AMr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we mus t invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party. 6.30 to 8.30 p.m.”“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8.30. Maybe it is impolite.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party. 6.30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8.30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨）.”Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.Whe n Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it?

I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already beenmy parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.Mo m seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today.I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said.The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.“Then what am I getting?” I asked.She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera —my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.25. The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Para-graph 1 means _____.A. talking oftenB. suggesting indirectlyC. sending presentsD. taking pictures26. Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?A. Her mother couldn’t un derstand her at all.B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.C. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.D. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.27. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointmentB. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for ChristmasC. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old cameraD. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Christmas gift as wishedB. Love is more important than giftsC. A wonderful Christmas.D. Love can not be boughtCPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea w hat they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things —your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According t o Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade(侵犯) our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.29. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal data.D. It provides a lot of information to its users.30. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D. They care very little about their personal information.31. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To help its users make more friends.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To make money by attracting more users.D. To offer better service to its users.32. What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Setting rules for social-networking sites.C. Stopping sharing users’ personal information.D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.DBelow is a web page from /Tonight’s TV Hot List: Sunday January 27, 2013Grammy AwardsBeyonce and Taylor Swift are ready to take home a lot of hardware tonight as they lead all artists with ten and eight nominations. The ladies also perform, along with fellow Album of the Year nominees the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and the Dave Matthews Band.

赤峰二中2015-2016学年高一上学期第一次月考考试语文试卷命题：马秀娟审核：李建忠2015-10-22注意事项：1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（阅读题）和第Ⅱ卷（表达题）两部分。

第Ⅰ卷阅读题甲必考题一、现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。

为什么真实的生活不能直接成为艺术呢为什么真实的生活不能直接成为艺术呢？这是因为，生活的真实，虽然是艺术形象结构的要素之一，但是生活的结构并不等于艺术的结构。

生活的真实与艺术的真实在根本上有统一的方面，但这种统一是矛盾的统一。

市场上一筐筐真虾，并不是艺术，而齐白石的笔下，一枚枚用水墨画出来的虾，明明是假的，却是艺术。

在战场上真刀真枪地打仗，不是艺术，没有人会买票去欣赏，但在京戏舞台上那种绝对没有死亡的可能，保证不会流血的把舞蹈和杂技结合起来的武打，却是艺术。

把反映生活、创造形象误解为按生活描红，是许多生活经验丰富的人不能进入艺术境界的最基本的原因。

闻一多在《冬夜评论》中说：“绝对的写实主义便是艺术的破产。

”简单地照搬生活的逼真场景，并不能达到艺术的真实的高度，有时反倒给人一种既不真实又不艺术的感觉。

艺术不管怎样模仿都不可能像生活本身那样生动而丰富。

车尔尼雪夫斯基说，不管多美的大理石雕像也不及彼得堡大街上的少女那么动人。

艺术如果纯粹以自己逼肖于生活作为存在的理由，它就可能在写生活的竞赛中被淘汰。

艺术的创造性使它必须突破模仿的局限。

要创造就不能满足于逼真，就不能不通过幻想和想象，就不能没有假定，就必须以想象的假定的形态来创造艺术的真实形象，达到既具认识又具娱乐功能的目的。

不假定就不自由，不在想象中自由地创造就不能引起销魂荡魄的惊异，没有艺术的魅力。

某一酒店主人为吸引顾客，暗叫一个人藏在丛林里模仿夜莺的鸣啭，十分逼真，深得顾客赞美。

ATourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past，only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries。

More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world；that is to say，people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attr active than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another。

But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own。

They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism brings many changes in a count ry and in people’s lives。

AWhen I was small and my grandmother died I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying。

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying，too。

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure （压力）is important to our emotional （情感的）health，and crying seems to do us good. A study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men reported feeling better after crying。

Besides，tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry，people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable (使能够) us to understand our emotions better；sometimes we don't even know we’re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying，and then we can deal with them。

As the father of a student, I have e_perienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their te_tbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to anyphone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years._. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.A. became the best student in his classB. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessonsD. improved his grades greatly_. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?A. She regarded the students as members of a family.B. She had special ways to help students study.C. She was good at teaching football and music.D. She usually made a quick reply to parents’ ema ils.23. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th gradeB. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolC. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenD. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green24. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. what his son studied at schoolB. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacherD. a teacher who liked playing with studentsMy husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.Holding my daughter, I tur ned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we b uy you something t o eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter.I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I s poke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” T he manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the g entleman said, loudly and quic kly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.25. From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.A. waiterB. actorC. beggarD. worker26. The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.A. the man was not f riendlyB. the man had stolen something from the restaurantC. he had fired the man beforeD. he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food27. From the passage, we can infer the man _____.A. was thankful for their kind actB. felt ashamed and slipped awayC. was hungry and ate a lot of foodD. was too proud to accept their offer28. The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. wasted my moneyB. made me very happyC. made me feel sorryD. moved me deeplyIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the ta_i drivers for e_ample. Ta_is in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of an_iety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paidaccordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the ta_i passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the e_act hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?29. While taking a ta_i in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a ta_i rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the ta_i driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying30.

By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or an_ious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For e_ample, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For e_ample, the bright child really wants to find out more about life --- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and h is own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What’s real meaning of intelligenceB. What’s the “bright” children’s behaviorC. What’s a special outlook on lifeD. How to live and behave in a new situation349. In the author’s opinion the biggest difference between “bright” children and “not bright” children lies in ____________.A. the amount of intelligenceB. the different situations they faceC. the different attitudes to lifeD. the background of life35. What might the author continue to talk about in the passage that follows?A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how an unintelligent person should be taughtC. how to judge whether a person is intelligentD. how education should be changed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共_分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
