Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and712 frozen peas hidden underneath．At the time I found those few remaining8, I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 9 I ’ metd in a support group. After we married, I was reminded10those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my11had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered（破裂） .

We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma( 哮喘 ), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁 ) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1． What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farmB. Moving to the countrysideC. Leaving home for the cityD. Running away from the school2． Which of the following is true about the writer?河北永年第二中学2017-2018学年高三12月月考英语试卷Word版含解析A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now.3． In the passage, the writer tries to _______.A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. persuade the reader to live in the city4． How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferringB. By comparingC. By listing examplesD. By giving explanations3.A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism （网瘾）, atwentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail andspeak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsivehabit.They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior thatcould affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has seriously affectedteenagers and college students. They are likely to log( 写日记 ) on computers and spend long hoursat different websites.They become hooked（入迷）on computers and gradually their social and school life isaffected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’ t concentrate on homewor this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything onthe websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with theirfriends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a newlanguage that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from society andlive with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they havenever met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident withreal live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictivebehavior is beginning to affect all the world.1． The main idea of the passage is about__________.A. the cause of weboholismB. the advantage of weboholismC. the popularity of weboholismD. the effect of weboholism2． We can infer from the passage that_______.A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC. people are addicted to games on the InternetD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive than real life.3． Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A. It contributes to the development of the web.B. The chat room language may change social culture.C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.4.Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust butonce you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualitiesare the key qualities to look for in a good friend.Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug( 耸肩 ) and turn a blind eye.Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sadway to lose a good friend.I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friendsyou will have no happiness.1． According to the author, true friendship _______.A. is easy to getB. deepens with timeC. needs managementD. affects one’s happiness2． Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.A. why drugs are bad for teenagersB. problems that will test friendshipC. ways that help avoid argumentsD. whether a friend is trustworthy3． According to the author, which matters least in friendship?A. Age.B. Sensitivity.C. Sense of humor.D. Communication ability.4． Which of the following saying can match the author’ s view on friendship?A. Old friends and old wines are best.B. A friend without faults will never be found.C. A life without a friend is a life without the sun.D. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.三、短文改错（共 1 小题）5.短文改错假设英语课上老师要求同桌之间互换改正作文，请你改正你同桌写的以下作文。

AHere is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.3. To fail﹥to jailIn Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants!In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flawIn Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go!In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . TwoB .Three C. Six D. Five22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. SingaporeB. AmericaC. FranceD. China23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put in jail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women to wear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the m emories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or trea t soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing me mories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly aboutA. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people canA. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effect of memories26.We can infer from the passage thatA. people doubt the effect of the pillsB. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce peo ple’s sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typic al sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl”schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ——the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C .One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle indepen dently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. CriticizedB. GroupedC. OrganizedD. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment! What you need●A hard-boiled egg without the shell●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg●A piece of paper● A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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。
