Questions 1 through 3 are based on the following passage. Once upon a time, a big, fat frog lived in a tiny shallow pond. He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there. One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ?You are a very she sang, ?but why don‘t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. fine frog,‘ You‘ll find a lot of frogs there. You‘ll meet some fine fish, and you‘ll see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!‘ ?Perhaps it is rather dull here.‘ thought the foolish frog, so he hopped after the dragon-fly. But he didn‘t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn‘t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy. He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ?Idon‘t like it here. I think I‘ll go home tomorrow.‘ But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper. (Now, listen again.) 1. Why was the frog important in the tiny shallow pond? (D) 2. Why did the frog feel lonely and unhappy in the bigger pond? (A) 3. What caught the frog for supper? (B) Questions 4 through 6 are based on the following passage. When you run, you put force that is equal to three times your body weight on your feet. The human foot contains twenty muscles. This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run. Most sports have some kind of running or jumping, so experts at many shoe companies work hard to design good sports shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested. Different kinds of sport shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind f running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common – they are o designed to help people‘s feet comfortable during sports. Today, nearly every sport has its own special shoe designed for just the kind of running that sport requires. 4. Why is there a lot that can go wrong when you run? (B) 5. What is the first step in making a new shoe? (C) 6. Why are good sports shoes welcome to people? (C) Questions 7 through 9 are based on the following passage. When Walt Disney went back to Chicago, he studied cartooning at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. His education was interrupted when World War I broke out in 1914. Though he was not yet old enough to join the army, he wanted to help in some way. He joined the Red Cross and went to France, where he stayed until the war was over. After the war, Disney returned to Kansas City to work for a company that made fairy story cartoons. This was the kind of work he liked best. He made up his mind to find better ways of making the cartoons move, so that the cartoon characters would seem alive in his garage. In 1932 he joined his old brother, Roy, in Hollywood, California, where they soon set up their own company. Sound was just starting to be used in movies, and Disney believed it had great possibilities. He quickly added sound to his cartoons.

A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn’t stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him. The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn’t understand a word. The bus stopped at the next stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, "I think he’s a foreigner." When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident. "How many times did you ring the bell?‖ she asked. "Twice," said Henri. "Well, that’s the signal for the driver to go on," his landlady explained. "Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice. That’s why he got so annoyed." Henri nodded. "I see," he said. 10. Why did Henri rang the bell twice? (B) 11. Why couldn’t Henri understand what the conductor said? (D) 12. What does it mean by ringing the bell twice on the bus? (C) Questions 13 through 15 are based on the following passage. Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests and retests fill my own children‘s school work. They know that the best way to read a text book is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test of a skill with the acquisition of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are only interested in the test rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught. 13. Which of the following is true according to the passage? (D) 14. What is the direct result of so many tests filling children‘s school work? (B) 15. What is the danger of attaching unnecessary importance to testing? (B) 高考英语听力模拟练习: Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

The student‘s role is one of receiving information; the teacher‘s role is one of supplying it. However, teaching needs not be the province of a special group, nor forcing information into a supposedly empty head but guiding and assisting. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. All of us, from the youngest child to the oldest member of our society, should come to realize our own potential as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with someone who has need of that knowledge or skill. 14. What is teaching?(B) 15. Which statement is right?(C) 16.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. The Western world is filled with advertisements, for advertising is a good way to persuade people to buy goods or services. Different media are used to reach the public. The most important one is television, because it combines sight, sound, movements and color. Television gives advertisers many ways of catching customers’ attention. TV programs are interrupted every five minutes with commercials telling people to buy a certain make of car, or to drink a different kind of beer. Advertisements also use different magazines to advertise products for different readers. Women’s magazines, for example, are full of ads showing models dressed in the latest style. Newspapers have their own advantages. They are the most flexible of the media and are very general in their advertising. People can also find advertisements in the form of posters almost everywhere, on walls, by both sides of the street, on buildings and even in buses. 11. What form of advertising is NOT mentioned in the passage?(B) 12. Which is most likely to be advertised in a women‘s magazine?(D) 13. Why is television the most important medium for advertisements to reach the public?(B) Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. In additional to their academic work, children in the United States are offered a wide range of activities in after-class hours. These are designed to help broaden their skills, abilities and appreciation of life, and to give them a chance to practise leadership and undertake responsibilities. There is often a wide range of activities from which to choose, such as nature clubs, science club, or art and drama groups. A wide selection of sport activities is always available. Some of these activities take place during the school day, but many are held after classes are over. Even though they are optional, they are considered a part of the American education experience and parents encourage their children to participate. Both employers and college admission officers in the United States carefully consider the after-class activities in which students have participated. These indicate their leadership potential, enthusiasm, creativity, and breadth of interest. 14. What after-class activities are NOT mentioned in the passage?(D) 15. Why do employers and college admission officers carefully consider these activities?(A) 16. Which statement is right?(C) Section C Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations.

It has a new refrigerator, and an electric stove. It also has a W: It‘ nice dishwasher. M: Do you have furniture yet? W: No. Tom and I are going shopping tomorrow. M: How about the price? W: It‘s quite expensive, 150000 dollars. But we can pay some money every month. That‘s not too bad. (17. 20 18. two 19. refrigerator 20. 150000) Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. W: Don‘t you think we should get a larger apartment? M: What do you mean? This apartment is fine. It‘s big enough for us. W: It‘s obvious that this apartment is too small. We don‘t even have a dinning room. We‘ve lived here since we were married. It‘s time we moved. M: I‘d rather stay here. I love this old place. Besides, we don‘t need all that extra room. W: Yes, we do. We need a larger apartment with an extra bedroom. Then it‘ll be more comfortable for my mother when she visits us. M: Your mother? Wait a minute. No, we just can‘t afford it. W: That‘s not true. Of course we can afford a more expensive apartment. You got a raise last month and my salary certainly helps. M: Well, if it means that much to you, I guess we can look at a few apartments. W: Thanks, honey. You know we really need the extra room. M: Ok, ok. You are probably right.

Section B Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Did you know that there’s a kind of bird that can sew? This bird called the tailor bird uses its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold it together. Another bird is called the weaver bird. The weaver bird builds a nest that looks like a basket. The nest shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the oven bird. The oven bird makes a nest that is very solid. The net is made of mud. The oven bird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then let it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud, making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches. Some birds build their nests on the ground, while others bury their eggs under the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in branches of the trees and bushes, remember that some nests may be right under your feet. Questions: 11. What does the nest built by the tailor bird look like 12. Why is there a hole in the weaver bird’s nest? 13. What might surprise us about birds’ nests according to the speaker? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. In Europe, the United States and Japan, restaurants are testing technology to let diners order their food directly from a screen at their table, instead of depending on a waiter or waitress to note their choice. Besides cutting costs, companies that sell the "e-menu" argue that it has a novelty value that can attract younger customers, and visual photographs of different food make diners order more. The idea may be just the latest trick in a trade which is driven by consumer appetites. But at least for now, it appears to be boosting business. In Israel, some bars, pubs and family restaurants have already installed e-menu technology. The system is based on touch-screens already used in self-service canteens or for ticketing in air-ports and cinemas. "It’s about impulse-buying. If a person starts looking at pictures of chocolate cake, the chances are he’ll order it, " said a restaurant manager. The system has also been supplied to restaurant in France, South Africa, and Belgium. Frame, a restaurant in Israel which has installed the system, said sales on tables with the e-menu have increased by about 11 percent. Customers often call ahead to reserve tables equipped with the screens. At one of the e-menu tables, an information technology worker Gil Uriel and his young family were excited as they checked out pictures of the dishes on offer and talked about desserts. " It’s more visual," said Uriel, as his children clicked away on a games function between courses. "We can still choose, we can still argue - but it’s much easier when you can all see it." Questions: 14. In which of the following continents are e-menus not used to order food 15. What does a restaurant manager mean by saying "It’s about impulse-buying." 16. Who do you think the restaurants offering e-menus mainly appeal to? Section C Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M; What are you reading, Emma? W: Oh, er...this.

If you feel shy, you’re not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn’t your fault. You may have been born that way. How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people’s actions ___ like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like―Do you like going out a lot?‖and―Do you have many friends,‖ People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy, chances are good that that person will act shy. When scientists measure shyness, they’re really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they mean they are shyer than others. Questions: 11. Why does the speaker say that it isn’t a fault to be shy? 12. What is one of the ways suggested by psychologists for measuring shyness? 13. What is the purpose of the psychologists in asking questions, Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following instructions. Every Thursday afternoon, my art history class meets not in our usual lecture hall but in the Yale University Art Gallery. We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings, many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class. In America, professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose students to real world experiences. With some creativity, almost any subject can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning. A friend of mine from Yale taking an advanced psychology course spends every Saturday working with mentally disabled children. Her mornings are spent playing with the kids and studying their sometimes uncontrolled behaviour. Then in the afternoon she writes a report on her observations. Students generally appreciate these unique learning opportunities. They’re almost always fun and interesting, and professors like them because students learn so much in just a few short months. No one denies the value of classroom learning. But it can only take students so far. Slides and textbooks may do a good job of carrying facts and data, but creativity and originality of thought cannot be taught. They can only be got through firsthand experience. Questions: 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage, 15. What is the purpose of the writer to introduce his friend’s experiences, 16. What does the writer most probably want to tell us?

M: It looks like we are going to have a shower at any minute now. W: I think so too. Is it strange how you can sense it? M: I know what you mean. W: Look at the clouds in the sky. Whenever they seem dark and low like this, you know it’s going to rain, or look at the object that’s far away, if it seems clear to you, it’s probably going to pour. M: Yes. And everything seems to have a stronger smell to me then. W: I know, and people often say it’s going to rain when they have aches and pains in certain parts of their body. My mother always complains that her knee hurts just before a storm. M: And have you noticed how animals react and huddle together? W: Yes, horses and cows will seem to go to a protected area before a storm. M: Well, with all these sensible signs, shall we take our umbrella with us now, B2-2高三英语月考模拟试卷十 1. D 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. D 6.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Tomorrow I‘m taking my driving test once again. I‘ve already failed it twice before, so I‘m really nervous. The first time I took the test, I was not surprised that I failed because I hadn‘t studied the traffic rules at all. In fact, I broke quite a few traffic rules during the test. But I was really disappointed about the second test. That time I had studied all the rules and had practiced driving for ages. I was pretty sure there would be no problem. But I stilled failed, because when I was driving along, a dog suddenly appeared in front of my car. I hit it before I could stop the car. What bad luck! I don‘t know what will happen to me tomorrow. (Now listen again) Questions: 11. Why is the man nervous now? 12. How did the man probably feel before the second test? 13. Why did the man fail the second test? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. You probably have heard a lot about what a typical Briton is like: they are reserved; they spend ―an average of six months of their lives‖ talking about the weather; they have a unique sense of humor. What are some other things that are typical of Britons? A recent study has provided a snapshot of the typical Briton. The study, conducted by an insurance giant, involved over one million people. According the study, an average Briton is most likely to have the surname Smith, get up at around 6:45 in the morning, live in a home called ―the cottage‖ and spend the summer holiday in Spain. The study has shown that Ford Fiesta is the most common vehicle of a British family. Most often, Mr. or Mrs. Smith eat their lunch at their desks. Their recreation is more likely to include shopping than exercise; the vast majority of Britons do not go to the gym, cycle, jog or swim even once a week. While holidays to the Far East, the Caribbean or even Australia are more popular in the UK than a generation ago, Spain remains the favorite option. The findings suggest that there is little difference between Britons today and in the 1970s and 80s. (Now listen again) Questions: 14. How many people were involved in the study? 15. Which of the following can be learned about Britons? 16. What conclusion can we draw from the findings of the study?

Section B Questions 11 through 12 are based on the following passage. Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought men were different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animal can learn, too. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, angry or unhappy. Apes can understand some things more quickly than humans, one or two have even learned a few words. But they are different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us for they have no language. They can never think about the past or future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world since he has languages. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animals learn to speak. How do children learn? What happens when we speak? Scientists do not really know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain. 3. What does the passage mainly talk about? 4. In what way are men and the animals the same? 5. What do scientists know now? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Here is the News at Ten. China At least eight people have died because of serious flooding in Guangdong.

Because he changes his appearance and every photo looks different, it caused some confusion. Police stepped up security at the Miami Airport and posted Cunanan’s pictures in public places, hoping to keep him from escaping if he is still in the area. Officials also manned hotlines and urged residents to report any suspicious action. Britain Mid-March, 43-years-old Thomas Hamilton shoots and kills 16 pupils and their kindergarten teacher in Dunblane,Scotland.

Section C Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: So, how much have we got to spend? W: Seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. What do you suggest? M: I suggest that we use mainly TV, cinema and print. W: I see, magazines and newspapers. Can you give me your reasons? M: Sure. First, our product looks good. So it would be a waste of money to use radio. Second, our product moves well, and it moves fast. So I want people to see it on the roads in our ads. W: What about advertising boards? M: No, I prefer magazines and newspapers, and we haven’t got the money to do all three. So people will see the ads on TV and in the cinema. Then they’ll be able to read all about it when they’re sitting down, reading their newspapers and magazines. W: When do you want the advertising to start? M: May 1st. That gives us three months to run to August 1st. When most people like to buy the Their new cars. W: I see. Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

M: Oh, is there a chance of you doing that? W: Maybe, but I’m not quite sure. M: Do you have other ideas? W: If I don’t take a more advanced class, I may get a private tutor. What do you think I should do? M: Hmm. Well, I don’t know...uh... As for me, a part-time job will be beneficial to my Chinese study. W: Practice in daily life can make the language more lively.
