1、滁州市民办高中 20182018年下学期高三第三次模拟考试卷 英语试题 全卷满分 150分，考试用时 120分钟。 第 I I 卷（选择题 100100分） 1 2 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 4040分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 A A The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the
2、audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, sir,” the men answered. Th
3、e director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “were on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.” “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight t
4、o the west coast, and get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.” “Thats a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want yo
5、u to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.” The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They al
6、l went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.” The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the
7、camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach. 3 21.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _. A. to film a scene on the sea B. to find an actor and an actress C. to watch a beautiful sunset D. to meet the audienc
8、e 22.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast? A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset. B. Because he was angry with his crew. C. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset. D. Because it was his secretarys suggestion. 23.The director wanted to film a sunset over th
9、e ocean because _. A. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine B. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening C. it was more moving than a sunrise D. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset 24.After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hand
10、s _. A. because he was moved to tears B. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined D. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine B B The splendid aurora light displays that appear in Earths atmospher
11、e around the north and south magnetic(磁的) poles were once mysterious phenomena. Now, scientists have data from satellites and ground-based observations from which we know that the aurora brilliance is a massive electrical discharge similar to that occurring in a neon sign. To understand the cause of
12、 auroras, first picture the Earth enclosed by its magnetosphere(磁层), a huge region created by the Earths magnetic field. Outside the magnetosphere, rushing toward the earth is the solar wind, a speedily moving body of ionized(离子化的) gases with its own magnetic field. Charged particles(粒子) in this sol
13、ar wind speed earthward along the solar winds magnetic lines of force. The Earths magnetosphere is a barrier to the solar winds, and forces the charged 4 particles of the solar wind to flow around the magnetosphere itself. But in the polar regions, the magnetic lines of force of the Earth and of the
14、 solar wind gather together. Here many of the solar winds charged particles break through the magnetosphere and enter Earths magnetic field. They then rush back and forth between the Earths magnetic poles very rapidly and ionize and excite the atoms of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, causing them
15、 to produce aurora radiations of visible light. The colors of an aurora depend on the atoms producing them. The leading greenish-white light comes from low energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge magnetic storms oxygen atoms also undergo high energy excitation and produce pink light. Excited
16、nitrogen(氮) atoms contribute bands of color varying from blue to violet. Viewed from outer space, auroras can be seen as dimly shining belts wrapped around each of the Earths magnetic poles. Each aurora hangs like a curtain of light stretching over the polar regions and into the higher latitudes. Wh
17、en the solar flares(闪光) that result in magnetic storms and aurora activity are very strong, aurora displays may extend as far as the southern regions of the United States. 25.What is it that directly gives off aurora light? A. The Earths magnetic field. B. The solar winds magnetic field. C. The Eart
18、hs ionized particles. D. The solar winds charged particles. 26.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. The appearance of auroras around the Earths poles. B. The periodic change in the display of auroras. C. The factors that cause the variety of colors in auroras. D. The covering area of aur
19、oras based on their colors. 27.What can we infer from the passage? A. The magnetosphere increases the speed of particles from the solar wind. B. The color of greenish-white appears least frequently in an aurora display. C. Earths magnetic field contributes to the variety and difference of auroras colors. 5
