安徽省蚌埠市2018届高三英语第二次模拟考试试卷

阅读理解

    Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse(社交) , such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style " street-crossing group." Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the "circle of friends" of WeChat.

    However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: "My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier." One popular song today is also called "A lonely man in crowds." Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.

    These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one's true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: "It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not." The "spare time" he referred to could be taken as "spending time by yourself."

    Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one's quality, ambition and inspiration.

    Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand never stopping inputs. However,information, processed and integrated (融入) into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle  (忙碌)  seems to be the right condition. Successful careers m all walks of life worldwide have proved that "the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness". In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that " Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves depth".

    Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.

(1)、Which of the following can replace the underlined the word "boisterously" in paragraph l?
A、surprisingly B、sadly C、busily D、peacefully
(2)、What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A、Being alone marks people depressed. B、Social intercourse improves our happiness. C、One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people. D、We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.
(3)、What can we know from Einstein's words?
A、You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself. B、You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy. C、You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse. D、You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.
(4)、Which may be the best title for this passage?
A、Live on Your Own B、Happiness and Loneliness C、The Secret of Success D、Practice Your Social Ability
举一反三

Machines work well at a constant speed —and the faster the better.Whether they are spinning cotton {#blank#}1{#/blank#}dealing with numbers,regular,repetitive actions are what they excel at.

Increasingly,our world is being designed by machines and for machines.We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards:People {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(judge)by the speed at which they respond, not the quality of their response."Always on"becomes something to take pride {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.When I ask people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are doing,they almost always answer "busy".Ticking things off the "to do"list becomes{#blank#}5{#/blank#}means of defining ourselves. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (occupy)if not with work then with family or our social networks,most of us feel exhausted.

A few years ago,I became very interested in what it meant {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pause).I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life.For example,I realized when I was writing,a short walk was a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(effective)way to focus than concentrating harder.The small walk acted as a pause, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(enable)me to rest,reflect or refresh,appreciate and break a block in my {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(creative).I realized that pause is not nothing!

A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups.Even time itself isn't a uniform raw material —as the physics of Einstein shows.

Many of us were told from an early age that, "you learn from your mistakes". But is this actually true?

The short answer is "yes" — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don't like to fail. It doesn't feel good, so we react to failure in impulsive and emotional ways, like giving up on a task prematurely, telling ourselves we don't care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir, a professor of psychology at the Norwegian School of Economics. "Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent", he says, so when we fail "it poses a serious threat to our self-image".

Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. Instead of asking "Why did I fail?", we could ask "Why did Sam fail?", for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.

A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others "forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned". 

The writer Samuel Beckett once said: "fail again, fail better". But it now seems that we should be saying: "fail again, fail smarter". Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate (确定方向).

Paper cutting is one of the most popular decorative Chinese handicrafts. It is popular for its low cost and artistry. Rural women often make paper cuttings in their spare time when farming is not busy. As a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (reflect) of its philosophical origins, paper cutting is comprehensive and attractive. Moreover, folk paper cutting conveys (表达) the content and nature of traditional culture with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) own particular language.

Any visitor to the Chinese Culture Week being held at the University of Tehran would be amazed by the Chinese tea, food, and various artworks produced through Chinese knotting and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tradition) paper cutting — all displayed by Iranian students learning Chinese.

The Chinese Culture Week aims {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) Chinese culture to more Iranians. Held inside the lobby of the institute, which {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(establish) in 2009, the event displayed a range of artworks that contain different {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(element) of Chinese culture, produced by Iranian professors and students at the university.

"{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) China's increasing global influence, as well as its friendly and expanded relations with Iran, learning about the country directly is becoming {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(vital) important," said Hamed Vafaei, the Iranian director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Tehran. He believes that the students who are studying {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Chinese language at the institute will enter different sectors of Iranian society in the near future, helping more people to get to know more about China.

China is the world's second-largest economy, the most populous country, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a permanent member of the UN Security Council, so learning Chinese has become a necessity as many around the world have realized, he said.

"Each of the students here is a window toward China, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(help) the Iranian people have a more realistic picture of the country, which will make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} possible to improve bilateral relations in the long run," he added.
