‎2018-2019学年内蒙古第一机械制造（集团）有限公司第一中学高二上学期10月月考英语试题 第一部分 阅读理解 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Europe’s busiest shopping street London is a shopper’s paradise（天堂）, and one of the best places to go is Oxford Street. Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores, is here. There are at least four other major stores and Europe’s largest music shop. In December the Christmas lights are always switched on by a famous person.‎ Kids’ heaven Nearby in Regent Street is Hamleys. This is the biggest toy store in the world, opened in 1881. There are seven floors, so kids can always find something they haven’t got.‎ Markets You can’t leave London without visiting a market. One of the oldest is Borough market. Walk around and look at the fresh fish, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialist food, like cheeses, pork pies and chutney. For antiques（古玩）, jewellery or collector’s items go to Portobello Road on a Saturday. You never know what you will find. If you like browsing（浏览）for jewellery and gifts, there is nothing better than Covent Garden market. There are lots of cafés here and always some kind of street entertainment.‎ Back in time If you are in the north of England, why not explore York’s picturesque medieval（中世纪的）quarter, known as The Shambles. The narrow streets are always filled with shoppers. The old wooden buildings are so close they almost touch each other.‎ ‎1. Oxford Street becomes special in December for ________.‎ A. the busiest shopping street in Europe B. the largest music shop in Europe C. the lights are always lighted by a famous person D. many bargains to choose from ‎2. To enjoy food, you can go to ________.‎ A. Borough market B. Portobello Road C. The Shambles D. Covent Garden market ‎3. Where is this passage probably taken from?‎ A. A science book B. A traveler’s journal C. A news report D. A trip guide B The United States is the country we most associate with “road culture”. The US, after all, is a vast land with a network of roads built for travel and communications.‎ One road in particular, Route 66, stands for the importance of road travel in the US. This east-west highway takes travelers between Chicago in the east and California in the west. The experience of doing this long drive is the stuff of American mythology（神话）. Indeed, many films and novels have been produced about it.‎ But now, it seems the US has a competitor in road-culture: Scotland. This country is far smaller than the US, but it’s still big enough to have a 500-mile scenic route - and, potentially, a 1,500-mile road trip.‎ The name of the route is North Coast 500 (NC500). It’s a young route, only introduced in 2015. It takes travelers who wish to drive the whole route around the coast of the north of ‎ Scotland and across the country.‎ But what’s so special about NC500? It’s the scenery, which is best viewed in spring, according to Travel magazine. During that time, travelers can enjoy “sparkling（波光粼粼的）lakes, valleys filled with blossoming（开花的）trees, and views of the mineral-blue ocean and strawberry-blonde beaches”.‎ The introduction of the route has done wonders for the region’s economy. The ‎ number of drivers it has attracted has meant hotels and restaurants along the route are often fully booked. In fact, it’s believed that the north of Scotland is now £9 million richer a year because of it.‎ And hopefully someday soon, people will be making movies and writing novels about NC500, just as they do about its US cousin.‎ ‎4. What’s the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?‎ A. To recommend that readers go on a trip along Route 66.‎ B. To explain why road travel is popular in the US.‎ C. To introduce the topic of road culture in Scotland.‎ D. To compare road travel in the US with that in Scotland.‎ ‎5. What can we learn about NC500 from the article?‎ A. It covers a distance of about 500 kilometers.‎ B. It’s a new road that opened this year.‎ C. It’s much longer than Route 66 in the US.‎ D. It’s a coastal route around northern Scotland.‎ ‎6. What makes NC500 attractive to people?‎ A. It’s the longest road in the UK.‎ B. It offers striking scenery to travelers.‎ C. It has appeared in many movies.‎ D. It connects all the lakes in Scotland.‎ ‎7. What benefit has NC500 brought to northern Scotland?‎ A. It has reduced traffic pressure in the region.‎ B. It has helped to improve its economy.‎ C. It has attracted more people to live in Scotland.‎ D. It has created more job opportunities than ever before.‎ C ‎ It's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were ‎ sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.‎ Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.‎ A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.    ‎ In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.     So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach. ‎ ‎8. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______. ‎ A. remind readers of their own special food. ‎ B. deepen the understanding of hunger.‎ C. report the discovery of craving study.‎ D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.‎ ‎9. What do we learn about food craving? ‎ A. It shows food is linked to feelings. B. It ensures a person survives hunger.‎ C. It means the stomach functions well. D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.‎ ‎10. What's the likely result of dieting? ‎ A. The decrease of chemicals.                 B. The increase of food desire.‎ C. The refusal of fat and sugar.               D. The disappearance of appetite.‎ ‎11. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage? ‎ A.  Education              B. Entertainment C.  Science          D. Economy ‎ D ‎  NASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for making your next holiday come more quickly.     The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde（协和客机）. That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.‎ ‎    It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground— disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be commercially used.‎ ‎    In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to commercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.‎ ‎    “As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be something that's acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA's commercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use.” ‎ ‎12. Why does the author mention Concorde? ‎ A. To suggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.‎ B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.‎ C. To introduce how a commercial plane is designed.‎ D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be commercially used.‎ ‎13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? ‎ A. The basic data of the new plane. B. The working principle of the new plane.‎ C. The problems of the new plane. D. The potential market of the new plane.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean? ‎ A. response          B. commitment        C. investment        D. agreement ‎15. Why does the author write the passage? ‎ A. Because he wants to inform people of NASA's new plane.‎ B. Because he wants to prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.‎ ‎ C. Because he wants to explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.‎ ‎ D. Because he wants to clarify some misunderstandings about commercial planes.‎ 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。‎ There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. 16 I'd say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here's why.‎ ‎ 17 ‎ ‎ Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don't go to your tomb with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.‎ The world is waiting on your gift ‎ I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! 18 Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don't deprive（使丧失） the world of your gift. It's the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what ‎ your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.‎ ‎ 19 ‎ You can dream of writing the great American play that you want, but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream of finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 20 They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!‎ A. You can't let fear win.‎ B. Tomorrow is not promised.‎ C. In other words, your dreams won’t be fulfilled unless you work.‎ D. Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you E. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?‎ F. Your dreams will never come true, unless you take the first step.‎ G. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada.
