湖南省长沙市望城区第一中学2017届高三上学期第三次调研考试英语试题 Word版含答案

The homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been following a team of cyclists for 24 days along 1,833 kilometers of highway from Kangding, Sichuan province, to Lhasa in Tibet.

Nobody knows where the white dog came from or how long she has been straying on highway G318. Netizens call her the "dog with determination" and the micro blog "Go Go Xiao Sa" recording her life has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two weeks.

A picture of Xiao Sa in the arms of a young man in front of the Potala Palace on Thursday night drew more than 4,000 comments congratulating the small dog and expressing dreams of going to Lhasa.

The young man in the picture is Zhang Heng, 22, a student in Wuhan, Hubei province. As his graduation trip, he decided to face the challenge of riding to Lhasa alone. On the way he met a lonely dog. "She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuan province," he said. "So we fed her, and then she followed our team.”

"We felt she might want to come along with us, so we decided to bring her along to the end." A week later, Zhang and his buddies opened a micro blog account for her. "We thought the dog was encouraging us, and wanted others to know its story," he said. They created the name Xiao Sa by combining xiao meaning "little" with the last syllable of Lhasa.

During their journey, Xiao Sa, Zhang and his team covered more than 1,700 kilometers and climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters. Xiao Sa just ran up the mountains or along dirt roads.

"Many people stopped cycling in some sections, then took the bus, but the dog made it," he said. Zhang put the dog on the back of the bike when the team was riding downhill. "The speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour, impossible for the dog to catch us."

Zhang Heng, who accompanied Xiao Sa for 20 days, called her "a buddy and a friend". "I would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home."

    I’ve made a friend through a friend of my mother’s. My mom and her mom met through a skiing group for people with disabilities. I am disabled, and so is her mother. We lived about 45 minutes’ drive away from each other, but we spent as much time  together as possible. We even went to summer camps together. This was often a challenge, given that she was able-bodied while I was not. I went to YMCA and Girl Scout camps with her for able-bodied kids. A lot of time there were activities I just couldn’t keep up with, or sometimes I wasn’t able to participate in at all. A couple of summers, I also tried attending summer camps for kids with disabilities. But I felt terribly bored, and found that I wasn’t getting enough physical activities. One year, we signed up for the Girl Scout camp together, again. Someone put me in with the younger kids, thinking it would give me more opportunities. My friend stayed with me and the young ones. We were both uncomfortable, due to the fact that we were the only girls in our group able to do many things. There was a big sister pro-gram, and we were even older than our big sisters! I will never forget what this friend did for me by sticking with me through the whole two weeks. Not only did she stick with me, but she did everything she could to make it more fun. I don’t know if she had any idea how much her efforts meant to me then, or how much they still mean. To me, what she did was what a true friend does.

Break Your Bad Mood

Having one of those days or weeks-- when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster--often within a day or two.

Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-- mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension, taking a fast ten--minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we've had.

Give yourself a pep （激励的）talk

Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper--the pessimistic messages you've been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. ("I still don't have a job." vs "I have two interviews next week.")

Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful modifiers. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

Avoid things that won't improve your mood 

TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind-something that the TV show "Neighbors" won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(意大利面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.

28.We learn from the text that it might help us to get rid of a bad mood ________
A. to do nothing about it                      B. to take a long walk on the beach    
C. to do some exercises with light music     D. to talk about it to neighbors

29.Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A. It is not complicated to do so.       B. It is an area which can be easily controlled.
C. It helps beat a bad mood.                 D. It brings us a new technique.

30TV may not improve your mood because ________.
A. it sometimes shows what happens around you
B. it keeps you sitting without moving
C. it reminds you of eating and drinking
D. it produces a calming effect  

31This text most probably appears in ________.
A. a book on physical exercises              B. a doctor's handbook
C. a notice                         D. a magazine

   I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.

     They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in mussel. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) — into a lager cocoon.

     It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

     But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

32. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to tell____.

A. readers how to be popular with people around

B. teenagers how to decide things for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

33.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them __________________.

A. have much difficulty understanding each other

B. lack confidence

C. dare not cope with problems single handed

D. are very much afraid of getting lost

34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There is no popularity that really counts.

B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.

C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.

D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.

35. During the teenage years, one should learn to __________________

A  differ from others in as many ways as possible

B  get into the right season and become popular

C  find one's real self

D  rebel against parents and the popularity waves

  I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I  41  try to be a loving husband and father. Totally  42 No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator(解说员) 43  my car’s tape player. He was   44  a passage about husbands being  45  of their wives.  46   he went on to say, “Love is an act of  47  . A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband   48  our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝) . In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉);  49   on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing   50 day – old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would   51  .

And it  52 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks  53  on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and   54  , maybe a little puzzled.

After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 55   a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the children  56   week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投资) firm  57   I am director; a visit to the shell museum,  58  I usually hate museums (and I enjoyed it);  59   my tongue while Evelyn’s getting ready for a late dimmer for us. Relaxed (轻松) and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on  60   to choose love.
