英语卷·2019届河南省滑县第二高级中学高二12月月考（2017-12）

滑县二中高二12月月考英语试题 第二部分： 阅读理解（共20题，每题2分，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。‎ A Dear Volunteers，‎ The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state.‎ We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year. That is hardly enough, and we depend on your contact a great deal! It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door. The person inside may be hurt or ill. They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us. If they are frequently absent, we may need to determine if they still need meals. If you find someone with a medical emergency, please call 911 to request medical assistance and then call the Meals on Wheels office. If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency, please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050, and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.‎ Let us know when a certain person needs extra food. We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them. Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals. Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading. If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library, let us know. We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program. Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals, or if someone needs a space heater, a blanket, or an electric fan. Please convey all needs to us, and we will try to see that they are met. Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers, liver diseases, AIDS, etc. If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of ‎ health problems, such as these, please let us know.‎ Sincerely,Betty L. Bradley, LBSW,‎ Executive Director ‎21. Why does the author write this letter?‎ A. To find some volunteers for the program Meals on Wheels ‎ B. To explain how the old people get help.‎ C. To tell volunteers what their tasks are. ‎ D. To describe the life situation of the old people.‎ ‎22. What can we learn about the volunteers from the passage? ‎ A. They order books for needy people. ‎ B. They design programs to help people.‎ C. They offer medical help to sick people. ‎ D. They deliver food to the elderly people.‎ ‎23. How does the author learn about the needs of the people served?‎ A. The volunteers report back the information to him.‎ B. His staff members call them to get the information.‎ C. He visits them now and then to get the information.‎ D. The family members send the information to his office.‎ ‎ B When people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.‎ Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）. During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the ‎ second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.‎ House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.‎ ‎24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?‎ ‎      A. The climate of their areas.                   ‎ B. The energy for their houses.‎ ‎      C. The fashions for their houses.             ‎ ‎ D. The building materials for their houses.‎ ‎25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.‎ ‎      A. keeping their livestock downstairs      ‎ B. protecting their livestock from the cold【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎      C. sharing their houses only with their cows     ‎ D. living on the second floor with their livestock ‎26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.‎ ‎      A. heat raises the temperature in the houses ‎ B. heat goes in the upward direction ‎      C. heat goes down if temperature is raised ‎ D. heat increases the temperature of rocks ‎27. From the passage, we can conclude that __________.‎ ‎      A. people will no longer consider building materials in the future B. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the future ‎      C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks ‎      D. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology ‎ C Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.‎ ‎ AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.‎ ‎ If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.‎ ‎ STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.‎ ‎ Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95. ‎ ‎ LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults.‎ ‎ GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.‎ ‎ Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual ‎ members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). ‎ ‎28. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.‎ ‎ A. help travelers pass time ‎ B. attract lots of travelers to the ‎UK ‎ C. allow travelers to make flexible plans ‎ D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation ‎29. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.‎ ‎ A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central ‎London ‎ C. provides cooking facilities for tourists ‎ D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September ‎30. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.‎ ‎ A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours ‎31. The main purpose of the passage is __________.‎ ‎ A. to tell visitors how to book in advance ‎ B. to supply visitors with hotel information ‎ C. to show visitors the importance of self-help ‎ D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips D While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.‎ In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies ‎ makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.‎ The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.‎ ‎      A. their earlier experience of feeling lonely ‎      B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries ‎      C. the common worry about their income ‎      D. the geographical distance between parents and children ‎33. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.‎ ‎      A. live in the countries with more money ‎ B. seek a better place for their aged parents ‎      C. continue their studies abroad ‎ D. realize their dreams in foreign countries ‎34. If young people go abroad, _________.‎ ‎      A. they do not hold to the value of duty at all ‎      B. they can give some help to their parents back home ‎      C. they cannot do what they should for their parents ‎      D. they believe what they actually do is right ‎35. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.‎ ‎      A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are different ‎      B. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society ‎      C. children will become independent as soon as they go abroad ‎      D. the aged parents are fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”‎ 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。‎ E Dear Seth,‎ You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.‎ Life can be cruel ‎ 36 They’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.‎ There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.‎ Be open to life anyway Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat（撤退） from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. 37 ‎ Life isn’t a competition You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.‎ But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. 38 Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny（平淡的）, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.‎ Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.‎ ‎ 40 You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly （难以置信的）wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.‎ Love,‎ Your Dad A. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.‎ B. It's a journey.‎ C. Life is full of love D. Last, think that you are a wonderful human being.‎ E.

Some students take an active part in the activities. In their opinion, learning from textbooks is not their only task and they should take every chance to get some practical knowledge. Besides, they think they can get relaxed by participating in after-school activities after long hour’s study.‎ On the contrary, other students take little interest in after-school activities. They believe that they should make full use of time to study and that after-school activities have little to do with the exams.‎ As far as I am concerned, I’m in favor of the first view. On the one hand, we can learn a great deal from other students through after-school activities. On the other hand, the modern society needs youths of many qualities and “bookworms” can’t keep pace with the time.‎
