内蒙古集宁一中2018-2019学年高二上学期第一次阶段测试英语试题

‎2018-2019学年第一学期第一次阶段性考试 高二年级英语试题 本试卷满分为120分,考试时间100分钟 第I卷(选择题 共70分)‎ 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)‎ 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中,选出最佳选项。‎ A It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?‎ ‎  Taking all amateur (业余) and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated (起源) in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or "association football", it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.‎ ‎  The next is rugby, which is called "football" in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.‎ ‎  In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.‎ Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.‎ Table tennis, or "ping-pong", surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.‎ 1. The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English _______.‎ A.are all sports lovers             B.behave like children C.like to kick a ball around        D.can remain young all their lives ‎2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?‎ A.They differ in the shape of the ball.‎ B.They are played by different numbers of players.‎ C.They both can be handled.‎ D.They both can be kicked.‎ ‎3. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is _________.‎ A.basketball    B.tennis    C.rugby    D.Football B Well, it’s time for Words and Their Stories. We present more expressions about food from Elenir Scardueli, a listener in Brazil.‎ My mother believes you are what you eat. Then she’d always give us nutritious food. She likes serving us meat and potatoes, which can also mean the most important part of something. Here’s another expression about meat: one man’s meat is another man’s poison—one might like something very much while another person might hate it.‎ My father’s a good and honest person. People say he’s the salt of the earth. He’d never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something. However, sometimes he tells us a story that seems bigger than life. So we have to take it with a grain of salt.‎ My husband makes enough money to support our family. So we say he brings home the bacon. He can cut the mustard(芥末), or do what is expected of him at work. Besides, he stands almost two meters tall, so it’s easy to find my husband in a crowd. He is a tall drink of water.‎ I take the train to work. It is not a pleasant ride because the train is so crowded that we are packed like sardines(沙丁鱼).‎ When we fail to see problems at work, my boss tells us to wake up and smell the coffee. We need to pay more attention and fix the problem.‎ I once made a big mistake at the office and felt foolish. I had egg on my face.‎ Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. But I do not like football. It is not my cup of tea.‎ We hope this has given you food for thought and stay with us next time. Thank you.‎ ‎4. The passage is mainly about _______.‎ A. some idioms about food  B. words created by mum C. words and their stories  D. phrases in the kitchen ‎5. The underlined phrase “you are what you eat” suggests that ______.‎ A. eating plays an important part B. meat and potatoes are basics C. rich nutrition holds the key of a meal D. a good diet is important for good health ‎6. When you doubt something, you might ______.‎ A. wake up and smell the coffee  B. take it with a grain of salt C. bring home the bacon  D. have egg on your face ‎7. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.‎ A. public lecture   B. TV show ‎ C. radio programme  D. personal statement C The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping, where you hand over notes and count out change in return, now happens only in the most minor of our retailers (零售商), like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting ‎ edge(前沿的) retail stores--Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance, you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.‎ Across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird(奇怪的) that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼睛) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet, that time-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness, represent something that matters?‎ But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet, the way the materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets, is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble(卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.‎ 8. What is happening to the wallet?‎ A.It is disappearing. B.It is becoming costly.‎ C.It is being fattened. D.It is changing in style.‎ ‎9. How are businesses done in big modern stores?‎ A.Individually. B.In the abstract. C.Electronically. D.Via a cash register.‎ ‎10. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?‎ A.Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.‎ B.The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.‎ C.Earning money is getting more difficult.‎ D.Spending money is so fast and easy.‎ ‎11. What can we infer from the passage about the author?‎ A.He is resistant to social changes.‎ B.He is against technological progress.‎ C.He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.‎ D.He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world.‎ D Zero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to the bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.‎ The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant(消毒剂) pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.‎ Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes--with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.‎ The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration(过滤), used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.‎ ‎12. According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.‎ A. eating          B. answering nature’s call     ‎ C. sleeping       D.going to the restroom ‎13. How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?‎ ‎  A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.‎ ‎  B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.‎ ‎  C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.‎ ‎  D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.‎ ‎14. To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______‎ A. a plastic bag          B. a sticky strip          C. a wide hose       D. a thigh bar ‎15. What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts’ urine is recycled?‎ ‎  A. The recycled water tastes better.‎ ‎  B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.‎ ‎  C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.‎ ‎  D. Space science includes recycling urine.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Four Habits to Help You Succeed We all want to succeed,whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar.For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand.
