(2015·常德联考)Going on an enjoyable vacation is always a pleasant thing，but people do have different views when talking about what makes a vacation enjoyable.Some people claim that tasty food and a good location are the most influential factors.However，different people have different opinions.
Good food is indeed attractive，but it is usually not a necessary part of an enjoyable vacation.Delicious food is not available everywhere，and we do not always expect to enjoy fine dining while travelling.Tasty food can only make a good vacation more enjoyable，but it can not guarantee the enjoyment.If we had a choice，some of us would even prefer having plain food with friends to eating something tasty alone，for friends can always amuse us all along the way，but tasty food only provides satisfaction while eating.No one keeps eating all along the way，so it is obvious that good food is not always as important and influential as friends.
A good location，in most cases，is more important than good food，but it is still not the primary source of happiness.Travelling to a beautiful place and enjoying the wonderful scenery can be quite enjoyable，but only when we are in good mood.Being with friends is usually one of the best ways to guarantee a good mood.
Friends are like miracles in our lives，for they make ordinary places beautiful and memorable，and also make plain food tasty.If we had to make a choice between travelling with our parents and staying home with our friends while our parents are travelling，I believe that most of us would prefer the latter.Students living in dormitories often eat together，and eating together makes food taste much more delicious than it really is.But if we ask them to eat the same food at home，they will never touch the food because they are not accompanied by their friends.It is such a good thing to have our friends with us，no matter whether we are on vacation or doing something else.
All the three factors are important.As far as I am concerned，I believe that good friends contribute the most to an enjoyable vacation.
1．Which of the following is NOT one of the three influential factors for an enjoyable vacation?
A．Good mood.
B．Good friends.
C．Tasty food.
D．A good location.
2．According to the second paragraph，which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．You can not enjoy tasty food everywhere.
B．Wonderful meals can not make everyone enjoy the vacation.
C．Tasty food only brings enjoyment while eating.
D．Friends and delicious food are equally important for a vacation.
3．We are sure to appreciate the beautiful scenery while travelling by ________.
A．visiting beautiful and famous locations
B．being in a cheerful state of mind
C．eating delicious food with our parents
D．staying home with our friends
4．According to the fourth paragraph，why do many of us prefer“the latter”？
A．Because we like miracles in our ordinary lives.
B．Because we can make tasty food together with our friends.
C．Because we want to spend more time with our friends.
D．Because we can enjoy eating tasty food together.
5．What is the writing style of the passage?
A．Description.
B．Argumentation.
C．Narration.
D．Criticism.

(2015·株洲高三模拟) How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts? Around the holidays，many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts.With just a few simple steps，you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations.Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers，or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey，we are not home！” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
●Set several different lights in your house on random timers(随机定时器)．Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time.Instead，put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time，it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
●If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation，leave them with a friend，rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them.When thieves see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day，they will know you are not home.
●Close all your curtains when you leave home. This is effective to deter possible thefts，as no one can see what is in your house.If they don’t know what is inside，then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in.
This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday.Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.
6．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．To let the outdoor lights on all the time.

A．be replaced by random timers

(2015·益阳箴言中学模拟)Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that lead almost inevitably(不可避免的) to achievement? If so，exactly what is that secret success formula(公式)，and can anyone develop it?
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success，inquiring into the attitudes of 1,500 distinguished people selected at random from Who is Who in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers.Here is one of the most important，that is common sense.
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed.79% award themselves a top score in this quality.And 61% say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.
To most，common sense means the ability to present sound，practical judgment on daily affairs.To do this，one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way : The key ability for success is simplifying.In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.
Is common sense a quality a person is born with，or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed.He owes his to learning how to debate in school.Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others，learning from their and your own mistakes.
Besides common sense，there are many other factors that influence success：knowing your field，self－reliance，intelligence，the ability to get things done，leadership，creativity，relationship with others，and of course luck.But common sense stands out.If you develop these qualities，you’ll succeed.And you might even find yourself listed Who is Who someday.
1．____________

Ⅵ.阅读简答
(2015·益阳南县一中高三月考)Smoking in indoor public places including public working place，public transportation vehicles and some other special outdoor working spaces has been banned in China since January 2011.Should smoking be banned in public places？Of course，it should be.First，banning smoking in public places will not only help in saving smokers from various kinds of health conditions and diseases，but will also be beneficial for passive smokers.
Second，banning smoking in public places will put pressure on smokers to quit.Since a smoker is forbidden from smoking in public places，he will learn how to live without smoking a cigarette for long hours.Moreover，when a smoker doesn’t see anybody around him smoking or smelling of cigarette，it might reduce his urge to smoke too.Thus，people have to quit smoking as a result of smoking ban.
Smoking in public places influences non－smokers to take up smoking，especially adolescents.Since teens are in an impressionable age，when they see people around them smoking，they get encouraged to try it and then it becomes a habit，increasing the incidence of teen smoking.Moreover，asthma(哮喘) and ear infections are commonly seen in children who live around smokers，so if it’s banned in public places，these places will become safe for children and teens，otherwise.
Looking from the economic point of view，since smoking is a major contributing factor to many diseases，it leads to absence from work.Moreover，employees who smoke tend to take breaks now and then to smoke，thus cutting back on their working hours.So，if employers want to increase work productivity and want to make sure that their employees remain healthy，they should ban and stop smoking in and around the offices.
At last，smoking cigarettes adds to the pollution of the air，so if it is banned，it will help in saving the environment from further deterioration(恶化)．
1．According to the passage，in what situation do smokers reduce their urge to smoke？(No more than 11 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2．Seen from the environmental point of view，why shouldn’t people smoke in public places？(No more than 7 words)
________________________________________________________________________
3．How does smoking in and around the offices affect work productivity？(No more than 13 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4．What is the main idea of the passage？(No more than 8 words)

Ⅰ.单项填空
1．解析：选C。句意：如果你能养成一种经常思考如何学习的习惯，那么作为一个学生，你的表现一定会很棒的。performance“表现”；operation“操作、手术”；growth“增长”；character“人物、角色”。
2．解析：选A。考查冠词。price意思是“价格，价钱”，为可数名词。
3．解析：选B。答语句意：但是有你扶梯子，我没有什么可担心的。逗号后面相当于I have nothing to worry about。动词不定式短语to worry about作后置定语。
4．解析：选D。whoever引导让步状语从句，句中谓语动词用一般时表将来时。句意：无论是谁承担这份工作，他都会面临着从未经历过的挑战。B项含有疑问意味，与句意不符合。
5．解析：选A。句意：我不能做出任何保证，但我会尽力的。guarantee“保证，担保”。
6．解析：选D。句意：他们说经济增长是加强国防能力的基础，而这反过来又是综合国力的重要标志。strengthen“加强；增强”。
7．解析：选B。考查动词短语辨析。句意：我试图继续工作，可是我太累了，不能再坚持了。keep out“阻止进入”；come down“下来，降落”；come up“走进，发生，开始，上升”；hold out“坚持，维持”。
8．解析：选B。polish up在此处表示“提高、改善”的意思。make up“组成；编造；弥补”；build up“树立，建立；增进，加强”；take up“占据；拿起”。
9．解析：选B。考查非谓语动词。句意：把一个重要的决定更多地建立在情感基础上，而不是以理性思考为基础，你迟早会后悔的。此处动词base与其逻辑主语you之间构成主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语，故选B项。
10．解析：选C。考查非谓语动词和句子结构。beginning with “What a good day！”是分词短语作后置定语，修饰conversation；根据句中的并列连词and可知空格处与前面的谓语动词starts并列故用一般现在时。
11．解析：选B。考查动词时态。先判断出此处to be completed next year是一个非谓语动词作the airport的后置定语；根据标志词next year及句意“明年将竣工的机场”可知谓语动词表示将来动作，故选B。
12．解析：选D。句意：发现这个条例对妇女不公平，这位领导建议取缔它。find与主语the
leader为主动关系，作定词，应该用现在分词形式，故排除B、C两项。suggest表示“建议”时，其后的宾语从句中使用虚拟语气，故选D 项。
13．解析：选C。The reason why/that...is that...“……的原因是……”。
14．解析：选C。因为rise，arise是不及物动词，不能使用被动结构，所以第一空用raised，构成get sth.done结构；第二空考查make oneself done的用法，所以用heard。
15．解析：选B。考查交际用语。take one’s time“不用急，慢慢来”。

答案：which/that

not always as important and influential as friends.”可知，好朋友比美食对愉快的假期更重要，所以D项不正确。故选D。根据第二段第二句话中的“Delicious food is not available everywhere”可知，美食并不是随处可得，所以A项正确；根据第二段第三句话“Tasty food can only make a good vacation more enjoyable，but it can not guarantee the enioyment.”可知，美食并不能使所有的人享受假期的快乐，所以B项正确；根据第二段第四句话中的“but tasty food only provides satisfaction while eating”可知，美食只是在吃时带来享受，所以C项正确。
3．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话“Travelling to a beautiful place and enjoying the wonderful scenery can be quite enjoyable，but only when we are in good mood.”可知，只有在我们处于良好的精神状态时，我们才能欣赏到美景。故选B。
