AAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” inst ead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone”instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York times calls Singlish a “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民)from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singapore, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabula ry such as “meesiam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like “toilet where” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors. It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporeans.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives them credit for —they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching —we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we present ourselves in the boardroom or at school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine. “To actively urge us to give up a language that sp eaks to the very heart of who we are, that so beautifully represents the melting pot of the Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is short-sighted surely.”1.Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A It is made up of migrants.B It is highly westernized.C It is influenced by Chinese.D It is affected by official languages.2.What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A To stop the new trend.B To better the relationship.C To keep the English standard.D To give the government credit.3.What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C People speak Singlish only to friends and drivers.D People can use Singlish to express themselves well.BCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary(兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve people’s understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behaviour in order to aid in conservation, breeding programmes, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the fields gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves.Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programmes. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programmes, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people who love animals.4.What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A To help governments make laws.B To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C To create safe and effective products for humans.D To educate people to protect animals.5.What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A Better understand animals.B Protect the animals’ health.C Clean the animals’ cages.D Increase the number of animals.6.What does the passage mainly present?A Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B A new idea of careers in zoology.C Different types of careers in zoology.D Effective measures of animal protection.CWhen my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimms' Fairy Tales and read “Snow White ” to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow White’s stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.This came as something of a shock. I always thought fairy tales had happy endings. And I didn’t want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking: “Thank goodness they tortured (折磨) that old wom an to death.” That’s when I decided to write fairy tales.In the years that followed, I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at bedtime. The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and The Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocolus’s Devil is a new version of the Faust legend. Nicobobinus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and took up all things girls have to do—who’s friends with who, who suck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.Nicobobinus, a boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innocent world. He lived a long time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could, and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway. Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times ca lled me “an author setting out to rival the classic fairy tales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.7.What led the writer to start writing fairy tales for his daughter?A The frightening ends of the past fairy tales.B His daughter’s strong interest in fairy tales.C His desire to let his daughter know more stories.D His attempt to fill his daughter’s bedtime with something.8.We can infer from the third paragraph that the writer______.A was a very productive fairy tale writerB based all his stories on some old legendsC never described witches in his fairy talesD created his stories out of his own interest9.When creating Nicobobinus, the first thing the writer considered was ______.A what stories the publisher wanted to getB the changes of his daughter’s interestsC the ways to keep his daughter innocentD the difference of the story from other stories10.The underlined word “rival” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _______.A followB exploreC challengeD recommend第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She rolled her window.“Hey!” She shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”The man looked to be in his 60s. He laughed, saying, "Actually, I have a wedding to go this week. I am really hoping to get a haircut. ""I'll be right back," Steller said.She drove off, went to the salon (美发厅) she owns, and moved a red chair into her car. en she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat. She started to give him a haircut. He told her about his growing up in Mississippi and moving to Minnesota to be closer to adult children. After the haircut was done, Edward looked in a mirror and said gladly, "I look good!”To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. It's more than haircut.

Now, Earther reports that a team of scientists from Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK has published the most detailed data yet on the continent's subglacial topography （冰川下的地形）near the South Pole.As they report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, central Antarctica is home to three large canyons （峡谷）, one of which is deeper than the Grand Canyon and nearly as wide at some points. The researchers made the discovery by flying a plane with radar over the South Pole, a spot that isn't covered by satellites. They expected to find mountains beneath the ice sheet, but the wide canyons they found between the mountains came as a surprise.Of the three canyons, two hadn't been documented previously. The largest, the Foundation Trough （基础槽），measures 218 miles long, up to 22 miles wide, and 6,260 feet deep, putting it up there with the planet's most impressive canyons.The discoveries are significant on their own, but the real purpose behind the research is to better understand how the West and East Antarctic ice sheets will react to rising temperatures. Human-caused climate change has made some of the continent's ice not firm, and the West Antarctic ice sheet especially has been slowly melting to the sea. If patterns continue, the coastal glaciers supporting the large ice sheets could fall down, causing sea levels to rise a minimum of 10 feet. If this happens, the canyons could be a major factor in the speed and direction of ice flow from central Antarctica to the coast.The event isn't likely to happen in the near future, but further study o£ Antarctica's topography will allow scientists to better predict when it might.8．Which of the following have scientists known little?A．The shape of Antarctica ice.B．The condition of Antarctica ice.C．The Grand Canyon.D．The beneath of Antarctica ice.9．Which of the following is found by a plane with radar?A．The Grand Canyon.B．The mountains.C．Three large canyons.D．Ice sheets.10．How do the scientists feel about finding the wide canyons?A．Unexpected. B．Interesting.C．Ridiculous. D．Common.11．What's the aim of the study?A．To document the three canyons.B．To find out how large the three canyons are.C．To know how ice sheets react to rising temperatures.D．To show the importance of the three canyons.Hugging a dog is one of the life's greatest joys. It is like experiencing a love drug, which is quite true.Dogs and humans always interact with each other. And if you get to have dogs and hug them every day, you just might live longer than people who don't have to clean animal hair off their clothes, according to a pair of studies recently.The studies, published in the journal Circulation：Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of death-over the 12-year period studied-for people with heart disease. When you look at all the evidence around dog ownership and their health, it's pretty clear the signal is real.We’ve known forever that owning a dog increases one's physical activity. Regardless of weather, you have to get out and walk the dog. Otherwise, you might stay home and watch TV. Owning a dog makes you spend more time outdoors, and time spent outdoors improves health. Owning a dog or interacting with a dog even for a short term also reduces blood pressure. Andthe biggest advantage of having a dog is what it does for mental health. We see very beneficial effects on depression and anxiety.Many of us may not have a dog. And these studies have finally convinced someone to get one. We've thought of dogs as a form of comfort. The study forces a rethinking of pets in our society. We've started out with dogs as accomplices during hunts as hunter-gatherers. Gradually, we selected for traits of loyalty and friendship. At this point, many of us can totally see the basic reasons why dogs improve our sense of well-being, reduce loneliness and can be an improvement to our physical and mental health.12．Who might live longer according to the study?A．People who hate dogs. B．People who have dogs.C．People who haven't dogs. D．People who like bathing pets. 13．What can we infer about getting a dog in paragraph 3?A．It can cure heart disease.B．It can help improve health.C．It can make people more energetic.D．It can stop people from getting ill.14．What is the largest benefit of getting a dog?A．Improving physical health.

2020-2021学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题 (I)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AFlorence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so”, she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen —and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.1. When she was a child, Florence _______.A. loved to travel very muchB. knew what her duty in life wasC. loved to help the sick peopleD. want to learn music and drawing in the future2. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where _______.A. she earned a little moneyB. work was very difficultC. few soldiers died because of her workD. she didn’t have enough food or clothes3. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B. She wrote a book on public health.C. She worked as a nurse all her life.D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.4. The passage can best be described as _______.A. the life story of a famous womanB. a description of the nursing workC. an example of successful educationD. the history of nursing in EnglandBA new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn."Even if panies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers pared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive(认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe" activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.5. What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards panies claiming that their toys are educational?A. supportiveB. indifferentC. uninterestedD. doubtful6. We can learn from the text that babies in the research __________.A. liked traditional toys better than electronic toysB. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysC. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toysD. listened to audio recordings of their parents7. Children develop language more quickly when their parents __________.A. read them picture books oftenB. teach them how to speakC. buy them a lot of toysD. throw away their electronic toys8. According to Adrienne Appell, playing __________.A. can’t take the place of learningB. shouldn’t take most of children’s timeC. is good to children’s overall developmentD. can’t develop children’s cognitive skillsThere was a time,not so long ago, when I was busy,busy.At least I thought I was.I told people I worked 60 hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a night.As I plained to anyone stuck next to me at parties, I was basically too busy to breathe.Now I work 45 hours a week and sleep close to eight hours a night.But I’m not getting any less done.My secret?I started keeping track of how I spent my time,recording how many hours and minutes I devoted to different activities,sleep and chores.I soon realized I’d been lying to myself about where the time was going.What I thought was a 60-hours workweek wasn’t even close.I would have guessed I spent hours doing dishes when in fact I spent minutes.I spent much time lost on the Internet or hanging about,unsure exactly what I was doing.I’m not alone in this time fog.If you believe results from some studies, plenty of people have false impressions of how they spend time in our “too-rushed-to-breath”world.We all have the same 168 hours per week-a number of people think it over even as they talk about “24-7”with abandon--but since time passes whether we admit it or not.We seldom think through exactly how we’re spending our hours.We also live in a petitive society, and so by plaining about our overwork,we show that we devoted to our jobs and our families.Being “busy”and “starved for time”is a way to show we matter.Put another way,it makes us feel important.But if you think about it,plaining about a very long to-do list is not only boring,it’s sad excuse for one’s self-esteem(自尊).Owning up to how we spend our hours gives us more control of our time, and finally,of our lives.9.What does the author mainly talk about in the first two paragraphs?A.He was made so busy all by himself.B.He was once terribly busy every day.C.He has a good six-hour sleep a night.D.He was too busy to stand his daily life.10.The expression “24-7”(in Para.6)mos t probably means______.A.7 hours a day for rest or sleepB.7days a week and 24 hours a day.C.7 hours taken away from 24 hoursD.work hours decreased from 24to7.11.To settle our “time fog”,the author thinks,we should first_______.A.build up self-confidence in our daily lifeB.B.give up plaining about our lengthy to-do list.C.know that it’s important to own enough available timeD.make it clear how much time we have improperly used.12.What will the author most probably talk about next?A.Why you are so busy.B.Where your time goes.C.How to control your time.D.How to evaluate work time.DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has bee an area of study in modern life.13.. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The bear.B. The fox.C. The small bird.D. The white butterfly.14.When , certain animals change their choosing of food.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells15.We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman,took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Dag uerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many picture of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were nor just copies of the real world. They showed and feelings, like other kinds of art.4. The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of ____________A．his business B．his house C．his garden D．his window5. The Daguerrotype was____________.A．a Frenchman B．a kind of picture C．a kind of camera D．a photographer6. If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to__________.A．watch lots of films B．buy an expensive cameraC．stop in most cities D．take many films and something else with him.CWhen a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up． "Storm chasing (追逐)" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain．If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season． Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．"Storm chasing is 95％driving," says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．"Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley．"Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．"7. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm8. Beginners of storm chasing are advised______A not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer9. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author meansthat_____A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on earth10. What can we learn from the text?____A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It's somewhat difficult to figure out the rules for sure. Here, one bell means “elephant”, two, “rhino”(犀牛), and three and four, I really can't remember for what, because when you're awoken by bells in the middle of the night, your first thought won't be “Animal!”. But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm, I was running for the stairs.A baby African buffalo and a baby rhino stood a couple feet apart, staring at each other. Behind them, their mothers were looking on with the kind of indifference of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game.Of course, I'm the only one watching the animalsstare-down. Either everyone else died of a heart attack when the bells went off, or I was the only one in the entire hotel who didn't turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.The Ark, a hotel shaped like the biblical ark(圣经的方舟), lies in the highlands of Kenya's Aberdare National Park, about 100 kilometers north of Nairobi. At the Ark's prow(船首) are huge windows overlooking a waterhole. Earlier tonight, I'd watched a pack of wolves, buffaloes and elephants. And now, at three or so in the morning, I'm down for rhino bells. The first time, 2.5 hours ago, it was a single black rhino, which came down, got a drink, and left.I'd have been sorry for the lost sleep. I've already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called “should-never-miss” bird-watching, where we'll get to see 30 species, but really, how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say, “Wow! Rhino!” Isn't that the definition of a pretty good night? Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya. Before I left home, I thought I'd be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip. I didn't dare to dream the rhino.4. The message that the hotel's bells sent was _______________.A. significant for visitors to avoid dangerB. a matter that all visitors had got used toC. hard for the author to remember in detailD. a wise alarm the author had never heard of5. What did the author see at about 3:00 a.m.?A. Rhinos and buffaloes were fighting for water.B. A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.C. A buffalo was watching its baby play with rhinos.D. A boat-shaped hotel was overlooking a waterhole.6 . What can we learn from the passage?A. The author likes all the animals.B. The author has only interest in rhinos.C. There are various wild animals near the Ark.D. The author didn’t sle ep well during the whole trip.7. What's probably the author's attitude towards the bell?A. It should be turned off when it rings.B. It’s b othering but rewarding.C. It is a bad way to wake the guests up.D. It brings visitors a chance to see buffaloes.CIt was back in 2014. I learned I needed an operation to remove the tumor (肿瘤). Hearing the word “cancer” was the first shock, but knowing t he surgeon would have to cut the front of my neck open was a lot to swallow. I was relieved to learn that thyroid (甲状腺) cancer can be treated if caught early, but 1 wasn’t thrilled it would mean a lifelong scar front and center on my neck.Back at home, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I admired my neck, running my finger across a delicate gold chain I wore. Then came a tiny voice, “Mommy!” My then five year -old son. Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. Se e, my son didn’t know I had been diagnosed (诊断) with the Big C, or that I was having an operation. I patiently explained my condition to him and told him I would have a scar on my neck after the operation.I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn’t want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I was his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it’s how you deal with them that matters.The operation was successful. The recovery process, bearing it all, in the grocery store, out to dinner with family and on the summer camp pickup line, made me realize, if I could get throughthis phase (阶段),I could bear the scar of survival forever. The scar proves I looked at fear in the face and won.People will ask about my scar even though it’s a very thindull line five years later.
