1、2017届山东省枣庄实验中学高三英语4月份阶段性自测题学校:_姓名：_班级：_考号：_一、阅读理解AWe are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. Just like when we try to grab a sponge(海绵) that is full of water, some water will run out of it. But sometimes we try to remember everything a speaker says and try to take in a speakers ever
2、y word as if every word was equally important. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, and all the places. In the process we often miss the speakers main point.Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined to begin thinking
3、about his economic future. When his employer circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning workshop(研讨会), Erik signed up right away.The first session was about retirement planning. Simone Fisher, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regula
4、r savings plan. Erik wrote down every number Simone mentioned.If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary, Simone continued, you will need to save at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, taking into account future inflation rates(通货膨胀率). In the meantime
5、, I want to stress that the most important thing is to start saving now.Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opened the floor(自由发言) for question, Erik raised his hand and said, I have two question. When is the best time to start saving for retirement? And how can I figure out my sa
6、vings target if I dont know what inflation rates will be in the future?This is a typical example of losing the speakers point by concentrating on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simones presentation, but he blocked out the man message. Rather than trying to reme

10、nly emptiness and desert in my life.” This is a line from a heartfelt poem Feng Duan wrote to his fiancee Chen Lianfang in 1955.Feng is now 94 and Chen 90, and they have been married for more than half a century. Feng, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, may not be a professional poet bu
11、t for 64 years, Feng has written countless love poems to his wife. On every important anniversary or festival, Feng would send a poem to Chen. In 1978, when Chens cancer surgery succeeded, Feng created more than ten poems to celebrate his wifes recovery. Chen used a red suitcase to store these love
12、poems. The academic has also translated many English, French and German poems into classical Chinese.The couple was introduced to each other by a common friend in 1953 and Feng sent two paper copies of poems to Chen as a gift.“As long as I think of you, a beam of sunshine lights up my heart,” Feng w
13、rote.Chen recalled the first time Feng invited her to his dormitory to have a cup of tea and she thought the cup was made of frosted glass. As the two became closer, Chen often visited the academics dorm. She realized that the cup was the only one poor Feng owned. The opaque (不透明的) cup was not frost
14、ed glass but common glass stained with toothpaste.Later she bought many clothes and even a stove for Feng, making a nice change from the single man s life.

17、ove poems are in the marriageD. how the love poems make the couple famousCThere is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us
18、prepare, but it never actually tells the people when its going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major
19、 flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Sup
20、er-storm Sandy and itll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The eart
21、hquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because the
22、re were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equall
23、y covered and taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help.
