‎2018-2019学年山东省微山县第二中学高二上学期第一次月考英语试卷 ‎ 注意：本试卷共8页,满分100分,时间90分钟 第I卷 （共50分）‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共15小题, 满分30分）‎ ‎ A To the west and off the European Continent, there are several thousands of islands on the Continental shelf(大陆架). They are generally called the British Isles. Of all these isles, the largest one is called Great Britain. For convenience, it is often shortened to Britain. Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(UK) is made up of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands around them. The total area of the country is some 240,000 square kilometers with a population of about 57 million.‎ Great Britain runs nearly 1,000 kilometers from south to north and extends, at the widest part, about 500 kilometers from west to east. Its area is some 230,000 square kilometers. Great Britain is traditionally divided into three parts, or countries：England in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the southwest. There are discernible(可辨别的) differences between them even now.‎ England is the largest and most developed of all the three. Its area, about 130,000 square kilometers, takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. Its population is more than 46 million which makes up 85% of the country’s whole population. The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say“England” when they mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English ‎ who are the majority in the United Kingdom.‎ Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. It has an area of about 78,760 square kilometers, less than 30% of the whole island, with a population of 5 million, less than onetenth of the whole population.‎ Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. In area, 20,700 square kilometers, makes up less than 9% while its population, 2.7 million, does not exceed(超过)5% of the whole.‎ 1. The British Isles is made up of ________.‎ A. the European Continent and Great Britain B. the UK. and the Republic of Ireland C. England, Scotland and Wales D. several thousands of islands to the west and off the European Continent 2. Which of the following figures shows the correct position of Great Britain?‎ 3. We can infer that Great Britain has a population of about ________ million.‎ A. ‎54 B. 46 C. 60 D. 57‎ B You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams(18601935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson (19071964)‎ If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O'Connor (1930present)‎ When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks (19132005)‎ On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott(抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civilrights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.‎ ‎4. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A. Her teaching skills. B. Her efforts to win a prize.‎ C. Her community background. D. Her social work.‎ ‎5. Who made a great contribution to the civilrights movement in the U.S.?‎ A. Jane Addams. B. Rosa Parks.‎ C. Rachel Carson. D. Sandra Day O'Connor.‎ ‎6. What was the reason for O’Connor’ s being rejected by the law firm? ‎ A. The discrimination against women. B. Her lack of proper training in law. ‎ C. Her little work experience in court. D. The poor financial conditions.‎ ‎7. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?‎ A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.‎ C. They are peacelovers. D. They are pioneers.‎ C In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because ‎ the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.‎ But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.‎ So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.‎ Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.‎ As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.‎ ‎8. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?‎ A. The countryside is much poorer than the city.‎ B. People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.‎ C. People in the countryside have nothing to eat.‎ D. Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.‎ ‎9. After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy because ________.‎ A. they can't make much money B. there isn't much work for them to do in the countryside C. some people in the countryside aren't always very friendly to them D. A, B and C ‎10. The best title of this passage may be________.‎ A. A happy life! B. Moving out or moving back?‎ C. Living in the city! D. Living in the countryside!‎ ‎11. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________‎ A. they miss their friends in the countryside B. they are happy to move back to the city C. they still want to move to the countryside D. they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city D Scotland has long been characterized as a land of romance. It contains ruins of many ancient castles, and there is an attractive beauty in its mountains, long deep valleys, and ribbon lakes. Each year those things attract a great number of tourists.‎ Numerous islands line the coast. In the north are two large groups, the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. Close to the west coast are the Inner and Outer Hebrides groups, and the islands of Arran and Bute.‎ The land may be divided into three regions: the Highlands in the north, the Central Lowlands and the Southern Uplands.‎ The Highlands are wild and picturesque(如画的). A long valley called Glenmore crosses the Highlands from southwest to northeast.‎ In the south of the Highlands are the Grampian Mountains, highest in the British Isles. Ben Nevis, the highest peak, rises to 1,243 meters. Ben Lomond rises from the shore of Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest freshwater lake.‎ The Central Lowlands run from southwest to northeast and the greatest length is nearly 145 kilometers. The soil here is fertile, and there are four coalfields underlying the area. In the east is Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital city, and in the west is Glasgow. Almost 90 percent of Scotland's population live in the Lowlands.‎ In the Southern Uplands, the hills are generally less than 600 meters high. Their rounded or flat tops are often capped with dark peat(泥炭). Along the slopes are plants like grass and heather(石南花). ‎ 12.
