淇滨高中2018-2019学年上期第二次月考 高二英语试卷 考试时间：100分钟 命题人：冯艳阳 审核人：申朝玲 第 I 卷 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）省略 第二部分：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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Saturday, March 24th We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.‎ Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days，and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.‎ Friday, March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.‎ ‎21．The diaries above show the writer's________ days in Thailand.‎ A．7 B．3 C．15 D．8‎ ‎22．It seems that visitors ________ in Bangkok.‎ A．often feel hungry 　 B．can't take any photos C．can have a good time 　 D．feel a little bored ‎23．Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A．Chiang Mai is a beautiful city in the south of Thailand.‎ B．The writer is traveling alone in Thailand.‎ C．The writer will take a bus to Chiang Mai.‎ D．The writer left Chiang Mai for Chiang Rai by bus.‎ ‎24．The people in the village________.‎ A．are friendly to others 　 B．like to speak English C．hope to live in the cities 　 D．live a very busy life B On a hot muggy (闷热的) August afternoon, I had every reason to feel sorry for myself—my flight home was full and late.‎ ‎ I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticed a 5yearold boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.‎ ‎_25__， he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother and me.‎ ‎ “Great，” I thought, “now I have to babysit a 5yearold. My day is now complete.”‎ As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasn't me he was after. It was my hat!‎ I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.‎ With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(微章)．‎ Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.‎ He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.‎ With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.‎ I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.‎ After this exchange, he still hadn't spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self pity.‎ Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, “Mister, you sure are lucky.”‎ ‎ “Yes，” I said, “I sure am.”‎ That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.‎ ‎25．Which word can be placed at the beginning of the third paragraph?‎ A．Excitedly. B．Cautiously. C．Disappointedly. 　 D．Sadly.‎ ‎26.The following contributed to the author's low spirits EXCEPT________.‎ A．the weather 　 B．the noisiness C．the bag 　 D．the flight ‎27．By “My day is now complete”， the author actually means ________.‎ A．it is common to meet a boy at an airport B．it is fun to be with a boy C．he knows that a boy usually brings along good luck D．he wouldn't like to be bothered at all ‎28．The author admitted that he sure was lucky, because________.‎ A．the boy returned his hat to him B．the boy liked his hat very much C．the boy gave his seat to him D．the boy changed his mood for the better C Hundreds of years ago, Native American tribes (部落) lived in Mexico. The Aztecs built beautiful cities. They had a calendar (历法) and a written language. However, the Spanish destroyed the Aztecs in 1521. For the next 300 years, Spain ruled over Mexico. That's why Mexicans speak Spanish.‎ Every September 16 the Mexican people hold a celebration in Mexico City, their country's capital. It is their Independence Day. On that date in 1821 they told Spain they would no longer be ruled.‎ Breaking free from Spain caused a war. When it was over, the Mexicans had their own government. They made their own laws.‎ Today America and Mexico are friends, but it wasn't always that way. President James Polk wanted America to reach from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. He tried to buy what is now the American southwest from Mexico. Mexico would not sell. So from 1846 to 1848 Mexico and America fought a war to ascertain where their borders (边界) would be. When the war ended, Mexico lost a lot of land. Now the Rio Grande River forms the border between the two nations. America is on the north side of the river. Mexico is on the south side.‎ Mexico has mountains and a hot, dry climate. Crops can grow on only a small part of the land. Still, Mexicans grow much of the coffee, oranges, and sugar used in the US. Mexicans have influenced building styles in southwestern US and added words such as patio and canton to American English. Americans also enjoy eating many Mexican foods like burritos, tacos，tortillas, and tamales.‎ ‎29．Before the Aztecs were destroyed, these Native Americans probably________.‎ A．didn't speak Spanish B．couldn't read or write any language C．didn't have tools D．didn't understand the concept of time ‎30．The passage says that President Polk wanted________.‎ A．the US to expand its borders to the Pacific Ocean B．Mexico to change its Independence Day to July 4th C．Mexico to become one of the states of the Union D．Americans to adopt the Mexican language ‎31．Another word for the underlined word “ascertain” is______.‎ A．inspect B．discover C．change D．determine ‎32．Mexicans have the following influences on America EXCEPT________.‎ A．building styles B．vocabulary C．clothes D．food D The best swimmers tend to be tall and thin with long arms, long legs, long feet, and long hands. The size of their hands gives them great “water grasp”， and only a very small hand movement keeps them afloat.‎ They also have great strength, endurance, insulation(隔绝) against heat loss while in water below body temperature, thus better energy conservation, low resistance(阻力) when in the water, and swimming stroke mechanics(动作技巧)．‎ Part of the reason why some people are better swimmers than others has to do with body density. The average person's body density is slightly less than that of water. Muscle has greater density than fat. Therefore, very muscular people tend to be poor at staying afloat. Bone has greater density than fat. Therefore, very skinny people tend to be poor at staying afloat.‎ Good buoyancy(浮力) is not necessarily the most important factor in good swimming, but it certainly helps. For example, great competitive swimmers—tall, thin, and usually more muscular than average—tend to have greater body density than average and less buoyancy. Many would not float very well if they remained motionless in the water. Their much greater “water grasp” makes up for it.‎ The average woman contains a higher proportion(比例) of fat in her body than the average man，and the average man contains a higher proportion of muscle in his body than the average woman. Therefore, in general, women are better floaters than men. Compared with other competitive sports，the performance of women is closer to that of men in competitive swimming.‎ ‎33．What can we learn from the passage about body density?‎ A．Higher body density reduces swimming ability.‎ B．A person's body density decides one's swimming ability.‎ C．Fat people can always swim faster than thin people.‎ D．People with a lower proportion of muscle can hardly swim.‎ ‎34．“Buoyancy” is important because________.‎ A．it helps people to be safer in water B．it can help people to swim better C．it can never be trained to get better D．it increases swimming length ‎35．How is the whole passage organized?‎ A．By reasoning and explaining. B．By argument and debate.‎ C．By explaining one part after another D．By examples and comments.‎ 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。‎ Planes are the most popular way of traveling among British people, but they are also the fastest growing cause of climate change. At least 13% of the greenhouse gases come from plane traveling. __36__‎ According to the British government figures, modern electric trains are eight times less damaging than the average planes. In many cases, catching a train can be faster than flying if you are going to Paris or Brussels. The Eurostar, a high speed passenger rail service, has shorter check in time, thus it can save much time. Besides, traveling can be part of the holiday. __37__ Why fly a thousand miles to lie on a beach?‎ The widely recognized InterRail pass scheme divides Europe into seven zones. Prices are divided into three bands—children, people aged from 12 to 25 and over 26. __38__‎ ‎__39__ Regular services run from British ports to Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Some trips to Scandinavia by boat can be particularly interesting.‎ ‎__40__ There are several agents who can book cabins on cargo ships going across the Atlantic. They are usually more expensive, but they are definitely more exciting! The journey can take several weeks, so this is probably not a choice for business trips. But if you are looking for the trip of a lifetime, it could be perfect.‎ A．But what about going across the Atlantic?‎ B．Why choose other ways of traveling over planes?‎ C．So what are the alternatives of planes if you want to travel?‎ D．There is so much culture and landscape to see between two places.‎ E．There are a lot of ferries from the UK to the rest of Europe.‎ F．Traveling is more interesting than staying at home watching TV.‎ G．But InterRail passes are only available to those who have been residents of Europe for at least six months.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ It happened when I was a little girl.
