2017高考英语仿真卷（一）第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。AThere are an unbelievable number of reasons to go to Greece;just like there are an unbelievable number of things to do once a traveler arrives there.Here is a look at just some of the great historical things to see when vacationing in Athens,Greece.AgoraAgora lies in ruins now,but during its glory days it was a lively and active open marketplace where Greeks came to buy,sell,and exchange their goods and services.Agora has ties to common people of ancient Greece.Guided tours are available and there is also a small museum with many artifacts from this area on display.ParthenonOne of the most famous landmarks in Athens is the legendary Parthenon.This building is still today admired by architects who are appreciative of the decorative design,as well as the engineering involved in its construction.Those interested in history will be impressed beyond belief with the opportunity to see this historic structure up close and personal.TempleofOlympianZeusOne of the most impressive monuments to see up close is the Temple of Olympian Zeus.Many people see this monument from far away,or even from the window of a taxi,and never stop for a firsthand look themselves.This is a huge mistake as the size of it cannot truly be appreciated without visiting it up close.OdeumofHerodesAtticusBuilt into the hillside and providing a nice view of Athens is the Odeum of Herodes Atticus.This theater was constructed in the second century and was an important gathering place for both the upper and lower classes.It holds a little over 5,000 people,is located just below the Acropolis,and is still used for performances to this day.21.What did the ancient Greeks do in Agora?A.They did business.B.They toured around.C.They visited museums.D.They prayed for blessings.22.Who will show the most interest in Parthenon?A.Electrical engineers.B.Building designers.C.Ordinary visitors.D.Religious people.23.How can visitors fully appreciate the Temple of Olympian Zeus?A.By approaching it.B.By looking in the distance.C.By taking a birds-eye view.D.By seeing through a taxi window.24.In what way is Odeum of Herodes Atticus different from the others?A.It has great historical value.B.It has ties to common people.C.It is famous for its architecture.D.It still serves its original purpose.BMany young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time.But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years,and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent?It is a sad reality that people dont realize howvacillatingthe idea of beauty can be from one country to another.Think of the most typical American girl you know.Is she blonde haired with white skin and light blue eyes,and does she love shopping or sports?Now place this girl in the heart of Africa,where beauty is placed on what you can control.The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are,and how stylish their piercings(穿孔) are.This tribes culture is to be a brave fighter,so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong.If you dont look fierce,you are not beautiful.Other countries like DPRK and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty.In an interview,a woman who has lived in both DPRK and South Korea claims that beauty in DPRK is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife.She says that women in DPRK are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense.She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery.This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture.But dont you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?25.What does the underlined word “vacillating”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Inconsistent. B.Reasonable.C.Unusual.D.Similar.26.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes.A.getting dirty is stylishB.looking fierce is beautifulC.strong people cut their skinD.American girls love shopping27.According to the woman interviewed,women in DPRK now.A.care a lot about their appearanceB.put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC.pay great attention to their abilityD.are crazy about double eyelid surgery28.What does the text mainly tell us?A.Inner beauty is of great importance.B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D.Fashion magazines easily influence young people.CYears ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line,Albert.He said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he asked,lifting his leg.He was barefoot.He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadnt got around to it.I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.The next day,after work,I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks.I stuffed my trunk with them.That next morning,I set my alarm for 5 a.m.and drove over to Santa Monicas Palisades Park,which is a common destination for homeless people.I took one of the bags from my trunk.It was still darkout.I headed for a group of three men,standing around a tree,probably using it as a windbreaker.Two were asleep under heavy blankets,and the third was digging through his collection.As I walked toward him,he watched me,perhaps questioning my motives.“I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,”I said,handing him a pair.He looked confused at first but took them and said,“Thank you.”I gave him two more pairs for his friends.I moved on.An hour later,I had given out all the socks.Most people were sleeping,and I felt like Santa.I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.That was nine years ago.Every week Ill hand out as many socks as I can.If Im on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week,I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.Its extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar”to help make some peoples lives a little bit easier.Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days,but even if I dont,I like to think one of the pairs will find him.29.What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless?A.Alberts desire to get free socks.B.The approach of Christmas Day.C.His hard work at a homeless shelter.D.The conversation between him and Albert.30.Which is true about the author according to the passage?A.He believed it felt good to help the homeless.B.He went to Ross to buy a pair of socks for Albert.C.He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts.D.He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks.31.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Santa Claus brings Christmas giftsB.Kindness is rewarded with kindnessC.Every sock helps make somebodys dayD.Socks are passed on from hand to handDThe Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction.The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize,which was the name of the company that sponsored it,though it was better-known as simply theBooker Prize.In 2002,the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name,keepingBooker.Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize,but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted that they think should be included.Firstly,the Advisory Committee gives advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books.The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender(性别) and professions within the industry,so that a writer,a critic,an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society.However,when the panel of judges has been decided,they are left to make their own decisions.Meanwhile,the prize sponsor has no further right to take part in any more.The Man Booker judges include critics,writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably,in addition to the50,000 that comes with the prize.32.Who can submit books to the prize?A.Judges.B.Writers.C.Readers.D.Sponsors.33.Why is the prize named the Man Booker Prize?A.Because the prize is given to writers from the Commonwealth.B.Because the prize was known as simply theBooker Prize.C.Because the prize is sponsored by the Man Group and they kept the name.D.Because the prize is aimed to award the very best contemporary fiction.34.Which task can be done by the Advisory Committee?A.Changing the rules for the prize on their own.B.Selecting the judging committee.C.Making decisions on who is the winner.D.Submitting books for consideration for the prize.35.The consistent quality of the prizes is guaranteed by.A.the prize moneyB.the gender of the judgesC.the make-up of the panel of judgesD.the increase in sales of the winner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。Choosing the right college for you is not so easy.You should have a general idea of what you want and dont
