However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence
24、on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For
25、 example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; an
26、d you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control
27、.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sp
28、orts outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, its free.51. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Cycling around a lake.B. Motor racing in the desert.C. Playing basketball in a gym
29、.D. Swimming in a sports center.52. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortages around the world.C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D. It needs water and other sources to keep its courses green.53. The author uses po
30、wer walking as an example mainly because _.A. it is an outdoor sportB. it improves our healthC. it uses fewer resourcesD. it is recommended by experts54. The author writes the passage to _.A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence
31、of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsBThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The
32、air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer (层) of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface.The following experiment is an easy one t
33、hat you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment.What you need hard-boiled egg without the shell A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg A piece of paper A matchMethod1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on t
34、he neck of the bottle.2) Tear the paper into pieces and put them into the bottle.3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them
35、 the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a scale in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure m
36、ust equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg, and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.55. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bot
37、tle could break. B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled (脱壳). D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.56.

It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough. D. The outside air pressure forced it int
39、o the bottle.58. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around usCIn many societies, it is
40、 important to have many children. In the US, a few religious groups emphasize (强调) the importance of large families, but most people think one or two children are enough, and many couples have no children. Because taking care of a child is very costly, financially, emotionally, and socially, many co
41、uples view large families as a disadvantage. For example, having many children would restrict the freedom and individualism of the parents as well as the other children in the family. Parents teach individualism by the way they raise their children. They want to create a self-reliant (自信的), independ
42、ent child, who can make it on her own by age eighteen. Parents begin teaching this self-reliance early, asking the child to do things on her own and praising her when she does. Many parents want to expose their children to a variety of situations. They bring their children with them to church, to sp
43、orting events, to stores, and to social events. However, many places, such as expensive restaurants and live theater productions, do not welcome children. Most formal social gatherings, those with written invitations do not welcome children either.Children, especially boys are expected to be energet
44、ic and assertive (果敢的). That does not mean, though, that they are allowed to “run wild” in public. Parents are expected to keep their children under control at all times, particularly in public places and in the homes of others. When a child misbehaves, only the childs parents may discipline (约束) hi
45、m. Other adults should not interfere (干涉) unless the child is doing something which may be harmful to himself.

50、 on a theme of choiceall written in Chinese. Themes ranged from local opinionssuch as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centreto food blogs. The entries were judged on Language proficiency (熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exc
51、hanging ideas with readers. Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges. In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award listthe rest of the awards were
52、swept up by students from China. “No surprise, ” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37 , teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chin
53、ese language. ”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao,19, from the Saint Andrews Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete wi
54、th pictures and even podcasts (播客)Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible. “Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.” 63.

58、ubjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is benefici
59、al and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence
60、 that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity (特性) as a society. Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other w
61、ay. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they
62、communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so t
63、hat they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we expr
64、ess human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.67. According to Paragraph 1, students .A . regard music as a way of entertainment B. disagree with their parents on educationC. view music as an overlooked
65、 subject D. prefer the arts to science68. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to .A. compare it with rock music B. show music identifies a societyC. introduce American musical traditions D. prove music influences peoples lifestyles69. According to the passage, the arts and science .A.
66、 approach the world from different angles B. explore different phenomena of the worldC express peoples feelings in different ways D. explain what it means to be human differently70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education deserves more attention. B. Music should be of top education p
67、riority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative.高三英语考试答题卡 (2)第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题，每小题1.5分）按照汉语提示根据括号内的英语单词完成句子。71.
