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；每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。

A.I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no 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 distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five 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 your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually 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 differenc es.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, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. ”However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves —the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, rememb er things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be 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 once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice 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 “self-talk” when 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 “give ourselves 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’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed 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 working knowledgeof 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 wa s popular during Shakespeare’s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.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 tige r 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-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of 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 who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able 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 dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-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 “give-and-take” in the last paragraph means “______”.A. politeness and impolitenessB. good manners and bad mannersC. offering help to others as much as possibleD. willing ness 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。

AWork is a part of living —my grandparents understood that . They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives . But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job , to the farm . The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags . He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie . During lunch , the stranger didn’t say much , but when he left , his shoulders had straightened . “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the manand then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be a help to me. And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.Grandma says she doesn’t remem ber how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.56.When he was asked to move a stack of firewood , the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that .A.he had found a good jobB.he would have something to eatC.he would no longer suffer from the DepressionD.he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect57.The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .A.he didn’t want them to have a meal free of chargeB.he had been needing to get it movedC.he wanted to help them in his own wayD.he wanted to show them his kindness and respect58.The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but .A.kindB.thoughtfulC.wealthyD.sympathetic59.The best title for the story would be .A.The DepressionB.The Pleasure of Helping OthersC.No Pains , No GainsD.Work-A Part of LivingBEveryone knows that the French are romantic, the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are thesejust stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail ?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public .Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said , entrepreneurs were “unloved , unwanted and misunderstood” . Jealousy is sometimes known as th e “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich Unive rsity in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own . Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like th em more. And more people want to be like them.60.What does the underl ined “it” in the second paragraph refer to ?A.One group of peopleB.A great surveyC.National characterD.A nation61.Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe thatA.they are not popular simply because they are successfulB.the British public are hardworkingC.love of success is Britain’s national characterD.they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”62.What does the result of the Warwich University test show ?A.Two thirds of the peopl e tested didn’t love moneyB.Most people would rather fail than see others succeedC.An imaginary amount of money does not attract peopleD.Most people are willing to enjoy success with others63.The writer of the passage seems to suggest that .A.jealousy is Britain’s national characterB.British entrepreneurs are not fairly treatedC.the scientists are Warwich University did a successful testD.the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properlyCA Battery’s Worst Nightmare (噩梦)Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as t heir batteries and , let’s face it , batteries aren’tvery good , especially when compared with , say , petrol , which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space . That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers ( centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , but with partners at other universities and companies ) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel . Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.The engine—about the size of a ten-cent coin-starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency (效率). Tiny engin e parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiency—that is , 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system , with all parts of place and working , will be set up in the next couple of years , but commercial models aren’t likely until at least the end of the next ten years.64.According to the passage , the title suggests thatA.batteries should be greatly improvedB.petrol will be used instead of batteriesC.the time of batteries will be gone foreverD.pollution caused by batteries must be solved65.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph 3?A.problemB.advantageC.inventionD.technique66.What can we infer from the passage ?A.The new invention doesn’t need any fuel .B.The new engine has been produced in quantity .C.The new invention is much cheaper than the battery .D.The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale67.What is the main purpose of this passage ?A.To introduce a new invention to readers .B.To persuade readers not to use batteries .C.To show us how the new invention works .D.To declare when the engine will be on sale .DTales From Animal HospitalDavid GrantDavid Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of Animal Hospital . Here Dr Grant tells us the very best of his personal stories about the animals he has treated ,including familiar patients such as the dogs Snowy and Duchess , the delightful cat Marigold Serendipity Diamond .

Interesting yet based on fact, Michael White’s learned yet readable new book offers a true picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic (魔术)ended and science began.£8.99 Hardback 320 pp Fourth EstateISBN 1857024168Fermat’s Last TheoremSimon SinghIn 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his sc hool library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem : Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds , including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem , and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique.

As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.听力文稿：(Text 1)W: What's the time by your watch?M: 8:20.
