A US accent, perhaps imitates(模仿) a Hollywood star speaker? Or maybe you want to imitate the British accent of a BBC news reader?‎ Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex(异性)! Let’s listen to what they have to say.‎ Stephen Yang,17,from ‎London‎, ‎UK A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl-next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle(感觉) that is really fashionable. A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.‎ To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics(特征) and lifestyles of the people.‎ Jennifer Sun,16,from New Jersey, US From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot(好感) for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.‎ Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.‎ The English accent seems almost like art.‎ ‎21.In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show 　　　. ‎ A. the beauty of the language B. how the language is spoken C. the fashion of the day D. the cultural differences of the speakers ‎22.The underlined word “cute” in Paragraph 3 probably means 　　　. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A. strange B. exciting C. attractive D. fashionable ‎23.Many American girls watch Harry Potter again and again in order to 　　　. ‎ A. learn the acting skills of these stars B. imitate the actors’ accents C. learn the magic performed by Harry Potter D. know more about British English ‎ B Saturday,11 July,1942‎ Dear Kitty,‎ Daddy, Mummy and Margot can’t get used to the sound of the Westertoren clock yet, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour. I can. I loved it from the start, and especially in the night it’s a faithful friend. I expect you will be interested to hear what it feels like to “disappear”; well, all I can say is that I don’t know myself yet. I don’t think I shall ever feel really at home in this house, but that does not mean that I hate it here. It is more like being on vacation in a very strange boarding house. Rather a mad idea, perhaps, but that is how it strikes me. The “Secret Annexe” is an ideal hiding place. Although it is damp(潮湿的), you’d never find such a comfortable hiding place anywhere in the whole of Holland. Our little room looked very empty at first with nothing on the walls; but thanks to Daddy who had brought my film-star collection and picture postcards on beforehand, and with the aid of paste pot(糨糊) and brush, I have changed the walls into one big picture.‎ Margot and Mummy are a little bit better now. Mummy felt well enough to cook some soup for the first time yesterday, but then forgot all about it, while she was downstairs talking, so the peas were burned to a cinder and refused to leave the pan. I went to the private office yesterday evening and turned on the radio. I was so terribly frightened that someone might hear it that I simply begged Daddy to come upstairs with me. Mummy understood how I felt and came too. We are very nervous in other ways, too, that the neighbors might hear us or see something going on. We made curtains straight away on the first day. ‎ Someone is calling me.‎ Yours,‎ Anne ‎24.What did Anne do with the walls?‎ A. She painted them white with the help of her dad. ‎ B. She decorated them with picture postcards.‎ C. She drew colorful pictures on them. ‎ D. She covered them with old curtains.‎ ‎25.What can we know about Anne according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. She disliked the hiding place. B. She disliked the Westertoren clock.‎ C. She missed her hometown in Holland. D. She tried to make the room more homelike.‎ ‎26.What does the underlined part “were burned to a cinder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. The peas were overcooked. B. The peas were served slowly.‎ C. The peas tasted strange. D. The peas looked ugly.‎ ‎27.Which of the following words can best describe Anne?‎ A. Careful and helpful. B. Creative and patient.‎ C. Adaptable and sensitive. D. Warm-hearted and easy-going. ‎ C Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.‎ Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.‎ Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.‎ This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some ‎ stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which a woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存).In some ways, she lives in my house.‎ Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.‎ That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. ‎ ‎28.According to the author, the woman was probably 　　　. ‎ A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past ‎29.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?‎ A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.‎ C. The woman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight in that summer day.‎ ‎30.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections(反思) upon 　　　. ‎ A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship 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 to Make a Chinese Hotpot Eating a Chinese hotpot is a very common experience. People gather around the pot, dipping their food, mixing their own seasonings(调味品)and enjoying each other's company. 　31    . ‎ Firstly, prepare a large pot of soup. There is no right or wrong way to prepare a soup, so feel free to make your own. A simple soup can be made by boiling water with the addition of meat bones or fish heads and a mixture of herbs, seasonings and vegetables. ‎ Then, cut a variety of meats and fish into thin slices. 　32    . Choose any food that you enjoy. Some common choices for a Chinese hotpot include thin pieces of beef, pork, lamb and so on. Meanwhile, select, wash and prepare some vegetables. 　33    .Mushrooms of all kinds are also common to Chinese hotpot preparations. ‎ ‎　34    . At home, a single hotpot would work well up to 4—8 people depending on the size of the pot. Make sure everyone is sitting in a circle and has easy access to everything on the table. Prepare a separate small dish for each guest to mix their seasonings. 　35    ! ‎ A. It will guarantee that the items will cook quickly and fully ‎ B. Here are some easy steps to make a Chinese hotpot at home ‎ C. For more varieties, consider dumplings, rice cakes and tangyuan ‎ D. Popular choices include: cabbage, pea leaves and potatoes ‎ E. It usually lasts a couple of hours because you are cooking and eating in small parts ‎ F. Finally, arrange the seating reasonably ‎ G. Now comes the turn to enjoy your hotpot ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分40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, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I went there in 1924, no local planes in those days, so I made the trip by bus.

However, many teens are unwilling to start a hobby. We may ignore some great hobbies for teens already. If you're a parent, you just need to recognize and provide that interest for your teen, you can guide your teen to explore their interests and take up their perfect hobbies. ‎ One way to help a teenager take up a hobby is to ask them what makes them feel good. Many teens may only focus on their weaknesses or things they have failed in. Instead ,they should devote themselves to(专心致志于) anything that they enjoy doing or that makes them happy. For example, a teen may be interested in music, sports, computers, crafting, role playing games or science. As long as he feels good while doing it, it can turn into a hobby. ‎ Maybe a teen has been wanting to try something for a long time.Don't ask “ What do you want to do? ” because it's a too broad question. You should ask “ What would you like to do today? ” or “ What do you want to do this weekend? ” you might also try saying “Let's do something you're interested in today. What would you like to do” if your teen wants to cook or likes to be outside,, you may be close to figuring out(弄明白) a good hobby for them. ‎ Teenagers spend much of their life away from the eyes of parents and don't always offer information about it. As a result, sometimes adults are not totally aware that adolescents(青少年) are developing hobbies. A child may be developing his own hobbies away from home，so you may not have to encourage them to adopt（采用） new ones. Instead, you can support their current (当前的) hobbies.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第五部分 书面表达 假定你是李华，圣诞节期间你到美国旅游，住在笔友Mike家，回国后，请给他写一封感谢信，内容包括：‎ 1. 表示感谢；‎ 2. 邀请他来中国过春节。‎ 注意：‎ 1. 词数100左右；‎ 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（温馨提醒：请将第二卷答案直接填在试卷第9页答题卷上）‎ 连城一中2019-2020学年上学期第一次月考 高一英语答题卷 第三部分 英语知识运用 第二节 语法填空（每小题1分，共10分）‎ ‎56 ____________ 57_____________ 58____________ 59_____________ 60 ____________ ‎ ‎61 ____________ 62_____________ 63 ____________ 64_____________ 65____________‎ 第三节 完成句子（共10题，每题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎66 ___________ 67_____________ 68 ____________ 69_____________ 70 ____________‎ ‎71._______________________ 72.______________________ 73._____________________‎ ‎74.__________________________ 75. _________________________‎ 第四部分 写作 (共两节, 满分40分)‎ 第一节 概要写作（满分15分）‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第五部分 书面表达 假定你是李华，圣诞节期间你到美国旅游，住在笔友Mike家，回国后，请给他写一封感谢信，内容包括：‎ 1. 表示感谢；‎ 2. 邀请他来中国过春节。‎ 注意：‎ 1. 词数100左右；‎ 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 连城一中2019-2020学年上学期第一次月考 参考答案 听力：1-10 AABBA BCAAB 11-20 BAABC AACCB 阅读理解：21-23 DCB 24-27 BDAC 28-30 ACA ‎ 七选五：31-35 BADFG 完形填空：36-45 AACAC CCABC 46-55 CAAAC ABABA 语法填空：56.is coming　57.what　58.choose　59.taking　60.that　61.to spend　62.the　63.our　64.useful 65.places 完成句子：66.concerned 67.ignored 68.outdoors 69.latter 70.fluent ‎ ‎71.recover from 72.Calm down 73.is based on 74.play an…part/role in 75.than ever before ‎ 概要写作：‎ 要点一[Having a hobby is helpful for teenagers so parents should help them take up a suitable one.] 要点二[Firstly, parents should help teenagers fix their attention on their favorite things.] 要点三[ Secondly, parents should avoid asking teenagers broad questions and instead ask specific ones.] 要点四[Lastly, parents should support the hobbies teenagers have already had.]‎ 书面表达：‎ One possible version:‎ Dear Mike, ‎ I am writing to express my thanks to you and your parents for your kindness and hospitality when I was in America. ‎ The celebration of Christmas Day with you gave me a chance to learn about your culture.
