2016届上学期高三英语月考一试卷第一节（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。
AWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. th e aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.24. Parents give their children allowances in order to _____.A. show off their wealth of familyB. let them make more moneyC. learn the value of moneyD. help children manage family finance25. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The time to give allowances.B. The way to spend allowances.C. the amount of allowances given to children.D. Considerations taken to give allowances.26. Why are parents advised to offer young children allowances strictly as planned?A. To help children learn to make a budget.B. To have children save money for larger costs.C. To let children make fewer mistakes.D. To give them more allowances next time.27. What does the author intend to tell the readers?A. The methods of limiting allowances.B. The advice on a better family budget.C. Teaching children to use allowances wisely.D. Offering allowances to children properly.CThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work.. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.28. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A. At about twenty-fiveB. In their earl fiftiesC. At the age of fifteenD. At any age from fifteen to forty-five29. What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900?A. The youngest child could live to fifteen.B. Four of five children died after they were five.C. Seven or eight children lived to be more than five.D. Some children died when the were very young.30. When she was over fifty , a late nineteenth-century mother ______.A. was usually expected to die fairly soonB. would expect to work until she diedC. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsD. was less like to find a job even if she wanted to31. What do we know from the passage?A. Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home.B. More and more women are looked down upon by husbands.C. Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs.D. A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children.DMore than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence.Wayne Meisel, director of the campus Outreach opportunity League of Minnesota University, said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves.In these circumstances, he said, young people lack confidence, which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.In spite of the different conditions in China, Li Xuequan, director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation, said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation (通货膨胀) and corruption (腐败).In order to solve these problems, the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young people, as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of “challenge to youth” to many young people, urging them to commit themselves to meeting such needs as feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the lonely and sick, serving the elderly and preserving the environment.The letter says: “Through the service, we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”32. What is the main factor that leads to young peop le’s lack of confidence in both countries?A. their educationB. their lazinessC. economic pressureD. part -time jobs33. What is the possible situation in the 1960s?A. Young people lacked confidence as well.B. Young people were quite confident in America.C. Young people in America were able to do anything well.D. Young Chinese people were very confident.34. The word “commit” in the sixth paragraph probably means “_________”.A. keepB. devoteC. helpD. express35. The passage is mainly about _________ in the two countries.A. lack of confidence of the young peopleB. some problems of the young people and ways to solve themC. approaches to touching the lives of othersD. challenges of the young people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。

AThe Orphan（孤儿）Trains began 75 years ago. They helped thousands of children without parents or homes. Some children were adopted by Christian families. Those who were not adopted were the official foster children.Most Orphan Train children found good homes with loving Christian families. But a few ended up with families who used the children as servants. Anyway, if a child were being badly treated, the Orphan Trains usually found him or her a new home. They were not only provided with food and shelter but also kept away from a life of crime.Clara and her two brothers were lucky to find good homes through the Orphan Trains. When Clara was about seven, her parents and a sister were killed when they tried to cross a river in New York State. She and her two brothers, five-year-old James and three-year-old Howard, were sent to different families in Kansas. Each child ended up with a different loving family. They were able to keep in touch with one another throughout their lives. Clara’s new mother was a school teacher. When she grew up, Clara married, moved to Texas and lived a happy life all through her life.In an interview, the grown-up “orphans” said they learn ed in the process of their life how important it is to be loved. They grew up to become loving, caring parents of their own children.21.

Suddenly, a girl flies intothe air. She drops down into the arms of her fellow cheerleaders. They start dancing, waving colorful pom-poms （彩球）and chanting. The whole crowd joins in the chant, lifting the spirits of the team.Since ancient times, there have always been audiences to cheer on athletes. But somehow it took thousands of years for organized cheers to start. They first appeared at Princeton University in the 1880s. Students organized a crowd chant that went “Tah Rah Rah, Tiger Tiger Tiger, Sis Sis Sis, Boom Boom Boom, Aaaaaaahhh! Princeton! Princeton! Princeton!” Not surprisingly, this chant didn’t catch on.In 1898, a man named Johnny Campbell from the University of Minnesota became the first cheerleader. During a football game, he wanted to pump up the crowd, so he started leading them in a chant that went “Rah Rah Rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-Rah! Hoo-rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-So-Tah!” Soon after, the first cheerleading team was created.Nowadays, 97% of cheerleaders are female. So, it’s pretty hard to believe women were not allowed to be cheerleaders until 1923. When women joined in, the sport changed in varieties of ways. Women cheerleaders made it more athletic by adding gymnastics and acrobatics（特技）into the act.Though women were becoming more common in cheerleading, the majority of cheerleaders were men until the 1940s. When America joined World War II in 1942, many college-aged men went off to war. Women took over the cheerleading roles and from then on, they dominated（主导）the sport.Pom-poms, the flashy balls that cheerleaders hold in each hand while doing their cheers, were first used in the 1960s. They add a little extra excitement and flash to the cheerleaders’ moves.As cheerleading became more popular, it then spread from college to high school and finally became an important part of American culture.24.

They’re considered to be weak and womanlike.D. They used to take control of the cheerleading world.27. What event led to the female dominance of cheerleading?A. The American Civil War.B. The Second World War.C. The invention of pom-poms.D. The addition of gymnastics.COnce an old man rose early to read each morning. His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read just like you do, but I don’t understand most of it, and I forget whatever I do understand immediately I close the book. So what good is it for me to read?”The grandfather, who was putting coal on the fire, said, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as told to, but the water leaked out before he could get the basket home.The grandfather laughed, saying, “You’ll have to move a little faster.” This time he ran faster, but again the basket emptied. Out of breath, he decided it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket （桶）. But the grandfather said, “I want a basket of water instead of a bucket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy knew what he was trying to accomplish was impossible. However, he decided to show his grandfather a third time.The boy dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could. With the empty basket, he gasped（喘气说）, “See Grandpa? It’s useless!”“So you think it useless?” the old man asked. “Then look at the basket.” To his surprise, the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out.“My child, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but the words will change you inside and out. That is the work of reading in our lives.”28. Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water？A.

Women reportedly cry 64 times a year on average, while men shed（流）tears about 17 times. Everyone from professional athletes such as Michael Jordan to politicians like Barack Obama has been caught crying at least once. But why do we cry?Some psychologists believe crying is our body’s response when we’re helpless. Even if we’re surprised by happy news, we may still cry. Other psychologists say that when we cry, we’re trying to get others to help us out when we’re surprised, sad, angry, scared, or in danger.Therapist（临床专家）Judith Kay Nelson says that our experience with crying as babies may determine how we view crying when we’re older. Some parents are quick to try and calm their kids down whenever they start crying. Those children will likely find crying in their adult years brings a similar comfort. On the other hand, those whose parents became angered by their crying probably won’t feel crying has the same calming effect.Many people believe crying can actually make a person feel better. But according to studies, whether it makes us feel better or not depends on the reactions of others. If others react positively, we’ll feel better. On the contrary, we’ll feel worse.People’s reactions to crying have a lot to do with the gender（性别）of the person weeping. In the West, it’s generally acceptable for women to be seen crying. In Britain boys are taught not to cry. Even though people are becoming more enlightened about tears, crying in males is still viewed as a sign of weakness. Philip Hodson, an expert on male emotions, has a different viewpoint. “In truth, crying isn’t weakness; it’s a relaxation system,” hesays. “If we don’t use this system, we’re not being very intelligent.” After all, everybody cries.32. What can be learned about the act of crying from the statistics?A. Everyone, regardless of sex, cries.B. Some people never cry.C. Women often cry for no reason at all.D. Men actually cry more than women.33. Which is the opinion of therapist Judith Kay Nelson?A. The act of crying has a calming effect on all of us.B. Parents shouldn’t rush to calm their baby when it cries.C. The way we view crying is shaped by our childhood experience.D. Parents’ responses to a crying baby will determine its personality type.34. What is said about crying making a person feel better?A. It is completely false.B. It is dependent on a person’s age.C. It is true only for men.D. It is influenced by others’ responses.35. What can we infer about Western cultures from the last paragraph?A. Only intelligent people can relax by crying.B. Crying is still less socially acceptable for males than females.C. Males are now encouraged to express their emotions through crying.D. British people consider it unhealthy to keep feelings bottled up inside.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。
