和诚中学2019-2020学年度高二3月月考 英语试题 考试时间：100分钟 满分：150分 ‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）‎ 阅读短文，从所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项，并填到相应位置。 ‎ ‎ Three Boys and a Dad Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park，”he'd told his wife. “I'll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”‎ Things started well, but just after eight o'clock, his three little “good kids” — Mike, Randy, and Alex — came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Mike chanted “Where's my toast, where's my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.‎ Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.‎ By ten o'clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy,‎ ‎ thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.‎ At exactly 11：17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes？” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.‎ ‎1.When his wife left home，Brad expected to ______.‎ A．go out for a walk in the park B．watch TV talk show with his children C．enjoy his first day off work D．read the newspaper to his children ‎2．Which of the following did Randy do?‎ A．Drawing on the wall. B．Eating apple jam.‎ C．Feeding the fish. D．Reading in a room.‎ ‎3．Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?‎ A．Because he wanted to clean up his house.‎ B．Because he suddenly had to go to his office.‎ C．Because he found it hard to manage his boys.‎ D．Because he had to take his wife back home.‎ ‎4．This text is developed ________.‎ A．by space　　　　　　　B．by comparison C．by process D．by time B Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.‎ Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the US. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.‎ The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health. ‎ ‎5．The text mainly discusses the relationship between ________.‎ A．heart problems and air quality B．heart problems and exercising C．heart problems and smoking D．heart problems and fatty food ‎6．The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.‎ A．relatively high B．extremely low C．relatively low D．extremely high ‎7．What can we learn from the text?‎ A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.‎ B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.‎ C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.‎ D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.‎ ‎8．The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.‎ A．inform B．persuade ‎ C．describe D．entertain C If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.‎ While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.‎ But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.‎ In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage ‎ of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.‎ So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.‎ Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.‎ As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.‎ ‎9．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.　‎ A．provide some key facts about Confucius B．attract the readers' interest in the subject C．show great respect for the ancient thinker D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations ‎10．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.‎ A．have a great interest in studying Chinese B．take an active part in Chinese competitions C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese ‎11．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Old Thinker with a Big Future ‎12．The passage is likely to appear in ________.‎ A．a biography　　　　B．a history paper C．a newspaper D．a philosophy textbook D You've just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you've been away, has this country changed for the better — or for the worse?‎ If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you — anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobilephone shop to someone in your street moving house.‎ So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed — or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.‎ Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middleclass families — all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.‎ Having been an immigrant(移民) myself，I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more openminded and often work harder than the natives.‎ Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon ‎ as we landed.‎ To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening — in Cyprus（塞浦路斯）, they're very relaxed — and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metalmade buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport carhire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.‎ But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.‎ ‎13．After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________.　‎ A．notice small changes ‎ B．expect small changes C．welcome small changes ‎ D．exaggerate small changes ‎14．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?‎ A．Cautiously.　　　　　　B．Positively.‎ C．Sceptically. D．Critically.‎ ‎15．When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by ________.‎ A．the relaxed policemen ‎ B．the messy arrivals hall C．the tight security ‎ D．the bank robbers 第二节 七选五。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。（每题3分，共15分）‎ We've all made the excuses. But the successful ones are those who can kill the excuses like they are miserable maggots (蛆虫). __16__ ‎ See the positive. ‎ Excuses are usually made because we don't feel like doing something — we're stressing the negative. __17__ And maintain a positive attitude, or you'll never beat the excuses. ‎ Take responsibility. ‎ Excuses are ways to get out of owning up to something. If we don't have the time, money, equipment, etc., then it's not our fault, right? Wrong. Take action and own the solution. ‎ ‎ __18__ ‎ Just about every problem has a solution. Don't have time? Start with just 510 minutes. Make the time. Wake earlier. Do it during lunch. Don't have the energy? Do it when you have higher levels of energy. You're smart. Figure out the solution. ‎ See your goal.‎ This is your motivation — your reason for doing it. Sure, you could just lay on the couch (长沙发), but if you think about why you really want to pursue a goal, you'll be motivated. __19__ ‎ Be responsible. ‎ Have a workout partner, a project partner, a team, someone to report to. If you have to meet a coach or partner, you're more likely to do something.‎ ‎__20__ ‎ A．Find a solution. ‎ B．Here's how to kill them. ‎ C．Watch this and then go and do it. ‎ D．Imagine that goal and just get started. ‎ E．Instead, see the fun in something and the joy in it. ‎ F．Analyze the nature of every problem you meet with. ‎ G．However, those unsuccessful ones don't know how to handle them.‎ 第一部分 英语知识运用（共两节,满分55）‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸(卡)上将该项涂黑。‎ Every Saturday and Sunday morning, my father would throw his bike in the trunk of his car and explore new areas to ride. I was always 21 by this. What satisfaction did his bike provide him? It's ‎22 a bike, right?‎ That all 23 when I started riding my bike in our garage, which hadn't been touched for nearly three years.

But then, with a kick of confidence, I 35 my bike in September. All I kept thinking was that my father and mother would be 36 of me! Even if it was doing something as small as riding my bike!‎ Now, all I want to do is ride my bike! There are 37 no words to describe the rush you get while riding your bike. To 38 myself, I set goals. It feels unbelievable to know that you hit your goals.‎ The next time you are 39 with emotions, ride a bike.
