共120分，考试时间120分钟第I卷（共70分）第一节：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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhen I asked my mom why I was so short when I was 7 years old, she explained that I have a medical condition called dwarfism (侏儒症).At first, I was very sad. I wanted to be tall, mainly because of the way people reacted to me. Kids would say mean stuff, like, “It's weird how you're so short.” In elementary school（小学）, whenever classmates would bully (欺侮) me, I'd run away and cry.Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park, I'm not tall enough to go on all the rides, so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.I'm now in the seventh grade, and I'm four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It doesn't matter! My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little. I met a girl at school named Nevaeh, who is my best friend, and she has helped me realize that it's not what's on the outside that matters — it's what's on the inside.Nevaeh doesn't even mention my height when we hang out. In fact, if people tease us about being short (she's only six inches taller than I am), we'll make jokes, like, “We're not short. We're fun-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I'd rather turn something cruel into something funny, laugh it off, and move on.One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball, for example. Since it's a sport associated with tall people, I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons, I didn't make a single basket! But then, during a game last year, I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets, I can do anything.I'm not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.1. In elementary school, the author _____.A. had many friendsB. enjoyed herself at schoolC. was hurt by her classmatesD. had a great time in the local park2. Thanks to Nevaeh, the author learns _____.A. how to make friendsB. to perform better at schoolC. the importance of friendshipD. not to care much about her appearance3. How do the author and Nevaeh react to unpleasant words now?A. In a funny way.B. In a pitiful way.C. In an angry way.D. In a violent way.4. Through playing basketball, the author has become _____.A. more tolerantB. much smarterC. much healthierD. more confidentB★Play—Chimtewale BabaEvent Description: Catch Bengali adaptation of Lalit Mohan Thapliyal's award winning play Chimtewale Baba, produced by Shapno Ekhon.The play discloses the weakness of human minds and explores the mystery of the inner ability in finding solutions to one's own problems.When: Saturday 27 November 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.Where: Muktadhara Auditorium Banga Sanskriti Bhavan 18-19,Bhai Veer Sangh MargEntry: adult $50; child $30Contact: Shomik Ray 9873224365★Film—The GodfatherEvent Description: Screening of the film The Godfather,directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Marlon Brando,Al Pacino and James Caan.The film is about an aging patriarch（元老）of an organized crime dynasty who transfers his control to his son.When: Sunday 28 November 8:00 p m-10:00 p.m.When: Select City Walk Mall A-3,District Centre SaketEntry: adult $45 ; child $20Contact: Rose White 8876223367★Painting ExhibitionEvent Description: Sanaugavut,an exhibition of Inuit masterworks from the National Gallery of Canada,Ottawa.When: Friday 26 November 11:00 a.m.Where: National Museum,Raj Path Crossing Janpath LaneEntry: FreeContact: Mark Smith 8899266369★Music PerformanceEvent Description: Samaparner Caan Songs & Narrations on Thakur Ramakrishna & Swami Vivekananda by Sudeb Chattopadhyay & Anupurba Roy.When: Sunday 28 November 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.Where: India Habitat Centre,Max Mueller Marg Lodhi ColonyEntry: adult $76; child $40Contact: 7756266111 or 7756266112★Japanese,Food FestivalEvent Description: Enjoy authentic Japanese cusine featuring dishes like Hosomaki,Sake Maki,Grill Sake Maki, Maguro Maki,Nigitoro Maki,Edi Maki,Kani Maki,California Maki,Tomago Maki,Teriyaki and more.When: 25 November-30 November 12:00 p.m.-11:59 p.m.Where: Tao Restaurant E-8 Connaught PlaceEntry: Free5.If you want to enjoy yourself with the least money on Sunday,you will go to .A.Music PerformanceB.Painting ExhibitionC.Film—The GodfatherD.Japanese Food Festival6.Where will you go on the last Tuesday of November?A.Tao Restaurant.B.India Habitat Centre.C.National Museum.D.Select City Walk Mall.7.If your son prefers music to anything else,you will call .A.8899266369B.9873224365C.8876223367D.77562661128.We can learn from the text that .A.Kani Maki is a kind of dish made in CaliforniaB.Chimtewale Baba is a play full of educationC.Marlon Brando is a famous directorD.Sudeb Chattopadhyay is a hose of a film companyCThe decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives.No matter what decisions we make,good or bad,each one puts us on a new road in the future.Make a bad decision?No problem.Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path.This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within.This is a book that I recommend to anyone wanting to develop a fire within to make changes in their life.It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today.Now I am not saying that I am a well-known person in any particular circle.But I am the king of my castleworking hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen.I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children.And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime.And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.Ben Lerer,cofounder and CEO of Thrillist Wedia Group,is a good example of this. In an article on the Fast Company website.Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions but finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going right,and fix it,instead of just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.9.From Tony Robbins' book Awaken the Giant Within,the writer knew .A. making a had decision is very terribleB. making decisions helps us become a great manC. being afraid to make a had decision is very naturalD. learning from the bad decision can help make a new choice10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.A bad decision has a bad effect on people.B.The best company can admit and correct a bad decision.C.People should learn how to make a good decision.D.Making a decision is much simpler than changing one.11.What could Be the best title of the passage?A.Overcome Your FearsB.Take ActionC.Make DecisionsD.Trust YourselfDMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. Thefamily laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “ Am I going to die？” He replied, “Finally.”12.

第I卷（选择题共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）APoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by t he detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this ima ge. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep me aning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the wa y most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especiall y when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate con finement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would s tick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choice s: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My hu sband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby l amb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me throu gh. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to sto p every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist －high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the wat er, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here wa s life. And new horizons(见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fr esh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my dis ciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone st arted quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and tol d them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile awa y and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that tri p with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.1．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' ho me?A．It was less tiring.B．It would be faster and safer.C．Her kids would feel less confined.D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.2．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ___ _____．A．relax in the fresh airB．take a deep breathC．take care of the lambD．let the kids play with Banner3．What does the author discover from the trip according to P aragraph 6?A．Freeways are where beauty hides.B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.4．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on the ir way back home?A．To give herself some time to read. B．To order some fo od for them.C．To play a game with them.D．To let them cool down.B“It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I rol l out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep p eacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my fa vorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD i s over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its ex treme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even c hocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the yea rs , I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sor ry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A com mitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiet y, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves m y body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair o f jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and swe at that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.5.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.B. Because she finishes her favorite exerciseC. Because she enjoys the interesting DVDD. Because she feels a sense of achievement6.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph2 ?A. She doesn’t like others r politelyB. She likes to make others surprisedC. Others don’t understand what she doseD. Others try to help her by offering her food7.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last par agraph mean?A. Good healthB. Firm beliefC. A strong powerD. A regul ar habit8.What can we learn about the author from the text?A. She acts in a strange wayB. She wants to look different from othersC. She aims to develop a good body shapeD. She has difficult getting along with othersCIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pou r cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I ha ve discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft s ide of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showi ng our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow p eople to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I be gan to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People b ehind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speedi ng up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour year s of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a reall y low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers , “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far betwe en. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel s trong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we ’re scared.9.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others10.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlight s?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.11.In this passage, the author advises us to ________. A．handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from others C．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery12.Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．Weakness and Kindness. C．Weakness and Strength.D．A Driving Experience.DUsing tablet computers like Apple’s iPad and Sam sung’s Gala xy Note just before bed can lead to a poor night’s sleep, accor ding to research.More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with the m to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blueish light their screens emit can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light mimics daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light suppresses producti on of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall sl eep. This is because our brains have evolved to be wakeful during daylight hours. By contrast, light which is more orange o r red in tone does not reduce melatonin production, perhaps b ecause our brains recognize it as a cue that the day is ending. Neurologists (神经病学家) have known for years that staring at screens late in the ev ening can disrupt sleep. Researchers at the Lighting Researc h Centre, at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, are warning that looking at tablet displays for more than two hours “leads to a suppression of our natural melatonin levels as the devices emit optical radiation (光辐射) at short wavelengths” - in other words, they emit bluer ligh t.They say: “Although turning off devices at night is the ultimate solution, it is recommended that if these devices are used at night displays are dimmed as much as possible and that the ti me spent on them before bed should be limited.”They drew their conclusions after measuring melatonin levels in 13 volunteers, after they had spent time viewing iPads at ful l brightness at a distance of 10 inches, for two hours. Melatoni n levels were significantly lower after they had done this, than they were after the volunteers had viewed their iPads for the s ame time, but while wearing orange glass goggles, which cut out the blue light.They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that tablet mak ers could “tune the spectral power distribution of self-luminous devices (自发光设备的频谱功率分布)” so that they disrupted the sleep patterns of users less.It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be jeopardized (危害) by too much late night screen time. Researchers know tha t persistent disruption to sleep patterns can lead to an increas ed risk of obesity, and even breast cancer. However, these st udies tend to be comparisons of those with chronic sleep disr uption, such as long term shift workers, with those who have normal sleep patterns.13. Based on their findings, researchers have made the follow ing suggestions except that ________.A. Devices like iPads should be turned off at night.B. Tablet makers should make improvements in devices.C. Users should view iPads at full brightness instead of weari ng orange glass goggles.D. The time spent on screen before bed should be controlled.14. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. Orange and red light does no good to a good night’s sleep.B. Our brains recognize orange or red light in tone as a cue th at the day is ending.C. The less melatonin our body produces, the easier we fall a sleep.D. Too much late night screen time leads to more than sleep problem.15. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. inform readers of a recent research.B. complain about problems caused by using iPads before be d.C. offer some suggestions on late night screen viewing.D. advocate late night screen viewing.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。

新疆呼图壁县2018届高三英语10月月考试题本试卷分I卷（选择题）和II卷（非选择题）两部分。

共120分，考试时间120分钟第I卷（共70分）第一节：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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhen I asked my mom why I was so short when I was 7 years old, she explained that I have a medical condition called dwarfism (侏儒症).At first, I was very sad. I wanted to be tall, mainly because of the way people reacted to me. Kids would say mean stuff, like, “It's weird how you're so short.” In elementary school（小学）, whenever classmates would bully (欺侮) me, I'd run away and cry.Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park, I'm not tall enough to go on all the rides, so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.I'm now in the seventh grade, and I'm four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It doesn't matter! My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little.I met a girl at school named Nevaeh, who is my best friend, and she has helped me realize that it's not what's on the outside that matters —it's what's on the inside.Nevaeh doesn't even mention my height when we hang out. In fact, if people tease us about being short (she's only six inches taller than I am), we'll make jokes, like, “We're not short. We're fun-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I'd rather turn something cruel into something funny, laugh it off, and move on.One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball, for example. Since it's a sport associated with tall people, I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons, I didn't make a single basket! But then, during a game last year, I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets, I can do anything.I'm not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.1. In elementary school, the author _____.A. had many friendsB. enjoyed herself at schoolC. was hurt by her classmatesD. had a great time in the local park2.

In an article on the Fast Company website.Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions but finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going right,and fix it,insteadof just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.9.From Tony Robbins' book Awaken the Giant Within,the writer knew.A. making a had decision is very terribleB. making decisions helps us become a great manC. being afraid to make a had decision is very naturalD. learning from the bad decision can help make a new choice10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.A bad decision has a bad effect on people.B.The best company can admit and correct a bad decision.C.People should learn how to make a good decision.D.Making a decision is much simpler than changing one.11.What could Be the best title of the passage?A.Overcome Your FearsB.Take ActionC.Make DecisionsD.Trust YourselfDMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for t he two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile,he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.

I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stair s with the hurt on his face.About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”No response. I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”Again, no response.So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest, an d I’m not talented. Tommy thinks I’m stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know K evin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in thisfamily.”There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards wrote on a torn–up paper cup, “Thanks.”I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half–notice my family members any more.
