NASA scientists have found evidence of flowing water on Mars. This opens up the possibility of 31
and wonders we can’t begin to imagine. The 32 undoubtedly is an astonishing achievement.
We may be excited by the thought of living things on another 33 , but we seem to have lost 34 in
our own. In the past four decades, the world has 35 50% of its vertebrate(脊椎)wildlife. But across the
latter half of this period, there has been a steep 36 in media coverage (报道)of the subject.
Think of what would change if we valued 37 on the earth as much as we value the possibility water
on Mars. 38 3% of the water on this planet is fresh and of that, two-thirds is frozen. Yet we lay waste to
the 39 part. Sixty percent of the water used in farming is 40 by careless irrigation. Rivers, lakes and
aquifers (地下蓄水层)are sucked dry, while what remains is often so bad that it 41 the lives of those
who drink it. As for salty water, which so 42 us when apparently detected on Mars, however, on Earth,
we express our 43 by destroying it. A new report suggests fish numbers have halved since 1970. Coral
reefs are under such 44 that most could be gone by 2050.
A couple of weeks ago, I launched a column focusing on extreme consumption, and 45 suggestions.
They have flooded in. Here are just a few of the 46 :wigs(假发)for babies, to allow “baby girls with little
or no 47 at all the opportunity to have a beautifully realistic hair style”; The iPotty, which 48 little
children to keep playing while toilet training; a smartphone for dogs to take pictures of themselves....
As clever new ways of wasting stuff are continually 49 , we become more and more used to the 50
consumption of the world’s precious resources. Isn’t it time for us to have second thoughts about our
lifestyle?

33.A.planet B. stage C. level D. island
34.A.courage B. hope C. pride D. interest
35.A.spread B. lost C. ignored D. found

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。
A
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. Let’s meet some of the great women who
have left their mark on the country’s highest court.
Margaret Brent
In the early years of our nation, women were generally prevented from practicing law. However, there
were some exceptions. One such exception was Margaret Brent, who settled in Maryland with her sisters in
1638 and became a wealthy landowner. Brent appeared before courts several times to file lawsuits(诉讼)
against people who owed her money.
Lucy Terry Prince
Lucy was well -known for her skills as a public speaker, and in 1796 she became the first black woman
in America to argue before a Supreme Court justice. The case arose from a land dispute, and Lucy argued
against two leading lawyers. Chief Justice Samuel Chase , who oversaw the case, said that Prince “made a
better argument than he had ever heard from a lawyer in Vermont.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1933, Ginsburg attended Cornell University and Columbia Law
School. Between 1972 and 1978, she argued six cases before the Supreme Court concerning laws that kept
women out of certain occupations. She won five of them. In the spring of 1993, Justice Byron White retired
from the Supreme Court. President Bill Clinton then picked Ginsburg to be his replacement.
Myra Bradwell
In 1872, the Illinois Supreme Court denied Myra Bradwell’s admission to the Illinois Bar despite the
fact that she had passed the state bar exam. Bradwell then asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn(撤销)
the Illinois court’s decision. Unfortunately for Bradwell, the tables weren’t turned. The Supreme Court
claimed that there was nothing unconstitutional about denying a woman the chance to practice as a lawyer.
51.Which of the following describes Margaret Brent?
A. Brave and determined B. Generous and friendly
C. Considerate and optimistic D. Traditional and scholarly
52.What was Samuel Chase’s attitude to Lucy’s argument?
A. Favorable B. Uncaring C. Doubtful D. Grateful
53.Who served on the Supreme Court?
A. Margaret B. Myra Bradwell C. Lucy Terry Prince D. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
54.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the text?
A. Bradwell failed the state bar exam B. Bradwell’s request was unconstitutional.
C. The Illinois Supreme Court broke the law. D. The Supreme Court ruled against Bradwell.

55.What does the underlined word “denied” mean?

B.
In 2010,my mother-in-law gave me her rather simple but graceful, antique “secretary desk.” The desk
easily fit into the tiny room at the top of the stairs. I felt so secure, and confident when I sat down and
began each writing session. Despite the desk’s appeal, its limited storage capacity meant that I often put file
folders and books on the small floor space around me. After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered
the tools of the trade and placed them on a nearby shelf until the next session.
A few years into my writing journey, we moved into a bigger home and I acquired my own office. My
husband, Bill offered on more than one occasion to buy me a new desk for my office, but I ignored his offer.
One day, we stopped at the local office supply store. Bill found what he thought was the perfect desk
for me. “ I want to buy this for you, sweetie. My writer needs a bigger desk.” He hugged me.
“Thanks, but I don’t want a bigger desk!” I said.
“Why don’t you want a bigger desk?” he said. “You must be afraid of something.”
“I’m not afraid of anything,” I said. “ Like I said, I really like my little desk. So don’t ask me again”.
He didn’t.
A few weeks later, while working in my new office, I looked around at the folders , books and papers
lying all over my office floor but couldn’t find what needed to meet a contest deadline. My heart raced. I
looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look slightly out of place.
Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something?
Unable to write, I pulled C.JoyBell C.’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonflies, from the
bookshelf. I flipped through its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the page into my heart. She
talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing where she was going, and just
trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown direction, things would work out.
At that moment, I recognized that a bigger desk symbolized bigger possibilities, stepping out in faith,
and leaving my comfort zone.
56.What was the limitation of the “secretary desk”?
A. It was a bit small in size. B. It was too old to be functional
C. It competed with the shelf for room D. It prevented the author focusing on writing.
57.What happened to the author at the local office supply store?
A. She talked her husband into buying a desk. B. She had a quarrel with the salesperson.
C. She managed to overcome her fear. D. She declined her husband’s offer.
58.When did the author want to buy a new desk?
A. After she was stuck in a mess B. When she finished writing a book.
C. When she moved into a bigger house. D. After she missed an important contest.
59.What was the author afraid of before?
A. Unemployment B. Uncertainty C. Loss of friendship D. Lack of trust
60.What would be the best title of the passage?
A. My writing journey. B. On the wings of change.
C. Why I love writing. D.A quarrel between my husband and I.
C
Some humans consider mulberry trees(桑树)little more than oversize weeds. the giraffe Stella loves
them. Her long, gray tongue snakes around the leaves and gets them from their branches beautifully.
Stella’s mother, Abby, comes over for her share. The Philadelphia Zoo’s two female giraffes consume
about a pound of leaves in mere minutes. Fortunately, the zoo has plenty, thanks in part to an unusual
source: the local power company.

Utility(公共事业)companies routinely cut back trees. They want to keep branches from damaging
power lines and causing power failures. Usually the branches end up in landfills. But in recent years, a
growing number of energy providers have begun donating them to zoos. Hungry zoo animals are happy to
eat the green, leafy tree branches known as “browse”
Browse partnerships between zoos and power companies are one example of the creative and
sometimes unexpected ways zoos work with local organizations to meet animals’ particular-and often
huge-dietary needs. Store chains and restaurants sell or donate greens, fruits and vegetables to zoos. Local
landowners also provide plant material. But utility companies are in a special position. They need to
regularly cut back branches. And they have no use for these branches themselves.
PECO Energy Co. Is Pennsylvania’s largest electric and natural gas utility. From August through
October, the company delivered three pickup trucks full of browse every week to the Philadelphia Zoo. The
weekly browse delivery totaled between 100 and 200 pounds.
“Zoos require a lot of browse because it’s such an important part of many animals’ diets. Of the
Philadelphia Zoo’s 330 species, 40 eat it. Browse has it all: fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and a little fat.
It’s also lower in sugar and higher in protein and fiber than some other plant material, ”said Toddes, the
Zoo’s director. “Chewing on the bark is even good for animals’ teeth.”
What’s more, browse provides animals with important exercise, she said. In the wild, giraffes eat the
tops of trees. So zoo staff hang browse up high to simulate(模拟)their native environment. This also gives
visitors a better idea of the animals’ natural behavior.
61.What can be learned about Stella and her mother?
A. They are big eaters B. They don’t like oversize weeds
C. They have difficulty reaching leaves D. They live in a local power company
62.Why do utility companies cut back trees?
A. To beautify the tree B. To use them to produce power
C. To provide food for zoo animals D. To keep power lines working normally.
63In what way are browse partnerships between zoos and power companies special?
A. The donations are for large animals B. The donations come from landfills
C. The donations are given routinely D. The donations contain fruits and vegetables.
64.What did Toddes say about PECO’s browse?
A. It has great nutritional value. B. It doesn’t require strong teeth
C. It’s more than what the animals can eat. D. It’s suitable for most of the zoo’s species.
65.Why do zoo staff hang browse up high?
A. To give visitors a better view. B. To get the giraffes moving a lot.
C. To prevent other animals stealing giraffes’ food D. To get the giraffes out of their native environment.
D
In the mid-1990s. Dr. Marshall Duke, a psychologist at Emory University, was asked to help explore
ceremonies in American families. “There was a lot of research at the time into the falling apart of the
family,” he said. “But we were more interested in what families could do to oppose those forces.” And they
found that the single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a
strong family narrative(口述故事).
Around that time, Dr. Duke’s wife, Sara, a psychologist who works with children with learning
disabilities, noticed something about her students. “The ones who know a lot about their families tend to do
better when they face challenges,” she said.
Her husband was interested, and along with a colleague, Robyn Fivush, set out to learn if Sara’s
assumption was valid. They developed a measure called the “Do You Know?” scale(量表)that asked
children to answer 20 questions. Examples included: Do you know where you grandparents grew up? Do
高三英语试卷第 7 页 共 8 页
you know where your mom and dad went to high school? Do you know an illness or something really
terrible that happened in your family?
Dr. Duke and Dr. Fivush asked those questions of four dozen families in the summer of 2001, and
taped several of their dinner table conversations. They then compared children’s results to a series of
psychological tests the children had taken, and reached a surprising conclusion. The more children knew
about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives and the higher their
self-respect. Why does knowing where your grandmother went to school help a child become tougher and
happier? “The answers have to do with a child’s sense of being part of a larger family,” Dr. Duke said.
So if you want a happier family, retell the story of your family, especially about the positive moments
and how you braved the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the probability that your family will
thrive (兴旺)for many generations to come. This is particularly important for children, whose identity
tends to get locked in during adolescence.
66.What research topic attracted Dr. Duke most in the mid-1990s?
A. Why families fell apart? B. How to keep families united?
C. Why family ceremonies existed? D. How to preserve family tradition?
67.Why did Duke and Fivush develop the “Do You Know?” scale?
A. To explore learning disabilities B. To study family challenges
C. To test Sara’s assumption D. To research family illness
68.What may be linked with kids’ mental health according to Duke?
A. The frequency of dinner table conversations. B. The knowledge about their family history.
C. The sense of control over their schoolwork. D. The belief in their family’s success.
69.What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Telling family stories B. Having a thriving stories
C .Living in a happy family D. Braving the difficult moments
70.What is the purpose of this text?
A. To solve a problem B. To give expert advice
C. To tell an interesting story D. To present a research result.

About 43 years ago, I spotted an advertisement in the paper for the YMCA wildness program. I was 15
and wanted to do something different. My first experience was a boat trip. I still have the images of
sunrises and sunsets with all beautiful colors on Lake of the Woods.
As a teenager, I didn’t know that I was having the best adventure a teenager could have. Even now I
can feel the cold water dripping down my arm as we sat in the boat pulling the paddles awkardly through
running water. It was my first experience in a boat and my arms became tired after many hours of
paddling.
We stopped for lunch in the boat by assembling all the boats together. Our guide handed out chocolate,
cheese and dried meat.
At night, it was time to camp at our site picked out by our guide. There we learned to start campfires
and cook some of our meals. This is where I felt in love with noodles. It was wonderful to share simple
meals over the fire and talk with new friends. We cleaned up our mess and put up our tents and slept on the
ground. We learned to carry the heavy packs to our next destination. I developed a sense of
accomplishment and had arm muscles after that trip.
There were no phones , makeup, hair dryers...just us and the bush. We came from different
backgrounds with different personalities and we all had to work together as a group.
I liked the boat trip so much that I joined the “Survival” trip the next year. I kept a journal from that
second trip and often go back to it.
71. Where did the author experience his first boat trip in the wild?(No more than 5 words)
72. What did the author think of his/her first boat trip?(No more than 10words)
73. What does the underlined word “assembling” in paragraph 3 probably mean?(1 word)
74. What did the author learn to do from the camp of the first boat trip?(no more than 10 words)
75. What do you think of a trip without phones?(no more than 20words)
