辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学207-2018学年高一下6月月考英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分: 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）AHow you move and gesture says as much about you as what comes out of your mouth.Jenny Smith, 34, an assistant vice-president at a bank in New York, was interviewing candidates (应考生) for a position which required a person with good communication skills.One candidate in particular stood out, but not in a good way. While she could have been very intelligent, her body language sent out very different messages. Her handshake was more of a finger shaker, and her eye contact was weak.To Jenny, what the candidate said didn’t matter because her body language said everything: she wasn’t suitable for the position. The candidate may have been quite appropriate(合适的), but she didn’t manage to get that across. So our body language may not do us justice. But there are some signals which are very common and are worth a thousand words.For example, a handshake can say muc h more than “hello, nice to meet you”. The most important part of a handshake is palm-to-palm contact. It’s even more important than how strong your handshake is. The palm-to-palm contact makes people seem honest: it seems to say “I am sincere(真诚的)”. A wea k handshake—when the palms don’t touch —makes you seem unfriendly, insincere.But people sometimes use body language to give each other the wrong impression. Somebody who has a firm handshake may be pretending to be sincere, and somebody with a weak handshake may just be a bit shy and nothing more.Body language can also be overdone. While eye contact gives an impression of friendliness, too much eye contact or eye contact which is too intense(极为强烈的) can make people feel uncomfortable.1.The candidate for the job failed because _______.A. She wasn’t clever enoughB. she used improper body languageC. she said the wrong thingsD. she expressed a bad attitude2.When you shake someone’s hand you should ______.A.hold his hand with great strengthB. make frequent eye contactC. say something sincereD. make good contact with their hand3.According to the sixth paragraph, our body language _______.A.may give other people the false ideaB. is much more important than what you sayC. tells other people what you are really likeD. are ignored by most people4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To help readers get a better jobB. To show why handshakes are importantC. To introduce body language to readers.D. To explain what the right communication skills areBThe idea for traffic lights began in the 1800s when a system was required to control the ever-increasing flow of horse-drawn traffic. In 1868, in London, a signal was installed (安装) at the crossing of George Street and Bridge Street, near Parliament. This provided walkers a safe crossing.The system contained a semaphore—a tall post with moveable arms. When the arms were positioned sideways it meant stop. After dark, a gas light was lit at the top. The green colored glass meant go, while red meant stop. At first, signals were controlled by hand, with officers deciding when the signals should be changed according to traffic flow. They’ve blow a whistle to warn drivers that the signal was going to change.However, in 1869, a traffic signal exploded following a leak (泄露) in one of the gas lines below, severely injuring the policeman operating it. This led to the semaphore project being dropped in London.Then in Utah in 1912, Policeman Lester Wire developed the first electric light system with red and green lights. Two years later, the first electric signal was installed in Cleveland. It wasbased on a design by James Hoge and allowed the police and firefighters to control the signals in case of emergencies.In Detroit, William Potts, also a police officer, looked to adapt railroad signals to be used on streets and developed a system with red, yellowish brown and green lights. He made the first four-way three colored traffic system, and it was installed on the Wood ward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit in 1920. A year later there were 15 automatic(自动的) light systems.The first electric traffic lights to be installed in England were in Piccadilly Circus in 1926. Just over 60 years later traffic lights became the subje ct of an art installation near London’s Canary Wharf.5.The second paragraph mainly tells readers ________.A.how the original traffic lights functionedB. how the semaphore was installedC. why a whistle was needed to control the trafficD. why signals should be changed by traffic officers.6.Why was the semaphore project dropped in London?A.It was not environmentally friendly.B. It was not easy to operate.C. It turned out to be unsafe.D. It was expensive to afford.7.According to the text, the four-way three colored traffic system _______.A.was introduced into England in the late 1920sB. got popular in America in the late 1920sC. was firstly installed in America in 1920D. was developed by a policeman in 19208.The text is developed mainly by _______.A.following space orderB. following time orderC. making comparisonsD. giving examplesCSix people are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars—without ever leaving the Earth.Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special habitat on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. They are part of an experiment being done by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)that is designed to mimic(模仿)life on Mars.Some people may become happy or bored living under those conditions. Certain personality types may not get along and living together for a long time could cause them to argue.By studying people living in similar conditions here on Earth, NASA hopes to learn how to choose the best people for a space mission, and how to help them get along.The crew(全体机组人员) will live in a two-story dome-shaped building. The dome is located in an area about 2400 metres up the side of Mauna Loa, the second biggest volcano in the world. Mauna Loa is an active volcano, but it has not erupted since 1984. It is monitored all the time for signs of volcanic activity. NASA chose the location because the environment there looks very similar to Mars.During the experiment, the crew will only be able to communicate by email. To make it more like being on Mars, there will be a 20-minute waiting time between the time a message is sent and when it is received. That means it will take 40 minutes to get a reply to an email.The crew will be performing scientific work while they are there, including some trips outside the dome. When they go outside, they will have to wear spacesuits, just as if they were on Mars.The commander of the crew is Martha Lenio, a 34-year-old Canadian. Lenio studied engineering and is interested in space exploration and environmental problems. During the mission, she will run experiments on growing food and making compost(堆肥) inside the dome.The other crewmembers have backgrounds in physics and astronomy. They were chosen from about 150 people who applied to take part in the experiment. None of them are astronauts.9.The main purpose of the experiment is to ________.A.Study people’s behaviorB. complete a challenging taskC. get familiar with our natural worldD. prepare volunteers for life on Mars10.When living in a group, volunteers should ______.A.Try to show their own personalityB. learn to get along with each otherC. have no chance to go outsideD. communicate by phone in real time11.What can be learnt from the text?A.Martha Lenio used to be an astronaut.B. The experiment will take about two years.C. All six members have professional backgrounds.D. All members will run experiments on growing food.12.Where is the text most probably take from?A science fiction. B. A science magazine.C. A class presentationD. A geography textbookDTypes of Fire ExtinguishersFire extinguishers are marked according to the kind of fire on which they should be used. Using the wrong type of extinguisher can be dangerous and make things worse.Type A extinguishers are used for fires on paper, cloth, wood, rubber, many plastic and so on. These types of fires usually leave ashes when they burn, so use Type A extinguishers for fires that leave ashes.Type B extinguishers are used for burning liquids, such as oil, gasoline, and paints. These substances often come in barrel-shaped(桶形的)containers, so use Type B extinguishers for such barrels.Type C extinguishers are used for electrical fires. Electricity travels in a circuit(电路), so use Type C extinguishers for circuits.Remember A is for Ashes, B is for Barrels, and C is for Circuits. Make sure you have the correct type of fire extinguisher before you try to use it.Using a Fire ExtinguisherTo help you remember how to use a fire extinguisher, learn PASS. PASS stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze (挤压), and Sweep.Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher cylinder(圆桶).Aim the nozzle(喷嘴)at the base of the fire.Squeeze or press the handle.Sweep the spray(喷雾) from side-to-side at the fire’s base until it goes out.13.The purpose of the text is to ______.rmB. persuadeC. entertainD. comment14.What should you do before using a fire extinguisher?A.Check whether it is in good condition.B. Check whether you have chosen a right one.C. Make sure you have an instructor beside you.D. Make sure you have mastered the way to use one.15.The tone of this text can be best described as ______.A.enthusiasticB. humorousC. depressingD. serious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。
