河北定州中学2016-2017学年第二学期高三英语开学考试 一、阅读理解 Last year more than 13 Korean (韩国) TV series were introduced in China. Turn on the TV, and Korean beauties are appearing during peak viewing times(黄金时段). Some of the dramas are being repeated, but audiences continue to watch them. Why are the South Korean TV series loved by so many Chinese people? Cheng Yiting, a student from East China Normal University, gives us her reasons. She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas. But what attracted the young audiences most is the pure and moving love stories.‎ And it seems that South Korean TV series has also won the hearts of middle-aged people. They are touched by the morals(道德)in the shows. These include the importance of respecting elders and social order. Though some people think South Korean TV series are too slow and too long, most of the Chinese audiences like them. Maybe we are really tired of Western TV series. Compared with that, South Korean TV series are not bad. ‎ ‎1．Which of the following is NOT mentioned（提及）about South Korean TV series in the passage?‎ A. Love B. Morals C. Social order D. The youth self-respect ‎2．What is the main reason why South Korean TV series are popular?‎ A. The series are slow and long.‎ B. The actors wear cool clothes.‎ C.

Some trailers are so well equipped that people can comfortably live in them full time.‎ Almost all campers (露营车) are considered as recreational vehicles (RV’s). RV’s include motor homes, trailers, house trailers and truck campers. The smaller trailers usually have just enough room for two people to sleep and store a few personal travel items. Some of the larger motor homes include a kitchen, a bathroom, an eating area and even a bedroom. ‎ While tent camping is always an adventure, campers are a fun way to take a long trip, or to spend some more comfortable time in a beautiful setting, like a lakeside campground. So many camper trailers have been designed for people to live in the trailer long term. Some people choose to park their trailers in trailer parks and live in their trailers full time. In America many retired adults choose to spend their time traveling across the country on the open road and bring their trailers with them. Full time use of trailers for these travelers is considered to be a recreational (休闲的) activity.‎ Camper trailers can also be rented and used for a shorter period of time, such as a camping trip or a road trip. A camper trailer can be a comfortable alternative to sleeping in a tent if you are camping. If you like traveling at your own pace, a camper trailer is a good choice.‎ ‎4．What can we know about camper trailers?‎ A. They are suitable for both long and short trips.‎ B.

The bag contained a book.‎ This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan, "a woman who knew everybody in her day, "James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.‎ Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia ,It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D. C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear" during the troubled days. George Wash- ington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man. and praised her excellent English ．‎ The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先）to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.‎ Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession" about five minutes" when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.‎ Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck,"‎ ‎ I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.‎ According to Green. no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .‎ Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of 1,000,Philadelphia gained another treasure for its histo- ry, and Luxmoore told reporters, "It's wonderful news. I'm on high".‎ ‎8．This article mainly tells about the story of ＿＿＿＿＿‎ A. a lost diary B. Deborah Logan C.

I'm rich B. I'm famous C. I'm excited D. I'm lucky.‎ We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most ‎ mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul - why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.‎ Why do we go wrong about our friends - or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But lucky dog? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.‎ Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.‎ How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.‎ ‎13． This passage is mainly about ____________.‎ A. how to interpret what people say B. what to do when you listen to others talking C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people D. why we go wrong with people sometimes ‎14．According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ____________.‎ A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say C. people usually state one thing but mean another D. we tend to doubt what our friends say ‎15．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ____________.‎ A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck ‎ ‎ 二、完形填空 Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road.
