2012-2013高三英语限时训练（五）一、完形填空（时间：10分钟）Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that its fun to share with others a lesson I needed to 2 myself as well, as it 3 .One evening Danae had 4 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a childrens card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, Id like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. Theyre her favorites.”She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 that I didnt want her to give them away because then our 6 wouldnt be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 7 . I thought perhaps she didnt understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 8 . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you cant 9 them back tomorrow.”A look of 10 came over Danaes face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 11 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, thats okay; I want her to have them anyway.” What could I say to that? I sat 12 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 13 that our Go Fish set would be 14 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 15 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy.

The animals_2_(live) in and around lakes and rivers must also have clean water. Our rivers and lakes supply most of our water. The clear, blue water found by the first American settlers has changed. Many of our water sources are now_3_(pollute). They are filled_4_dirt and waste which cannot be cleaned out. In many places, water is not safe for us to use.Lake Erie was once a beautiful lake. Now it has been called “a_5_(die) lake”. Waste from nearby homes and factories has been dumped into_6_. Fish can no longer live in much of its polluted water. George Washington once called the Potomac “_7_finest river in the world”. Now its water is no longer blue. _8_, it is soupy green. Suds(肥皂泡沫), from detergents(洗涤剂；洗衣粉)used to wash clothes, often cover the water of our rivers.Water cannot_9_(make) in a factory. Once water is polluted, it is difficult to make it clean and safe again. We must learn to take care of the water_10_we now have.三、阅读理解（时间：10分钟） AIn Europe, people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:(1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.(2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）.They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.(3) Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence（无知）of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）.However, such alertness（警觉） is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）.( )46 Americans use _ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right hand B. the left handC. both hands D. either of the two hands( )47. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England( )48.In the sentence, the word “juggle” probably means _.A. hold B. play with C. pick up D. lay down( )49.Also in the last sentence, the two “them” refer to _.A. Americans B. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separately D. Europeans and Americans separately( )50. Which of the following statements i
