AWhen you are learning a foreign language, one of the hardest things to grasp is how and when to use colloquial idioms (口语习语) and expressions. Often used in both spoken and written la nguage, these idioms are very important. Using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English spea ker is very impressive. Here are some wonderful British idiom s. Use them wisely!1. When pigs fly!This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily when speaking, meaning that something i s extremely unlikely or impossible. For example, “I will forgive him when pigs fly!”“When do you think you will get a gym me mbership, Louise?”“When pigs fly!”2. A penny for your thoughts?This question is used in a situation where someone appears t houghtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought. But rememb er that you don’t actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “You’ve been a bit qui et this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts?”3. It’s the bee’s knees.This expression means that something is of excellence or of v ery high quality. For example, “Try this chocolate. It’s the bee’s knees.”4. To feel a bit under the weather.I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phras e if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those time s when you are feeling a little ill, or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used t o refer to feeling emotionally(情感上的) low.21. What would you say if you think something will never hap pen?A. When pigs fly!B. It’s the bee’s knees.C. A penny for your thoughts?D. To feel a bit under the weather.22. What does “A penny for your thoughts?” mean?A. Can I help you?B. Do you need money?C. How are you feeling?D. What are you thinking about?23. What is the author most likely to continue to write at the e nd of the last paragraph?A. A study.B. An example.C. Another idiom.D. The meaning of the idiom.BI often walked my dog Roux behind the swimming pool. And I once came across bedding. I wondered at the time who was s leeping there and why, and what had happened in his or her li fe.Then one day, I saw a young woman walking away from that area when I was walking. I was surprised and wondered if she was the person sleeping there. I saw here again the next day , walking towards that area of the park. Roux ran up to her for a pat, and she smiled.She was young. I asked her if she was sleeping there and she looked embarrassed and said “no”. I didn’t believe her. It was winter at the time. She just had a T-shirt on and a small backpack and looked cold.I thought of Mindy, my best friend, who has a big heart and al ways helps people in need. Then I took my lovely north Face j acket off and gave it to her. I was not as big-hearted as Mindy, because I hesitated(犹豫). It was a nice jacket, a rather expensive nice jacket, warm and windproof(防风的). I emptied the pockets of all my bits and pieces and hande d it over to her. She had tears in her eyes. She thanked me a nd put it on. “Oh,it’s still warm,” she said.In fact, it wasn’t an easy give. I wished that was the day I had worn my $25 dog walking jacket! But I knew her needs were greater than mine.24. How did the author feel when he found someone’s beddin g?A. Worried.B. Sad.C. Nervous.D. Surprised.25. Why did the young woman feel embarrassed?A. She didn’t believe the author.B. Her small backpack was dirty.C. Her living conditions were poor.D. She didn’t recognize the author’s dog.26. Why did the author hesitate before giving his jacket to the woman?A. It was Mindy’s jacket.B. He liked this jacket.C. The girl didn’t have a big heart.D. It was a $25 dog walking jacket.CGood health is the most valuable thing a person can have bu t one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to re member that the body needs proper care in order to be health y. There are three things that a person can do to help stay he althy, eating right food, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.Proper nutrition(营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well u nless it receives the proper kind "fuel". Don't eat too much foo d with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein(蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are v ery important because they provide necessary vitamins and m inerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overwei ght.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. Yo u have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality(人的个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of slee p each day. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed , and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body str onger, strengthens the muscles(肌肉), and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves yo ur heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, y ou will probably increase your life-span(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are good for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicyclin g, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and heal thier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.27. In order to keep good health, .A. we should eat much sugar and fatB. we need a larger amount of meatC. we should take in proper nutritionD. we must overeat vegetables and fruits28. Eating more and sleeping less .A. makes us healthierB. helps keep our personalityC. gets us more energyD. does harm to our health29. In the 4th paragraph, the writer wants to tell us .A. how we can strengthen our musclesB. how important for us to take exerciseC. how we can increase your life-spanD. how enjoyable and interesting sports are30. The best title for the article should be .A. Eating and ExerciseB. Exercising RegularlyC. Staying HealthyD. Sleeping Enough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。

2021年高二上学期第一次（10月）月考英语试题含答案第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)I was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be pletely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping thatthis act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would bee famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would bee a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores withinthe Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the munity and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your munity and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and r efrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor arekept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.munity and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your munity.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will bee much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your munity27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (投资). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off. A personwho is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how much does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid being wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacks to .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions.DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studi ed used his or her phoneat least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their ining messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not have a habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones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。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913-2005)On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set lff the Montgmery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired lr giving in,” said Parks.21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social workB. Her lack of proper training in lawC. Her efforts to win a prizeD. Her community background22. What is the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in lawB.

Rachel CarsonC. Sandra Day O’Connor24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educatedB. They are truly creativeC. They are pioneersD. They are peace-loversBParents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given. The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents, who argue that the burden is too great, places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa)is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November."We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared", said Jos Luis Pazos, president of Ceapa. "Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be. It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day. For us, that's an unacceptable situation".Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future. They should be. happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably(难以理解地). The model needs to change because society has changed.Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day, which varies from region to region and school to school, but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm. However, schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments. They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.25.Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?A. To stop school violenceB. To ask for longer school timeC. To say no to heavy homework loadD. To request equal education for their kids26.Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?A. Longer school hours will ensure better gradesB. Happiness is the most important thing for a childC. Huge amounts of homework means a better futureD. The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children27.Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?A. CeapaB. The OECDC. Regional governmentsD. Each individual schoolCGrowing up in Wyoming everyday life was an adventure-I spent my time camping, and exploring mountains. When I was little my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall. I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men. Under her influence I made up my mind to achieve something great. Now I've become famous for sailing, a sport often considered "a man's world".Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport. And generally, there are only two ways to get into it-either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.In the summer of 2008, I went to St. Croix through a college internship(实习) program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs. There I discovered my love for sailing. Then SCA a global hygiene(卫生保健) company, made the decision to support an all-female team and when they began accepting applications, I knew it was the chance of a lifetime. I made it my task to become a part of the team. Even when it seemed like there were no positions left, I never gave up. After a stressful, two-year application process, I finally got the call. I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately. The process was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, but I finally achieved my goal. I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience. Later there was an all-female team competing and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.As women, we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men, because we do. There are plenty of professions, including sailing, in which women are absent or have a minor presence-but that's not because they shouldn't be there. We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions, no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.28.Why does the author mention her mother in Paragraph 1?A. To compare with her motherB. To describe women's strugglesC. To analyze her mother's successD. To show her mother's influence on her29.What does the underlined word "both" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Two traditional ways to become professional sailorsB. Two important persons in the author's lifeC. Two basic stages of being a sailorD. Two famous professional sailors30.What is the correct order of the following events?a. I began training with the sailing teamb. I attended a college internship programc. I took part in competing in an all-female teamd. I discovered my love for sailing as a womanA. b-d-a-cB. d-a-c-bC. a-c-d-bD. a-d-c-b31.Which can best describe the author?A. HumorousB. GenerousC. PessimisticD. DeterminedDThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled(芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, ”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is asmuch about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A. Deciding on a proper sleep positionB. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC. Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyD. Finding a right time to go to sleep33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .A. the y circle around on their bikesB. they use microcomputers without a stopC. they exercise in one place for a long timeD. they watch a movie while pedaling34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .A. their senses stop workingB. they have to stand up straightC. they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD. their brains receive contradictory messages35.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB. how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC. whether they can recover after returning homeD. whether they are able to go back to the station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。
