高二上学期10月月考2021年高二10月月考英语试题 Word版含答案第一部分: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中,选出最佳选项。
AWith little rain, ancient Egyptians relied mostly on the Nile River to water their crops, so they could only grow certain kinds of food. They mainly grew wheat and barley (大麦).The Egyptians made the wheat into bread, soup and porridge, and they also added hops (啤酒花) to make the barley into beer. In fact, some people think that the Egyptians would not have be gun growing grain if they hadn’t liked beer so much. Many Egyptian models of beer jars have been found, which the Egyptians put into graves of dead people so that they would have beer in the next world.The Egyptians also ate meat. They went to a butcher shop and bought meat there, just as people do today. But because it rarely rains in Egypt, they could have the meat outside in the yard of the store instead of inside. Click on the left and you will see a model of a butcher shop, which wasalso found in somebody’s grave. Can you see the different cuts of meat all laid out? There is a whole leg of mutton at the very bottom. However, Egyptians thought pigs carried infectious disease. They ate beef, mutton, duck and goose.For dessert, the Egyptians had a great interest in dates. Here is a picture of some real Egyptian dates which were put into people’s graves for them to eat in the next world, and which were kept in the dry climate for three thousand years until archaeologists dug them up.Archaeologists have also found seeds which show that the Egyptians grew watermelon and other kinds of melon.1. In some people’s opinions, the ancient Egyptians started to grow grain because _______.A. they were short of foodB. they could sell the grain for moneyC. they wanted to produce beer with the grainD. they wanted to trade the grain for beer2. Concerning the ancient Egyptians, all of the following are true EXCEPT that _______.A. they mainly used the irrigation water from the Nile River to water the cropsB. they liked putting models of beer jars into the graves of their dead relativesC. they had to go inside the butcher shops to buy meat as people do todayD. they believed there was a new life in another world after their death3. In ancient Egypt, we would NOT find _______ on the dinner table.A. breadB. watermelonC. muttonD. pork4. Where is this passage most probably taken from?A. Newspaper.B. History book.C. Website.D. Travel guide.BAt times Marty made it sound too easy. On a visit to his home I heard him say, “People need to decide to be happy.”I pressed him. “What do you mean by that?” His face took on an skeptical look. “You have to ask me?” At that moment I felt a little foolish. plex human proble ms, at least to me, often prevent people from being happy. To Marty it was a matter of mon sense. I wondered, what was I missing? That night Marty told me a story that was very personal for him. I knew Marty and Mickey had four children. I didn’t know ther e had been a fifth. She was their second child. She died shortly after birth.“The funeral director was a super guy,” Marty said. “He knew we didn’t have anymoney, but he told us he would take care of our little girl. He went out and built a wood casket (小盒) for her.”Marty’s voice started to break. “He only charged us five dollars. It’s stuff like that. You can look for the good in people and you’ll find the good. You can look for the bad in people and you’ll find the bad.”I didn’t know what it was like to grow up poor. Marty’s life was filled with minimum-wage jobs, borrowing on insurance policies, and working overtime to make a little more money.In my lifetime I had seen people in similar circumstances grow angry. Bitterness took hold of their lives and choked them.“I never had much money, and I don’t think I ever will.” Marty said. “People think they need to have a lot of things to make them happy. They ought to look around and see what’s really important.” When Marty looked around, he saw the most beautiful girl in the world as his wife, four children who loved him, a home he took pride in, and a job that made him feel alive. He was happy because, in his mind, he had it all.5. The underlined word “skeptical” in the text can be replaced by “_____”.A. embarrassedB. curiousC. disappointedD. doubtful6. Marty shared one of his personal stories to _____.A. tell the author he experienced something sadB. prove the funeral director was a good personC. tell the author to find the goodness in lifeD. help those who gave him a hand once7. What does the author learn from Marty?A. Everyone needs to live a hard life.B. Everyone can choose to be happy.C. Never let others affect your mood.D. plex problems can bee simple.8. What would be the best title for the text?A. The source of happinessB. The pleasure of lifeC. The importance of familyD. The meaning of kindnessCWe probably all know people, either at work or in our personal lives, who are really good listeners. No matter what kind of situat ion we’re in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we’re not offended or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions. They don’t get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI. They know themselves very well, and they’re als o able to sense the emotional needs of others.As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical ability, panies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote someone. For example, one large cosmetics pany recently revised their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates based on emotional intelligence. Theresult? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because they’re the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it gets answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and developed. Many books and tests are available to help you determine your current EI, and identify where you may need to do some work.9. According to the passage, we’re all probably impressed by people who _____.A. are ready to help othersB. are very successful in their livesC. have high emotional intelligenceD. know how to control their temper10. By mentioning the cosmetics pany, the author tries to _____.A. stress the importance of emotional intelligenceB. speak highly of its new salespeopleC. show its effective hiring systemD. explain what improvements it has made11. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_____”.A. your emotionsB. people around youC. effective relationshipsD. your opinions of others12. What’s most likely to b e discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What emotional intelligence is.B. How emotional intelligence can be improved.C. Many books on emotional intelligence.D. More people with high emotional intelligence.DLife will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a puter will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a puter thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will e to us in this way.In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don’t act now.In future, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars willhave puter s to control the speed of them and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have puters that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the puter will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.Some big panies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?13. By 2050, people will get information mainly by ________.A. watching TVB. reading newspapersC. listening to the radioD. turning to a website14. What will play the biggest part in the quality of future life?A. Medicine.B. Technology.C. Education.D. Agriculture.15. Which of the following subjects is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Entertainment.B. Travel.C. Climate.D. Health.E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。

AThomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours.

It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level.When to visitThe park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜).How to get thereThe best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.Things to seeIf you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the island’s natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are also many guided walks and hikes around the park. You must check weather conditions and volcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean.TicketsEntrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle (交通工具), $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle. Children under the age of 15 are free.26. Different from Mauna Loa, Kilauea ________.A. will disappear soonB. is closed to visitorsC. is much biggerD. erupts more often27.

Our culture has many different customs and traditions. I will discuss three of these traditions and customs.The Polish will say “Dziekuje” (“thank you”) only after receiving their change. What I mean by this is that when you are in Poland, you should wait to say “thank you” until after you hav e been given your change back. If you do not, you are telling cashiers (收银员) that they can “keep the change.”Often, people visiting Poland will feel that things are very expensive, until they learn that they are giving the store clerk permission to keep the money that would have been given back.Polish people break “bread” with their families during their Christmas Eve meal. The Christmas Eve celebration starts with the breaking of the Oplatek, which is a thin piece of “bread”. In my family, the eldest in the family (my grandfather) takes the big Oplatek and breaks it into large pieces that he then hands down to each of his four children (my aunt, uncles, and father). Then, these family members break their pieces into smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children. Once thelast piece is passed down to the youngest, we say a prayer and eat the piece of thin bread.Polish people celebrate “Imieniny”, or Name’s Day. This day is more important than one’s birthday. They often name their children after a saint (圣徒) whose day is the closest to the date that they were born on. Then their saint’s day that they were named after becomes their “new” birthday. On Name’s day, families and friends gather together and enjoy a variety of food, drinking, and dancing.As you can see, Poland has a few very unique traditions and customs. I honour my Polish culture and will pass it on to my own children because it is important to know one’s own culture.31. In Poland, if you say “Dziekuje” before getting your change, ____.A. the product will be changedB. the store clerk will keep itC. the store clerk will check the moneyD. the product will be returned to the store32.

A Polish person’s Imieniny is ______.A. a day to visit families and friendsB. more important than Name’s DayC. a day to honor a saintD. near to his or her birthday34. What does the author think of Polish traditions and customs?A. He shows no interest in them.B. He feels proud of them.C. He is worried about them.D. He considers them very funny.35. Which of the statements is NOT true?A. Children will receive their change as a Christmas present.B. Polish people often get together with their friends on Name’s Day.C. Polish people like to share the bread in an interesting way.D. Name’s Day is often celebrated by a Polish as his “new” birthday.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。
