ALast Sunday when I stood in the return line and watched people, I was extremely impatient. My daughter had got four Barbie dolls and two identical Cabbage Patch Kids on Christmas, so I was eager to return toys that she didn't need. Suddenly a strong idea came to me. I eyed the lady in front of me with three small girls on her leg. The family looked poor. The children were without coats, and they had dirty faces and hair. “You are ready to get out of here, aren't you? Give her the things you want to return,” the still voice spoke. “Give them to her? These are mine. I'm not giving her my stuff,” I argued. I swallowed the urge that threatened to escape my lips when the voice spoke again. “Give her the toys.” I was familiar with the voice.I know I couldn't argue with that voice.I sighed and tapped the lady on the shoulder. “Ma'am,” I cleared my t hroat. She looked at me with kind, tired eyes surrounded by wrinkles. “Yes?” she asked. “Would your little girls like to have these toys?” I pointed to my basket full of returns. “What?” her eyes widened as she glanced at my basket. “Would your children li ke to have them?” She was speechless, and I swore that tears were about to well up in her eyes. “You'd be doing me a favor. I can't stand in this line in a moment longer.” “You have no idea,” she shook her head. “You have no idea what that means to me.”I started loading her basket as the excited girls watched. “Merry Christmas,”I said, “God bless you.” She replied as I nodded and exited the line. I didn't want to go the Walmart that day, but I went. I didn't want to give the lady my kid's toys, but I did. Sometimes doing what we don't want to do is exactly what we're supposed to do.1. The author decided to return some of the gifts because ________.A. she wanted to get some moneyB. her daughter didn't like them at allC. all of them weren't in needD.her daughter needed money then2. When the author saw the woman and her three girls, she ________.A. gladly helped themB. hesitated about whether to help themC. pretended not to know themD. didn't want to help them3. The lady was speechless after hearing the author's words because ________.A. she was too moved to say anythingB. she was too surprised to say anythingC. she didn't believe the author at firstD. she was considering the author's words4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Poor LadyB. Holiday SpiritC. Giving HappinessD. Holiday ShoppingBCleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the world’s growing population.Hard data is still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month — about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is theworld’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.No matter how sustainable (可持续的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren’t pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.5. From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ________.A. is you mother’s best advice for youB. can solve certain problems for the worldC. can help feed hungry children all over the worldD. helps meet the growing population’s needs6. The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 mean s ________.A. userB. finderC. protectorD. producer7. What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.8. Which of the following topics will follow the text?A. More examples of food waste.B. Ways to reduce food waste.C. Experts’ idea on the environment.D. Advice for food with high prices.CWe ate on the go more than ever before. Here are three health apps that can help you better manage your health when you pursue your dreams.1. Doctors On DemandDoctors On Demand enables you to visit a doctor without ever leaving your home, helping you use a computer, tablet or smart phone to have a doctor video chat with you. The service will help you locate and connect you to licensed doctors, psychologists, pediatricians (儿科医生) and more. Fees can be paid with HAS&FSA. It costs $40 for 15 minutes with a doctor or $50 for 20 minutes with a psychologist.2. Text4babyI'm a big fan of Text4baby for a few reasons. The free service for pregnant women and new moms works by sending text messages to your smart phone three times a week with information about how to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. And the messages are timed to the pregnant woman's due date or the baby's date of birth, sending tips that are relevant to where a mother is in her pregnancy or where a baby is in stages of development. Tips range from breastfeeding to car seat safety to reminders about exercise, nutrition and more. The service combines interactive text messages, an app, video and web content in English and Spanish. Sign up by texting BABY to 511-411 or by downloading the app.3. RISERISE, an app available on iPhone(coming to Android in 2016), pairs you up with (与…绑定) a registered dietitian to improve your diet and reach health goals. You share photos of your meals and your exercise for the day with your coach, who then looks for areas where you can improve and gives advice, helps you set goals and is there to pat you on the back virtually(虚拟地) when you hit a milestone. What's also great is that you can text as much as you want with your dietitian and there is no need to go into an office. Fees for this service range from $9 per month to $50 a month. There is a free 7-day trial so you can try it out for a week to see if it's fit for you.9. How much will you pay if you have a video chat with your psychologist for an hour using Doctors On Demand?A . $50.B . $80.C . $100.D . $150.10.

It is an app available only on iPhone.B . You can sign up by texting BABY to 511-411.C . People can't use Text4baby for free.D . Text messages are sent in three languages.DAfter a year of examining many studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P. S. Elementary School decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K(学前班) through fifth grade students wouldn’t be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy.“The negative effects of homework have been well established.” Hsu wrote in a note to parents. “They include, children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning.”Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in amount in recent years.Hsu’s advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of the school. This group feels that homework gives children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework to their children.An Australian Childhood Foundation survey finds that 71% of Australian parents feel they don’t spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will givekids more independence, give parents more free time, and help reduce the number of arguments caused by homework in the family.While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other researches show homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also make working parents more tired.12. Cancelling traditional homework is aimed at ________.A. allowing students to learn on their ownB.motivating students to help with homeworkC. inspiring students to seek self-developmentD. wishing students to spend more time with parents13. What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph?A. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.B. Jane Hsu has done much research on different aspects of homework.C. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.D. Jane Hsu pays little attention to students’ academic records.14. Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu?A. They don’t think the school is responsible for their kids.B. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.C. They have no time to give their children homework.D. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.15. What is the author’s attitude to parents’ helping kids with homework?A. Negative.B. Worried.C. Supportive.D. Unconcerned.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。

2017-2018学年度下学期6月月考高一英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults(毛病)”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and m ost people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changes!1. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.2. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.3. The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”.A. self-importantB. admirableC. troublesomeD.cold-blooded4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.BApple SeedsCirculation : 1 Year, 9 Issues（发行，版权）Cover Price: MYM 44.55Price For You: MYM 33.95Product Description: Apple seeds is an award winning magazine filled with stories for kids aged from 7 to 9.

News ChinaCReality TV（真人秀） show has been accused of making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of the show could be good for children.Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids’ health knowledge, attitudes and behavi or. She said programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I don’t want to grow up like that’.”The research was part of Ms Hawkins’ paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, aged from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We’re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.“ Earlier studies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ”The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey We’re Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their family’s habits. Ms Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents’ duty to lead by example.9. What does Hawkins find about reality TV show?A. It may teach kids much scientific knowledge.B. Some shows may have kids develop ill habits.C. It may draw kids’ attention away from studies.D. Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.10. What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?A. Doing interviews.B. Performing experiments.C. Studying science reports.D. Comparing earlier studies.11. How do most students get information on health?A. From TV shows.B. From news reports.C. From television ads.D. From health experts.12. According to the children, which may have a great influence on their health behavior?A. School.B. Family.C. Friends.D. Scientific research.DOne May morning, 10-year-old Khadab played in the ruins of a school near his home in northern Iraq. He saw something that looked interesting. It was yellow and plas-tic and looked like a ball. He reached for his new toy and, BANG!The last thing he remembered was a big noise. When Khadab awoke, he was in hospital. His parents stood sadly by his side. They told him he had picked up an unexploded bomb. When it exploded, Khadab lost an arm.He was just one of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been injured or killed by stepping on and picking up explosives left over from the war.These landmines (地雷) and bombs have injured and killed at least 15 people a day since Saddam Hussein's government fell on April 9. And children are the most af-fected.Iraq is among the worst landmine-affected countries in the world. Many villages in the war-torn areas are surrounded by minefields (雷区). These landmines lie on the ground between rocks, up in trees and on riverbeds.Even though the war in Iraq is over, many children have not returned to school. They can be seen walking the streets with the natural curiosity of young kids. Their new playgrounds are places where the fighting took place. Many boys can be seen playing with unexploded bombs. A new game is to throw the bombs and run away. Some of them get away, but too many are killed. They do this for fun, and don't realize the dangers until it’s too late.UNICEF (联合国教科文组织) has wa rned children, through the TV, of the dangersof landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq. They hope to make children aware of the dangers they face.“I can’t imagine there’s going to be a classroom in the north without scared chil dren in it. It’s so widespread,” said Sean Sutton of the British-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG).MAG is an organization working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas.It is difficult to report the exact number of deaths. Sutton said MAG found 320 injuries in northern Iraq in the first month after April 9. But he said the real figure was probably much higher.13. What Khadab saw was exactly _______A. a ballB. a toyC. an unexploded bombD. a plastic ball14. What measures have been taken to remove the dangers of explosives left over?A. MAG has been working to clear unexploded bombs and land mines in war-torn areas.B. UNICEF has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq.C. Children have all returned to school.D. Both A and B15. What’s best title for the text?A. Iraq after the warB. MAG helps Iraq remove the landminesC. Kids play with deathD.

2018-2019学年黑龙江省高二下学期第一次月考英语试题第I卷选择题（共70分）I.第一节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOn the evening of June 21, 1992, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes entered the beautiful hall of the Bell Tower Hotel in Xi’an with his bicycle. The hotel workers received him and telephoned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel ball before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles.”Robert Friedla nder, an American, arrived in Xi’an on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Delhi, India.When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo and made up his mind to visit the Silk Road. Now, after 44 years , he was on the Silk Road in Xi’an and his early dreams were coming true.Robert Friedlander’s next destinations (目的地) were Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumqi, etc. He will complete his trip in Pakistan.1. The best headline(标题) for this newspaper article would be ______. .A. The Kingdom of BicyclesB. A Beautiful Hotel in Xi’anC. Marco Polo and the Silk RoadD. An American Achieving His Aims2. . Friedlander is visiting the three countries in the following order, ______. .A. China, India, and PakistanB. India, China, and PakistanC. Pakistan, China, and IndiaD. China, Pakistan, and India3 What made Friedlander want to come to China?A. The stories about Marco Polo .B. The famous sights in Xi’an .C. His interest in Chinese silk.D. His childhood dreams about bicycles .4. Friedlander can be said to be ______. .A. cleverB. friendlyC. hardworkingD. strong—mindedBCan trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?5. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A. are lying on the groundB. have an unpleasant tasteC. bees don’t likeD. have an unfamiliar shape6. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A. growing more branchesB. communicating with birds and beesC. changing its leaf chemistryD. shaking caterpillars off7. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.A. waving its branchesB. giving off a special smellC. dropping its leavesD. changing the colour of its trunk8. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.A. making special movementB. touching one anotherC. smelling one anotherD. making unusual soundCWe use passwords(密码)to keep our personal information secret and safe, but some passwords we use may not be as reliable as we think.Splash Data, a computer security company, recently released a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2011.This list is based on the research of hackers’ files containing stolen passwords. According to the list, “password” is the worst and most common password. Many others on the list are numbers in order either forward (for example,1234) or backward. Letters on the keyboard in order,such as “qwerty” are also ccommon, as well as some first names and animals. “Hackers can easily break into many accounts(账户) just by trying common passwords again and again, ” said Morgan Slain, CEO of Splash Data.How can you make a strong password? It should be eight characters or more, with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. One way to create a long and easy-to-remember password is to separate short words with spaces or numbers. Having safe passwords is necessary for surfing the Internet safely. But it’s not the only thing you must do to keep safety online. Here are som e other web safety tips:●Never give out information that will allow someone to find you offline. That includes your full name, address and phone number.●Don’t include your real name as part of your online screen name.●Never meet people you met on the Internet in person. If you insist on breaking this rule, meet in a very public place and consider taking an adult with you.Top 10 worst passwords: 1.password 2. 123456 3. 12345678 4. qwerty5. abc1236. monkey7. 12345678. letmein9.trustno1 10. dragon9. What is “Splash Data”?A. A company.B. A TV station.C. A scientist.D. An American.10. Which is the worst and most common password?A. abc123.B. monkey.C. password.D. 123456.11. You can’t put your ______ on the Internet.A. addressB. phone numberC. nameD. A,B and CDGood afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.Thirdly crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of he road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings (人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.Now, are there any questions?12.

I decided to take a walk even though I didn't know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, "Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?" That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, "I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform." The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform."Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, "Thank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!" As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity!

Even though one has little, he should try to help others.C“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money­making things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug，FDA (Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.8．It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are ________. A．optimistic B．costly C．unreliable D．illegal9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?________A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B．New products are more likely to be questionable.C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D．The promoters usually just care about profits.10．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as ________.A．a product which was designed to produce electricityB．a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC．a successful advertisement of a beauty productD．an example of a quality beauty product11．The author intends to ________.A．make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB．show the weakness of the law on product safetyC．give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD．introduce the organization of FDADDriverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self-sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency.One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has designedto build an autonomous ship expected to launch next year. The ship is fully electricto reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry containers normally transported by truck. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year.Yara plans to operate the ships by remote control beginning sometime next year.By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. Another company focusingon self-sailing sh ips is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoke about the technology. He said, “I believe automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future.” Autonomous ships offer important chances to improve safety and provide better efficiency outcomes to the marine supply chain.”He added that self-sailing ships could become a reality within the next decade.Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Oskar Levander is the company’s head of marine operations. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when.”Several shipping companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to developself-sailing ships expected to be used by 2025. These ships will be equipped with technology to collect weather and sea data. They will then use the data to plan outthe safest, shortest and most fuel-efficient route.12. What advantages does the driverless ship have according to the passage?_____A. Environmental friendly.B. Without noise.C. Low cost.D. Having stronger ship body.13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. Australia’s BHP Billiton is the world’s largest ship company._______B. The ships will work almost automatically by 2020.C. Bhatti isn’t sure of the future of driverless ship.D. Self-sailing ships will be used in a couple of years.14. What attitude does Oskar Levander have to the new driverless ship?________A. Unsure.B. Doubtful.C. Sure.D. Objective.15. Where is probably the passage taken from?______A. A physics textbook.B. A travel booklet.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.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。

Tuesdays.C. At 9:30 p.m. Wednesdays.D. At 10:30 p.m. SundaysBAs your teacher passes out the math test, your hands turn sweaty. Your heart begins to race. Glancing down at the page, you suddenly forget those operations on which you drilled only a few days earlier. What’s the multiplication table? Oh, you know it—well you’re pretty sure, right? Suddenl y, you start to doubt a lot of things that you “know”.If that sounds familiar, you might suffer from math anxiety. Or maybe not. Even researchers who study this condition note that it can be surprisingly hard to define(下定义) math anxiety. It’s also hard to identify precisely how many people suffer from it.To diagnose(诊断) math anxiety, researchers design questionnaires, asking things like: “How anxious would you feel about being given a set of division problems to solve on paper?” Those who score high on th ese surveys will be labeled math-anxious. But the exact part will fluctuate, depending on where the line defined as high is drawn by the researchers.In general, people who panic over their math skills tend to do worse in math classes than people who don’t mind numbers. But that’s not always true. “Just because you’re math-anxious, that doesn’t always mean you’re bad at math,” notesRose Vukovic, an educational psychologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.Math anxiety affects people of all ag es. Its effects don’t end at graduation. Throughout life, this type of stress can stand in the way of mastering skills or projects in a host of areas that rely on computations.The good news is that the problem is manageable. Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Compares it to public speaking. Many people get anxious before giving speech or performing. “You can respond to that positively and use that,” he says, “or you can go the other way.” The most important is whether you can see that stress as a positive challenge to overcome.6. How does the author introduce the topic?A. By offering a definition.B. By using study results.C. By describing a possible situationD. By asking questions.7. What doe s the underlined word “fluctuate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Vary.B. Be denied.C. Matter.D. Be awarded.8. What does Rose Vukovic think of math anxiety?A. It can disappear with graduation.B. It can result in depression over time.C. It won’t caus e people trouble in other areas.D. It doesn’t always lead to poor math grades.9. We can learn what people the math anxiety will affect from ________.A. paragraph 1B. paragraph 2C. paragraph 4D. paragraph 510. What does Ian Lyons suggest people with math anxiety do?A. Do more math exercises.B. Consult psychologists.C. Face it confidently.D. Give speeches to relieve it.CRound and Round They GoSpace is becoming more crowded. On December 3, a Falcon 9 rocket made by SpaceX thundered into the sky. On board were 64 small satellites, more than any American company had launched before in one go. They have a variety of uses, from space-based- radar to the monitoring of radio-frequency- emissions.These objects are part of the latest breed of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. This launch is just taste of what is planned. SpaceX and OneWeb, a communications firm, plan to launch satellites in their thousands, not hundreds. The pair are set to double the total number of satellites in orbit by 2027.That promises to change things dramatically on Earth. LEO satellites can bring internet connectivity to places where it is still unavailable or unaffordable. Thiswill also be a lasting source of new demand for the space economy. Morgan Stanley, a bank, projects that the space industry will grow from $350 billion in 2016 to more than $1. I trillion by 2040. New internet satellites will account for a half this increase.For that to happen, however, three worries must be overcome. Debris(碎片)is the most familiar concern. As long ago as 1978, Donald Kessler, a scientist at NASA, proposed situation in which, when enough satellites were packed into low-Earth orbits, any collision could cause a chain reaction which would eventually destroy all space craft in its orbital plane(平面). The syndrome which bears Mr. Kessler's name weighs heavily on the minds of executives at the new satellite firms. Debris could cause entire tracts(广阔的一片) of space to be unusable for decades.Solutions exist. One is to grab malfunction satellites and pull them down into Earth's atmosphere. Another is to monitor space more intensively for debris; a US Air Force programme called Space Fence is due to start in 2019. But technology is only part of the answer. Rules are needed to govern the safe disposal(清除) of old satellites from low-Earth orbit. The United States' Federal Communications Commission is revising its regulations with this in mind. Other countries should follow suit.Cyber-security is a second, long-standing worry. Hackers could take control of a satellite and seal intellectual property, redirect data flows or cause a collision. The satellite industry has been slow to respond to such concerns. But as more of the world's population comes to rely on the infrastructure of space for access to the internet, the need for action intensifies.The third issue follows from the first two. If a simple mistake or a cyber-attack can cause a chain reaction which wipes out hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, who is liable? Underwriters(保险商) are studying the plans of firms that wish to operate large numbers of satellites. But there is a long way to go before the risks are well understood, let alone priced.As space becomes more commercialized mind-bending prospects open up: packages moved across the planet in minutes by rocket rather than by plane, equipment sent to other small planets, passengers launched into orbit and beyond. All that and more may come, one day. But such activities would raise the same questions as LEO satellites do. They must be answered before the space economy can truly develop.11. What can we learn about LEO satellites from the passage?A. They are supposed to limit the space economy.B. They are expected to increase in large numbers.C. They are designed to move beyond the Earth as far as possible.D. They are mainly intended to bring internet connectivity to remote areas.12. To deal with debris in space, the author suggests_____.A. depending entirely on the modern technologyB. monitoring the movement of spaceships carefullyC. strengthening rules to remove old satellites safelyD. destroying all the satellites with problems instantly13. What does the underlined word “intensify” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Measure.B. Increase.C. Spread.D. Repeat.14. Which of the following can be classified as the third worry?A. Lack of satellite regulations.B. Loss of intellectual property.C. Crisis of confidence in the field.D. Slow response of satellite industry.15. What is the author's attitude toward the launch of LEO satellites?A. It should be further confirmed for its ownership.B. It should be continued because of its advantages.C. It should be done carefully to avoid potential risks.D. It should be stopped in face of the space economy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 共10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最佳选项。

黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市第八中学2017-2018学年高二3月月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（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（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

AI was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A bro ken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy… I am so sorry…”“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goo dnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or theycan heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.1.The author was in bad mood that morning because _______.A. his father had a terrible accidentB. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends.C. his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinemaD. his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends2. Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A. Because he didn’t go along with his father.B. Because he was rude to his father that morning.C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.D. Because he couldn’t look afte r his father in the hospital.3. The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _____.A. he had a poor memoryB. he didn’t hear what his son saidC. he just wanted to comfort his sonD. he lost his memory after the accident4. What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A. Don’t treat your parents badly.B. Don’t hurt others with rude words.C. Don’t move the injured in an accident.D. Don’t be angry with friends at small thi ngs.BSure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people you’ll meet throughout your life.But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do," learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand newmaterial and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school matters, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful period in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s givin g you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place---to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive (敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.5. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relationship with teachersC. how much the students are expected to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant6. “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.CSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands tomachines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts."Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says."Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮)and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands."The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair."He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.8. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.9. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair10. The team will test with real patients to .A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings about How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesDThink about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.12.From the text we know that windmills .A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered13. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.14. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that .A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs15. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantage of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.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。

2017-2018学年度下学期6月月考高一英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults(毛病)”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and mo st people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changes!1. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.2. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.3. The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”.A. self-importantB. admirableC. troublesomeD. cold-blooded4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.BApple SeedsCirculation : 1 Year, 9 Issues（发行，版权）Cover Price: MYM 44.55Price For You: MYM 33.95Product Description: Apple seeds is an award winning magazine filled with stories for kids aged from 7 to 9.

News ChinaCReality TV（真人秀）show has been accused of making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of the show could be good for children.Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids’ health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She s aid programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I don’t want to grow up like that’.”The research was part of Ms Hawkins’ paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, aged from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We’re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.“ Earlier s tudies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ”The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior.

Scientific research.DOne May morning, 10-year-old Khadab played in the ruins of a school near his home in northern Iraq. He saw something that looked interesting. It was yellow and plastic and looked like a ball. He reached for his new toy and, BANG!The last thing he remembered was a big noise. When Khadab awoke, he was in hospital. His parents stood sadly by his side. They told him he had picked up an unex-ploded bomb. When it exploded, Khadab lost an arm.He was just one of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been injured or killed by stepping on and picking up explosives left over from the war.These landmines (地雷) and bombs have injured and killed at least 15 people a day since Saddam Hussein's government fell on April 9. And children are the most af-fected.Iraq is among the worst landmine-affected countries in the world. Many villages in the war-torn areas are surrounded by minefields (雷区). These landmines lie on the ground between rocks, up in trees and on riverbeds.Even though the war in Iraq is over, many children have not returned to school. They can be seen walking the streets with the natural curiosity of young kids. Their new playgrounds are places where the fighting took place. Many boys can be seen playing with unexploded bombs. A new game is to throw the bombs and run away. Some of them get away, but too many are killed. They do this for fun, and don't realize the dangers until it’s too late.UNICEF (联合国教科文组织) has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq. They hope to make children aware of the dangers they face.“I can’t imagine there’s going to be a classroom in the north without scared children in it. It’s so widespread,” said Sean Sutton of the British-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG).MAG is an organization working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas.It is difficult to report the exact number of deaths. Sutton said MAG found 320 injuries in northern Iraq in the first month after April 9. But he said the real figure was probably much higher.13. What Khadab saw was exactly _______A. a ballB. a toyC. an unexploded bombD. a plastic ball14. What measures have been taken to remove the dangers of explosives left over?A. MAG has been working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas.B. UNICEF has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq.C. Children have all returned to school.D. Both A and B15. What’s best title for the text?A. Iraq after the warB. MAG helps Iraq remove the landminesC. Kids play with deathD.

黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市八中2019-2020学年高二英语12月月考试题第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWell, I do quite a lot of sport actually. I go swimming twice a week—there's a very good pool just around the corner from my office. I swim for an hour. I also cycle to work when I can. Besides that, I do a lot of reading and photography.—Br ennanI used to go snowboarding(滑雪) quite often in the winter, but I haven't been for a long time, although I might go this year with some friends. These days, I go cycling when I can. At the weekend, I like to cook and invite friends for dinner.—Da isyI don't have a lot of time to myself because I have two young children. So, a lot of my free time is used to take my kids to their activities. For example, on Saturday morning, I have to take my son to his basketball games and my daughter to football practice, and then I have to ship them off to parties or friends' houses. Two or three times a month, my wife and I go for a meal with friends. And once a month, we go to the cinema while my parents look after the kids.—Cl arkI have tennis lessons with a group of friends at the weekend. There are eight of us: four mums and dads, and four kids. The idea was that the lessons would give us parents a chance to do something sporty with our children. The teacher is really good and we all have a fantastic time. Best of all, after an hour of tennis the kids go off to play, and we can have a drink and a chat.—Li nda1. What do Brennan and Daisy have in common?A. They both like cycling.B. They both like cooking.C. They have the same friends.D. They take the same gym class.2. On Saturday morning, Clark's daughter .A. goes snowboardingB. plays basketballC. goes swimmingD. plays football3. This text is mainly about what people do .A. in their jobsB. in their free timeC. in the winterD. in their own homesBThe trouble with school is that you can't choose the people you get to see every day. If you're unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don't really "get" you, you've just got to try to make the best of it.But that doesn't mean you need to "fit in", or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won't help you make friends. It'll just make you feel like a fake.You also shouldn't shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn't like you. If you do that, you'll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you've got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you.A couple of them will stay the same, and you're allowed to forget about them. If you feel like you're doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don't give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don't find anyone right away, you'll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that's always a good thing.A fun book called UNCOOL, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:● Throw caution to the wind.● Don't tolerate others' mistakes.● Have patience with people who are different from you.● Don't change just because someone else thinks you should.● Know that even though you may be a misfit(不适应环境的人), there's always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.4. According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don't appreciate you?A. Just give up.B. Ask someone else for help.C. Show positive attitude toward them.D. Try your best to fit in with them.5. The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to .A. get more chances of making friendsB. lay a better foundation for your future jobsC. transform yourself into a cloneD. make you feel like a fake6. In the book UNCOOL, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should .A. always be kind to your friendsB. keep your own personalityC. stand others' mistakesD. help improve characters of others7. This passage was written mainly for .A. doctorsB. scientistsC. studentsD. teachersC“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?8. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？A. She knows little about the club.B. She isn't good at sports.C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.D. She's unable to meet her schedule.9. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Encourage team work.B. Provide advice.C. Promote good deeds.D. Appeal to feelings.10. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A. She gets interested in lacrosse.B. She becomes a good helper.C. She’ll work for another season.D. She is proud of her kids.11. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A. It makes her very happy.B. It gives her a sense of duty.C. It enables her to work hard.D. It brings her material rewards.DMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously(满怀嫉妒地). Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He won’t find out,” Mark said. “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warni ng only seized to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen: ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1:…VOYAGER 2:…Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE(恢复) DATE: 2035.”12. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?A. He wanted to take a voyage.B. He wanted to practice his skill.C. He was so much attracted by it.D. He was eager to do an experiment.13. Where did the boys' father most likely work?A. In an electronic factory.B. In a computer company.C. In a scientific research center.D. In an information processing center.14. Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?A. He was afraid of being scolded.B. He didn't like the loud noise and light.C. He didn't want to play games any more.D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen.15. What happened to the boys at the end of the story?A. They were blown into the air.B. They were sent to another planet.C. They were hidden in the strong light.D. They were carried away to another country.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。

2018——2019学年度上学期期末考试高二英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分。

）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AThe first day of school our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I turned around to find a wrinkled(有皱纹的) old lady. She said, “ Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “ Of course you may!”, and she gave me a giant squeeze. “ Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“ I always dreamed of having a college education and now I am getting one!” she told me. After class we shared a chocolate milk shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk non-stop. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet(宴会). I’ll never forget what she taught us. She cleared her throat and began, “ we do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn 88. anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change and have no regrets.”At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2000 college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.

Memory of College LifeC. We All Grow OlderD. Never Too Late to DreamBApril 15th marks the 102nd anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The 11-storey ship was not just very large, but also unusually luxurious (豪华). It is therefore not surprising that the sinking of the Titanic continues to attract the interest of people of all ages, even today.Over the years, there have been many books about this tragedy. However, very few have been written from the perspective (视角) of the young passengers. This is why I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis is fun and different. The author uses facts from the real tragedy and makes up a heart-stopping adventure story starring a smart and brave boy George Calder. After spending an exciting vacation in England with their Aunt Daisy, ten-year-old Gorge and his little sister Phoebe, were heading home to America, aboard the greatest ship on earth, the Titanic!Then on the night of April 14th, the first sign of disaster appeared---the luxury ship hit a huge iceberg. But given that everybody in the world knew that the Titanic was unsinkable, there was very little cause for panic. They were all confident that the ship's engineers would be able to repair the "slight" damage that had been caused by the iceberg.This, of course, turned out to be untrue. Within a few hours the Titanic was not only sinking, butfaster than most people had time to react. Added to this was the fact that there were not enough lifeboats to take all the passengers to shore. If that was not enough, when the emergency call to get on the deck came, Gorge realized that his sister Phoebe was missing.Will George be able to find his sister and help her get to shore? To find out, be sure to read I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912.5. Who is the main character of I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912?A. Lauren TarshisB. DaisyC. George CalderD. Phoebe6. What can be learnt about the book?A. it attracts people of all agesB. it tells an adventure storyC. it was finished in 1912 in AmericaD. it was written by a young passenger7.

Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺）taken out by computers．Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape．Keep shoulders back．Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门）is clicked for full eyes．Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days．9．If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______．A．below you B．above you C．directly at you D．right behind you10．According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______．A．light B．shadow C．anglesD．photographers11．What advice does the author give on taking photos?A．Raise legs on the wall．B．Look down．C．Keep shoulders back．D．Put a penny between lips．DAmerican LaMar Baylor spends most of his time in New York City, working as a performer in the Broadway musical —The Lion King.

About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid. All the students are male, because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company, founded and directed by Rebecca Davis.

AGetting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over the shoulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had already left.“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.“I am sorry I forgot,” he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you leave. But you are everything to your children.1．The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.A． go to school on time B． go to a meeting on timeC． get a goodbye kiss D． say goodbye to her father2．How did the girl probably feel after she cut the call?A． Frightened. B． Disappointed. C． Worried. D． Angry.3．The passage is meant to suggest that parents ________.A．put their children firstB． pay less attention to workC． work hard to support the familyD． keep a balance between work and familyBAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons redu ce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggest s that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.。

Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done by insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding(守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents,”the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance (保险)companies focus onwhat classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims(索赔), and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming(where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D.C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,9000 male drivers died in U.S. traffic accident in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,”according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs. 1.7 deaths for women.”4. According to the study, male drivers __________.A. are less aggressive while drivingB. are more skilled at auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are less familiar with safety equipment5. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients(客户) probably because they__________.A. cause more accidents on the road but ask for littleB. cause little damage and pay more money to the insurance companiesC. are more careful drivers and cause less damageD. make up the most part of the insurance clients6. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than womenB. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insuranceC. more female drivers die every year than male driversD. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite sex7. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by __________.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argumentCModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Except the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’history.8.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Development of RobotsB. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space ExplorationD. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B. It is dangerous for. humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.10.The underlined word “withstand”most probably means “______”A. remainB. bearC. defeatD. develop11.What is the writers attitude in this passage?A. Negative.B. Pessimistic.C. Subjective.D. Objective.DCharlie is a teacher and his wife, Maria is an artist. The night before last, just before the longest day of the year, Charlie was sitting in a deckchair enjoying the warm summer air when Maria touched his shoulder and he could tell immediately she was a little worried about something. He asked her what the matter was and she replied that there was a strange thing on the jacket that was hanging in the bedroom. They had both lived in the West Indies (西印度群岛) and had seen a lot of strange creatures in their house before. But now they were living in England and so Charlie just laughed and said he would have a look at the “thing”.He walked to the bedroom. He saw a jacket hanging in the bedroom and went up to it to have a closer look at the “thing”. The moment he touched it, the thing sprang into life. Now Charlie experiences fear like the rest of us but when this creature opened its wings, he jumped out of his skin and ran screaming from the room like a small child doing about 100 miles an hour.For a moment the next-door neighbours thought that Charlie was murdering his wife because of the noise they could hear. In fact, it was a bat that frightened Charlie.Eventually Charlie managed to trap the bat in a box and took it to the garden to letthe bat fly. Maria, who had been playing the guitar while Charlie was upstairs, asked Charlie if he had found out what the thing was. “Oh, nothing to worry about”, he said casually hoping that the terror could not be seen in his eyes, “it was just a bat.”12. Why was Maria a little worried one night?A. Because she couldn't find her guitar.B. Because she saw something strange.C. Because it was too hot for her.D. Because she had quarreled with her husband.13. The underlined part “jumped out of his skin”in the second paragraph probably means ____.A. stood upB. was very frightenedC. threw off his clothesD. was very excited14. What happened to the bat?A. It was killed by Charlie.B. It was badly wounded.C. It was set free by Charlie.D. It was kept as a pet.15. It can be inferred that ________.A. Charlie was afraid that his wife would laugh at him if she knew the truthB. the neighbours would report to the police about Charlie murdering the batC. the bat wouldn't come to Charlie's room again because it was frightenedD. Maria heard her husband screaming downstairs and became frightened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。

Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the shade of taller trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating(迁徙) birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers(化肥) and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade grown” and “bird friendly.” Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we’re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it’s worth it.4.Which opinion does the author probably agree with?A. People should buy full-sun coffee.B. Shade-grown coffee should be supported.C. Farmers should change the places to grow coffee.D. Pesticides should be forbidden in coffee planting.5. Compared with the traditional method, what advantage does the full-sun method have?A. It can prote ct the ecosystem.B. It can promote people’s health.C. It can provide more nests for birds.D. It can increase the production of coffee.6. How do farmers get more land to grow full-sun coffee?A. They buy more land from other farmers.B. They move to other countries.C. They cut down trees.D. They turn grassland into farmland.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why plant Full- Sun coffee?B. Why buy Shade-Grown coffee?C. How does Shade-Grown coffee affect the health?D. How does Full-Sun coffee damage the ecosystem?CMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stayclose to home; on the other hand， if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable.For those of you who consider yourself a “people_person” and want a wide range of activities, a large col lege is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision­making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially (至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above­average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.8．When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.A．financial situation is the first to considerB．students are unwilling to leave their homeC．students will become homesickD．students are eager to attend their ideal university 9．What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A．Students can be independent at college.B．A long distance will make students upset.C．The location of the college is a main factor.D．The climate must be taken into consideration.10．What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?A．A person of great capacity. B．A very particular person.C．A very sociable person. D．A person of great importance.11．Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?A．The location of a college. B．The examination result.C．School size. D．The coming challenges.DWeyland's Ice Cream Shop has been a favorite of my children and grandchildren for almost 30 years. We have never had a bad experience at Weyland's —the ice cream and the customer service have always been first­rate. We love it that we can enjoya treat while also supporting a local business. Furthermore, we sincerely appreciate the way Marcus Weyland gives back to the community by always giving 50% of his Friday night profits to the Metroville Animal Shelter.I was shocked and saddened to hear the city of Metroville is determined to force Mr.Weyland out of business so that they can turn the ice cream shop into a parking deck (停车场)．By announcing that the parking deck will be “for the use of the public”，the city has the right to buy Mr.Weyland's shop as long as they pay him “fair market value”．The amount of money that the government will give Mr.Weyland is only what his building is worth now. They are not compensating (赔偿) him for the money it will cost to open a new shop in another location. They are not compensating him for the money he will lose as he moves his business. Moreover, the city will do nothing to help the shop's five employees who will now be out of work.The city says that the parking deck will be in the public's best interest, but what good will another parking deck do for the city? Downtown Metroville already has three parking decks, and they are never full. On the other hand, Weyland's is a family­run business that employs local citizens and gives back to the community. How can a parking deck be better for the public than Weyland's Ice Cream Shop?Metroville's citizens deserve to keep their beloved ice cream shop. More importantly, Marcus Weyland deserves better treatment from the city of Metroville.12.What do we know about Weyland's Ice Cream Shop?A．It enjoys a good name.B．It employs family members only.C．It doesn't make money on Friday nights.D．It will be out of business for lack of customers.13．What can we learn from the text?A．Mr.Weyland asks too much for moving his business.B．Metroville is in bad need of another parking deck.C．The government doesn't value local businesses.D．The government doesn't pay Mr.Weyland fairly.14．Wh at does the underlined part “in the public's best interest” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．To the public's biggest advantage. B．Bringing money for the public. C．Causing great public concern. D．In the public's demand.15．For what purpose is the text written?A．To stress the importance of an ice cream shop.B．To argue against building a new parking deck.C．To accuse the government of closing an ice cream shop.D．To persuade the government to care more about the public.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。

黑龙江省齐齐哈尔第八中学2018-2019学年高一英语9月月考试题第一部分：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A、B、C、四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AIn every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场）Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No" Make your own judge. If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, please have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.1 . The writer disagree to wear red sweaters if ___ .A. the crowd is wearing themB. you can't afford themC. you don't look good in redD. your parents disapprove2.The writer encourages the readers to ___.A. be independentB. take the advice of their eldersC. obey their parentsD. follow the crowd3.People who blindly follow the "top" crowd __ .A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. will lose friendsC. will make themselves happyD. finally become pace-setters (领跑者) in their own right4. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the LeaderB. The "Top" Crowd.C. On Being Yourself.D. Rules for Teens.BMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encouragebad eating habits.5.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A. Those who often take exercise.B. Those who often watch television.C. Those who often have meals at home.D. Those who often walk to school.6.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because___ .A.their parents often cook meals for themB. they are too busy to go out and playC. they can't choose what to eatD. there are too many fast food shops around7.The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probably means ___.A. forceB. guideC. divideD. cover8.The main purpose of the text is to ___.A. tell a storyB. provide factsC. give adviceD. compare opinionsCNowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. "Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents," the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them upon one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest, advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D. C, where their insurance costs are 16% lower."More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers" according to the study. "Based on miles traveled,men died at a rate of 2. 5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs. 1.7 deaths for women. "9. According to the study, female drivers _____.A. are more aggressive while drivingB. are more interested in auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are more familiar with safety equipment10. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they_____.A. cause more accidents on the roadB. pay more money to the insurance companiesC. take the most part of the insurance clientsD. have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims11. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by_____.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argumentDFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside, may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building—green plants.Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant's leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.12. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because________.A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsC. the man-made building materials give off dangerous gases inside housesD. the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful13. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _____.A. every old houseB. every modern houseC. all kinds of housesD. all kinds of offices14. The indoor air pollution is caused by ____.A. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowB. the building way that the builders want to save energyC. the building things that are made of man-made materialsD. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside15. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ____.A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB. plants may take in more oxygen which people needC. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthyD. plants can absorb different kinds of harmful indoor chemicals第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

黑龙江省2018-2019学年高二下学期第三次月考英语试卷第I卷选择题（共70分）I.第一节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A,B,C,D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AFluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. In addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. It usually includes things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage. This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.Culture is like an iceberg（冰山）. Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don’t see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.When you meet someone from another culture，certain culture differences are easy to see: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent(口音). You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You notice new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing as a way of saying hello. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture affects much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture includes getting to know the hidden part of culture.1．What’s the subject of this passage?A. Learning about culture.B. Language learning.C. The hidden part of the iceberg.D. Fluency in another language.2．What is learning about culture?A. Learning the hidden part of the iceberg, which is underwater.B. Learning everyday activities and some basic customs.C. Learning the culture of an iceberg.D. Learning the visible as well as the hidden differences of culture.3．The underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “______”.A. is compared withB. is made up ofC. agrees withD. is different from4．What conclusion can we draw after reading this passage?A. Values and beliefs are like the top of the iceberg.B. People are often clear about the hidden part of culture.C. The top of the iceberg is larger than the hidden part.D. The hidden part of culture has a great effect on people’s communication styles.BCamping is one of the most popular forms of outdoor activities. Now, most people are under too much pressure and like going outdoors to relax. Other activities like hunting and fishing，are often connected with camping trips.It’s also a good idea to spend time camping with your family during a holiday. That will help you create some of the best memories with the family. Here are some things you have to consider while planning your camping trip.The first thing that you need to think about is deciding the camping destination. For most people who like camping, the best place to choose is the spot that they haven’t visited before. As soon as you get to your destination, there will be a lot you will have to do, such as putting up your tent. Of course, food is another necessary factor to be considered. You’d better carry some convenient food like biscuits, nuts and boiled eggs.When all the things are done, fun activities should be planned. It’s a good chance for you to spend time with your family. Lots of open space is perfect when you want to do something as simple as letting your kids ride their bicycles. If your kids are old enough, activities like fishing and horse-riding are also good to choose. These are a few ideas about having fun camping. Once you get ready for it, you don’t need to worry about anything. Go ahead and be a happy camper.5．What do people go camping for according to the passage?A. For travelingB. For fishingC. For learningD. For relaxing6．Which place is the best place to camp according to the writer?A. place where the weather is warm.B. place where the things are cheap.C. place that you’ve ever visited.D. place that you’ve never visited.7．Which is true according to the passage?A. It’s good to cook by yourself while campingB. It’s a good idea to carry some convenient food.C. Fishing is a good activity for kids.D. Camping isn’t good for kids.8．Where can you do outdoor activities according to the passage?A. On the playgroundB. In the forestC. On the open spaceD. By the sea.CThere have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society. 9．According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ________.A．most of the children behave badly in their daily lifeB．they have changed their attitudes towards their childrenC．physical punishment is the only effective way to educate their children D．they are free to use physical punishment on their children10．Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because ________.A．they are disappointed with their childrenB．they don’t want to hurt their children badlyC．they were brought up just in the same wayD．they don’t know what to do with their children11．The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________. A．most people are used to wearing seat beltsB．people won’t change their old habits unless forcedC．seat belts are really very necessary and usefulD．it’s not difficult to change some negative habits12．The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.A．talk about a ban on using physical punishmentB．tell us we should educate our children in other waysC．advise parents to give up using physical punishmentD．suggest physical punishment should be used at homeDFor teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.13．When you sit beside the driver, you’d better ________.A．look ahead to see where there is a gas stationB．move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableC．keep looking at the map to find another place to go toD．direct the driver when necessary14．In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?A．To share the fun with him/her in exploration.B．To tell him/her what’s going on with group members.C．To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost.D．To show them how fast you can go.15．What does the whole passage talk about?A．The fun of exploration.B．What to bring for exploration.C．How to prevent people getting lost in exploration.D．The way to use a map in exploration.E第二节七选五根据内容, 从对话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。

AA sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads．Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it．When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometres an hour.

Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully．Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school．So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it．The letter “P”means “Parking”. At some places, there’re the signs “No parking””or “No waiting”.

I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting!

Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But th e change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持). I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it for good.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and fee l like I’m 25 again.

I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as a head teacher, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences (缺席).” Before he could say another word I choked up (哽咽). And said sadly, “I love my son. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The head teacher seriously sai d, “Thank you for your time.”Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I took part in a parent-teacher meeting. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the head teacher last year?” I nodded. “That was me.

AGetting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over the shoulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had already left.“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.“I am sorry I forgot,” he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you leave. But you are everything to your children.1．The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.A． go to school on time B． go to a meeting on timeC． get a goodbye kiss D． say goodbye to her father2．How did the girl probably feel after she cut the call?A． Frightened. B． Disappointed. C． Worried. D． Angry.3．The passage is meant to suggest that parents ________.A．put their children firstB． pay less attention to workC． work hard to support the familyD． keep a balance between work and familyBAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons redu ce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggest s that sons pass on parent care giving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.4. According to the passage，what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?A．Education. B．Gender. Career. D．Income.5．The US study finds that ________.A．having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsB．sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageC．sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parentsD．sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters6．What does the author stress in the last paragraph?A．People should give up their job to care for the elderly.B．Many care providers work longer hours than others.C．Many care providers have potential health problems.D．People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.7．The author develops the text by ________.A．explaining social networks of careers B．describing people’s experiencesC．comparing different gender behavior D．analyzing various researches and dataCI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate ca me into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.8.What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldn’t find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.9.The author tidied up the room most probably because______.A. she was scared by Kate’s angerB. she hated herself for being so messyC. she wanted to show her careD. she was asked by Kate to do so10.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By showing differences.C. By describing a process.D. By following time order.11.What might be the best title for the story?A. My Friend KateB. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be OrganizedD. Learning to Be RoommatesDI travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.12. The reason why the author hated to eat in the hotel restaurant is that the author didn’t like ____________.A. the discomfort caused by eating aloneB. being disturbed by the noises aroundC. meeting strangers in the restaurantD. being pointed at or laughed at13.

The author wants to tell us that ____________ .A. people can get help for their lonelinessB. restaurants should put the need of customers firstC. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonelyD. restaurants are full of surprises第二节：（共5小题，每题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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AMicro-Enterprise Credit for Street YouthIntroductionAlthough small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street ids International (S..I.) has been woring with partner organiations in Africa, Latin Africa and India to support the economic lives of street children.The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S..I. and our partner organiations have learned.BacgroundTypically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors the lac of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are eposed, with little or no protection, to eploitative employment, and urban crime.Street Business PartnershipsS..I. has wored with partner organiations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.● The S..I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were suppliedwith bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.● The Youth Sills Enterprise Initiative in ambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. StreetYouths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life sills training and access to credit.Lessons LearnedThe following lessons have emerged from the programs that S..I. and partner organiations have created.● It’s important for all loans to be lined to training programs that include the development of basic business andlife sills.● Small loans are provided initially for purchasin g fied assets such as bicycles, shoe shining its.● All S..I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to theconcept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest.ConclusionThere is a need to recognie the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeing to fulfill economic needs.1. The organiation, S..I., aims to _________________.A. give business training and loans to street childrenB. provide schools and social support for street childrenC. share the lessons S..I. learned to help street childrenD. draw the attention of the government to street children2. This passage implies that with the help of S. . I. street children may ______________.A. reject paid employmentB. set up their own businessC. leave their familiesD. employ other children3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The lin of all loans to training programs is important.B. Interest is charged for the loans in all S..I. programs.C. The S..I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles.D. The Y outh Sills Enterprise Initiative in ambia wors with another organiation.BMy father’s family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father’s dar hair, his love of a good argument. I tae after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that I would be a child Moart. She found the ideal teacher--Madame Oblena, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblena, who epected a little Moart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists on the eys.I tried to please her. “Feel the music,” she urged. I “felt” it and winced (退避) my ear--for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier epression than when she came.Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals (练习). In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method wored for a wee, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She noced on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to chec on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.I was twelve when my parents finally acnowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge anytime soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pic another instrument. “Choose anything you want, Honey,” she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears.I wored my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe Iwasn’t meant to be an instrumentalist. Realiing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom too me to a drama teacher. However, he put me bacstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realied the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical bacstage world, and I discovered thatI had a nac for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taing our scanty (贫乏) supplies and usingthem to mae something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me--this, to me, was close to magic.I’m a sculptor now, and every day I eperience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation. It’s a wonderful, blissful (乐而忘忧) feeling. I realie that my parents, in their misguided attempts to interest me in music, were trying to give me this feeling. And now I feel grateful. Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.4. The underline d word “emerge” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. disappearB. failC. turnD. show5. Which of the following best reveals the author’s attitude towards piano practice?A. She tried to mae the piano teacher pleased.B. She repeated the same mistae in practicing.C. She played the recording instead of practicing.D. She recorded her performance for improvement.6. The author’s mother can be best described as __________.A. devoted and stubbornB. encouraging and independentC. helpful and considerateD. hardworing and generous7. We can learn from the passage __________.A. art should be treated as a joy rather than a burdenB. the ordinary bacstage wor can help one succeedC. you can only get better at something if you practiceD. parents should encourage their children to create artCTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistaes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Tae the etra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “etra minute” rule. When my children were young and liely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor lie moving a c up full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more wor such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all now people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realied that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to wor on my day off after all.I now there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it taes an etra minute to do something right, or it occasionally taes an hour or two in my busy schedule to mae a personal connection, I now that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best ind of insurance for my emoti onal well-being.8. Which of the following is an eample of the “etra minute” rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron woring.C. Wait for an etra minute so that the stea tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.9. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A. eep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the companyD. finish her wor before the deadline approached10. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.A. abandonedB. lacedC. avoidedD. wasted11.W hat is the best title for the passage?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of MindDAs rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.Some persons loo on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would lie to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws mae everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night epecting to wae up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our bans would not be safe places to eep our money.Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that comes to everyone when laws are broen. Once this is understood, a citien will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaing laws is the first requirement of good citienship and government.Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people li ved without laws in a “state of nature”.People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now thin that as soon as people began living in small groups, they wored out rules for getting along with one another. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folways.Folways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more comple, folways became more complete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folways were put into writing as the earlier laws. And as life grew more and more complicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.But we now that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces woring to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citiens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.12. Some persons loo on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.A. they can’t do whatever they want toB. they feel it unnecessary to have lawsC. laws only protect those who wored out themD. laws and rules are too complicated to understand13. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A. Without laws we may fail to hold on to our propertyB. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.C. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate from Folways.D. Good citiens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evil results of breaing laws14.

As a young boy, he wanted to learn about the world. Humboldt followed his dream. In 1799, he traveled with a friend to Central and South America.On their trip, Humboldt and his friend saw and did many things. They sailed downthe Amazon River. They watched dolphins play in the ocean. They explored the rain forest and climbed mountains and volcanoes. They were able to make the first maps of the northern part of South America.Humboldt set a world record for mountain climbing. He also made a discovery. During his climb, Humboldt became very sick. He found out that the higher he climbed, the less oxygen there was in the air. This made it more difficult to breathe. Later, this became known as mountain sickness.Science was another part of Humboldt’s interests. He wanted to write about all of the new things he saw. He described the new plants, animals, and rocks which had never been seen by scientists before.Humboldt also studied the way of life of the local people. He learned how the native people along the Amazon River used plants in their daily lives. For example, they used a strong poison from a vine(蔓生植物) to make poisoned arrows. The natives used these arrows for hunting their food.The Amazon Indians also used a native plant to treat malaria (疟疾), a serious illness. The plant grew wild, but after it was dug up, it was never replanted. Humboldt warned the natives that the plant was in danger of dying out. He looked for ways to preserve the plant and to make it grow strong.Although Humboldt took many risks during his trip, he lived to be 90 years old. In his lifetime, he made many discoveries and shared them with the world. As a tribute (颂扬) to Humboldt, there are rivers and mountains named after him.8. We can infer that Humboldt was probably a (n)_______.A. explorerB. inventorC. doctorD. writer9. Humboldt and his friend made maps of_______.A. the central part of South AmericaB. the northern part of South AmericaC. the north part of Central AmericaD. the southern part of Central America10. What do we know about mountain sickness?A. It can be treated with a plant.B. It is a serious illness like malaria.C. It mainly influences one’s breathing.D. It was discovered by Humboldt’s friend.11. We can tell from the text that Humboldt was_______.A. easy-goingB. imaginativeC. optimisticD. ambitiousDIf doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certai n cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” —the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily.Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.12.According to the text we know that______.A. breath varies from person to person based on foodB. your breath may give you away if you are not carefulC. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illnessD. trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers13. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______.A. comfortable and convincingB. traditional and reliableC. accurate and competitiveD. quick and convenient14.What is the author’s attit ude toward breath testing?A. Doubtful.B. Approving.C. Unconcerned.D. Worried.15. What can we infer from the text?A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases.D. Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.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。
