Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and y ou will see that I am in the majority.”Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”Yellow chuckled. “The sun is yellow, as well as the moon and the stars. Every time yo u look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.”Red could bear it no longer. “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life’s blood! I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love.”Purple s tood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty and power. I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”Finally Indigo spoke with determination, “Think of me and I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.”The colors went on boasting, each showing off his or her own advantages.Suddenly there came a flash of bright lightening.

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二第一次月考英语试卷第I卷（共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）注意：对应题号涂答题卡。
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。
AMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look."Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement(强化) to help motivate them."What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to . Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.21. How does the author start the passage?A. By comparing different views.B. By listing some evidence.C. By presenting some facts.D. By stating his own experiences.22. According to Susie Walton, _______.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids can get extra computer time for doing choresD. kids have the responsibility to share housework23. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing choresD. how to motivate kids to try new applications24. The purpose of writing the text is to __________.A. inform readers of two different opinionsB. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorC.invite readers to express their opinionsD.present the author’s viewpoint about parentingB“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Je ss ica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good. you know. Wasn’t yourgreat-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners .” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened？Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem betweenyou and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “they’re both crazy,” she thought.25.According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.A.a family honorB. a family treasureC.a family storyD.a family secret26.What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?A.They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B.They were the earliest people living in AustraliaC.They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D.They were not regarded as criminals in their day.27. Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ________.A. frightenedB. surprisedC.injuredD.knocked28. Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because_________.A. they were crazyB. they realized their misunderstandingC. they were overexcitedD.they both thought they bad won the quarrelCBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You d on’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean peo ple preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of article s on The New York Times’ website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that s cience amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”29 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. Research papers.B. Private e-mails.C. News reports.D. Daily conversations．30. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. T hey’re good at telling stories.C. They’re careful with their words.D.They’re inconsiderate of others.31.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A . Personal accounts. B. Sports news.C. Science articles.D. Financial reviews.32 .What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News Beats Bad on Social NetworksB .Reading Habits Change with the TimesC. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideD. Online News Attracts More PeopleDTea，the most typical English drink，became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess，Catherine of Braganza，the queen of Charles II．As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal，she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th century．The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes，and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day．Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the“tea break”. However，drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people．It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well． Around 1 800，the seventh Duchess of Bedford，Anne Maria，began the popular practiceof“afternoon tea，”a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock．Until then，people did notusually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner．At approximately the same time，theEarl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices，with something like jam or cucumbers between them．Before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon，involving tea and sandwiches，had become part of the British way of life．As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century，its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society．Thus，tea became Britain’s favorite drink．In working-class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor．This meal has become known as“high tea”．Today，tea can be drunk at any time of the day，and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain-with the exception of water．33．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its popularity in Europe．B．Its development in Britain．C．Its influence around the world．D．Its traditional ways of drinking．34．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London．B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink．C．It was too expensive for most people．D．It was forbidden in business settings.35．How is the text organized?A．In time order．B．By comparison．C．By cause and effect．D．In frequency order．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。

There also lived a group of frogs.On every warm night, the voices of the frogs cheerfully arose. Some voices were low and deep — these were from the oldest and wisest of the frogs. Some were high and shrill —these were from those who didn’t like to remember the days when they had tails and no legs.“Kerrump! I’m chief of this pond!”croaked (呱呱叫) a frog.“Kerrump! I’m chief of this pond!” replied another frog.A hungry crane was standing nearby, hidden by the grass that grew at the water’s edge. Hearing the voice of the first frog, he quietly walked towards him. The frog gave a frightened croak, and kicked violently to get away.The crane almost had him when something wound itself round one of his legs. He drew back for a second, and the frog got away! But the crane did not lose his dinner; a water snake curled around his leg, and that made a meal.Now he rested and listened. The first frog was silent, but the second frog croaked: “Kerrump! I’m chief of this pond!”The crane got hungry again and went round the pond, trying to catch the second frog.Just as he drew closer to the frog, the crane saw something that made him fly away. A mink (水貂) had crept very close to him, hoping to seize him for his meal! So the second frog got away, too; but he was so frightened that he never spoke again.After a long time, the crane got over his fear and became hungry once more. The frogs were singing again, and above them a ll, there boomed the voice of a third frog: “Kerrump! I’m chief of this pond!”The crane decided to silence him once and for all. He croaked and struggled in vain. But just then, a fox crept up behind the crane. The crane was seized and carried off screaming into the woods. So the third frog got away, but he never dared to open his mouth again.21. Why didn’t the crane catch the first frog?A. The frog kicked too violently.B.

With stories from Celtic lands, Vietnam and India, Simon creates a smooth and enjoyable set of stories that never make your mind in a mess. Told with his authentic (纯正的) United Kingdom accent and along with custom music by the storyteller and friends, the story collection is overall rather calming yet might surprise you in how quickly the layers of the tales take you into their welcoming.If we have any comment, it is that the track listings do not line up with what is listed on the packaging. It seems that the music between tracks has not been taken into account. While the music is very nice, it makes the story you want (at least the first time) a bit of an adventure. This is a minor point in an excellent CD. These days, people buy CDs and tracks of music and stories with the new electronic ways, but not everyone gives as much thought to the CD case as Simon has. Frankly, like all of his CD collections, the artwork is excellent. The teller and the artist (Rob Brookes) have joined forces to create both a visual and auditory (听觉的) adventure. Nicely done.Although age 8 and up is listed on the cover of the CD, in our opinion, it would most likely be best for listeners from the age of 10 and up —simply for the complexity（复杂）of the stories told. If you’d like to order a copy, take a look at or on .25.

Females and winter males have duller feathers that are olive yellow. The male’s black cap may disappear in winter or turn a dull black. Females don’t have the black cap on their heads. Both males and females have a small cone-shaped bill (鸟嘴).The goldfinch’s winter and breeding range includes southern Canada, most of the continental United States and parts of Mexico. The goldfinch can be found all year round on the upper east coast, on the west coast and in the mid-section of the United States. Northern populations spend winter in the southern U.S. and northern Mexico.The goldfinch lives in weedy fields and flood plains as well as cultivated land, orchards and gardens.The goldfinch’s diet is made up mostly of the seeds of grasses, weeds and other plants. It also eats th e seeds of trees like birch, alder and elm. It feeds during the day and usually gets seeds that are still on the plant. The goldfinch mates later than most birds. It is mainly a seed eater and it doesn’t nest until mid to latesummer, when there are lots of seeds from weeds and other plants. Because it mates so late in the year, it usually raises only one brood (一窝幼雏) a year.The female builds a cup-shaped nest in the fork of a tree or bush while the male keeps watch. The nest is made of plant fibers and bark and takes about six days to build. The female lays between four and six light blue eggs. The male feeds the female while she incubates (孵) the eggs. The eggs hatch in about two weeks. The chicks are born with their eyes closed. They open their eyes after about seven days and leave the nest when they are 10 to 16 days old.Goldfinches are very sociable and often gather in flocks with other birds. Some populations are short-distance migrators and move south in winter.29. What is the color of a male Ame rican goldfinch’s cap in winter?A. Red.B. White.C. Olive yellow.D. Dull black.30. What can we learn about the goldfinch’s life cycle?A. The goldfinch mates later than all the other birds.B. The male builds a nest while the female keeps watch.C. The female usually lays four to six eggs in a year.D. The chicks will leave the nest when they are 10 to 16 weeks old.31. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?A. The goldfinch always lives in the wild.B. The goldfinch mainly feeds on seeds.C. The goldfinch moves south in winter.D.

On September 12, researchers unveiled to the world a newly discovered species of monkey. The primate (灵长类动物) is called the lesula, short for its Latin name, Cercopithecus lomamiensis. The lesula is only the second monkey species discovered in 28 years. Scientists first saw the lesula in June 2007 in the town of Opala in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The lesula lives in the lowland rainforests of central DRC. The monkey found in Opala was the petof a local family. Researchers say the species was already well known to hunters. They found additional lesulas in the wild.The lesula has been compared to another species of monkey called Cercopithecus hamlyni, better known as the owl-faced monkey. This animal earns its name for having a long, flat nose and a face that looks like that of an owl. The lesula and the owl-faced monkey are similar in size and both have a stripe on their nose. These new findings on the lesula prove that the two monkeys are close relatives, but different species. Scientists say the lesula usually weighs about 12 pounds and measures about 20 inches. It has a mane (鬃毛) of long blond hair and a cream- colored stripe running down its nose. The lesula eats a vegetarian diet. Its habitat extends nearly 11,000 square miles across the DRC’s eastern central basin.Robert Kityo is a zoology professor at Uganda’s Makerere University. He says that the lesula discovery is proof that the eastern central basin is filled with species yet to be discovered. This new find also creates awareness about the importance of preserving African rainforests. Many forests are threatened by illegal logging (伐木) and hunting. Preserving these rainforests allows new species like the lesula to continue to grow and change.32. The monkey found in Opala _______.A. was the only living lesulaB. got lost from its groupC. was raised by a local familyD. was unknown to the hunters33. Why was the Cercopithecus hamlyni called the owl-faced monkey?A. It has the same color as owls.B. Its face looks like that of an owl.C. It eats the same diet as owls.D. It has the same strip on its nose as owls.34. The lesula discovery indicates that _____.A. many species remain to be discovered in eastern central basinB. illegal logging and hunting are the main threats to African rainforestsC. effective measures should be taken to control the exploration of the African rainforestsD. African rainforests are disappearing gradually because of lack of protection35. What’s the best title for the text?A. Threats Faced with Different Species of MonkeyB. A New Found MonkeyC. Preserving African RainforestsD. Comparison Between Two Monkey Species第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余的。
