(2015·长沙高三模拟)One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day,as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that mother had made for us. After breakfast we had arranged,as a surprise,to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country.Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that,because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.
But on the very morning of the day,we changed the plan a little,because it occurred to father that it would be even better to take mother fishing.As the car was hired and paid for,we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are.As father said,if you just go driving without object,you have a sense of aimlessness,but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.
So we all felt it would be nicer for mother to have a definite purpose.Father had just got a fishing rod the day before,which he said mother could use if she wanted to.Only mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.
So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry,though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.
Well,when the car came to the door,it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed.It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.
Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden.He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do,like digging a trench for the garbage,which would save hiring a man,and so he said that he’d stay at home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way.He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.
But of course we all felt that it would never do to let father stay home,especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did.The two girls,Anne and Mary,would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner,only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this.But they said that mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay at home and work.Will and I would have dropped out,but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.
1.The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to ________.
A.show love for their mother

(2015·广东茂名高三模拟)Kids undergo a large amount of pressure and stress during their school exams,which can often become quite overwhelming for them.It may be the first experience of stress,at this level,they have ever experienced and therefore quite frightening.Yes,you may say that it’s all a part of growing up and therefore good lessons for them to learn,and to an extent I agree with you.However,it’s important to learn how to prepare for life’s challenges so that they aren’t overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage them the best we can.
Here are some tips you can use during your kids exam time.
Break their revision plan down into small parts.Doing this will help transform what once seemed like a huge impossible task into a more manageable one.
Help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked on first; once they are out of the way,it will help reduce the worry.
Plan week on week to make sure they are on track.Ticking items of a list each week will help them to feel good about themselves and their progress.
Create rewards for all the ticks—a favourite TV programme,a delicious snack,an hour’s surfing the Internet,computer games or whatever it was that they enjoy the most.This will encourage them to carry on and make them feel good.
Think of strategies on how to deal with exams calmly so their anxieties don’t get_the_better_of them.
Talk about times in their lives when they had been successful at something and look at the qualities they used to get them there—determination,persistence,hard work,patience,positivity,dedication—discuss how they can apply these skills to their exams.
Acknowledge that if they do their best that is good enough.
Ensure they realize that this period in their lives will pass and that exams are only a temporary time in their lives; nothing can and does last forever.
Ensure they keep their eye on the prize:enjoying their long summer holiday when the exams are finished; giving them something to look forward to will help to motivate them and provide a positive end in sight.
6.According to Paragraph 1,it’s important to learn how to prepare for exams because ________.
A.it is a part of growing up
B.it is the first experience of stress
C.it helps kid release stress and do better
D.it is important to get a good mark in exams
7.Which subjects should be worked on first?

D.The most difficult ones.
8.The underlined expression “get the better of” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________.

(2015·娄底高中名校高三联考)With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music,singing and costumes,the Peking Opera is China’s national opera.Full of Chinese cultural facts,the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia(百科全书)of Chinese culture,as well as developing stories,beautiful paintings,magnificent costumes,graceful gestures and martial arts.Since Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas,almost every province in China has more than one Peking Opera Troupe.Opera is so popular among Chinese people,especially seniors,that even “Peking Opera Month” has been declared.
Peking Opera’s main tune originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei and,over time,techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Peking Opera.
It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui Opera Troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi,eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.
In ancient times,Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air,teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly,the performers developed a sharp style of singing.The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps.Peking Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera,ballet and acrobatics (杂技),consisting of dance,dialogue and martial arts.
The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion(打击乐器)band.The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes.The orchestral instruments include the Erhu,Huqin,Yueqin,Sheng,Pipa and other instruments.The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.

Ⅵ.阅读简答
(2015·长沙模拟)Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water—whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise(前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more access to water or more engineering solutions (more dams, for instance).
Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river, or rather, the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the down stream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less agriculture—none of which were expected.
The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market stimulation for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?
This brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water: money. In the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi. If you’re rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool—yet millions in such cities can’t get safe drinking water. People talk about the coming water crisis. I believe we have one now. It is a water crisis for the poor.
1.According to the passage, what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis?(No more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2.What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa?(No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
3.Why are companies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for the Third World?(No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4.What is the tone of the passage?(1 words)
________________________________________________________________________

Ⅰ.单项填空
1.解析:选A。句意:——你为什么选择去一家国际旅行社工作?——哦,你知道,英语是我的强项。因此,这是我的最佳选择。strength“优势,强项”;talent“才能”;ability“能力”;skill“技能”。
2.解析:选D。convinced that...引导状语从句表原因,convince与all the nations为动宾关系,所以用convince的过去分词形式,故选D项。
3.解析:选A。考查动词时态。句意:一百年以后人们会死于什么呢?如果你认为那是一个简单的问题,那说明你没有在关注生物技术革命。此处用现在完成进行时表示从过去到现在一直没有关注。故选A项。
4.解析:选A。句意:警察们正在搜查那座寺庙,以找出那个凶手。“搜查……为找出……”用“search...for...”表达。

7.解析:选C。当dozen与具体数字连用时,既不加复数词尾s,也不后接介词of。当它不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指时,则不仅要加复数词尾s,而且要后接介词 of,此时可将dozens of “许多,几十”视为习语。

14.解析:选B。本题考查过去分词作状语。句意:当被问及对教学工作的看法时,菲利普说他发现教学非常有趣而且很值得做。主语Philip与ask之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词。 When asked 相当于状语从句When Philip was asked。
15.解析:选C。考查交际用语。根据 Look at the sign NO SWIMMING.可知,应该是表示不能游泳,故排除B、D;A选项的回答不是很有礼貌,不如C选项有礼貌。所以选C。

1.解析:选A。根据上下文,作者对未来生活有很多规划,但这些规划能否实现,能否令作者感到乐观和满足却是不可知的。
2.解析:选B。根据句中and前后的并列关系,空处应填一个与happy意义相近的词。content“满意的,满足的”,其它选项与语境不符。
3.解析:选C。结合上题解析可知,本句是解释未来生活很难说的原因,因为没有人能知道第二天会发生什么事情。

10.解析:选B。根据上一段的“I will see myself living in a foreign country”可推断,在本段作者继续展望未来在西班牙生活的场景。
11.解析:选B。根据上一句中作者很快就会对单调的生活感到厌倦,可知作者愿意尝试不同的事情,故B符合语境。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了母亲节那天,“我们”原准备租车带妈妈去乡间转转来庆贺母亲节的,可是爸爸又想带着妈妈和“我们”一起去钓鱼;等到租用的车子到家时,“我们”发现车子太小,不能载着全家人一起前往,于是爸爸首先提出留在家里,而“我们”四个孩子也提出了可以留下。真是计划赶不上变化快。
1.解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day,as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that mother had made for us.”可知,为了表达对妈妈为“我们”做出的牺牲的感激,“我们”全家决定特别庆祝母亲节。故B项正确。
2.解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“But on the very morning of the day,we changed the plan a little,because it occurred to father that it would be even better to take mother fishing.”可知,由于爸爸觉得带妈妈去钓鱼会更好一些,所以计划有所改变。故A项正确。
3.解析:选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Well,when the car came to the door,it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed.It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.”可知,当汽车到家时,“我们”发现汽车太小了,装不下所有人。故C项正确。
4.解析:选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Will and I would have dropped out,but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.”可知,作者没有放弃活动是因为他不会做饭。故C项正确。
5.解析:选B。主旨大意题。根据文章情节可知,母亲节那天,“我们”原准备租车带妈妈去乡间转一下来庆贺母亲节的,可是爸爸又觉得带着妈妈去钓鱼会更好一些;等到租用的车子到家时,“我们”发现车子太小不能载着全家人一起前往,于是爸爸决定独自留下。由此可知,计划赶不上变化。故B项正确。A项意为“功夫不负有心人”;C项意为“晚做总比不做好”;D项意为“好了伤疤忘了疼”,都与文意不符。
B
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要针对如何缓减孩子考试压力向家长提供一些建议。
6.解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“However,it’s important to learn how to prepare for life’s challenges so that they aren’t overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage them the best we can.”可知,孩子们学会怎样为考试做好准备,有利于减轻他们的压力,考得更好。故选C项。
7.解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第四段“Help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked on first;once they are out of the way,it will help reduce the worry.”可知,将最费时间和精力的科目(即难的科目)放在首位解决。故选D项。
8.解析:选A。词义猜测题。前面几段主要介绍缓减压力的方法,根据本句中“Think of strategies on how to deal with exams calmly”提示可知,短语get the better of意为“战胜,击败”。故选A项。
9.解析:选D。细节推断题。根据第十段可知,考试只是人生中的一段短暂的时光,没有事情可以永远持续,由此推断A项不正确;根据文章提出的几个建议可知,本文要求家长帮助孩子们减轻考试压力,而不是让孩子们学会独自应对考试压力,所以B项不正确;根据第六段和最后一段可知,要通过一些娱乐活动激励孩子,所以C项不正确。根据文章提出的建议可推断,家长们应该关心孩子们的心理发展。故D项正确。
10.解析:选B。推理判断题。纵观全文,本文主要针对如何减轻孩子考试压力向家长提供一些建议。因此,这篇文章的读者应该是家长。故选B项。
