阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

It was my first day back home since starting college. A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult; I had a driver?s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I?m thirsty. Let?s go for a beer.” It was the first time I?d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.

He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer? Well I guess you?re old enough now. Let?s go to Sailors? Bar. It?s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”

I had only some vague recollection of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family --- always in trouble. We didn?t talk about him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven?t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.

“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said mournfully. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition he returned home.

My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn?t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn?t resist. He was at Sailors? Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.

“What r uined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it?ll end. …So?, Tom warned me, …beware of your first drink!?

“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”

Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors?Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let?s go in,” he said. But I understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I?m not thirsty anymore, Dad. Let?s go home.”

26. Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?

A. Because he was thirsty.

B. Because he missed his father.

C. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.

D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom.

27. What was the main source of Uncle Tom?s problems?

A. His overly-strict family.

B. His addiction to card games.

C. The deaths of his mother and wife.

D. His inability to control his drinking.

28. Where is Uncle Tom now?

A. In a bar.

B. In prison.

C. In the city.

D. In his hometown.

29. In the story, the father told his son about Tom in order to ________.

A. warn the son to keep away from Tom

B. entertain the son while they walked to the bar

C. recall an interesting period in the father?s life

D. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking

Are you smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people?s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.

IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?

Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of

test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.

Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.

According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

31. According to the passage, the “Flynn effect” is ________.

A. a method used to measure intelligence

B. an increase in IQ test scores over time

C. the influence of technology on intelligence

D. a theory that connects intelligence to experience

32. What is the function of the third paragraph?

A. To list the findings of Professor Flynn?s research.

B. To provide possible explanations that disprove Flynn?s ideas.

C. To outline different theories explaining the increase in IQ scores.

D. To describe how research was carried out in the measuring of intelligence.

33. According to the passage, newer educational techniques include _________.

A. exposing children to fewer tests

B. giving children clearer teaching instructions

C. getting children to memorize lots of information

D. encouraging children to find out things themselves

34. The writer believes that computer games _________.

A. have discouraged people from taking exercise

B.have made young people become less intelligent

C. have helped improve people?s visual intelligence

D. have caused young people to have poorer vocabularies

35. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?

A. People today are taking easier tests.

B. People today have fewer problems to solve.

C. Not all aspects of intelligence have increased.

D. The language ability of people has improved.

C

Over the last 30 years, Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into the rich, concrete, high-rise city that it is today. The sprawling metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand?s economic wealth.

As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and businesspeople from different sectors, including tourism, automobiles and electronics. The city?s population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands each of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese (缅甸人) who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais.

For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city?s food is a key attraction, says one US manager, before listing many of his favourite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants. Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London.

Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok?s other attractions, too.For overseas businesspeople who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort, the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls. Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chatuchak Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the shrewd bargainer.

When the time comes to talk business many overseas businesspeople prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course. Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the bustle of city life. But most businesspeople go to the golf course because it?s the perfect place to discuss the next big deal.

Because of the fast-paced life some foreign businesspeople see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term, rather than a lifetime. Australian computer software designer Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working fulltime in her Bangkok office. She says the city is “definitely a place I want to stay for the next five, ten years.” Nannies and home help are affordable, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age.

36. According to the first two paragraphs, we know that ________.

A. Bangkok has always been a rich Thai city

B. Bangkok offers many working opportunities for people

C. most foreigners coming to Bangkok are tourists

D. Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais

37. The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. unwanted

B. forgotten

C. appreciated

D. rewarded

38. What is the main attraction of golf for foreigners according to the passage?

A. It is a good place in which to discuss business matters.

B. It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise.

C. It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city.

D. It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting.

39. Sarah Huang says she?ll eventually leave Bangkok because ________.

A. she is going to have a baby

B. her working hours are too long

C. the cost of a good education there is too high

D. it?s not easy to find suitable home help there

40. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign businesspeople

B. promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the city

C. explain the reasons for Bangkok?s rapid economic growth over the past 30 years

D. compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign businesspeople in Bangkok

D

Characters in novels don?t always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble, take on lives of their own, or even work against the writer. It?s not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children?s novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he?d finished his first version, he threw it away an d started again.

Of course it?s not the characters? fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King said. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.”

This is also true for characters? ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It?s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.”

For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there?s one quality that can stop a character in i ts tracks: boredom. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,” she says. “She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. You can

write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don?t think you can write a book about a character who bores you.”

According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I think I struggled because it?s difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath?s is, without making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arg uing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”.

“That is a fantastic thing to happen,” Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.”

41. What can we infer about Steven King?s book Carrie?

A. It was his most difficult book to write.

B. It was the first successful novel King wrote.

C. There were few children featured in the story.

D. Some of its main characters were working class.

42. Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?

A. She disagreed with the character?s attitudes.

B. The age difference between the two was too large.

C. She found the character very uninteresting.

D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult.

43. Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ________.

A. are a sign that the story is not realistic

B. are often the most interesting

C. should be praised by all authors

D. need to be researched more thoroughly

44. The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably _________.

A. famous and successful

B. unknown to the readers

C. all from the same country

D. just starting their writing careers

45. In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage?

A. Careers.

B. Culture.

C. Advice column.

D. Lifestyle.

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

During an official visit to the Maldives on September 15th, President Xi Jinping stated that Chinese tourists should be better behaved when travelling abroad.

“Our citizens should be educated to behave in a civilized way when travel ling abroad. Do not throw water bottles everywhere. Do not damage coral reefs. Eat more sea food and less instant noodles. Spend more to help local economies grow,” X i said to great laughter and applause from the audience.

Chinese tourism abroad has grown rapidly. It is reported that 100 million citizens travelled abroad last year, and that number is expected to double by 2020 as individual wealth grows along with the economy.

Yet the awareness of proper manners has not grown as fast as the number of tourists. Some Chinese tourists have been heavily criticized in recent years for misbehaving while travelling abroad, for reasons such as being noisy, jumping queues and damaging cultural relics. Recently, incidents like Chinese tourists drawing graffiti (涂鸦) in an ancient Egyptian temple have severely damaged the image of Chinese holidaymakers.

In response, the Chinese government has made great efforts to educate Chinese tourists on appropriate behavior when travelling both abroad and within China.

基础写作：

One possible version:

A “selfie” is a photo taken of oneself, usually with a cell phone, and shared online. The word was first used in 2002 by an Australian who posted his self-taken picture on a web forum accompanied by the caption “self ie”. Since then, the popularity of the word itself and the act it describes have exploded world wide and in 2013 “selfie” was named "word of the year" by the Oxford Dictionary. Supporters believe that the taking and posting of selfies reflects the human need to connect and communicate with others. However, critics argue that selfies are nothing more than reflection of people’s increasing self-absorption and vanity, which value outer appearance over inner character.

读写任务：

Possible version 1:

The growth in overseas Chinese tourism has been matched by examples of bad behavior by some tourists while abroad. Consequently, the government is taking action to improve travellers? behavior and ensure China projects a positive image to the outside world.

The media is full of examples of people behaving badly when travelling abroad. Unfortunately a small but very visible minority of tourists frequently ignore local traditions and act in loud, overbearing and ill-mannered ways.

Such behavior causes damage on different levels. It hurts the feelings of local people and creates ill-will among them. In extreme cases, poor behavior by tourist may even damage important cultural monuments, reducing the world?s cultural heritage. Finally bad behavior injures the reputation of the t ourist?s own country in the minds of others.

For these reasons it is essential that tourist behave appropriately when overseas. They should respect the law and customs of the places they visit, be friendly and fair to local people and develop a better understanding of the local culture.

Possible version 2:

President Xi advocated tourists to be civilized overseas. With the rapid development of China?s tourism, Chinese tourists have received criticisms for behaving badly while travelling abroad. Therefore, the government has taken measures to control tourists? improper manners.

It is not uncommon to find tourists misbehaving everywhere. They speak loudly in public, carve characters on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red, or spit anywhere.

Undoubtedly, such uncivilized behavior exerts unfavorable consequences. For one thing, it

causes damage to scenic spots or cultural relics that are of great value. For another, improper manners may be a source of anger, possibly leading to quarrels or fights.

Therefore, it is urgent that we take measures to travel in a civilized way. To begin with, emphasis should be placed on educating citizens and improving their civilized quality. Moreover, the government is obliged to work out relevant rules and regulations to punish those who behave badly. In conclusion, spiritual civilization should go hand in hand with material civilization, thus civilized tourism should be advocated.

2015年高考英语全国卷I卷试题与答案

(2015年高考英语全国卷I卷试题与答案) (二轮复习接近尾声，如何缓解备考压力?) 1、自我暗示。 人生总是有起有落的，考试也是一样。由于各种原因，并不是每个人都能在考场中充分发挥出自己的真实水平，榜上无名，脚下有路。历史上有很多杰出人才没有受过高等教育，但照样做出了杰出的贡献。所以作为考生不必过度夸大考试尤其是中、高考的决定性，你越是担心考试结果，往往越不容易考出好成绩。学生以理性的态度去看待考试，心情自然就会放松，压力也会随之减少。 2、饮食调节。 很多父母担心孩子考试紧张压力大，怕孩子营养不良，所以在高考前会给孩子大量进补或者供给丰富的营养餐，一些父母甚至买保健品给孩子吃，其实这些没必要。备考期间，不能大吃大喝，只要按照平时的饮食习惯就可以，适当多吃些水果和蔬菜，补充维生素，有益于大脑的思考。高考期间，食物以清淡为主，炎热的时候可以加点苦瓜降降内火。 3、师生之间交流。 在几年的学生生涯中，每个同学都有自己信任和崇拜的老师，如果发动这些老师做学生的思想工作，效果将非常理想。 4、学生之间相互鼓励。 高三学生在考试期间最需要交流，也最需要宣泄。同龄人在一起时，哪怕是发发牢骚，也可以释放一下压力。在紧张备考时，你可以将内心的苦闷、不满向朋友倾诉，听听朋友的意见，同时也要多关心同学，听听他们的倾诉。人在最艰难的时候，如果有人不断地给予自己肯定和鼓励，那真是人生的一大幸事。 5、环境调节。 在紧张的复习后，如果有条件，可以到空旷的地方远眺一会儿，呼吸新鲜空气，这样可调节心情，放松大脑，更有益于学习。每天起床，打开窗户，往远处看。所谓站得高，望得远，你可以在阳台放一凳子垫脚，看看跟平时的视野有什么不同。让自己有意外的视觉收获，增强高考信心。 6、短时间放松。 虽然学习很紧张，但像讲笑话，听相声，听轻音乐，进行体育锻炼或与人交流等的时间还是有的。学习不差这一两个小时，有了好的身体之后，效率反而会提高。很多家长(微博)存在这样一个误区，认为孩子在学习上花的时间越长越好，甚至有些还要求孩子熬夜学习。学得多不一定学得好，学习并不是“苦力活”，它更多的是一种脑力劳动。运动可以提高孩子的免疫力，有利于身体健康，也是释放压力的一种方式。所以，不要为了学习成绩而减少运动时间。 以上是对最后这几天的复习建议，那下面提供2015年高考英语全国卷I以及答案作为参考给各位广大的英语学子作最后的复习模拟：
