Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to the cubs on July 15, 2013. Zoo officials followed Chinese custom and named the brothers after waiting 100 days. Until then, they were simply known as “Cub A” and “ Cub B”.Mei Lun and Mei H uan are the first twin panda cubs to survive in the Unite States. “We’re delighted to finally be able to place two youngsters with names. They have not only made a mark on the history of Atlanta Zoo, but also have made history in the US,” Raymond B. King , the zoo’s president and CEO, said in a statement.Atlanta Zoo teamed up with Good Morning America that month to put the pandas’ names to a public vote. China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding provided the choi ces of names. In just 13 days, 51,000 votes poured in on the show’s website.Under a deal between China and the US, giant pandas originally from China are only lent to foreign zoos for scientific study for several years. Zookeepers at Atlanta Zoo are giving regular updates on the twins’ progress in an online blog. Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the fourth and fifth offspring(子女) of Lun Lun and a male giant panda named Yang Yang.The pandas made their first public appearanc e in a US exhibit last fall. For the three months before their appearance, the online world had watched the twins grow strong and healthy. “We share this joy with our colleagues(同事) in China and with the cub’s fans around the world,” King said.25.

But he’s also a lifelong farmer. He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it’s not just farmers who know there’s a clock running on their efforts. “ We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change,” said Howard G. Buffett(HGB)HGB wants to invest more than ＄3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world’s nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He’s decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. “It’s a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas,” said HGB.Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people — a fifth of the global population — live on poor land. ”You have to fix the soil,” he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil.He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries.” It’s not going to happen like that,” said HGB. “You need to consider local differences, local culture.” Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World.29. From the second paragraph, we can learn that HGB’s main purpose is_______.A. to invest lots of money in farmingB. to end hunger and povertyC. to change farming in the worldD. to help the poorest nations in the world.30. What’s the population of the whole world?A. 1.5 billionB. One fifth billionC. 6 billionD. 7.5 billion31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The farming methods in rich countries suit developing countries.B. HGB thinks agriculture of the west is not good at all.C. All the farming methods don’t suit developing countries.D. HGB gains his ideas from the book Forty Chances.32. What can be the best title for the passage?A. HGB invests to end hungerB. A great farmer, HGB.C. HGB, one son of Warren BuffetD. HGB invests in the developing countries.DClimate change will increase U.S wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.“ It affects a much wider area of the United States than people have realized, ” says author Kim Knowlton, a Columbia University health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of disease.Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDC’s report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders( 边界) ,ranked (排名) second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people exposed (接触) to smoky air were, in descending ( 下降的) order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011, but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people exposed to at leas t a week of smoke that year, although five of them----Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah---had a large area burned by wildfires.The problem will only get worse, Knowlton say. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.33. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. most Americans suffered from climate change.B. the stat es burned by wildfires had more serious problems.C. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke in 2011.D. Every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week.34. Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders?A. TexasB. Kansas.C. OhioD. California.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Climate change causes more wildfires.B. More wildfires cause climate change.C. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.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。

河南省洛阳第一高级中学2013-2014学年高一下学期第一次月考试题英语满分：150分时间：120分钟第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2 分，满分40分）AMy name is Cherry Carl, and I retired in June, 2003, after 35 years as a teacher and Language Arts Specialist in Santee, California. However, I continued my role as an instructor at the University of California, San Diego, in the Reading Specialist Certification Program until June, 2009.I wasn't ready to retire. Teaching is in my blood! (My mother always reminded me that when I was little, I dragged the neighborhood kids in to play school whether they wanted to or not!) I still have the strong desire to make a difference for teachers, parents, and students. I'm passionate about the joy of knowing how to read and write and want every child to have the experience of closing a book with a sigh, "Wow, that was a good book!" The only way they can do that is by having the necessary skills and strategies to become independent readers. This website has been created to provide resources and materials for classroom teachers, reading and resource specialists, speech therapists, parents and students in the area of language arts. Please feel free to download and print anything that catches your eye, but please make sure to leave my name on the poetry and worksheets!If you have specific needs or suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always open to new ideas and requests. That's how the site continues to grow. You can email me at carl1404@.Thank you so much for your heartfelt messages and testimonials. You and your children are the reason that I maintain the site and I will continue to offer the materials with little or no fees.1. By saying “Teaching is in my blood”in Paragraph 2, the author means that ________.A. she loves teaching all her lifeB. she didn’t want to retire at allC. she is a specialist in teachingD. teaching is as important as her blood2. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Cherry Carl?A. She became a teacher at the age of 35.B. She was interested in teaching as a child.C. She is still a teacher in a middle school now.D. She gave up teaching totally 35 years ago.3. If you want some materials from Cherry Carl, ________.A. you must pay some money for themB. you can always get them free of chargeC. you should tell her before getting themD. you should mark her name on themBTo many students, high school is just a basic routine. You go to class in the morning, take a break for lunch and go home in the afternoon.This isn't quite that simple for pupils at Royal West Academy. As if classes andhomework weren’t already enough, students are also required to complete a range of extracurricular activities, or ECAs.The range of ECAs being offered at the school is various, including everything from guitar and jewelry-making clubs, fund-raising marches, to student committees, swimming and tennis.“I love ECAs. I’m so happy we have them,” said grade 11 student Adrienne, who is a soccer player and member of the graduation committee. “They motivate the students, and they’re a great bonding experience. I think that without them, not half as many students would be joining up for the soccer team.”Requiring students to complete ECAs is a sign of the times. That’s because young people are preparing for the future in ways that weren’t considered necessary before. This is an era when ECAs are seen as important. Whether it’s for leadership experience, sports, craft skills or volunteer these things are seen as rounding out the individual and improving their future.ECAs can also help students discover their likes and dislikes. But as the old song says, you can’t always get what you want, especially when so many students are all trying to sign up for the most popular activities.ECAs can cut into study and homework time if you’re not careful. You really have to get organized or you’ll fall apart.4. The students at Royal West Academy may do the following ECAs except ______.A. to play musical instrumentsB. to raise money for an organizationC. to attend sports eventsD. to have classes discussions5. From what Adirienne said, we know that _______.A. most of his classmates are interested in footballB. one can make many new friends in ECAsC. students get encouraged to join in ECAsD. half of his classmates are unwilling to join in ECAs.6. Why are ECAs important now?A. They prepare the students for their future.B. They can make students get what they want.C. they can help students find their strong points.D. They can reduce students’ learning time.7. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.A. ECAs can increase your burden of learningB. you may fall down when playing in ECAsC. too many ECAs may leave you in troubleD. you need to organize other students in ECAsCWho do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860 - 1935)Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She created shelters, education opportunities and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964)Rachel Carson was born in the rural river town of Springdale, Pennsylvania in America. The popular 1962 book “Silent Spring”by Rachel Carson made people realize the dangers and the harmful effects of pollution on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Angela Merkel (1954 - )In 2005, Germans chose Angela Merkel as their first woman head of the country. She had been a scientist in the past. As Germany’s leader, she has had an effect on the whole world.Sandra D ay O’Connor (1930 - )When Sandra Day O’ Connor finished her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work because she was a woman. However, she became the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court (最高法院) in 1981 after years of hard work.Margaret Thatcher (1925 - )In 1979, Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s first woman Prime Minister (首相). She served until 1990, which made her the first British leader to serve three terms in a row. Because of her high standards and strong will, people called her Britain’s Iron Lady.Marie Curie (1867 - 1934)Polish-born scientist Marie Curie discovered that some types of metal give off energy called radiation. Her research led to new medical treatments and arms. She received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and in Chemistry in 1911.8. We can infer from the text that Rachel Carson worked to _____.A. help the poorB. spread geographic knowledgeC. protect the environmentD. protect the rights of women9. What do Angela Merkel and Margaret Thatcher have in common?A. Both of them were scientists before coming to power.B. Both of them are the first woman head of their country.C. Both of them are famous for being strict.D. Both of them have worked for three terms.10. Who once failed to find a job?A. Jane Addams.B. Sandra Day O’Connor.C. Rachel Carson.D. Margaret Thatcher.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Great women.B. Famous scientists.C. Strong leaders.D. Ways to success for women.DThe color red often means danger --- and by paying attention, accidents can be prevented. At railroad crossings, flashing red fights warn cars to stay back. A red light at a traffic crossing tells cars to stop, so they don't run into other cars.In the future, the color red also may help prevent danger at construction sites. Thanks to new work by engineers, bridge supports --- or other kinds of materials --- could one day contain a color-changing material. It will turn red before a structure collapses(倒塌) or falls apart.The secret behind the color-changing material is a particular type of molecule(分子). Molecules come in all shapes and sizes, and make up everything you can see, touch or feel. How a molecule behaves depends on what kinds of atoms(原子) it contains, and how they're held together.To get a rough picture of one way atoms are held together in a molecule, imagine you and your friends standing in a large circle, holding hands. Each person represents one atom, your clasped hands represent the bond, and the entire circle represents a molecule.The molecule being used to turn the material red is called mechanophore(机械响应性聚合物). When one chemical bond in the mechanophore molecule breaks, the rest of the molecule turns red.There is a way to get rid of~ the red color: light. When a bright light is shone on the mechanophore, the broken bond is fixed and the red color disappears. This "self-healing" may be a problem for engineers who want to use the color-changer in big construction projects that will be outside, in the sunlight. And if bright light keeps the red color from appearing, then the mechanophore's warning system will be useless.Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecules can be used outside the lab. If mechanophore can be used in the real world, they are suggested to be employed in a new kind of paint.12. The first paragraph mainly tells us __________.A. the color red is widely used in our lifeB. how to prevent car accidentsC. the color is an important signal of warningD. how to use color red13. The color red will be used at construction sites to _________.A. tell different materials used in the buildingB. warn people that the building is dangerousC. make the building more beautifulD. tell people the building is under construction14. The example given in the fourth paragraph is to show _________.A. the way atoms are held together in a moleculeB. how a molecule behaves in an objectC. how to play an old gameD. how people get along with each other15. What can make the mechanophore’s warning system ineffective?A. PaintsB. WaterC. Poor building materialsD. The bright lightEFrom time to time, we all get a bit down. Maybe we are feeling bad because we’re not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, but I’m not able to discuss all of them. ___16___Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do. ___17___ Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood.___18___ You’ve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, you’ll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.___19___ I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to. ____20____ It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.A. Take action.B. Play some lively music.C. Get out of the house and do something.D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.F.

These stories are often considered as folk tales （民间传说）rather than real experiences. However, the large number of sightings and the use of modern technology are changing this attitude, making us wonder if those men were telling real experiences.The following are some of the most well-known cases about sea monsters living in the oceans.On August 6, 1848, in the Atlantic Ocean, seven men reported that they saw a creature about 60 feet long. The c reature‟s body was dark brown in color except for its white throat area. The creature was swimming at a speed of 15 miles per hour with its head above the water.In 1961, Mrs. Stoudt and her sister were walking with their children along a strait in Washington D.C. when they saw something like a tree branch in the water. As the object moved closer to them, they saw a creature, which had a snake-like head and 3 humps（峰）. They said it looked like some sort of dinosaur. Then it moved even closer to them. Its frightening look made one of Mrs. Stoudt‟s children cry.On December 12, 1964, French photographer Robert Serrec was having a holiday in Queensland, Australia. He was out off the coast in small boats with his family and friends. Suddenly, they noticed a creature, about 75-80 feet long. They described it as a tadpole-like（像蝌蚪的）creature with a snake-like head. They took pictures of the creature before it swam off.41. Which of the following statements about the 1848 sea monster is NOT true?A. It was about sixty feet long.B. It kept its head above the water when it swam.C. Its whole body was dark brown.D. It was found in the Atlantic Ocean.42. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. the 1848 sea monster swam faster than the 1961 and the 1964 sea monstersB. the three sea monsters mentioned in the passage each had a snake-like headC. the 1964 sea monster was longer than the 1848 sea monsterD. Robert Serrec went to Australia in order to see a sea monster43. The writer‟s purpose in writing the passage is ____.A. to show people the danger of traveling by seaB. to tell us that sea monster stories might be trueC. to explain why people are afraid of sea monstersD. to tell people where they can find sea monstersBHave you ever gone to Yellowstone National Park? Do you know anything about it? If not, the following information will help you to have a basic knowledge of the park.Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park, and also the largest in the UnitedStates. The park was completed on March 1, 1872, and its administration（管理）went to the US Army right after it was completed. Forty-five years later, the administration was passed on to the National Park Service.Yellowstone National Park covers an area of 8,987 km2. Hundreds of structures have been built there and are protected for their historical significance（意义）. In the park, there are lakes, canyons, rivers and mountains. It is well-known for its wildlife. Hundreds of species of animals are kept there and some of them are endangered（濒临灭绝的）. There are also many special species of plants in the large forests and grasslands. Yellowstone supplies a lot of relaxing opportunities to visitors, such as hiking, ca mping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. There‟s one thing you should keep in mind: forest fires take place in the park every year. In the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park was burned out.Every visitor is welcome to share and enjoy the beauty of Yellowstone National Park. And if you want to get more information, you can get to .44. When did the administration of Yellowstone National Park go to National Park Service?A. In 1872.B. In 1917.C. In 1927.D. In 1988.45. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. Yellowstone National Park is the world‟s largest national parkB. there are no mountains in Yellowstone National ParkC. not all the animals kept in Yellowstone National Park are endangeredD. you can play golf in Yellowstone National Park46. The third paragraph is about _____.A. the basic features (特征) of Yellowstone National ParkB. the history of Yellowstone National ParkC. the activities people can do in Yellowstone National ParkD. the animals in Yellowstone National Park47. After reading the passage, we can infer that the passage is most probably from _____.A. a science magazineB. a book about animals and plantsC. a news reportD. a travel guidebookC Space is a dangerous place．not only because of meteors(流星)but also because of rays from the sun and other stars．The Atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth．Light gets through，and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat．Heat，too，makes our environment endurable．Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space，but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off．As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft，if they are inside，do prevent a lot of radiation damage．Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space．The unit of radiation is called “rem”．Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged；the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on．The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well，but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged，and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren．Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and，during the outward and return journeys，the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems．So far．no dangerous amounts df radiation have been reported，but theApollo missions have been quite short．We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere，working in a space laboratory．Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation，but no really effective ones have been found so far．48. According to the first paragraph，the atmosphere is essential to man in that______．A．it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB．it provides sufficient light for plant growthC．it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD．it screens off the falling meteors49．It can be inferred from the passage that________．A．the Apollo mission was very successfulB．protection from space radiation is no easy jobC．astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD．radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers50．The best title for this passage would be_________．A. The Atmosphere and Our Environment B．Research on Radiation.C．Effects of Space Radiation D．Importance of Protection Against Radiation四.任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

山西省曲沃中学2013-2014学年高一下学期第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共20小题，满分60分）AThe fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun‟s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab‟s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!1. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun‟s raysC. at low tideD. every fifty minutes2. The crab‟s changing colour ______.A. tells the crab what time it isB. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemiesC. keeps the crab warmD. is of no real use3. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.A. did not change colourB. changed colour more quicklyC. changed colour more slowlyD. changed colour on the same timetable4. The best title for this selection would be ______.A. The Sun and the TidesB. Discoveries in BiologyC. A scientific StudyD. A Living ClockBDriving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic(交通) signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of a London, from the smallest lane(小巷) to the most popular bar(酒吧) around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (点心). He said. “I never drink when I’m working ---- I would lose my licence(执照).”He normally goes home between 2 and 3 O‟clock in th e night, There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “That‟s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don‟t make the money , no one is going to give it to you.”London taxi drivers not only ‘take’but also ‘give’, Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea--- by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares(车费) all go to the ‘London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children.‟ At the sea. they are met by the mayor, a nda lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again-- by taxi, and free of charge, of course!5. The London taxi drivers _______.A. work hard because no one would give them money for doing nothingB. never stop driving in the cityC. only work between 2 and 3 o‟clock in the nightD. are very rich6. The author of the passage says that _______.A. the taxi driver works longer than is necessaryB. the more runs the taxi driver makes, the more he getsC. the taxi driver doesn‟t like to work for othersD. the taxi drivers in the city not only take money but also give money7. London taxi driver _______.A. tak e money because they have to pay for the children‟s rideB. go to the sea for a day in the summerC. pay the fares for the poor children to the sea for a day once every yearD. give the poor children a free ride for a day at the sea once every year8. The underlined words under privileged Children mean children _______.A. of low income familiesB. who like to travel in taxiC. who wish to go to sea but have no moneyD. from LondonCPeople living in the country enjoy several advantages that people living in the city cannot enjoy.They are in close contact (接触) with nature.

In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family ranked among (跻身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social (社交界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed (抗拒) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position (社会地位) and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance (坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.13.

Her father opposed her.C. She had no social position.D. She did not come from an artist‟s family.七选五There is an English saying:“16._________.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
