1、高三英语周练试题Z-X-X-K第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） AThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: P

2、eople are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a danger

3、ous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some sto

4、ries that should be kept secretespecially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves a

5、nd to others.Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not

6、 have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.1. Whats

7、the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.2. One of the reasons

8、why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _.A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB. people are used to exposing their weaknessesC. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD. some stories make themselves feel uneasy3. Which is close in meaning to the under

9、lined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?A. freed B. broken C. unfolded D. untouched4. The writer aims to convince us to _.A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storie

10、sD. realize the importance of being honest when making friends B CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably

11、 didnt bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: The

12、y put something that can separate words in a sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a dot.When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in

13、 reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号

14、).Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io. It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to s

15、how a question.Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She di

16、d what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.5. From the first paragraph, we can know that _.A. good readers had trouble reading without punctuation ma

17、rksB. a sentence always read from left to right in ancient GreeceC. ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marksD. the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times6. The passage is developed _.A. by time B. by space C. by comparison D. by importance7. We can learn from the p

18、assage that _.A. ancient Romans didnt use any punctuation marksB. exclamation and question marks came from LatinC. spaces and slashes were already used before the 5th centuryD. Aldus Manutius first started to use commas8. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The combination of two marks

19、will not work.B. It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks.C. Old punctuation marks need to be standardized.D. Punctuation marks are still changing today. CEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星)which other scienti

20、sts had made. The orbit（轨道） of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already wo

21、rked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形). Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discov

22、ery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart. This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not

23、 been three different comets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would app

24、ear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honor.9Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of _

25、.

Halley made his discovery _. A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observ

26、ation C. by using the working of other scientists D. by chance11. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year_. A. 1704 B. 1705 C. 1706 D. 170712. This passage in general is about _. A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discov
