There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don’t guess! Look it up!
39. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is _____________.
A. to learn them by oneself
B. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C. to guess them from the context
D. to get more separate meanings of each word
40. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. the 30,000 words B. English teachers
C. misunderstood words D. frequently used words
41. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?
A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
42. It can be inferred that _________.
A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart
B. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
C. it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D. only dictionaries can help us learn language well
(C)
My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地).
My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.
There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.
When l came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, 1 obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.
43. The author was nervous before the performance because _______.
A. his or her mother and father weren’t present
B. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage
C. he or she hadn’t mastered the entire piece
D. he or she had never performed in public before
44. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. put into disorder B. forget about C. stop halfway D. do well in
45. The author _________.
A. didn’t make any mistake in the performance
B. felt better at the beginning of the performance
C. paid all attention to nothing but his / her performance
D. lost his / her concentration sometimes during the performance
46. What did the author feel about his / her performance?
A. He / She thought it was comfortable and successful.
B. He / She thought it was very difficult but successful.
C. He / She thought he / she had never made a mistake during the performance.
D. He / She thought he / she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.
(D)
People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.
On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.
47. The key point of the passage is that _________.
A. the cause of air pollution is people

C. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to death
D. air pollution is caused by dirty air
48. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. to persuade people to stop polluting the air
B. to tell the causes of air pollution
C. to tell why cities are bad places to live
D. to describe why cities are bad places to live
49. Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country?
A. Because there larger populations in cities.
B. Because the air in the city is dirty.
C. Because there are more cars in the city.
D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy
in the city than in the country.
50. The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal ______.
A. to turn black B. to become rusty C. to corrode D. to twist

(E)
Did you know
that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to? Cool climate
vegetables like asparagus (芦笋) are now able to be grown
in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine (海的)engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables
that they are living in cooler climates. In that way they grow faster and taste
better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How
did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through
them cools the earth. This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in
tropical climates (热带气候) to grow crops from cooler
climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air
“wet” and thus water the gardens. What especially makes people happy about this
process
(过程) is that nothing to the natural conditions is being used. Another
new use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for
example the entire west coast of the
52. What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?
A. Water the field with seawater. B. Grow asparagus in hot places.

高三英语模拟试题三答案
单项选择：1―15 CBCBB DADBC DDADD
完形填空：
这是一则趣味故事，讲述作者到一家饭店去吃饭，脱下外套递给服务员，吃完后发现有人穿错了外套，并且口袋里有一枚金戒指。在警察的帮助下，找到了丢戒指的人，原来那人在火车上时，他的戒指是被一个小贼偷走的。
16．C 根据常识，作者走进一家饭店 / 旅馆一小时后要离开可以推断，他到这里是为了吃饭。
17。A 根据句意，选择took表示“拿走”。
18．D 词组be ready to do ...表示“准备做某事”。
19．C 那位服务员把外套拿到作者面前，因此用brought。
20．B 副词suddenly说明作者感到意外。
21．C 根据下一句话You’ve brought someone else’s coat可以推断，作者这时仔细看了看那件外套。
22．D someone else’s coat表示“其他人的外套”。
23．A 根据逻辑判断前后为转折语义。
24．C suppose表示“猜测，猜想”。
25。B 这样的事有时候会发生。
26。D 词组go over to someone表示“向某人走过去”。
27。A 根据后面回答Yes可知前面是一般疑问句式，因此选C。
28．A 根据后面一句话the young man arrived可以推断，警察打电话给那个人。
29．B 这时当然要感谢作者了。
30．C 语义转折，可意为：然而我是在火车上丢的戒指。
31．A 作者把刚才发生的事(story)告诉给他。
32．D 那么这只戒指是如何在那个外套里的呢?
33．D 意思是“那时有人坐在或站在你的旁边吗？”
34．B 但是这里的这位朋友不是小偷。
35．C No在这里表示“是的，他不是一个小偷”
36.A。见contracts所在的句子以及最后一句话。这是写这封信的实质。而其余部分主要是宣传他们的公司，他们的服务等。这些都是为了让客户放心地购他们的货。
37.C。该词前面讲到了Mr. Perkins的儿子决定向船舶公司买一艘大船；又根据contracts后面的sign(签订)以及随后讲的公司已做好交货的准备，需要的只是签订了的contracts等等，可知它的意思是“合同”。
38.A。正文第二句讲：他们的公司两年前才成立。
39.D。本文作者不主张猜词义，而强调查辞典的重要性，并应记住尽量多的词义。作者在倒数第二段作了说明：辞典能给出很多不同的词义。联系起来可得出此答案。也可用排除法。
40.A。根据上文所说I learnt the 30,000 words...可知。
41.D。从第1段中的sinking in(潜移默化)和第2段中的pick them up(不知不觉学到)，可知作者掌握的词汇中一部分是在生活中无意识学到的。
42.B。第3段说作者对所学词汇中的5％理解错误，原因是用得最少。而用得多的则误解的可能性小。
43.D。从第1段可知，这是作者首次在观众面前演出，再结合第3、4段便知作者紧张的原因。
44.A。从前面的内容推知：在父母面前演奏无妨，即使messed up(弄得一团糟)他们也会说“很好”。
45.C。9、10、11三段都对此作了描述。
46.B。最后两段无疑是在告诉读者，作者成功了。此外前八段都是对作者紧张、不安的描述。所以只有B项能恰当反映作者对此次表演的感受。D显然错误；同时因为作者演奏时曾弹错了一个音符，所以C的说法错误。
47. B。主旨题。纵观全文，文章的前半部分讲的是导致污染的原因，而后半部分讲的是污染的结果。而A只强调起因，C只强调结果，D与本文没有什么关系。所以B为正确答案。
48. A。推理题。文章没有直接说写这篇文章的目的。但我们从受污染的结果可以推断出写这篇文章的目的就是要我们减少污染。所以A为正确答案。
49. D。细节题。第一段后半部分说明，空气污染的主要原因是汽车的废气和用来发电的煤和油的燃烧。而汽车和电在城市里比在郊区用得多。故D正确。
50. C。细节题。文章最后一段第三句直接提到：wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may … cause metal to corrode.。所以C为正确答案。
51. B。细节题。根据文章最后一句“these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.”可知，B为正确答案。
52. C。利用题目中的关键词雨，在原文中找到对应词语，在对应词语周围找到答案。A、B项均属于表面意思，且捕食原文中的具体事实，D项cool the soil不是最终目的。只有C项是具体事实：cool climate vegetables are now able to be grown．．．符合文中的the new system。
53. D。A、B、C项所述只是seawater所起的附带作用，并不是文章所指的主要方面，故正确答案为D。
54. D。找出多次重复的信息，它必定是主题。这类问题的典型形式是：What．．． main．．．／mainly．．．?要求考生指出文章的topic(论题)，subject(主题)，title(标题)，main idea(大意)等。seawater在原文中直接出现两次，间接出现三次：coldwater，cold ocean water，How did they use it? 等，故正确答案为D。
55. C。吃透作者意图，通过作者阐述的观点、叙述的事实等，避开表面现象，得出可靠结论。infer，imply (暗示)，suggest，conclude，assume (suppose)等常用于这类题中。A、D项均为字面意思。B项过于具体，只有C项为作者的真正意图
