河北省石家庄市普通高中2019-2020学年高二10月月考英语试卷

英语 ‎(考试时间:120分钟 试卷满分: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。 ‎ A In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.‎ ‎ This isn't a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition(学费)and living costs, obviously. And there's value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure ajob later on.‎ ‎ But it's not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they'rc sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working fulltime can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.‎ ‎ There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if ‎ they hadn't gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.‎ ‎1.According to the passage, the reality of college students is that .‎ A.they throw parties a lot B.they stay up late every night C.they pay no attention to exams D.they work besides attending classes ‎ ‎2.What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?‎ A.The need of developing social networks B.The lack of summer jobs for young adults C.The chance of finding a job after graduation D.The expenses of high tuition and living costs ‎3.We can learn from the passage that .‎ A.working students are more likely to finish college B.students can cover their college expenses through working C.students receive a huge reward for managing work and class D. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits ‎4.What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance C. The Reward of Working While Studying D. The Images of Working College Students B ‎ I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we'll buy another. But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that, with the loan(贷款)we'd need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as ₤600 a month.‎ ‎ And that's when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes' walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.‎ ‎ But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn't shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being "too poor to afford a car"? (I wasn't that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)‎ ‎ My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity.‎ Eight months later, I wonder whether we'II ever own a car again. The idea that you"have to" own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live - and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we'd be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.‎ ‎5.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because .‎ A.most families chose to go car-free B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident C.the cost of a new car was too much D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him ‎6.What is the attitude of the author's family toward his plan?‎ A.Supportive B.Disapproving C.Optimistic D.Unconcerned ‎7.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends' opinion?‎ A.Argue against it B.Take their advice C.Think it over D.Leave it alone ‎8.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?‎ A.Life cannot go without a car B.Life without a car is a little bit hard C.His life gets improved without a car D.A car-free life does not suit everyone C It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!‎ Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.‎ As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.‎ We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!‎ ‎9.
