高二第一学期第二次月考英语试卷第I卷第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40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。

AChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are notteaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.1.

Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: themoney supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability（稳定）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.6.From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.A. everyone’s incomes riseB. money will hold its valueC. we can watch our money growD. money constantly loses its valueA. inflation maybe still be a problemB. we have nothing to worry aboutC. inflation is no longer a problemD. we will become richer and richer8．Under inflation people are likely to ________.A. go to the bank more often than usualB. save more money since their incomes riseC. spend money quickly rather than to save itD. keep money at home instead of going to banks9．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.A. the writer is a government officialB. the writer is worried about inflationC. the writer encourages people to spend moneyD. the writer has become richer because of inflation10.

It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In I860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with aspecial language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell to build its parts, we are trying to study the words in the DNA map,but we still do not understand what they all do. Byunderstanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words”and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive , or stop sick people getting jobs.11.
