2017 年天津市南开区高考模拟（二）试题英语 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 单项选择（15 分） 1. Unfortunately，________ stone hit him on ________ head and he got injured. （ ） A. the; a B. a; 不填 C. a; the D. the; the 解析：该题考查冠词的用法辨析。不定冠词 a/an 意为“一个”，表示泛指；定冠词 the 意为“这个”，表示特指. hit sb. on the head 意为“击中某人的头部”，为固定搭配；又根据 句意“不幸的是一块石头击中了他的头部”可知第一个横线处需使用不定冠词 a“一个/块”。 综上，本题答案为 C 选项。 答案：C 2. ________ to Anne’s birthday party，Mr. Brown is now searching shop after shop for a nice present for her. A. Having invited B. Having been invited C. Have been invited D. Being invited 解析：该题考查现在分词的完成式。句中有逗号分隔，没有连词，要用非谓语动词；invite 与主语 Brown 构成动宾关系，要用表示被动的过去分词；句意表达的 invite 动作发生在 search 动作之前，要用分词的完成式作原因状语。故选 B。 答案：B 3. The activities organized by our school really gave us a platform ________ we learned team spirit. A. that B. where C. which D. when 解析：该题考查限制性定语从句。根据句子结构可知，________ we learned team spirit 是一个定语从句，在该句子里主语宾语不缺，所以需用关系副词来引导，结合先行词为 platform，表示一个抽象地点，所以用 where。 答案：B 4. ________ I say Clancy is a smart boy，he still needs to work hard to achieve his goal. A. Then B. When C. While D. As 解析：该题考查从属连词。A：那么；然后；B：当……的时候；C：虽然；D：因为。 根据后面的“但是他还需要努力学习才能实现他的目标”可知前面一个分句需要使用引导让 步作用的从属连词 while“虽然”一词。综上，本题答案为 D 选项；其余选项均不符合题意。 答案：C 5. The new buyer identified a dozen new sources for the material，________ proved to be reliable. A. most of them B. most of which C. most of whom D. most of those 解析：该题考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构及句意可知，后面的分句为定语从句。 定语从句的先行词是指物的物 the material，故应该用 which 做介词宾语，引导非限制性定语 从句；X 选项 whom 代人，A 选项 them 无法用来引导定语从句，D 选项 those 也无法引导定 语从句。综上，本题答案为 B 选项。 答案：B 6. The old woman who ____ in the deserted house alone for ten years have been settled in a nursing home now. A. lived B. have lived C. had lived D. has been living 解析：该题考查一般过去时的用法。根据句意可知，由于那对老夫妻现在已经被安顿在 养老院了，不在那所废弃的房子里住了，因此“住在废弃的房子里”是发生在过去的动作， 句中的时间状语 now 对应的是过去；故应使用一般过去时；B 现在完成时，表示发生在过 去并持续到了现在的动作；C 过去完成时，表示发生在过去某时间之前的动作；D 现在完成 进行时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作，并且还将持续下去；B、C、D 都不 符合句意。故选 A。 答案：A 7. —I phoned you yesterday morning. A girl answered，but I didn’t recognize the voice. —Oh，it ________ my younger sister. She was in my room at that moment. A. must have been B. should have been C. could have been D. may have been 解析：该题考查情态动词的用法。句意表达的是肯定的推测；对过去的推测要用情态动 词加完成时态来构成；must 一定，should 应该，could 可能，may 也许。根据句意表达的是 肯定推测，故选 A。 答案：A 8. —Do you mind if I look at your new mobile phone? —Of course not. ___________. A. Please don’t B. It depends C. Be my guest D. No way 解析：该题考查语言交际。A. Please don’t 请不要，请勿；B. It depends 看情况而定； C. Be my guest 别客气，请便；D. No way 没门。根据答语“当然不介意”，可知此处表达的 应是“我”同意你看“我”的新手机。故选 C。 答案：C 9. In the reading room, we found her ________ at a desk, with her attention ________ on a book. A. sitting; fixing B. to sit; fixed C. seating; fixing D. seated; fixed 解析：该题考查过去分词。句中 sit 或 seat 作 her 的宾语补足语，即 find sb. doing sth. 发现某人正在做某事；seat 是及物动词，作宾补时，与 her 构成动宾关系，要用过去分词； fix 作 attention 的宾语补足语，即 with+名词+非谓语动词；fix 与 attention 构成动宾关系，要 用过去分词。故选 D。 答案：D 10. How long do you think ________ the computer company brings out a new product? A. will it be when B. will it be until C. it will be before D. it will be that 解析：该题考查时间状语从句及用法。分析句子的结构可知，这里 do you think 是插入 语，这是固定句式 it willbe+some time+before+句子.意为：还要过多久才能……，这里是对 时间段进行提问，所以用疑问词 how long，因为疑问词后有插入语，当插入语用了疑问语序， 它后面的成分就用陈述语序，故选 C。 答案：C 11. —Monitor? —I’m not monitor of our class. I ________with the teacher until the monitor is elected. A. will just help B. am just to help C. am just helping D. have just helped 解析：该题考查现在进行时。根据题意可知，我现在只是帮助老师做一些事情，暗示目 前我正从事的事情，所以需用现在进行时表示目前正进行的动作。 答案：C 12. How could they reach an agreement？Some said one thing，but others ________. A. other B. another C. the other D. others 解析：该题考查不定代词。A：其他的（后接可数名词复数）；B：另一个（表示泛指）； C：另一个（表示特指）；D：其他的。根据前面的 one thing“一样（东西）”可知后面与会 对应的是“另一样（东西）”，又因为此处没有特指，故使用 another 一词来表达“另一样（东 西）”之意。综上，本题答案为 B 选项，其余选项均不符合题意。 答案：B 13. It is important to pay your electricity bill on time，as late payments may affect your ______. A. condition B. income C. credit D. status 解析：该题考查名词的词义辨析。condition“条件，状况”； income“收入”； credit“信 用，信誉”； status“身份，地位”。 根据上文语境和句子所表达的意思“逾期付款影响信用” 可知答案选 C。 答案：C 14.

A. on purpose B. by accident C. on business D. by mistake 解析：该题考查介词短语。on purpose 故意；by accident 意外；on business 出差；by mistake 失误。句意表达的是劝慰，可以知道不是故意的。故选 A。 答案：A 15. Had the governments and scientists not worked together，AIDS﹣related deaths _______ since their highest in 2005. A. had not fallen B. would not fall C. did not fall D. would not have fallen 解析：该题考查虚拟语气和过去完成时。根据题干从句中 had 置于句首可知，此处为虚 拟语气中连词 if 省略情况。由从句中谓语动词 had not worked (had done)可知，是对过去情 况的假设，所以主句中的谓语动词应用 would/could/might/should have done 来表示对过去情 况的假设。故选 D。 答案：D 第二节 完形填空（满分 30 分） My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys.

The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live. One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years. The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock. 41. The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________. A. he had to live in a dark and silent world B. a terrible traffic accident happened to him C. he was struck by the lightning once more D. nobody in the world cared about him 42. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning? A. Taking a walk with a stick. B. Driving a car. C. Sheltering from the rain under a tree. D. Lying on the ground. 43. What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock? A. A plough and a wall. B. His neighbors. C. His wife who called for help to save him. D. Many doctors surrounding him. 44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years. B. Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes. C. Robert could hear his wife’s shouting for help when he woke up. D. The family’s love helped Robert regain confidence to live. 45. We can infer from the text that __________. A. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured B. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery C. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock D. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery. 解析：41.细节题。根据文章的第一段的 The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.可知丧失视力和听力让他想结束生命， 故选 A。 42.推理题。根据第二段的 He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning. 可知他是在树下躲雨的时候被击中的，判断选 C。 43.细节题。由第二段中的 He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw﹣﹣a plough and a wall.可知当他睁开眼睛，他看到的是犁和墙，可 知选 A。 44.细节题。根据文章第二段的 Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree 可知他是 20 分钟后醒来，而 不是躲在树下 20 分钟，因此选 B。 45.推理题。根据第三段的 However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened 可知对于 Robert 的康复没有明确的解释，故选 D。 答案：ACABD C The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day. People，including many experts，find it difficult to slow down the process. However，leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future，according to a new study. That is to say，a third of oil reserves on the earth，half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050. If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking. However，it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes. "Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible(矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2﹣ degree goal，"Dr. Christophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement. "If they go ahead with developing their own resources，"he added，"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit. " It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive. Energy ﹣related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China， Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，but according to the new model used in this latest study，developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future. "We’ve now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit，"added Mc Glade. World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart，because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon，climate change will cause irreversible(不可 逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide，leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in. 46. According to Paragraph 1, our goal is to _____________. A. discover more fossil fuels for the future generation B. slow down the climate change C. refuse to use reserves on the earth D. keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius 47. The underlined word "emissions" in Paragraph 1refers to _____________. A. things that are sent out into the air B. products that are made from fossil fuels C. factors that cause the climate change D. changes that happen after temperature rise 48. According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2，all countries should _____________. A. make full use of their fossil fuels B. work together towards the 2﹣degree goal C. find better ways to dig out the coal D. increase the global carbon budget 49. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in _____________. A. digging out the oil in the Middle East B. getting people to rethink their fuel plans C. developing fossil fuels around the world D. developing energy﹣related industry worldwide 50. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of temperature control? A. Confident. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Unclear. 解析：46.细节题。根据第一段第四行 If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry some measures，以及本段最后一 句it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes可知我们的目标是阻止全球气温上升 2°C， 所以答案是 D。 47.词义猜测题。根据这个词汇后面的 from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking 可知该词指的是工厂和家庭燃煤后排出的废气，所以答案是 A。 48.推理判断题。根据第二段 Mc Glade 所说的话，特别是 they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit 可知如果一个国家在自己的地方排放废气，其他国家的努力减排是无用的，所以答案 是 B。 49.推理判断题。Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China，Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，可知全世 界的许多国家都在利用煤和汽油做燃料，所以答案是 C。 50.推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句 it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes， 以及第三段对于全世界的许多国家都在利用煤和汽油做燃料的描述可知，作者对于全球变暖 的看法是消极的，所以答案是 B。 答案：DABCB D It’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29th，she still didn’t seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times. In Munro’s eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses. Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune. She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic. Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting. Runaway，one of Munro’s representative works，is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life. There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart. Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct 10th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the "master of the contemporary short story". 51. We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro ____________. A. didn’t get on well with the media B. was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize C. didn’t value the title of Women of the Year D. remained modest though very successful 52. Many of Alice Munro’s works ____________. A. center on the happy life of country women B. are about betrayals of love and violence C. focus on everyday life of ordinary people D. are romantic stories setting in her hometown 53. What makes Alice Munro’s stories fascinating according to the text? A. The complicated plots. B. Her rich imagination. C. The humorous language. D. Her writing techniques. 54. In her representative work Runaway，Carla ____________. A. tries to run away from her husband B. is a faithful wife to her husband C. leads a happy life with Clark D. loses all hopes for a better life 55. What is the text mainly about? A. Alice Munro and her hometown. B. Alice Munro and her writing style. C. Alice Munro’s representative works. D. The awards Alice Munro won. 解析：51.推理判断题。根据句子 Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight 可知即使 Alice Munro 成功了也仍然很谦逊，故答案为 D。 52.细节理解题。根据句子 So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people 可知她的作品主要写普通人们的日常生活，故答案为 C。 53.细节理解题。根据句子 Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting. 可知是 Alice Munro 的写作技巧让她的作品有吸引 力，故答案为 D。 54.推理判断题。根据句子 she decides to flee 可知作品中女主人公想要逃离她的丈夫， 故答案为 A。 55.主旨大意题。短文主要介绍了作家 Alice Munro，以及她能让写出极具吸引力的作品， 故答案为 B。 答案：DCDAB 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱 惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t? To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines. Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation(背诵) of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole，Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science. 56. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
