2019-2020年高三英語(yǔ) 限時(shí)訓(xùn)練6 第一部分 完形填空 Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 1 , I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 2 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 3 . At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 4 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no 5 of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 6 , the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why I 7 to run the light. I was not afraid of being 8 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 9 in going through it. Much later that night, after I met with a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of 10 I’d stopped for that light came back to me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the 11 , but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to 12 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be 13 from doing something bad by the social custom that disagrees with it than by any law 14 it. It’s amazing that we ever 15 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too. Trust is our first 16 . We have to make a deliberate effort to mistrust someone. The whole thing we have going for us would 17 apart if we didn’t trust each other most of the time. It happens often that we don’t act in a 18 manner, but we all consider it unusual, and we’re angry or 19 with the person or organization that violates(侵犯) the trust we have in them. I was so 20 of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 1. A. thinking B. driving C. speaking D. running 2. A. stopped B. changed C. stuck D. lost 3.

However, it adopted a unique marketing strategy, and quickly occupied the market, a top ice cream brand. Haagen Dazs did not set up shops in ordinary supermarkets or grocery stores. Haagen Dazs leisure fashion shops are in busy sections of malls. The layout is carefully planned to create an elegant atmosphere, and sometimes, a flagship(旗艦) store layout will cost several million dollars. pared to other ice cream brands, Haagen Dazs consumers are tightly grouped. It is understood that Haagen Dazs seldom does television advertising. The majority of ads are highly visual impact of the print ads. In particular many advertisements lock those pyramid tip consumers. Moreover, as long as the consumer spending 500 yuan to fill in a small form can bee their members, these members will be regularly sent advertisements by direct mail. Praise of customers is a powerful weapon for Haagen Dazs. There is always much creative ingenuity (獨(dú)創(chuàng)性) in Haagen Dazs advertising, so it is remembered by the people. ☆ initial advertisements such as: “Delicious Haagen Dazs, like 24K gold, Japan Kobe beef, original palm oil, mushroom truffles and Chinese ceramics, Tiffany Africa … what ‘ice cream’ was waiting for”. ☆ “l(fā)ove her, let her eat Haagen Dazs” This classic sensational advertisement attracted more numerous Haagen Dazs lovers who bee regulars. Today, Haagen Dazs has 55 countries in the world with approximately 700 stores with annual sales of more than 1 billion US dollars (about 8.28 billion yuan). Haagen Dazs has bee the world’s most popular top ice cream brand. In the United States, its market share is 6.1%, 1% in France, 4.6% in Japan, 4% in Singapore and 5% in Hong Kong. Determined to take the “Qugaohegua” line, Haagen Dazs has bined accurate positioning in the marketplace with dedicated brand goals. This is the real secret of success. B TransLink is urging customers to avoid non-essential travel today and to stay home where possible in the difficult weather conditions. TransLink chief executive officer Peter Strachan said bus and train services were continuing to run where possible, however all CityCat and CityFerry services had been cancelled until further notice. “These are extremely difficult conditions for South East Queensland – we are running essential services where possible but safety remains to be the most important,” Mr Strachan said. “Severe weather and associated flooding has impacted on all modes of public transport, with bus, ferry and train services all impacted to varying degrees. “If you are planning to use public transport at anytime over the next few days, then I would remend you check that your intended service is still running.” Service disruptions (中斷) for today include: City network trains running hourly on all lines. Bus diversions, delays and cancellations in some regions, particularly across Brisbane, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast. CityCat and CityFerry services cancelled. Queensland Rail Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said rising waterways had closed some train lines, and road closures and damage to property throughout the South-East had contributed to a shortage of available rail employees. “We intend to run trains hourly on all lines, similar to the timetable we operate on Christmas Day. We will also be looking to run other additional services to meet demand as required. At this stage we will run services stopping at all stations which will depart at the same time on the hour, however, this is all subject to the weather conditions and the availability of traincrew.” Mr Scurrah encouraged all customers to visit the Translink website for specific departure times for their station, and asked for patience in the event of delays. “Queensland Rail appreciates that reduced services may cause disruptions but it is simply unavoidable. We have a dedicated and experienced team monitoring the situation around the clock and will be working to reopen the network as soon as practicably possible,” Mr Scurrah said.

C Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile – or would you easily survive? Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours. Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in munication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However, during the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms(癥狀), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.” During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment’s guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion(侵?jǐn)_) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. Elliot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.” From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities being so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something I would like to do again!” And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool, it’s my main access point of munication.” Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month – that’s about six texts per waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future? 29. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To ask for information. B. To entertain the readers. C. To lead to the topic. D. To present an idea. 30. About Dr. Roman Gerodimos’ experiment, we know that ________. A. volunteers felt unfortable in it B. volunteers didn’t want to eat anything C. the experiment was still going on D. volunteers were allowed to take their laptops 31. The underlined expression “was thrown up into the air” most probably means ________. A. went on normally B. was pletely disturbed C. turned out perfect D. was badly designed 32. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. Surviving without the Media B. Unplugging Your Life C. Valuing Social munication D. Setting Aside Time for Sleep D My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumour on my pancreas. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors’ code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy(活組織檢查). It turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now. This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually bee the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 第三部分：任務(wù)型閱讀 請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意：每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞。請(qǐng)將答案寫(xiě)在答題卷上相應(yīng)題號(hào)的橫線(xiàn)上。 Are societies ageing too fast?

The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above. The United Nations projects that by 2050, it will be 1 in every 5. This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change? One reason is that dramatic health advances have added 20 years to the average life-expectancy, and another is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educated. Measures to slow population growth like China’s one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates. The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies. People traditionally retire at 65 and live on government pensions. As people grow older, a huge financial burden will be placed on the government. Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical schemes to face bankruptcy. Experts insisted that steps should be taken now to prepare for the future. They suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system. They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement. People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age. Biomedical research is another tool we can use to tackle the problems of ageing societies. By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced. Finally, an important step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients. It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies.
