高考英語考前測驗試題（含答案） 1
閱讀理解 (滿分40分)
(A)
It began to snow when my husband fell to his death, just like any November day. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I walked downstairs slowly and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling (鏟) my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before John’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors, I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasnt easy. Friends cooked for me and l cried because I couldnt even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I wept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I once was，but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
Why did the author crawl through the living room?
A. Because her knees got injured.
B. Because she felt ashamed.
C. Because she didn’t want to pay the snow remover.
D. Because she had to brush her hair.
We can describe the writer before her husband died as the following except ______.
A. smart B. independent
C. hard-working D. capable

A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.
B. The writer ’s death.
C. The writer recovered from her sorrow quickly with h friends’ help.
D. The day her husband died, it was snowing heavily.
The writer wrote the passage to ______.
A. share her sad story with us
B. express her guilty conscience to the people who helped her
C. tell us D. show her thanks to the people who love and support her
(B)
A man who owns a villa has decided to drop the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 7 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍賣) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止贖權(quán)) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人) called Larry Else told ABC News.
“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau(人口普查辦公室).
Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退稅款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 7, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.
That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 6, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid (出價), and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.
This is not the end of his bartering (物物交換) business, however, as Else said that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.
Why did the owner drop his price for the house?
A. Because the house was too old.
B. Because there is a boom in economy.
C. Because the population in Detroit is small.
D. Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.
Larry Else hasn’t come into the house because ______.’t permit it
C. it will break the company’s rule
D. he is not familiar with the area
The house will most possibly be sold at the price of ______.______.
(C)
Prepare: Plan ahead and think about what you are going to say. In the words of Mark Twain, it usually takes you more than three weeks to prepare for it.
Know your subject: Always make sure that you know the subject and have background information at hand for question time.
Know your audience: Find out who you will be addressing so that you can tailor (適合) your comments accordingly.
Make a point: Keep your speech short and brief and have a few clear points that you need to convey.
Practice: Never learn your speech by heart as your delivery will become unnatural, but do practice it a few times in front of the mirror, your parents or your dog.
Eye contact: If the thought of looking into a sea of faces scares you, adjust your gaze regularly at different points in the room to create the same effect.
First impressions: Your first impression is important when making a public presentation. Find out about dress codes at the place so that you look your best and, if possible, check the microphone beforehand to ensure you know how to use it.
Get help: If public presentations are a major part of your life, read up on the art of speech writing and delivery to improve your skills.
Knowing your subject helps you ______.
A. shorten your preparation time
B. find out who likes your presentation best
C. make better answers when asked questions about the subject

As we all know, sunshine is important to vegetables, but not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests produce fresh from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website — greenhousebed.com — often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and trees roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus (蘆筍around a tree at its drip line (滴水線), the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
The Hoffmans’ website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (農(nóng)藥). Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants.
What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Sun can affect the production of some plants.
B. Food growing in the shade contains more nutrients.
C. Food and flowers produce more in the shade.
D. Food growing in the shade is the best choice for most plants.
By using asparagus as an example, the author wants to explain that ______.
A. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade
B. how leaves gain sunshine under the tree
C. vegetables grow better in partial shade
D. how plants and tree roots share water
The underlined words “l(fā)eaf hoppers” in Para. 5 may be a kind of ______.
What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To present a kind of eco-friendly lifestyle.
B. To show vegetables can be planted in the shade.
C. To recommend an approach to managing a website.
D. To introduce Mark Hoffman and his family.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear 61 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and 62 hesitation. 63 , we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose(組成)sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know 64 to arrange sentences in paragraphs so as to write a good letter or composition.
There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. 65 good memory is of great help, but it is not enough 66 (simple) to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their 67 (meaning). We learn words not by ourselves, 68 in sentences. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with only a few rules we 69 (memorize) so far, we are not really learning the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who 70 (be) studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
A
The Internet has become part of teenage life. A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often.
While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as its good to read news or find helpful information to study.
Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents all think the book is of great help. A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad sites. “Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents,” she said. “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”

A. why we should use the Internet
B. how to study using the Internet

A. The textbook is a guide for teens to use the Internet.
B. All the students in Shanghai have to use the textbook.
C. The textbook can help students make more online friends.
D. Most of the students use the Internet in a wrong way.
答案
1. C。根據(jù)第二段“In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used...”可知，這本書是關(guān)于如何正確使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的。
2. A。根據(jù)第三段“Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline...”可知，這里是說如果要在線下見網(wǎng)友，要讓父母知道，所以offline意思是“線下”。
3. C。根據(jù)第二段“While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies...”可知，大多數(shù)學(xué)生在網(wǎng)上獲取有用信息來幫助學(xué)習(xí)。
4. A。根據(jù)第三段“A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet.”可知，這本書是青少年使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的.指南，A選項正確。
B
When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules(規(guī)則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, too. For example, “I have seen the film already.” “I already have seen the film.”
But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Look at the pair of sentences: “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
1. From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.
A. we shouldnt put every word into our own language
B. we should look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language
D. we must read word by word
2. The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds
B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules for word order
D. easy to master the rules for word order
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
4. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Different Orders, Different Meanings
B. How to Speak English
C. How to Put English into Our Own Language
D. How to Learn English
答案
1. A。根據(jù)第一段“When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language.”可知，學(xué)習(xí)英語時，不應(yīng)該逐字翻譯。
2. C。根據(jù)第二段“Its important to master(掌握) the rules(規(guī)則) for word order in the study of English, too.”可知，作者認(rèn)為掌握單詞順序規(guī)則很重要。
3. C。根據(jù)第二段“Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, too.”可知，有時候單詞順序改變，句子意思也會改變，C選項正確。

C
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.
The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1. What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?
A. They are too slim.
B. They work too hard.
C. They are too fat.
D. They lose too much body fat.
2. According to the passage, given 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a “weight problem”?
A. 30.
B. 100.
C. 150.
D. 200.
3. Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence.
C. There is hardly any evidence.
D. We dont know because the information is not given.
4. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s ________.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities
B. ate less food but had more physical activities
C. ate less food and had less physical activities
D. ate more food but had less physical activities
答案
1. C。根據(jù)第一段“In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a ‘weight problem’.”可知，很多美國成年人有肥胖問題。
2. C。因為30%的美國成年人有體重問題，500個成年人中，有體重問題的人數(shù)為500×30% = 150人。
3. C。根據(jù)第一段“But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.”可知，幾乎沒有科學(xué)證據(jù)支持吃太多是體重問題的原因。
4. A。根據(jù)第一段“Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically...”可知，20世紀(jì)10年代的美國人吃更多的食物，身體活動也更多。
