The ISIS fighter was trying to get away from the former militant stronghold ( 基地 ) as the city was recaptured, but didn ’ t get his escape plan right. Dressed in women’s clothes and with cautious make-up, the bearded man forgot to get 高三模拟考试英语试题第 5 页 共 22 页 rid of his facial hair. In photos released by the Iraqi army after his capture, the man can be seen to have slathered on( 厚厚地涂抹 ) powder, eyeshadow and lipstick, and even added some beauty spots. Fall in UK University Applicants The number of people applying for UK university places has fallen by more than 25,000 (4%) in 2016 compared with that of 2015, data from the admissions service UCAS show. The figures show a sharp decline in those applying to study nursing courses —down 19%—and a continued fall in the number of mature students, notably in England and Northern Ireland. The number of EU students planning to study in the UK has fallen by 5%. It is the first decline since fees were last increased in England in 2012. Unusual Homework Assignments Students at a university in Southwest China’s Sichuan province received a very unusual homework assignment for the summer: convey their affection for someone they like. The eye-catching assignment was posted on the website of the Chengdu College of Arts and Sciences, together with other assignments, such as traveling to another city, attending a concert, and drawing a self-portrait. Posts related to the creative homework assignment have been 高三模拟考试英语试题第 6 页 共 22 页 forwarded over 10,000 times and liked by close to 28,000 people on Weibo. 21. Why did the fighter fail to make the escape plan a reality? A. Because he forgot to shave off his beard. B. Because he made up himself as a dumb lady. C. Because his careless make-up betrayed him. D. Because his beauty spots made him eye-catching. 22. The number of applicants for UK university places in 2015 is approximately . A. 25,000 B. 26,402 C. 408,500 D. 625,000 23. Students in the college are not required to . A. pay a visit to another city B. show love for their beloved ones C. take some photos for themselves D. be the audience in a musical performance B Maybe you paint, keep a journal or knit. Or maybe you play bass in a punk rock band. Whatever hobby you have, keep at it. A little study published this week suggests that having a creative outlet outside the office might help people perform better at work. Psychologists from San Francisco State University found that the more people engaged in their hobbies, the 高三模拟考试英语试题第 7 页 共 22 页 more likely they were to come up with creative solutions to problems on the job. And no matter what the hobby was, these were also more likely to go out of their way to help co-workers. The researchers also surveyed a second group of 90 U.S. Air Force captains. The psychologists knew that these folks were already trained to solve tough problems, and help others-so they wanted to see if having a hobby affected their performance in any way. In addition to asking the officers about their own work performance, the researchers checked performance reviews from the captains ’ co-workers and bosses. It turned out that for both groups, having a creative outlet boosted work performance. And that ’s after the scientists took into account other things that might influence performance —like personality. “Some people have a personality that ’s more creative, ” Eschleman says. To judge how naturally creative participants were, the researchers asked them, for example, to rate how open they are to new experiences and how much they value art. Behaviors at work and home strengthen each other. “It ’s very possible that those who are performing better at their jobs also have more energy to pursue these 高三模拟考试英语试题第 8 页 共 22 页 creative activities, ” he says. And, in turn, participating in creative activities may help people feel more energized and engaged at work. And while the paper doesn’t pin down exactly how or why your weekend comes into the wonderful world of soap-making might help your professional life, Eschleman says it ’s likely because hobbies can help people learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses. “Creative activities really can provide you with the opportunity to learn something new about yourself. ” Hobbies can also provide an escape from everyday stresses. “You’re using that time to recharge, ” he says. So bosses should encourage employees to take up hobbies, Eschleman says. Maybe even consider hooking workers up with discount coupons for a pottery class. 24. According to Eschleman, people with hobbies . A. will make efforts to improve their hobbies B. are willing to offer their hands to others C. like to do work in their own way D. tend to avoid solving problems at work 25. In the survey on some captains, researchers . A. trained them to solve tough problems B. considered the personality of their co-workers C. asked their colleagues to comment on the captains ’ 高三模拟考试英语试题第 9 页 共 22 页 work D. required them to solve some practical problems 26. What Eschleman said in Paragraph 6 implies hobbies . A. engage more people in work B. need a lot of energy to pursue C. are the causes of creative activities D. help people move forward in a positive direction 27. According to Eschleman, hobbies can make people . A. have a better understanding of themselves B. create the opportunity to escape from learning C. take advantage of stresses from their work D. know the strengths and weaknesses of their work C “Sugar, alcohol and tobacco, ” economist Adam Smith once wrote, “are commodities which are necessaries of life, which have become objects of almost universal consumption, and which are, therefore, extremely popular subjects of taxation. ” Two and a half centuries on, most countries impose( 征 税 ) sort of tax on alcohol and tobacco. With obesity levels putting increasing pressure on public health systems, governments around the world have begun to toy 高三模拟考试英语试题第 10 页 共 22 页 with the idea of taxing sugar as well. Whether such taxes work is a matter of debate. A review of Mexico ’s taxation found a fall in purchases of taxed drinks as well as a rise in sales of untaxed and healthier drinks. By contrast, a Danish tax on foods high in fats was abandoned a year after its introduction, during claims that consumers were avoiding it by crossing the border to Germany to satisfy their desire for cheaper, fattier foods. The food industry has, in general, been firmly opposed to such direct government action. Nonetheless, the renewed focus on waistlines means that industry groups are under pressure to demonstrate their products are healthy as well as tasty. Over the past three decades, the industry has made some efforts to improve the quality of its offerings. For example, some drink manufactures have cut the amount of sugar in their beverages （饮料） . Many of the reductions over the past 30 years have been achieved either by reducing the amount of sugar, salt or fat in a product, or by finding an alternative ingredient. More recently, however, some companies have been investing money in a more ambitious undertaking: learning how to adjust the fundamental make-up of the 高三模拟考试英语试题第 11 页 共 22 页 food they sell. For example, having salt on the outside, but none on the inside, reduces the salt content without changing the taste. While reformulating （再制定） recipes is one way to improve public health, it should be part of a multisided （多边的） approach. The key is to remember that there is not just one solution. To deal with obesity, a mixture of approaches-including reformulation, taxation and adjusting portion sizes-will be needed. There is no silver bullet. 28. According to Adam Smith, sugar, alcohol and tobacco were . A. profitable to manufacture B. in ever-increasing demand C. no longer considered necessities of life D. subjects of taxation almost everywhere 29. What do we learn about Danish taxation on fat-rich foods? A. It brought a lot of problems on the border. B. It did not work out as well as it was expected. C. It could not succeed without German cooperation. D. It met with firm opposition from the food industry. 30. What does the underlined part “silver bullet ” in the last paragraph mean? 高三模拟考试英语试题第 12 页 共 22 页 A. A successful but complex solution. B. An effective and hopeful solution. C. A single easy quick way. D. A long way. 31. What ’s the main idea of the passage? A. Efforts to make sugar healthy and tasty. B. Approaches to adapting to consumers ’ needs. C. Different ways to cope with health problems. D. Government taxation on sugar, alcohol and tobacco. D The three Asia Pacific airlines with the highest customer expectations of high quality in-flight Wi-Fi are all from China—Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines. A report released last month by Inmarsat, a London-based leading provider of global satellite communication services, said these airlines would lead the industry as they recognize the value of making in-flight broadband（宽带） available to passengers, who are increasingly seeing it as a necessity and a major factor when choosing an airline. “In order for Chinese airlines to win the competition and lead the connectivity market in the Asia-Pacific region, ensuring the availability of high 高三模拟考试英语试题第 13 页 共 22 页 quality onboard Wi-Fi is essential. This would differentiate customer experience and develop loyal customer relationships. ” Currently, adults in China spend an average of 1 hour and 38 minutes daily, with their smartphones, according to data provided by consultancy eMarketer. The report found that 55 percent of respondents （应 答者） from China said they were willing to give up their preferred airline in the next year if poor quality in-flight connectivity was offered. With airlines in every market racing to install or upgrade their Wi-Fi offering, passengers will have a choice for an airline that offers high-quality broadband, and will soon turn their back on airlines not offering this, according to the report, which surveyed more than 9,000 passengers worldwide in February. “Specifically, passengers in China are most conscious of the quality of in-flight Wi-Fi. Passengers in China look forward to the flexibility and freedom to continue the lifestyle on the plane as they would on the ground, ” Gergye said. “Good quality Wi-Fi in the air is changing the way people think about flying. Whether using the time to work, to connect with friends and family, or to pass the time 高三模拟考试英语试题第 14 页 共 22 页 shopping or viewing entertainment, the availability of in-flight broadband has become a major factor when choosing an airline. It ’s clear the opportunity that connectivity presents to airlines cannot be underestimated. ” Meanwhile, passengers in the Asia-Pacific region are among the most willing-to-pay group globally for in-flight Wi-Fi, with 91 percent of them willing to pay on long-distance flights and 79 percent on short-distance flights. The report also found that more than half of passengers in the Asia-Pacific region would take advantage of the ability to purchase items from the plane and collect them on arrival at the airport, and one third of respondents said they would choose to have in-flight purchases delivered to their home. Finnair has enjoyed the benefits of its onboard connectivity. Since June, passengers have been able to use Alipay and Wi-Fi on all routes between China and Finland. 32. In which section of a newspaper can we read such a passage? A. History. B. Science. C. Fiction. D. Agriculture. 33. What is the passage mainly about? A. A vital service: In-flight Wi-Fi. 高三模拟考试英语试题第 15 页 共 22 页 B. The introduction of the three Asia Pacific airlines. C. Comments of every aspect about the three Asia Pacific airlines. D. The preference of Chinese customers for airlines. 34. While choosing an airline, passengers would take the following into account except . A. the quality of in-flight Wi-Fi B. the flexibility and freedom C. the lifestyle on the plane D. the appearance of the crew 35. What does the second paragraph from the bottom imply about the passengers? A. They would choose to receive their deliveries at home. B. Over half of them will use the ability to buy items aboard. C. They may be affordable and ready to buy items while travelling. D. 91% of them will prefer to pay on long-distance flights; 79% on short. 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳 选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, that is, early in the 15th century, China was an advanced country in the 高三模拟考试英语试题第 16 页 共 22 页 world, with a booming economy and prosperous culture. 36 Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He was ordered seven times to make voyages to these countries, known as “Zheng He’s voyages to the west seas ”. In 1405, a huge fleet of more than 300 ships manned by over 27,800 men set sail from Liujia Harbor near Suzhou on a distant voyage under the command of Zheng He. 37 The fleet sailed along China’s coast to Champa close to Vietnam and after crossing the South China Sea, visited Java, Sumatra and reached Sri Lanka finally. On the way back, it sailed along the west coast of India and returned home in 1407. 38 In all, he had made calls at over 30 countries and territories. 39 No matter what country he visited, he called on the ruler of the land, presenting to him valuable gifts to express China ’s sincere desire to develop friendly relations. 40 They sent the emperor zebras, giraffes, shells, elephant ivory and rhinoceros-horn medicine. The voyages by Zheng He strengthened the friendly relations between China and other countries in Asia and Africa and led to cultural and economic exchange between them. Therefore, his expeditions could rightfully be called “ one of greatest achievements in mankind ’ s 高三模拟考试英语试题第 17 页 共 22 页 history of navigation ”. A. Zheng served as commander of the fleet. B. The response of the rulers was very generous. C. On board the ships were large quantities of goods. D. The Great Ming Empire launched a series of marine activities.
