英语卷·2017届河北省定州中学高三复读班下学期周练（5-7）（2017-05）

河北定州中学2016-2017学年第二学期 高四英语周练试题（5.7）‎ 一、阅读理解 ‎ Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?‎ But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.‎ I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential.‎ Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.‎ ‎1．The passage is mainly discussing _______.‎ A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call B. that important message will reach you sooner or later C. whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls D. whether it is necessary to have a telephone ‎2．Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?‎ A. The author. B.A tycoon.‎ C.A taxi-driver. D. Hardly anyone.‎ ‎3．According to the passage, the author________.‎ A. thinks the telephone should go out of our life B. likes to be different from other people C. thinks the telephone is annoying D. speaks favourably of a telephone ‎4．In the author’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.‎ B. It’s necessary for everyone to have a telephone.‎ C. He himself can not decide whether to answer a call.‎ D.A telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎5．As I was reading a recent story in Slate on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruining their life plans, I couldn’t help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment: my husband and I probably won’t be able to buy a house until we’re in our 40s, and we too are burdened by student loans(贷款). But why should it be any different? Being young persons in America, shouldn’t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?‎ Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won’t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can’t afford to buy a house yet.‎ I read that, and I thought, what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury(奢华), not a fertility requirement.‎ A 26-year-old in the story despairs(绝望) that he can’t afford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.‎ Yes, it’s sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people’s expectations are slowly adjusting, but today’s 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyone’s wealth appeared to be expanding. Their parents probably saw their home values rise along with their investments. “So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.‎ This recession(衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful－for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day－than on longing for some kind of luxury life.‎ ‎67．What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?‎ ‎ A．They expect everything to be easy for them.‎ ‎ B．They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.‎ ‎ C．They are reluctant to face all of the challenges.‎ ‎ D．They are burdened by student loans.‎ ‎68．The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means .‎ ‎ A．baby production B．pleasant ‎ ‎ C．baby comfort D．essential ‎69．Which of the following is not one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?‎ ‎ A．They can’t have children for at least a decade to buy a house.‎ ‎ B．They have only one-bedroom apartment to live in.‎ ‎ C．They can’t buy a house until 40 because of student loans.‎ ‎ D．They despair at not being able to afford a Ph.D. in literature.‎ ‎70．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?‎ ‎ A．To tell us what the author’s attitude towards the 20 – somethings.‎ ‎ B．To explain why young people can’t afford to buy a house.‎ ‎ C．To suggest what we should do when young people’s high hopes create despair.‎ ‎ D．To explain what the 20 – something’s high expectations are.‎ Some people have travelled to Canada while others may have just heard of it . As is known to all, the Canadian red and white maple leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada. The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background, with red borders down each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag. Canada is a very large country, too. It is the second largest country in the world.By contrast, it has a very small population. There are only about 29 millinon people there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin, and French is an official language as well English. About 45 % of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc, come from Britain. Nearly 30 % are of French origin. Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of quebec. Over the years people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world. They are mostly from European countries and also from China, as well as other Asian countries.‎ ‎ However , Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive. Canadian-Indian lived along the coast, bythe rivers and lakes and in forests. Today there are only 350,000 Canadian-Indians in the whole country, with their own language. In the far north live the Inuits. There are only 27, 000 Canadian-Inuits. Their life is hard in such a harsh climate.‎ ‎6．What is the populatin of Quebec?‎ A. More than 29, 000.000‎ B. About 30% of the total population.‎ C. Over 45% of th etotal population D. Less than 30% of the French-Canadians.‎ ‎7．Which of the following stands for Canada?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎8．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?‎ A.

For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.‎ But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.”‎ The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.‎ And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.‎ Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer.

I miss you a lot of. I’m writing a letter to ask you for help. As you know, I am eager to be photographer like you, so I asked my parents to buy me a camera last week. But he told me I wouldn’t concentrate in my schoolwork if I got it. Oh, my god! What can I make them trust me？I’m not a kid any longer, but I can control myself. What’s worse, I have promised that I will take photos for the school’s newspaper next month. When asking by my classmates, I will be absolutely embarrassed. Therefore, would you like to lend me some money? If you’d like to, I will return it as soon as possibly.‎ ‎ Yours sincerely,‎ ‎ Tom ‎ ‎ 四、七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Why is volunteering important?‎ When it comes to service work, it is important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your volunteering work. 31．‎ Gaining new/social experiences Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic ‎ skills that couldn’t be learned in a classroom environment. 32．‎ ‎ Giving back and helping others ‎ Volunteers create better environments for others; they create healthier communities and they brighten lives.

It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits. （做志愿者可以使我们感觉很好，建立自信，鼓舞精神。）可知，本段应该讲做志愿者的意义在于发展成就感，故选B。‎ 考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 关于七选五的做题步骤：‎ ‎ 1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。‎ ‎ 2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。‎ ‎3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。 ‎ ‎4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。‎ 在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。 ‎ ‎5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。 ‎ ‎36．‎ ‎81.It was the window that Tom broke with a stone yesterday.‎ ‎82. English will be taught to the pupils in the school next month.‎ ‎/The pupils will be taught English in the school next month. ‎ ‎83. Only after he had apologized to me did I help him.‎ ‎84. Nor do I . ‎ ‎85.The teacher asked how I had repaired the computer. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【解析】完成句子
