2016年5月达仁中学高三英语模拟试题 4(时间：100分钟；满分120分)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。AI was born an albino (白化病人) in Pennsylvania in 1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was and what it meant to be an albino.My family and friends treated me like everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when troubles came along, I could deal with them.Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, but the fact that I could hardly see didnt bother me that much.Kids would tease me, calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so that I could see it well enough. Even when I was eight, movie-theatre clerks started asking me to pay full price because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldnt play sports very well. I didnt give up trying, though. I shot hoops (投篮) every day. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college, I was double majoring, going to summer school and busying myself with every activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyesand in sports.I couldnt see very well to play sports, but with a solid education and a drive to do it, I could make a living involved in the area I loved. Ive done it now for over thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how Im the only “blind editor” they know, but the jokes are affectionate, some of them signs of respect.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence and be proud of my personal achievement.21. According to the author, _ helped him a lot in dealing with troubles.A. the special care from his family and friendsB. the sympathy from the publicC. the equal way his family and friends treated himD. his education in school22. All the following are the signs of being an albino for the author EXCEPT_.A. abnormally white skinB. poor eyesight C. an older appearancesD. his education in school23. The authors good education and strong motivation made him successful as a(an) _.A. sports editorB. Disc Jockey (DJ)C. printerD. IT engineer24. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the authors poor eyesight made him very upsetB. the author finally did well in playing sports after years of practiceC. many people laugh at the author because he attempts to do more than he canD. the author holds an optimistic attitude towards his illnessBIf youve ever had a dog, you know just how deep a connection you can develop with “mans best friend”. But a dog has a much shorter life spanabout 12 to 15 years longthan humans, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech is planning to introduce their business to UK dog owners, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high pricearound 63,000 (614,000 yuan). But if you cant afford it now, you can also save the cells in a laboratory and access them at a later date.Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exact same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian clone will be different, for example,” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian. However, as magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect replica of the original one.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clone-able”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both “random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome”, Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University, UK, told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back with cloning is not the best way to remember them after all. Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out: “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”25.According to the article, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation is _.A.working on plans to help dog owners enjoy their pets longer B. offering a way to help dogs give birth to more puppiesC. providing a service that will make copies of pet dogsD. introducing a completely new technique to clone dogs26.Which of the following statements about dog cloning is TRUE according to the article?A. Dog cloning technology hadnt been put into practice until recently. B. Dog cloning is very expensive and usually takes several months to complete.C. Dog cloning is very popular among US and UK pet owners.D. Cloned dogs might develop different habits and characteristics even though they look very similar.27. Which of the following shows the correct order of the dog cloning process?a. an egg is taken from another dogb.a skin cell is taken from the pet dog and saved in a laboratoryc.the egg is placed in the womb of a female dogd.the DNA of the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell e. the egg grows into a puppy in two monthsA. acbde B. adbceC. bacdeD. badce28. We can learn from the article that Kirkwood _ dog cloning.A.disapproves of B. supports C.is afraid of D. is curious aboutCIs beauty an advantages? Does it make the beautiful individual powerful? Does it result in better pay and opportunities in the workplace?Ten years ago, feminist author Naomi Wolf wrote about the beauty myth. “Beauty is a currency system like the gold standard,” she said.Wolf criticized societys obsession (顽念) with female beauty and challenged us to place more value on intelligence, complexity and humor.But television, newspaper and magazines are as beauty-obsessed as ever. How often do you see gray-haired woman presenters?The media may not be entirely to blame. According to an evolutionary psychological analysis, it is such a human nature for people to think that the constant bombardment (轰炸) of images of perfect modes creates unrealistic expectation of women. Davis Buss, Professor of the University of Texas, believes: that womens desire for beauty comes from mens mate preference. The results of his and other studies have led Buss to believe that, over evolutionary history, men have imposed their desire for attractiveness on women. This is because physical attractiveness is a clue to health and youth, and therefore fertility (生育).Nancy Etcoff, in her book “Survival of the Prettiest,” stated that beauty is no advantage to an ambitious woman. And there is evidence that they must hide their beauty in order to get ahead.“If all men were suddenly persuaded to value physical strength in a mate,” he has said, “and to be indifferent to other aspects of physical attractiveness, then women would, over time, compete with one another to build muscles.”The fashion industry, by its very existence, keeps an idealized imaged. But it is also the best place to learn the true value of beauty.In the real world, beauty is a marketing tool that can occasionally open doors and occasionally slam (使劲关门) them in your face.29. In the opinion of the author, the media _.A. should be entirely to blameB. plays an important role in creating unrealistic expectation of womenC. is now building the ideal images for both men and womenD. should guide us to change our attitude toward the beautiful female30.What is the most important factor that decides the womens desire for beauty according to Davis Buss?A. The womens strong desire to be equal to men.B. Mens preference.C. The womens strong desire to succeed.D. The medias obsession for the beauty.31. According to Nancy Etcoff, _.A. Beautiful women will achieve easier success.B. Beautiful women dont have to work hard to achieve success.C. Beautiful women sometimes find it harder to achieve success.D. Beautiful women usually have low intelligence quotient (IQ).32. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Beauty is really a great advantages to the women.B. Beauty sometimes is beneficial to women but sometimes not.C. Beauty is really beneficial to women but not to men.D. Beauty is usually an obstacle on your way to success.DGET YOUR DEGREE AT HOMEHave you ever wondered a Degree might be worth to you in your job or career?

Adults worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead.Young people make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that feel cut off from the adults world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world. 38 And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people very happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. 39 It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely unde your parents control. 40 If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will give you the right to do that you want to do. A. Parents should understand young people.B. Young people like to live with their parents.C. Young people like to act without much thinking.D. They say that their parents dont understand them.E. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.F. If you plan to control your life, youd better win your parents.G. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own.
