Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
(A)
At thirteen, I was diagnosed with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When __25__ else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and sai d, ―Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I __26__ not be able to do it.‖
She glanced down at me through her glasses, ―you are no different from your classmates, young man.‖
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time__27__ the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. __28__, he invented a__29__ (read) system of raised dots, __30__ opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the ―blind‖ in my class, being made __31__ (learn) like the ―sighted‖ students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quit e a surprise when it came back to me the next day with __32__ ―A‖ on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: ― See what you can do when you keep trying?‖
B
Take five Chinese teachers, put them in a British classroom with fifty students for four weeks of Chinese-style education and what do you get? You get the BBC TV series Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School.
The series__33__(design) as a competition between Chinese-style education and British-style education. At the end of the four weeks, the fifty students __34__(teach) by the Chinese teachers were tested against the rest of their 13- and 14-year-old Year 9 classmates at Bohunt, one of the best schools in England, to see __35__ group got the best marks. To almost everyone’s surprise, especially Bohunt’s
head teacher’s, the Chinese-taught group scored ten percent higher in all subjects, including Math, Science and Mandarin.
That outcome wasn’t obvious at the beginning of the experiment. __36__ the students liked some parts of the Chinese system, like the outdoor morning exercises, they were not happy with the long school day—five hours longer than the British school day—and, in class, they quickly became bored with the ―chalk-and-talk‖ Chinese style of teaching. British-style education__37__ (involve) more classroom activities and class discussions. As a result, there were discipline problems with some students and the Chinese teachers became frustrated.
But, eventually, the students began to respond to the Chinese teachers. The teachers were clear in their explanations and clear about__38__ they expected from the students. Many students liked the idea __39__ they were being challenged to perform better and they felt they were really learning. At the end of the four weeks, the students expressed their gratitude to the Chinese teachers and many cried when they said their goodbyes.
One thing is certain, though. The TV series proved that Chinese teachers are among the
__40__ __40__ (qualify) and dedicated in the world. They deserve our admiration and respect.
Section B 10%
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Students Honor 9/11 Through Volunteering
In the days after Sept. 11, 2001, thousands poured into Ground Zero to lend their hands in one of the largest recovery efforts in American history. Now, 12 years later, colleges are finding ways to channel the same__41__ into service projects in their own communities on September 11th.
"9/11 is such an__42__ touchstone for our country, I think people want to find ways to do something, and students as well," says Kevin Kruger, president of the student affairs group. "The idea of giving something back to the __43__ ties in well to the emotional significance of that."
Though no corner of the country was untouched by the terrorist attacks, they especially rocked New York University on 9/11. Less than two miles from Ground Zero, students__44__ the plane-on-tower impact from their dorm rooms. The university coordinated shelters and counseling in the days afterward.
Because of this, NYU public affairs director Philip Lentz says the volunteer work the students do
this week has a "special relevance." Students today__45__ at a rescue mission, wrote cards for soldiers and veterans and made donations for the families of victims and first responders on 9/11.
"NYU feels it has a special __46__ to offer this service opportunity to students that are here so they can give back to the community that was so devastated by the attacks," Lentz says.
Similar deeds have been taking place in George Washington University in Washington, D.C. "For the past five years at GW, freshmen have boarded buses immediately after their official welcome __47__ in early September to head for the nation's financial capital and volunteer in__48__ that aid the environment, education, veterans and community organizations," says Amy Cohen, the university's director for civic engagement and public service.
"We hope that students will learn that community __49__ is part of how we build strong communities and a vibrant __50__ society," Cohen wrote in an e-mail to USA TODAY. "We ask students to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and to use this day as a way to show civic engagement and community building."
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A 15%
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Women, I have always felt, are the backbone of the world. Only they have the __51__ and means to bring the miracle of life to Earth. Throughout history, they have been the caretakers and nurturers. Women work alongside men in the fields, in the factories, in the offices and then__52__ home—not to put their feet up in front of the television like their husbands, but to set dinner on the table and
__53__their families.
There is nothing women cannot __54__
I won’t debate that women are superior to men or inferior to men. I’ll simply say that to be a woman is one of the greatest honors that can be accorded to a person. To be a woman is to be blessed with the natural__55__, understanding, and supernatural love of a mother. To be a woman is to be simultaneously strong and soft in body. To be a woman is to have the possibility of being __56__.
There is nothing women cannot deal with. Women today need to realize that. Especially in today’s first world societies where women__57__ receive equal rights as men, women need only to make the most of their talents and assets in order to get what they want . And if they set their minds on something and fully strive for it, the sky is the __58__.
Women were born tailored for__59__
It doesn’t matter what a woman’s particular talent is. If she is skilled with a pencil and paper, she can become a famous author or a successful journalist. If she is handy with math, she can become the CEO
of a big investment company. If she has a flair for drama, she can become the next Gong Li. If she has a knack for chemicals and equations, she can discover a __60__for cancer. If her best asset is her friendly personality, she can become a popular talk show host. If she is simply very __61__, she can be the new cover model of Vogue. All very different scenarios, but all successes.
Every woman was born tailored for accomplishment, no matter what their talents are. __62__, the talent isn’t even visible—but it’s definitely there. Women must simply remember that they are capable forces to be reckoned with and that they have a right to participate in the activities of the world. They must be forceful, determined, and assertive. They cannot shy back and accept the minor jobs that men don’t __63__ and leave for them. If women want to be kindergarten teachers, that’s wonderful. Kindergarten teachers are important and __64__ members of the community. If women want to stay at home and simply be mothers, that’s fantastic. Being a mother is one of the hardest careers in the world. __65__ it is vital that they understand that they are not limited to these options.
As long as women are aware that anything is theirs for the taking, there should be no stopping them.

(B)
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interests in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get started. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences and to develop social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet those needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivation of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of opportunity given, some schools have launched volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. ―I volunteer because it’s important to me.‖) to an external factor (e.g. ―I volunteer because I’m prepared to do so.‖) When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activity a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfactions as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not support you, it leads to important practical advice. The
researchers note that attention should be given to ―training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they experience.‖Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view ―volunteer‖ as an important social role. It was estimated that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also assumed be more likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which social role matters by responding to statements such as ―V olunteering at hospitals is an important part of who I am.‖ Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they focused a positive cohesion(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the lengths of time people contributed to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice. ―Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role id entity.‖ Items I like T-shits that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity.
70. People volunteer mainly out of__________.
A. academic requirements
B. social expectations
C. financial rewards
D. internal needs
71. What can we learn from Florida study?
A. Follow up studies should last for one year.
B. V olunteers should get mentally prepared.
C. V olunteer training is a must in research.
D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.
72. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A. individual differences in role identity.
B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirt.
C. Role identity as a volunteer.
D. Practical advice from researchers.
73. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to get people to volunteer
B. How to study volunteer behaviors
C. How to keep volunteers’ interest
D. How to organize volunteers’ activities
(C)
1.While awareness and mastery of skills are important steps in any learning process, it is only when conscious skills are put to work that you will experience the involvement and excitement that accompany personal growth. The infant mimicking sounds, the youngster practicing to ride his bicycle, the teenager learning to drive, the adult preparing to buy a house—all experience a good deal of anticipation, but the anticipation pales next to the excitement of first communicating verbally of riding a bicycle solo or taking that first drive or moving into that first home. In other words, social interaction is the highest degree of personal involvement, the logical peak experience towards which awareness and mastery lead.
2. More than any other experience it is social interaction by which a person defines, expands, and
develops his own personality. Therefore, the more involved you are, the more experiences you have, the greater will be the actualization of your personality. If, for example, you are an active person in your community, your personality will express this activity by its positive and outgoing nature. If, on the other hand, you are passive, merely allowing yourself to be acted upon without any involvement in the day-to-day activities of your community, you risk boredom and dullness. Much has been written about the ―mass man‖ and about the inability of the average citizen to affect his own destiny. Involved persons are not mass men or passive citizens.
3. Involvement in your community means developing your community and yourself by direct and relevant interaction. Since this interaction could involve you in any and all of the functions of your community, we suggest here that you select for your involvement activities which are most meaningful to you. You might consider your future career plans, hobbies, or educational interests as guides for your decision. For once you begin to be involved in your community and once you experience your own growth in self-awareness through community awareness, you may very well find social interaction a life-time project, regardless of where your community may be or how it may change.
74. The underlined words“pales next to” in the first paragraph most probably means_______.
A. is associated with
B. is most likely to
C. is next to
D. is less important than
75. Which of the following is characteristic of an active person.
A. Being involved in social interaction.
B. Risking boredom and dullness.
C. Allowing oneself to be acted upon.
D. Thinking passively all the time.
76. According to the author, involvement in a community should be ______.
A. suggestive
B. selective
C. comprehensive
D. decisive
77. What would the author most probably write in the paragraph to follow?
He may ___________________________________________________.
A. tell us the difference between active citizen and passive ones
B. define the name of social interaction and ―mass man‖
C. give us some advice on how to be involved in social interaction
D. explain why awareness helps actual ize one’s personality
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
What’s the secret to holding your breath?
How long can you hold your breath? I’m trying it right now. The first 30 seconds are easy. I want to give up at 45 seconds but I continue and it gets easier for a while. But, as I go past one minute, my heart is pounding. I breathe out a tiny bit and this helps. One minute and 12 seconds. I’m quite impressed with myself.
In some sports, it is very important to be able to hold your breath, particularly in freediving. In 2006, I met Sam Amps, who was captain of the UK freedive team. At a swimming pool in Bristol, she
taught me some simple ways to help me hold my breath for longer while swimming underwater. By the end of the session, I could hold my breath for 90 seconds, long enough to let me swim across the pool. Sam swam across the pool three times easily. She could hold her breath for five minutes, while swimming. Five minutes!
I asked how she did it: very slow breathing for several minutes before each dive, then a big, deep breath before diving in.
Our heart rate doesn’t slow down when we hold our breath. At least, it doesn’t if you’re doing it on land. When you’re under cold water, the heart rate slows down in most people. This change in our bodies is useful in diving – but it is even more useful for not drowning.
Holding our breath is becoming very useful in one particular area of medicine. Radiotherapy for breast canc er involves pointing radiation exactly at the tumor. It’s usually done in short periods, between breaths. But, if the patient can hold their breath for several minutes, it means that doctors can give the complete radiation dose, in the right place, all at the same time. The problem, of course, is that most people cannot hold their breath for several minutes. But doctors at University Hospital Birmingham have shown that, if patients are given air with extra oxygen before holding their breath, they can hold it for five-and-a-half minutes.
Surprisingly, to achieve this you have to fool the diaphragm (横膈膜). When you breathe in, you’re pulling the muscle of your diaphragm flat so that the volume of your chest increases – this pulls the air into your lungs. When you hold your breath, you keep your diaphragm like that. If you breathe extra oxygen before a breath-hold, as in the Birmingham radiotherapy experiments, you may be able to stop the diaphragm from becoming tired too quickly. So, it’s your diaphragm, the ma in muscle of breathing, that is in charge when you are holding your breath. But, in the end, even if you’ve fooled it for a while, the signals from the diaphragm become too strong and you have to give up – and take a breath.
78. According to the author _________ is the name of the sport in which people swim underwater while
holding their breath.
79. From what Sam Amps is doing, we know that she is a______________.
80. Why is holding breath becoming very useful in radiotherapy for breast cancer?
81. The purpose of the trick to holding your breath for a long time is to _________________.

2016高三英语模拟考试 II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. (A) Once just a science fiction idea, VR has now become more accessible than ever. (25) _________ (wear) a pair of VR goggles connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of the room. From climbing (26) _________ (high) mountain in the world to flying a spacecraft, the things you can experience with VR are limitless. This new 'reality ' is starting to takeover China. The Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior was released on March 18 during the 12th TFC Global Mobile Game Conference & Intelligent Entertainment Expo held in Beijing. The report is based on a survey of 5,626 people, (27) _________ (age) between 15 and 39, from across the country. It shows that up to 68.5 percent of people have heard of or are interested in VR products. But surprisingly, it isn't new technology that has made VR so popular. 'VR has been (28) _________ for many years, but it will stick this time because there's enough computer power and the price will just keep going down,' Todd Richmond, a VR group member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the US, told USA Today. VR (29) _________ (expect) to change various different fields. For example, VR could be used to train pilots and miners before they had to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments, or to treat patients with acrophobia(恐高症）by making them think they were standing on top of a high building. 'If you have perfect virtual reality, (30) _________ you'll be able to simulate everything that a human can experience or imagine experiencing,it's hard to imagine where you go from there,' Palmer Luckey, 23 inventor of the Oculus VR goggles, told NPR. But the technology is still far from perfect. Users report experiencing motion sickness, headaches and other discomfort while wearing VR goggles. Also, (31) _________ more and more tools are flooding the market, the software that runs VR games and simulators has yet to catch up with all the new advancements. It could take (32) _________ while for VR to be widely accepted. When every new technology is first introduced, the technology (33) _________ is the driving force. But for it to really blend into people's lives, meeting basic and practical needs should be the main aim. (B) It has become the talk of the town: A stranger allegedly attacked a woman in a Beijing hotel at night on April 3. The man is said to have clutched her by the neck and attempted to drag her into the elevator. Lodgers passed by, but no one tried to intervene until one woman did. Her actions are believed to (34) _________ (save) the victim from whatever was going to happen to her. The incident has pushed the risks of solo traveling into the spotlight. Online forums like Sina Weibo (35) _________ (flood) with advice for how women (36) _________ protect themselves
III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.

Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp (21) you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and had the volunteers’ memory and thinking skills (22) (assess)through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months (23) (take) the same sorts of tests. Those who (24) (hold)mentally stimulating, demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function (25) a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants’ overall health status. “This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a long run, you may feel like you’re in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work — sure, you will feel tired, (27) it can help your brain stay healthy. ” It’s not just corporate jobs, or even paid work (26) can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter’ s job, for example, (28) ( require) multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调）,” she says. “You (29) _______ ________organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.” Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons — including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge (30) mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. 【答案】 21. as 22. assessed23. to take 24.had held25. at26. that 27. but28.requiring 29. have to30. yourself 【难度】中等
