东台市三仓中学2016届高三英语自编练习7 一、完形填空：have you ever heard of the saying, “if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? the proverb is a piece of _1_ to make efforts towards perfection in whichever job one does. it could be a _2_task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like _3_ a business meeting in your later life . perfection is _4_ but attention to details. if it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt _5_from any angle. if your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皱痕）shows on the bed covers. there are _6_ two ways to do a job: either _7_ , or well. if you choose the latter path, you _8_ to realize that any job that qualifies as “your” work deserves nothing _9_ than your best. perfection is an _10_ that can be cultivated（培养）with just a little effort. it is a habit that _11_ one in good stead in later life. let us _12_ with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay _13_ , say, wildlife, for a school project. instead of writing carelessly a few _14_ that you already know, you could make the project more effective by _15_ reference books, encyclopedias or websites for additional information. you could then _16_ the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. if you make it a habit to _17_ extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult _18_ at the college or university level? _19_ michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once _20_it: trifles go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

year marks the 100th anniversary of leo tolstoys death. he is considered by many to be one of the greatest novelists of all time. much of the west is marking the anniversary with new translations of the authors works, including war and peace. movies are being released, including a black-and-white documentary and a feature film. in short, everyone is celebrating. everyone, that is, except for people in tolstoys home country, russia.the english newspaper the guardian reports that the russian government has scheduled nothing for november, the official anniversary of tolstoys death. the quiet is amazing, considering the importance of this mans contribution to global culture.“across the whole world there is a huge tolstoy boom,” andrei deryabin, co-producer of a new film about the authors final days titled the last station, told the guardian. hes esteemed(尊敬）everywhere apart from here (in russia).”experts explain the governments silence in various ways. some refer to tolstoys disagreement with state-backed religion. tolstoys christian views often fell out with those of the roman catholic church.his great-great grandson, vladimir ilyich tolstoy, thinks russias cool attitude has more to do with history and the authors positive worldview, after all, the last century was a difficult one for the countrys people. the darker writings of fyodor dostoevsky，he says, better fit the national character. tolstoy hopes that as russians grow more optimistic they will rediscover one of their own national treasures.“tolstoy gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking, he told the guardian. in this sense he gives more hope. i hope the 21st century is tolstoyan.41. the general idea of the first paragraph is that_.a.tolstoy is a greatest novelist of all the timeb.tolstoy is now more an idol than a national characterc.tolstoy has been forgotten by russian peopled.tolstoy is being remembered in most western countries42. we can infer from the article that_.a.experts hold the view that russian people think little of tolstoyb.western people believe tolstoy provides good solutions to todays issuesc.it is tough for us to remain positive in hard economic timesd.tolstoys worldview didnt suit the russians in the last century43. the underlined phrase “fell out with in the 4th paragraph is probably closest in meaning to“_ ” a. be in conflict withb. be similar toc. be in harmony withd. stand out44. according to vladimir ilyich tolstoy, the russian government didnt arrange activities to celebrate the anniversary_.a.because of tolstoys disagreement of state-backed religionb.because of tolstoys values and historical factorsc.because fyodor dostoevsky gives more hope to russiad.because russians have become more optimisticbbright red post boxes, the queen and queuingwhat do they all have in common? they are all part and parcel(重要部分）of british life. or so i thought.however, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the british, is no longer tolerated by people in the uk, according to a survey done for british bank barclays.once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. during the second world war, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods. in fact，if you didnt stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as uncivilized.the famous english double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. almost always, there is a queue to get on.but perhaps the british are tired of being pushed past by the spanish, the italians or the french as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. the people of these other european countries have more than one entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.two minutes is now the longest time most british people are prepared to stand and wait. but could it be that the internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why british people are no longer prepared to queue?“used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn, says stuart neal of barclaycard. “shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value.perhaps i will have to replace queuing with impatience in my list of things i associate with the british.45. what can we learn about the tradition of queuing in britain from the article?a.it was once considered a symbol of a civilized behavior among the british.b.it is what makes britain different from other european countries.c.it was a product of the slow pace of life in old times.d.it is a long time tradition as old as the queen.46. according to the article, the british gradually stopped queuing partly because_.a.they prefer shopping online to going to the shopsb.they follow the example of foreigners in britainc.the use of the internet has changed their way of lifed.british buses now have more than one entrance47. according to the article, the british are less likely to queue for long when they wait to_a. get a table in a restaurantb. buy apples in a greengrocersc. get on double-decker busesd. pay for low cost shopping48. what is the authors main aim in this article?a.to list some things that she associates with the british.b.to introduce the change in queuing in britain.c.to express her approval of changes in the british way of life.d.to complain about the british losing patience.ctwo chinese farmers who became an overnight sensation(轰动)when their heart-rending version of a famous pop song appeared on the internet took to the stage in front of thousands of fans in shanghai last saturday.wang xu, 44，and liu gang, 29, sang “in the spring alongside the songs star composer wang feng, in front of about 80,000 people at the shanghai stadium.the audience buzzed with excitement and let out deafening cheers, the moment as they were introduced on the stage and then when liu started the first sentence of their parts of the song.the two migrant workers became stars after singing the tearjerker(催人泪下的）song during an evening drinking session in a 6-square-meter rented room in a late august evening. a friend recorded the performance on a cell phone and posted it on the internet.“if someday i am dead, please bury me in the spring, they sing. wangs penetrating chorus, delivered with his eyes closed, has moved thousands to tears.wang and liu consider the song a true portrait of lower-class groups like themselves. with no credit card, no girlfriend, or a home with hot water, but only a guitar, i am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, though nobody pays attention to the music, they sing.to support his wife and two sons, wang came to beijing in 2000 from the countryside and has worked as a boiler man, and street peddler, before becoming a medical warehouse keeper, with a monthly pay of around 1,500 yuan. little is left after he pays 600 yuan for rent and buys food.liu came to beijing in 2002. “i wanted to try my luck in the big city，he said. he had worked as a guard, roadside peddler, and porter, but never had a stable job. street performing was his main income, even after he married and became a father three years ago.wang and liu are still uncertain where their fame will lead. wang has started learning to use a computer. they even have a microblog(微博）account to communicate with fans.49. wang xu and liu gang first became nationally known after_.a.they sang the song “in the spring with a star composer wang fengb.the video of them singing “in the spring was posted on the internetc.they sang on streets and under bridges d.they started their microblog50. people like

nowadays, more companies are accepting working from home as a practical choice. if youd like to work from home , use the following statements to convince your boss that youll be just as , if not more, productive at home as you will be in the office. firstly, you cannot distract（使分心） colleagues when working at home . a recent survey of 800 job seekers looking for work-from home jobs found that the number one reason they wanted a work-from-home job was to avoid distracting their colleagues, but not to have more time for their families or to save on costs like business clothes, lunches out, and gas. when you work at home, you can remove this major distraction and devote all your attention to your work. secondly, it can control how often youre interrupted. a study by the university of california, irvine found that workers are interrupted every three minutes, and that it takes more than 20 minutes to get back to the task after an interruption. half the time , were self-interrupting (checking emails, listening to talk radio, etc.), but the other half of the time, were interrupted by outside forces- loud noises, colleagues stopping by our desks, other peoples conversations in the office, etc. we can cut back on 50%of the interruption by working from home. thirdly, it takes less sick time and fewer personal days. people who are sick enough to call in sick tend to keep working if they can work from home. were not saying this is the healthiest practice, but its the reality of what happens, especially if the sickness is only a slight cold or stomach bug. working from home is a win-win situation for you and your employers because youre still working , and you arent passing your germs (病菌) along to your colleagues. of course, it works the other way around as well. if youre working from home regularly, youre not exposed to illnesses from your colleagues as well. in addition, it can make you more productive. last year, stanford university tracked the productivity of 250 employees who worked from home for nine months, as compared to those working in the office, and the results weighed heavily in the favor of those working from home. the employees who worked from home worked 11% more hours than the office-bound workers and their overall productivity was 4% higher than that of the office-bound workers. of course, how productive you are when working from home depends a lot on you, the employee. how do you work without supervision? are you self-disciplined or good at self-management? can you avoid temptations like television, napping and shopping in the middle of the day? some people prefer the office environment because it provi
