河津市第二中学2018-2019学年第一学期高二9月月考 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 第I卷 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）‎ A ‎ Welcome to one of the largest collections of  footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.‎ Room 1 The celebrity（名人）footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities’ choice of footwear extremely interesting.‎ Room 2 Most of our visitors are amazed  —and shocked— by the collection of “special purpose”shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!‎ Room 3 As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe-shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that like legs!‎ The footwear Library People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.‎ ‎1. Where would you find a famous singer’s shoes?‎ A.Room1.‎ B.Room 2.‎ C.Room 3‎ D.The footwear Library ‎2. All exhibits in each room ________________  .‎ A. share the same shape B. have the same theme C. are made of the same material D. belong to the same social class ‎3. Which of the following is true according to the text?‎ A. The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.‎ B. Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.‎ C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.‎ D. Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data.‎ ‎4. The purpose of the text is to get more people to __________________.‎ A. do research B. visit the museum ‎ C. design shoes D. follow celebrities B When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.‎ Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.‎ Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.‎ ‎  Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.‎ The two naturally became friends. Ma says, “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now.”‎ However, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.‎ ‎“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinesedesigners to the world stage,” says a western designer.‎ The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.‎ ‎5. In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show_______ .‎ A. it is hard to explain “Which came first, the egg or the hen?”‎ B. paying such great attention to her was unnecessary C. the outcome was more important than the process D. her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress ‎ ‎6. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together. ‎ B. Peng’s suits can be bought in Ma Ke’s clothes stores.‎ C. Ma Ke offered to design the first lady’s clothes through her friends. ‎ D. Peng had liked Ma’s designs long before she got to know her in the flesh.‎ ‎7. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.‎ B. Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.‎ C. Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.‎ D. After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular.‎ ‎8.The passage mainly discusses________.‎ A. the reactions to Peng Liyuan’s first visit to Moscow ‎ B. the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer C. Peng Liyuan’s clothes on her first state visit D. the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan’s dress，Ma Ke C ‎ Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. May be it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly.‎ ‎ Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way. Your body(or more likely, your brain)expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don’t eat breakfast you may feel so hungry by lunch time that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you are starving.‎ ‎ For many people, eating breakfast may be an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep up a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps you metabolism(新陈代谢)running higher. In fact, it takes three or four days of eating nothing before the body starts changing down your metabolism(新陈代谢).It’s more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day.‎ Breakfast should include a healthy source of protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time. The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein. High-fiber foods include fruits,vegetables and whole grains.‎ If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up int two smaller meals. Eat a hard ‎ boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.‎ ‎9.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2 ?‎ A. Eating breakfast keeps us healthier than skipping it. ‎ B. Skipping breakfast isn’t very useful in losing weight.‎ C. Our brain needs a lot of fuel to work properly.‎ D. What healthy food we should eat for breakfast.‎ ‎10.What does the underlined word “tempted”in paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Pretended ‎ B. Determined C. Attracted D. Warned ‎11.All the following are a good source of protein except __________.‎ A. low-fat meat ‎ B. low-fat dairy products C. vegetables D.eggs ‎12.The passage is most probably taken from__________.‎ A. a news report B. a personal diary C. a biology book D. a healthy life website D ‎ As the new semester begins，millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper-or，more likely，how best to delay that paper．‎ ‎ Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space，eating snacks，surfing the Internet，watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them，who，most likely，are doing nothing either．‎ ‎ Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．But this does nothing to solve their problems．‎ ‎ According to a recent report by the BBC，95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators，complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks．‎ ‎ Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all ‎ wrong．Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．‎ ‎ She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel anxious and ashamed，inconveniences others，and annoys loved ones．‎ ‎ Fortunately，social scientists have made tireless efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies to control it．Piers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes humankind is“designed”to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．‎ ‎ The first one is obvious：Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically．‎ The second is clever：Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time，they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.‎ ‎13.What does the underlined word“Procrastination” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ A．A thief who steals time and money in college.‎ B．A bad habit of putting work or tasks off．‎ C．A college student who learns nothing． ‎ D．A study way of doing nothing in the library.‎ ‎14.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?‎ A．Students can’t solve their procrastination by writing micro blogs．‎ B．Many students don’t know what to do in the library．‎ C．College students can have their papers written if they delay them．‎ D．20％ of the procrastinators make their life complicated．‎ ‎15.Which of the following may Piers Steel support?‎ A．Human beings are not born to be procrastinators． ‎ B．Give your trusted friend money and ask him to help you finish your tasks．‎ C．Complete your tasks or work step by step．‎ D．You can’t control procrastination but you can avoid it．‎ 第一节 ‎ （共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。‎ ‎ What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time．_____16____ One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．‎ ‎ Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you．I'm just looking"? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．" She says, "Right this way, please.”It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. ___17____ Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．___18____ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．‎ ‎ Reading is not one single activity. 19 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．‎ ‎ This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes ___20____ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．‎ A. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader．‎ B. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study．‎ C. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.‎ D. You remember better when you know what you' re reading．‎ E. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting．‎ F. At least two important processes go on at the same time.　‎ G. This is an effective studying way. ‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）‎ ‎ From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital（独奏演唱会）.
