英语卷·2018届黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市第八中学高三12月月考（2017-12）

齐齐哈尔第八中学2018届高三第四次月考 英语试题 命题人: 李庆明 审题人: 杨丽丽 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，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 Countries may be ranked by many various groups, such as how expensive or interesting they are to foreign tourists. They can also be ranked by their openness and friendliness toward visitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.‎ Mongolia Mongolia‎ was closed for quite some time and opened up to foreigners only 20 years ago. That’s probably the major reason why it is not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with huge spacious areas of land that are low populated. There local people are not yet used to being visited by foreign guests.‎ Slovakia There are, undoubtedly, pluses as well as minuses in every country. Slovakia is not the perfect destination for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Slovakia is becoming more and more similar to the rest of European countries surrounding it. Sameness is not the best quality. As a rule, tourists want to travel and see things they have never seen before. It is good that the land’s countryside is still unique, although it is also being commercialized day by day.‎ Iran Iran‎ is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Pakistan with its negative political atmosphere. Western visitors are not welcome over there and embassies (大使馆) advise against traveling to Iran. The population, contrary to the country’s government, consists of very friendly and welcoming people.‎ Kuwait In Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique history, plenty of traditions and customs. People respect their culture and are very religious. It is a Muslim country, which means that you are not allowed to drink alcohol. If you happen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan, you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.‎ Russia Russia‎ is truly a special place. It is definitely worth visiting. What you might not find attractive is the corruption and bureaucracy (官僚主义) that rule in some certain official circles. Another nuisance you should be ready for is that, as a visitor, you’ll be asked to receive an invitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once you arrive in Russia, you’ll be warmly greeted and accepted by the local people.‎ ‎1. You’ll meet friendly people in the following countries except in _____.‎ A. Iran B. Kuwait C. Mongolia D. ‎Russia ‎2. Which of the statements is true according to the text?‎ A. You can apply for a visa for Russia at will.‎ B. If you’re fond of drinking, then Kuwait is not an ideal destination.‎ C. You’re not advised to travel in Iran due to its high cost.‎ D. Mongolia is a beautiful country with much experience in hosting tourists....‎ ‎3. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ A. A news report B. A lecture speech C. An advertisement D. A text book B A stylish detective bursts into a secret villa and finds huge amounts of cash in fridges, closets and beds. Meanwhile, the villa’s owner, a government official, crawls on the floor and begs for his life.‎ This is the dramatic opening scene in China’s latest TV show, In the Name of the People, which made its remarkable first show last month. The series, about China’s anti-corruption (反贪) campaign, has attracted millions of viewers across the country. Some have compared it to the American political drama, House of Cards, which has a huge Chinese following.‎ In the Name of the People describes the internal power struggle of the Chinese Communist Party in the fictional city of Jingzhou, featuring stories about Chinese politics that are often talked about but never seen on mainstream television.‎ Viewers have been lapping it up. “This TV drama feels so real. It really cheers people up,” one viewer wrote on social media network Weibo. “I shed tears after watching this drama. This is the tumor of corruption that has been harming the people,” said another Weibo commenter. What makes In the Name of the People remarkable is not just how frankly it describes the ugly side of Chinese politics, but that it also has the blessing of the country’s powerful top prosecutors’ office (最高检察机关).‎ More than a decade ago, anti-corruption dramas suddenly disappeared from Chinese television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping took power in 2012 and launched a sweeping campaign against graft (受贿), anti-corruption got back in vogue. In the Name of the People is thus the latest piece, publicizing the government’s victory in its anti-corruption campaign.‎ At least it does a decent job in entertaining viewers. The author said he aimed to show that corrupt officials were not all “monsters” and were real people, but at the end of the day, the good people always win. “We all badly need heroes, upright law-enforcing heroes like Hou Liangping,” he said.‎ ‎4. In paragraph 1, the description of the opening scene is used to _____.‎ A. make a comparison B. show the style of this drama C. draw reader’s attention D. make a conclusion ‎5. In the Name of the People and House of Cards have something in common because _____.‎ A. they both have a large group of followers ‎ B. they are both played on mainstream television C. they both touch political and economic areas D. they are both supported by the government ‎6. The purpose of this text is to _____.‎ A. show different opinions on In the Name of the People B. analyze government’s policy of anti-corruption...‎ C. compare In the Name of the People with House of Cards D. introduce the latest TV series In the Name of the People ‎7. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. China Won Victory in Anti-corruption Campaign B. China embraces TV Corruption Drama C. How Do TV Series Attract Viewers?‎ D. Why Are Corruption Dramas Popular?‎ C Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.‎ It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.‎ Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”‎ In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.‎ The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.‎ Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.‎ ‎8. Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?‎ A. A 10-year-old girl from a key school B. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family C. A 17-year-old boy from a rich family D. A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school ‎9. Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.‎ A. a drop in academic performance B. a lack of trust in other people C. a drop in the sense of depression D. a lack of confidence in themselves...‎ ‎10. We can learn from the text that _____.‎ A. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder B. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the media C. students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-free D. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school ‎11. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Bullying affects half of students B. Negative effects on children caused by bullying C. Is anything we can do about bullying? D. The reasons for bullying on campus D You open your eyes and mouth wide if you see a live rat in your bedroom but you wrinkle your nose and narrow your eyes if you see a dead one in the road. Why is that? Facial expressions are usually thought of as simple tools of communication. But in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, Charles Darwin proposed that they may prepare us to react to different situations when he noticed that some expressions seemed to be used across cultures and even species. Now Joshua Susskind and his colleagues at the University of Toronto, Canada, have put that idea to the test.‎ Susskind’s team wondered whether the expressions of fear might improve how sensory (感官的) information is acquired and so sharpen senses. Conversely disgust (厌恶) might weaken the senses, sheltering us from unpleasant sights and smells.‎ The researchers asked volunteers to complete various tests while holding a fearful, disgusted or neutral expression. In one test, they had to identify when a spot entered their sight. In another they were required to shift their focus as quickly as possible between two targets on a computer screen. It was also measured how much air the volunteers breathed in while expressing fear and disgust.‎ In each case the wide-eyed faces let significantly more of the world in. Volunteers with wide-open eyes detected surrounding objects more quickly and performed side-to-side eye movements faster. They also took in more air with each breath without any extra effort. An MRI ‎ (核磁共振) scan showed the nasal cavity (鼻腔) was enlarged while volunteers held this expression, which could be linked with a greater ability to absorb smells.‎ ‎“These changes confer the idea that fear, for example, is a posture towards sensory sharpening while disgust a posture towards sensory rejection,” says Susskind. His team is already at work on experiments to explore to what extent the brain can use this extra information to enhance performance.‎ ‎12. Charles Darwin’s book proposed that facial expressions might _____.‎ A. act as a simple tool of communication B. get people ready to the changes of circumstances C. be difficult to understand in different cultures D. equip people with the knowledge of other species ‎13. In Joshua Susskind’s research, the researchers _____.‎ A. wondered whether there existed other expressions of fear B. wanted subjects to use facial expressions to complete tests...‎ C. wanted to test how much air subjects breathed in normally D. wondered whether expressions of disgust weakened our senses ‎14. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that _____.‎ A. wide-eyed expressions would help you understand the world better B. facial expressions might result in faster eye movements C. wide-eyed expressions would help people breathe in more air D. facial expressions might help people notice more things around ‎15. In the last paragraph, what might be the new thinking of facial expressions?‎ A. They might tell the brain how to make use of the facial information.‎ B. They might explain why people consider fear as a posture towards sharper senses.‎ C. They might provide extra information to brains thus enhancing performance.‎ D. They might clarify the relationship between brain and environments.‎ 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。‎ Punctuation (标点) Is for Clarity When you talk, you do not depend upon words alone to tell your listener what you mean. ‎ ‎___16___ You shrug a shoulder, raise an eyebrow, clasp hands, bend forward or backward, stamp your foot, nod or shake your head. These body languages may vary from culture to culture but they do help the speakers to convey meanings. ___17___ You yell or whisper; speak calmly or angrily; lower or raise your voice at the end of a statement or a question. Meaning in talk is also affected by pauses and silence, which are often as significant as words themselves. ___18___‎ Similarly, when we write, we cannot expect words alone to make clear to our reader what we have in mind. The pauses, stresses and gestures which occur in speech must be represented in writing by various marks of punctuation if meaning is to be fully clear. ___19___‎ Punctuation came into existence only for the purpose of making clear the meaning of writing words. Every mark of punctuation is a sort of road sign provided to help the reader along his way.___20___ It is harmful or ineffective if it interrupts the flow of thought from your mind to that of your readers.‎ A. Each of us has probably seen a skilled actor convey ideas and moods without using any words at all.‎ B. The practice of punctuation, however, has been changing in the last two centuries.‎ C. Facial and body gestures can and do add much to the words themselves.‎ D. The needs of the eye are quite different from those of the ear.‎ E. Additionally, the tones and stress of your voice can and do influence the meanings of words ‎ you speak.‎ F. Punctuation began to become standard in the middle of the 19th century....‎ G. Punctuation is effective if it helps the reader to understand.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 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 don’t know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice at a young age.
