2010-2023历年安徽省无为开城中学高二下学期第二次月考英语卷（带解析）第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens? For this, there are many reasons but most of them stem from not being able to properly understand their teens. It is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives. Thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.Here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers. 1. Try not to talk down to your teens. Make them feel as if their views really matter, which not only helps your discussions with your teen but bring you closer to him.2. Imagine what it would be like to be a teen. Try to remember some of the negative feelings you experienced as a teenager and apply it to your teen's situation.3. Never make negative remarks to your teen about what she has said or done.4. Remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his personal issues. So listen respectfully.5. Don't ignore your teen's feelings because it is usually a cry for help. For instance, if your teen is unusually angry, it may be time to spend a bit of quality time with your teen to determine what is wrong and where he is coming from.It is, therefore, necessary for parents to strive to keep lines of communication open at all times with their teens. Try to remember what it was like to be a teenager and how vulnerable（脆弱的）you felt. Then you will be well on your way to help your teen communicate more openly and honestly.【小题1】Why don't teens want to talk about their personal issues with their parents? A．Because they can't respect their parents.B．Because they can't understand their parents.C．Because their parents won't understand them well.D．Because their parents are not honest.【小题2】When your son comes to you for help, you should NOT _____.A．listen respectivelyB．treat him seriouslyC．care about his feelingD．make negative remarks【小题3】Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlinedphrase “talk down to”?A．put downB．look down uponC．chat withD．quarrel with【小题4】The best title for this passage is _____.A．Causes of generation gapB．Relations between teens and parentsC．Suggestions for parents-children effective communicationD．Problems with communication between teens and parents2.近来你们学校正准备创建和申报“省绿色学校”请你据此给某英文报写一篇短文。

However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented th e television, Philo Farnsworth.Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo testthe machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo sa id, “There you have it, electric television.”Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.66. Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?A.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Chinese are very generous(慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad. They also want their children to take extra -course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.As a result, parents can see that their children have some skills that others don’t have. And their children will probably do better in study in the future.But the problem is that parents are not educating them the most important skills they need?to be confident, happy and clever in life.In fact, the best education can also be very cheap. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable butdifficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.Besides, some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激发) his interest. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.What Chinese parents do in 71.________Ⅰ. Parents’ beliefthe72.________ they spend on education, the betterⅡ.

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Startingfrom June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic, not easy to rot away. People throw them away after using them only once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 yearsto break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.At home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to use daily necessities （日用品）once more. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.81. Please list at least 4 disposable things mentioned in the passage. (No more than 5 words)82. What will happen in some hotels in Beijing starting from June according to the passage?(No more than 9 words)83.
