高三英语试题
第一部分知识运用（共两节，45分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。将答案写在答题卡的相应位置。
One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devoted all my spare time to practising it. But I failed to pass the mid term examination, which made me greatly disappointed. So I asked my grandpa ___1___ advice when I got home. Hearing ___2___ I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results sometimes cannot reflect your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged me to work hard for a long time to check my results， and I ___3___ (take) my grandpa’s advice. Now I realize that the process of ___4___( learn ) is much more important and my English is much ___5___ (good) than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinions from old people.
【答案】1. for 2. what
3. took 4. learning
5. better
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者一年前英语学习效果不理想，回家征求爷爷意见，最终提高了英语成绩的事情。
【1题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：所以当我回到家时，我向爷爷征求意见。短语ask sb. for advice“向某人征求意见”，故填for。
【2题详解】
考查连接词。句意：听了我的话，他说:“在某种程度上，考试成绩有时不能反映你的学习水平。本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代“我的话”，故填what。
【3题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：他鼓励我努力学习一段时间来检查我的结果，我采纳了我爷爷的建议。根据上文He encouraged me to work hard for a long time to check my results可知应用一般过去时，故填took。
【4题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在我意识到学习的过程更重要，我的英语比以前好多了。of为介词后跟动名词做宾语，故填learning。
【5题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：现在我意识到学习的过程更重要，我的英语比以前好多了。根据下文than before可知应填形容词比较级better。故填better。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。如第二小题，本句为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代“我的话”，故填what。

With the development of science and technology, intelligent robots will be widely used in the future. At home, robots will help ___6___ (we) do some housework and take care of the elderly, babies and parents. In addition to these ___7___(task), robots will even be able to play chess and do exercise with people. In factories, robots will be used to perform some dangerous jobs ___8___(avoid) accidents. Robots will change our future life in many ways, which will make it more colorful and comfortable. However, we shouldn’t depend on intelligent robots too much, for they ___9___ (make) to help humans rather than replace us. So robots should be used ___10___(proper).
【答案】6. us 7. tasks
8. to avoid
9. are made
10. properly
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了随着科学技术的发展，智能机器人将在未来得到广泛的应用。
【6题详解】
考查人称代词。句意：在家里，机器人将帮助我们做一些家务，照顾老人，婴儿和父母。本句中做help的宾语应用人称代词宾格形式，故填us。
【7题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：除了这些任务，机器人甚至可以和人类下棋和锻炼身体。task为可数名词，由these修饰，故填复数tasks。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在工厂里，机器人将被用来做一些危险的工作，以避免事故。本句中需要不定式做目的状语，故填to avoid。
【9题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：然而，我们不应该太依赖智能机器人，因为它们是用来帮助人类的，而不是代替我们的。本句中主语they指机器人与谓语动词构成被动关系，且为一般现在时，故填are made。
【10题详解】
考查副词。句意：所以机器人应该被正确使用。use为动词需要副词修饰，故填properly。

第二节:完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.
One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.
I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics(护理人员) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

Underwater Museums Many underwater museums are supported by companies that offer guided tours. A trained guide leads groups around a striking underwater display of statues in each museum. Depending on the depth of the museum, visitors may be able to view the sculptures from the glass bottomed boat or by swimming on the surface. Other underwater museums are deeper and are most accessible to scuba divers.
Underwater museums have many functions. One of their main purposes is to create an artificial reef environment where sea creatures can live. That’s why some of the museums are located in areas that were damaged by hurricanes or are considered underwater “deserts”. The statues in the museum are designed in a way that encourages the growth of coral and plant life. Over time, the statues and plants attract more and more fish to the area.
Florida, U.S.AFlorida is home to different types of underwater museums. The state’s newest underwater museum, the Underwater Museum of Art, can be found off the coast of Grayton Beach. This part of the Gulf of Mexico is an underwater desert, so creators hope that the exhibit will improve the marine ecosystem.
Cancun, MexicoFor years, Cancun has been a popular tourist destination. And one of the major draws is the water. The Museo Subacuatico de Arte is an ideal place for snorkelers and first time divers. There they can enjoy more than 500 statues that help to make up an artificial reef. This museum was created to give visitors an alternative attraction to the area’s natural reef, which has been damaged.
Canary Islands, SpainMuseo Atlantio, off the coast of Lanzarote, has an impressive display of more than 300 statues. They were created by Jason Decaires Taylor, a British sculptor, who has contributed to the creation of several underwater museums including the ones near Cancun and the Canary Islands. The Cancun statues focus on man’s interaction with the marine world.If you’re looking for a different museum experience, check out one that’s underwater.
34. In underwater museums, visitors can see the following things except.
A. statues B. deserts
C. reefs D. sculptures
35. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Underwater museums can not be visited through guided tours.
B. Underwater museums are all located in areas damaged by hurricane
C. Underwater museums can be viewed all over the world.
D. Underwater museums can help improve underwater environments.
36. We can learn from the passage that.
A. over 300 statues can be seen in the Underwater Museum of Art
B. natural reef hasn’t been damaged in Cancun
C. the statues of Cancun and the Canary Islands are made by the same sculptor
D. plant life can’t grow in underwater museums
37. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A personal diary. B. A tourist guidebook.
C. An official report. D. A hotel brochure.
【答案】34. B 35. D 36. C 37. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了水下博物馆的功能以及一些世界上水下博物馆的情况。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Underwater museums have many functions. One of their main purposes is to create an artificial reef environment where sea creatures can live. That’s why some of the museums are located in areas that were damaged by hurricanes or are considered underwater “deserts”. The statues in the museum are designed in a way that encourages the growth of coral and plant life. Over time, the statues and plants attract more and more fish to the area.（水下博物馆有很多功能。他们的主要目的之一是创造一个人工礁石环境，海洋生物可以生存。这就是为什么有些博物馆位于被飓风破坏的地区，或者被认为是水下的“沙漠”。博物馆里的雕像在设计上鼓励了珊瑚和植物的生长。随着时间的推移，雕像和植物吸引了越来越多的鱼到这个地区。）可知游客在水下博物馆可以看到礁石和雕像，但是没有提到可以看到真正的沙漠。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句This part of the Gulf of Mexico is an underwater desert, so creators hope that the exhibit will improve the marine ecosystem.（墨西哥湾的这部分是水下沙漠，所以创作者希望这次展览能改善海洋生态系统。）可知水下博物馆可以帮助改善水下环境。故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中They were created by Jason Decaires Taylor, a British sculptor, who has contributed to the creation of several underwater museums including the ones near Cancun and the Canary Islands.（它们是由英国雕塑家Jason Decaires Taylor创作的，他为建造几座水下博物馆做出了贡献，其中包括坎昆和加那利群岛附近的博物馆。）可知坎昆和加那利群岛的雕像是由同一位雕刻家雕刻的。故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Many underwater museums are supported by companies that offer guided tours. A trained guide leads groups around a striking underwater display of statues in each museum. Depending on the depth of the museum, visitors may be able to view the sculptures from the glass bottomed boat or by swimming on the surface.（许多水下博物馆是由提供导游的公司资助的。在每个博物馆里，一名训练有素的导游带领着一群人参观引人注目的水下雕塑展览。根据博物馆的深度，游客可以从玻璃底船或在水面上游泳来观赏雕塑。）可推知文章可能来自一本旅游指南。故选B。

C
Charles Wang has been to e mail hell, and returned to tell the tale. His journey there began innocently enough when, as chairman of Computer Associates International, a software company, he first heard how quickly his employees welcomed their new electronic mail system. They were sending messages to one another like crazy. “I said, ‘Let’s check into how people are using it.’” But instead of a pleasant e mail culture, what had developed was a behavioral nightmare. “It was a disaster,” he says. “My managers were getting 200 to 300 e mails a day each. People were so fond of it that they weren’t talking to each other. They were hibernating, e mailing people in the next room. They were abusing it.” In just a few years, Wang’s high-tech communications system had gone crazy.
To stop that, Wang short circuited the system, taking the astonishing step—considering what his $3.9 billion company does for a living—of banning all e mails from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. These hours are now observed as a sort of electronic quiet time. Says Wang: “It worked wonderfully. People are walking the corridors again talking to other people. ”
Almost everyone agrees that e mail is a wonderful invention. It is a convenient, informal medium for conveying messages that well meets human needs. E mail is perhaps the ideal means by which one can run a global project. “It is one of the greatest innovations of the last 20 years,” says Paul Argenti, a professor of management communications at Dartmouth’s Tuck School. But Argenti and others also say it is a medium whose function is confusing, in parts because the process is so easy and informal that people treat it as they do conversation but informal as it may be, e mail is writing and constitutes a permanent record, and because so much of human conversation is nonverbal, e mail messages, especially critical or complex ones, can easily be misunderstood.
38. From the first paragraph,we can infer that Charles .
A. was very glad to see the benefits of e mails to his employees
B. thought it unbelievable that his employees used e mails so much
C. doubted the public enthusiasm about e mails for communications
D. considered the e mail application a somewhat happy experience
39. The underlined word “hibernating” probably refers to those who .
A. get sleepy more easily for no actual work to do
B. have more time for sleep for their high efficiency
C. are not moving around and not talking to each other
D. become indifferent to each other even in the same office
40. To change the worrisome situation, Charles Wang .
A. restricted the time for e mail correspondence
B. invented other media for communication
C. closed the e mail system in his company
D. closed his company for other business
41. From the last paragraph, we can see the disadvantage of e mails may be that .
A. it is computer borne B. it doesn’t help global business
C. it may be misunderstood D. it is a written language
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. C
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。Charles Wang还是软件公司国际计算机协会董事长时，因为员工们太过于热衷发电子邮件而彼此之间几乎不说话，Wang不得不限制了电子邮件通信的时间。几乎每个人都认为电子邮件是一项了不起的发明。它是一种方便的、非正式的媒介，可以很好地传达满足人类需要的信息。而由于人类的很多交流都是非语言的，所以电子邮件信息，尤其是批评的或复杂的，很容易被误解。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It was a disaster,” he says. “My managers were getting 200 to 300 e mails a day each. People were so fond of it that they weren’t talking to each other.（“这是一场灾难，”他说。“我的经理们每天收到200到300封电子邮件。人们太喜欢它了，以至于彼此都不说话了。”）可知从第一段我们可以推断，Charles认为他的员工如此频繁地使用电子邮件是不可思议的。故选B。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文People were so fond of it that they weren’t talking to each other.可知人们太喜欢电子邮件了，以至于彼此都不说话了。专注于给隔壁房间的人发电子邮件。故可推测划线单词意思为“不走动，不说话”。故选C。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句To stop that, Wang short circuited the system, taking the astonishing step—considering what his $3.9 billion company does for a living—of banning all e mails from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.（为了阻止这种情况的发生，王缩短了系统的运行时间，迈出了令人吃惊的一步——考虑到他价值39亿美元的公司为了生存所做的一切——从早上9点30分到中午12点，从下午1点30分到4点禁止所有的电子邮件。）可知为了改变这种令人担忧的情况，查尔斯·王限制了电子邮件通信的时间。故选A。

【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧。
关于词义猜测题做题技巧。词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，主要有对生词的词义猜测，熟词新义以及代词的猜测。其关键是根据上下文的逻辑关系，利用已掌握的信息，有必要的时候，借助生活或者文化常识，确定单词的词义。故第二小题，根据上文People were so fond of it that they weren’t talking to each other.可知人们太喜欢电子邮件了，以至于彼此都不说话了。专注于给隔壁房间的人发电子邮件。故可推测划线单词意思为“不走动，不说话”。故选C。

If planning offers so many benefits, why do many professionals resist it? Some are more comfortable with acting, and therefore don’t want to devote so much time to it, or they think their circumstances are so likely to change that planning is useless. Other people complain that things are going so well or so badly that there’s no point in planning. Finally, some people don’t make strategic plans because they can’t recognize the difference between strategic and short term, operational planning—how to get where you’ve already decided to go.
Circumstances do change, and it’s reasonable to wonder about the value of planning when things are changing so rapidly. But the plans we are talking about are not set in concrete. They are adaptable frameworks, goals, that can conform to(顺应) changing circumstances. There’s nothing wrong with changing direction, if we know what we’re doing and understand our own reasoning.Why plan if things are going fine? Won’t they continue like this? Won’t the skills we now use always be in demand? Probably not—especially in science and technology. Being prepared for new situations is a leading reason for having a strategic plan in the first place. Even if we cannot predict everything that will affect our path, we have a better chance of dealing with it effectively if we’ve thought ahead.Things are going terribly, and I can’t bother planning because survival is the name of the game right now. Good reasoning. If it seems that it’s going to be a close call just to reach that contracted goal, don’t worry about starting a new overall strategy. But most of us often think things are worse than they truly are. If you are continually moving from one crisis(危机) to another, you may need to take some time off to understand why. Are you really heading where you want to go? What changes in direction could prevent some of these crises in the first place？
So, spend some time thinking about your future, outline your plans, and discuss them with people close to you. Strategic planning takes work, but it pays off. It’s an exciting way to create the future rather than just coast into it.

A. operational planning is more important
B. planning is harmful and unhealthy

A. is flexible and may change with changing situations
B. may lose its value when the circumstances change
C. guides us through each stage of life to our destiny
D. adapts us to the changing environment at all times
44. Even if we are doing well, we still need planning because .
A. we can do much better with an overall working plan
B. it offers a framework from which to solve any difficulties
C. work skills today will go out of use sooner or later
D. it helps us to deal with unpredictable situations
45. What is the author’s attitude towards strategic planning ?

这是一篇议论文。一些人喜欢计划而一些人更喜欢行动，认为他们的环境很可能会改变，所以计划是没用的。而作者认为指定计划是有益的，因为它们是适应环境变化的框架和目标，也能够为新情况做好准备。因此战略规划需要努力，但它是有回报的。这是一种创造未来的令人兴奋的方式，而不是随波逐流。

【答案】Last week, I invited Jim to experience a campus activity named “Closer to Peking Opera”, which left us a deep impression.
We firstly watched a wonderful Peking Opera performance in the well-decorated hall. Hardly had the show begun Jim and I were at once amazed by the elegant moves of the actor and the pleasant music.
After that, we stepped into a specially arranged room to see an exhibition about Peking Opera. A variety of exhibits were on display, such as costumes, facial masks, spears, which deepened our understanding about Peking Opera.
Before we got out, an activity of painting facial masks caught our eye. We couldn’t wait to have a try on our own. With careful work, two vivid masks came into being before long. Then we exchanged them as a gift to each other. To record the precious moment, we had a photo taken together with the masks in hands.
This activity indeed gave us a chance to explore the beauty of traditional Chinese culture.
