河南省林州市第一中学2017-2018学年高二12月月考 英语试题 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力略 第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）‎ 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A I set out to change the lives of those who need help by joining my school’s newly formed Free The Children Club. Through the determination of friends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair, and I have become the leaders of the club.‎ Already, after only two years of fundraising, we have accumulated over three thousand dollars and almost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hour famine (饥饿) is planned resulting in absolutely no consumption (消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.‎ No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determine where our funds will be spent and donated. Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooks for every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.‎ Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but also first-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It does not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world.‎ ‎21. An annual 24-hour famine is held to ________.‎ A. help understand poor people better. B. draw people’s attention to the club.‎ C. call on people not to waste food. D. save food for hungry people.‎ ‎22. How to spend the raised money is based on the opinion of ________.‎ A. the donators B. the fundraisers C. the club leaders D. the majority of the club members ‎23. Why does the author write the text?‎ A. To introduce the Free The Children Club. B. To encourage people to change the world.‎ C. To present the serious outcomes of poverty. D. To show how to help poor people live better.‎ B Four cinemas in the ‎UK The Kinema, ‎Lincolnshire It’s a wooden building on the outside and a two-screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchairs (折叠帆布躺椅). Today, it’s more richly decorated.‎ ‎“People come here because it’s a fantastic experience,” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special.”‎ The Cube, ‎Bristol It’s not really a cinema. It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years.‎ They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt.‎ The Broadway, ‎Nottingham A cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, he designed the stripy(条纹的) sofas.‎ The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.‎ The Rex, Hertfordshire It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There’s a varied programme with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call.‎ People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run.‎ ‎24. In Philip Jones’ opinion, the Kinema may attract people who ________.‎ A. live in the nearby villages B. are fond of rich decorations C. are interested in wooden structures D. want to experience something special ‎25. We know from the text that the Broadway ________.‎ A. was built in 1960 B. owns a restaurant C. is next to a church D. was designed by Paul Smith ‎26. The Cube and the Broadway are similar in the way that they both ________.‎ A. are nonprofit cooperatives B. show arty foreign films C. offer homemade drinks D. use stripy sofas ‎27. Which of the following has the longest history?‎ A. The Kinema. B. The Cube.‎ C. The Broadway. D. The Rex.‎ C At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, ifs a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!‎ Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.‎ Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools eating noodles.‎ ‎ I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: crossing over the bridge noodles”.‎ I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles 1 had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?‎ ‎28. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?‎ A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand.‎ C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful.‎ ‎29. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ________.‎ A. taste B. look C. sip D. risk ‎30. The passage mainly tells us ________.‎ A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English ‎31. The passage is developed mainly in the form of ________.‎ A. examples and statements B. comparison and conclusion C. causes and effects D. time and description D ‎“Most people just don’t think there’s an environmental cost,” says social media researcher Danah Boyd.‎ It’s easy to understand the environmental cost of sending a letter. A tree is cut down to create the paper. A jet-fueled plane flies the envelope across the country. A postal service truck coughs out exhaust as the mail finally arrives at its destination.‎ Email, not so much.‎ But the so-called “cloud” — the networks of Internet servers on which many of us now store documents, contacts, photos and all sorts of digital information — has an environmental cost.‎ It’s difficult to get people to care about something so invisible. You just expect email to exist when you need it, whether you’re firing off a quick “thanks” to a colleague or searching for an old receipt for an online purchase. You might pay as much attention to this invisible network as, say, to the carbon emissions that come from buildings. Think of it this way: Ifs easy to note the exhaust coming out of a diesel truck, but who thinks about the impact of the four walls around them?‎ For that reason, Boyd suggests apps and tech services have the same sort of certification (证书) that the U.S. Green Building Council provides to eco-friendly structures.‎ Some companies have stepped up. Apple includes its facilities in its annual environmental responsibility report. Google has a page about the energy efficiency of its data centers. Facebook has posted video about its energy efficiency since as far back as 2011. But Amazon, arguably the biggest player in cloud-hosting services, has a very poor environmental record. Perhaps if the tech giant had a desirable LEED certification to work for, it would try to make a change soon.‎ ‎32. The environmental cost of which activity is often ignored?‎ A. Making paper B. Writing e-mails C. Delivering letters D. Developing photos ‎33. What is Boyd’s attitude towards the certification provided by the U.S. Green Building Council?‎ A. Positive B. Careless C. Critical D. Doubtful ‎34. Which company should be criticized?‎ A. Apple B. Google C. Amazon D. Facebook ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The advantage of “cloud” B. Hidden environmental costs C. What eco-friendly structures are D. How to count environmental costs E One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only ‎ for the day.‎ Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.‎ Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.‎ ‎“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.‎ The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.” Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”‎ ‎36. What did Tracy do after finding the dog?‎ A. She looked for its owner B. She gave it to Ann as a gift.‎ C. She sold it to the dollar store. D. She bought some food for it.‎ ‎37. How did the dog help save Jack?‎ A. By breaking the door for Ann. B. By leading Ann to Jack’s room.‎ C. By dragging Jack out of the room. D. By attending Jack when Ann was out.‎ ‎38. What was Ann’s attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?‎ A. Sympathetic B. Doubtful C. Tolerant D. Grateful ‎39. For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?‎ A. To help her friend’s son. B. To interview ‎Tracy C. To take back his dog. D. To return the flier to her.‎ ‎40. What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph?‎ A. It would be given to Odie. B. It would be kept by Ann5 family.‎ C. It would be returned to Peter. D. It would be taken away by Tracy.‎ 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。‎ Do you remember being told to keep your elbows off the table when you are eating? _41_ Back then, children weren’t even allowed to sit at the table. They stood behind the adults and ate whatever the adults gave them. ‎ Later, children were allowed to sit at the table, but they couldn’t speak unless an adult spoke to them. They couldn’t ask for a dish, either. _42_ It was also considered rude to look at someone else who was eating. ‎ Table manners are even older than tables. About 9,000 years ago, people cooked soups in pots. When they ate, they dipped spoons, made of wood or bone, into the cooking pot. Sometimes people didn’t use spoons. They just picked out pieces of meat with their fingers. ‎ ‎_43_ Some cultures still follow this custom. For example, some people use only the first three fingers of the right hand. In northern India, some diners use only the fingertips of the right hand, but in the south, it is acceptable to use both hands. ‎ Table manners became quite important in Europe in the 1100s. That was when people developed the idea of courtesy (礼貌). Soon rules about eating began appearing in written texts. ‎ In the 1300s, the Renaissance arrived in Europe. So did the fork. As new table customs developed, people began to eat from plates, and everyone had their own cup. People couldn’t throw bones on the floor anymore. _44_‎ Nowadays people use many simple table manners without thinking. But if you’re a guest, and you’re not sure what to do, just do what the host does and follow the basic principle of table manners: _45_‎ A. It was more polite to leave them on the plate. ‎ B. Eating with the fingers has never disappeared. ‎ C. They had to wait until an adult offered it to them. ‎ D. There are many other rules, especially at formal parties. ‎ E. Be thoughtful of others, and make dining as pleasant as possible. ‎ F. The rules were meant to make the dining experience pleasant and tidy. ‎ G. Well if you do, be grateful you weren’t a child of America’s early settlers.‎ 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 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）‎ Our teacher assigned “secret friends” for the coming week.
