高二第一学期第二次月考英语试卷第I卷第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40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。

AChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are notteaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.1. Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.A. are too strict with their childrenB. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children2. Generally speaking, children’s skills ______.A. come from their parentsB. have nothing to do with their educationC. may be differentD. have something to do with their marks in the exams3. The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.A. the parents’ ideas of educating their childrenB. the education systemC. children’s ski llsD. children’s hobbies4. Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.A. learn how to serve their parentsB. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the futureD. make their parents believe that they are clever5. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.A. broken radios and television sets are usefulB. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later lifeC. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radiosBIt is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: themoney supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability（稳定）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.6.From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.A. everyone’s incomes riseB. money will hold its valueC. we can watch our money growD. money constantly loses its valueA. inflation maybe still be a problemB. we have nothing to worry aboutC. inflation is no longer a problemD. we will become richer and richer8．Under inflation people are likely to ________.A. go to the bank more often than usualB. save more money since their incomes riseC. spend money quickly rather than to save itD. keep money at home instead of going to banks9．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.A. the writer is a government officialB. the writer is worried about inflationC. the writer encourages people to spend moneyD. the writer has become richer because of inflation10. Which of the following words is omitted（省略）at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?A. Matter.B. Goes.C. Rises.D. Falls.CDNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In I860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with aspecial language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell to build its parts, we are trying to study the words in the DNA map,but we still do not understand what they all do. Byunderstanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words”and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive , or stop sick people getting jobs.11. When did Mr Mendel discover why we look the same as other people in our family?A. In 2000.B. In 1961.C. In 1953.D. In 1860.12. What did the two scientists find in 1961? They found ____.A. all the words in the DNA mapB. small things called “genes” in our bodyC. the first “word” they could understand in that languageD. those small parts are written in the DNA with a special language13. How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNAmap?A. Make better medicine.B. Make them get jobs.C. Make maps for them.D. Make them attractive.14. Which one is not true according to the article?A. W e look like our parents because of “genes” in our body.B. W e have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.C. DNA is the whole “map” of the human body.D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.15. What do people think about this research about DNA?A. It can be only bad.B. It can be only good.C. It can be good but won’t work.D. It can be good and bad.DFebruary has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for younglovers secretly. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which h e signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular am ong Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.16.
