英语卷·2018届河南省南阳市第一中学校高二上期第三次月考（2016-12）

南阳市第一中学2016-2017学年高二上学期第三次月考 英语试题 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节阅读理解（共15小题，满分30分）‎ A ‎ I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.‎ There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻)against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.‎ Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点)where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.‎ While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫)all the time, but to her calf it was music.‎ ‎1. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw______.‎ A. the calf was about to fall into the river B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock C. the calf was washed away by the rising water D. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water ‎2. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?‎ A. By putting it on a safe spot.     B. By pressing it against her body.‎ C. By taking it away with her.      D. By carrying it on her back.‎ ‎3. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant's roaring?‎ A. It was a great comfort.     　 B. It was a sign of danger.‎ C. It was a call for help.  　   　 D. It was a musical note.‎ ‎4. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Mother's Love  B. A Brave Act  ‎ C. A  Deadly River D. A Matter of Life and Death B ‎ I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.‎ ‎ I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories (卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.‎ ‎ But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. ‎ Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.‎ So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.‎ ‎5. The word “leftovers” in paragraph 1 probably means  ______.‎ A. food remaining after a meal            B. things left undone C. meals made of vegetables             D. pizza topped with fruit ‎6. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.‎ B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.‎ C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.‎ D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.‎ ‎7. According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.‎ A. eat something for breakfast      B. be careful about what you cat C. heat up food before eating it      D. cat calorie-controlled food ‎8. The text is written mainly for those _______.‎ ‎ A. who go to work early            B. who want to lose weight C. who stay up late                D. who eat before sleep C ‎ Domestic(驯养的)horses now pull ploughs, race in the Kentucky Derby, and carry police. But early horses weren’t tame(驯服的)enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.‎ Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.‎ As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals' genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these chosen characteristics.‎ Modern-day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds — typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts （矿井）with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.‎ The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry ‎ heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.‎ ‎9. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show        .‎ ‎     A. it is smaller than the Clydesdale horse ‎     B. horse used to have gentle personalities ‎     C. some horses have better shaped than others ‎     D. horses were of less variety before domestication ‎10. Horses contributed to the spread of culture by           .‎ ‎     A. carrying heavy loads ‎     B. changing farming methods ‎     C. serving as a means of transport ‎     D. advancing agriculture in different areas ‎11.The passage is mainly about _       .‎ ‎     A. why humans domesticated horses ‎     B. how humans and horses needed each other ‎     C. why horses came in different shapes and sizes ‎     D. how human societies and horses influenced each other D ‎ Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. since research has shown that the bigger the brain ,the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter ,the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.‎ It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same ‎ time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.‎ ‎   There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: Why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!‎ ‎   The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.‎ ‎   If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it,” says a biologist.‎ ‎12. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?‎ ‎   A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s.‎ ‎   B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.‎ ‎   C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.‎ ‎   D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.‎ ‎13. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?‎ ‎   A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.‎ ‎   B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.                                                                 ‎ ‎   C. Women do not need to tell directions.‎ ‎   D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.‎ ‎14. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?‎ ‎   A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.‎ ‎   B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.‎ ‎   C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.‎ ‎   D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.‎ ‎15. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?‎ A. Defensive.           B. Persuasive.          C. Supportive.             D. Objective.‎ 第二节 七选五（共5小题，满分10分）‎ Kids in the Kitchen Some experts serve up some of the factors that make cooking with kids a pleasure rather than a struggle.‎ ‎____16 ‎ For obvious reasons, a grown-up needs to be in charge of the stove, sharp knives and electrical equipment. Dr. Colker advises parents to be watchful, even when their kids are involved in relatively safe tasks. The bottom line is to stay close by, and teach your kids to respect basic safety rules.                                                                ‎ Leave Time                                                                              ‎ ‎__17   When kids help, you’ll need extra time to teach them some skills. When you're in a hurry, give your kids tasks that don't require much guidance. As they get older and develop more skills, they will become wonderful helpers and even save your time!                                                                                           ‎ Go for Variety                                                                                    ‎ Our experts agree that children can enjoy more than the usual "kid food", such as chicken nuggets and pizza. __ 18   Sandra K. Nissenberg suggests exploring the produce passage in the supermarket and talking about the unusual fruits and vegetables you find.‎ Involve Kids in Clean-up and Table-setting Dr. Laura Colker reminds parents that preschoolers are eager to deal with grown-up tasks. They actually "enjoy the clean-up and table-setting activities", she says. __ 19__They may also enjoy setting the table and counting the spoons.‎ Make Cooking a Learning Adventure Cooking helps kids develop a healthy interest in the lifelong challenge of eating nourishing（有营养的）, delicious meals. Kids learn about science when they heat or cool a mixture and observe how it changes.  20   And as they wait for the timer to ring, they develop a better understanding of the concept of time.‎ A．Most young children can easily handle simple kitchen equipment.                            ‎ B．Cooking with young children requires patience.‎ C．Measuring ingredients teaches kids about fractions（分数）.‎ D．Kids can and should help wash and dry the pots and pans.‎ E．Keep an Eye on Safety.‎ F．Stay Equipped.‎ G．To introduce new foods, involve your kids in menu planning and shopping.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（一）（满分30分）‎ ‎ One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking up at the tiled(铺瓦的)ceiling and concentrating on the space where on tile is 21 .‎ ‎ Once I heard a bald(秃顶的)man said, "Whenever I enter a room, 22 I see is hair." Once you've __23__what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 24 make you happy.

All happy people are __30__. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 31 , but it’s true to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.‎ The second secret is __32__that happiness is a result of something else. The more obvious 33 are those pursuits that give our lives purpose—anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more 34 we have, the more happiness we are 35 to experience.‎ ‎ 36 , the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our existence has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 37 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life.‎ Whatever your philosophy is, it should 38 this truth: if you choose to find the positive in every situation, you will be 39 , and if you choose to find the awful, you will be affected.
