‎2017-2018学年黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市第八中学高二12月月考 英语试题 ‎ 命题人:张齐红 审题：陈艳妹 ‎ 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，从每题所给四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A When the weather is good, most children would like to play outside. So we asked some kids and their parents whether the following toys kept them happy.‎ All Surface Swingball, $35.99‎ ‎ Played by Martin, nine, and five-year-old Alex in Crewe, Cheshire.‎ ‎ Mother Jennifer says, “The boys thought the toy was excellent and really wanted to play with it. It can be played with alone or with another child. It’s for the right age range but I believe the toy can be played with by all ages and is suitable for the whole family.”‎ Rubberwood Quoits Set, $13.99‎ ‎ Played by Jessica, four.‎ ‎ Mother Lucy Hayburst, 37, in Chichester, West Sussex, says, “Jessica played with this toy for a few minutes but quickly stopped playing with it. Since we bought this toy for her, she only played several times. The quality is very good. It can be played with by one child or more. Besides, I believe it’s more suitable for older kids.”‎ Wooden Animal Skittles, $14.99‎ ‎ Played by Matthew, two.‎ ‎ Father Richard Lee, 36, from Dartford‎, ‎Kent, says, “Matthew was very interested in the toys and liked to play with them, but that only lasted for around five minutes. The skittles were fun at first but that feeling soon disappeared. Two or more children can play with the toy together. And I think they are most suitable for kids aged between three and seven. Our youngest son, Ethan, just kept trying to eat the lion’s head.”‎ First Tailball Net Set, $22‎ ‎ Played by James, five.‎ ‎ Mother Sarah Schwar, 39, from Grays, Essex, says, “James loved the toy.” He enjoyed balls so it was perfect for him. We used it in the summer as it was easy to take on trips. It is suitable for kids over five years old. I think the price is fair and your children deserve it.”‎ ‎1. What did Jessica think of Rubberwood Quoits Set?‎ ‎ A. Frightening. B. Expensive.‎ ‎ C. Wonderful. D. Boring ‎2. Which toys are suitable for kids aged three?‎ ‎ A. Wooden Animal Skittles & First Taiball Net Set.‎ ‎ B. Rubberwood Quoits Set & First Taiball Net Set.‎ ‎ C. All Surfacce Swingball & Wooden Animal Skittles.‎ ‎ D. All Surface Swingball & Rubberwood Quoits Set.‎ ‎3. What can we learn from the text?‎ ‎ A. Toys should be chosen according to children’s ages.‎ ‎ B. Each toy has its own advantages and disadvantages.‎ ‎ C. Parents should encourage kids to play with toys patiently.‎ ‎ D. All parents are concerned with the usage and prices of toys.‎ ‎ B ‎ Reports tell us that Americans work more and vacation less than people in other major industrial countries. Still，millions of Americans do try to get away from home for a week or two in the summer months. Some might even have the time and money to spend longer on vacation.‎ For example， many retired Americans can be found driving around the United States in big recreational vehicles，known as R. V. ’s. These serve as a home away from home. In fact，it might even be their only home as they see the country.‎ Some American families get in their cars and drive to historic places like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. There，they can experience what life was like for early Americans. If that is not exciting enough， also in Williamsburg is a water park and an amusement park with rides.‎ Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West. They want to spend time with nature. Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean. They might swim or fish. But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing，except maybe read a book.‎ Some families fly to other countries on vacation. Or they go on a cruise ship(大型游轮）and stop in different ports. Cruise ships are like floating cities.‎ But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation. This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects. And while they do that，they might think of all the fun their friends are having.‎ ‎4. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Americans work more and vacation less. B. Where Americans go on their summer vacations. C. Different places for summer vacations. D. Not all Americans take summer vacations.‎ ‎5. If you want to spend time with nature，you can do the following things except ________.‎ A. to visit national parks B. to see the country C. to stay by a lake D. to visit historic places ‎6. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. People choose different destinations depending on different interests.‎ B. People interested in history can have fun in Colonial Williamsburg. C. All the people take vacations only to do nothing but relax themselves. D. Not all Americans can afford time and money to go on a vacation.‎ ‎7. What does the underlined sentence of the passage mean?‎ A. They fully enjoy doing their work on home improvement projects. B. They think of their work at home as a special kind of vacation. C. They can imagine what fun their friends are having on vacation. D. They might envy their friends having time going on vacation.‎ ‎ C ‎ Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters (上下班者) rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours –– one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours. ‎ In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. They make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains. ‎ In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they’ll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They’ll pay three times the normal rate.‎ Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds (摩托自行车) during rush hours. The city can’t make its streets wider, and it can’t build new highways, because it doesn’t want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists (考古学家). ‎ In many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three ‎ or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city. ‎ ‎8. Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are _______.‎ A. special lanes on highways B. many commuters C. four rush hours D. many cars on the street ‎9. Most of the commuters in Tokyo _______. ‎ A. take subway trains to work B. are packers ‎ C. take taxis to work D. carry briefcases to work ‎10. To “hail a cab” in Paragraph 3 means to _______.‎ A. pay double the normal fare B. try to get a cab ‎ C. prefer to take taxis D. to stand at crossroads ‎11. Commuters in carpools probably _______.‎ A. live in the city B. take the subway to work C. save money on gas and parking fee D. have special license plates (牌照)‎ ‎ D How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.‎ A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework.‎ Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored. ‎ ‎ Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a ‎ household task just for the good of the house.‎ ‎12. The passage is mainly about how to ______. ‎ A. get men to take on some housework B. get men to serve their families ‎ C. praise men’s housework D. make men do all the housework ‎13. According to the passage, a man ______. ‎ A. is willing to do housework ‎ B. likes to be told to do housework ‎ C. is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood ‎ D. likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it ‎14. In order to get men to do some housework, women should often ______. ‎ A. order them to do their share B. ask them to do some housework politely ‎ C. blame men’s laziness D. monitor men’s work ‎15. According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t ______. ‎ A. work without any payment B. do unimportant household tasks ‎ C. do housework without women’s praise D. please their wives 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。‎ For hundreds of years, people have been wondering about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep. 16 However, they have been valued as necessary to a person’s health and happiness. Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person's character. 17 He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.‎ The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's compensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer. 18 Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.‎ Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University‎ of ‎California found that dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 19 Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little ‎ or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance, the characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.‎ The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. 20 If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.‎ A. Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.‎ B. However, people should not take their dreams as reality.‎ C. They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.‎ D. It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.‎ E. Children do not dream as much as adults.‎ F. They think their mind is trying to tell them something.‎ G. First, there was Sigmund Freud’s theory. ‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 ‎ 完形填空（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四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ I often go to France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me.

Rubbish must be treated properly. Otherwise it may cause a lot of problems. It may pollute the air and water.

As far as I know, some rubbish is sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish, such as old newspapers and glass, is recycled. Some harmful rubbish is sent to a certain place and buried. Waste air is cleaned before it goes into the air. Waste water is treated before it is poured into rivers.‎ ‎ To protect the environment, the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should do our best to take good care of the environment and pollution.‎ ‎ ‎
