I was sent to some of the city's worst neighborhoods to t ry to sell subscriptions by showing the paper doortodoor. Eve n though I was often scrambling (moving with difficulty) aroun d after dark in bad areas searching for tatty (简陋的) apartments, I was grateful for the work.It was a challenge because people didn't like a stranger knock ing on their door, especially a kid trying to get them to buy so mething. One time, a man slammed his door in my face and s creamed, “I don't want the damn paper.” I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the to p subscription sellers and like other successful salesmen, was given responsibility for training newcomers.Around this time, I started playing the guitar. Before long I wa s playing in a band at chill cooking competitions and other eve nts. When I turned 18, I focused my attention on becoming a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. I'm sur e my perseverance(毅力) came from what I learned knocking on strangers' doors. That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute with a former manager. He pressured me to back off from the job, but I refused. Having all those doors slammed in my face as a kid gave me t he strength to stand up to this intimidating (令人生畏的) figure. Except this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no. And I won.56. What was the author at the age of 14?A. SalesmanB. Job trainerC. StudentD. cook57.

Fortune had 30 minutes to try them both out. While Apple cl early adjusted last year’s models--- one much more than the other--- instead of entirely remaking them, the latest iPads seemingl y uphold com pany’s reputation for making quality products. iPad Air 2The new 9.7-inch tablet (平板) looks a lot like last year’s model, but manages to be 18% slimmer--- a design that makes the iPad Air 2 thinner than a pencil. It’s the thinnest tablet on the market. A new screen cuts glare and reflections by half, according to the Apple. And now there’s T ouch ID, the same fingerprint scanning technology found in la st year’s iPhone 5s that users unlock their devices by placing a finger on the home button.The iPad Air’s other improvements includes a faster proce ssor and graphics chip, a Burst mode feature that quickly get a series of photos and more storage on iPad models priced $ 599 and above. It will be available starting Oct.24.iPad mini 3If the larger iPad received something of a face improvementthis year, its smaller sister got a half-hour facial. Available Oct.24, the iPad mini 3 is more portable thanks to its 7.9-inch size, but there’s very little new here besides the addition of Touch ID. And yes, the iPad Mini 3 offers more storage on model priced $499 and over, but again, the iPad Air 2 does th at, too.In fact, the iPad mini 3 is largely similar to last year’s mode l down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that ha ndling the device gave me déjà vu(似曾相识). Compared to the Air 2, it’s noticeably thicker, runs slower and lacks the Air 2’s glare-resistant screen. It’s still a solid, affordable tablet--- it just doesn’t offer much that’s new.61. Which isn’t the description of the iPad Air 2?The iPad Air 2 is the thinnest tablet on the marketThe iPad Air 2’s new screen cuts glare and reflections by half The iPad Air 2’s tablet looks different from last year’s model The iPad Air uses the same fingerprint scanning technology a s iphone5s62. Tom should pay ____ for one iPad Air 2 and two iPad mini 3 for his family asthe Christmas gifts ?A. more than $1697B. no less than $1 597C. no more than $1497D. less than $139763. We can infer from the passage that ____________A. It’s the Apple company’s entirely reformed productB. The iPad mini 3 runs more quicker than the iPad Air 2C The iPad mini 3 is much thicker than the iPad Air 2.D. People can buy the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini3 starting from Oct.2464. What can we know about the iPad mini 3?A. The iPad mini 3 priced $ 599B. The iPad mini 3 has the iPad Air 2’s glare-resistant screenC. The iPad mini 3 is totally different to last’s model down to s ome aspectsD. The iPad mini 3 is still a solid, affordable tablet65. The best title for this passage can be __________A. The new products launch of Apple companyB. The differences between iPad Air 2 and iphone 5sC. The introduction of iPad Air 2D. The similarities of iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3CFor a country where many major holidays can date back to thousands of years, Singles Day is a refreshingly recent inven tion. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, but th e most widely-accepted story is that it came from the dorms of Nanjing Univ ersity in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life.Why could such a holiday go from local to national in less t han two decades? It likely has a lot to do with ’s culture. The c ountry has a serious sex gap and there’s heavy family pressur e on many young Chinese men and women to find a suitable partner and marry young, so young people of both sexes cele brated the holiday as a kind of release. Singles Day was abou t being with friends and having fun before, but now, it is about shopping – mostly online shopping. How did an underground youth holiday go corporate? The short answer is Alibaba.By the late 2000s, there might have been some small shop s online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no m ajor company bought into the holiday until Alibaba launched it s first Singles Day online sale in 2009. 2010 changed things. Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discou nts and other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. Over the next few y ears, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese electronic commerce pla yers all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew rapidly.About the company’s plans for Singles Day, Tmall CEO Wa ng Yulei said that Alibaba’s“core keyword” this year is globali zation, and want consumers to be able to buy products from a ll over the world. Amazon , too, is making moves towards taki ng the holiday global. Even JD is looking at the international market in the long run. Of course, there’s still a long way to go before Singles Day is a truly global phenomenon, and it may never get there. But the commercial aspects of the holiday ar e already big enough to be of interest to the global Chinese di aspora, and where it spreads from there is anyone’s guess.66.

Endorphin helps to relax muscle s, decrease pain and reduce anxiety.Yoga is also another method for relaxation and may also have similar effects like acupuncture. In another study, participants suffer from several minutes of mental stress. Then they turn t o various relaxation techniques, such as listening to nature so unds or classical music. Only those who did Yoga significantly reduced the time it took for their blood pressures to go back t o normal.Breathing is one of the easiest methods to relax.

高二年级第一次月考试卷（英语）第一部分阅读理解。

（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每题 2 分，共30 分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项 A 、 B、 C、 D 中，选出最正确选项。

A.I travel a lot, and I find out different― styles‖ of directions every time I ask― Ho the post office?‖Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’ t have names; inJapan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanesewill say to travelers,― Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruitmarket. The post office is across from the bus stop.‖In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There areno mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example,people will say,― Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.‖People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distancein time, not miles.― How far away is the post office?‖ you ask.― Oh,‖ they answer,― i minutes from here.‖ You say,― Yes, but how many miles away is it?‖ They don’ t know.It ’ s true that a person doesn’ t know the answer to yourometimesquestion. Whats happens insuch a situation? A New Yorker might say,― Sorry, I have no ideaucatan,. Mexico,‖ noButoineYanswers ― I don’ t know.‖ People in Yucatan believe that― I don’ t know‖ is impolite. They us give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!1. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places2. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.3.What can we infer from the text?A.It ’ s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It ’ s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.B.A popular saying goes, ― Sticksand stone may break my bones, but words will never hurtme. ‖ However, that’ s not t r eallyue.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. Itdoesn ’matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negativeeffects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometim es. We ’ re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. Butwe really shouldn ’ t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is ahealthy habit.This ― self-talk‖helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calmourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So inorder to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should alsobe quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test,or finally clean your room, join me in saying,― Good job!‖Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always askourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’ t pass this t it ’ s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragementwhen we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to dotheir best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?Thechoice is ours.4.The author argues in the first paragraph that _____.A.words will never hurt us at allB.words have lasting effects on usC.positive effects last longer than negative effectsD.negative effects last longer than positive effects5.Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?A.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.B. It does harm to have-talk― ‖selfwhen we are alone.C. Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.D. Talking to ourselves out loud is believed to be good for our health.6. The underlined phrase oursel―gi ve s a pat on the back‖ in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. blame ourselvesB. punish ourselvesC. praise ourselvesD. talk to ourselves7.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A.It is better to think twice before talking to others.B.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.C.Words always possess long positive effects.D.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.C．The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare ’times is estimated to have been aboutfive million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainlyin the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Inaddition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regionaland social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that areemployed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.8.What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language9.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate workingknowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.10. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’ s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.11.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A.Those geographically close to the United States.B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.C.Former colonies of the Great Britain.D.Countries where international conferences are held.D.It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver ’ s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headeddrivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On theother hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling andfighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create anatmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviorsof politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’ t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver whowaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be notable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the deadbodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt tocorrectly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’ t even learn to drive, let steralonethemaroadmanship. Yearsago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand moregive-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.12. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by _______.A. road conditionsB. the speed of modern lifeC. the behavior of the driversD. the large number of cars13. In the writer’ s opinion, ________.A. drivers should avoid traffic jamsB. strict traffic rules are badly neededC. unskillful drivers should be punishedD. drivers should show road politeness properly14. The underlined word-and―give-take ‖ in the last paragraph means― ______‖.A. politeness and impolitenessB. good manners and bad mannersC. offering help to others as much as possibleD. willingness of each person to give in to each other’ s wishes15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Road politenessB. Traffic problemsC. Bad manners on the roadD. Good divers and bad drivers第二节：（共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 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正确选项。
