One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I'd drunk the entirecontainer! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain - I had diabetes（糖尿病）， which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can't eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates （碳水化合物）．I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin （注射胰岛素） before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I'm always trying to keep my blood-sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise,but that doesn't keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court - I just keep some juice boxes around to boostmy blood-sugar if I need to.It's a lot of work and not a lot of fun - to keep track of everything, but I've gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn't sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn't a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.4.What is the first paragraph mainly about ？ ______A. How the author was found to have diabetes.B.

She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.6.What does the underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 2 mean ？ ______A. Absorb.B. Control.C. Increase.D. Test.7.What's the author's attitude toward her having diabetes now ？______A. Worried.B. Frightened.C. Pessimistic.D. Positive.CI grew up in a middle-class household in Australia. In terms of safety and standard of living,a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew,and as a result,I was not aware just how lucky I was.It was a Monday,and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before,and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia,but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.I spent the next few months working on ＄7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain,saving every penny I earned. Just days before the trip was set to depart,I managed to hit my target.I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia. I vividly recall the sight of malnourished（营养不良）children begging for money tearing at my heart. I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city,home to thousands of families,many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.On the following days,I played with children who,despite living in hard conditions, were overflowing with joy and happiness. I met families who,despite having nothing,were some of the kindest people I'd ever met. For the first time,my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money. People here were rich in relationships and community,and shared with each other the little that they had.Through the trip,I began to see the value of learning from people of other races,cultures and religions. I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one,and experienced first-hand the beauty of human diversity.8.How did the author react when hearing about the overseas missiontrip ？ ______A. She considered it a little bit risky.B. She really looked forward to taking it.C. She hesitated in the first place.D. She imagined a lot about Cambodia.9.How did the author feel when she saw the children atfirst ？ ______A. Upset.B. Bored.C. Moved.D. Inspired.10.What did the author think of the locals after getting along withthem ？ ______A. They considered wealth very important.B. They were poor but had their simple pleasure.C. They struggled very hard to become rich.D. They were really bad at building relationships.11.What was the biggest benefit the author got from the trip ？______A. She got some work experience.B. She learnt to be independent.C. She made friends with some locals.D. She learned about the outside world.DDo you want to live another 100 years or more ？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span."I think we are knocking at the door of immortality （永生），" said Michael Zey,a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate （保守的估计）．"At the conference in San Francisco,Donald Louria,a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology（纳米技术）make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live."It remains to be seen if you pass 120 ，you know ；could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life ？" said Leonard Poon,director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre."At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."12.By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality" ， whatdoes Michael Zey mean ？ ______A. They believe that there is no limit of living.B. They are sure to find the truth about long living.C. They have got some ideas about living forever.D. They are able to make people live past the present life span.13.What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living ？ ______A. People can live from 120 to 180 years.B. It is still doubtful how long humans can live.C. The human body is designed to last past about 120 years.D. It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.14.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to ？ ______A. a great pushB. the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsC. the idea of living beyond the present life spanD. the conservative estimate15.What would be the best title for this text ？ ______A. Living Longer or NotB. Science,Technology and Long LivingC. Healthy Lifestyle and Long LivingD. No Limit for Human Life二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Making the Most of Life ExperiencesIf you ask anyone what the purpose of life is, you'll likely receive wildly different responses. The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. (1)Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.Follow your dreams.The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die without actions supporting them. (2) Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted. Make lots of mistakes.(3) Many of my strongest memories come from the times I've failed,and those lessons have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.(4)Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale. If you're under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. (5)For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve success. Maybe we'll discover along the way that the journey is moreimportant than the destination.A． Take care of yourself.B． Improve your personality.C． Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.D． It's best to rest, recover, and slowly build back up your strength.E． Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go ： our experiences.F． Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes, it is impossible to avoid them.

He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.Speculations （猜测） quickly started to spread. Why did he learnmake-up ？ Was he to seek for a woman to be his lifepartner ？ How about my neighbor's youngestdaughter ？ Why on earth would he attend such a womanclass ？ Who could it be ？Doubts like this came crowding in.The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man s intentions.Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise.Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.Paragraph 1：He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes （糖尿病） and she was no longer able to apply her make-up._______________ Paragraph 2：So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife._____________2020-2021学年上学期宣化一中高一年级月考英语试卷（1月份）答案和解析1.【答案】【解析】（1）C．细节理解题。
