第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.
After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent (月状的) structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.
The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.
The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas (小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts (桩柱) in the water.
The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.
More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.
Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubai’s status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.
56. According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT___________.
A. Some Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea.
B. The islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea.
C. All the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold.
D. The World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeriah.
57. The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means___________.
A. holds back B. makes easier C. slows down D. leads to
58. What is the passage written for?
A. To introduce the wonderful artificial islands.
B. To show how to build artificial islands.
C. To offer a travel service for tourists.
D. To prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world.
B
IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business—IKEA.
IKEA’s name comes from Kamprad's initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (‘E’and ‘A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.
Kamprad’s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.
IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line.Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.
In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.
In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.
Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.
59. The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging___________.
A. needs large space to assembly furniture B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad
C. helps reduce transportation costs D. makes the company self-sufficient
60. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in the world.
B. IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer.
C. The advantage of IKEA’s furniture is dissembling.
D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.
61. What is the author’s attitude towards IKEA’s future according to the last paragraph?
A. Indifferent B. Optimistic C. Doubtful D. Pessimistic
62. The passage is developed primarily in terms of ___________.
A. order of events B. analysis of a process
C. examples that illustrate(阐释) a problem D. comparison and contrast
C
Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn’t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.
“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.
Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.
“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”
63. According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ________years.
A. seven B. eight C. ten D. six
64. According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Robots are prepared for the settlement for humans.
B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.
C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.
D. The equipment is ready for humans to land on Mars.
65. The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. very large B. very small C. medium D. average
66. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
A. Ready for a Round Trip to Mars B. Ready for a Short Visit to Mars
C. Ready for a One-way Trip to Mars D. Ready for a Walk on Mars
D
Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”
67. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.
A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
68. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.
A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank
D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
69. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.
B. The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.
C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.
D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.
70. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?
A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.
B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.
D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.
Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.
But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.
A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
Title: Summer Vacation
Theme A long summer vacation isn’t 71 in today’s world.
Basic Information 72 length 13 weeks in most American schools
Students’ 73 •Sending messages and watching TV
•Playing video games
•Doing shopping
Disadvantages •74 student’s academic skills and putting academic futures at risk.
•Being a 75 to families for they have to watch kids.
•Hurting students’ academic achievement and resulting in 76
significant ground.
Suggestion A longer school year does not have to 77 to hard boring work. Richer and more imaginative lessons should be 78 , such as athletics, languages, music and the arts.
79 Though being a ground thing, summer vacation might be out of
80 in the 21st century.

“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.
“How old are you?” asked the teacher.
“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.
“Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.
There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age. When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.
Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life. The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others. Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others. If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.
It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit. We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character. Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river. The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.

One possible version：
The author tells us that habits are formed when we are young and we should try to develop good habits, for they benefit us in our daily life and help us shape our character.
I can’t agree more with the author. Cultivating a good habit can not only shape our character, increase our inner beauty but also influence those people around you. Therefore, I think it is of great significance to form a good habit.
As for me, I benefit a lot from my good habits like getting up early to speak English aloud, reviewing and previewing lessons before going to bed every day. In the past, I didn’t dare to speak English before others because of my poor pronunciation and I also did badly in my English tests. Thanks to my good habits, however, I have been making progress in my English study. Now I am proud of my speaking and writing in English.
Then how can we form a good habit? First of all, you should be determined to fight against your laziness. Once you make up your mind to do something, never give up easily. Then, you have to be confident, believing that you can become a better person. Last but not least, keep pushing yourself. It may take a long period for you to form a good habit but remember it is perseverance that makes you successful!

3. 卷面及书写 (占 2分)。
二、评分细则：
1. 本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。
2. 评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次内分值，最终给出合理的分数。
3. 词数少于130或多于170的，从总分中减去2分。
4. 评分时关注的主要内容为：内容要点要全面、应用词汇要高级、语法结构要多样、复杂句式要准确、上下文连接要流畅、书写规范饱满清晰。

(1)小错误：单词拼写，冠词，大小写、标点符号错误。虽然这些错误被界定为小错误，却能影响得分档次。如：有的考生在作文中相同的单词拼写错误有多处，有的甚至达到十几处，虽然高考评分细则规定：相同的单词拼写错误不累计扣分，但是多次的拼写错误导致文章给人的的整体印象不好，因而文章的得分肯定会受影响。
(2)大错误：搭配错误、词语用错(介词、名词、动词、形容词、副词)、时态、语态、主谓一致、非谓语动词、句式等错误。
7. 如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。
8. 应根据实际情况拉开得分档距，忌趋中现象。

M: I’d like to drive to the concert, but my brother will use the car tonight.
W: Who needs a car? We can take the bus if we go a little earlier.
Text 2
M: I’m really looking forward to the match.
W: Yes, so am I. If only it would stop raining tonight.
M: Well, it can’t be helped.
W: No, I suppose not. The field is so wet. I’m afraid it won’t be very exciting.

M: Look! It’s broken. I told you it wasn’t working.
W: Of course it won’t work! See, the ink box indicator is flashing. You have to change it.
M: I’m sorry. I didn’t know what it meant.

W: Do you like reading fashion magazines?
M: Not particularly. They are a little too boring for me.
W: I’m not into fashion, either. I prefer outdoor magazines.
M: Not me. The magazines I read are all about politics.

M: According to Professor Thompson, language slowly but constantly develops from all forms into newer ones.
W: That’s my opinion, too. We can easily find new words and new expressions in English.
M: Perhaps that’s why new dictionaries are published about every five years.

W: Ali! What’s the matter? Can’t you wake up this morning?
M: I was up late last night. My friend had a party. I only slept about four hours.
W: Why didn’t you stay in bed this morning?
M: I have to meet my study group at the library. We have a big text next week.
W: A big text? Why didn’t you study last night instead of going to the party?
M: Oh, it’s OK. I studied a lot before the party.
W: Maybe that’s not a good idea. I read a report. It said that if you don’t get enough sleep after you study, you may forget 30% of what you’ve studied!

M: It’s lucky that we rode our bike here instead of driving.
W: It’s a good job that we got here early. Look at all those cars there. They’ll never get in.
M: You’d better follow me closely. I don’t want to lose you.
W: Don’t worry. I’ll keep up.
M: We go in over there. Gate B. Peter said they’re pretty good tickets.
W: Where are they?
M: They’re right behind the goal.
W: Oh, do we have to stand up all the time?
M: That’s right.
W: I hope we can see the match clearly.
M: That’s why we’ve come early. The earlier, the better.

W: Now, Jimmy, did you get a good view of the accident?
M: Oh, yes. I was standing outside the bank building and I saw it all quite clearly.
W: Do you know what time it was?
M: Yes. I checked my watch. It was 2:45 exactly.
W: Good. Now, how fast was the truck moving?
M: Well, quite slowly --- about 10 miles an hour. It was coming up York Road. I suppose the truck driver knew the lights were going to change. But they were still red when he went over them.
W: I see. What about the car? Was it also driving slowly?
M: It was coming along Union Street about 30 miles per hour. It was a blue Ford. The driver stopped his car when he saw the truck crossing the street.
W: Did you see what colour his traffic light was?
M: Yes, it changed to yellow just before he crossed it.

M: What’s going on around here? Why is everyone changing offices?
W: Haven’t you heard? Where have you been anyway?
M: I just got back from visiting the plant in Chicago.
W: Well, there are a lot of changes being made here this week.
M: Yes, I see. But what are they?
W: For one thing, Martha and Jim are leaving.
M: Where are they going? Did they get a higher position?
W: Martha’s going to the office in Atlanta. She is going to be in charge of the whole southern market.
M: That sounds like a good position to me. What about Jim?
W: He is going to manage the plant in California.
M: And you? What about you? Are you going to rise to a higher position?
W: Not yet, but I’m hoping I will.
M: Don’t you want to get a raise? I’d like the job in California.
W: No, I want to stay here at the company office. This is the place to get noticed by top management.

Hello! I’m Harvard Smith. As the editor of The Voice, I’d like to introduce you to our school daily newspaper. We need volunteers to help us with our newspaper. Experience isn’t absolutely necessary. But we need people with writing and typing skills. Since The Voice comes out five days a week. We need excellent students who know how to plan their time well. Good grades are necessary. We can pay you, depending on your work but don’t expect to get rich. This isn’t something you do for the money. Mostly it’s just for fun. Anyone who is interested in this job should speak to me immediately after this meeting. Be prepared to start right now. The first issue goes to press tomorrow.
最后，希望整理的高三第一学期期中考试英语题对您有所帮助，祝同学们学习进步。
