高三备考英语模拟测试卷【新课标1】3

English songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades.Singers, from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminen and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears, have all been sitting in everyone’s heart, even for people who don’t speak English. But will you have better English skills if you listen to English songs for a long time?
From my experiences, some people listen to English songs for 20－30 years but still haven’t accomplished any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be the “main learning approach”， but most of them have failed.
Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabularies. Most of them are unusual ones that you don’t use in your everyday life. You won’t learn the sentence “It is a complicate project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs.
People like using English songs to practice English skills because it’s easy and enjoyable.They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day by day can improve their English skills. It is not that actually.
You will not improve your listening skills because normal people don’t speak with melody (乐调). People don’t talk like Eminen’s songs (well, actually, some teenagers do).  You can’t get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life.It often even confuses you more how English is pronounced.
I would fully encourage you to watch English movies, listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not the aim to improve your English skills.
【改编】What’s the main idea of the passage?_____

【改编】English songs are beneficial to English learners if they hope to ________.

【改编】what can we conclude from the text ? ________.

B
Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one color may mean differently in different places of the world?
In the English­speaking world, black is the color of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血)．Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English­speaking world. In China and Korea white is the color of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the English­speaking area it is not difficult to find color contradictions (矛盾). A red cap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a red cap is a military policeman.  Both names are logical because both men wear red caps.  Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black­coated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences.  Would you rather be red­blooded or a blue­blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression “blue blood” comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had “blue blood”. Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood. But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair­skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.
Yellow is concerned with anger in ________.

The two meanings of the term “red cap” form a difference in ________.

【改编】Britain as well as America would probably agree that ________.

The best title for this passage is “________”．

An Australian film company has halted the preproduction of its upcoming film Deep Water because of eerie similarities the plot has to the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
MH370 disappeared from radar screens less than an hour after take­off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.No confirmed sighting of the plane has been made since.
The action horror film, from Arclight Films, tells the story of a flight bound for China that mysteriously crashes in a remote stretch of ocean.The survivors then have to fight against hungry sharks as the plane is starting to sink.
“Out of sensitivity to the Malaysia flight situation，we’ve decided to put it on pause for now，”Arclight Films managing director Gary Hamilton told the Hollywood reporter Monday.
The news comes as Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak stated at a press conference that new analysis suggested the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean，and that all those on board are now dead.
The eerily similar film plot had been promoted with the tagline (宣传词)：“Survivors of a plane crash face terror beyond imagination as the plane is starting to sink and soon discover they are surrounded by the deadliest natural born killers on earth.”
It’s not the first time Alister Grierson, the film’s director, has had a preference for film subjects of real­life disasters.Two weeks before the 2011 release of his best known film Sanctum, about an underwater cave diving expedition, Australia was hit by disastrous floods.
Grierson began preproduction on Deep Water at Village Roadshow Studios in Queensland weeks before the real­life incident of MH370.
The Queensland­based filmmaker said he couldn’t deny the strange timing between his project and MH370.
Despite saying it was  “mysterious” , he insists that his film is vastly different.
“In simple terms, Deep Water is about an accident that happens on an airplane which goes down in the ocean, and the survivors trying to stay alive afterwards.”
“It’s more complicated as there are villains (反面角色) and sharks, but it’s a fun adventure with thrills and scares. ”
It is unclear when the preproduction will restart, but it will be at least two years before the film makes it to cinemas.
Why has the preproduction of Deep Water been stopped?

【改编】Which of the following statements about Alister Grierson is not wrong?

The underlined word “eerie” in the first paragraph means “________”．

Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want. The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services.

Direction is concerned primarily with supervision（监管）and guidance by the management in authority.

Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I       across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other. These letters were all pilled up in a basket, dirty and        With dust.          to read and sort them, I asked them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They agreed.
As I carefully opened each letter, all of them delicate with age, I discovered a new page         unknown to me in this private chapter of my parents’ lives.
My father used to            in the army. So his letters were full of frontline         of the things about the war. Each of my mother’s letters was marked           her 1944 dark red lipstick kiss. I was              to these letters like a magnet (磁铁).
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very         . and was hospitalized. This time, he was fighting a            kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the         . He told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had         to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would he February 14. From the            letters I chose the card my father had sent Mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying         , “Today is Valentine’s Day, don’t you want to send Mother a present?” He became more           when I handed him the old           . He carefully opened it and took out the card, and when he          it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a voice tight with       read the loving        he’d sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And this time, he could read it to her             .

With the fast development of technology, we enjoy its convenience as well suffer the troubles which we human beings can never afford to ignore.
Which is seen everywhere, people nowadays live a life on the go with a mobile phone which make them available at any time. Otherwise , they may bend over the phone even when they are seating face to face, lacking in heart-to-heart communication. What's more, we are faced with more serious food problems which by turn contribute to more deadly diseases like cancers.
As a matter of fact, human beings are blame for all these problems. If we wish to leave our next generations a still beautiful world, we have to take actions from now on, such as stopping destroying the earth by cutting off trees.
