Reading Comprehension (15%)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami alsoshows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.51. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about __________.A. museums throughout the worldB. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.AC. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. latest development of computer art52. To see the art in FIU museum, people need __________.A. floppy discsB. a computer and a printerC. pictures and drawings on paperD. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line53. The FIU museum was started when __________.A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientistsB. art students4 needed a place to show their worksC. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artistsD. computer scientists wanted to do something about art54. “An audience” in th e last paragraph refers to __________.A. computer ownersB. art studentsC. those who will enjoy artD. computer artists55. If you were to go to work for this company, you could expect to ______________.A. move up to a better pay if your work was goodB. be out of work at certain times of the yearC. pay your own hospital and doctor billsD. work on Sundays and holidays56.

The jobs being offered probably require __________________.A. precious training in higher mathematicsB. a knowledge of office practicesC. experiences in electronicsD. no special skillsThe majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts.Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.58.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. Judy was against the idea of having women in space at firstB. Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut trainingC. Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35D. Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel59.Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because _______.A. she was popular with the news mediaB. she expected to give history lessons in spaceC. she was an excellent teacher and communicatorD. she made the students in space very excited50.The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that ________.A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same yearB. a young secondary school teacher was on the flightC. students were going to learn more about space travelD. it was the first time for women to travel in space61.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two AstronautsB. Flight STS-51-LC. Travelling in SpaceD. The Training Programme(D)City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during “rush hour”, when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that commuters should share their cars and give each other lifts. So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is an excellent idea, however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to compel people to do so.To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters（计量仪器）are used. When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter records this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine.Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter registers “Time expired”（时间已到）, the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the registration number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at a parking meter.62. The underlined word “standstill” means _____.A. rushB. stopC. adventureD. struggle63. Which detail is not written on the printed form?A. Registration number of the car.B. The place where the car is parked.C. The name of the car owner.D. The place to pay the fine.64. Which is not true about the parking meters?A. People can put coins into it.B. It keeps a record of the time when drivers park their car.C. It shows people when they have to drive away the cars.D. It warns the drivers ten minutes before the time limit.65. What’s the advantage of using parking meters in the streets?A. It makes it possible that everyone has a place to park his car.B. It discourages motorists from parking cars for too long a time.C. It saves labor because traffic wardens are no longer needed.D. It keeps a record of time and drivers can put the parking fine into it第二卷(35%)I.

AAmsterdam, the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museum, cycling culture, and Red Light District. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking betweenmid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generallycheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive andwill give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rentalcars before you book.1.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A. Albert Cuyp Market.B. The Ann Frank House.C. The Van Gogh Museum.D. The Canal Ring.2. Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to thepassage?A. The plane.B. The train.C. The car.D. The bike.3. Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A .Seeing the tulips blooming in spring. B. Avoiding accommodating downtown.C. Buying car tickets at the machine.D. Hiring a local tour guide.BTwelve years ago, a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco,California, visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo. In one area of therainforest, he watched a bird flying through the trees. The beautiful sight left quitean impression on him. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that treeshad been cut down in the area he visited.That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests andthreats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, in 1999, heused his research for the book to create a website. The site is Mongabay. Com. Hispurpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject quicklydeveloped. As a former businessman, he became a respected writer of science andenvironmental stories.The popularity of Mongabay. Com attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mongabay. Com has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children which is called kids. Mongabay. Com. Another one, WildMadangascar. Org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs(狐猴). He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers, students and teachers. In April, Time. Com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Rhett Butler and his website.B. Rainforest on Malaysian Borneo.C. How Rhett Butler protected rare animals.D. How Rhett Butler made his website popular.5. Rhett Butler didn’t publish his book about rainforests because _______.A. making websites earns more money than writing booksB. he didn’t want to become a writerC. the book was not about rainforest protectionD. he wanted to use the information to create a website6. Which of the followings is NOT true about the Mongabay. Com?A. It was set up in 1999.B. It attracted many advertisers.C. At least two related websites grew from it.D. Rhett Butler made a lot of money from it.7. To keep his website going, Rhett Butler ________.A. kept visiting the rainforestB. traveled around and interviewed expertsC. raised rare snow leopardsD. made a great number of advertisementsCMy daughter had a bullying(欺凌) problem a couple of years ago. She kept receiving rude text messages from kids at school. Dealing with school bullying wasn’t easy, but I finally ended it. When you realize things are serious, it is no time to be silent.If your kids are also receiving such text messages, take them directly to the headmaster and show him. Describe to him how it is affecting your kids. Tell him you will not tolerate it and that you want him to put an end to it now.School bullying is a dangerous and serious issue these days .and any good headmaster w ill take your charges seriously. He will probably address the issues with the parents. If they are crappy(糟糕的)parents, then they may do nothing to their child. You may have to repeat this process several times, but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don’t allow your child to delete them .Now it is time to draw your child close and take care of him/her, because he/she needs it. My daughter did not like me being involved either, but you are the only person your kid can depend on to solve this problem, so do it and mean business. Always be polite, but straight forward . The headmaster and parents must know you mean business.If repeated meetings with the headmaster (and parents , if he allows it ) do not work, then I would consider hiring a lawyer. That will send the message loud and clear. When you are talking about financial loss, most parents will stand up and take notice and act to keep their kids under control!I know a lawyer is a big expense and not something you do lightly, but when bad things like school bullying are happening to your children, you must act and act quickly.8.Which of the foll owing can replace the underlined word “tolerate” in Paragraph 2?A. mindB. discussC. standD. affect9. What does the author suggest about school bullying in Paragraph 4?A. Children can deal with it themselves.B. Not all bullying problems can be solved.C. Parents should fully respect kids’ thoughts.D. It’s necessary for parents to be involved in it.10. What should parents do if the headmaster fails to solve the bullying problem?A.Ask a lawyer for help.B. Put your child under your care.C. Meet the bullies in person.D. Ask the parents of the bullies for money.11. Why does the author write the text?A. To seek help .B. To offer advice.C. To ask for advice.D. To share his experience.DRobot vacuum cleaners aren’t a new concept, having been around for more than 15 years, but they have become greatly more helpful since the days of catching on rug hairs, running out of battery mid-clean and forgetting where they were.But the next generation of disc-shaped floor-cleaners could bring some of the most important upgrades yet, including being more autonomous than ever and knowing exactly where they are in your home and where you need them to be.iRobot’s latest Roombas, the i7 and i7+, shown off at a recent event in Tokyo, will be arriving in Australia in the coming months. Their key new feature: persistent mapping of your home. The ability to map not only makes the robot quicker and more efficient, but lets it integrate(融入) more closely with smart homes. Once it’s explored your house a few times, the i7 will present you with a map via its smart phone app, which Angle says tends to be “maybe 80 per cent right”.As the robot travels around cleaning up dust, it draws a floor plan and uses a sensor(传感器) to identify landmarks and objects. Unlike previous models, the i7 remembers this information, meaning it will learn the most efficient paths around your home over time.If you change the layout of your furniture, it will adapt the existing map rather than having to create a whole new one and if you have a multi-storey house, it simplymakes multiple maps, and uses its learned landmarks to determine which floor it’s on (you’ll still need to carry it up the stairs).iRobot’s CEO and founder Colin Angle says the i7 class, the company’s 10th generation Roomba, is the robot he’s always wanted to build; capable of keeping a home’s floors clean with virtually no user input needed.“This robot has 30 times the processing power of its former generation,” he says. “So we’re fully into a situation today where we can be running machine learning and visual object recognition technology and very advanced algorithms(演算法; 运算法则) on the robot, to allow it to continue to work on increasingly complicated code.”12.According to the passage the robot cleaners invented 15 years ago could ______.A. catch on the hairs on the rugB. charge the battery mid-cleanC. draw the map of the homeD. know their exact home position13. The underlined word “layout” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A. arrangementB. designC. styleD. size14. Which of the following statements about the i7 and i7+ is true?A. i7 remembers the identified landmarks like former models.B. They can enter the room upstairs themselves and clean it.C. They can do better in math than the previous cleaners.D.i7 can present a map exactly via its smart phone app.15. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Technologies in the Cleaner.B. The Future of iRobots.C. The Development of iRobots.D. The Latest Robot Cleaner.其次节（共5小题；每小题3分，共15分）依据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

English is among them.Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day —and this does not affect his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast. 41.By the learn while you sleep method, one____ . A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep betterC. is made to remember his lesson in sleepD. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed 42.In the experiment, lessons were given____ . A. in the night timeB. after lullabies were broadcastC. while the student was awakeD. all through the twelve hours43.Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____ . A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voiceC. listen to the lesson again in sleepD. review the lesson by himself44.The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach____ . A. the English language B. grammar and vocabulary C. a number of subjects D. foreign languages Passage BFrom Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time. Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything fromcollecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty cent piece worth S ｜250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable . On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.That's what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.：45.The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means____ .A. differentB. strangeC. secretD. one's own46. In the writer's opinion, ____.A. all hobbies are very expensiveB. some hobbies don't cost anythingC. hobbies are worthlessD. hobbies are valuable to everybody47.Something that one enjoys doing in one's spare time is a____ .A. jobB. pleasureC. hobbyD. habit48.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.B. We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.C. The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.D. To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.Passage CMillions of years ago there were many types of dinosaurs on earth. Most dinosaurs were plant eaters. The Apatosaurus, for example, had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees. Other dinosaurs were meat eaters. The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the earth, but they died out about 65 million years ago. The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery. Some scientists think that the climate changed suddenly. Fossils (化石) of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. This means that it got suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.A new idea is that a meteor (流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed. They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust landed on the plants. Also the dust blocked (阻挡) the sun's light for as long as five years. Many animals, including dinosaurs, were plant eaters, and perhaps the dust killed them. This means there was nothing left for meat eating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out. But, as many animals from that time didn’t die, we are not 100% su re what really happened.49.What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Dinosaurs, the real animals living millions of years ago.B. The two types of dinosaurs.C. The probable reasons for dinosaurs disappearance.D. A meteor crashed into the earth.50.What are the two possible explanations to the dinosaurs disappearance?A. Temperature dropping and sea level dropping.B. Climate changing and meteor's crashing.C. The dropping of temperature and sea level.D. Climate changing and the dust blocking the sun.○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○…… 姓名 考号 考场号51.What is the direct cause of the disappearance of meat eating dinosaurs? A. A meteor's crashing. B.

You can have fun together and make each other happ y. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will r un away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliabil ity.Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and wewould enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!52.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. Understanding.B. honesty.C. Reliability.D. a sense of humor. 53.If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends 54.Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck 55.This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friend第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共40分）四、单词拼写（共计10 小题；每题1分；共10分）56.The society is always developing and we can't make exact____________(预测) of the future.57.Y ou should ______(当然) stay in the bed if the doctor tells you to.58.She is always ___________(乐观的) when she meets with difficulties.59.Will it be _______________(方便的)to come in the afternoon?60.She was __________(遭受) from a headache.61.Several official were_________（卷入）in the matter.62.She ______(变化) her dress as fashion changes.63.The orchestra will give two more ________(表演) this week.64.Students shouldn't leave school without the teacher's______(许可)65.Being deaf and dumb makes_________(交流) very difficult.五、写作（30分）近几年，由于汽车产业的迅速发展，私家车的购买量猛增。

旧州中学 2015——2016学年第二学期第二次月考试卷高一英语（时间：120分钟总分：120分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节；满分40分）（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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AIn most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”.Sm all talk means thelittlethings we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking c ountriespeople often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?”“Terribl e weather,isn’t it?”But there is something special about small talk. It must be about somethingwhich both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talkis to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather,so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people o ften disagreeabout religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. Thetopics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking plac e. At footballmatches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’tit?”At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”1.

In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time (午睡时间) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.“I was astonished by this finding,” Robert Stick gold told Science News. He is a cognitive neuro-scientist(神经学家） at Harvard Medical School who worked on the study of-how the brain and nervous system work, and cognitive studies look at how people learn and reason. So a cognitive neuro-scientist may study the brain processes that help people learn.In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (虚拟迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried - making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams before sleep and after steep - and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.About a dozen of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze.Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these people tried the computer maze again, they were generally able to find the tree faster than before their naps. However, people who had other dreams, or people who didn't take a nap, didn't show the same improvement.Stick gold suggests the dream itself doesn't help a person learn - it's the other way around.13.The better performance in working out the maze is connected with .A．how people dream B．what people dreamC．when people dream D．where people dream14．It is a cognitive scientists job to study_________ .A．how people dream and learn C．the structure of the nervous systemB．whether someone is reasonable D．the process of understanding15．The purpose of the study college by 99 college students is to .A．find the hidden tree in the mazeB．test the design of a difficult virtual mazeC．train people's memoryD．see how dreams and learning are connected第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem. Once he spo ts Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He's a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be ''the boss. ''He is very used to their company, '' Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. ''But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess, '' said Andrew.When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. ''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),'' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.''21. What was Toro like when the herders found him?A. He was left alone.B. He was seriously ill.C. He was lost in the bush.D. He was fighting with lions.22.

Moments showing friendship between animalsBWhen Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level fornon-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national colleg e entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the internatio nal community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a lang uage he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”25. What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?A. She went abroad.B. She learned Chinese.C. She found a job.D.

Wangjiku has lots of friends.B. Lots of people want to pass HSK6 exam.C. Wangjiku has passed HSK3 exam.D. Many people want to live in China.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Chinese Language Study Takes OffB. Chinese Play an Important Role in EconomyC.People Share the Experience of Learning ChineseD. Different Opinions about the Function of Chinese C Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜),suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma(黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as alking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those w ho don’t,” Slevin added.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.29. What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?A. The makers of sunscreen.B. Australian government.C.The Sunscreen Summit.D. New Zealand’s researchers.30. What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit? A. Using sunscreen before outdoor activities. B. Using sunscreen as a morning routine. C. Reducing the use of sunscreen. D. Reducing outdoor activities.31. What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?A. People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.B.Sunscreen will never take effect.C. People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitaminD. D. Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.32. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?A.Interesting. B. Disappointing. C. Boring. D. Convincing. D Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is becausegreenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing.Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said.“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method.The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.33. What factor is the main cause of climate change?A. Greenhouse gases.B. Chemistry waste.C. Formic acid.D. Liquid fuel.34. What do we know about formic acid?A. It is a large amount of power.B. It can be found in ants.C. It is high- value equipment.D. It is a substance in clothing.35. What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?A. Doubtful.B. Aggressive.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.36. In what magazine can you read this text?A. A travel magazine.B. A sports magazine.C. A music magazine.D. A science magazine.EThe 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier Chinese attitude towards the sports people, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.China didn’t win any gold medals o n the first day. But, instead of criticizing(批评) the athletes who failed to win, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. “Looking at the results in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity(成熟) of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won the third place in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions.“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude towards competitive sports and the Olympics has gotten to a higher level”, said an article in the People’s Daily.37. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Gold medals can also cause sadness.B. Liu Xiang always disappoints his fans.C. Fans have high expectations of Liu Xiang.D. Liu Xiang got injured before the Olympics.38. What is people’s attitu de now towards the athletes who failed?A. Interested.B. Understanding.C. Angry.D. Disappointed.39. What makes people like Fu Yuanhui?A. Her Sina Weibo.B. Her kindness to the fans.C. Her attitude to competitions.D. Her winning a gold medal.40. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?A. Winning gold medals is important.B. Changing attitude to athletes is a must.C. Results are not important in the competition.D. Peoples’ attitude towards competitive sports is healthier.三、七选五（共5小题，每道题2分，共10分）After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. ____41____ However, is it as healthy as it can be?

辽宁省丹东市凤城市第一中学2020学年高一英语下学期第二次月考试题答题时间：100分钟满分：150分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your questionsometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!21. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places22. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.23. What can we infer from the text?A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BDo’s and Don’ts in Whale WatchingThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales(虎鲸) are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.· Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.· Approach no closer than 100 meters, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.· Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.· Start your boat only after the whales ar e more than 100 metres from your vessel.· Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.· Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.· Avoid disturbing groups of resting wh ales.· Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.· When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.· Limit the time spent with any gr oup of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.· If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.· Work together by com municating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.24.

So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as t he world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory(迁徙的) water birds,some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a g reen-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city--China’s fourth most populous--that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.27.The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?A.Designers.B.Visitors.C.Endangered water birds.D.Planes.28.What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A.It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.B.It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C.It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.D.People cannot watch birds up close here.29.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.B.Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C.The airport will become a permanent home for birds.D.Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.30.What is this passage mainly about?A.Airports shut down and open up.B.Airports turn into green lungs.C.China is to open the first Bird Airport.D.Birds are no longer enemies to airports.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
