How to Use a Modern Public Library
Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library?If so,
you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better.
It's been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have
transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of
knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.
Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you'll
find it easier to get a copy of whatever you're looking for, thanks to a
cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share
their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the
book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform
you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.
Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded
with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs,
music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and
games. If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a
list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.
Join targeted reading groups.Libraries will often hold reading-group
sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you'd like to learn a
language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group
you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading
opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might
find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while
you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to
have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space
for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on
starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied
information about business management shared through chambers of
commerce(商会) and government agencies, and they will offer printing,
faxing and database services you need.

Passage 4(2019课标全国Ⅱ,D) 词数 309
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微
生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International
Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is
NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem?It's turning to a bunch of high
school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high
school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna
Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA
engineers. For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying
ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they're close to a
solution(解决方案). “We don't give the students any breaks. They have to
do it just like NASA engineers,”says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,”Gordon says.“There is no graded homework. There
almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your
goal?’Basically, it's ‘I've got to produce this product and then, at the
end of the year, present it to NASA.’Engineers come and really do an in-
person review, and...it's not a very nice thing at times. It's a hard
business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions
and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies
that I just sit back. I don't teach.” And that annoying bacteria?Gordon
says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,
readying a workable solution to test in space.
1.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?
A.They are hard to get rid of.
B.They lead to air pollution.
C.They appear in different forms.
D.They damage the instruments.
2.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?
A.To strengthen teacher-student relationships.

D.To link space technology with school education.
3.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?
A.Check their product.
B.Guide project designs.
C.Adjust work schedules.
D.Grade their homework.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

B.Space:The Final Homework Frontier
C.Nature:An Outdoor Classroom
D.HUNCH:A College Admission Reform

in-person review, and...it's not a very nice thing at times. It's a hard
business review of your product,句中两次出现review(检查,审查),证明NASA的工
程师做的事情就是对学生做出的研究结果进行检查,所以答案是A项。B:指导项目设
计;C:调整工作时间表;D:给他们的作业打分。

章并非重点介绍NASA;C:Nature: An Outdoor Classroom,Nature并不聚焦太空领
域;D:HUNCH: A College Admission Reform,HUNCH项目不是大学入学改革。

Passage 6(2019浙江,A) 词数 359
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队
的)medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most
collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas
gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G. Piccoli,
found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart—he
earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the
medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko.
But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions:“Who
are you?What antique shop?”However, when she hung up, she regretted the
way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y.“At that point, I knew she meant
business,”Zac says.“To drive eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown.
Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in
Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing.
Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family
treasure.“This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special
occasions(场合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our
hands,”Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so
significant. “But as I grew older,”Adeline says,“and missed my brother
more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left.”Corrado
Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic
Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since
he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.
1.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
A.In the army.
B.In an antique shop.
C.From his mother.
D.From Adeline Rockko.
2.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
A.She was very impolite.
B.She was serious about the medal.
C.She suspected his honesty.
D.She came from a wealthy family.
3.What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?
A.Her parents' advice.
B.Her knowledge of antiques.
C.Her childhood dream.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.Her memory of her brother.

Passage 8(2018江苏,C)
If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few
billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car
companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major
players. By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly
to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems (生态系统), small
farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co-founder of the
National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国青年农会) and a family farmer
myself, I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that
are transforming the industry.
For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just
a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee,
with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small-scale
farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge
improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly
making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of
California. Before the tool came out, small farmers couldn't touch the
price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination
of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in
business.
The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without
fundamental changes to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
land. Competition from investors, developers, and established large farmers
makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers. From 2004 to
2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many
regions.
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm
workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship—the greatest
barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65
outnumbering (多于) farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-
thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the
path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food.
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable
and fair farm economy, but farmers can't clumsily put them together before
us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase
farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek
policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next
generation of farmers from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be
debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers.

Passage 9(2018浙江,C) 词数 292
As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T
Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the
first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908. Only
eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would
build fifteen million of them.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped
some of the most lasting aspects of American culture:the roadside diner,
the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century,
the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high
speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the
most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a
never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in
history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with“a chicken in every pot
and a car in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward,
never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based
society into an industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global
ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent
since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption, climate change
and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer
Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济) is a chance to keep
American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green
technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant
food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”
1.Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To explain Americans' love for travelling by car.
B.To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C.To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D.To praise the effectiveness of America's road system.
2.What has the use of cars in America led to?
A.Decline of economy.
B.Environmental problems.
C.A shortage of oil supply.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.A farm-based society.
3.What is Friedman's attitude towards America's future?
A.Ambiguous B.Doubtful.
C.Hopeful. D.Tolerant.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国汽车的发展及其对美国社会和文化发
展的影响。
1.B 细节理解题。从文章第二段的The car shaped some of the most lasting
aspects of American culture:...可知,此处提到“hamburger”的目的是表明美国的
汽车对美国文化的影响。因此B项正确。
2.B 细节理解题。从第四段的The cars that drove the American Dream have
helped to create a global ecological disaster.可知,汽车的使用导致了美国的环
境问题。故选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。从文章的最后一段可知,Friedman指出绿色经济是保持美国实力的
机会。因此,他对美国的未来是“充满希望的”。故选C项。

􀳅When Columbus discovered the New World?
􀳅The British Museum opened in 1759?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time, from the foundation of
Rome to the creation of the internet. Along the way are tales of kings and
queens, hot air balloons...and monkeys in space.
Travel through 100 of the most unbelievable years in world history and
learn why being a Roman Emperor wasn't always as good as it sounds, how the
Hundred Years' War didn't actually last for 100 years and why Spencer
Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record.
CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history,
beautifully illustrated and full of unbelievable facts. While CHRONOLOGICA
tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and
Alexander the Great, this book also gives an account of the lives of
lesser-known individuals including the explorer Mungo Park and sculptor
Gutzon Borglum.
This complete but brief historical collection is certain to entertain
readers young and old, and guaranteed to present even the biggest history
lover with something new!

2.B 细节理解题。本文的大量篇幅被用于介绍书中的历史时间、历史事件和历史人物,
由此可知作者通过介绍书的内容的方式来推荐这本书,所以答案为B项。
Passage 17(2017天津,D)
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But
where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an
impatient society like ours?To understand the issue, let's take a look at
three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without
doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池)as
an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on
but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits,
the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs
over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes
the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires
a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a
Forced Wait. Directions are very specific.“Bring three cups of water to
boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures
strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This
type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike
the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does
not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is
strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous
as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well
serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to rely
on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time
you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle
soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the
sky, don't be desperate. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.
1.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to .
A.keep ourselves busy
B.get absent-minded
C.grow anxious
D.stay focused
2.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
3.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.
C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.
4.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
A.Take it seriously.
B.Don't rely on others.
C.Do something else.
D.Don't lose heart.
5.The author supports his view by .
A.exploring various causes of “waits”
B.describing detailed processes of “waits”
C.analyzing different categories of “waits”
D.revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,题材为社会生活类。本文介绍了日常生活中出现的三
种等待,并且对每种等待作了详细的分析。
1.B 细节理解题。第二段对Watched-Pot Wait进行了具体的描述。由第二段倒数第二
句中的“...the brain slips away from the body and wanders about...”可知,人
们在这样的等待中容易走神,故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“This one requires a bit of discipline.”
可知,A项中的“requires some self-control”与之相符,故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。 第四段对Lucky-Break Wait作了详细的描述,本段最后一句中的
“waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will
happen”表明,这种等待不一定会带来预期的结果,故选B。
4.D 细节理解题。 根据题干中的the next time可知,本题细节出现在最后一段。根据
最后一段第二句“The next time...don't be desperate.”可知,作者建议我们在等
待时不要绝望,故选D。
5.C 推理判断题。本文分析了日常生活中的三种等待。故选C项。
Passage 18(2017浙江,C) 词数 322
FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived
here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in
order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which
requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a
fictional job ad.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a
growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange
for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it
more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a
vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it's only
natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it
as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for
immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that
this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding
across cultures.
Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed
a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants
numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or
about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy
amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5
percent, with immigrants' children accounting for an ever larger percentage
of births in Italy.
Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent
residence(居住权)would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live
with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe.
She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage
integration.
Italians always “see me as a foreigner,”an outsider, even though
she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language
fluently, she said.
1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?
A.To continue to stay in Italy.
B.To teach her children Italian.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.To find a better job in Italy.
D.To better mix with the Italians.
2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may .
A.reduce Italy's population quickly
B.cause conflicts among people
C.lead to financial difficulties
D.put pressure on schools
3.What do we know about Cojochru?
A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.
B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D.She wishes to go back to her home country.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了意大利对外来移民进行语言测试以及人
们对此的不同看法。
1.A 细节理解题。从第一段的“in order to stay she's had to prove her
language skills by taking a test which requires...”可知,她参加一项语言测验
是为了继续留在意大利。
2.B 推理判断题。从第三段的“Some immigrant advocates worry that as..., such
measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration.(一些
移民提倡者担忧,艰难的经济时期使得本土人更难保住工作,而这样的举措与其说将成
为融合,不如说将变成一种不宽容的手段。)”可知,他们担心会引起人们之间的冲突。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“even though she's stayed in the country
for years and can speak the local language fluently”可知,C项正确。
Passage 19(2017北京,A)话题:人物故事 难度:易 词数:344
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the
Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat
during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor
Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White
play. The two didn't know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a
month or so before.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Paris's eyes rolled back,”
Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without
immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls
were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know
CPR?”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick
person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to
organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still,
she hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one
else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary.
I knew it was the difference between life and death,”says Taylor.
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called
911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an
electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck
stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don't
survive this. My team saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best
chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college
soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,”
Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”
1.What happened to Paris on a March day?
A.She caught a bad cold.
B.She had a sudden heart problem.
C.She was knocked down by a ball.
D.She shivered terribly during practice.
2.Why does Paris say she was lucky?

C.She received immediate CPR.
D.She came back on the softball team.
3.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?

答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。题材为人物故事类。文章介绍了Taylor Bisbee用刚
刚学到的心肺复苏(CPR)及时救助队友Paris White的过程。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句Paris had suffered a sudden heart
failure.可知,Paris突发心脏病,故选B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二、三段的内容可知,对于心脏病突发的人来说,身边有人
能立刻实施心肺复苏(CPR),这是幸运的,故选C项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的But when no one else came forward, Taylor
ran to Paris and began doing CPR.和第六段中的Taylor's swift action可
知,Taylor在紧急时刻,表现得既勇敢又镇静,故选B。

Passage 21(2016课标全国Ⅰ,B)
Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never
planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to
San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a
year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four
years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving
them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving
closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence
suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama's mother-in-law,
Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House
to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by
grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson's decision
will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more
families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from
home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says
Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now
realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them,
especially when you're raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with
his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes
it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your
grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is
struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1.Why was Garza's move a success?
A.It strengthened her family ties.
B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled her to make more friends.
D.It helped her know more new places.
2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson's decision?
A.17% expressed their support for it.
B.Few people responded sympathetically.
C.83% believed it had a bad influence.
D.The majority thought it was a trend.
3.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A.They were unsure of themselves.
B.They were eager to raise more children.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.They wanted to live away from their parents.
D.They had little respect for their grandparents.
4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A.Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C.Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D.Get to know themselves better.

家更远更快来证明自己可以独立,由此可判断选择C项。A项,根据他们想离家来证明自
己可判断是非常自信的,因此可排除。B项和原文不符。D项,文中未提到对祖父母不尊敬
的内容。
4.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第二句Almost every...it is wiser to say
no...和最后一句...especially knowing your adult child is struggling...可判
断选A项。

Passage 25(2016北京,A)
December 15,2014
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ
of 150+at 17, I'm anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep
focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In
high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first
website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus
five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to
go to college after high school, but couldn't.So, I was killing my time at
home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your
training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced
Mathematics. Currently, I'm learning your Probability course. I have
hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your
videos.This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing
with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to.
Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going
full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful
profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better
than, my competitors.
Thank you. You've given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the
first time, I feel good about myself because I'm doing something, not
because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you're saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

Join the discussion...
Lakelander·2 hours ago
Today,a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between Malvern and
Reading,making many passengers upset.I wonder how he would react if I were
to read my newspaper out loud on the train.I have never had the courage to
do it,though.
Pak50·57 minutes ago
Why not give it a try?Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical
instrument.The late musician Dennis Brain is said to have asked a fellow
train passenger to turn off his radio.When his request was refused,he took
out his French horn(号)and started to practise.
Angie O'Edema·42 minutes ago
I don't see how musical instruments can help improve manners in
public.Don't do to others what you wouldn't like to be done to
yourself.Once,a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone.I
left my seat quietly,giving him some privacy to finish his conversation.He
realised this and apologised to me.When his phone rang again later,he left
his seat to answer it.You see,a bit of respect and cooperation can do the
job better.
Taodas·29 minutes ago
I did read my newspaper out loud on a train,and it turned out well.The guy
took it in good part,and we chatted happily all the way to Edinburgh.

Passage 29(2015浙江,A)
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant
source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little
we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
can be sure they“know”all the words they are reading.This means that when
they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of
everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided
to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to
get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started,I said to them,“Now I'm going to
say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher
say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you
to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find
out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a
book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.Also I'm
not going to ask you what words mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One
girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard
time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still
looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,“Mr.Holt,do you really mean
that?”I said just as seriously,“I mean every word of it.”
During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at
her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book
was.I said to myself,“It can't be,”and went to take a closer look.Sure
enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I
said,“Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?”She
answered,“Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next
good part.”
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is—an
exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good
parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something
else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child
get every last little scrap of“understanding”that can be dug out of a
book.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
1.According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result

Passage 30(2015浙江,B)
Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information,especially
numbers,percentages,and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to
interpret.That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining
the data.
Books $7Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like
reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting
details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand
graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction
paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks
at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will
usually tell you where the data came from(for example,a scientific study of
400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the
author's main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the
main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the
graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that
form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the
graph.Each axis will always have a label.The label tells you what each axis
measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we
see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned,and the y-axis shows
how many students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students earned an A
because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There
is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph
1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of bars,it plots
points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph—
two labeled axes—and can be read the same way.To read a line graph,it's
important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line
segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to
show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a
bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration(See Graph 2).北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement
for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that,on the first day,the
pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day
2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment
angled down,as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew
fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,visual way
to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided
into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph
is commonly used to show percentages;the whole pie represents 100
percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend, or it might use icons or labels
within each slice. This pie graph shows one month's expenses(See Graph 3).
Food $25
Movies $12
Clothing $36
Savings $20
1.When used in a graph, a legend is .
A.a guide to the symbols and colors

Passage 33(2015四川,C)
Across Britain,burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this
morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket
bunches of flowers.But,according to a new study,we should be placing a
higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as
paid work.Now,the new study has shown that if they were paid for their
parental labours,they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do,as well as the hours
they are working,to determine the figure.This would make their yearly
income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119 hours a
week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as
overtime.After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found
that,on most days,mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at
around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour,it
suggested some of the roles that mums could take on,including
housekeeper,part-time lawyer,personal trainer and entertainer.Being a part-
time lawyer,at ￡48.98 an hour,would prove to be the most profitable of
the“mum jobs”,with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face,with 80 per cent
making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half
said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's
Day.The emotional,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their
children can be never-ending,but children are also sources of great joy and
happiness.Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is
money well spent.
1.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?
A.￡30,000.
B.￡142,000.
C.￡172,000.
D.￡202,000.
2.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .
A.emotional demand
B.low pay for work
C.heavy workload
D.lack of training
3.What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A.Mothers' importance shows in family all year long.
B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C.Mothers' devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
4.What can we conclude from the study?
A.Mothers' working hours should be largely reduced.
B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C.Mothers' labour is of a higher value than it is realised.
D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

Passage 36(2015湖南,A)
Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians
Are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our
readers.
■Yes,many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are disrespectful
of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands
glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around
them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian
crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade(避让)them or just stand
still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the
moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the
welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
■I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists(Viewpoints,May
29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went
round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear
helmets,fluorescent(发荧光的)jackets and lights at night and in the
morning.They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
■Cyclists jump on and off pavements(which are meant for
pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a
special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement
when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users,including horse riders,manage to obey the rules so why
not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured,so when they do
hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be
traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.
—JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
1.Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that .
A.drivers should be polite to cyclists
B.road accidents can actually be avoided
C.some pedestrians are a threat to road safety
D.walking while using phones hurts one's eyes

Passage 37(2015湖北,A)
“I see you've got a bit of water on your coat,”said the man at the
petrol station.“Is it raining out there?”“No,it's pretty nice,”I
replied,checking my sleeve.“Oh,right.A pony(马驹)bit me earlier.”北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
As it happened,the bite was virtually painless:more the kind of small
bite you might get from a naughty child.The pony responsible was queuing up
for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor,and perhaps thought I'd
jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-
heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods,despite
signs asking them not to.By feeding the ponies,tourists increase the risk
of them getting hit by a car,and make them harder to gather during the
area's annual pony drift(迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be
checked,the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers'
milk,and those who've gone beyond their limited area can be returned to
their correct area.Some of them are also later sold,in order to limit the
number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago,I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of
here.While walking,I noticed a pony roll over on his back.“Hello!”I said
to him,assuming he was just rolling for fun,but he was very still and,as I
got closer,I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily.I
began to properly worry about him.Fortunately,I managed to get in touch
with a Dartmoor's Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo.The
officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony.The pony
had actually been trapped between two rocks.The farmer freed him,and he
began to run happily around again.
Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies,who play a critical role in creating
the diversity of species in this area.Many people are working hard to
preserve these ponies,and trying to come up with plans to find a
sustainable(可持续的)future for one of Dartmoor's most financially-troubled
elements.
1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?
A.To protect the tourists from being bitten.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.To keep the ponies off the petrol station.
C.To avoid putting the ponies in danger.
D.To prevent the ponies from fighting.
2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is .
A.to feed baby ponies on milk
B.to control the number of ponies
C.to expand the habitat for ponies
D.to sell the ponies at a good price
3.What was the author's first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?
A.He freed it from the trap.
B.He called a protection officer.
C.He worried about it very much.
D.He thought of it as being naughty.
4.What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor's ponies?
A.It lacks people's involvement.
B.It costs a large amount of money.
C.It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.
D.It has caused an imbalance of species.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为夹叙夹议文,题材是动物保护类。Haytor是一个旅游胜地,虽然有
禁止喂食马驹的标语,但游客还是经常喂马驹,这就增加马驹被车撞到的危险,也不利于
马驹的迁移。我曾经救过一匹马驹,同时很多人也都在尽力保护它们。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,喂马驹会增加它们被车撞到的危险,故选
C。
2.B 细节理解题。第四段主要介绍马驹迁移的目的,根据最后一句可知,B项正确。
3.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第三句“...assuming he was just rolling for
fun...”可知作者在看到马驹在地上打滚时,第一反应是认为它在淘气地玩耍,故D项
正确。
4.B 推理判断题。由最后一段可知,很多人正在尽力保护这些马驹,为它们计划一个可
持续的未来,从“one of Dartmoor's most financially-troubled elements”可以推
断出保护马驹需要大量资金。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Passage 38(2015湖北,C)
Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam
and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland,the Netherlands.Unlike most
of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil
mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still
attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding
forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For
Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile(纺织)and media industries,and
modern architecture.
In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was
marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to
Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They
built themselves large villas(别墅)in the wooded surroundings of the
town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the
wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the
textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But
the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the
1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse
Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF)established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most
radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the
town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the
media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the
leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.
In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed
hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural
masterpieces(杰作)are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air
museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately
75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His
masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 1928—1931.It has wide北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The
building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination
of“blocks”.Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by
walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.
1.Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that .
A.it has a large population
B.it is cut off from big cities
C.it has many beautiful gardens
D.it is in a hilly area with sandy soil
2.What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?
A.Building a railway link to Amsterdam.
B.Helping its textile industry to develop.
C.Constructing large villas for the poor.
D.Assisting its agricultural industry.
3.The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the
establishment of .
A.a radio factory
B.the media capital
C.a radio station
D.a TV station
4.What is known about W.M.Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall?
A.It consists of approximately 75 buildings.
B.It looks like an open air museum in the city.
C.It is a classic example in architecture textbooks.
D.It has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材是文化风俗类。Hilversum是荷兰一个中等大小的城
市,与其他荷兰城市不同,它拥有自己的特色,它的纺织行业、媒体行业和建筑行业非常
闻名。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is
actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.”可以看出,
Hilversum与荷兰其他城市不同,它位于丘陵区域,这个区域的土壤中含沙较多。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第三句“They moved in after big success in
the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in
Hilversum.”可知,这一家人到这里来有助于Hilversum发展纺织业。
3.A 细节理解题。由第三段第一句可知,该地在1920年开始转向媒体经济,当时NSF在
这里建立了一家无线电厂,故A项正确。
评析 题干中的beginning为关键信息,因而在解题时细心审题尤为重要。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It has wide international fame and is
included in many architecture textbooks.”可以得知,这座建筑世界闻名,被纳入
了很多建筑教材中,由此可推断出C项正确,在很多建筑教材中,这座建筑都被视为典范。
Passage 39(2015湖北,D)
The oddness of life in space never quite goes away.Here are some
examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep.Its position presents its
own challenges.The main question is whether you want your arms inside or
outside the sleeping bag.If you leave your arms out,they float free in zero
gravity,often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet(芭
蕾)dancer.“I'm an inside guy,”Mike Hopkins says,who returned from a six-
month tour on the International Space Station.“I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station,the ordinary becomes strange.The exercise bike for the
American astronauts has no handlebars.It also has no seat.With no
gravity,it's just as easy to pedal violently.You can watch a movie while
you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want.But station
residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long.Without
gravity to help circulate air,the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气)has a
tendency to form an invisible(隐形的)cloud around your head.You can end up
with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Leroy Chiao,54,an American retired astronaut after four
flights,describes what happens even before you float out of your
seat.“Your inner ear thinks you're falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling
you you're standing straight.That can be annoying—that's why some people
feel sick.”Within a couple of days—truly terrible days for some—
astronauts' brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner
ear,and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly
dangerous.For instance,astronauts lose bone mass.That's why exercise is
considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space
Administration(NASA)puts it right on the workday schedule.The focus on
fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any
individual astronaut healthy.NASA is worried about two things:recovery time
once astronauts return home,and,more importantly,how to maintain strength
and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make
a round-trip to Mars.
1.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A.Deciding on a proper sleep position.
B.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.
C.Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.
D.Finding a right time to go to sleep.
2.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .
A.they circle around on their bikes
B.they use microcomputers without a stop
C.they exercise in one place for a long time
D.they watch a movie while pedaling
3.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days
because .
A.their senses stop working
B.they have to stand up straight
C.they float out of their seats unexpectedly北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.their brains receive contradictory messages
4.One of NASA's major concerns about astronauts is .
A.how much exercise they do on the station
B.how they can remain healthy for long in space
C.whether they can recover after returning home
D.whether they are able to go back to the station
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为科普知识类。太空生活与地球生活有很大差异,本文
针对太空生活中的睡眠问题、健身、个人感官感受以及面临的危险进行了介绍。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its position presents its own challenges.
The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the
sleeping bag.”可知,睡觉时的姿势是主要挑战,主要问题是胳膊放在睡袋里面还是外
面。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后三句可知,宇航员一定注意不要在一个地方停留时间
太长,因为呼出的二氧化碳会在头顶形成一层隐形云雾,令人有头疼的反应。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中Leroy Chiao说的话“Your inner ear...that's why
some people feel sick.”可以得知,宇航员在太空中时,耳朵告诉大脑的信息是你正
在下落,而眼睛告诉大脑的信息是你在直立,这会使人觉得不适,即大脑得到相互矛盾的
信息。
4.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句冒号后的内容可知NASA正在担心的有两件事
情,根据more importantly可知他们主要担心的是在往返火星的两年半或更长的时间
内,宇航员如何保持体力和健康。故B项符合文章内容。
评析 题中的major与原文中的more importantly相呼应,只要细心审题、提取线索,
就不难发现NASA主要担心的问题。本题难度适中。
Passage 40(2015福建,A)
Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English
villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include
cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre
course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into
their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is
a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos(disappointingly, but
understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the
competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional
accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,
New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and
China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just
spicy(辛辣), but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and
your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which
is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a
chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the
world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one
thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this
festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bu ol hosts
La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads
up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The
early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official
fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around
50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that
moves,runs,or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make
friends again—and for a much-needed wash!北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

Passage 42(2015北京,A)
The Boy Made It!
One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in
Maine.In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce
snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off
the path.Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone! He didn't have
food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought
about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the
tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding
him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter from the
freezing wind and snow.If he didn't,his body temperature would get very
low,which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of
snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of
himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water
from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water.Not
knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could
—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn't find
anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without
shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
help.He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found
him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for
TV.He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs.Wild.That's where he
learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs.
Wild,Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds,he was super impressed
that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard
Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

Passage 45(2015安徽,C)
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store
information,are people remembering less?If you know your computer will save
information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain?Experts are
wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some
experiments.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is
changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant
facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the
computer would save the information.The second group understood that the
computer would not save it.Later,the second group remembered the北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
information better.People in the first group knew they could find the
information again,so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and
told them where to find the information on the computer.The information was
in a specific computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remembered
the folder location(位置)better than the facts.When people use the
Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather, they remember how to
find it.This is called“transactive memory(交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a
result of the Internet.Instead, computer users are developing stronger
transactive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize huge
quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later
date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but
there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
1.The passage begins with two questions to .
A.introduce the main topic
B.show the author's attitude
C.describe how to use the Internet
D.explain how to store information
2.What can we learn about the first experiment?
A.The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C.The first group did not try to remember the information.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
3.In transactive memory, people .
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.organize information like a computer
D.remember how to find the information
4.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A.We are using memory differently.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.We are becoming more intelligent.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.

Passage 2(2014课标全国Ⅰ,D)
As more and more people speak the global languages of
English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly
disappearing.In fact,half of the 6,000—7,000 languages spoken around the
world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United
Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization(UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of
organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many
years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who
specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is
following in tha t traditio n.His recently published book,A Grammar of
Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their
Culture,grows out of his experience living,working,and raising a family in
a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point
for Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across
the Himalayan reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content
to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important
materials—including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes—
which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now,through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital
Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores around the
world,available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of
communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to
digital technology and the widely available Internet,Turin notes,the
endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
1.Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.promote global languages
B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up language research organizations
2.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
3.What is Turin's book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
4.Which of the following best describes Turin's work?
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repair and reward.
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.

Passage 3(2014课标全国Ⅱ,A)
Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a
hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some
shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase
was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important
papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely
in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the
paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle
down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to
pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he
said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had
been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his
papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and
found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them
out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the
documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which
my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day
but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their
kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

丈夫Rashid的手提箱被盗,里面装有重要文件,包括护照,在这个举目无亲的陌生城市
里,他会得到帮助吗?
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中while looking for a house for me and our
children可知,Rashid在抵达悉尼之后,计划为家人寻找一套房子。
2.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,女孩的父母在Rashid写了一半的信
中发现了他给朋友留下的新电话号码。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

家人归还(give back)他被盗的文件,而非展示、分发或递送。
4.C 主旨大意题。本文讲述了一户善良的人家在垃圾桶内发现了Rashid被盗的重要文

Passage 4(2014课标全国Ⅱ,B)
Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot
“greener”toward the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there
even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says
Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a
social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and
especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the
movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord
Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth
Day.
According to US government reports,emissions(排放)from cars and trucks
have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number
of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to
9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the
world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has
become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600
recycling programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced
lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and
therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for
environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law
school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing
else will change!”says Bruce Anderson.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
1.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about
.
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
4.What is especially important for environmental protection according to
the last paragraph?
A.Education.
B.Planning.
C.Green living.
D.CO reduction.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材是节能环保类。作者阐述了自1970年以来,美国在环
境保护方面所取得的成就。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知在1970年以前,美国人对于环境问题知之甚
少。let alone意为“更不必说”。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中and especially millions of grass-roots
Americans可知,对于环保的支持主要来自基层民众。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三、四两段的数据例证可推断出,美国人已经通过有效的措施
降低了污染。根据第三段第一句可知A项过于绝对;根据第三段第三句可知B项与文意北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
相悖;根据第三段第二句可知一氧化碳排放超标的城市由40个减少到了9个,故C项错
误。
4.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段,特别是education programs for
environment(环境教育培训)可知答案选A。

Passage 7(2014陕西,B)
When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines,Iowa,he told me
about the only time he had been there.It was in the 1930s,when he was an
editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU)in
Dallas,Texas.He also worked as a professor at SMU,and there was a girl
student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease.She couldn't
afford the operation because her family was poor.
Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston,a seaside town near
Houston,Texas.She was cleaning out the attic(阁楼)one day when she came
across an old dusty manuscript(手稿).On its top page were the words,“By北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
O.Henry.”It was a nice story,and she sent it to her daughter at SMU,who
showed it to my father.My father had never read the story before,but it
sounded like O.Henry,and he knew that O.Henry had once lived in Houston.So
it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in
the Galveston boarding house,and had written the story there and left the
manuscript behind by accident.My father visited an O.Henry expert at
Columbia University in New York,who authenticated the story as O.Henry's.
My father then set out to sell it.Eventually,he found himself in Des
Moines,meeting with Gardner Cowles,a top editor at the Des Moines
Register.Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot.My father took
the money to the girl.It was just enough for her to have the operation she
so desperately needed.
My father never told me what the O.Henry story was about.But I doubt
that it could have been better than his own story.
1.Who found the O.Henry's manuscript?
A.The girl's mother.
B.The author's father.
C.The girl.
D.The author.
2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was
found in the attic?
A.O.Henry once worked in Houston.
B.O.Henry once stayed in Galveston.
C.O.Henry once moved to Des Moines.
D.O.Henry once taught at SMU.
3.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means
.
A.named
B.treated
C.proved
D.described北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.According to the text,why did the author's father go to Des Moines?
A.To sell the O.Henry story.
B.To meet the author himself.
C.To talk with the O.Henry expert.
D.To give money to the girl.

4.A 细节理解题。根据第三段前三句可知选A。
Passage 8(2014山东,A)
One morning,Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the
local elementary school.She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the
dog.Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(传单),and
put them in mailboxes.Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought
some pet supplies,warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.At
the time,Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old,and Jack,who was recovering from
a heart operation,was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog,whom they had
started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself
against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the
door,Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering a
heart attack.Riley ran over to Jack,but as soon as Ann bent over to help
him the dog went silent.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
“If it hadn't come to get me,the doctor said Jack would have
died,”Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point,no one had called to
claim the dog,so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost
dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying,and told
him,“That dog saved my friend's son.”
Peter drove to Ann's house to pick up his dog,and saw Thomas and Jack
crying in the window.After a few moments Peter said,“Maybe Odie was
supposed to find you,maybe you should keep it.”
1.What did Tracy do after finding the dog?
A.She looked for its owner.
B.She gave it to Ann as a gift.
C.She sold it to the dollar store.
D.She bought some food for it.
2.How did the dog help save Jack?
A.By breaking the door for Ann.
B.By leading Ann to Jack's room.

D.By attending Jack when Ann was out.
3.What was Ann's attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?

C.Tolerant. D.Grateful.
4.For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?
A.To help her friend's son.
B.To interview Tracy.
C.To take back his dog.
D.To return the flier to her.
5.What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph?
A.It would be given to Odie.
B.It would be kept by Ann's family.
C.It would be returned to Peter.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.It would be taken away by Tracy.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事类。Ann 的邻居Tracy在当地的小学附近
发现了一条狗,没想到这条狗给Ann一家人带来了那么多的东西。那它到底做了些什么
呢?
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段开头的“Tracy给这条狗拍了照片,还打印了400份招领
传单”可知Tracy是在寻找这条狗的主人,所以答案为A项。B、C两项与原文事实不符,D
项是Ann在Tracy寻找主人的同时做的事情,与问题不符。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的相关内容可知答案选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中Ann说的话“要不是它过来叫我的话,医生说Jack就
死了”可推断出Ann对这条狗充满了感激之情,故答案为D项。sympathetic同情的,怜
悯的;doubtful怀疑的;tolerant容忍的,宽恕的;grateful感激的,感谢的。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的描述“第二天早上Tracy接到了一个叫Peter的打
来的电话,他认出了传单上的狗是自己的”和最后一段的第一句话Peter drove to
Ann's house to pick up his dog...可知Peter打电话是为了取回自己的小狗,所以
答案为C项。
5.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话中的maybe you should keep it可以推断出狗
的主人Peter没有带走自己的狗而是将狗留给了Ann一家,所以答案为B项。Odie是
Peter对自己狗的称呼,排除A项;C项与原文意思相反;没有信息提到Tracy会带走它,
排除D项。

Passage 9(2014山东,C)
Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who
were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired,along with her
sister,by John Ashley,a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholder.She became known
as “Mumbet”or “Mum Bett”.
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day,Ashley's wife
tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade.Mumbet protected her sister北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
and took the blow instead.Furious,she left the house and refused to come
back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return,Mumbet consulted a
lawyer,Theodore Sedgewick.With his help,Mumbet sued(起诉)for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys,Mumbet had listened to many discussions of
the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people
were free and equal,then she thought it should apply to
her.Eventually,Mumbet won her freedom—the first slave in Massachusetts to
do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough,after the trial,the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back
and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work
for Sedgewick.Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy lived on in her many
descendants(后裔).One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois,one of
the founders of the NAACP,and an important writer and spokesperson for
African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she
was buried.It reads,in part:“She was born a slave and remained a slave for
nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write,yet in her own sphere
she had no superior or equal.”
1.What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?
A.She was born a slave.
B.She was a slaveholder.
C.She had a famous sister.
D.She was born into a rich family.
2.Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys?
A.She found an employer.
B.She wanted to be a lawyer.
C.She was hit and got angry.
D.She had to take care of her sister.
3.What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new constitution?
A.She should always obey her owners' orders.
B.She should be as free and equal as whites.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.How to be a good servant.
D.How to apply for a job.
4.What did Mumbet do after the trial?
A.She chose to work for a lawyer.
B.She founded the NAACP.
C.She continued to serve the Ashleys.
D.She went to live with her grandchildren.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.A story of a famous writer and spokesperson.
B.The friendship between a lawyer and a slave.
C.The life of a brave African American woman.
D.A trial that shocked the whole world.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事类。在美国奴隶制时代一个名叫Mumbet的
女奴通过自己的努力和律师的帮助,成了马萨诸塞州第一个获得自由的奴隶。她的精神
一直在影响着她的子孙后代。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话和最后一段第二句话可知她一出生就是一个奴
隶,所以答案为A项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的描述:Mumbet代替自己的妹妹受罚——被奴隶主的
妻子用铁锹打,于是她一怒之下离开并拒绝回来。由此可知Mumbet离开Ashley家是因
为被打并感到气愤,故答案为C项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的描述:如果宪法上说所有的人都是自由和平等的,那
她认为那对她来说也适用。由此推断出Mumbet觉得自己也应该和所有人(所有的白人)
一样成为一个自由人。所以答案为B项。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Mumbet consulted a lawyer,Theodore Sedgewick
和第四段中的She...instead went to work for Sedgewick可知她拒绝了Ashley家
的邀请,去为那个律师干活了,所以答案为A项。
5.C 主旨大意题。本文从Mumbet出生一直写到她离世,描述了她为奴隶获得自由而付
出的努力及所做的斗争。所以本文的主题应该是:一位非裔美国女人勇敢奋斗的一生,答
案为C项。
Passage 10(2014山东,E)北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
The kids in this village wear dirty,ragged clothes.They sleep beside
cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud.They have no school.Yet they
all can chant the English alphabet,and some can make words.
The key to their success:20 tablet computers(平板电脑)dropped off in
their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S.group called One Laptop Per
Child.
The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can
teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist.The
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project
data say they're already amazed.“What I think has already happened is that
the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of
kindergarten,”said Matt Keller,who runs the Ethiopia program.
The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-
year-old Kelbesa Negusse.The device's camera was disabled to save
memory,yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the
camera work.He called himself a lion,a marker of accomplishment in
Ethiopia.
With his tablet,Kelbesa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the
many English animal names he knows.Then he spelled words on his own.“Seven
months ago he didn't know any English.That's unbelievable,”said Keller.
The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading”,where
they can read to learn.It won't be in Amharic,Ethiopia's first language,but
in English,which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.
1.How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?
A.It trains teachers for them.
B.It contributes to their self-study.
C.It helps raise their living standards.
D.It provides funds for building schools.
2.What can we infer from Keller's words in Paragraph 3?
A.They need more time to analyze data.
B.More children are needed for the research.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.He is confident about the future of the project.
D.The research should be carried out in kindergartens.
3.It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could .
A.learn English words quickly
B.draw pictures of animals
C.write letters to researchers
D.make phone calls to his friends
4.What is the aim of the project?
A.To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.
B.To make Amharic widely used in the world.
C.To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.
D.To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文,题材为语言学习类。本文记叙了美国在贫困的埃塞俄
比亚地区进行了一项研究,结果表明孩子们在没有学校和老师的条件下,利用平板电脑
这项新科技可以很快地学英语。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知这项工程的目的是查明在没有学校和老师的
地方,运用现代新技术,孩子们能不能自学。而且下文提到效果很好,所以应选B项(这项
工程有助于孩子们自学)。
2.C 推理判断题。第三段中这项工程的负责人Keller说:“我认为已经发生的事情是,
孩子们学到的东西比他们上一年幼儿园学到的还要多。”所以可以推断出这项工程很成
功,而且前景也会很好,故选C项。
3.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知:七个月前,Kelbesa对英语一无所知,但是现在
却能自己拼写出很多英文单词,这令人难以相信,所以选A项。
4.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句The project aims to get kids to a stage
called “deep reading”,where they can read to learn.可知这项工程是帮助埃塞
俄比亚的儿童通过阅读来学习。紧接着下一句话是说:不是帮他们学他们的本族语
Amharic,而是英语,所以应选C项。
Passage 11(2014辽宁,B)
(Q=Question;A=Answer)
Situation Ⅰ北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Q:If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to
move?
A:Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close
sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You
undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive
his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.
Situation Ⅱ
Q:If I use the bathroom at a store,do I need to buy something?
A:Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency?
If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did.
However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a
customer, and you should act like one.
Situation Ⅲ
Q:If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him
to keep it down?
A:No. Try other means:1)Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets
down. 2)Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3)Put on
earphones and ignore him.
Situation Ⅳ
Q:If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just
wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?
A:This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated
birthday!”is short for:“Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered.
Forgive me and happy birthday.”
Situation Ⅴ
Q:Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to
respond(回复)to it?
A:Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why
waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve?“Yes,”you can say if北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
ever asked, “I saw it.”No explanation is needed as to why you don't
respond.
1.You will get annoyed in a theater when .

D.delayed
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Modern ways to mind your manners.
B.Different ways to change others' manners.
C.Proper manners to offer help to others.
D.Good manners to talk to people.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为社会生活类。主要介绍了在几种情况下人们的礼貌
做法。
1.D 细节理解题。根据Situation Ⅰ中的Chances are that the close sitter
doesn't realize he disturbs you,so he may miss your annoyance.可知“在电影
院里,当有人坐得离你太近的时候你可能会感到有点生气或恼火”。
2.B 细节理解题。由Situation Ⅲ中Stare at him until he gets aware of it and
quiets down.可知选B。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
3.D 猜测词义题。根据Situation IV语境中的“迟到的祝贺”,得知画线词
belated“迟来的”相当于delayed(延迟的)。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据全文对几种行为礼仪情况的建议,得知本文的主旨大意为A选项
——注意行为礼仪的现代方法。
[温馨提示] 1....nobody will fault you for it.……没有人会为此而指摘你。
fault vt.:to find a mistake or a weakness in sb./sth.发现错误,找出缺点。又如:
No one could fault his performance.他的表演无懈可击。
2.Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile.
举起你的手指示意不要出声并微笑。
Passage 12(2014辽宁,D)
Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty
employees(雇员)and profits(利润)of over$2 million per year.He's never late
to work.He does not get upset on the job.When one of his employees started
crying after a customer screamed at her,Travis took her away.“Your working
uniform is your shelter,”he told her.“Nothing anyone says will ever hurt
you.You will always be as strong as you want to be.”
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses,an
education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an
employee's occupation.The training has,Travis says,changed his life.G&G has
taught him how to live,how to focus,how to get to work on time,and how to
master his emotions(情绪).Most importantly,it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important
habit:willpower.Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most
important habit for a person's success.
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a
habit.“Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't
working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic,”Angela
Duckworth,one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said.“Their
willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to
train employees on self-control.Managers wrote workbooks that serve as
guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives.Those courses
are,in part,why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with
more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a
year.
1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must .
A.learn to give lectures
B.attend education programs
C.design a working uniform
D.develop a common hobby
2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can .
A.focus on the profits
B.benefit from the job
C.protect themselves well
D.control their feelings well
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.G&G has grown into a large company.
B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C.G&G may become more successful in the future.
D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事类。本文通过介绍Travis在公司接受培训
时所学到的东西来体现意志力对个人和公司发展的重要性。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Travis picked up that lecture in one of
his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day
and continues throughout an employee's occupation.”可知选择B项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句中的“...and how to master his
emotions(情绪)”和第四句“Most importantly,it taught him willpower.”以及第
四段第一句“And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
habit.”和最后一句“Their willpower occurs without them having to think
about it.”可知本题应选择D项。
3.C 推理判断题。A项不用推断,文章最后一段最后一句已明确阐述;最后一段第一句
提到公司花了很多钱来培训员工,但是无法从中推断出公司将会拿出利润的一半来培训
员工,故排除B项;最后一段第二句只阐述了经理们编写工作手册来指导员工,并不能推
断出公司还要为经理们制作更多的工作手册,故排除D项;最后一段每句话都展现出公
司对员工培训的重视,最后一句阐述了公司能够如此强大在某种程度上也跟培训员工的
课程有关,因此可以判断这家公司未来可能会更加成功,故选择C项。

Passage 14(2014江苏,A)
Never before had a Kitchen so much of a History北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
It tells of Freedom,Success,and of the Architecture of big American
cities.Because that is where it started:in the second half of the 19th
century!
Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design
Back then,a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new
style of Architecture to express their personal wealth.This dream was
realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.They
all had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.And they created a new
style for Architecture and Interior Design,named after the famous French
Art Institute:Beaux-Arts.
SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates
In fact it was not a new style at all,but a composition of styles from
different periods and cultures.Many world-famous structures such as the
Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it.But what
does that have to do with your kitchen?Just as much as you want it
to.Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then
took the freedom to combine elements from different historical
eras,today,you too can break the conventional rules of style and create
something new:your own personal composition of your kitchen.For
that,SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities:A broad range of
seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of
your own.You can choose from menu of various forms,appealing colors,and
precious materials,to create an environment that is much more than just a
kitchen:a reflection of your personality.
1.Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?
A.It helped display their money status.
B.It was created by famous architects.
C.It was named after a famous institute.
D.It represented the 19th century urban culture.
2.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
A.Its designs are anti-conventional.
B.Its designs come from famous structures.
C.Its customers can enjoy their own composition.
D.Its customers can choose from various new styles.

Passage 15(2014广东,A)
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall,England.He
never studied the piano.However,he can play very difficult musical pieces
by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears
them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks
about the notes in his head.Two years ago,he played his first piece
Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and
played it perfectly,his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his
ability is very rare,but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is
special.Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his
parents,but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now,he
studies law and music.
Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with
music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
years ago,I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,without being able
to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me—I hear
the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note,”says Samuel.
Recently,Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his
college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed
by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult
that many professional pianists can't play it.Samuel says
confidently,“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”
However,Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music.His
family says that even when he was a young boy,Samuel heard someone read a
story,and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager.He doesn't know what he wants to do in
the future.For now,he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue
his studies.

Passage 17(2014北京,B)
The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking
pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The
bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is
right behind us!”An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten
away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was
silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(迹象)of an animal that is going
in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved
abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the
bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and
the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting
its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the
bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a
brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left
arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it
into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to
break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five
or six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push
it away.I was actually wrestling(扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back towards the
forest,before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved
off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us
could hardly have been better.I'm proud that my family remained clear-
headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
1.The brown bear approached the family in order to .
A.catch shore birds
B.start an attack
C.protect the children
D.set up a barrier for itself
2.The bear finally went away after it .
A.felt safe
B.got injured
C.found some food
D.took away the camera
3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their .
A.pride
B.patience
C.calmness
D.cautiousness

tripod stuck across its mouth.它巨大的头部和我的胸部、肩部一样高,那个三脚架
挡住了它的嘴。

little chance of running faster than a brown bear.我被迫站在那头熊和我的家
人中间,因为我的家人比棕熊跑得快的可能性很小。
stand a chance(of doing sth.):有机会获得,有可能(成功)。又如:

Passage 18(2014安徽,B)
Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big,tough African elephants
running away,a new study says.Beehives(蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may
even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops.
In 2002,scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid
certain trees with bees living in them.Today,Lucy wants to see if African
honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.But before she asked
farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms,she
needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a
recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive,which burst into life.Lucy
and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed
down.Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve
in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance,Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees
while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the
elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17
groups,only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under
them.When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall(瀑布)instead of the angry
bees to many of the same elephant families,the animals were
undisturbed.Even after four minutes,most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the
sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasn't tested enough
groups yet to know,but her initial(最初的)results were promising enough to
begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields
to see if elephants are frightened away.
1.We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .
A.loud noises
B.some crops
C.video cameras
D.angry bees
2.As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .
A.works by herself in Africa
B.needs to test more elephant groups
C.has stopped elephants eating crops
D.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
3.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?

B.To make a video of elephants.
C.To see if elephants would run away.
D.To find out more about the behavior of bees.
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D.Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

Passage 19(2014安徽,C)
You are the collector in the gallery of your life.You collect.You might
not mean to but you do.One out of three people collects tangible(有形
的)things such as cats,photos and noisy toys.
These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The
Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which,over the next two
years,will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors.In doing
so,they will promote a popular culture of museums,not what museums normally
represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records,model houses.Others
are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from trees,for
example.But they all reveal(显露)a lot of things;ask someone what they
collect and their answers will tell you who they are.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Others on the way include“The Museum of Collectors”and “The Museum
of Me”.These new ones,it is hoped,will build on the success of “The
Museum Of”.The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people
collect,and what it means to do so.They hope that visitors who may not have
considered themselves collectors will begin to see they,too,collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at
important points:the beginning or end of adolescence—“it's a growing-up
thing;you stop when you grow up,”says one.Other painful times are
mentioned,such as the end of a relationship.For time and life can seem so
uncontrollable that a steady serial(顺序排列的)arrangement is comforting.
1.How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
A.By collecting more tangible things.
B.By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C.By correcting what museums normally represent.
D.By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
2.What can be learned about collectors from their collections?
A.Who they are.
B.How old they are.
C.Where they were born.
D.Why they might not mean to collect.
3.Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?
A.To help people sell their collections.
B.To encourage more people to collect.
C.To study the significance of collecting.
D.To find out why people visit museums.
4.According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they
.

Passage 20(2014重庆,A)
I was never very neat,while my roommate Kate was extremely
organized.Each of her objects had its place,but mine always hid
somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签)everything.I always looked for
everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my
dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got
tired of each other.
War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her
screaming,“Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!”Deafened,I saw my shoes
flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back
louder.
The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a
single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the
conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she
hung up,she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers,sobbing.Obviously,that was
something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden,a warm feeling of
sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed,cleaned
the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
even didn't notice Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her
expression one of disbelief.Then,she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I
looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me,“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn't always
agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in,cleaning up and
holding on.

Passage 21(2014四川,E)
Women are friendly.But men are more competitive.Why?Researchers have
found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素).Although known as
the love hormone,it affects the sexes differently.
“Women tend to be social in their behavior.They often share with
others.But men tend to be competitive.They are trying to improve their
social status,”said Professor Ryan.
Generally,people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our
body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it
during positive social interactions(互动)such as falling in love or giving
birth.
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is
also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the
ability to recognize competitive relationships,but in women it raises the
ability to recognize friendship.
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.
Half of the participants(参与者)received oxytocin.The other half
received placebo(安慰剂).北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
After a week,the two groups switched with participants.They went
through the same procedure with the other material.
Following each treatment,they were shown some video pictures with
different social interactions.Then they were asked to analyze the
relationships by answering some questions.The questions were about telling
friendship from competition.And their answers should be based on
gestures,body language and facial expressions.
The results indicated that,after treatment with oxytocin,men's ability
to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved,but in women it
was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded:“Our experiment proves that the hormone
oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different
social interactions.And the behavior differences between men and women are
caused by biological factors(因素)that are mainly hormonal.”
1.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?
A.Placebo.
B.Oxytocin.
C.The gesture.
D.The social status.
2.What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?
A.Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.
B.Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.
C.Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.
D.Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior
differences.
3.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?
A.To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social
interactions.
B.To know the differences between friendship and competition.
C.To know people's different abilities to answer questions.
D.To test people's understanding of body language.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.The author develops the text by .
A.explaining people's behaviors
B.describing his own experiences
C.distinguishing sexual differences
D.discussing research experiments

[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为科普知识类。文章通过Ryan教授的实验得知:荷尔
蒙催生素可以使人们更好地辨别不同社交互动的能力,男女行为的不同主要是由荷尔蒙
生理因素引起的。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话可知:虽然荷尔蒙催生素被认为是爱情荷尔蒙,
但是它对男女有不同的影响。所以答案是B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知:在先前的实验里Ryan教授发现,在消极的社交互动
中,比如妒忌,荷尔蒙也可以在我们身体里被释放。所以答案为C项(当我们对别人的成
功感到不高兴时,我们的身体也会释放荷尔蒙催生素)。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第五段可知:进一步的研究表明,荷尔蒙催生素可以提高男性认
识竞争关系的能力,但是它可以提升女性认识友谊的能力。通过这个研究结果可以推断
出来Ryan教授做这个实验的目的是检测荷尔蒙催生素对人们在认识社交互动能力方面
的影响,故选A项。
4.D 推理判断题。第一段中提到Researchers have found...,第四段提到先前实验的
发现,剩下文章详细介绍了最近实验的具体过程和结果,所以可以推断出作者是通过讨
论研究实验来写这篇文章的,故选D项。
[温馨提示] 1.Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone
oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素).研究者发现这都是荷尔蒙催生素造成的。
be down to sb./sth.:be caused by a particular person or thing由……引起(或
造成),又如:Tom's success is all down to him.汤姆的成功完全是他自己努力的结
果。

Passage 23(2014湖南,C)
The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its
design when it comes to energy use,according to new research from the UK
Energy Research Centre(UKERC).The UK promises to reduce its carbon
emissions(排放)by 80 percent by 2050,part of which will be achieved by all
new homes being zero-carbon by 2016.But this report shows that sustainable
building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to
achieve such reductions:the behaviour of the people using the building has
to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their
homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy
efficiency(效率),which instead focus on architectural and technological
developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do
everything,”explains Katy Janda,a UKERC senior researcher,“consumption
patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.”In other
words,old habits die hard,even in the best-designed eco-home.
Another part of the problem is information.Households and bill-payers
don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use
habits.Without specific information,it's hard to estimate the costs and
benefits of making different choices.Feedback(反馈)facilities,like smart
meters and energy monitors,could help bridge this information gap by
helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their
energy use;some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15
percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension(方面),suggesting
that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be
predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down
the thermostat(恒温器),for example.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Janda argues that education is the key.She calls for a focused
programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
1.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of
.
A.zero-carbon homes
B.the behaviour of building users
C.sustainable building design
D.the reduction of carbon emissions
2.The underlined word“which”in Paragraph 2 refers to“ ”.
A.the ways
B.their homes
C.developments
D.existing efforts
3.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?
A.The importance of changing building users' habits.
B.The necessity of making a careful building design.
C.The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D.The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
4.The information gap in energy use .
A.can be bridged by feedback facilities
B.affects the study on energy monitors
C.brings about problems for smart meters
D.will be caused by building users' old habits
5.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?
A.The social science research is to be furthered.
B.The education programme is under discussion.
C.The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.
D.The behaviour preference of building users is similar.

Passage 24(2014湖北,A)
Before I had my son,I spent two years working with children with
disabilities.I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result
in a disaster.Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job
harder and their behaviour more extreme.I found something that
worked,though.
There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was
generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of
him.One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine.His
appearance created an atmosphere of tension.He spent the entire session
running around,hitting and kicking,and destroying property.
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-
worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears,and could not get北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
control of the situation.As we were talking,the boy ran in.I told my co-
worker that I would take care of him.
I closed the door.He was full of energy,throwing things around and
making a huge mess.But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy
me.He needed connection,and this was the only way he knew how to ask for
it.So I sat back down and kept quiet.Then he slowed down and began making a
rocket.I talked to him about it.We continued like this for a few minutes
before I slipped into the conversation:
“So what happened today?”
It was purely a question,no blame or anger in my tone.I believe that if
I had criticized him,the gate that was slowly opening would have shut
firmly closed.He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew
well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked.He also admitted
that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game.I explained
that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset.This again
was stated simply as a fact.I suggested that next time he had a session,he
talk about what he hoped to do at the start,which might be easier for
everyone.He agreed and was quiet for a moment.Then he looked at me with
tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher
to apologize.
1.The boy made trouble for his teacher because he .
A.was blamed for creating an air of tension

Passage 25(2014湖北,B)
London's newest skyscraper(摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost
about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres,it is
the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the
appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for
the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When
he began designing the Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building
that looked like a spire(尖顶).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the
sky and the city.The sides of the building aren't regular.So the building
has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken
glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that
the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape
reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅
杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the
moment the building is empty,but eventually there will be a five-star
hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and offices.
Before building work began,a lot of people didn't want the Shard though
the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some
critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New
York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its
spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat
surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard
is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent.They say
that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich
people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the
hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the
very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not
certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a
valuable addition to the city.
1.London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of .
A.its size
B.its cost
C.its shape
D.its height
2.When he designed the Shard,Piano wanted it to .
A.change London's skyline
B.inherit London's tradition
C.imitate the Egyptian style
D.attract potential visitors
3.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard .
A.is only preferred by the rich
B.is far away from the poor area
C.is intended for wealthy people
D.is popular only with Londoners
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Shard:Cheers and Claps
B.The Shard:Work of a Great Architect
C.The Shard:New Symbol of London?
D.The Shard:A Change for the Better?

Passage 26(2014福建,B)
Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald
Duck and Mickey Mouse.However,he cannot take the credit for creating other
well-loved characters,such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost
automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓
言)into cartoon movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we
know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and
going to her tomb three times a day.In addition,there were only birds that
helped Cinderella;there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful
mice,nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel:they always threw Cinderella's food into the
ashes of the fire,and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor,hence(因
此)her name.
In the original story,the king's ball actually lasted for three
days.With the help of the birds,the girl,beautifully dressed,danced with
the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with
her.However,she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the
last night,the prince placed something sticky on the stairs;as Cinderella
made her escape,a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant:when the prince went to
the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe,the wicked(邪恶
的)stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit
into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
his bride.But,when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother,the birds
called out to the prince,
“Turn and peep,there's blood within the shoe;
The shoe is too small,the true bride waits for you.”
Realizing he had been tricked,the prince returned the daughter to her
mother;the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into
the shoe,with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so
the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day:as
Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her,pretending to be devoted to her
so that they could enjoy the king's riches,two birds flew by and
plucked(啄)out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they
had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank
goodness Disney made such changes;it indeed was a wise move.
1.What does the underlined word“They”in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Such wonderful things.
B.Other well-loved characters.
C.Old fables.
D.Cartoon movies.
2.How did Cinderella get her name?
A.The birds came up with it.
B.It was given by Disney.
C.It came from the word“ash”.
D.She got it from her mother.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?
A.Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.
B.The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.
C.Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.
D.The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.
4.The moral of the original story is that .
A.a wicked person cannot escape punishment北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.a devoted person certainly deserves respect
C.a well-behaved child earns a great reward
D.a dishonest child cannot get mother love
5.What does the author think of the Disney version?
A.Excellent. B.Ordinary.
C.Dull. D.Ridiculous.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为文学类,介绍了《灰姑娘》的由来。
1.B 猜测词义题。根据However,he cannot take the credit for creating other
well-loved characters...可以推断they指的是句中的other well-loved
characters其他备受喜爱的人物。故答案为B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知异母姐妹很残忍,总是把灰姑娘吃的东西扔到灰烬里
去,让她睡在满是灰烬的地板上,她因此而得名,所以答案为C项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句the birds called out to the prince...及
倒数第二段第一句Realizing he had been tricked...可知小鸟告诉王子他上当受骗
了。所以答案为D项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句可知,由于灰姑娘的两个异母姐妹邪恶、虚
伪,两只小鸟啄出她们的眼珠,使她们的余生在黑暗中度过。故答案为A项。
5.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Thank goodness Disney made such
changes;it indeed was a wise move.由此可以推断作者认为迪斯尼版本很好。
excellent出色的;ordinary普通的;dull枯燥的;ridiculous可笑的。故答案为A项。
[温馨提示] Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as
Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.人们相信像唐老鸭和米老鼠那样的精彩人物是Walt
Disney创作的。

BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRATION北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
“These patients deserve a chance at a normal,happy future and they rely on
the kindness of strangers to make that happen.”
—Daisy,Isabelle's Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei.In January 2008
Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder,beta
thalassemia.Isabelle's body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells.As
a result,Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血)every 4-6
weeks since she was 11 months old.A lifetime of regular transfusions can
lead to serious medical problems.Her only chance at a normal,healthy life
is to have a marrow transplant.Isabelle is an only child,so doctors have
started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match
Registry.The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like
Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life,the
gift of blood.

Passage 28(2014广东,D)北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents(洋
流).Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment.However,ocean
expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way—by studying movements of
random floating garbage.A scientist with many years' experience,he started
this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of
athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the
United States.There were so many shoes that people were setting up swa p
meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes—about 60,000 in
total—fell into the ocean in a shipping accident.He phoned the shoe
company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.As expected,the company
told him that they didn't.Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great
experiment.If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and
tracked where they landed,he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean
currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for
beachcombing(海滩搜寻)because winds and currents join here,and as a
result,there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.Ebbesmeyer got
to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information
about where the shoes landed.In a year he collected reliable information on
1,600 shoes.With this data,he and a colleague were able to test and improve
a computer program designed to model ocean currents,and publish the
findings of their study.
As the result of his work,Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist
to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the

Passage 30(2014重庆,C)
The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans
greatly.Sadly,biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing
without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much,and all our mass pushes
down through our relatively small feet,resulting in a lot of pressure that
makes us sink.
However,several types of animals can walk on water.One of the most
interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus,a lizard(蜥蜴)native
to Central and South America.It can run across water for a distance of
several meters,avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface
with its feet.The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep
moving forward.For humans to do this,we'd need huge feet that we could
bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting.”
But fortunately there is an alternative:cornflour.By adding enough of
this common thickening agent to water(and it does take a lot),you can
create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn't behave like normal
water.Now,if the surface of the water is hit hard enough,particles(粒子)in
the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard.Move quickly
enough and put enough force into each step,and you really can walk across
the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound,it's still rather messy and better read
about in theory than carried out in practice.If you must do it,then keep北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower
afterward!
1.Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans .
A.are not interested in it
B.have biological limitations
C.have not invented proper tools
D.are afraid to make an attempt
2.What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?
A.It is light enough to walk on water.
B.Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.
C.It can run across water at a certain speed.
D.Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.
3.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A.To create a thick liquid.
B.To turn the water into solid.
C.To help the liquid behave normally.
D.To enable the water to move rapidly.
4.What is the author's attitude toward the idea of humans' walking on
water?
A.It is risky but beneficial.
B.It is interesting and worth trying.
C.It is crazy and cannot become a reality.
D.It is impractical though theoretically possible.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为科普知识类。能在水上行走是人类一直以来感兴趣
的话题,虽然有方法能实现这一想法,但所有这些都只是理论上的,并不切合实际。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段的Sadly,biological facts prevent us...可知是人类
自身生理结构的限制阻止了我们在水上行走,所以答案为B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per
second to keep moving forward.可知这种蜥蜴是通过保持一定的前进速度确保自己
能在水上前行的,所以答案为C项。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话中的the surface of an adequately
thick liquid of cornflour可知,cornflour的作用就是创造出一种足够厚的液面让
我们能够在上面行走,所以答案为A项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述可知,这个听起来可能很有趣,但是要想付诸实
践还是不太实际,所以答案为D项。
[温馨提示] 1....and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small
feet,resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.我们全身的重量压在相
对很小的双脚上,结果产生了很大的压力,而压力使得我们下沉。
mass名词,物理范畴的“质量”。
2.For humans to do this,we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our
ears in order to create adequate “hitting.”让人类这样去做,我们需要有一双
巨大的脚来产生适当的力。这双脚大到我们把它们抬起来后可以到达我们的耳朵处。
3.thickening agent增稠剂
4.Fun though all this may sound,it's still rather messy and better read
about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep
the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower
afterward!尽管这一切听起来很有趣,但是它仍然很混乱,纸上谈兵要比实际实施起来
是好得多。如果你偏要做,要带上双翼式充气浮水袋以防下沉——然后再冲个澡!

Passage 33(2014浙江,A)
Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.Call it the
piggy bank strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time-honored coin-
savings container.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to
climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only
have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take
a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the
$15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy
bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest
rate after-tax,you will have your trip money.
When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if
I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks
with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular
with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and
wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year's
Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,yes,but you have to put
something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which
is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and
credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped
into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工)made these inexpensive containers from an
orange-colored clay(黏土)called “pygg”,and folks saved coins in pygg
jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”.While the Saxons
pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as “pug”,eventually the two words
changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the “i” as in pig or
piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with
the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a
pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a
sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the
wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about
the things in life that require large amounts of money—college
education,weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buying a home,and北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put
it aside,save and invest wisely.
1.What is the piggy bank strategy?
A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C.Aiming high even when doing small things.
D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
2.Why did the writer's parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
A.To delight him with the latest fashion.
B.To encourage him to climb mountains.
C.To help him form the habit of saving.
D.To teach him English pronunciation.
3.What does the underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3)most probably
refer to?
A.Money.
B.Gifts.
C.Financial success.
D.Good luck.
4.The piggy bank originally was .
A.a potter's instrument
B.a cheap clay container
C.an animal-shaped dish
D.a pig-like toy for children
5.The last paragraph talks about .
A.the seriousness of educating children
B.the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C.the importance of managing money
D.the difficulty of starting a business

Passage 34(2014浙江,B)
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave
in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly.They often stand close when talking
and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder.People often
greet each other(particularly women)with light cheek kisses.Schedules tend
to be flexible,with business meetings sometimes starting later than
planned.But to be safe,be on time.Meals can stretch for hours—there's no
such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.Lunches also can start in the mid to北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
late afternoon.Brazilians are social,preferring face-to-face communication
over emails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other
with a small,polite bow.Business cards should be offered and received with
two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on
time.Efficiency(效率)is the goal,so meetings and dealings often are fast-
paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is
about money.Rank is important and authority is respected.This determines
how people interact in meetings.For example,people avoid disagreeing
outright with someone of a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE,status is important,so the most senior or oldest should be
greeted first with their titles.The handshake seems to be longer than
elsewhere.So do not pull away from the handshake.Women should cover
themselves when it comes to dress.Men also tend to be covered from neck to
elbows(肘部)and down to the knees.People do not avoid entertaining in their
homes,but they also hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing
food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-
to-one,if your host offers you coffee,you should refuse.It might seem
odd,but it is a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is
already set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name.They
also are respectful of private lives.You should be careful not to ask about
personal topics.Punctuality(守时)is vital,something that comes from a deep
respect for others' time.Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early
to be safe.They also have clear structure in their companies.Higher-ups
make the final decisions,even if others might disagree.Neat,clean dress is
expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners.They also keep their hands北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
visible at the table and their elbows off the table.It is polite to finish
the food on your plate.
1.The passage is mainly about .
A.communication types
B.the workplace atmosphere
C.customs and social manners
D.living conditions and standards
2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A.They put efficiency in the first place.
B.They dislike face-to-face communication.
C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
3.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A.When greeting seniors.
B.When meeting the host alone.
C.When attending a presentation.
D.When dining with business partners.
4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the
dinner table?
A.In Brazil.
B.In Singapore.
C.In the United Arab Emirates.
D.In Switzerland.

Passage 1(2013课标全国Ⅰ,B)
The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital.She is quiet
but alert(警觉).Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a
white card with two black spots on it.She stares at it carefully.A
researcher removes the card and replaces it by another,this time with the
spots differently spaced.As the cards change from one to the other,her
gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus—until a third,with three black spots,is
presented.Her gaze returns:she looks at it for twice as long as she did at
the previous card.Can she tell that the number two is different from
three,just 24 hours after coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment,but with
three spots shown before two,shows the same return of interest when the
number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness?When slightly older
babies were shown cards with pictures of objects(a comb,a key,an orange and
so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing
the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as
opposed to three?No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving
randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
to two.The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly
shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats
than when they heard just two;likewise(同样地)when the researchers started
with drumbeats and moved to spots.
1.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's .
A.sense of hearing
B.sense of sight
C.sense of touch
D.sense of smell
2.Babies are sensitive to the change in .
A.the size of cards
B.the colour of pictures
C.the shape of patterns
D.the number of objects
3.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?
A.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.
B.To see how babies recognize sounds.
C.To carry their experiment further.
D.To keep the babies' interest.
4.Where does this text probably come from?
A.Science fiction.
B.Children's literature.
C.An advertisement.
D.A science report.

Passage 3(2013课标全国Ⅱ,B)北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an
Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance
and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second
World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard
Burton,Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony
orchestras(交响乐团).It became a fixed event every August and now attracts
400,000 people yearly.
At the same time,the “Fringe”appeared as a challenge to the official
festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief
that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public
house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later
from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were
making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre
by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of
Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival
with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of
the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups
performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971,and today there
are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150
during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by
over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25
million tickets were sold.
1.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A.To bring Europe together again.
B.To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
C.To introduce young theatre groups.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.To attract great artists from Europe.
2.Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A.They owned a public house there.
B.They came to take up a challenge.
C.They thought they were also famous.
D.They wanted to take part in the festival.
3.Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?
A.Popular writers.
B.University students.
C.Artists from around the world.
D.Performers of music and dance.
4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival .
A.has become a non-official event
B.has gone beyond an art festival
C.gives shows all year round
D.keeps growing rapidly

Passage 5(2013安徽,C)
When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to
help the Make-A-Wish Foundation(基金会),nobody understood what she was
talking about.But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be
because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for
one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more,so we went
along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that
started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity(慈善机构)that helps北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
children who have got very serious illnesses.Make-A-Wish helps children
feel happy even though they are sick,by making their wishes and dreams come
true,”Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started.She said it had all
begun with a very sick young boy called Chris,who had been dreaming for a
long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to
find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so,with everybody's
help,Chris,only seven years old at the time,had been a “policeman” for a
day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true,they
decided to try and help other sick children too,and that was the beginning
of Make-A-Wish,”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their
families a special,happy time.A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families
and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything
in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were
the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by
providing things that are necessary,or by raising money or helping out in
whatever way they can.
1.Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had .

C.They visit sick children to make them feel special.

答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文。题材为人物故事。讲述了一个19岁的女孩Sophia Giorgi
在别人不理解的情况下去Make-A-Wish基金会做志愿者的故事。我们通过和她交谈了解
到该基金会的成立和帮助人们实现梦想的行为。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话“...because this special organization
had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.”(……因
为这个特殊的组织曾经帮她一个好朋友实现了梦想。)可知,因为她的朋友曾受益于这个
组织,所以她对这个组织才有所了解。
2.A 细节理解题。第二段第一句话中worldwide(世界范围的)=international(国际
的)。故选A项。
3.B 细节理解题。第三段第一句话是本段的中心句,告诉我们这个基金会是怎么成立的。

4.A 细节理解题。最后一段最后两句话告诉我们:这个基金会的志愿者非常重要,因为

Passage 6(2013湖南,A)
Planning a visit to the UK?Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events,concerts and exhibitions can
increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A
standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the
Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.)cost ￡169.15 at Booking.com.A week
later,the same room cost ￡118.15.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're
looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as
Whatsonwhen.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date
and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by
train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could
end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your
holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two
months in advance,the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in
London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95.A room just a tube journey
away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room
cost just ￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as
London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and
during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering
flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top
floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill
Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for ￡420 for five days in late
September,with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes’have attracted the most
attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a
bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving you on public transport or car
parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle(casual
members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours)and Cardiff(free for up to 30
minutes,or ￡5 per day).
1.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may

B.attract lots of travelers to the UK
C.allow travelers to make flexible plans

2.“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably .
A.a hotel away from the train station
B.the tube line to Covent Garden
C.an ideal holiday destination
D.the name of a travel agency
3.The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat .
A.lies on the ground floor
B.is located in central London
C.provides cooking facilities for tourists
D.costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September
4.Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of .
A.half an hour
B.one hour
C.one hour and a half
D.two hours
5.The main purpose of the passage is .
A.to tell visitors how to book in advance
B.to supply visitors with hotel information
C.to show visitors the importance of self-help
D.to offer visitors some money-saving tips

Passage 7(2013湖南,C)
It's such a happy-looking library,painted yellow,decorated with palm-
tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the
size of a microwave oven,it's pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book
lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates,along the northern
boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report
about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that
aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood
by making books freely available,she announced to her family of
four,“That's what we're going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn't see the point of building a library
that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted,and husband Peter unwillingly
got to work.The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small
wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy
horses,and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches(装点),the family hung a
signboard on the front,instructing users to“take a book,return a
book,”and making the Henriksen library,now one of several hundred like it
nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world,the only Little Free
Library in Palm Beach County.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read,a mix of
science fiction,reference titles,novels and kids' favorites.“I told
them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,”said Janey,a stay-at-
home mom.
Since then,the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself,thanks to
ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five
visits a day.
The project's best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left
behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
1.In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?
A.It owns a yellow roof.
B.It stands near a sidewalk.
C.It protects book lovers from the sun.
D.It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
2.Janey got the idea to build a library from .
A.a visit to Brian Williams
B.a spring break with her family
C.a book sent by one of her neighbors
D.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
3.The library was built .
A.by a ship supply company
B.on the basis of toy horses
C.like a mailbox
D.with glass
4.What can we infer about the signboard?
A.It was made by a user of the library.
B.It marked a final touch to the library.
C.It aimed at making the library last long.
D.It indicated the library was a family property.
5.The passage tells us that the users .
A.donate books to the library北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.get paid to collect books for the library
C.receive thank-you notes for using the library
D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily

Passage 9(2013江西,A)
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness,but it could not
prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp(沼泽地)creeping into their bones.It
was a strange place.Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's
dare.They liked camping,but not near this swamp.
“So,”Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this
place get its name?”
“Are you sure you want to hear it?It's a scary story,”warned Jack.
“Of course!”cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared
of,you wouldn't have chosen this place!”
“OK,but don't say I didn't warn you,”said Jack,and he began his tale.
“Way back in time,a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He
built that cottage over there to live in.In those days,the area looked
quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a
crystal-clear river.After three hard years,Dennis had cleared several
fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to
listen to advice.”
“‘You are clearing too much land,’warned one old man.‘The land is a
living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
“‘Silly fool,'said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land,I can
grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them
for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that
he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not
notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice swamp
plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened?”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He
trembled,twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned,”Jack
shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp

Passage 10(2013辽宁,A)
China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I
traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a
bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in
Beijing last year,I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of
cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it's北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in
different colors—silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through
crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行
道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't
provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a
bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on
my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a
“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of
nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing
a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so
crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air
hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on
top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel
alive.
1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.

D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.

A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A.It was boring.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.

Passage 11(2013山东,B)
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers.
He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next
twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed
in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of
entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained
popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every
possible way—from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.
Could jazz, some people asked,be considered serious music?In 1924 jazz
musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose
something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do
it .And in that short time,he composed a piece for piano and orchestra
which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the
concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him
world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928,Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition(作曲)
with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger,but she rejected him.She was
afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style.While
there,Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first
performed,critics(评论家) were divided over the music.Some called it happy
and full of life,to others it was silly and boring.But it quickly became
popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most
famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937,just days after doctors learned he had
brain cancer.He was only thirty-nine years old.Newspapers all over the
world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of
the man and all the music he might have still written.
1.Many of Gershwin's musical works were .

Passage 13(2013陕西,B)
In 1978,I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270
km away from Sydney,Australia.I was looking forward to having five days off
from duty.Unfortunately,the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney
had already left.So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车).北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped
for me.Finally,a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon.He said
that although he couldn't give me a lift,I should come back to his house
for lunch.He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought
I must be hungry.I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使……放心)me
I was safe,and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards.When
we arrived at his house,he made us sandwiches.After lunch,he helped me find
a lift home.
Twenty-five years later,in 2003,while I was driving to a nearby town
one day,I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat,trying to hitch a
ride.I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd
been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up.I made him
comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk,the man said to me,“You haven't
changed a bit,even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn't remember where I'd met him.He then told me he was the man
who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago.It was
Gordon.

Passage 14(2013陕西,C)
According to sociologists(社会学家),every modern industrial society has
some form of social stratification(阶层).Class,power and status are
important in deciding people's rank in society.
Class means a person's economic position in society.A commonly used
classification is lower class,middle class and upper class.While
sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined,they do
describe societies like the United States quite well.One study shows that北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
53% of Americans belong to the lower class,46% the middle class,and 1% the
upper class.Interestingly,a surgeon earning $500,000 a year and a bus
driver earning $50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!
Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other
people.Obviously,people in positions of great power(such as
governors)exercise(行使)big power,but people who take orders from others
have less power.Power and class do not always go hand in hand,however.For
example,the governor of a state has great power,but he or she may not
belong to a corresponding(相应的)economic class.Generally,however,there is
a relationship between power and class.To our knowledge,there aren't too
many people who aren't millionaires in the U.S.Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's position in
society.It can also be affected by power and class,but not necessarily
so.For example,a university professor may have a high status but not belong
to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.
1.What can we learn about“the middle class”from Paragraph 2?
A.People earning $50,000 a year belong to the middle class.
B.Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.
C.People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.
D.Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.
2.According to the text, we know that .
A.power and class do not always correspond with each other
B.status refers to a person's economic position in society
C.people with high status have a lot of control over others
D.class is less important in deciding a person's social rank
3.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
(P:Paragraph)
答案北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,属于社会生活类。根据社会学家的观点,现代社会分为不同
的社会阶层。阶级、权力和地位决定人们在社会生活中的等级。
1.B 细节理解题。由第二段中的One study shows that 53% of Americans belong
to the lower class,46% the middle class...可知答案。
2.A 细节理解题。由第三段中的Power and class do not always go hand in hand
可知答案。
3.A 推理判断题。本文第一段综述观点,继而第二、三、四段从三个不同的方面分别论述
每一项内容,其逻辑结构是总——分的形式,故选A。
长难句 While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly
defined,they do describe societies like the United States quite well.尽管社
会学家对这些术语的精确定义存在争议,但它们确实把像美国这样的国家的社会阶层描
述得相当好。
本句是复合句。while引导让步状语从句;how these terms should be exactly
defined是宾语从句;主句中的do表示强调。

Passage 16(2013四川,B)
On a sunny day last August,Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the
sea carefully,he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to
sea.
Two 12-year-old boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for
a football.Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied
to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair
panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and
the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,”Tim recalls(回忆).“I was trying
to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or
so,he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point,I considered
turning back,”he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at
risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the
boys,“Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able
to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing,but the waves
were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(码头),”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward
it.Soon afterward,waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink.“Can
you guys swim?”he cried.“A little bit,”the boys said.
Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster
for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing
life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water
washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again.“Yes,”Tim told
them each time.
After 30 minutes,they reached the pier.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

Passage 17(2013四川,C)北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold
fake(假冒的)bomb detectors(探测器)to 10 years in prison,saying the man
hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the
sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to
countries including Iraq,Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick,57,was convicted(判罪)of cheats last month and sentenced
Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment
simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all
probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent
people,”Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret,nor
shame,nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors,sold for up to $42,000 each,were said to be able to find
such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air.But in fact
they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police
in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong,the army in Egypt and the border
control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,”he said.
1.Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A.He sold bombs.
B.He caused death of people.
C.He made detectors.
D.He cheated in business.
2.According to the judge, what McCormick had done .
A.increased the cost of safeguarding
B.lowered people's guard against danger
C.changed people's idea of social security
D.caused innocent people to commit crimes
3.Which of the following is true of the detectors?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
A.They have not been sold to Africa.
B.They have caused many serious problems.
C.They can find dangerous objects in water.
D.They don't function on the basis of science.
4.It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick .
A.sold the equipment at a low price
B.was well-known in most countries
C.did not think he had committed the crime
D.had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为应用文。本文报道了一个人因出售假炸弹探测器而受到法律制裁的
新闻。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知McCormick被宣判入狱是因为出售假炸弹探测
器,故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段Your cheating conduct in selling a great
amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense
of security可知McCormick的所作所为降低了人们对危险的防范,故B正确。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中But in fact they “lacked any
grounding in science” and were of no use可知D项正确,这种假探测器没有科学
依据,是没有用的。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句I never had any bad results from customers
可以推断出他认为自己没有犯罪,故选C。

Passage 19(2013天津,B)
Last night's meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community
dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild,Emerald
Valley's mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city,carrying heavy
telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through
the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's
lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.
“My family was so frustrated,”admitted town resident Duane Cosby.“We
wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing,but it turned out to be
a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been
complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution
prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite
easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures
to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star
observers that suffers even more from light pollution.This population
consists of birds,bats,frogs,snakes,etc.For example,outdoor lighting
severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International
Dark-Sky Association,“100 million birds a year throughout North America
die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animal casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial
lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but
some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too.They worry that
exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting
cancer.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the
negative effects of light pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has
enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at
the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide,and a
movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using
them,so that other creatures can share the night.
1.It happened last night that .
A.the city's lights affected the meteor watching
B.the meteors flew past before being noticed
C.the city light show attracted many people
D.the meteor watching ended up a social outing
2.What do the astronomers complain about?
A.Meteor showers occur less often than before.
B.Their observation equipment is in poor repair.
C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.
D.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.
3.What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A.Birds may take other migration paths.
B.Animals' living habits may change suddenly.
C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.
D.Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.
4.Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to .
A.lessen the chance of getting cancer
B.create an ideal observation condition
C.ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D.enable all creatures to live in harmony
5.What message does the author most want to give us?
A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
B.Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C.Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
D.New equipment should be introduced for space study.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

Passage 20(2013浙江,A)
No one knows for sure when advertising first started.It is possible
that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of
work better than others did them.That led to the concept of
specialization,which means that people would specialize,or focus,on doing
one specific job.
Let's take a man we'll call Mr.Fielder,for example.He did everything
connected with farming.He planted seeds,tended the fields,and harvested and
sold his crops.At the same time,he did many other jobs on the
farm.However,he didn't make the bricks for his house,cut his trees into
boards,make the plows(犁),or any of the other hundreds of things a farm
needs.Instead,he got them from people who specialized in doing each of
those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr.Plowright.Using what he
knew about farming and working with iron,Mr.Plowright invented a plow that
made farming easier.Mr.Plowright did not really like farming himself and北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
wanted to specialize in making really good plows.Perhaps,he thought,other
farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr.Plowright let people know what he was doing?Why,he
advertised,of course.First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign
outside the shop to attract customers.That sign may have been no more than
a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop
door.It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr.Plowright
and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about
five thousand years ago.Even before most people could read,they understood
such signs.Shopkeepers would carve into stone,clay,or wood symbols for the
products they had for sale.
A medium,in advertising talk,is the way you communicate your
message.You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs
with symbols.The second medium was audio,or sound,although that term is not
used exactly in the way we use it today.Originally,just the human voice and
maybe some kind of simple instrument,such as a bell,were used to get
people's attention.
A crier,in the historical sense,is not someone who weeps easily.It is
someone,probably a man,with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other
noises of a city.In ancient Egypt,shopkeepers might hire such a person to
spread the news about their products.Often this earliest form of
advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods.Perhaps the
crier described the goods,explained where they came from,and praised their
quality.His job was,in other words,not too different from a TV or radio
commercial in today's world.
1.What probably led to the start of advertising?
A.The discovery of iron.
B.The specialization of labor.
C.The appearance of new jobs.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.The development of farming techniques.
2.To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright .
A.praised his plows in public
B.placed a sign outside the shop
C.hung an arrow pointing to the shop
D.showed his products to the customers
3.The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in
order to .
A.explain the origin of advertising
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising
D.provide suggestions for advertising
4.In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who .
A.owned a ship
B.had the loudest voice
C.ran a shop selling goods to farmers
D.functioned like today's TV or radio commercial
5.The last two paragraphs are mainly about .
A.the history of advertising
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising
D.the basic design of advertising

Passage 21(2013浙江,B)
Below is a selection from a popular science book.
If blood is red, why are veins(静脉)blue?
Actually,veins are not blue at all.They are more of a clear,yellowish
colour.Although blood looks red when it's outside the body,when it's
sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin,it's more of a dark reddish
purple colour.At the right depth,these blood-filled veins reflect less red
light than the surrounding skin,making them look blue by comparison.
Which works harder,your heart or your brain?
That kind of depends on whether you're busy thinking or busy
exercising.Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise,and
shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.But,in the long
run,your brain probably tips it,because even when you're sitting still your
brain is using twice as much energy as your heart,and it takes four to five
times as much blood to feed it.
Why do teeth fall out,and why don't they grow back in grown-ups?
Baby(or“milk”)teeth do not last long;they fall out to make room for
bigger,stronger adult teeth later on.Adult teeth fall out when they become
damaged,decayed and infected by bacteria.Once this second set of teeth has
grown in,you're done.When they're gone,they're gone.This is because nature
figures you're set for life,and what controls regrowth of your teeth
switches off.
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and no.Many people do get shorter as they age.But,when they do,it isn't
because they're shrinking all over.They simply lose height as their
spine(脊柱)becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
gravity(重力).Many(but not all)men and women do lose height as they get
older.Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age,while women may
lose 5 cm or more.If you live to be 200 years old,would you keep shrinking
till you were,like 60 cm tall,like a little boy again?No,because old people
don't really shrink!It is not that they are growing backwards—their
legs,arms and backbones getting shorter.When they do get shorter,it's
because the spine has shortened a little.Or,more often,become more bent and
curved.
Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?
Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're
feeling.The brain senses that you're spinning using special gravity-and-
motion-sensing organs in your inner ear,which work together with your eyes
to keep your vision and balance stable.But when you suddenly stop spinning
the system goes out of control,and your brain thinks you're moving while
you're not!
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system.All
mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs,cats,and humans.So all
mammals feel basic emotions like fear,pain and pleasure.But since human
feelings also involve other,newer bits of the brain,we feel more complex
emotions than any other animal on the planet.
If exercise wears you out,how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.And as far as your
body is concerned,it's “use it,or lose it”!It's not that exercise makes
you healthy;it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and
easily affected by disease.
1.What is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?
A.Blue.
B.Light yellow.
C.Red.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.Dark reddish purple.
2.Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?
A.Because their spine is in active use.
B.Because they are more easily affected by gravity.
C.Because they keep growing backwards.
D.Because their spine becomes more bent.
3.Which of the following statements about our brain is true?
A.In the long run,our brain probably works harder than our heart.
B.When our brain senses the spinning,we will feel dizzy.
C.The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.
D.Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.
