张掖二中2018—2019学年度第一学期月考试卷（10月）‎ 高二英语（英才、育才）‎ 命题人：杨红梅 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分。)‎ 第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分。)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Mr. Jackson lived in the centre of London but he had a hotel near the airport. There a lot of foreigners stayed for night. He didn't know any other language but English and he found it difficult for him to understand the foreign visitors. ‎ Sometimes he had to use the body language to “talk” with them, and tried his best to make himself understood. But he was often misunderstood and it brought him a lot of trouble. A friend of his who learned a few foreign languages in a university would teach him. He was happy and studied hard. At first he learned some, but soon he found it wasn't easy to remember the words and expressions. His friend advised him to write down the useful expressions in his notebook so that he could use them when necessary. He did as he was told. He found it helpful for him to do so. [ One evening there were plenty of people in the dining room. They were all busy eating something except a Japanese. He was walking around there and waiting for his wife who was dressing herself up upstairs. Mr. Jackson thought to himself, “The man wants to eat something but he doesn’t know any English. Let me help him.” As he knew only a little Japanese, he had to bring out his notebook and showed it to the man, pointing to the sentence “I’m hungry”.‎ The Japanese had a look at it and gave him two pounds and left. ‎ ‎1. Mr. Jackson knew only English because____ . ‎ A. he was an English student ‎ B. he had never been abroad ‎ C. he couldn't learn by himself ‎ D. he hadn't studied any foreign languages ‎ ‎2. As not all foreigners understood his gestures, sometimes Mr. Jackson ____ to communicate with ‎ them. ‎ A. succeeded B. feared C. failed D. gave up ‎ ‎3. The Japanese thought ____ , so he gave him two pounds. ‎ A. Mr. Jackson was a beggar (乞丐) B. Mr. Jackson was a translator ‎ C. Mr. Jackson could help him D. Mr. Jackson could ring his wife up B Sharing E Umbrella, a new umbrella sharing company based in Shenzhen, China, recently ‎ announced that it had lost most of the 300, 000 umbrellas since it was set up.‎ China‎'s sharing economy has been growing rapidly, with companies offering anything from bicycles and basketballs to phone batteries for people to rent. Customers make a small deposit（押金）and get to use the thing for a daily cost, with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It's a simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.‎ Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was relatively simple, as they were made available（可得到的）at bus and subway stations, the return system turned out to be a different matter. "Umbrellas are different from bicycles, "Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site ThePaper.cn. "Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on. "‎ So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas. Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet. Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year.‎ ‎4. What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella？‎ A. It makes people learn to help each other.‎ B. It needs people to make a small deposit first.‎ C. It developed faster in the western countries.‎ D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.‎ ‎5. What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded？‎ A. The company had no money to produce umbrellas.‎ B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.‎ C. Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.‎ D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.‎ ‎6. We can infer from the last paragraph that　 　.‎ A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas back B. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing service C. Most of Zhao's companies have been closed D. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for Zhao.‎ C Hippos（河马）have always attracted people's interest. Modern hippos in Walt Disney movies can dance lightly. A stone hippo in a 13th-century church in France has wings. And in ancient Egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld.‎ Despite their popular appeal, hippos, as well as other animals, have difficulty when their needs ‎ conflict with those of humans. The early Egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. Amulets（护身符）to protect babies from demons（恶魔）were made from hippo bones.‎ About 4,000 years ago, there were so many hippos in Egypt that they caused serious crop damage. Egyptian farmers killed them routinely, and by the beginning of the 19th century, all the hippos in Africa had been killed.‎ People used to see hippos fight in the arenas（角斗场）of ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, hippos weren't seen in Europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid 1800s.‎ All the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly. Where they do occur, mostly in national parks, they live in such high density that they make the grasslands bare. This causes other grass-eating animals to go farther for food, and hippos, which can't live far from water, destroy their own feeding grounds. ‎ ‎7. In Africa, hippos became extinct _____.‎ A. around the 1850s B. in the 13th century C. about 4,000 years ago D. in the early 19th century ‎8. Apart from protecting crops, what's the main reason for people to kill hippos?‎ A. To save other animals. ‎ B. To satisfy personal demands.‎ C. To look for guidance after death. ‎ D. To follow the routine established by the Egyptians.‎ ‎9. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.‎ A. concentration B. altitude C. level D. temperature ‎10. What problems do hippos lead to?‎ A. They eat up the grass in their habitats. ‎ B. They always destroy other animals' food.‎ C. They stop other animals from drinking water. ‎ D. They grow too quickly for the land to support. ‎ 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。(请将答案涂在71-75处)‎ A research has discovered that your gift for happiness is determined by your genes to a large degree. 11 . We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.‎ Strategy 1: 12 ‎ The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.”‎ Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.‎ Strategy 2: Develop gratitude.‎ In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”. 13 ‎ Strategy 3: Remember, money can’t buy happiness.‎ Research shows: 14 . Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness,” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.‎ Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.‎ ‎“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities”. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休闲）activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. 15 Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.‎ A. Choose to be happy.‎ B. Achieve happiness.‎ C. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.‎ D. Yet, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.‎ E. Happiness is decided by a good many aspects.‎ F. More money doesn’t necessarily bring extra happiness.‎ G. This shifts people away from bitterness, and promotes happiness.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45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。‎ When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.
