1、开封高中2017届高三英语小卷练习（1）第I卷（选择题）ADivorce rates (离婚率)are far higher among modern couples who share the housework than in those where the woman does the lions share of the chores(日常事务), a Norwegian study has found.In what appears to be a slap in the face for gender equality, the report found the divorce r
2、ate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work.What weve seen is that sharing equal responsibility for work in the home doesnt necessarily contribute to satisfaction, said Thomas Hansen, co-author of the study entitl
3、ed Equality in the Home. The lack of correlation between equality at home and quality of life was surprising, the researcher said.One would think that break-ups would occur more often in families with less equality at home, but our statistics show the opposite, he said. The figures clearly show that
4、 the more a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate is, he went on. The reasons, Mr. Hansen said, lay only partially with the chores themselves. The deeper reasons for the higher divorce rate, he suggested, came from the values of modern couples rather than the chores they shared.In these
5、modern couples, women also have a high level of education and a well-paid job, which makes them less dependent on their spouse financially, Mr. Hansen said.They can manage much easier if they divorce, he said. Norway has a long tradition of gender equality and child rearing is shared equally between

7、 break-ups would occur more often in families with less equalityC. the less a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate isD. values of modern couples can explain the higher divorce3、What would be the best title of the passage?A.

8、C. Strong Demand for Gender Equality D. Less Dependent, Lower Divorce RateBAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it
9、will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one o
10、pens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. Thats bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. Its called The Positive P
11、ower of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that
12、may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “Whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realisti
13、c. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English u
14、rging caution. For example, “Dont put all your eggs in one basket.” And “Dont count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand t
15、he problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.4Whats the passage mainly about?A.A book that has recently been published.B.How to bec
16、ome successful in life.C.The dangers of being too optimistic.D.The benefits of defensive pessimism.5The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” (Para. 4) means _.A.its not a dangerous thing to doB.it is quite simple to understandC.the cost is not so highD.there is no real proof6Which of the
17、 following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?A.Dont put all your eggs in one basket. B.The glass is half full not half empty.C.Whatever will be, will be. D.Every cloud has a silver lining.7The writer would probably describe himself as _.A.an optimistB.a defeatistC.a realistD.a
18、scientistCFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted(认为理所当然)，we often dont clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few of themfor example, the average among student
19、s is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships , two persons like one another and enjoy being together ;but beyond that ,the degree of intimacy(亲密)between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age
20、, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors(因素)are not of great importance ,it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual
21、 for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. They often talk about being on the same wavelength. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People who want to be friends h
22、ave to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to crea
23、te a powerful bond ,which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍)of age ,class or race.8According to the passage,_.A.friends are those who must share their interestsB.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC.all the people know how to make frie

When you are truly confident, it attracts success to you.Its important to believe in yourself. Beli
27、eve that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. 1 Some people say confidence is just an attitude. 2 It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with confidence. 3 It comes fro
28、m a strong commitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen.One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you. 4 Confidence is knowing you can do it. Know that you are capable of accomplishing anything you w
29、ant, and live your life with confidence. 5 If your life is not what you want it to be, you have the power to change it, and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis.
