甘肃省嘉峪关市酒钢三中2020届高三英语上学期第二次模拟考试试题第卷（共70分，请将答案涂在机涂卡上）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)AUK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study abroad. However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study and live in. Tuition fees have now reached 9,250 ayear and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options.Tianjin UniversityMoving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around 400 amonth and tuition fees are 2,300 ayear. Flights will cost 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at 28,800, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the worlds latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.University of AmsterdamThe Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of 1,800 ayear make it significantly cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelors degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.University of MilanThe University of Milan s fees range from 140 to 3,650 ayear. The one bachelors degree offered entirely in English-Political Science is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.1. What is probably the total cost of a three-year degree in Britain?A. 14,400 B. 27,750 C. 28,800 D. 57,6002. Where can you major in Political Science?A. London and Tianjin. B. Amsterdam and London.C. Amsterdam and Milan. D. Tianjin and Milan.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To encourage people to study abroad.B. To introduce some affordable universities.C.

Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火) in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she washungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryans situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “Im hungry. Lets have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention, or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.4. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryans story?A. Emma didnt like Ryan.B. Ryan didnt want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didnt want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasnt pleased with Ryans answer.5. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A. Different cultures.B. Different characteristics.C. Different ways of communicating.D. Different educational background.6. Compared with women, men _.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD. are better at building relationships7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCSo many of us hold on to little resentments(怨恨) that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to usbelieving this is the only way we can forgive orrekindlea friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, whose health isnt very good, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. Youll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.8. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. RecoverB. developC. acceptD. replace9. According to the passage, the authors friend never spoke to her son for three years because _.A. she had a bad health.B. she had disagreed about her sons marriage.C. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-law.D. she had disliked her sons wife for many years.10. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.11. The purpose ofthe passage is to _.A. instruct the readers how to apologize.B. teach the readers how to gain inner peace.C. inform the readers the importance of being forgiving.D. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.DPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours arent necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun , see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They dont take the place of any of the old ways.12. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writers joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet13.

Heres how to do it1Be objective about the criticismBefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other persons opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively. Next time you get a bad review, dont immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate.172Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to takeIn your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself.183Be open to the idea of change19And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that can prevent us from changing even when thats what we need most4Ask questionsIf youre open to using the criticism as a springboard(跳板) to improvement, you will likely need more information. 20Your emotions will be tiding high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra informationHowever, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized youEven if you dont agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider itAMost of us are pretty stubbornBThere is no doubt that change is necessaryCBut its best to avoid getting into an argumentDBeing sensitive to criticism leads you nowhereEIt challenges the way you believe people see youFGive yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate itGThe initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness, but what theygot was only annoyance, grief and misery.So they_21_Socrates (苏格拉底) for advice on where happiness_22_.
