1、铁岭市2016-2017学年度协作体第二次联考试题高三英语试卷(时间100分钟满分120分)第一部分 听力(略)第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a spo
2、rt for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction. The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of g
3、un producers who describe shooting as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to dea
4、l with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooti
5、ng? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is
6、to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people. Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what the
7、y do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.21. According to the text, most people do not s
8、eem to be against hunting because_.A. they have little knowledge of it B. it helps to build human characterC. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife D. they want to keep wildlife under control22. The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means_.A. form B. Condition C. pain D. sad
9、ness23. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually_.A. teach them how to deal with guns safely B. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exercise D. encourage them to have guns of their own24. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_.A
10、. blame the majority of people B. worry about the existence of wildlifeC. be in favour of war D. be in support of character-building B Are you an early riser or a night owl? Researchers from Aachen University in Germany believe that about 10 percent of people can be classified as “morning people”, w
11、ho feel more active and function best in the morningAround 20 percent are night owlspeople who naturally tend to stay up late and are more tired during the dayAnd the rest of us fall somewhere in between, according to New Scientist.Previous studies have suggested that early risers are more likely to
12、 be happy and healthy while night owls experience worse sleep as well as more depression and anxiety during the day.For a long time, scientists have been trying to find out what causes the differences between the twoA new study suggests that it isnt just peoples habitsearly risers and night owls act
13、ually have different brain structures.Led by Jessica Rosenberg at Aachen University, researchers scanned the brains of 16 early risers, 23 night owls and 20 people with intermediate sleeping hoursThey found that the brains of night owls had less “white matter”which speeds up the transmission(传输) of
14、nerve signals in brain areas associated with depressionAs you know, after people fly in an airplane from one time zone to another, they often suffer from a confused and tired feeling called “jet lag” because their body clocks are out of sync(不同步的) with the new time zoneIt usually takes about a week
15、for their bodies to adjust to the new timeBut night owls always have difficulty syncing their bodies to the right time due to their brain structure“Its like they suffer from permanent jet lag,” said Rosenberg.The good news is that it is possible for night owls to turn themselves into morning peopleA
16、ccording to the researchers, night owls should try to spend as much time in the sunlight as possible and reduce their exposure to artificial light at night to force their body clocks to shift to a more normal rhythm.25What does the article mainly discuss?AHow to turn early risers into night owls.BHo
17、w our habits influence our sleep patterns.CWhat causes the differences between early risers and night owls.DWhy early risers are happier and healthier than night owls.26We can learn from the article that night owls _.Amake up almost a third of the human populationBhave more white matter in their bra
18、ins than other peopleCare more used to artificial night than sunlightDhave body clocks that are not in agreement with the actual time27Jessica Rosenbergs research suggests that _.Aprevious studies about night owls are wrongBnight owls are affected by jet lag more strongly than othersCwhite matter he
19、lps our brains work more efficientlyDbrain structure might determine peoples chances of suffering from depression C Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners,city squares and in suburban supermarkets. In these freeforall libraries,people can grab whatever they want to read,an
20、d leave behind anything they want for others. Theres no need to register,no due date,and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read .It is open for everybody,” Michael Aubermann,one of the organizers of the free book exchange said. The western city
21、s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm. It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann s group,the Cologne Citizens Foundation,has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and its been working really well,” said Aubermann. The public bookshelves,which are usually finance
22、d by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups,have appeared independently of each other in many cities,suburbs and villages. Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover,with all the old titles replaced by new ones. Even commercial book stores and o
23、nline book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition,”said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere,it helps our business,too.” So far,the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems. A
24、ubermann said,“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.” At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood,the lower shelves are reserved for childrens literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this reading culture on the street
25、from old readers to kids to immigrants,”Aubermann said. While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale neighborhoods,Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods,where citizens often dont have as much access
26、 to literature.28.Which of the following is TRUE about the public bookshelves?A. People can take the books and leave their books at will.B. People can t borrow books unless they donate books.C.

Public Reading Becomes Popular WorldwideB. New Trends of Bookshelves in GermanyC. Public Bookshelves
29、Spread Across GermanyD. Reading Culture on the Street in Europe D“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people dont wake
30、up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness. Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans dont work at
31、4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are w
32、ith. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable. Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, writ
33、e a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and annoying.We shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is admitting our shortcomings. People sp

Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can
38、 it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a cultu
39、re of jealousy(嫉妒)_36_ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “greeneyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money._37_ Those given a little were given the cha
40、nce to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. _38_. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the worlds fourth
41、 largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either. “It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the Univ
42、ersity of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “Its people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” _39_ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires._40_ It hardly see
43、ms worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs
44、were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.第三部分:英语知识运用 (
