It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to __ a checking account. The only officer on __ was a fortyish black man, standing __ a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially __ of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a __ in a West Side bank.

The boy continued to __ my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and __ an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I __ any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not __ to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly I noticed the __ had a series of small deposits (存款)and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you __ that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked __ . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very __” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting __,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed. __, he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.

The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got __.” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were __ this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲詐) this boy for more than a month. The guy was __ him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was __ too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) __ today.”

“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”

“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

Here comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos. The monkeys, however, were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed. A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed.

The man said, “If you can catch me a monkey, I'll give you $ 2.” That was a huge amount of money then.

The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck. He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside. He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man, “We should have a rest in a few hours. Let's wait in the village. The monkey will call us when he is ready.”

Certainly enough, a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot. One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts, but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist(拳頭) was clenched. The monkey feared and started making loud noises. Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.

The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag. As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot. The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot. The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap, “Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out?”

The boy laughed and said, “The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped, but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go. They never are.”

What lessons can be learned from this story? Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go? Do you?

1.What does the underlined word “clenched” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?

A. quickly pushed B. lightly pulled

C. tightly fastened D. closely held

2.Why couldn’t the monkey pull his hand out of the pot? The reason lies in that .

A. the pot’s neck was too narrow B. the monkey wouldn’t let go of the nuts

C. the monkey’s fist was too big D. the nuts in the pot were too delicious

3.Which of the statement is NOT true according to the story?

A. The boy just played a trick on the man.

B. The monkeys were too clever to be trapped.

C. The boy was helpful.

D. The boy could ask for $2 from the man.

4.What might be the best title of this passage?

A. the monkey and the boy B. the boy and the pot

C. the monkey and the pot D. the man and the pot

In Michael Morpurgo’s novel War Horse, the horse is not only the principal character, he is the teller of his own story.

Set in England and France 100 years ago War Horse tells the story of Joey, a handsome young horse who strikes up a close relationship with Albert, the teenage son of Joey’s owner. But war breaks out and they are separated and plunged into the horrors of the war in France. Both survive and are finally reunited after a remarkable series of events seen through the eyes of the splendid war horse, Joey.

The following cutting comes from near the beginning of the book.

It was some months later, on the way back from cutting the grass in Great Field that Albert first talked to us about the war. His whistling stopped in mid-tune. “Mother says there’s likely to be a war,” he said softly. “I don’t know what it is about—something about some old duke(公爵) that’s been shot at somewhere. Can’t think why that should matter to anyone, but she says we will be in it all the same. But it will not affect us, not down here. We will go on just the same. At fifteen I am too young to go, anyway—well, that’s what she said. But I tell you, Joey, if there is a war I’d want to go. I think I’d make a good soldier, don’t you? Look fine in a uniform, wouldn’t I? And I have always wanted to march to the beat of a band. Can you imagine that, Joey? Come to that, you’d make a good war horse yourself, wouldn’t you. If you ride as well as you pull, and I know you will. God help the Germans if they ever have to fight the two of us.”

One hot summer evening, after a long and dusty day in the fields, I was having my dinner, with Albert still rubbing me down with straw and talking on about the plenty of good straw they’d have for the winter months when I heard his father’s heavy steps coming across the yard towards us. “Mother,” he shouted. “Mother, come out, Mother. It is war, Mother. I have just heard it in the village. Postman came in this afternoon with news.”

1.Who is the teller of the cutting?

A. Michael Morpurgo. B. Joey.

C. Albert. D. Albert’s mother.

2.Which of the following is the right order?

a. The war broke out.

b. Alert and Joey were reunited after their survivals of the war.

c. The old duke had been shot dead.

d. Alert and Joey were plunged into the war and were separated.

A. c. a. d. b B. d. a. b. c

C. d. c. a. d D. c. d. a. b

3.As for the coming war, Mother said that ________.

A. their village would get involved very soon

B. Albert was not grown up enough to join the army

C. the old duke’s death maybe meant nothing to them

D. both Albert and Joey could be tough fighters

4.Which of the following best describes Albert according to the cutting from War Horse?

A. Imaginative but frightened. B. Quiet but thoughtful.

C. Determined but cold. D. Childish but brave.

I remember my mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly.

It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents’ voices, whether it was my dad’s softly accented, or my mother’s clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house.

One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.

In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mothers mind and mouth: her mind was not any less dear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.

The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.

1.From where might the author’s mom come to America?

A. China B. England

C. Russia D. Canada

2.According to the last two paragraphs, the author’s mom was unable to .

A. think clearly B. express herself well

C. speak D. open her mouth.

3.The underlined word “stroke” in the 4th paragraph most probably refers to .

A. an accident B. a hit

C. an illness D. a robbery

4.This passage is mainly about .

A. a strong mother B. the importance of language

C. a family disaster D. the significance of teaching language

The 2016 Oscars, the 88th Academy Awards, once again thrilled people around the world, including the Chinese, who were excited about Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Best Actor Award.

But the annual carnival also put Chinese filmmakers in an awkward position, as no Chinese film makers ever pocketed a golden trophy(獎(jiǎng)杯). The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the second largest film market, will earn a place in the well-known award ceremony’s spotlight.

There are good reasons to be optimistic about such an ambitious outlook.

First, China is one of the fastest growing film markets in the world, attracting abundant capital from home and abroad, which will attract more talented people to get into the industry. Latest statistics showed Chinese cinemas took a record of 6.87 billion yuan (about $ 1.05 billion) in ticket sales in February, with the monthly box office overtaking that of North America for the first time.

The achievement, which may be repeated in the future, has led to thinking that China’s annual box office could go on to surpass(超過(guò)) North America as soon as 2017. As capital rushes into the Chinese film industry, fierce competition is expected. The creativity and quality of homegrown movies, two outstanding shortcomings compared with Hollywood productions, will be improved.

Second, Chinese culture and stories have provided a rich source of inspiration for domestic(國(guó)內(nèi)的) productions. For example, the most popular animations in China are the Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films. Once they master cutting-edge film technology and improve narration(敘述), Chinese film makers could see their potential released. Also showing promise is the younger generation of filmmakers, who are born after 1970. With more professional and international training compared with their predecessors(前輩), such as Zhang Yimou, they are equipped to make breakthroughs.

Young directors, who often travel to the United States and Europe for seminars and award ceremonies, are also more familiar with Hollywood productions. This being said, no one can predict the exact year when a homegrown film will surprise the world greatly. Patience is gold for domestic filmmakers.

1.Why do Chinese filmmakers feel awkward, according to the passage?

A. Because China has never earned any film award in the world.

B. Because Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor award of the Oscar in 2016.

C. Because Chinese film makers have never won a golden trophy of the Oscar.

D. Because Chinese wonder when China will be the largest film market in the world.

2.In the author’s opinion, what are the reasons for Chinese filmmakers to win an Oscar in the future?

① China can raise capital from home and abroad.

② The creativity and quality of Chinese movies have been improved.

③ Film makers can find a rich source of inspiration from Chinese culture and stories.

④ The younger film makers, receiving international training, are more professional.

A. ①②③ B. ②③④

C. ①②④ D. ①③④

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The record in monthly ticket sales has overtaken that of North America in the past few months.

B. Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films are the most popular animations in China now.

C. Zhang Yimou, who is familiar with Hollywood production, will win an award at Oscar.

D. A Chinese film is certain to surprise the world greatly in the Oscar of 2017.

4.What is the implied meaning of the underlined sentence, according to the passage?

A. Chinese filmmakers still have a long way to go.

B. Oscar awards can provide gold chances for domestic filmmakers.

C. Hollywood is a great place for filmmakers to achieve their dreams.

D. It is certain that young directors are in the gold periods of filmmaking.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2017屆遼寧省沈陽(yáng)市省示范協(xié)作校高三第一次模擬考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Did you know that sixty percent of your body weight is water？However，a loss of only two percent of this water through dehydration(脫水) during exercise can significantly affect your performance. The more you sweat，the more your exercise performance declines，unless you drink enough to replace your loss of fluids.

When you lose too much water，you can overheat quite easily，especially in a warm environment. But this is not the only problem you may be faced with. Dehydration leads to your heart pumping much faster，which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires more effort. Despite these problems，however，many of us simply do not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set out on a run.

So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much water without simply drinking more to replace it？Well，it is easier than you think. When we are at rest，we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When we exercise，on the other hand，our thirst mechanism(結(jié)構(gòu)) does not work as effectively，so we don't notice early enough that we are actually thirsty. In fact，we only start to feel thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight.

Another problem is that，the more dehydrated we become during exercise，the more difficult it is to prevent further dehydration—because our stomachs become intolerant to fluids and we do not absorb water properly，just when we need it most.

The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your intake properly—regular small amounts are better，and some should be drunk before the period of exercise begins. You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing. For instance，for one hour of exercise，such as taking part in a 10 km run，you need to drink about two extra liters of water. For longer periods of exercise，sports drinks are recommended.

1.We know from the text that during exercise，dehydration________.

A. can be easily avoided

B. will lead to poor performance

C. can cause many health problems

D. will be controlled whenever we drink again

2.Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise?

A. Their thirst mechanism stops working.

B. Their focus is on the exercise.

C. Their thirst response is slow.

D. Their stomachs are full.

3.When exercising，you are advised to________.

A. have regular breaks

B. drink water accordingly

C. drink sports water in advance

D. have at least two liters of water

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Keep fit

B. Say no to sports!

C. Time to get drinking!

D. Ways to avoid dehydration
