(届广东省湛江市高三高考模拟测试(一)英语试卷)
阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The officials in the White House and CIA (中央情报局)are rejecting Edward Snowden's beg for mercy. “Mr. Snowden has been against the U.S. law,” White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said on Sunday about the former systems analyst who has turned fugitive (逃亡者) in Russia. “He should return to the US and face the justice and judgment, and there is no possibility for mercy and forgiveness.”
However, many people support Snowden and a sociology professor Svallfors in Sweden has recommended Snowden for the Nobel Peace Prize for his “heroic effort at great personal cost” disclosing the spying conducted by the National Security Agency of United States. He wrote, “Because of his bravery, Snowden helped to make the world a little bit better and safer”.
It may be too late for Snowden to receive the award this year, but the nomination should be taken seriously by the Nobel Prize committee for next year’s prize. If Snowden is awarded the prize in 2014, he would be the youngest Nobel Peace Winner in the history of the prize.

第二节:读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文。
Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are, it is the same with the challenges that come with friendship.
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices: we can try to beat if off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenges isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it and work through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” rather than “You hurt my feelings.” You are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up. It happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that’s a good thing.”

Halloween is very popular in western countries. On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes(节日服装)knock on their neighbors' doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among the young and the old. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!
Certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.
