广东茂名市高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷
1、

Asia has long tradition of tea-drinking. And China is no exception.
However, lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different . Coffee has become a/an popular choice of Chinese people living abroad and in the country's cities. In big cities such as Beijing, coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner. These are not just selling drinks from Starbucks, the world-famous coffee company. Coffee businesses from South Korea and Britain are also in China.
Many young Chinese people drink coffee -- when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China for growing tea. She used to drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both and for different reasons.
Yang Lin says she was a tea drinker when she was back in China. But she likes coffee and tea now. Drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her co-workers like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee. Tea, she says, is more about family . She grew up in Fujian province -- an area known for its tea. Ms. Yang says that as a child, her family would together in the evening and talk about the day's events over a steaming pot of tea. So now, the smell of Fujian tea brings back these family memories.

The Italian dinners we had every Sunday when I was a boy were feasts fit for a king. There were loaves of Italian bread ready to be eaten. were great with butter and even (good) when you dipped them in the sauce(调味汁). My grandma, we called "Nanny", would always bake them a day ahead so they would be ready. I remember watching her hand make the dough(面团). I would often ask to help but only because I wanted to have bite of the dough before she placed it in the pans to bake.
One day I (fool) asked Nanny why she didn’t just buy bread at the store (save) time. “Because they’re not as good,” she said her thick Italian accent. Then she laughed, smiled, and gave me a piece of dough to eat.
Nanny was right. Today I buy my bread at the store and it isn’t as good. It is factory-made and (lack) all the taste, warmth, and love that Nanny put into hers. Store-bought happiness is a sad substitute for homemade joy.you want lasting love, permanent peace, and endless joy, then you have to bake them your own.

A
With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).
I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn’t answer at first —– she couldn’t hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.
Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin(机舱)?
The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat; I wasn’t impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.
The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldn’t. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.
Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.
What a rush. “I found it!”
With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven’t the words to express my thanks!”

B.She fell down from her seat.
C.She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.
D.She wanted to stand out among the passengers.

What do we know about the old lady?

B.She is an American.
C.She lost her hearing aid by accident.
D.It was not difficult for her to get the hearing aid at all.

Where was the hearing aid found?

A.On the previous flight.
B.Close to the old lady’ seat.
C.On the wheelchair.
D.In another jet cabin.

According to the last two paragraphs, what is the old lady’s attitude towards the author?

A.Respectful. B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive. D.Grateful.

What is the purpose of the passage?

B
This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.
It’s not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.
In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.
The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.failed B.learned
C.achieved D.misunderstood

What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?

A.He was hated by his peers.
B.He achieved great success in drawing in high school.
C.His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios.
D.He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.

When the boy suffered many defeats, he ________.

A.gave up his dream finally
B.wrote some articles in magazines
C.he turned to others for help
D.he wrote himself as a loser in cartoons

In the last two paragraphs, we are advised _______.

A.to open up our eyes
B.to believe we can make some difference
C.to learn more skills for development
D.to ask for more appreciation and love

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A.Nobody Is a Nobody.
B.A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.
C.We Should Turn Failure into Success.
D.One Cannot Succeed without Talents.
