2010-2023历年重庆巫山中学高二上第一次月考英语试卷(带解析)第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover tha t he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s t erm, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.【小题1】How much did the lottery winner lose?A.Two hundred dollars.B.One hundred dollars.C.Three hundred dollars.D.Four hundred dollars.【小题2】We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A.buy lottery ticketsB.make use of half-truthsC.not take anything at face valueD.not trust the Yucky Company【小题3】What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 me an?A.final increaseB.big advantageC.large shareD.total saving【小题4】What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement? A.False statements are easy to see through.B.Advertisements are based on facts.C.Doctors like to act in advertisements.D.Half-truths are often used to mislead people.2.Winners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers. It has been made to help you better manage your money. The Winners Club is a transactionaccount(交易账户)where you receive a key-card so you can get to your money 24/7 –that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!It’s a club with impressive features for teenagers:No account keeping fees!You’re no millionaire so we don’t expect you to pay la rge fees. In fact, there are no account keeping or transaction fees!Excellent interest rates!You want your money to grow. The Winners Club has a good rate of interest which gets even better if you make at least two deposits without taking them out in a month. ConvenientTeenagers are busy–we get that. You may never need to come to a bank at all. With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers(柜员机)and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet.

It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet, I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is writtenin our hearts and souls.

Green building also means the resource-efficient design , construction , and operation of houses , which highlights environmental quality . In other words , green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment . This requires close cooperation of the design team , the architects , the engineers , and the client at all project stages .Green building mea ns “ reducing the impact of the building on the land ” , Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington , D.C. , said . According to Holowka , buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use .But green buildings can reduce energy and water use . Also , the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways , so that people can drive their cars less . That could be good for the environment , because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution . Green buildings are often built on developed land , so that the buildings don’t destroy forests .Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action . The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building .A ccording to Dettling , “ We’ve reduced energy use by one-third and our water by50 percent . ”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power . “ On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity , ” Dettling explained . The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room . In addition , the building has lots of windows , allowingpeople to use the sun for light during the day . The Solaire cuts water by reusing it .Not everyone is eager to move into a green building , however . Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources . Anyhow , Holowka said , “ It’s going to be big . ”25.

When Holowka says in the last paragraph , “ It’s going to be big ” , she means that green buildings __________ .A. will be more comfortableB. will be more environmentally friendlyC. will become popular in the futureD. will take the place of traditional buildingsDText messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary(初步的)results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”--- a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there's just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous(非同步的)mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “We're in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents' tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it's a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likelyto be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational,for example? ”For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables(可变因素)whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.32. The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means .A. doubtfulB. straightforwardC. generalD. imaginary33. We can learn from the passage that .A. people fond of text messaging are more honestB. different variables might affect the responses of messagingC. texting will give away less sensitive informationD. about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers34. Compared with phone interviews, texting has the advantage that people could________ .A. have more time to make a replyB. present their best to the interviewersC. pay less for sending a messageD. enjoy more freedom of speech35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Texting Downs ResponsesB. Texting Exposes IdentityC. Texting Benefits IntervieweesD.
