‎2017-2018学年辽宁省实验中学分校高二12月月考 英 语 试 卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分,考试时间120分钟，满分150分。‎ 第I卷 第一部分：听力 (略)‎ 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ A A man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. The bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.‎ ‎ A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one – in France and another – in Italy. We have made an agreement that every time we go to pub, each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.‎ ‎ Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer ‎Man.‎ ‎ However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.‎ When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It’s just because of my decision. I promised ‎ myself to give up drinking.”‎ ‎21. The man ordered three beers all the time because _______.‎ A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub.‎ B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much.‎ C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond.‎ D. this would help him become a local celebrity.‎ ‎22. We can infer from the passage that______.‎ A. news traveled fast in the town. ‎ B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinker C. the man’s brothers liked drinking beer very much D. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking ‎23. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because ________.‎ A. he would earn less money B. he thought the man should order three beers C. he thought one of the man’s brothers had passed away D. the man decided to drink two beers ‎24. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.‎ A. gratitude B. appreciation C. surprise D. sympathy ‎ ‎ ‎ B Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.‎ I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to ‎ refresh itself.‎ Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.‎ Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.‎ ‎25. Music has magical power because it ________.‎ A. is a kind of language B. can be played much louder than words C. receives a personal radio signal D. can influence a person's spirit ‎26. One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatles ________．‎ A. were the biggest band in American history B. are not accepted by modern American people C. appeared at a special time in American politics D. represented the roots of American culture ‎27. One will do all of the following while listening to music EXCEPT ________．‎ A. feeling very refreshed B. having emotional changes C. painting some vivid pictures D. feeling inspired by the composer ‎28. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________．‎ A. has been influenced by the Beatles B. enjoys drinking tea in his spare time C. admires President John Kennedy very much D. likes to match his own feeling with that of the composer C Climbing the corporate ladder (晋升) during my 32 years at Southern Bell (now AT&T) never appealed much to me. But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.‎ In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus‎, ‎Georgia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.‎ I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.‎ I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.‎ People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, ‘Look, that's a woman up that pole.’ One day I heard a man say, ‘Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!’ Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous, but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.‎ ‎29. When the author first became a lineman,          .‎ A. she was sure to be promoted B. she loved it and went all out for it C. she tried her best to convince her husband D. she received immediate recognition from colleagues ‎30. What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?‎ A. Concentration and strength.‎ B. Confidence and patience.‎ C. Bravery and devotion.‎ D. Efficiency and talent.‎ ‎31. Which of the following best describe the author's husband?‎ A. Outgoing and considerate.‎ B. Proud and demanding.‎ C. Adventurous and humorous.‎ D. Open-minded and supportive.‎ D Some people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere, and they’ll find their way around. Other people, though, can’t tell when they’re holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners?‎ Not all of your navigational (导航的)skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons（神经）—head-direction cells, place cells, and grid cells (网格细胞)—and they help program your inside compass when you’re just a baby.‎ In 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats’ neural activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns, the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction they’re facing) were fully grown and developed. The rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn’t even opened their eyes yet!‎ Humans, of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus—the brain area we use for navigation—is similar in most mammals. If the rat’s compass develops this way, then it’s likely that a human’s compass does, too.‎ If we’re born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost? The scientists found that the two other cells—place and grid cells—developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that’s where the trouble might be.‎ People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were—even without landmarks. According to researcher Michael Kahana, differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.‎ ‎32. What did the 2010 research find?‎ A. Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.‎ B. Rats’ hippocampus is different from that of humans.‎ C. Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.‎ D. Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.‎ ‎33. What do we know about our navigational neurons?‎ A. Place‎ cells let us know how to read a map.‎ B. Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.‎ C. They help us use a compass when we lose our way.‎ D. Place‎ and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.‎ ‎34. Why are some people so good at getting lost?‎ A. They can’t remember landmarks.‎ B. Their grid cells can’t work very well.‎ C. They are unfamiliar with new places.‎ D. Their ability to follow directions is poor.‎ ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Human navigational skills.‎ B. The compass in rats’ body.‎ C. Why grid cells are useful.‎ D. How homing pigeons work.‎ 第二节 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， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to stop sleeping in Class?‎ Sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning about the material that is being taught.
