2017-2018学年甘肃省临泽县第一中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题（Word版）

临泽一中 2017-2018 学年下学期 6 月月考试卷 ‎ 高二英语 ‎ ‎（考试时间：90 分钟 试卷满分：120 分） ‎ 测试范围：人教选修 7 和选修 8 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） ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 ‎ A ‎ ‎ My Favourite Travel Books ‎ The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux ‎ ‎ Choosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world: It’s impossible to settle on just one. But The Old Patagonian Express, which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston , USA to southern Argentina, is right up there at the top of my list. Theroux has a wicked sense of humor. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels. Walden by Henry David Thoreau ‎ ‎ If he were alive today, Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book. But I regard it as a travel-writing masterpiece. I went into the woods, he writes, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. That’s the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records. ‎ The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac ‎ ‎ Like so many people, I fell in love with Kerouac’s novels in my late teens and early 20s. On the Road gets all the press, but I always love The Dharma Bums. Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains, Berkeley, and backpacking in the Sierras. It’s hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire. ‎ Confucius Lives Next Door by T. R. Reid ‎ ‎ This is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan, only the cross-cultural differences are much greater. Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post, enabling him to uncover truths about the country. Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools, including Yodobashi No. 6 Elementary School, where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff. ‎ 1. Which book enables readers to experience great cross-cultural differences? ‎ A. Confucius Lives Next Door. B. The Old Patagonian Express. ‎ ‎ C. On the Road. D. Walden. ‎ 1. What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums? ‎ A. A strong desire to follow. B. A love for novels. ‎ ‎ C. A wish to learn cooking. D. An excitement to write poems. ‎ 2. What is the feature of most modern travel books according to the author? ‎ A. Experience. B. Observation. ‎ ‎ C. Culture. D. Discovery. ‎ B ‎ ‎ Most students, when asked about their best graduation(毕业) gift, would probably reply, “ A car”, or “Money for a house”. Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet. ‎ ‎ Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to ‎ Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau(高原) was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai’s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that was on the line,” said Cai. ‎ ‎ However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’ an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a volunteer in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak. ‎ ‎ It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.” ‎ ‎ Cai was moved by the girls’ story. Their situation is worse and the local people have little chance to learn ‎ Mandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “1 want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him. ‎ 4. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift? ‎ A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet. B. Receiving money for a house. ‎ ‎ C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school. D. Owning a new car and travelling around. ‎ 5. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s journey to Tibet like? ‎ A. Special and comfortable. B. Dangerous but meaningful. ‎ ‎ C. Relaxing but unexpected. D. Freezing cold and boring. ‎ 6. The underlined phrase "on the line" in the second paragraph means ? ‎ A. in a hurry B. at risk ‎ ‎ C. making a phone call D. surfing the Internet ‎ 5. The purpose of writing this passage is to . ‎ A. tell us about an unusual graduation gift ‎ B. introduce a dangerous journey to us ‎ C. give advice on how to travel to Tibet ‎ D. encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet ‎ C ‎ ‎ Calorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots. ‎ Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims. ‎ ‎ A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after eating. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day. ‎ ‎ Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陈代谢) first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基 酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat. ‎ ‎ Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝脏), and then later as body fat. ‎ ‎ In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use. If the balance is off, they will win lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced. ‎ 8. How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by 10 degree Celsius? ‎ A. One kilocalorie. B. Five kilocalories. ‎ ‎ C. Ten kilocalories. D. Fifty kilocalories. ‎ 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ‎ A. How the nutrients are classified. B. How oxygen works in human body. ‎ ‎ C. How the food types affect metabolism. D. How the body gets heat from nutrients. ‎ 8. What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mean? ‎ A. Store. B. Remove. C. Replace. D. Burn. ‎ 9. What can we learn from the last paragraph? ‎ A. It is good for our health to do exercises. ‎ B. It’s really difficult to control our weight. ‎ C. It is important to control the calories we take. ‎ D. It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients. ‎ D ‎ ‎ He wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants (刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point. Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the writing of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection. ‎ ‎ Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modern translation. And according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings. ‎ ‎ The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books. ‎ ‎ The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded”, before reading the simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare’s use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version. ‎ ‎ The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit. Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translated” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity. ‎ ‎ “Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive (认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers. ‎ 12. The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to . ‎ A. prove the poet’s point B. introduce the topic ‎ ‎ C. serve as an example D. stress the importance of reading ‎ 13. What is the beneficial effect of reading classics on the mind? ‎ A. It excites the reader’s mind. B. It reflects the reader’s experience. ‎ ‎ C. It catches the reader’s attention. D. It monitors the reader’s brain activity. ‎ ‎14．What method is mainly used in the experiment? ‎ ‎ A. Comparing responses. B. Analyzing data. ‎ ‎ C. Observing activities. D. Testing ability. ‎ ‎15. According to Professor Davis, poetry can affect the mind mainly because of . ‎ ‎ A. its style B. its meaning C. its depth D. its writer ‎ 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。 ‎ ‎ Painting ‎ ‎ The art of creating pictures using colors, shapes and lines is called painting.
