1 高三英语第一次模拟考试试题及参考答案 第一部分 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，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected ( 发现 ) on other smartphones with the same app. When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone ’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item ”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it. Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation. 1. The Tile app can help you . A. find your missing items B. use your phone more wisely C. save your phone ’s battery power D. connect something to your phone 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use. B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile. C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth. 2 D. A missing item can ’t be found if it goes out of the needed range. 3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. What the Tile app is. B. How the Tile app works. C. The advantages of the Tile app. D. Why the Tile app was invented. 4. Where does this passage probably come from? A. A science fiction novel. B. An advertisement. C. A personal diary. D. A news report. B The island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visited it about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的 ), but I couldn ’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures ( 指南 ) had said. The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes. It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn ’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Visitors can ’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn ’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it. When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet —a real paradise ( 天堂 )! 5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____. A. some tourist brochures B. his wife ’s introduction C. his first visit there D. some TV programs 3 6. How has the natural beauty of the island been kept according to the text? A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it. B. Nothing has been built in the park there. C. Only bikes can be used on the island. D. Sailing boats mustn ’t pollute the water. 7. When the author first visited Port Cros, _____. A. it was very sunny B. there were few visitors there C. it took them a whole day to walk to Port-Man D. the island was deserted and he stayed there for a whole night C Camp Jano India Celebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature.

A very unique and memorable ( 难忘的 ) experience that kids will want to repeat! Mornings are spen t with the Hindi language at the child ’s level. Afternoons provide the cultural elements taught in an interactive style with special emphasis ( 重点 ) on drama. Bay Language Academy We invite campers (4-12 years old) to travel and open up doors to explore past and recent civilizations through daily field trips.

D On Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids ( 出价 ) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site ( 拍卖网站 ) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars! This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after ( 很吃香地 ) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad 5 baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today. While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of ComicConnect.com, thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world ’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch ( 售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well- preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand ( 报摊 ). That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away ( 藏起来 ) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after. Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No. 1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938. 12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, . A. it attracted no attention at all B. things started to heat up immediately C. the bid price didn ’t go up very quickly at first D. people thought it was worth millions of dollars 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why the comic book is well-preserved. B. Why the comic book is well worth reading. C. Why the comic book is worth so much money. D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention. 14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they . A. all took very good care of it B. all liked reading it very much C. didn ’t believe it was worth a fortune D. all kept it in the same way as that man 6 15. What do we know about the creators of Superman? A. They didn ’t want to sell the rights to a comic book publisher. B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book. C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman. D. They didn ’t make much money from creating Superman. 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。 A simple life means getting rid of many of the things you do so that you can spend more time with people you love and do the things you love. 16 It ’s often a journey of two steps forward and one backward. Evaluate your time. 17 What things do you do from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep? Make a list, and evaluate whether they ’re in line with your priorities. If not, remove them and focus on what ’s important. Redesign your day. Limit your communications. Our lives these days are filled with a vast flow of communications: email, cell phones, paper mail, Twitter, forums, and more. 18 Instead, set a limit on your communications: only deal with emails at certain times of the day. Limit phone calls to certain times too. It is the same with other communications. Set a schedule and stick to it. Try living without a car. OK, this isn ’t something I ’ve done, but many others have. 19 Walk, bike, or take public transportation. It reduces expenses and gives you time to think. A car is also very complicated, needing not only car payments, but insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas and more. 20 If you rid your home of stuff, you might find you don ’t need so much space. I ’m not saying you should live on a boat (although I know some people who happily do so), but if you can be comfortable in a smaller home, it will not only be less expensive, but easier to maintain, and greatly simplify your life. A. Consider a smaller home. B. Have a place for everything. C. How do you spend your day? D. It ’s something I would do if I didn ’t have kids. E. They can take up your whole day if you let them be. F. However, getting to simplicity isn ’t always a simple process. 7 G. Most people don ’t know what “enough” is, and thus they keep buying more. 第二部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 完形填空 (共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D)中，选出可以填入 空白处的最佳选项。 When you concentrate, you focus on one thing and get other thoughts out of your mind.

An ass ( 驴 ), 42 (belong) to an herb-seller who gave him too little food and too much work, could not bear the life any longer.

When asking, he told me he didn ’t dare to go home because of he was afraid of being scolded or beaten by his dad. Hearing that he said, I felt sorry for him and couldn ’t help think of the “wolf father ”. Children will behave well if they are punishing when they do something wrong and that punishment should be physical punishment, which is an extreme important educational concept to many parents. But I think this violent way harms children mental growth and the forming of their good characters. No one can avoid making mistake. Parents should help our children correct mistakes and encourage them make progress. 第二节 书面表达 (满分 25 分) 现在很多学生因为种种原因很少参加体育锻炼，请你以 Middle School Students Should Take an Active Part in Physical Exercise 为题写一篇英语短文，内容包括： 1. 学生们不参加体育活动的原因 ; 2. 进行体育活动的好处 ; 3. 倡导同学们积极参与体育锻炼。 注意： 1. 词数 100 左右 ; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯 ; 10 3. 文章开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Middle School Students Should Take an Active Part in Physical Exercise Nowadays, most students don ’t do sports for kinds of reasons. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ _
