辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学2019-2020学年高二6月月考 英语试题 第I卷（选择题)‎ 一、阅读理解 A Notre-Dame de Paris, a cathedral church in Paris, is the most famous of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. For the French, it represents something immortal, ever-present and unchanging, like a mountain. Built over almost two centuries, the Notre-Dame is, as President Emmanuel Macron said, “where the French lived all their great moments”. Soldiers prayed here before leaving for the Crusades; Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned here; it survived the French Revolution, two World Wars and the Nazi occupation. It is where men bend their knees to profess love and thousands of tourists take photos every day.‎ A fire, whose cause was not identified yet, engulfed (吞没), on April 15th, the cathedral’s upper structure. More than 400 firefighters took part in the 15-hour battle to control the blaze (火苗) that triggered sorrow over the globe. The extent of the damage is still unknown, but the fire destroyed much of the gothic cathedral’s wood-timbered roof and spire (塔尖). The cathedral will certainly be restored (the French government promises), but the sight of flames bringing down the spire moved the world in a manner far exceeding its religious significance.‎ French Culture Minister Franck Riester on Thursday said the government would draw all the consequences from the huge flames that destroyed the centuries-old Notre Dame Cathedral, adding measures to protect the national heritage were on the table. “Staff from the fire department, the culture ministry and the city town hall rushed to the Cathedral, when the fire started, to protect the main artworks that were inside. The artworks, which include relics such as the Christ’s crown of thorns and French king Saint-Louis’s 13th century tunic, were first moved to the city town hall and will now be transferred to the nearby Louvre Museum .” the minister told Le Parisian newspaper in an interview without giving details on the possible measures.‎ ‎1．What can we learn about the Notre-Dame de Paris?‎ A．It is the most well-known cathedral. B．Most of the French think little of it.‎ C．It’s still in existence after two World Wars. D.It was built by Napoleon Bonaparte. ‎ ‎2．What is true about the Cathedral in the accident?‎ A．Only the spire was brought down by the flames.‎ B．It was completely burnt in the fire.‎ C．The cause of the accident to the Cathedral was still unknown.‎ D．The gilded crown of thorns in it was gone forever.‎ ‎3．According to Franck Riester, what has already been done by the government?‎ A．Rebuild the cathedral.‎ B．Rescue the artworks inside the cathedral.‎ C．Transfer the relics to the nearby Louvre Museum.‎ D．Release the cause of the fire to the public.‎ B With schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?‎ Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.‎ One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and most children will feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”‎ Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”‎ Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.‎ It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine. Joe Wicks, otherwise known ‎ as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10 minute workouts for children on his Youtube channel. Ms Anderson said:” It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of football or dancing around your living room!”‎ ‎4．Who is the text intended for?‎ A．Student. B．Teachers.‎ C．Coaches. D．Parents.‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word“this" in paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．Homeschooling. B．Tutoring service.‎ C．A regular timetable. D．Difficult time:‎ ‎6．What may Nicola Anderson agree?‎ A．To offer children peaceful study environment.‎ B．To allow children to adjust schedule freely.‎ C．To recommend high-tech to online schools.‎ D．To combine routine with kids’ mental heath.‎ ‎7．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．How to improve homeschooling efficiency.‎ B．How to obtain online learning resources.‎ C．How to study attentively at home.‎ D．How to design a proper schedule.‎ C Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated (躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.‎ In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely ‎ — a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice”.‎ ‎“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”‎ Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book talks about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book and a short-story collection.‎ ‎8．What can we know about Cisneros in her childhood?‎ A．Her brothers disliked her.‎ B．She felt herself a nobody.‎ C．She was too shy to go to school.‎ D．She did not meet any good teachers.‎ ‎9．The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to ________.‎ A．run away from her family B．develop her writing style C．make a lot of friends D．search for a husband ‎10．According to Cisneros, what was the key factor in her success?‎ A．Her childhood experience.‎ B．Her training in the Workshop.‎ C．Her feeling of being different.‎ D．Her early years in college.‎ ‎11．What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?‎ A．It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros.‎ B．It enjoys great popularity among students.‎ C．It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.‎ D．It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.‎ D Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.‎ In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.‎ The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.‎ The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask “How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.‎ So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.‎ ‎12．The scientist did some experiments to ________.‎ A．find good ways of training children to learn B．show that children’s education is important C．test children’s self-control and later success D．test children’s intelligence of ringing the bell ‎13．What do the underlined words “broke down” probably mean?‎ A．failed to wait. B．kept waiting.‎ C．hid the candy. D．ate the candy.‎ ‎14．How long did the scientist’s experiments last according to the text?‎ A．Just 15 minutes. B．Within 10 years.‎ C．Less than 14 years. D．About 28 years.‎ ‎15．What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text?‎ A．They will improve their education.‎ B．They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.‎ C．They will become very rich and successful.‎ D．They will work hard to catch up with others.‎ 二、七选五 Anyone who has children has likely heard “I’m bored!” too many times. When you’re on a budget, it can be tough to think of ways to entertain the family that don’t cost a lot of money. 16．‎ Head to the library, and not just check out books. Look at the library’s community events calendar. Most libraries have everything from story times for children to game nights for teens. 17．‎ Camp in a national forest or build a sandcastle. A lot of the sites are free to use, though they do lack facilities. 18． If there’s no beach nearby, do the same in the sandbox at a playground.‎ ‎19． Most cities have at least one local community center.There, you can pick up a park and recreation schedule, with information on free events taking place throughout the year, such as hikes,holiday parties, art festivals, outdoor movies and concerts in the park.‎ Tour the fire station. Most fire fighters will give you and your kids a free tour,as long as you call and schedule ahead of time. 20． For safety reasons, fire stations do not generally accommodate children under the age of four.‎ Check out a state park. Stop by the ranger station and ask about free programmes for kids, such as nature walks and hands-on science classes. Some parks have junior ranger badges(徽章)children can earn by completing conservation related activities. ‎ A．Visit the local community center.‎ B．Go to the beach and build a sandcastle.‎ C．The time when children visit is very important.‎ D．Spend more time finding much free information.‎ E.

It seemed to her a very large amount of money. For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children. The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement.‎ On the day she planned to go shopping with the money, she ate a light meal- no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she forgot to eat at all!‎ When she arrived at the large department store, she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price a young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry, and started to feel the soft, expensive items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly, “Well, I will buy this pair.”‎ Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies’ rest area. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. How good was the touch of the silk on her skin!
