stopped to talk.My shoulder hurt badly each time I put another full barrel on it, and my legs occasionally trembled as I was heading for the street.But the rest of me said, “Go, trashman, go.”
I could not have imagined there would be joy in this.Dump.Lift.Walk.Lift.Walk.The hours flew by.
Saturday meant many people were outdoors working in their gardens or greenhouses.Most of them looked approachable enough.There wasn't time for lengthy talks but enough to exchange greetings that go with civilized ways.But I was shocked to find that this wasn't the case.
When I said hello to them, most often the response was either nothing at all, or a surprising stare because I had spoken.
One woman in a housecoat was startled as I came around the corner of her house.At the sound of my greeting, she gathered her housecoat tightly about her and retreated quickly to the door.I heard the lock click.
Steve complained angrily on the long ride to the dump：“They don't realize we're humans.”
I had originally planned to stay at this employment for only two days but now I'm going to continue.I have decided, too, to keep saying hello in people's yards.It doesn't do any harm，and it still feels right.Frankly，I'm doing an essential task.I left this country a little cleaner than I found it this morning.Not many people can say that tonight.
John Gardner wrote that a society which praises its philosophers and looks down on its plumbers (管子工) is in trouble.“Neither_its_pipes_nor_its_theories_will_hold_water，”he warned.He might have gone a step further and called for respect for both our economists and our trashmen; otherwise，they'll both leave rubbish behind.
1．How did the woman feel when she heard the author's greeting?
A．Doubtful. B．Embarrassed.
C．Frightened.
D．Pitiful.
2．At the end of the passage，what's the author's attitude to his job?
A．He is ashamed of it.
B．He is boastful about it.
C．He is proud of it.
D．He isn't serious about it.
3．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．Both the facilities and the thoughts of society may go wrong.
B．Both the trashmen and the economists should not be respected.
C．Both practice and theories are important.
D．Both the pipes and the theories make sense.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

D．Misunderstanding
答案：
解题导语：这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一名垃圾清理工，他以前对自己的工作不认同，后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。
1．C 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“she gathered her housecoat...and retreated quickly to the door. I heard the lock click.”可知，那位女士感到害怕，故选C项。
2．C 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I'm doing an essential task. I left this country a little cleaner...morning”可推知，作者为自己的工作感到自豪，故选C项。
3．A 解析：推理判断题。根据画线句前的“a society which...is in trouble”可推知，画线句主要是说人们对社会价值观的判断会出错，故选A项。
4．B 解析：标题判断题。根据整篇文章内容可知，作者是一名垃圾清理工，以前他对自己的工作不认同，但后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。故选B项。A项突出的是一次经历，比较片面。

答案：
解题导语：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述作者在去工艺品店的路上搭载了一位陌生女子，这位陌生女子欣然接受作者的帮助使作者感到惊奇，然而接下来发生的事情使作者觉得这是美好的互动，这个故事旨在告诉人们：善有善报，恶有恶报。
1．B 解析：文章开头提到听见一位女士说自己的脚受伤了，并打算叫计程车可知，此处她应该是在等计程车。
2．D 解析：她要去的地方实际上就在作者要去的工艺品店的那条路上。on the way to表示“在……的路上”。第8空后的“on the way to”也是提示。
3．A 解析：根据下一句话可知，作者是开着车的。
4．C 解析：根据语境可知，作者想叫这位女士取消打车，作者会载她一程。cancel“取消”。
5．B 解析：这位女士毫不犹豫地答应乘坐作者的车，这使作者很吃惊(amazement)。
6．A 解析：参见上题解析。without hesitation“毫不犹豫”。
7．C 解析：作者不知道如果自己处于这种情况，是否也会这么容易相信陌生人。trusting“容易相信他人的，轻信的”。
8．D 解析：她要去的地方就在作者要去的地方的那条路上。right在此处为副词，表示“就在(某个位置或地方)”。
9．B 解析：根据上一句话可知，两人要去同一方向真是一个美好的巧合。此处可用排除法，结合选项可知，只有B项符合语境。
10．A 解析：当作者拿起要买的东西准备付账时，作者后面的女士说她有优惠券。pick up“拿起”。
11．D 解析：购买这家商店的任何商品都可以使用这张优惠券。item“一件商品或物品”。
12．C 解析：因为这位女士还有一张优惠券，所以她把这张优惠券给了作者。extra“额外的，另外的”。
13．B 解析：作者得到了这张优惠券，当然会很高兴，于是给了女士一张微笑卡。
14．D 解析：俗话说，一报还一报，但是有时很难明白是怎么回事，因为往往不是现世报。work意为“起作用”。
15．A 解析：我们的每个行为都会产生涟漪。create“产生”。
16．C 解析：我们的行为所产生的影响最终又会回到我们身上，即指一报还一报。come back“回来”。
17．C 解析：因为有时行为所产生的影响来得较迟，即不是现世报，因此我们会忘记它们之间的联系。
18．A 解析：在给予中，自己也得到了回馈。giving与receiving呼应。
19．B 解析：从他人那里作者学会了应接受别人的帮助。由前一句中的“I'm also opening myself”可知，应选B项。
20．D 解析：此处和文章第二段的最后一句话呼应，表示提供的帮助。
Ⅲ.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。

答案：
解题导语：本文主要讲述了作者第一次独自开车带家人去出行的经历。
1．that 解析：考查强调句。本句考查了强调句型：it was not until...that...。故填that。句意：但是，直到两天前我的父亲才允许我在高速公路上开车。
2．a 解析：考查冠词。本句考查了不定冠词的用法，此处代指上文出现的Orewa，是它的同位语，指一个海边小镇，故填a。
3．before 解析：考查连词。根据上文可知，这是作者第一次在高速上开车，再根据上文的“I had enough to drink”可知，作者有点紧张，故在离开前去了三次厕所。故填before。
4．for 解析：考查介词。本句考查固定短语：be prepared for，意为：准备好做……。故填for，句意：我想我已经完全准备好这次旅程。
5．tightly 解析：考查副词。空处考查修饰动词用副词，本句修饰动词hold，故需要副词，填tightly。句意：放松！不要这么紧紧地抓住方向盘。
6．mine/me 解析：考查代词。根据句意，这里的座位既可以指我旁边，也可以指我的座位旁边，故既可以填mine也可以填me。句意：从我旁边的座位传来另一个嗓音。
7．annoying 解析：考查形容词。本句考查annoy的形容词形式，它的形容词有两种形式，annoying和annoyed。前者意为讨厌的、恼人的；后者意为感到讨厌的。根据句意填annoying，意为：多么恼人啊！
8．stepped 解析：考查时态。根据上文可知，这件事情发生在两天前，故用一般过去时，所以填stepped。句意：为了满足他们，我狠踩油门。
9．telling 解析：考查动名词。考查stop的用法，stop doing sth.意为：停止做某事。故填telling。句意：我的家人似乎放心了，不再告诉我该做什么。
10．easier 解析：考查比较级。根据下文的“than before”可知此处需要比较级，故填easier。句意：在回家的路上，旅程似乎比之前要轻松得多，因为他们每个人都睡着了。
