英语周报高考模拟试题一及答案(2)
D
The Puritans (清教徒) get a bad reputation in America-especially when it comes to alcohol.
Mayflower, the first ship that came over from England to Massachusetts Bay, actually carried more beer than water. In fact the Founding Fathers of America liked a drink-Samuel Adams was a partner in his father’s brewery, and Thomas Jefferson was famous for importing European wines.
Early Americans took a healthful small drink for breakfast, whiskey was a typical lunchtime drink, ale (麦芽酒) accompanied supper and the day ended with another drink called nightcap. Most Americans in 1790 consumed an average of 5.8 gallons of pure alcohol a year. In 1830, consumption reached 7.1 gallons a year and alcoholism was starting to have a serious influence on communities. Women and children might be in physical danger if the man of the house began drinking. If he became ill or lost his job through drinking, there was no social safety net to support or protect his family. Eventually, alcoholism was being treated as a disease.
By the late 19th Century, support for Prohibition, banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol, was powerful. The first arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol was in 1897. On 16 January 1919, Prohibition was set into law. However, by the 1930s when American economy was experiencing a hard time it was widely believed that making alcohol legal again would provide badly-needed jobs and taxes. So in February of 1933, Prohibition was ended. Still, Prohibition had a great influence on alcohol drinking in this country. In 1955, Americans drank an average of 2.3 gallons of pure alcohol a year. The Prohibition movement was still quite strong after Prohibition ended and it led to a lot of local prohibition on alcohol.
The American presidency has done a lot to rehabilitate alcohol and make it respectable again. Presidents Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama can all be seen on film drinking socially and making official toasts with international celebrities.

A. His family couldn’t afford the drink.

D. His family might not be treated equally.
34. What can be learned about Prohibition in America?
A. It came into law in the 19th century.
B. It discouraged alcohol drinking.
C. Its effect disappeared after its removal.
D. It failed to forbid drunk driving.
35. The passage mainly talks about ________.

Five Things Ambitious People Never Say
◆“I can’t do this-it’s too hard.”

Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you easy to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. 37 . Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.

We can always hear voices comparing the education systems in China and the US. It’s true that 61 exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse 62 having a passive attitude toward studying in China.
When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard for 63 (we) students, and that we didn’t get to do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. My mom had a long talk with me. After that, I realized that though high school life in China is harder, it can give us 64 (much). The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition 65 we step into society. It gives us a strong heart and 66 (teach) us to step forward no matter what the 67 (real) is. It’s like climbing a mountain. You might feel dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there 68 (wait) for you as long as you are strong enough 69 (take) one more step.

Once, when l was a teenager, my father and l were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family among us and the ticket counter.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter, saying you are hoping to be a volunteer in 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games, and it together with Zhangjiakou is the host of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. I’d like to give you two suggestions on how to learn Chinese well. First, speak a little Chinese every day. The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to speak it. Second, attend a Chinese class or discussion group. After all, language learning settings are of great importance.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to write to me.
Yours
Li Hua
