And he did this day in and day out, 45 hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him 46 about it. To him we were ―worth‖ it. And never once did he ―charge‖ us for it.

When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 47 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said ―Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my48.

第二部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Y ou can tell a lot about a person from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about a person simply from the handbags they carry. It's hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a woman's personality just by looking at the type of handbag she carries. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbag says about the owner.

Styles:

Under-the Shoulder–handbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A women working in an upscale office or someone of high status would choose this form of handbag.

Big and Bulky–Big, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals. These are used for individuals who carry a number of things (binders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag.

Designer–Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse. Guys watch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful.

Cigar Box Purses– A women who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do. They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent.

Leather with Buckles and Zippers– women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckles and zippers tend to signify a "bad girl" image.

Colors:

Bright Colors– Bright colored handbags like pink, purple, bright blue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly and approachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend to choose these colors. This is the type of woman who will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger.

Black and Brown– women who choose black or brown handbags tend to be more formal in manners and are often mistaken as being snobby or restricted. These types of handbags are often associated with down-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while. They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she's better than others.

The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you. Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style. Y ou may feel like being reserved one day and the center of attention another…it's natural to want different things in life.

51. Who is likely to start a conversation with a complete stranger according to the passage?

A. A woman with her handbag carried under the shoulder.

B. A woman carrying an oversized handbag.

C. A woman carrying a bright colored handbag.

D. A woman who chooses a black or brown handbag.

52. Women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers probably ______.

A. make careful decisions

B. enjoy having fun

C. act in bad manners

D. become bad girls

53. A woman who carries a cigar box purse likes to ______.

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.

Y oga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar facilities in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Y oga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.

Y oga becomes part of your physical life. Y our body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. ―Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,‖ says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Y oga. ―Because yoga helps maintain a balanced meta bolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.‖ I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.

Y oga becomes part of your mental life. Y oga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. Y ou should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time ―fighting‖ yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you ―surrender‖ to the pose by letting go of the tension.

Y oga becomes part of your spiritual life. Y oga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to

any religious grou p. Y oga teaches ―right‖ living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Y oga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.

54. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. What’s Y oga?

B. How I Do Y oga Poses

C. The Benefits of Y oga

D. The V arieties of Y oga

55. According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________.

A. grow taller

B. lose weight

C. become flexible in thinking

D. make more friends

56. People feel tired after yoga because __________.

A. they consume energy in practicing yoga

B. they respond well to yoga poses

C. they spend too much time on yoga

D. they force themselves into yoga poses

57. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?

A. Y oga as a means to keep fit.

B. Who may like yoga

C. Popularity of yoga all over the world.

D. Encouraging people to do yoga.

Y our name made you do it, though unconsciously, suggests new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less. Psychologists at Y ale and the University of California, San Diego studying the unconscious influence of names say a preference for our own names and initials —the ―name-letter effect‖ — can have some negative consequences.

Students whose names begin with C or D get lower grades than those whose names begin with A or B; major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K (the strikeout-signifying letter) are significantly more likely to strike out.

Assistant professors Leif Nelson of UCSD and Joseph Simmons of Y ale have conducted five studies over five years using information from thousands of individuals.

―The conscious process is baseball players want to get a hit and students want to get A's,‖ Nelson says. ―So if you get a change in performance consistent with the name-letter effect, it clearly shows there must be some unconscious d esire operating in the other direction.‖

The researchers' work supports a series of studies published since 2002 that have found the ―name-letter effect‖ causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble their own. Those studies by Brett Pelh am, an associate professor at SUNY University, have found that people are disproportionately（不定比例地）likely to live in states or cities resembling their names, have careers that resemble their names and even marry those whose surnames begin with the same letter as their own.

The twist, Pelham says, is that he has believed the name-letter effect would apply only to positive outcomes. Nelson and Simmons, he says, are ―showing it applies more so to negative things than positive things.‖ The researchers say the effect is definitely more than coincidence but is small nevertheless. ―I know plenty of Chrises and Davids who have done very well in school,‖ Simmons says.

58．The new research is mainly about the relationship between one’s ______.

A．name and unconsciousness B．name and characteristics

C．name and success D．sports and school achievements

59．Who may serve as an example to show the ―name-letter effect‖?

A．Miss Smith working as a lawyer. B．Charles Brown married to Sue Rogers.

C．Mr. Watt living in Washington D．Paula Snow fond of the color white.

60．Which can be used to explain the underlined word ―twist‖ in the last but one paragraph?

A．Difference．B．Conclusion．C．Funny side．D．Shared part．

61．The last paragraph mainly tells us that the ―name-lette r effect‖ ______.

A．isn’t believed in by many people B．doesn’t work with certain names

C．may not really exist D．is often too small to show

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were ―unloved, unwanted and misunders tood.‖ Jealousy is sometimes known as the ―green –eyed monster‖ and the UK is its home.

Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.

This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.

―It is not really success that the British dislike,‖ says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Instit ute of Science and Technology. ―It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.‖

Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.

62．Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that .

A．the British people hate success

B．the British people are hardworking

C．love of success is Britain’s national character

D．they are considered as ―green –eyed monsters‖

63．What does the result of th e Warwich University’s test show.

A．Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money.

B．Most people would rather fail than see others succeed.

C．An imaginary amount of money does not attract people.

D．Most people are willing to enjoy success with others.

64．The writer of the passage seems to suggest that .

A．jealousy is Britain’s national character

B．British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated

C．the scientists at Warwich University did a successful test

D．the entrepreneurs in the UK do not behave properly

65．The best title for this article can be .

A．Be More Modest and We Will Love Y ou More

B．Proud Entrepreneurs

C．The Frenchmen are Romantic While The British are Hostile

D．Only Pains but No Gains

Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dorm. Instead, they rent houses outside the school.

There are advantages for both. Living in a dorm can increase friendship and cooperation between classmates. And of course it is safer. A dorm is more like a society, which enables students to learn to adopt to each other, thus

preparing for the social life in the future.

As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for study ,as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have more time and devote yourself to studying. But there may appear s ome safety problems as you live outside of the school.

Anyhow, as a student, I prefer living in a dorm.

Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in Japan This village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore. Eze in France France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse. Bibury in England

高三英语考试题

高二英语阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse. Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart. This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honour. 1．Halley made his discovery________． A．by doing experiments B．by means of his own careful observation C．by using the work of other scientists D．by chance 2．Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year________． A．1704B．1705C．1706D．1707 3．This text in general is about________． A．Halley and other scientists B．the orbit of a comet C．Newton and Halley D．Halley and his discovery 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist. B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiment. C．Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician. D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a round. 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 farmer’s 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 farmer 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 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. 5. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of . A. loud noises B. some crops C. video cameras D. angry bees 6. 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 7. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive? A. To record the sound of bees. 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. 8. 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.

2017-2018学年度上学期高三英语试题本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，卷面分数120分。考试用时100分钟。第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A I have had all kinds of interesting neighbors since the early days of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”. The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over. Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother. The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home. Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors. 21. We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ___________. A. a small child B. an interesting toy C. a dog D. a bicycle 22. From the passage we can know that the author___________. A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style most B. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' family C. was described as interesting when playing with boys D. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author often moved to other places. B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others. C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking. D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors. B Below are four ads on the website.Artful Experience It’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged.
