市酒钢三中2018-2019学年第一学期高三第二次模拟考试英语第Ⅰ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 a year 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 University Moving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around £ 400 a month and tuition fees are £ 2,300 a year. 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 world’s 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 Amsterdam The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £ 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree. There are 14 bachelor’s 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 Milan The University of Milan’ s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s 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. To advertise some degree programs.D. To compare tuition fees and living costs.                              BEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied, “No, I’m not hungry yet,” and continued driving. 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 was hungry 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 Ryan’s 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, “I’m hungry. Let’s 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 Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s 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 communicationC So 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 us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 can’t do that. He’s 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 doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll 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 don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.8. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “____________”.A. Recover    B. develop    C. accept     D. replace9. According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________.A. she had a bad health.B. she had disagreed about her son’s marriage.C. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-law.D. she had disliked her son’s 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 of the 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.D   Personal 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 aren’t 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 she’d 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 don’t 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 writer’s 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. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him14. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one’s communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later15. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Computer: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)涂卡注意E=AB F=AC G=ADComing face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful，to say the least.  16 It even makes you question yourself．Your natural reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely．But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately help you grow as a person. Here’s how to do it．1．Be objective about the criticism    Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively. Next time you get a bad review, don’t immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. 172．Avoid unnecessary conflictIf you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take．In your discomfort，you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. 183．Be open to the idea of change 19  And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most．4．Ask questions If you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard(跳板) to improvement, you will likely need more information. 20  Your emotions will be tiding high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information．However, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you．Even if you don’t agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it．A．Most of us are pretty stubborn．B．There is no doubt that change is necessary．C．But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument．D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere．E．It challenges the way you believe people see youF．Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it．G．The 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___.
