2020年高一第二学期4月考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解第一节（共10小题；每题2分，满分20分）AA crow (乌鸦) lived in the woods and was satisfied with his life. But his life changed when he saw a swan (天鹅). “He is so white,” he thought, “but I am so black. He must be the happiest bird in the world.”He expressed his thoughts to the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I thought that I was the happiest bird until I saw a parrot (鹦鹉), who has two colors.”The crow then went to the parrot. The parrot said, “I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock (孔雀), who has many colors. I now think the peacock is the happiest bird.”The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo. “Dear peacock,” the crow said, “you are so beautiful. Every day lots of people come to see you. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”The peacock replied, “I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happiest bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am kept here.I examined the zoo very carefully and found that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. I hope that I could become a crow, so I could fly around freely.”That’s our problem, too. We make unnecessary comparison (对比) with others and become sad. We don’t value what we have. This leads to unhappiness. Learn to be happy with what you have instead of looking at what you don’t have. There will always be someone who has more or less than you have. Those people who are satisfied with what they have are the happiest in the world. 1．After seeing the swan, the crow ______.A.wanted to become beautifulB.decided to leave the woodsC.became less satisfied with his own lifeD.considered black as the ugliest color2．The swan thinks the parrot is the happiest bird because the parrot ________.A.has many colorsB.can fly around freelyC.attracts lots of peopleD.has one more color than him 3．What does the underlined part “our problem” in the passage refer to?paring ourselves with others.B.Feeling unhappy all the time.C.Having less than others.D.Having no freedom.4．By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us that _____.A.there are more unhappy people around usB.we should be happy with what we haveC.nothing is better than having freedomD.beauty doesn’t mean happinessB5．What are the four people in the text trying to do?A. Introduce themselves to each other.B. Look for language partners.C. Collect information online.D. Search for travel partners.6. Nissa is different from the other three people in _________.A. her learning experiencesB. her native languageC. her practicing language levelD. her purpose in learning7．If a Chinese who is in America wants to improve his English, he can get in touch with _________.A. NissaB. ChristinaC. DavidD. DanCMy only daughter, Sindu, looked frightened. Tears filled her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice (米糊).I asked, “Darling, why don’t you take it? It’s good for your health.”Sindu wiped her tears and said, “OK, I will eat. But Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I want?”“Promise,” I nodded.Slowly and painfully, she finished. “I want to have my head shaved off,”she said.Neither my wife nor I could believe our ears. Immediately we said, “Impossible!”“Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat that curd rice. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra?” Sindu said in tears. “Now, you are breaking your promise.”It was time for me to make a decision.“Our promise must be kept,” I said.“You are out of your mind!” shouted my wife.“If we break our promises, she will never learn to keep her own,” I said.On Monday morning, I dropped Sindu at her school. Just then, a boy ranto her. What struck me was the hairless head of that boy.“Maybe that’s the new campus fashion,” I thought.Then a lady came to me and said, “That boy is my son, Harish. He is suffering from leukemia (白血病). He lost all his hair because of the side effects of the treatment . He refused to come back to school, fearing that his classmates would make fun of him. Sindu visited him last week and promised him that she would take care of the issue. Sir, you are lucky to have such a great girl.”8．The story of King Harishchandra probably tells that _____.A.kids should eat healthy foodB.people should keep their promisesC.children should listen to their parentsD.parents should satisfy all of their kids’ needs9．Why did Sindu want to have her head shaved off?A.To show she was angry with her parents.B.To call on her classmates to help Harish.C.To follow the new campus fashion.D.To make Harish feel easy.10．Which words can be used to best describe Sindu?A.Intelligent and caring.B.Humorous and brave.C.Honest and determined.D.Patient and kind-hearted.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。

2020-2021学年河北正定中学高二4月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” --a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores. Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident. (He thought the experience would make a nice book.)After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, completely humbled （挫败的）,” admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids. Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs, “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to ru n the household, however----until Bob signed the contract, therefore, she decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peters had consulted with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria, his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative（暂时的）title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.1．The couple signed the contract because _______.A．Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfB．Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restC．they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksD．Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book 2．It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______. A．pay a certain amount of moneyB．admit publicly he was wrong about motherhoodC．say sorry to his wife Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat.D．do all the housework for years3．What can we learn about Pat Peters?A．She was hard-working and selfless.B．She was pretty and kind-hearted.C．She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.D．She did not love Bob any longer.4．Which of the following can best end the news story?A．“Wait till your mother gets home!”B．“My experience of being a mother.”C．“I’m proud of you all, my dear!”D．“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”Should parents ever hit their children?Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And, no, I don' t feel I was damaged by it．Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied thetopic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive （反作用的）to their mental development, as well．Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks （用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe’s research suggests they don' t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers （脾气）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment．5．According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parentswhen .A．they were dissatisfied with her gradeB．she showed no respect for the elderC．they cannot control their temperD．their discipline turns out to be not strict enough6．According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished ____ __．A．are less aggressive toward others when they get olderB．have slower physical developmentC．benefit from occasional spankingD．may develop lower IQs than their peer7．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．40 percent of children grow up without ever being spankedB．Children who suffer less physical punishment are better studentsC．Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful D．Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to childrenAmong various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style.But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer c ould easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. J erry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewe rs are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adultsof society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.8．Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are____.A．more interesting B．more formalC．more detailed D．unusually popular9．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A．Family income planning. B．Nation hatred.C．A new type of robot. D．Street accident.10．We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A．have become the only ones of its kindB．attract different peopleC．appear at different times of the dayD．exploit the weaknesses in human nature11．Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______A．Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.B．The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.C．Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass AmericansD．Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill （钻孔）deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0ºC．The seeds will be protected behind walls a meter thick and high-security door.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will e from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0ºC．The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s safest gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first put forward the idea in the 1980s. But safety concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.12．The project is meant to ______.A．increase the world’s food output in the futureB．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesC．build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seedsD．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters13．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?A．The government of Norway will perform the project alone.B．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousands years ago.C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the nuclear war forever.D．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.14．We can infer from the text that _______.A．Norway had meant to build the storage centre about 20 years before.B．The storage center will greatly promote world agricultureC．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.D．There haven’t been any seed storage centres in the world before.15．What is probably the best title of the passage?A．The Best Place to Store SeedsB．Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟）of Plant Seeds in PlanC．Concerns of World Food SupplyD．A New Way to Feed the World二、七选五16．Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like volcano（火山）！17．Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 18．Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break. something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters.19．However, it’s not for a kid to do any of thos e things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do？Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 20．Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. Thepuppy is not bad —— it will probably turn out to be a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.A．Everybody gets angry sometimes.B．You don’t want to cau se trouble.C．Kids should be allowed to express their feelings,even angry ones.D．You can train you temper.E.In fact,they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.F.Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with,think of something el se.G.Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.三、完形填空Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with.

James Dean, who died at the age of 25 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant.

He was known as Hollywood’s ‘rebel( 叛逆)’who famously said ‘if a man can bridge the gap(沟壑) between life and death, if he can live after he’s dead, then maybe he is a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion.”Anton Ernst, the film’s director, said, “I respect Dean’s life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics.

To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at random.One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley(有轨电车) problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33.5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.“What we round in our study is that when people used a smartphone to viewclassic moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma, “Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily. “It’s clear that we need more research on how our devices affect our moral decision-making because we’re using screens at an everincreasing rate. 8．Why did the author mentionthe trolley problem?A.To introduce a difficult problem to readers.B.To introduce the aim of carrying out the study.C.To show an example of the questions in the study.D.To show the difficulty in dealing with dilemmas.9.How do the smartphone users of the study behave in dealing withemotional dilemmas?

The significance of the study.C. How to make moral decisions.D. What affects people’s daily life.DOne way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we'd make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical( 合逻辑的) thinking leads to sound decision- making. It's true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information.Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship (for example, they fear to be abandoned) tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present.In the real world though, it's worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what's more, it's probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you're a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones.The important thing, if you are a worrywart ( 杞人忧天者) , is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don’t bury your head in the sand. Instead,act on your fears —do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into what you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness.When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn't see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves (神经紧张) are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage.12.What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety?A.It can enable us to be more focused.B.It can stop us from thinking logically.C.It can make us more willing to take risks.D.It can be the only reason for all baddecisions. 13．What can we learn fromthe passage?A.Anxious people are less sensitive to danger.B.Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars.C.Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk.D.Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign ofintelligence. 14．How should we deal with anxietyin the author's opinion?A．Regard it as our enemy. B．Take action to control it.C．Avoid being defeated by it. D．Treat it as a minorfeeling. 15．What is the theme of the passage?A．Effective ways to prevent anxiety. B．Unexpected benefits of anxiety. C．Tips on how to keep a good mood. D．Common misunderstandings about anxiety.EMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city’s smoggy air, especially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local firm decided that canning(灌装) and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir(纪念品) would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“I’d seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the other way,” the entrepreneur said. “They’re perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light, portable, you can just imagine someone’s face when they unwrap (打开) it for Christmas.”The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents: “a unique mix of nitrogen, oxygen and some other stuff”. The ironic ( 讽刺的) souvenirs cost 28 RMB (US $4) and are available at the Plastered 8 shop, as well as on its online shop. But if you’re actually considering buying some, you'd better ask shop in advance, as they are virtually flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.Personally, the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions. Yet one thing that’s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, as the cans are labeled as “Made in Shenzhen”. There’s a big chance that’s just a kind of Plastered 8 humor, as they also list “Choking Hazard”and “May have unidentified objects inside.” as warnings.Anyway, it is probably a unique way to make people realize the importance of protecting the environment.16.What contributes to Dominic’s idea of canning and selling the poor qualityair?A．Try to get used to it. B．Sell it all over the world.C．Can it as a souvenir. D．Try to push business theother way. 17．How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas?A．Satisfied. B．Surprised.C．Frightened. D．Refreshed.18.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “stuff”in Paragraph 4？ A．Liquids B．ObjectsC．Minerals D．Risks19.What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Do something opposite.B. Give others a surprise.C. Make a big profit.D. Put forward astrange idea. 20．What can we infer from the passage?A.The canned Beijing air may harm people who buy it.B.The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour.C.People should make efforts to protect the environment.D.Dominic Johnson-Hill likes the poor quality air in Beijing.第二部分语言知识运用（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
