AThe easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time. I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soonthere was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I sawDoug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick andlooking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. I don’t knowwho was more embarrassed (尴尬) by the whole thing—Doug or me.21. The writer’s purpose in writing this story is ________.A. to tell an interesting experienceB. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books22. Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. The canned orange had gone bad.2016 届高三第一次仿真考试（英语）第5页共14页B. She didn’t use the right kind of flour.C. The cookbook was hard to understand.D. She did not follow the directions closely.23. What made the dough in the bin looks frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.BWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets in other solar systems where life might exist,” he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting (沿…轨道运行) otherstars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in1995,” Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuckwith it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family” of threeplanets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like (像木星一样的)planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, thescientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough:it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiteris from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids (小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth.” Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have2016 届高三第一次仿真考试（英语）第6页共14页been destroyed.”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaceswhere water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is therean Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “Wewould have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and anEarth-like planet. And there may be life! ”24. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.25. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.26. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because ________.A. he has found the system similar to the solar systemB. he has discovered an Earth-like planet thereC. he has discovered a rocky planet thereD. he has found signs of life in the system27. “But we stuck with it” (in Paragraph 3) means ________.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressCDanielle Steel, America’s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the 2016 届高三第一次仿真考试（英语）第7页共14页book business.

He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, bright smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding.“Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. Then I turned back. “I really oweyou a debt of thanks,” I said softly.His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and volunteered, “Sir, but he doesn’t speak English. Do you want me to tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed.
