A radio host. D. A retired teacher. 22. What does Alice advise customers to do? A. Widely use plastic bags. B. Buy food from a dispenser. C. Purchase packaged food. D. Avoid shopping at a grocery. 23. Why do Alan and Alice write the texts? A. To advertise a magazine. B. To give tips on writing articles. C. To subscribe to a magazine. D.

B No matter how long it took, or how much birthday money he would have to save, the 6-year-old South Carolina boy named Bell would spend his special day in "The Happiest Place On Earth." And, as local TV station reports, he was pretty close to realizing that dream, planning for a visit to Disney's Up-to-date medical information In October's magazine, I was touched by the inspiring story of Mama Arlene, who set up schools after retiring in a country far away from home. It teaches us that it is never too late to live a meaningful life. I also enjoy articles related to medical science. I learned the mechanism of how the body's immune system reacts to the flu virus. These articles are so informative and keep my medical knowledge up to date. Thanks to all the editors for filling each month with great articles. Thank teachers for making the radio program so interesting and worth anticipating. Alan Chen Earth Talk: Zero-waste grocery shopping The article on July 19th talked about a new trend and an environmentally friendly way of grocery shopping. Basically stores are not giving customers the option of using plastic bags in order to stop the usage of plastic bags completely. My reservation about this type of grocery store is that I cannot clearly see the expiration （失 效）dates of the food I am purchasing. For example, it is difficult for the lady loading cereal（麦片） into her own bag from a dispenser（自动售货机） to be sure that the cereal she is purchasing is guaranteed fresh, given the dispenser is always refilled from the top. The cereal coming out of the bottom dispenser opening, usually （if not always） stays in the dispenser the longest, but who can be certain how long it has been since the last time it was purchased? A clear and unambiguous expiration date marked on packaged food could still be appealing to customers from this point of view. Alice 蚌埠市高三年级英语试卷第 4 页（共 10 页） Animal Kingdom just in time for his seventh birthday this month. Then he heard the story of the hurricane: how it transformed the Bahamas into the unhappiest place on Earth — and how it continues to churn up （搅动） the East Coast, leaving tears in its wake. How could Bell dream of Disney World when so many others were living a nightmare? So the boy gathered his savings — and went to the grocery store. Instead of a romp（嬉闹）in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Bell bought much-needed food and water for thousands of people forced to leave their homes in advance of the storm. "The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they're going to stay at,"Bell told a reporter. Indeed, Bell made it hard for anyone to miss his offer. He pulled a couple of homemade signs to Highway 125 in Allendale with the words "Free hot dogs and water" on them. And he stood at the side of that highway, calling out to motorists, many of them tired and traumatized after leaving their homes behind. In all, he served more than 100 evacuees（被撤离者）. "I am very proud," his grandmother Aretha Grant told CNN. "We knew Bell was very special, but we didn't know he was special in this way, to be such a giver like this." Indeed, at his little stand in Allendale, Bell is giving people something much more precious than hot dogs. He's offering hope — and along the way, the little boy with the big heart is making his own magic kingdom. 24. What can we learn about Bell at the beginning of the story? A. He quit his birthday plan. B. He visited the Bahamas. C. He played happily at Disneyland. D. He experienced the hurricane. 25. How did Bell help the victims of hurricane? A. By donating money. B. By offering food. C. By providing shelters. D. By making campaigns. 26. What does the underlined word “traumatized” probably mean? A. In great relief. B. In great sorrow. C. With great appreciation. D. With great caution. 27. What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Bell's act makes a big difference. B. Hot dogs are more precious than hope. C. People should have a lifelong ambition. D. Children are full of imagination and creativity. C If you've started thinking about your career（职业）, you'll probably have noticed that there are certain jobs you're just not supposed to do if you're a girl. However, a lot is happening today to get women into male-dominated（男性主导的）areas of work. This International Women's Day, we look at three areas of work where things are tough for women right now-but where change is happening. Science and research The situation today Have you heard of STEM? STEM means science, technology, engineering and maths. It covers a whole 蚌埠市高三年级英语试卷第 5 页（共 10 页） range of jobs, from scientists who research cures for diseases, to engineers who design things like buildings, roads and bridges. These jobs are highly skilled. But of every eight people in a STEM job, only one is a woman. Why we need more women in science The lack of women in STEM jobs is becoming a national problem. The government is worried there simply won't be enough scientists and engineers in the future. This could affect the whole economy because, as a country, we can sell our technology and skills to other countries. STEM jobs also create more work further down the line, such as for construction workers who build roads and bridge. The police The situation today In March 2015, the percentage of female police officers stood at 28%. This compares with 22% nine years earlier in 2006. And the percentage has not always risen over this period. In fact, it peaked（顶峰）in 2010 before falling, before flatlining over the next three years. Why we need more women in the police force The police are there for the whole community and that includes women! Because crime is often to do with sex, or violence by men against women, a woman police officer might be more understanding or more approachable. Studies also suggest that women tend to trust other women more than men. Women can also be more understanding. Often, when a person comes forward to report an incident, such as a problem at home or with neighbours, women are often better at listening and at understanding other people's problems, while men are more likely to be dismissive. 28. What do we learn about women in Paragraph 1? A. They are hard to find jobs. B. They have a wider choice of jobs. C. They change jobs at times. D. They act better in doing man's jobs. 29. What could be the consequence of the lack of women in science? A. It creates more jobs. B. It leads to national chaos. C. It influences the economic development. D. It brings about the technological revolution. 30. What can be inferred from the studies on female police? A. Male police are not so trustworthy as female police. B. Female police hardly care about common incidents. C. Female police officers are easier to communicate with. D. The percentage of female police is always on the increase. 31. What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph? A. Occupation guidance. B. Women's advantages. C. Man-dominated careers. D. Another area of work. D In 2006, documents were published by the United States Food and Drug Administration （FDA）. They suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal products would be allowed into the American food supply. The FDA has stated that cloned animal products are safe for consumption, and has performed many studies 蚌埠市高三年级英语试卷第 6 页（共 10 页） to support this view. In fact, products from cloned animals have already been eaten by some Americans without ill effects. The FDA analyzed the structure（结构）and content of cloned animal products and compared it with that of traditionally reproduced animals, and discovered no statistical difference between the two. Consumers raised serious concerns about cloned animals. The first is the question of whether or not cloned tissue and animal products are truly safe. The second is that many clones are also genetically modified（转基因 的）animals, which the FDA has said are unsafe for human consumption. The third is that consumers want to be able to choose what they put into their bodies. The first concern about cloned animals is almost unnecessary due to the price of producing a clone. Making a clone needs hard work and is very costly. These clones live spoiled lives because they are very valuable, despite biologists' warning that cloned animals decrease diversity. The second concern, about genetic modification of cloned animals, is more problematic. It may be very difficult to separate genetically modified animals from normal ones. The purpose of genetically modified cloned animals is unclear, and the FDA hasn't allowed their products onto the market, due to health concerns, but the risk of genetic pollution of healthy animals still exists. Finally, the matter of choice is a large one. Many animal rights activists are worried about clone rights because cloned or not, the animals still have lives. Other consumers are simply trying to eat healthy foods, and have doubts about the cloned animals. If the FDA does not make labeling（贴标签）laws, people may not be able to make informed choices about their food. 32. Why did the FDA allow cloned animal products for consumption? A. They appeal to consumers very much. B. They differ from traditional animal products. C. They taste better than normal animal products. D. They have been proved safe in several aspects. 33. What do we know about producing clones of animals? A. It takes much more efforts and money. B. It provides some new medical benefits. C. It needs less time than raising animals. D. It helps increase the diversity of animals. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Cloned animals should be forbidden to enter market. B. Cloned animals should have the same rights as humans. C. Laws should be made to protect people's right to choose food. D. Animal rights activists are strongly against cloned animal products. 35. What's the text mainly about? A. Doubts about cloned animals rights. B. Discussions about how to clone animals. C. Concerns about animal cloning technology. D. Worries about cloned animal consumption. 蚌埠市高三年级英语试卷第 7 页（共 10 页） 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A lot of kids struggle with reading. Parents have tried encouraging them in all sorts of ways, but nothing seems to work. Actually many factors（因素）can cause reading problems. 36 Here are a few things you can do to help your kid become a better reader. Read to your kid-and have him/her read to you Grab one of the books you loved when you were your kid's age and read it to him/her or take turns reading it to each other. 37 Make reading a regular part of the night-time routine. Don't be pushy Just because you're a science fan or read on history and other nonfiction doesn't mean your kid will be remotely interested in any of those things. In fact, you've been pushing your tastes on your kid. 38 Choose books that interest your kid Most kids love movies. Did your kid like Ready Player One or Ender's Game? They are based on books. 39 If your goal is to get your kid interested in reading and improve his/her skills, what your kid's reading is less important than how much time he/she spends doing it. 40 Kids who have trouble reading often feel that there's something wrong with them. So work with your kid to come up with manageable goals and make a big deal every time he/she accomplishes one. With time, gradually make the goals more challenging. A. Achieve your goals B. Celebrate small steps C. Reading books can help your kid get a head start in school. D. If your kid stops or makes a mistake, be patient and don't judge. E. Overcoming them can sometimes be an annoying process for everyone. F. Starting with something your kid is already interested in could help draw him into reading. G. You may have contributed to his/her reading problems rather than helping overcoming them. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 Mevan Babakar had a difficult start in life.

It doesn't cost anything and it 60 the world one person at a time." 41. A. reached B. fled C. served D. visited 42. A. recovery B. goal C. end D. birth 43. A. reward B. puzzle C. promise D. dream 44.

M: A bit, but before we left we had a training course. It was tough but taught us about surviving in sub-zero conditions. The worst danger we discovered was falling into holes in ice. 蚌埠市高三年级英语听力材料第 3 页（共 3 页） W:Could you get in touch with the outside world there? M: There was satellite communication equipment. W:So didn't you see anyone else for a whole year? M: Well, there was that time when we were having the usual canned food and there was a funny noise. Jill thought it was the wind but it was getting closer. Suddenly the room was flooded with light from the window. I opened the door and found a box in the snow. I looked up and saw a plane flying away. They were passing nearby and someone told them that we were out there. They dropped us a box with some fresh fruit and vegetables. It was a lovely surprise. （Text 10） W:And now it's time to find out what's on at the Arts Center. This week's entertainment starts on Monday with a play based on the novel Birds on the Wing by author Philip Cruise. Set on a Greek island in the last century, it tells a story of true love that succeeds in the face of great difficulties. Tuesday brings a dance workshop, led by Diana Fransen. This exciting new mix of exercise and dance is great fun. The two hours will be over before you realize it. There are only places for 20 people, so book now if you're interested. The Matsuri drummers from Japan come to the Arts Center on Wednesday. If you think drumming is just a lot of loud noise, think again — their clothes and effects are amazing. On Thursday a famous band from England, directed by Leslie Ager, performs a concert of popular pieces. The jazz singer and guitarist, Maddie Felix, comes on Friday evening as part of her concert tour to celebrate her new CD. There are still a few tickets left, but hurry. They're selling out fast. To book tickets for any of these events, phone the box office on 714170, or check out the website. 第二节到此结束。现在, 你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 停顿 02′00″ 听力部分到此结束。
