Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyones heartwe all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(静静无闻)Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are notkind，handsome and desirable. Mary and Joeys paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesnt get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies. “The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point，”writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇影评。叙述的是一部以灰姑娘的童话故事为蓝本的一部新的电影Another Cinderella Story。1The first paragraph is mainly to _Ainform us of the importance to marry a princeBremind us why Cinderella is popular all the yearsCbuild interest and lead us to Marys secret dreamDtell us how interesting the fairy, tale Cinderella is解析：选C。段落大意题。考查同学对文章结构和目的的理解。从第一段和其次段可以找到直接联系，即第一段用于引出本文的话题，电影Another Cinderella Story。2In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _Ais brave in expressing her loveBis badly treated by the stepmotherChas a dream of meeting a princeDis embarrassed by the pop singer解析：选B。细节理解题。从文章的其次、三、四段可知，Mary的幻想是得到大家的认可并在舞蹈上获得成功。而她却不幸被她的继母当作女仆召唤。3The passage is mainly about _Aan introduction to Mary SantiagoBa review about a filmCan essay about dreamsDan advertisement of Cinderella解析：选B。推理推断题。依据全文可知这是一篇影评。BHow do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)？Around the holidays, many families dont consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return.Nothing says “Hey, we are not home! ”like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.Set several different lights in your house on random timers(随机定时器). Dont leave your outdoor lights on all the time.Instead，put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.Close all your curtains when you leave town.This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house.If they dont know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.【语篇解读】本文告知我们如何在假期里预防偷盗。4What is the main idea of the passage?

A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out, ”she says.“And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12，000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort，”she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”【语篇解读】全文叙述了Swan的新型设计Square Eyes shoes打算着孩子们看电视。8According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _Akeep a record of the steps of the wearerBdeal with overweight among teenagersCenable children to resist the temptation of TVDprevent children from being tricked by TV programs解析：选B。细节理解题。由第三段的最终两句话可以得出，Swan的方案就是想解决青少年的肥胖问题。9Which of the following is TRUE of Square Eyes shoes?AThey regulate a childs evening TV viewing time.BThey determine a childs daily pocket money.CThey have raised the hot issue of overweight.DThey contain information of the receiver.解析：选A。细节理解题。B项内容与本文无关；C项文中没涉及；D项的错误在于Square Eyes shoes并不包含receiver的信息。由其次段的最终一句话可得知A项正确。10Compared with other similar products, the new design _Amakes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheatBcounts the wearers steps through shakingCrecords the sudden movement of the wearerDsends teenagers health data to the receiver解析：选A。细节理解题。由最终一段的第三句话可以看出，这种新型鞋可以让那些懒散的孩子难以作弊。11Which of the following would be the best title for the text?ASmart Shoes Decide on Television TimeBSmart Shoes Guarantee More ExerciseCSmart Shoes Measure Time of ExerciseDSmart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight解析：选A。主旨大意题。全文叙述了Swan的新型设计Square Eyes shoes打算着孩子们看电视。DChina is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶)A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant(休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed，you are effectively driving all electric car, with no gasoline being used，and no waste gas gives off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two.If you go over 24 km/h，when you step on the gas pedal(油门)，you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the cars batteries will last for around 200，000 miles.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一种新型环保汽车。12The author writes this passage mainly to _Ateach people how to drive a hybrid carBintroduce a new kind of “green” carCshow how to save their gasoline when driving a carDannounce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China解析：选B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者想要介绍一种新型环保的汽车。13The first sentence in Paragraph 1 probably refers to _Athere will be more and more green land in ChinaBChina is still young and lacking experienceCChinas new cars are combinations of different green modelsDChina has started producing environmentally friendly cars解析：选D。句意理解题。通过阅读第一段可以知道，中国现在对环境问题格外重视，通过生产环保型汽车改善环境。故选D。14Which of the followings is NOT true?AThe hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oilshortages.BThe cars gasoline engine doesnt work until it reaches about 24 km/h. CThis kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.DA specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.解析：选C。推理推断题。由其次、三、四段可得出答案。15What can we condclude from the story?AThe batteries can be recharged at any time you want.BUsing the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.CThe batteries will last for 200，000 miles without being recharged.DThe gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.解析：选D。细节理解题。从最终一段的其次句话可以知道答案。其次节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。(2022哈尔滨第三中学第一次高考模拟)Although problems are a part of our lives，it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
