‎2017-2018学年吉林省延边第二中学高二下学期第一次月考 英语试卷 注意事项：答案必须写在答题卡上，答在试卷上无效。本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，本试卷满分120分。考试时间90分钟。‎ 第Ⅰ卷（选择题共70分）‎ 第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；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 A survey revealed the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. Actually, I am one of them.‎ Child-rearing(养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.‎ The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.‎ Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 per cent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups. ‎ The mother of Bill Gates: “If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless. ” The mother of Albert ‎ Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”‎ ‎1. The tone for the writer to write the passage is __________ .‎ ‎ A. cruel B. disapproving C. humorous D. critical ‎2. In Paragraph 2 the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that __________ .‎ ‎ A. females love kids more than males ‎ ‎ B. males are not good at child-rearing ‎ C. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males ‎ D. my dad is not interested in child-rearing ‎ ‎3. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Stories. B. Shortcomings. C. Disadvantages. D. Mistakes.‎ ‎4. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________ .‎ ‎ A. providing different examples B. following the order of space ‎ C. making comparisons D. analyzing causes B.‎ There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.‎ TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a onetime event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. ‎ There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spinoff conferences address narrower issues.‎ The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers”, as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.‎ The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling Foundation acquired TED in 2001.Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.‎ TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(杰出人物的鼓吹者) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars in total)．It's been accused by a few people of censorship（审核机构） for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.‎ The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, longrunning organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.‎ ‎5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A．The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.com.‎ B．Two TED conferences are now held every year.‎ C．TED talks are available in many languages.‎ D．The Sapling Foundation owns www.ted.com.‎ ‎6．From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that________.‎ A．it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be published B．the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakers C．TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerful D．the negative comments on TED greatly affect its reputation ‎7．This author probably believes that________.‎ A．TED is elitist B．TED is beneficial ‎ C．TED isn't importantD．the TED website is the best C.‎ I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.‎ One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.‎ Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.‎ ‎ But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.‎ ‎8. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.‎ A. she might be recognised B. asking for help looked silly C. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing ‎9. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.‎ A. began to run B. hit a person as usual C. hit a lamppost by accident D. was caught by something ‎10. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?‎ A. Other vehicles also stopped there. ‎ B. It was unreliable for making judgments.‎ C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.‎ D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.‎ ‎11. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.‎ A. to find people there B. to find more buses there C. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful there D.‎ Why You Should Celebrate Your Mistakes When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.‎ ‎ Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.‎ And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. ‎ Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.‎ ‎ By trial and error-trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.‎ ‎ Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.‎ ‎ Think about how we learn: we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.‎ ‎ So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.‎ ‎12. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?‎ A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. ‎ B. Because it's a natural part in our life.‎ C. Because we've been taught so from a young age. ‎ D. Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.‎ ‎13. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?‎ A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.‎ B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.‎ C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.‎ D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.‎ ‎14. The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably means __________.‎ A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw C. a primary school pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write ‎15. We can learn from the passage that __________.‎ A. most of us can really grow from success ‎ B. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error ‎ D. we read about something and know how to do it right away 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。(注意：E涂AB： F 涂AC: G 涂AD )‎ In my experience as a human resources manager, many job applicants are unsuccessful because they fail to prepare for interviews. If you want to get that job, you must do your “homework!”‎ ‎16 . It is essential that you know what the company produces or sells, who its customers are, its size, and whether it has recently expanded or is planning to. If you also understand the culture of the organization, you can give yourself a competitive advantage by ensuring you are “on message” during the interview. 17 .

Some of the questions will be quite straightforward. Others, however, are tricky and could catch you out if you have not thought them through ahead of time. For example, you might be asked, “ what are your strengths and weaknesses?” It is not easy to give an honest answer to the “weaknesses” part without sounding negative unless you are well prepared in advance.‎ A．I suggest you search online for the job title.‎ B．Get information about the job itself.‎ C．The Internet is an excellent source.‎ D．By culture, I mean the company’s principles and ideals.‎ E．Learn as much as you can about the employer.‎ F．Look at the products yourself.‎ G．You can find lists of questions on various career websites.‎ 第二部分英语知识运用完形填空（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（A、B、C和D）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 had a bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book.
