LONDON ( Reuters)——Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

 “Organic produce is always better,’’ Gold said, “The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not, it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty. ’’Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口)to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market. " said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

1. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because             .

1. they are getting richer
2. they can get the food anywhere
3. they consider the food free of pollution
4. they like home-grown fruit
   2. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?
   1. It grows indoors all year round.B. It is produced outside Britain.

C. It is grown on family farms.D. It is produced on large farms.

3. What is the meaning of the words the organic trends in the text?

1. Growing interest in organic food.B. Better quality of organic food.
   C. Rising market of organic food.D. Higher prices of organic food.

   Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
   Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
   According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
   The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C. , painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
   Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
   If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
   Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
   4. It can be learned from the passage that stars today______.
   A. are often misunderstood by the public
   B. can no longer have their privacy protected
   C. spend too much on their public appearance
   D. care little about how they have come into fame
   5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
   A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
   B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
   C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
   D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
   6. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
   A. Availability of modern media.
   B. Inadequate social recognition.
   C. Lack of favorable chances.
   D. Huge population of fans.
   7. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
   1. Sincere.B. Sceptical.

C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. 

It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. 

My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. 

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are traditional and safe.

B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

C. Because they are colorful and available.

D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

9 The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.

A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transport

C. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills

10. How did the author feel about his street crossing?

1. It was boring.B. It was difficult.

C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.

11. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?

A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C. The author was praised by the other bikers.

D. The author took great pleasure in biking.

D

Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.

There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.

I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.

I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:

“So what happened today?”

It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.
12. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he _____.

A. was accused of destroying property

B. was told not to yell at other children

C. was made to do things against his will

D. was blamed for creating an air of tension

13. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?

A. She didn't want to make it worse.

B. She didn't mind the huge mess at all.

C. She was tired of shouting and threats.

D. She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.

14. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by _____.

A. playing games with him

B. giving him a good suggestion

C. describing his teacher's feelings

D. avoiding making critical remarks

15. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?

A. He was sorry about his reputation.

B. He was regretful about his behavior.

C. He was fearful of the author's warning.

D. He was sad for the author's misunderstanding.

会宁一中2017-2018学年度高三第四次月考

英 语 参 考 答 案

一、阅读理解

A篇 1.C; 2.B; 3.A

解析： 1.从第二段Gold所说的话可得出答案。

2.题目中问的是 most organic produce 的情况。根据 “ about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand” 可知答案.

3.从“a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend” 可知人们对这种 organic produce 兴趣渐增。

B篇 4.B; 5.B; 6.A; 7.D

解析： 4.【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了名人的种种生活隐私被侵犯,几乎影响到他们的生活,同时也介绍了这种对于名人隐私的窥探有着很长的历史。现代的名人们更加无法逃避狗仔队对于他们生活隐私的侵犯。推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,这些名人是人们关注的中心,狗仔队在他们的家外面扎营,准备好摄像机等。同时一些小报会刊登一些关于他们私生活的趣闻轶事等,说明他们无法保护自己的隐私。

5.主旨大意题。该段所列举的事例,从公元前4世纪到20世纪二三十年代,都提到了名人们受困于没有隐私的情况,因此这一段主要讲述的是这种现象已经有了很长历史了。

6.细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,现在的超级明星们根本无法躲避那些携带摄像机的摄像师们,当他们说了或者做了一些可笑的事情之后,马上会被在网络上传播,因此选A。

7.推理判断题。根据第一段的“Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!”及最后一段的“They are tired of being famous already.”可知,作者对于这些名人们怀有同情心。

【长难句分析】Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.最终,他们开始失去真正的自我,以他们的粉丝的眼光来看待自己,而不是把自己当作成名前的自己。该句为复合句。who引导宾语从句,作lose track of的宾语;seeing...是现在分词短语,用作伴随状语,其中the way后面的定语从句省略了in which或that; as引导方式状语从句,其中before引导时间状语从句。

C篇 8.B; 9.C; 10.B; 11.D

解析： 8.【语篇导读】中国是一个自行车大国,这是作者耳闻目睹之后得出的结论。本文描写了作者对中国自行车文化的感受,以及个人骑车的快乐体验。

细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知,自行车方便且廉价。

9.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知,作者决定购买自行车的原因是想感受一下中国的文化,所以C项为正确答案。

10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句话可知,作者感到骑自行车穿越十字路口很困难。

11.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知,作者在骑自行车的过程中体验到了快乐,故选D项。

【长难句分析】To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.为了安全起见,我和一伙骑自行车的人一起结伴前行,这期间,街道上偶尔会有车辆不知道从哪里飞驰而来。该句为复合句。句首的To be safe是目的状语;后面while引导时间状语从句。另外,came running...意为“源源不断地到来”。

D篇 12.C; 13.A; 14.D; 15.B

解析： 12.这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己给残疾儿童上课的一个小故事:面对故意在办公室里调皮的学生,作者任其发泄,最后打开了孩子的心扉,让孩子意识到自己行为的错误。

细节理解题。最后一段交代了这个男孩故意捣蛋的原因:the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked,这与C项陈述是一致的。因此选C。

13.推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,面对这个孩子的捣蛋行为,作者没有生气,作者看出这个孩子是想故意气老师,但他需要沟通;最后一段说,如果“我”批评他,正在对“我”慢慢敞开的大门就会牢牢地关上了。由此推断选A,作者明白其中原因,她不想使孩子的情况更糟糕。

14.推理判断题。由第四段的内容可知,作者看着孩子在她的办公室里调皮,却安静地坐在那里,直到孩子自己慢慢地安静下来,然后作者和他聊天。从这些信息看,作者与孩子沟通之前让他把自己的情绪发泄完,而没有用严厉的话语批评他。因此选D。

15.推理判断题。文章最后一句说,孩子眼中含着泪水要去向老师道歉,由此推断,他意识到自己的错误并感到后悔,因此选B。

【长难句分析】There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him.托儿所有个很顽皮的小男孩,于是通常与孩子打交道很有信心的老师被安排负责管好他。该句为并列句。句中由连词and连接,其中前句是简单句,后句是复合句,who引导定语从句,修饰主语a teacher。

二、七选五

16.B. 考查句意理解和上下文串联。根据下文的句子:Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check.(医生建议父母带6到12个月大的孩子去医院做视力检查)可知,保护视力应该很早就开始,所以答案是B。

17.C  考查句意理解和上下文串联。根据上文的句子:No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses.(不管什么季节,戴太阳镜都是非常重要的)可知,它们可以适当的保护你的眼睛,所以答案是C。

48. 考查过去完成时。notice的动作发生在said之前,表示过去的过去,故用过去完成时。

49. 考查代词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语,且由空格前的“my hands”可知,此处用名词性物主代词hers,表示她的手。

50. 考查非限定性定语从句。who引导非限定性定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词the headmaster。

五、短文改错

解析： 第一句:side→ sides, side是可数名词,前面有three修饰,side 要改为sides。

第一句:from→of, be made from由……制成,看不出原材料;be made of由……制成/组成,看得出原材料,所以from要改为of。

第二句enjoy后加动名词形式,所以sit要改为sitting。

第三句:easy→easily,修饰动词see应用副词,所以easy改为easily。

第五句:is→was,时态误用。全文用的都是过去时,所以要把is改为was。

第六句it代词误用。这里指代的是park,所以要把them改为it。

第七句:删掉could后的not根据上下文可知这里应该是表肯定,所以把not删掉。

第九句:在第一个in后加a固定短语in a hurry仓促;匆忙。

第十句:felt→feel, make sb. do sth.使某人做某事,所以felt要改为feel。

第十一句:If→Although/Though,句意:虽然我在那个教室学习时还是个孩子,但是我永远都忘不了它。根据句意可知要把If改为Although或Though。

六、书面表达

Dear Peter,

I have received your e-mail. I am very excited and inspired by the good news that you have been admitted into Harvard University. First I'd like to offer my congratulations to you on your great success and I also hope to enter a famous university just like you.

  Now I want to tell you something about myself. As you know, I'm busy preparing for the college entrance examination. Day after day I work very hard and have to stay up late doing piles of papers. However, I’m always feeling stressed out because my efforts don’t seem to pay off, which makes me frustrated and exhausted. Will you be kind enough to give me some advice?

   I would appreciate it if you could write back to me as soon as possible.  

Yours,

                                                      Li Hua
