石家庄实验中学高一英语月考试卷 ‎ 命题人：高一英语组 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共25分）‎ A I had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain‎ ‎Park with my twin grandsons. I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions. One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn't a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top, but for two 5-year-olds, along with Grandpa, it's a formidable task.‎ Since my grandsons' enthusiasm was much greater than mine, I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual. It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance, but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal1 of mine, so I found myself walking ahead of them, then having to stop and let them catch up, over and over again.‎ I was tired and sweaty, just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back. I learned early during our walk that this wasn't going to be the case. We had to stop and look at every large rock with someone’s name carved in it. We looked at unusual plant formations. We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves. My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure. Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain; they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk.‎ I know when I face a trial in life, I tend to always think of the problem. I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal. What can I learn during the course of trial? At some point, the trial will be over and we'll be joyous for sure.‎ However, the real joy should not be that the trial’s over, but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey.‎ ‎1. What does the underlined word "formidable" in Paragraph 1mean?‎ A. Relaxing. B. Meaningful. C. Strange. D. Difficult.‎ ‎2. What can we know from Paragraph 2?‎ A. The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.‎ B. Old as the writer was, he walked much faster than his grandsons.‎ C. The writer and his grandsons walked up the mountain very fast at the beginning.‎ D. The writer was more eager to climb to the top of the mountain than his grandsons.‎ ‎3. Why did the writer only want to reach the mountain top?‎ A. To have a good rest. B. To get a better view.‎ C. To enjoy unusual plants. D. To see large rocks carved with names.‎ ‎4. What can be the best title of the text?‎ A. A tiring day spent with grandsons B. Joy coming from mountain-climbing C. A life lesson learnt from grandsons D. Learning to enjoy the journey ‎ B ‎ Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper---a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ ‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎5. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker D. A beekeeper.‎ ‎6. The honey guide is special in the way____________.‎ A. it gets its food B. it goes to church C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees' nests ‎7. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper C ‎ Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.‎ ‎ If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.‎ ‎ Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’ t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.‎ ‎ If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达)of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.‎ ‎ When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.‎ ‎ This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice ‎ enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.‎ ‎ Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.‎ ‎8. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.‎ A. more difficult B. easier ‎ C. more uninteresting D. more interesting ‎9. The example in this passage proves that ___________.‎ A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her ‎ B. Sophie is very polite to her parents C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late ‎ D. communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding ‎10. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.‎ A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know ‎ B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away ‎ D. Communication is a two-way deal ‎7选5（每小题2分，共10分）‎ Losing weight is tough.
