辽宁省瓦房店市高级中学2018-2019学年高二10月月考英语试题

‎2018-2019学年度上学期瓦房店市高级中学十月份考试 ‎ 高二英语试卷 第I卷 （共70分） ‎ 第一部分：听力（略）‎ 第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）‎ A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A If you need to spend time on the road, it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet . Don't suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules , so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital.‎ Follow pedestrian(行人) signals. Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字), stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe, especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red．‎ Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue （发出）a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake.‎ Cross quickly. Once you've followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don't then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道) of traffic. There's no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.‎ ‎21. Who is the text intended for?‎ A. Drivers B. Cyclists C. Police D. Pedestrians ‎22.

The passage is likely to appear in ________.‎ A. a book review ‎ B. a science report C. a vehicle advertisement ‎ D. a sports magazine C In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.‎ But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I murmured something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record. ‎ I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech. ‎ Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.‎ Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining ‎ moments. 28. Why was the writer called a "brain"? A. She was the most intelligent student. B. She was the head of her small group. ‎ C. She was a bookworm all the time. D. She did more coursework for good grades. 29. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. She ruined her health by studying hard. B. She got the reward as was expected. C. She was grateful for giving a speech. D. She wasn't good at physics at school. 30. How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech?‎ A. Excited. ‎ B. Moved.‎ C. Scared.‎ D. Embarrassed 31. What did the speech bring to the author at last?‎ A. She had nothing to fear in life,‎ B. She won enough college credits.‎ C. She got rid of her sense of shyness.‎ D. She desired to become a speaker. ‎ D It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.‎ Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.‎ However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).‎ An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by        .‎ A. road conditions B. the speed of modern life C. the large number of cars D. the behavior of the drivers ‎33.In the writer’s opinion,        .‎ A. drivers should show road politeness properly.‎ B. strict traffic rules are badly needed C. unskillful drivers should be punished D. drivers should avoid traffic jams ‎34. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Road Politeness B. Traffic Problems C. Bad Manners on the Road D. Good Drivers and Bad Driver ‎35. According to the writer, a good driver should_______.‎ A. beat back when forced to face rude driving B. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to.‎ C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it D. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel ‎ 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。‎ How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives.__36__They’re more likely to ask ‎ for help and support from friends and family when they need it.
