(08·广东)

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain.In particular,there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女).Not all of these 21 are the friendly,people-loving characters that appear in Disney films,and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering.This is true in the tales about the Changeling.These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents.It was then

25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling.There were many ways to prevent this from happening:hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 .However,hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 .In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back.You could 30 the Changeling on the fire—then it would rise up the chimney,and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.

Passage 4

(08·上海)

People think children should play sports.Sports are fun,and children keep healthy while playing with others.However,playing sports can have 50 effects on children.It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children.According to research on kids and sports,40,000,000 kids play sports in the US.Of these,18,000,000 say they have been 51 at or called names while playing sports.This leaves many children with a bad 52 of sports.They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults,especially parents and coaches,are the main 53 of too much aggression in children’s sports.They believe children 54

aggressive adult behavior.This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and

3

negative feedback.Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them.Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,sending children the message that 55 is everything.Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout 56 at other players or cheer when their child behaves 57 .As well,children are even taught that hurting other players is 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 59 ,the media makes violence seem exciting.Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society,we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it.Parents and coaches 61 should act as better examples for children.They also need to teach children better 62 .They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively.They should teach children to 63 themselves whether they win or not.Besides,children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.If adults allow children to play when injured,this gives the message that

64 is not as important as winning. 50.A.restrictive 51.A.knocked 52.A.impression 53.A.resource 54.A.question 55.A.winning 56.A.praises 57.A.proudly 58.A.acceptable 59.A.By contrast 60.A.look up to

Passage 5

(08·福建)

The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be.The 36 family in colonial（殖民时期的）North America was mainly concerned with survival and 37 that,its own economic prosperity.Thus,children were 38 in terms of their producitivity（生产能力），and they played the role of producer quite early. 39 they fulfilled this role,their position in the family was one of subordination(附属）.

With the 40 of the society,the position of children in the family and in the society became more important.In the complex and technological society 41 the United States has become,each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 43 and be in contact with many other members. 44 ,viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 45 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination.This acceptance of

4

children as 46 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 47 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.

This new 48 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 49 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques.People today spend much time 50 the proper way to 51 children.

Nowadays,the socialization of the child in the United States is a 52

transaction（事务）between parent and child 53 a one-way,parent-to-child training

54 .As a consequence,socializing children and 55 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure,satisfaction,and problems. 36.A.poor

第二部分 三年联考题汇编

Passage 1

(山西省康杰中学2009届高三6月模拟)

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I _36_ to some degree, though I sometimes do want to _37_ them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his _38_ and how much they know about football apart from _39_ goals. It seems funny that we are _40_ for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are _41_, but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s _42_ . We need these pleasures to _43_ our lives. But that doesn't _44_ to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We _45_ not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good _46_ and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say _47_ about Beckham’s good looks.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep _48_, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a _49_ meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with _50_ things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first _51_ has blinded and misled (误导) us, and we’ll remain ignorant _52_ we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a _53_ of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _54_ us, we will finally prove how much we have _55_ up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.

Passage 2

(陕西省师大附中2009届高三第四次模拟考试)

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very __2 1__. Some stories are told __22__ they were true. Real people who live in a __23__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not __24__ . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be __25__ for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only __26__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we __27__ seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than __28__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of __ 29__. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __30__--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

Both realism and fantasy(幻想) __ 31__ the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read __32__ realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __33__ that we are real and they are __34__. It sounds __35__ , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __36__ about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __37__ that what we read is like real life.

(浙江省宁海县知恩中学2009届高三最后适应性考试)

Of all man’s natural enemies, the one that has caused him more trouble than any other must be the common rat. For centuries, man has been 21 to solve the problem of rats. The ancient Egyptians were probably the first people to try to 22 them with poison, and this method is still being used today. This says a great deal about how 23 this method has been. We have set innumerable 24 , from simple wires to 25 machines that drowned the rats in beer! We have tried to inflect them with 26 developed germs. We’ve 27 tried to raise super cats to kill them. However, we are still losing the 28 . So why can’t man manage to 29 a mere animal like the rat? The answer is simply that the rat isn’t a mere animal; It is a very special kind of animal. An average rat 30 : wriggle through a hole no 31 than a $1 coin; climb a brick wall as if it were climbing steps; happily leave a building by being flushed down the toilet, and then return the same 32 ; jump from a fifth storey window and run away 33 ; and last but certainly not least , 34 so rapidly that a single pair could have 15,000 babies in one year!

35 all these phyical qualities, we also have the 36 that rats are rather good at not getting caught. They seem to have an almost supernatural ability to 37 when food has been

poisoned and a suspicious rat will starve 38 it eats poisoned food. They also seem to be able to 39 a trap with no real difficulty.

One thing looks certain, we had better find a way to 40 these small brown creatures soon, or it may be too late.

Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their __41__. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as __42__. Careful study indicates（表明）that the best athletes win __43__ because they think they can win.

Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for __44__ in sports. People who say to themselves over and over. “I know I can do this, ” often find they have the __45__to win. On the other hand, people often__46__, who think, “I can’t win.”

One procedure that helps many athletes is creating __47__ in the mind. They are told to think of each __48__ they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to __49__ a star bursting inside her, __50__ her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel __51__ pictured himself as a __52__ floating in the air.

Some of these people are already 52 , some are graduating, and some I just met this school year.

I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them.

My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 41 apology: it must be direct. You must never 42 to be doing something else. You do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 . One of the important things we should do for an 48 , apology is a readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes .We are used to making excuses ,which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us .Since most people are open-hearted ,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves .That ,after all ,is the 53 of every apology .It 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly a fault :answering for one?s 55 encourages others to take their share of the blame. 36．A．provided

My eyelids（眼皮）were constantly 38 . I refused to 39 that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didn’t 40 any classes. When I was hurting, I didn’t mind and kept on going. 41 it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?

But now I find myself thinking. Is it 42 it? I’m taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks good 43 college applications. And I’m working 25 hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can 44 it.

Here I am, already sick from the 45 of work I’m doing in and out of school. So, what good is a(n) 46 application if I’m badly ill? What is the 47 of doing this work if I can’t enjoy the results?

Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .

For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”

This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.

Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well. 36. A. makes out B. leaves out C. tries out D. puts out

He is a wife beater and an accused murderer. 51 being acquitted（宣告无罪）for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to 52 selling infomercials（商业广告片）.

They are past and present athletes who have used their 54 abilities to become national superstars. 55 people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him.
