高二英语第一次月考 ‎2018.9‎ 第 I 卷 第一部分 听力（略）‎ 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 第一节.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。‎ A To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun! ‎ Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times . Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century B C.‎ We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.‎ In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.‎ During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.‎ By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.‎ Umbrellas have hot changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made , in a whole variety of colors.‎ ‎1．Which of the following statements is not true about the umbrella?‎ ‎ A．No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was ‎ ‎ B．The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.‎ ‎ C．The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century ‎ D．In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.‎ ‎ 2．A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as__________.‎ ‎ A．protection against rain B．a shade against the sun ‎ ‎ C．a symbol of honor and power D．women’s decoration ‎ ‎3．In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain_______________.‎ ‎ A.during the Middle Ages B.by the 18th C.in Rome D.in Greece ‎4．This passage talks mainly about_______________.‎ ‎ A．when and how the umbrella was invented ‎ B．why the umbrella was so popular in Europe ‎ ‎ C．the development of the umbrella ‎ ‎ D．The history and use of the umbrella B Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.‎ The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.‎ The researchers asked questions about emotions（情绪） like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.‎ Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.‎ Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.‎ Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.‎ The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.‎ The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. ‎ ‎5. What can be the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. Happiness Varies with Ages ‎ B. Experience More, Worry Less ‎ C. The Older, the Wiser ‎ ‎ D. Being Young, Being Happy ‎6. We can learn from the research that _________.‎ A. only when people get older will they feel happier B. stress levels among the youngest are the highest C. older people tend to be grateful D. older people usually have no worries ‎7. According to the research, when people get older, _________.‎ ‎ A. they miss the old days ‎ B. they are physically weak ‎ C. they have better self-control ‎ D. they are more emotional ‎8. What would the author probably talk about next?‎ ‎ A. What influences happiness. ‎ ‎ B. How to live better.‎ ‎ C. How to keep happier. ‎ ‎ D. Why women are less happier.‎ C It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations”. I don’t remember ever smiling so wide. ‎ ‎ Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package. ‎ ‎ The cost of Dream School’s tuition（学费）, room and board was around ＄40,000 ? An impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice. ‎ ‎ In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.‎ ‎ One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself. ‎ ‎ At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring. ‎ ‎ As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out of that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there. ‎ ‎ In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me. ‎ ‎9. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?‎ A. He was full of joy. ‎ B. He was lost in his dream. ‎ C. He was worried about the money. ‎ ‎10. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “______”. ‎ A. would pay for transport to the school B. would show me around the campus C. would offer free meals at all events D. would charge me nothing for tuition ‎11. What does the author mainly want to say? ‎ A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit. ‎ B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools. ‎ C. You should try your best to attend your dream school. ‎ D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.‎ D Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effects towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small ‎ task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.‎ Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皱纹）shows on the bed-covers.‎ There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as (取得…的资格)“your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay（论文） on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias（百科全书）or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?‎ As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles（琐事）go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.‎ ‎12. According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.‎ ‎ A. to realize the quality of the work ‎ B. to pay attention to details of one’s work ‎ C. to do as many jobs as possible ‎ D. to form the habit of doing things ahead of time ‎13. The underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _______‎ ‎ A. badly B. patiently C. carefully D. slowly ‎14. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?‎ ‎ A. It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay. ‎ ‎ B. Websites are the sources of information you want.‎ ‎ C. Perfection is a habit that promises a good future.‎ ‎ D. You should make much effort to develop perfection.‎ ‎15. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.‎ ‎ A. introduce the famous painter Michelangelo ‎ B. advise us to do the things that are worth doing ‎ C. explain to us the meaning of the perfection ‎ D. expect us to give our best to our work 第二节 七选五阅读（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。‎ TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be ‎ swallowed up by the sea.‎ Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level, Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. ______16_____‎ ‎_____17_____. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year, Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global（全球的）warming.‎ The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade（摄氏） degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.‎ Warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川）melt（融化）, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10－25 cm in the last 100 years.‎ ‎____18____. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.‎ Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. _____19______.‎ ‎_____20_____, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees（难民）” looking for somewhere to live.‎ A. The main cause of global warming is human pollution B. If this should(万一) come true C. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.‎ D. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea E. The sea level could rise by one meter this century F. people face a lot of pollution G. much has been done about our planet ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ There are many kinds of friends．Some are always 21 you, but don't understand you．Some say only a few words to you, but understand you．Many people will step in your life, but only 22 friends leave footprints．‎ ‎ I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the 23 ．She will always bring back the friendship between us, I know she will always be my best friend．‎ ‎ It was the golden season．I could see the yellow leaves 24 on the cool 25 ．In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 26 to the sound of them．‎ ‎ Autumn is a 27 season and life is uninteresting．The free days always get me 28 ．But one day, the sound of a violin 29 into my ears like a stream （小溪） flowing in the mountains．I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was．A young girl, standing in the wind, was 30 in playing her violin．‎ ‎ I had 31 seen her before．The music was so nice that I listened quietly．Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 32 there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her．‎ ‎ Leaves were still falling．Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 33_ I went downstairs to watch her performance.
