湖北省宜昌市葛洲坝中学2018-2019学年高二5月月考英语试题含答案

宜昌市葛洲坝中学2018-2019学年第二学期高一年级五月阶段性检测英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

ALast summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bermese Alps.On arriving at Erlenbach where my host family live, I knew I couldn’t have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldn’t have asked for a better host family, either. They made me feel like part of their family, rather than a tourist, which was the most wonderful part of my stay there. I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities, whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends’ houses. I wasn't only travelling around Europe seeing the major sights, but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's, there are lots of differences, too. For example, most Swiss leave their windows open—without screens—all the time. At first I thought all the bugs (虫子) were going to get in and eat me alive, and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. But then I realised there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language. I expected the Swiss to speak German, but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German, which has hardly anything in common with German. At times I was very frustrated (受挫的) because my three years of German did not help, but my bad mood did not last. Anyhow, many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took, but it was also the most rewarding. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach. There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.21. What did the writer like best about his stay in Switzerland?A. Playing a part in the host family's housework.B. Making lots of friends in the village.C. Feeling a great sense of belonging there.D. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Alps.22. How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept thewindows open?A. Relaxed.B. Worried.C. Disappointed.D. Excited.23. Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit?A. Because he found his German not good enough for communication.B. Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.C. Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.D. Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.BBritish Women Writers in Different Periods of Time The English RenaissanceThe English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a number of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery. A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behn's works also include the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.The Neoclassical periodAmong the well-known women in British literature during the neoclassical period,from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Two other women are recognised for their contributions to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.The Romantic periodJane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period ( 1798- 1832 ). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another famous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Shelley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of Six Weeks Tour and The Last Man.The Victorian periodThe Victorian period, between the 1830s and1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlotte's novels include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mary Anne Evans used the male pen name George Eliot as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine works of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.24. According to the passage, what are Aphra Behn's plays mainly about?A. Cooking and gardening.B. Racism and slavery.C. Economic security.D. Education of women.25.Which period does Jane Austen belong to?A. The Victorian period.B. The English Renaissance.C. The Neoclassical period.D. The Romantic period.26. Why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories underthe name of George Eliot?A. Women were forbidden to write novels then.B. Her works would be different.C. It helped promote her works.D. It sounded more popular.27. If a reader is interested in women's education,whose works can be the best choice?A. Anne Finch's.B.Mary Astell's.C. Mary Wortley Montagu's.D. Mary Shelley's.CWith the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in Our lives. Have you ever run into careless cellphone users on the street? Maybe they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of humans has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers ( 低头族).Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his cellphone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending of the film seems unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bringis real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks af ter long term stretching. Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellplones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight. Consequently, we should know some approaches to getting rid of these damages.28. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2 ?A. To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.B. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.C. To call for people to go walking without phones.D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this.29. According to the passage，what risks may a phubber have?①Destroying the world.②Affecting his social skills.③Damaging his neck and eyesight.④Getting separated from his friends and family.A. ②③④B. ①②④C. ①②③④D. ①③④30. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing?A. Confident.B. Supportive.C. Optimistic.D. Disapproving.31. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. Bad effects of phubbing.B Ways to avoid the risks of phubbingC. Methods of phubbing.D. Daily life of phubbers.DFrom the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we are all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes of the climate in the areas that produce cacao—the plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon become extinct.Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn’t lie in increasing heat, but in lower humidity(湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it is unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分)loss,”wrote Michon Scott, the essay’s author.To help fight with this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world’s biggest companies of chocolate products, announced thatit would spend 1 billion dollars to help reduce the effects of climate change.“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will becomea thing of the past.32. What will make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future?A. The decrease of rainfall.B. The increasing heat.C. The higher humidity.D. The moisture loss in the soil.33. What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Bring up.B. Make up.C. Use up.D. Dry up.34. What will Mars do to help cacao survive?A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.B. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.C. It will use the gene editing technology to plant cacao.D. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.35. What is this article mainly about?A. The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.B. Problems cacao plants could face and the possible solutions.C. The significance of working together to fight climate change.D. Some new research and findings about growing cacao.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。

2019-2020学年湖北省宜昌市葛洲坝中学高二（上）月考英语试卷（8月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIf Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently,the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art,history and philosophy（哲学）.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United States,at the same time,are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever,and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West,even if his birthday is.1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. show great respect for the ancient thinkerC. attract the readers' interest in the subjectD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations2.What is the best title for the passage？______A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD. Old Thinker with a Big Future3.The passage is likely to appear in ______ .A. a newspaperB. a history paperC. a philosophy textbookD. a p biographyBWhen we think of leadership,we often think of strength and power.But what are thesereally,and how do they operate？Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.If this is even possible,it isshort-term,and tends to backfire.If you order someone to do something against their will,they may do it because they feel they must,but the anger they feel will do more harm in thelong-term.They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down,making the person unable to function at his or her best.If they associate you with this emotion of fear,they will become less functional around you,and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot，but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively.Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character,and our understanding and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something,which may be part of the work day；or we can employ them at the emotional level,so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation（积极性）.Today's work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they're recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand the way things work.They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor （因素）in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence---knowing your own emotions,and how to handle them,and those ofothers.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you,which is the key to the leadership skills. 4.The underlined phrase "shooting oneself in the foot" means ______ in this passage.A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objectiveB. to injure or harm one's own interestsC. to move or pass suddenly or swiftlyD. to grow forth from the ground5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.B. Working conditions affect people's physical health.C. Good relationship is the key to business success.D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.6.To positively influence employees,a leader should first of all ______ .A. hide his own emotion of fearB. provide better suggestionsC. give his employees a pay raiseD. develop his own personality7.Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to ______ .A. provide a variety of project for employeesB. help raise employees' living standardsC. deal wisely with employees' emotionsD. give employees' specific instructions（指导）CDuring the rosy years of elementary school,I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes,which allowed me to keep my high social status.I was the queen of the playground.Then came my tweens and teens,and mean girls and cool kids.They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes,breaking rules and playing jokes on others,among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology.Mitch Prinstein,a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories：the likable and the status seekers.The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships,jump-start interpersonal skills and,when tapped early,are employed ever after in life and work.Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence：status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed,Dr.Prinstein's studies show unpleasantconsequences.Those who were highest in status in high school,as well as those least liked in elementary school,are "most likely to engage（从事）in dangerous and risky behavior".In one study,Dr.Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents,scoring the least liked,the most liked and.the highest in status based on student surveys . "We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates.But so had those who were high in status.It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment,high status has just the opposite effect on us."Dr.Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date- sharing,kindness,openness ---- carry over to later years and.make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research,Dr.Prinstein came to another conclusion：Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes,but it is also responsible for t those outcomes,too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage," he said.8.What sort of girl was the author in early years of elementary schoo1？______A.

More Self—Control,Less AggressiveDThe market for ride sharing is starting to look like a pie-eating competition where the prize is……more pie.Lyft went public on March 29，and the stock （股票）almost immediately went into a quick drop as money-providers noticed that the company hadn't made any money yet and didn't h pave any clear plans to do so.On April 11，Uber went public in the stock market too.The company said it commands more than 50 percent of the ride-hailing（叫车服务）market in America and Europe----and had an operating loss of ﹩3 billion last year,about three times as much as Lyft lost.Think about that：those two companies lost nearly ﹩4 billion in a single year transporting people.What's happening in the ride-sharing market is special in a number of ways.First,it offers what is called "network effects"：The more riders you have,the easier it is to attract and send drivers,and the more drivers you have,the more riders you will attract.Markets that display network effects prefer to benefit a few players,and possibly only one. Second,ride sharing has no changing costs.It's simple to get both apps on your phones,and many riders and drivers do just that,which means fierce competition over every single ride. There are only two ways that the price war can end.Either Uber or Lyft come to some sort of agreement to stop selling their services below cost,or at least one of the companies may need to die.And so the pie-eating competition may continue forever,until everyone bursts.There may finally be no route to money for these companies,no payoff for money-providers.The number of major ride-riding companies may not be two,or even one,but none.12.What do we know about "network effects"？______A. More riders will attract more drivers.B. More players will crowd the market.C. More drivers will give up the use of apps.D. More network companies will survive.13.What do Uber and Lyft have in common？______A. Entering for the pie-making company.B. Going public in stock market.C. Benefiting the money-providers.D. Enjoying a financially bright future.14.What is one way out to end the price war？______A. Putting more money into the market.B. Selling services below cost.C. Arriving at a win-win agreement.D. Having free access to either company.15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. Riding-hailing market,we're comingB. Locked in a price war,only two ways outC. Uber or Lyft,who cares？D. The prize for a pie-eating competition二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Evaluating Sources （来源）of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information,how to separate fact from opinions,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. (1) Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study. (2)Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior "contributes to" or is "associated with" an outcome；this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. (3) Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. (4) Evaluate "scientific" statements carefully,and be aware of quackery（江湖骗术）.(5) Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C.And examine the findings of the original research.D.Be sure to work through the critical questions.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Make choice that are right for you.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.16.
