模拟题一：

PART A

Directions:Write an email to the editor of your local newspaper, stating your point of view on reading extensively.

预测范文

Dear Editors,

I have been reading your newspaper for many years with great enthusiasm and interest. Now I would like to render my own idea on reading extensively.

Nowadays few of us read extensively after we leave school. This tendency is rather disturbing, for one should know that reading extensively are no less

necessary to one’s mental life than fresh air to one’s physical life. From reading extensively, we can derive companionship, experience and instruction. First and foremost, a good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy, and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely.

Furthermore, reading extensively can also offer us a wide range of experiences.

1 / 12

Though with the advent of TV and Internet, books are no longer read as

extensively as they once were, nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

参考译文

尊敬的编辑：

多年来我一直怀着极大的热情和兴趣阅读贵报。现在我想关于读书问题提出我自己的看法。 当今我们中很少有人离开学校后再坐下来读书。这种倾向令人担忧，因为我们知道，书籍对人的精神犹如空气对人的身体同样是十分必需的。从读书中我们可以得到伴侣，得到经历，受到教益。首先，一本好书就是我们一个忠实的朋友。当我们高兴和幸福时，书能增添我们的快乐;当我们伤心和孤独时，书能减轻我们的痛苦。其次，书还能向我们提供各种经历。 虽然随着电视、手机和网络的出现，读书的人没有以前多了，但没有什么东西可以取代书籍在我们生活中的作用。

PART B

Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay,you should

2 / 12

1)describe the drawing briefly.

2)explain its intended meaning, and

3)give you comments.

预测范文

If given the choice, a great many people would change at least one aspect of their appearance. As is depicted in the drawing, a young lady is requesting a doctor to give her a straighter nose, bigger lips, smaller chin, slimmer figure, and so on. One option that has gained tremendous popularity in recent decades is plastic surgery, the branch of surgery dealing with therapeutic or cosmetic reformation of body issue.

Firstly, one’s appearance is the God’s blessing, and has been one part of our body. After breast enlargement surgery, many women look sexier than before. However, many of them are found mammary gland disease. The more serious effect is that they risk being unable to breast feed. Secondly, the advocating for such a practice will mislead people in the judgment of beauty. The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content. It should include many virtues like honesty,

diligence, and so on, which should be the real mainstream of our spiritual life. The practice and some contests about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop correct concept of beauty.

3 / 12

Concerning the above possible harms the practice may bring about, we are strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty. Besides, people, especially women, should lay more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts. The inner beauty outweighs the outside beauty in the long run.

参考译文

如果可以选择的话，很多人至少要改变他们相貌的一个方面。如图所示，一位女士正在请求一位医生给她更笔挺的鼻子、大点儿的嘴唇、小点儿的下巴、更苗条的身段等等。最近几十年来，一个极其受欢迎的选择就是整容手术——治疗或美容性的修正人体组织的外科手术的一个分支。

首先，人的外表是上天的赐予，而且是我们身体的一个部分。在丰胸手术之后，很多女性看起来比以前更加性感。然而，她们中的很多人发现有乳腺疾病。更严重的后果就是他们冒着无法哺乳的风险。其次，提倡这种行为将误导人们对美的判断。美的观念内容非常丰富。它应该包括例如诚实、勤奋等很多美德，这才应该是我们精神生活中真正的主流。这种行为以及关于整容的比赛将误导人们拥有正确的美的观念。

考虑到这种行为可能带来的上述危害，我们强烈反对整容，并提倡追求真实自然的美。其次，人们尤其是女性应该更加重视培养内在的心灵。长远看来，内在美超出外在美。 模拟题二

PART A

4 / 12

Directions: Suppose you are a college student, write an email to apply for a student loan.

预测范文

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a third year student majoring in history at the Beijing Normal University and seek your assistance to help me finance this final year of my course.

This year, I need more time for my studies and have had to cut back on the

outside jobs. I want to get as good a pass mark as I possibly can hence; I have made studying my priority. This is the reason I seek your help through a student loan. I am not exactly sure of the rules and conditions related to a student loan and would appreciate it if you could send me the details for repayments, the interest rates applicable and the periods for which loans are available. Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

B

The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.

One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.

When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.

David was very quiet ( he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.

One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.

It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”

David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn‟t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”

25.The author gave David an interview to _______

A. find a person who is reliable B. find a part-time worker in need

C. give him some practice D. show sympathy for him

26.The author finally hired David because________

A. there were no other workers in the shop then B. he needed someone who was willing to work then

C. David kept showing up D. He realized David was dependable

27.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______

A. some customers just play jokes on David B. David has had his character changed through work

C. the author prefers David to be more outgoing D. the author feels lucky to hire David

It is important that students‟ feelings, opinions and suggestions are listened to, taken into account, and that the right action is taken. There are a number of ways that this can be __41__, i.e. school councils, year councils and peer mentoring.

School councils

Most schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students‟ __42__ are on a range of school issues. The school council usually consists of two or three elected __43__ from each year group.

A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress __44__, the use of social areas, charity fundraising and bullying.

Year councils

Because school councils are sometimes __45__ by older students, some schools have introduced year councils. The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on __46__ of importance to that particular year group. The following is an example of the rules relating to a school‟s council for year 8 (pupils aged 12-13).

The head of year will attend all council meetings as an observer and both they and the other year staff will be __47__ as required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist

in the settlement of arguments.

Peer mentoring

There are other ways in which students‟ voices can be heard. One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring. Those who express an interest receive training to become mentors (导师) so that they are better equipped to help others. This starts from primary school age, when the mentors may get involved in issues __48__ to conflict resolution. At secondary school and at university, mentors are likely to deal with a larger variety of issues, such as __49__ and health-related matters.{2017高三奉贤英语二模卷作文范文}.

The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in __50__.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Many people complain that their memory is bad, particularly as they get older. Life would be so much easier if we could remember things __51__. So how can we improve our memory?

Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, __52__), psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long. The British psychologist E.C. Stanford seemed to __53__ this point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of them! __54__, especially for remembering numbers, is „chunking’ (分块), or grouping the information. The following numbers would be __55__ for most of us to remember. 1492178919931848. But look at them in „chunks‟, and it becomes much easier. 1492 1789 1993 1848.

So what about „memory training‟? We‟ve all __56__ people who can memorise packs of card by heart --- how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? __57__ experts, there are various ways of training your memory. Many of them __58__ forming a mental picture of the items to be memorised. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind __59__ a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to __60__ 90 per cent of them! Surprisingly, however, there is nothing __61__ about these methods --- they were around even in ancient times. Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could __62__ his entire army --- 35,000 men in total!

__63__, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large quantities of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to „form __64__ connections‟ is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: „Do people get it from water?‟, „What parts of the body does it affect?‟ and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent „__65__‟ reading and re-reading notes.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)

A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days, according to a survey about socialising, conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world. Wherever you live, a typical night out is spent eating burgers, seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars. Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere.

Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing. Most people surveyed felt that it was „perfectly normal‟ for groups of young women to go out alone, that it was „equally acceptable‟ for young women to smoke and drink, and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together. For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents‟.

Interestingly, however, most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with. Overall, only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally, and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!

Important national differences appear, however, when it comes to time-keeping. In the Far East and
