Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝)after you finish eating. Burping would show that you liked your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one. People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.21People turn their backs on others while they eat in _.Asome parts of PolynesiaBan East African townCMongoliaDArabia22In an East African town, the people try not to see you. This is because _.Athey are busy doing thingsBthey dont want to talk with youCit is good mannersDthey are waiting for you to talk with them23Which of the following statements is True?AManners are different all over the world.BChildren with good manners are quiet.CYou should not walk behind the tents in Arabia.DIn Mongolia, you should say “excuse me” when you give a burp after dinner.24The best title of the passage should be _.ADifferent kinds of mannersBWhat are good mannersCChildrens manners are differentDWhen you are in Rome, do as the Romans do答案与解析本文介绍了各地的不同风俗。21A根据文中句意我们知道在玻利尼西亚群岛,人们进餐时习惯背对着别人,因为他们认为,吃东西时让别人看见是不礼貌的,可知选项A正确。22C根据What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you.They are being polite.可知这是礼貌的表现。故答案选C。23A根据本文介绍的各地的风俗可知各地的风俗不同。故答案A正确。24A通读全文可知本文介绍了各地的不同风俗。故答案A正确。B(2017哈师大附中月考)Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had read carefully, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No redos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!25What did the authors classmates think about his report?AControversial.BRidiculousCBoring. DPuzzling.26Why was the author confused about the task?AHe was unfamiliar with American history.BHe followed the advice and flipped a coin.CHe forgot his teachers instructions.DHe was not familiar with the new school.27The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means _.Aannoyed BashamedCreadyDeager28In the end, the author turned things around _.Aby redoing his taskBthrough his own effortsCwith the help of his grandfatherDunder the guidance of his headmaster答案与解析本文是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者作为一个外来移民初到新学校时由于不了解美国历史而成为同学们的笑料。此后作者通过自己的努力扭转了局面而成功的故事。25B细节理解题。由第一段中的“.only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”,可知同学们认为作者的报告是可笑的(ridiculous),所以选B项。controversial有争议的;boring令人厌烦的;puzzling令人困惑的。26A细节理解题。由第二段中的“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.”,可知作者不熟悉美国历史, A项正确。B、D两项是文中的事实,但并不是作者不知如何完成作业的原因,故排除;C项与原文内容不符,作者没有忘记老师的要求,所以C项本身就不正确。27D词义猜测题。由文中第一句同学们都笑作者和本句中作者放下报告,坐在桌旁,可推知作者是急着想知道自己究竟哪儿出了错误,所以“eager(急切的)”符合题意。annoyed生气的;ashamed羞愧的;ready准备好的。故选D。28B细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”,可知作者通过自己的努力扭转了局面,故选B项。C(2017江西省玉山县高三检测)I didnt cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally handicapped child. I just sat still and didnt say anything.When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full of kids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the “different” child among them, she was probably the loneliest.However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristis classmates always took pains to praise her: “Kristi got all her spelling words right today.” No one bothered to add that her spelling list was easier than anyone elses.Later, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the years music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely_missing_one_program_couldnt_matter. But my conscience wouldnt let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten, I felt worried because of her slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Jenny would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack(袋子). I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her. Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.Then I finally cried.29When sending her daughter to the kindergarten, the writer must have felt _.AlonelyBworried CcheerfulDscared30What does the underlined sentence imply?AIt didnt matter to miss one program because it was not important.BKristis illness prevented her from taking part in the program.CIt gave the author a good excuse not to send Kristi to the program.DThe teachers wouldnt blame Kristi for she was ill.31The author expressed her gratitude mainly because _.Aher daughters teammates helped her experience the happy feeling of her ageBher daughter Kristi won the competition with the help of her teammates Cthe teachers at the kindergarten arranged some teammates to help her daughterDthe other kids parents cheered for her daughters good performance32Whats the best title of the passage?AMy disabled daughter BAn unforgettable experienceCThe day I cried DA warmhearted teamwork答案与解析本文作者讲述了她的女儿Jenny读幼儿园时,在她的朋友帮助下,摆脱了自卑心理,像别人一样快乐生活的故事。说明了我们只要相互理解、帮助,世界就会更美好。29B推理判断题。根据第二段When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full of kids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the “different” child among them, she was probably the loneliest.克里斯蒂七岁时,我们把她送进了我们家附近的一所幼儿园上学。我担心,当她发现自己不同于其他孩子们的时候,她会感到前所未有的孤独。可知作者“担忧”,故选B。30C词义猜测题。根据第五段On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. 活动的那天,克里斯蒂假装生病了。我也非常想让她呆在家里。Surely_missing_one_program_couldnt_matter. But my conscience wouldnt let me off that easily.但是我的良心不会轻易让我离开。可知画线意思是:错过一个活动并不重要。可知作者在找借口不让Krist参加这个项目。故选C。31A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.我感谢上天把热情、善解人意的人们带给我和克里斯蒂,他们让我身患残疾的女儿能像她的同伴们一样生活。可知作者感谢是因为她女儿的队友帮助她体验了她这个时代的快乐感觉。故选A。32C主旨大意题。根据文章第一段I didnt cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally handicapped child.

This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smart phones.When they are gathering together, more people are on their smart phones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smart phones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. Peoples attachment to their smart phones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendship in the real world. Facetoface conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run. As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smart phones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is deadvancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the Smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face to face but it is also lowering societys ability to communicate.33The purpose of this text is to _.Aexpress a concern about the overuse of the smart phoneBcall for an end to use the smart phone while drivingCappeal to us to pay attention to communication skillsDadvise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smart phone34The second paragraph is developed by _.Alisting figuresBgiving examplesCanalyzing the effects Dcomparing facts35Over dependence on the smart phone leads to the fact that _.Aparties and gatherings limit their social circleBpeople are more and more narrowmindedCpeoples communication skills are weakenedDfacetoface communication becomes less important答案与解析文章介绍现在人们过度使用手机,给人们带来很多危害,也削弱了人们面对面交流的能力。33A写作意图题。根据文章第一段的句子“This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smart phones.”和最后一段的句子“Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face to face but it is also lowering societys ability to communicate.”可知文章是表达对过度使用手机的担忧。故选A。34B写作手法题。根据文章第二段的内容,可知这段列举了美国人对手机的过度使用和年轻人使用手机发短信的例子,说明第二段是通过举例来写的。故选B。35C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“The quality of this technology is deadvancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.”可知过度依赖手机使人们的交流能力削弱了。故选C。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。(2017重庆一中月考)The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. _36_ But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.1If youre obese, blame your genes._37_ Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2If youre obese, you lack selfcontrol.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. _38_ Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be good controllers of themselves.3_39_Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nations population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we dont exercise.Michelle Obamas “Lets Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. _40_ In fact, although a drop in workrelated physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. ALack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.BObesity rates have increased.CFresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.DBut there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.EPeople hold different views on obesity.FPeople benefit a lot from physical activities.GOur world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we cant understand.答案与解析肥胖是现代社会的主要问题之一。Deborah Cohen 的A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It一书中,介绍了人们对肥胖问题的几种误解。36E根据下句有转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”(但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解)可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确。37B根据下句内容“Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.”(然而,在1980年到2000年,美国肥胖的人数就翻了一番。增长速度太快,可见肥胖并非遗传因素所致)可知,此处表示“肥胖比例有所增加,故B项正确。38G根据上句“Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet.”(研究表明,如果我们面临太多信息,我们很可能就会节食作出糟糕的选择)可知,该句应表示“我们现在的食物如此丰富以致于我们会被引导以自己难以想象的方式去消耗食物”,故选G项。39A根据下文“For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables”(对大多数人来讲,肥胖与缺少更多的新鲜水果和蔬菜无关)可知,人们的误解为:缺少新鲜蔬菜水果是肥胖的一种原因,故选A项。40D根据下句“although a drop in workrelated physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.”(尽管跟工作相关的体力活动减少导致人们少燃烧多达100卡路里,但休闲体力活动似乎有所增加)可知,在二十世纪八十年代和九十年代,人们的体力活动并未明显减少,故选D项。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四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(2016天津高考)The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.Cathy suffered some terrible_41_in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she _42_ became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little headto be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to _43_our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally _44_it. The team practice, _45_,was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly _46_ her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to _47_her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit _48_to go! I told her she shouldnt swim after a whole nights coughing, but she refused to _49_and insisted she go. From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didnt _50_ a single practice. She had a _51_intention within herself to be the best she could be. My tenyearold was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this _52_human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of _53_of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasnt a _54_ ever. But that didnt stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didnt expect any award but was still there to _55_her friends and praise their accomplishments.
