2011-2012学年度高三英语限时训练23一完形填空（30分） I was said to be the worst student and my family thought it would be a wonder if I ever passed the exam, and I believed it. I was repeating class six when, Miss Sadia 1 our school. She was only 20 years old, but her intelligence was far beyond her actual 2 .One day I was sitting in my classroom during our lunch break, as I was used to staying alone. Miss Sadia 3 that and she called me over to her desk and began to talk to me. It was just a 4 conversation. After that day she gave particular 5 to me and it made me feel special. My grades started to 6 and I began to feel happier. It gave me the 7 that someone believed in me. With her constant support, I came second in the class and was 8 to monitor. However, after class seven she started to slowly drift away but did keep a constant check on me. By the time I was in class nine we 9 spoke to each other but by then I had changed for the better. I passed the exam and left my school. I was out of her 10 but I studied harder and harder. I knew I could do it as she had implanted her 11 and confidence deep inside me. One fine day, I met her at a wedding. I ran to her and 12 her with tears in my eyes like a child. I could not held asking her, “why did you stop 13 me?”She held my hand and said, “ I wanted you to be 14 and to take control of your life, to be a tree standing on your own roots, not relying on others, and today I am 15 you. You are your own inspiration and do not look for a shoulder.” I could not say anything but smiled as I knew that she was my inspiration, and would always he.1Aleft Bvisited Cjoined Dfound2Aage Bappearance Cfigure Dstrength3Arealized Blearnt Cnoticed Dgot4Anormal Bserious Clong Dfamiliar5Afood Battention Cadvice Dhope6Ashow Bcome Cimprove Dcatch7Aattitude Bfeeling Cidea Dreason8Aconfirmed Bconsidered Cchanged Dpromoted9Ahardly Bnever Calways Dsometimes10Atrouble Btouch Csight Dcontrol11Aknowledge Blove Ctrust Dhonesty12Athanked Btold Cmet Dhugged13Aanswering Bbelieving in Ccheering up Dtalking to 14Arealistic Bindependent Cshocked Dsurprised15Astrict with Bfond of Cproud of Danxious about二语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） Two summers ago I went to Changdao, a small island near Yantai. During the night, I heard strange baby-like 16 (cry). Islanders told me 17 was stray (迷路的；离群的) cats that were calling in the wild. Well, it was strange to me to see so many stray cats on such a small island. So I asked the locals 18 more details. Then they told me 19 surprising and sad story. The island is isolated in the sea and originally had no cats. Ten years ago, when the island was developed 20 a national park, tourists began to swarm in. These visitors from all parts of the country brought in money, but the rubbish they left 21 (draw) more and more rats onto the island. Islanders therefore introduced the cats in order to get rid of the rats. _22 when the number of rats decreased, the number of cats increased, and the cats began to prey on birds, chickens, and fish. For more than a month after that, my mind was haunted (回响) by the plaintive crying. So now, 23 I travel, I always hear in mind what I should bring in, 24 I dont want to bring anything that is strange, unneeded or even 25 (danger) to my destination.三阅读理解（20分）ASomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website youve visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, its likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen - the 21st century replacement of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is no.When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away, and that bothers me.But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series oftests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。But privacy does matter - at least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.26. What does the author mean by saying the 21st century replacement of being caught naked?A. Peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B.

Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.28. Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret？ A. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others affairs.D. Many search engines benefit from giving away peoples identities.29. What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions(交易).C.

According to the passage, privacy is like health because _.A. people will make every effort to keep it.B. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lost D. people dont treasure it until they lose itBMen have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.The studys participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.One of the studys authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground., the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors womens steady approach.31. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that _. A. man are smarter then women B. man are more stupid the women C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been foundD. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees32.

Women are steadier in their learning.B. men are more ready to take risk in everythingC. women are securing more firsts and seconds D. women are doing much better in academy55.
