平坝第一高级中学2015届高三年级周考英语试卷本试卷分为第卷(选择题)和第卷（非选择题）两部分，满分120分，考试时间100分钟 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a。b。c和d）中，选出最佳选项 ado you find yourself pulling away from others, especially if youve experienced a crisis or deep disappointment? maybe the most difficult thing we can do is to be with people when we dont feel like being around anybody. a man who lost his wife to cancer found himself wanting to be alone . in time he dropped out of his community and cut all of the activities he and his wife had shared for many years. he increasingly kept to himself. he refused invitations from friends. his spare time was now spent watching tv. one friend came by to visit and invite him for supper the next evening. the two old friends sat in comfortable chairs by a warm fireplace. the visitor offered the dinner invitation and encouraged him to share his pain with others.the man said that he thought he was better off without being around other people. after all, others only seemed to remind him of all he had lost. “and besides,” he said. “its just too difficult to get out anymore.”they sat in silence fro a while, watching the wood burn in the fireplace. then the visitor did an unusual thing. he took tongs by the fireplace, reached into the fire, pulled out a flaming ember and laid it down by itself on the earth . “thats you,” he said. the men sat in silence watching the red-hot ember. it slowly lost its light. neither man looked away as the once-hot coal gradually changed into a black thing. after some moments, the man turned to his friend and said, “i get the message, my friend. ill be over tomorrow evening.” we cannot survive in any healthy way by ourselves. the leaf needs the branch. the branch needs the trunk. the trunk needs the roots. and the roots need the rest of the tree. we are connected. and in that connection life and vitality are found.1. what was the man s first reaction when his friend invited him for supper?a. he refused it politely.b. he would like to accept it .c. he hesitated and had no ideas.d. he wanted to drive his friend away.2 “the flaming ember”was used by the friend to_a show his sympathy for the man . b explain his understanding of life.c. compare to the mans present life. d. remind the man to add some wood3 . what message did the man get from the talk with his old friend? a time was limited for the living b true love lied in there peaceful life c life would be short if he was isolated d friendship would be more valuable later.4 it is implied in the last paragraph that _. a. everyone plays a key role in the world. b our health will break down if we live alone. c. one should combine his time with social activities. d . an individual cant live better without proper society. b australia is considering proposals to kill all the wild camels that roam the outback as part of its contribution to fighting global warming. the 1.2 million camels, considered pests by farmers and conservationists, each produce a methane equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide a year. that makes them collectively one of the australias biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. but if the government goes ahead, politicians will be braced for a backlash from animal lovers, who are already a powerful voice against annual kangaroo killing. tim moore, managing director of adelaide-based northwest carbon, a commercial company, proposed the extermination(消灭）idea to the government. he said: they live anywhere from 30 to 50 years in the wild and because theres 1.2 million of them ，their numbers and the gases they produce are doubling every nine years. the camels were brought to the country by afghan migrant workers in the 1800s to help with building roads and laying railroad tracks. under mr moores plan, which will see the government awarding carbon credits to individuals and organisations involved in the killingl, camels will be shot from helicopters or four-wheel-drive vehicles. others would be rounded up and sent to an abattoir（屠宰场）for either human or pet consumption. killing of camels that roam in the outback reaches of four states have been carried out before, but mr moores plan would involve wiping out every one of the creatures. mr moore said there were particularly great job opportunities for aborigines（土著居民） who joined in the project. mark dreyfus, parliamentary secretary for climate change, said the government was considering various proposals to reduce carbon pollution - including mr moores suggestion - to be included in canberras carbon farming initiative. without nuclear power, australia relies on coal to produce electricity, putting it among the worlds worst per capita（首要）polluters.5. what does the passage mainly tell us? a. australia is in great need of nuclear power. b. a good suggestion about environment protection. c. australia considers killing camels to fight global warming. d. various proposals to reduce carbon pollution.6 which of the following is true about camels? a. they are pests of australia ,because they are useless. b. they can live as old as 120years. c. they are native to australia like kangaroos d. they made a contribution to the building of roads and railways.7 the proposals to kill all the wild camels are_ a. practical b. humorous c. controversial d. interesting8 what has made australia become one of the worst per capita polluters in the world/ a. the pollution caused by wild camels. b. the use of nuclear power. c. the use of coal to produce electricity d. the climate change. c most people watching jeremy lin these past two months saw jeremy lin, new york knicks star; but i, watching him, saw someone else. that was my elder brother, bob, who is athletic and energetic. he could never sit still when he was in second grade; he had to get up every now and then and run around the room. and sure enough, he grew up to be a starting player for an n.c.a.a. championship lacrosse（长曲棍球）team. he was a nike-endorsed marathoner, too, and reached the top of mt. everest, unguided, in his 50s.and yet my family never watched his lacrosse games. we did watch some of his marathons, but that wasnt until he was in his 20s. when bob was in his glory days, our shanghainese-born parents were bent on getting him into medical school. there was a loving aspect to it: i can remember my father working through math books with him, lesson by lesson, at the big blackboard in the attic. bob never did become a doctor, though; and neither did i. it wasnt until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.bob today could be the fittest 58-year-old on the planet. his doctor estimates his biological age at 35; hes still climbing big mountains in the himalayas. and, like jeremy lin, hes charming. no one sees bob without leaving with a laugh. he sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building, and its true. to know him is to cheer for him.and yet my parents did not cheer for him. what if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics, like jeremy lins mother? what if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate? its hard not to wonder.and how did jeremy lins parents manage to do these remarkable things? amy chua, the tiger mother, recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a chinese word. how is it that jeremy lins immigrant father in particular, gie-ming lin, encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path? 9. :bobs glory days were those _ .awhen he was doing well in math bwhen he was in second grade cwhen he was made mayor of his building dwhen he showed his talents in sports 10. :from the passage we can tell that bob is _. aactive and optimistic bclever and determined cbrave and helpful dconsiderate and independent 11 :which of the following statements is probably true? abob was always ignored by his parents bbob could also have been a sport star. cbobs parents often watched his games. dnobody in the authors family was a doctor. 12 :from the last two paragraphs we can infer that _ .aparents should always study together with their children bparents should know how to educate their children properly cchildren should be punished when they do anything wrong dchildren should try to live up to the hopes of their parents d us president barack obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. he has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. the new law gives the us food and drug administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products. at a white house signing ceremony monday, obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday. obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadnt completely kicked the habit. every now and then he still smokes in secret. as a former smoker, i struggle with it all the time. do i still smoke sometimes? yes. am i a daily smoker, a constant smoker? no. obama said at a news conference.i don t do it in front of my ladsi don t do it in front of my familyi would say that i am 95% cured, but there are times when i mess up, he said once you go down this path, it s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so importantthe new law is not about me, it s about the next generation of kids coming upwhat we don t want is kids going down that path, he said nearly 20% of americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the united states due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases 13the new law makes life difficult for . aobama btobacco industry cwhite house dus food and drug administratio 14what do we know about obama?
