Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph(留声机), the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but he was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. He was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas Edison then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent(专利) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. The stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on atape.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work.56. Of all Edison’s inventions, ______ was probably the most important formankind.A. the electric lightB. the stock-tickerC. the vote recorderD. the motion picture camera57. Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.a. Edison worked as a newsboy.b. Edison moved to Port Huron.c. Edison got his first patent.d.

However, bridge experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.However, Roebling thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington that the bridge in fact could be built.With great excitement and inspiration, and great hardships before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge in 1869.The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.Now all he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By touching his wife’s arm with that finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, telling the engineers what to do, until the bridge was finally completed.60.

It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive(有好处的) to happiness. We can choose to refuse to think about the unhappy events. If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.What is happiness? It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or confused thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside,triggered(触发) by outer events.For most people happiness seems passing quickly. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation(冥想). As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life:Try hard to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side.Think of solutions, not problems.Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking ofpleasant things.68. For most people happiness seems passing quickly because _______.A. they let changing outer circumstances affect themB. they hope that even greater happiness will comeC. they have no friends to share happiness with themD. they don’t want to achieve any greater happiness69. We can learn from the passage that our happiness is _______.A. that we own a great deal of moneyB. to achieve the goal we havebeen seekingC. a feeling of inner peace and satisfactionD. the feeling that we areadmired by others70. According to the author happiness depends on _______.A. outer circumstancesB. our attitude toward itC. the conditions we haveD. the objective world71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Happiness Is the Goal in Daily Life.B. Happiness Exists in Everyone’s Mind.C. Happiness Can Be Chosen by Us.D. Tips for happiness in Daily Life.EThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land,”Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC, said.According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources, such as gasoline, and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats. Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise(高层的) building.According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption(消费量) by one-third and our water by 50 percent.The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自动地) turn off when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows. This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.72. Green buildings are _______.A. far away from public transportationB. built in the forestsC. earth-friendlyD. often built on developing land73. Green buildings are built near public transportation mainly for the purposeof ______.A. taking buses or subways easilyB. saving natural resourcesC. driving private cars lessD. protecting the environment 74. The Solaire is thought to be “green ” because it ________. A. locates near a forest B. lies close to stores C. reduces energy and water use D. was built with green materials 75. Which of the following is used to cut energy consumption in the Solaire? A. Closing windows as long as possible. B. Reducing the time of using lights. C. Recycling solar power. D. Using natural resources.●●●●●……第二卷:第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

高二上学期英语第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)1. 阅读理解In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression inother animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that myweakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people holddoors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I havediscovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, butsometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I seedaily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possibleto avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only whenwe stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show t he kindnessthat’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I beganto feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatientand angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning or even shouting at me. At that momentI decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I puton the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other driver s,”I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyoneunderstood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get aroundme because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient andangry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave evenwhen we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it wouldbe better if we don’t pretend we feel strong wh en we feel weak or pretend that weare brave when we are scared.(1)The author feels sad sometimes because .A . he has a soft heartB . some people fail to see the kindness in othersC . some people pretend to be kindD . he relies much on others(2)What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A . They waited with patience.B . They speeded up to pass.C . They tried their best to help.D . They put on their flashlights too.(3)Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A . A Wheelchair Experience.B . A Driving ExperienceC . Weakness and StrengthD . Weakness and Kindness.2. 阅读理解I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water,just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, thenfinance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal —that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.(1)What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A . I was waiting for good fortune.B . I was trying to find an admirable job.C . I was being aimless about a suitable job.D . I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.(2)The author decided to write a novel .A . to finish the writing courseB . to realize her own dreamC . to satisfy readers’ wishD . to earn more money(3)How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A . Disturbed.B . Ashamed.C . Confident.D . Uncertain.(4)What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A . It pays to stick to one’s goal.B . Hard work can lead to success.C . She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D . There is no end in sight when starting to do something.3. 阅读理解Doctors inhospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arriveswith a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance isa medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are commoncauses of accidental poisoning.In cases likethis, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever causedthe poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stopsthe effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim.That way, doctors can examine it.Millions ofpeople know a way to save a person who is choking onsomething trapped in the throat.The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts, which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standingperson. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball.Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other handon top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts untilthe object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat,place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Crossexperts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominalthrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method coulddelay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should beused only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn moreabout first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red CrescentSociety for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.(1)According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?A . A harmful medicineB . A cleaning liquidC . Poisonous insectsD . Dangerous pesticide(2)The underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 can be re placed by “ “.A . coming outB . taking upC . going awayD . getting down(3)Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?A . Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue effortsB . Because it is hard to performC . Because it is no need to do soD . Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim(4)What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A . To promote medical researchB . To share some knowledge about first aidC . To show how to perform abdominal thrustsD . To help people deal with accidental poisoning4. 阅读理解GET YOUR DEGREE AT HOME!Have you ever wondered whata Degree might be worth to you in your job or career ?

I was 13 years old, sobbing in the car the whole way home as my school uniform stuck to my wet skin.The previous hour in the hydrotherapy(水疗)pool haunted me and I remembered how my weak neck gave way and my head slipped under the water, flooding my ears and nose.Physiotherapists circled around me, comforting me that I was OK. But my body didn't feel like it was mine. I had lost control. My swimming days were over.I was born with spinal muscular atrophy (脊髓性肌萎缩症), a genetic disease. It causes severe weakness in my limbs and, since I was a toddler (学步的儿童), I've used an electric wheelchair. My disability means I've never been able to stand or walk,but in the water, I was weightless and could move more freely.Swimming had once meant a lot to me, but after spinal surgery to try to combat the illness it became increasingly difficult. Visiting the hydrotherapy pool was alast-ditch attempt to return to the water. When the moment arrived, it was stressful.My tears weren't just because of the loss - they were an acceptance, too. I made the decision: I was never going back in the water again.For the first time as a young adult, I had to advocate for myself. Like other people with disabilities, I often feel societal pressure to push myself. Recognizing that swimming was unsafe and uncomfortable was a tough lesson about accepting the limitations of my body.I had to find other ways to connect with the water and my loss. Swimming is now impossible, but I still take joy from seeing my family and friends in thewater.Swimming was the first big physical loss in my life, and I know there will be others as I age, Everyday tasks I can complete now, such as cleaning my teeth or feeding myself, may become too difficult as the years pass. I've learned it's OK to miss what my body could do before and find ways to adapt and enjoy what I can do.24.How did the author feel on the way home from the hydrotherapy pool?A.ExcitedB.AshamedC.UpsetD. Relieved.25.What role did swimming serve for the author?A. A method to stay fit.B. A source of freedom.C. A proof of her ability.D. A way to connect with others.26.What does the underlined phrase “advocate for myself”in paragraph 5 imply?A.The author complained about his misfortune.B. The author forgave himself for his limitations.C. The author defended himself for his giving up.D. The author praised himself for his last attempt.27.What did the author intend to do in the end?A. Accept support from others.B. Learn new skills to push her limits.C.Avoid staying near the water.D. Seek joy within her capabilities.C篇Solar panels-also known as “photovoltaic" panels are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Bec ause these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics".The idea isn't as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架).On the water, floatovotaics are placed on a floating platform attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide.They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large-more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year and 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation(热发)from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.Floatovoltaics aren't perfect, Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To list solar panels' unusual functions.B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.C. To introduce the work ability of floating solar panels.D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.29.How did researchers carry out the new study?A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.B. By making computer-aided estimates.C. By building floatovoltaic farms in the US.D. By processing data given by specialists.30.What do we know about floating solar panels?A. They are perfect except for the high cost.B. They function well in extreme hot weather.C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.31. What is the suitable title for the text?A. Floating Solar Panels-Making Energy, Saving WaterB. Floating Solar Panels-A New Way to Cool the PlanetC. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final ChoiceD. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to WaterD篇When drones(元人机)first became widely available around 15 years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to find tech people painting dramatic pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky,you can see that hasn’t happened yet.Sure, drones eful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we're a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with autonomous drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery. In a video, we saw an Amazon"Prime Air" drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer's garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn't completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly downsized the drone program.So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some indications of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa, Because also since 2016, rural hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments of medical supplies by drone thanks to a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks to the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here?Unfortunately,there's a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don't have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones constantly landing around the neighborhood. Another reality is that British cities may still have security and safety concerns about routinely having drones carrying stuff over our heads.That's why 1 wonder if the real drone future could be crawling(爬) along the ground. For a few years,“autonomous delivery robots”with wheels have been walking on the pavements. So perhaps we're not so far away from a drone delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit more down to earth.32.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Drones are widely used in daily life.B. Drones have made delivery efficient.C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos.D. Drones haven't changed the world as expected.33.Why does the author mention Zipline's drone delivery?A. To explain the process of drone delivery.B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery.C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future.D. To show ts advantages over Amazon's drone delivery.34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The security and safety concerns about drones.B. The ways that British people react to drone delivery.C. The differences between African countries and Britain.D.The reasons why drone delivery isn't suitable for Britain.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Pie in the SkyB. Drone Application at RiskC. Robots on the RoadD. Aerial Delivery in Progress第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam(蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.Each August, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me forAunt Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all, the woman was old, wealthy,very strict with children. Whenever she was at the house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue.One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.I now have the blueberry j am recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s e ye Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me,it was just a common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.25.Paragraph 2 infers that my mother .A. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipeB. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skillsC. was unabl e to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s directionD. tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep the secret26.According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that Aunt Fanni was rich because .A. she had kept her first quarterB. she had never wasted moneyC. she had worked very hardD. she had kept her promise27.The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we .A. share our wealth with othersB. have good fortune and moneyC. know the secret of a jam recipeD. own lasting love and friendship 28.Which would be the best title for this passage?A. An old quarterB. Valuable ThingsC. Blueberry Jam RecipeD. Memories of old timeCHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a superior around--- parent, a teacher, a boss---who knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive(好争斗的) without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fe ar. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive--- he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And on ce you do you can learn to speak out.29. The problem the writer talks about is that __________.A. some people buy things they don't wantB. there are too many superiorsC. some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsD. some people don't think enough of themselves30. The A.T. Course often _______.A. help people become more importantB. make people distrust their own answersC. make things more favorable for "superiors"D. help people know as much as their "superiors"31. One thing the A.T. Course don't do is to __________.A. share the need of peopleB. help people to help themselves even if others sufferC. show they have a right to be themselvesD. help peo ple overcome fear32.The underlined word “timid” in this passage probably means ________?A. braveB. activeC. shyD. angryDThe dark chocolate is one of the favourite food choices by many. The taste is simply irresistible (不可抵抗的), the smell i s inviting and the feel of every bite is surely what you are longing for.Apart from the taste, you simply cannot resist it because it has a lot of benefits when it comes to your health. Our health is our priority (首要事情) when it comes to the choice of our foods. If you worry that the chocolate is bad for your health, then here is a list of the effects of dark chocolate to health especially when taken with the right amount every day.First of all , it contains a component called falconoid (类黄铜) which acts as an antioxidant (抗氧化剂). The antioxidants fight the common signs of aging. The antioxidants are also good for the heart. Studies have shown that people who ate f oods rich in antioxidants have low risk of heart diseases.In addition to the anti-aging and healthy heart benefits, the dark chocolate can also lower blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol (胆固醇) to as high as 10%. Lowering of blood pressure in patients of high blood level is good because it will lower the risks of stroke and certain health crisis. Low levels of blood cholesterol are also good for the heart and take away the risk of blood vessels which may harden for too much cholesterol in them.Lastly, do you know the feeling of being overjoyed after jogging? This feeling is like extreme happiness. Dark chocolates will give you the feeling of pleasure and happiness. If you are feeling that the world has turned against you, then a chocolate can be a mood lifter. It can help fight d epression. Usually when we feel so bad, we would crave to eat more food. If you are looking for something to eat during your bad moments, try to take a bite from a dark chocolate and feel good somehow after it.These are commonly the effects of chocolates to health.
