巢湖市柘皋中学2017-2018学年度第一学期 高二第一次月考英语试卷 ‎ 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 一、听力 略 二．阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分)‎ A I was recently asked what inspires me most.That was easy to answer：I_live_and_breathe_track_and_field.It is the only sport that has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly.I have struggled a lot in my life after being diagnosed with a learning disability at the age of three.I was also born four months too early，weighing less than four pounds.Even at 17，I'm still working to catch up.Mentally I'm on the level of a 12yearold.I had to repeat the third and fifth grade，which caused me a lot of stress and embarrassment.‎ I was joked so much that I would often hide in the bathroom instead of going to class.My parents always gave me lots of love and support，but I still felt worthless most of the time.I'm also quite shy，so making and keeping friends has always been a challenge.‎ Then one day when I was 12，my life changed forever.My parents decided that my younger brother and I should try track.From that moment on my life was different.I was a natural middistance runner.When I was on the track，the other kids just saw me and my speed.No one saw my learning disability.For the first time in my life I felt normal.‎ When I entered high school，I joined the track team and the coach quickly saw my talent.I was selected to run on the A team for crosscounty and the A team for indoor and outdoor track.I'm on the school team for the 4×400meter and 4×800meter relays，and colleges are even interested in me!‎ My crosscounty team won the 2011 County and Regional Championship.When I accepted my award，my mom cried because she was so proud of me，and for once，I was proud of myself.‎ Even though I'm a specialeducation student，I now know that my learning ‎ disability does not define me.I can hold my head up high because track has allowed me to spread my wings and truly fly! ‎ ‎21．The underlined sentence in Para.1 may mean“________”．‎ A．I can easily breathe on the track B．track and field is where I live C．track and field is my life D．I take track and field as a sport ‎22．What is the problem with the writer?‎ A．He didn't want to make friends. B．He didn't get much love from his parents.‎ C．He weighed a little less than others. D．He had a poor learning ability.‎ ‎ 23．The first time the writer was on the track，he ________．‎ A．felt as normal as others B．was proud of himself C．was still a little shy D．treated himself as a hero ‎24．The best title for the passage may be “________”．‎ A．Fly in the Sky B．Spread My Wings C．Try Track Bravely D．Be an Honorable Student B Back when our children were small，who could have imagined what life would hold for them：pressures surrounding alcohol，drugs，and consequences.We recognize that our children's need for independence grows as they do.And talking about touchy(棘手的)subjects can be especially difficult when teens to tune_us_out．‎ Driving a teen to meet his/her friends may seem like an unpleasant thing，unless you recognize it as an opportunity to talk.Of course，you may have to get the conversation going.If you worry about losing control of the conversation，try to do something you both enjoy together，like cooking，hiking，or going to a concert or museum.‎ ‎“Before I discuss topics like alcohol or drugs with my son，”one father says，“I do a little homework.Often it's as simple as checking the phone book for hotlines or asking my doctor to recommend some pamphlets.If my son is not willing to discuss a touchy subject，I can still give him a number to call or an article to read.And，of course，I tell him I'm always available if he needs my help.”‎ Don't start a personal attack or hold a family conference to open a dialogue on a ‎ tough subject.No matter how serious the subject is，it's important not to be heavyhanded or much focus on your child.‎ Say you've read an article or heard about a troubling situation from a colleague or a friend.Share this information with your teenager; then ask his/her opinion rather than offering yours.Suppose you're discussing AIDS，and you can arouse your children's interest by asking：Do you believe it can't happen to you？Do your friends discuss AIDS among themselves？What are some strategies to stay safe？When a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together，he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.‎ ‎25．What's the purpose of the passage?‎ A．To explain what tough subjects involve in children.‎ B．To offer tips on how to talk about tough subjects with children.‎ C．To show the importance of children's tough subjects.‎ D．To give some examples on children's tough subjects.‎ ‎26．In the first paragraph，the underlined part “tune us out” can be explained as “________”．‎ A．go along well with us B．rely much on us C．understand what we said D．pay no attention to what we said ‎27．According to the passage，the father mentioned in the third paragraph may agree that ________．‎ A．parents should do certain research before talking about a serious subject with their children B．parents should avoid talking about such topics as alcohol and drugs with their children C．children should turn to their parents first if they need any help ‎ D．children should see a doctor or read a book if they meet with big health problems ‎28．In the case of discussing AIDS，what parents can do is to ________．‎ A．share opinions with their colleagues or friends B．inspire their children to express their ideas C．remind their children of the danger of it D．give their children as much advice as possible C Last night I had a long talk with my roommate.It was late at night and everywhere seemed so quiet.We wanted to share our feelings in that kind of atmosphere.We talked about our childhood，our present and future lives.I was so surprised when hearing my roommate Jenny's point of view.She thought that someone could also lead a happy life even if he or she just received high school education，because he or she could learn more useful things in society，compared to the university students.That shocked me very much.I was asked to study harder and harder，which is an undoubted fact.Life is too short while 16 years is too long.Lots of students' lives include hard work，lack of sleep and stress.And now，I'm admiring her opinion.In the future，we should first choose an easy life.We do not have to buy anything expensive; we just need warm families and healthy bodies.Forget all those terrible things.Why not spend time with our loved ones？Why would we waste our dear time in fighting for a hundred million dollars？We can never spend it all，can we?‎ ‎29．The people in this passage are most probably ________．‎ A．primary school students B．junior middle school students C．workers in a factory D．university students ‎30．The author was shocked by Jenny's words because ________．‎ A．Jenny didn't want to go to college B．Jenny's point of view was all new to the author C．Jenny's idea was the same as the author's D．Jenny knew what kind of future she wanted ‎31．What is an easy life according to the passage?‎ A．Expensive things and travels. B．A good future and suitable environment.‎ C．Warm families and good health. D．More money and knowledge.‎ ‎32．What did the author think of her past life as a student?‎ A．She thought it was boring and full of pains because no one understood her.‎ B．She thought she couldn't have finished it without others' help.‎ C．She thought she did nothing wrong through it and felt relaxed.‎ D．She thought she was forced to study and took great pains to get through it.‎ D Since the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people，and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.‎ Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.‎ So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.‎ Smog is especially a common concern.As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone，despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.‎ At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing.“After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop？It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life，”he said.‎ China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech.Every Chinese wants a stronger China. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless.Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.‎ What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China.Former president Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's resolution to address the environment issue.‎ ‎33．The effect of smog does NOT include ________．‎ A．the rising of PM2.5 readings B．more people suffering diseases C．the increase of people's income D．patients increased in hospital ‎34．Why has smog become a common concern?‎ A．Because people have to pay higher prices. B．Because nobody can avoid it.‎ C．Because we have to develop industry.‎ D．Because a popular onlinepost discussed it.‎ ‎35．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________．‎ A．hightech can completely solve the problem of pollution B．space technologies should be developed in a large scale C．we can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyed ‎ D．we must protect the environment while developing economy 三、信息匹配（七选五）‎ 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。‎ How do you enter a room full of strangers？Do you walk right in full of confidence？Or do you try to slip in without being noticed？__36__‎ In life，we admire those who do their tasks confidently.We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing.But where does that confidence begin?‎ Developing selfconfidence starts very early.It's parents' role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people.__37__That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths.Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks.When children make mistakes，their parents should still let them know that they are loved.Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults.__38__So what's the solution?‎ ‎●With most things in life，practice makes perfect，and that is true of confidence skills.__39__‎ ‎●Always hold your head high and look people in the eye.Answer questions clearly and confidently.‎ ‎●Focus on the things that you do well，and look for opportunities to use those abilities.‎ ‎●Prepare thoroughly for every project.You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready.‎ ‎●__40__ It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest.Remind yourself ‎ that one success often leads to the next.‎ However，all humans fail at times，and you will too.Even with efforts to try all the above，you will never be perfect.But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.‎ A．Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success.‎ B．The more you practice them，the easier they will become.‎ C．The way you go into new situations shows your level of selfconfidence.‎ D．Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence.‎ E．To help that process，parents should always offer more praise than criticism.‎ F．Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.‎ G．But selfconfidence still doesn't come easily.‎ 四、完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ Perhaps forty years ago Sadie left her drunk and violent husband.Needing shelter for herself and her young son she took a
