呼和浩特市第二中学2016届 英语高考模拟试卷 ‎ 考试时间：2016.5‎ 第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。‎ A When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.‎ I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.‎ Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.‎ For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.‎ It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.‎ Ian has been with me since I was six years old.Holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.‎ ‎21. Which of the following is not true according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Bedtime used to be the writer’s favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.‎ ‎ B. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian. ‎ ‎ C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.‎ ‎ D. Uncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.‎ ‎22. The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.‎ ‎ A. he could understand her B. he was a fashionable monkey ‎ C. he was her most honest listener D. he could talk with her ‎23. We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.‎ ‎ A. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up ‎ B. maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility ‎ C. keeping stuffed animals is babyish ‎ D. human beings should be kind to animals ‎24. We can infer from the text that _________.‎ ‎ A. he writer is now a middle-aged woman B. the writer is still a teenager ‎ C. Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone D. Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face B Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes When you get in your car, you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.‎ Cigarettes?Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.‎ With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away. In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors（顾问） in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.‎ The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality.‎ Sounds extreme, but we've all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him.‎ Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?‎ Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke‎ ‎University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents. "Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says.‎ If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.‎ ‎25. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?‎ A. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to.‎ B. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes.‎ C. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes.‎ D. Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes.‎ ‎26. The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means __________.‎ A. Rescue B. ignore C. develop D. control ‎ ‎27. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that________.‎ A. women use cell phones more often than men B. talking on the phone while driving is dangerous C. cell phones do not necessarily bring people together ‎ D. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy C ‎ Most people looking for ways to quit smoking worry about weight gain, and with good reason. Smokers who quit tend to pack on an average of 5 pounds after they stop smoking cigarettes. A new study, published by the journal Science, explains why this happens.‎ ‎ The new research explains that nicotine appears to combine with appetite-regulating neurons (调节食欲的神经元) in the brain, besides the receptors (感受器) that bring about addiction. These neurons help regulate how much food gets consumed, but under the influence of nicotine, they lose their self-control. This is why when smokers quit, they tend to eat more and gain weight.‎ ‎ The researchers believe that their discovery will lead to the development of drugs that aim at nicotine receptors on brain cells that control appetite. In the future, weight gain may no longer be a reason for smokers to delay the decision to kick the habit, but that’s no reason to wait. Nicotine-replacement treatment, while not for everyone, can help. Here are a few more ways to quit smoking and stay slim.‎ ‎ Drink water. To improve metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates, make half of those glasses ice water. Juice can be too high in calories, something you’ll want to keep an eye on your journey toward being a slimmer non-smoker. Plan your snacks. Healthy snacks help keep your metabolism working, so you continue to burn calories while stopping wild hunger pain, or fake hunger. ‎ ‎ Keep moving. Exercise kills two birds with one stone. It helps you burn calories and prevents you from eating when you’re not truly hungry. It’s also a feel-good stress reliever (缓解物). Focus on your fitness and how being healthy makes you feel. Make exercise a goal and think of quitting as your reward for being physically fit.‎ ‎28. Which of the following changes people’s appetite according to the new research?‎ A. Appetite-regulating neurons.‎ B. Nicotine.‎ C. The receptors that bring about addiction.‎ D. The food that has been consumed.‎ ‎29. By saying “but that’s no reason to wait” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ______.‎ A. some new drugs are going to be developed soon B. nicotine-replacement treatment cannot help everyone C. some ways to quit smoking while staying slim are available ‎ D. losing weight shouldn’t be an excuse for smoking ‎30. The author believes that ______.‎ A.exercise can help one eat less B. smokers should eat fewer snacks to keep slim C. stress can lead to fake hunger D. ice water can improve metabolic rates ‎31. The purpose of the text is ______.‎ A. to tell us ways to quit smoking without gaining weight B. to explain the reason why smokers become slim C. to prove the possibility of being a slim non-smoker D. to introduce the result of a new study D ‎ TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) England runs TEFL courses for ‎ English-speaking people wishing to teach English abroad.

Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 36 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.‎ First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 37 Howeve r, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.‎ ‎__38 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. ‎ ‎ 39 ‎ The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.‎ Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 40 ‎ A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.‎ B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.‎ C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.‎ D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!‎ E. The second reason lies in the reluctance (不愿) of using what has just been learned.‎ F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.‎ G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.‎ 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30 分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ One young person, who was well educated, went for a job as a manager in a big company.
