阳川中学2014届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag. He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles, plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere. He does it all carefully and never complains.
The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter (废弃物). “There will come a time when they know better,” he said. “It’s just not yet. So, I’ll do it for them.”
Well, this morning I was out walking my neighbor’s dog when I saw another neighbor, a much younger man, out doing the same thing! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.
When I commented on what a good job he was doing, he said, “Well, an older fellow in our street does this. And my friend and I thought it wasn’t fair that he had to do it all the time, so now we take turns.”
Not only was he taking a turn, not only did he have a friend join in as well, but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation (代)!
By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor I looked again and his children’s friends had joined in!
This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street tidy. An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on — the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to come after that!

甘肃省部分普通高中2014届高三目标诊断英语试题
The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France. Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippers and coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.
The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station.
Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe. There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a “choke point” which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.
40. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A. the English Channel B. the weather on the Channel
C. cross-channel ferries D. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
41. The word hazard is closest in meaning to ________.
A. trouble B. danger C. enemy D. problem
42. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.
B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
C. ferries are busiest in the afternoon
D. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day

2013-2014学年浙江宁波重点中学高三期中考
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the united kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
43. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?
A. How the Irish fought against the English. B. How Ireland gained independence.
C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. D. How two “Irelands” came into being.
44. The last paragraph is mainly about .
A. the Irish character B. Irish culture
C. Irish musical instruments D. a famous Irish writer
45. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Life in Ireland B. A Very Difficult History
C. Ireland, Past and Present D. The Independence of Ireland

As more and more Chinese go on overseas trips, reports about their bad manners flood in. Many overseas Chinese are embarrassed when foreigners ask them if all Chinese talk loudly and spit everywhere. The poor behavior of some Chinese has done great harm to our reputation for having good manners. China has become an important corner of the global village. We have to understand and respect others’ cultures.
We know that it is easier to fall into bad manners than to get into good ones and indeed there are some Chinese people who do have some bad manners, but I firmly believe that we can do something about it. So before you go on your next overseas trip, remember to learn about the culture and people there. Try to say more “Hello” and “Thank you”, and smile to people, even though you don’t know them. You will have a better experience and win respect for yourself as well as your country.

Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the united kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
43. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?
A. How the Irish fought against the English. B. How Ireland gained independence.

As more and more Chinese go on overseas trips, reports about their bad manners flood in. Many overseas Chinese are embarrassed when foreigners ask them if all Chinese talk loudly and spit everywhere. The poor behavior of some Chinese has done great harm to our reputation for having good manners. China has become an important corner of the global village. We have to understand and respect others’ cultures.
We know that it is easier to fall into bad manners than to get into good ones and indeed there are some Chinese people who do have some bad manners, but I firmly believe that we can do something about it. So before you go on your next overseas trip, remember to learn about the culture and people there. Try to say more “Hello” and “Thank you”, and smile to people, even though you don’t know them. You will have a better experience and win respect for yourself as well as your country.
