永昌县第一高级中学2016-2017-2第一次月考 高二英语 第Ⅰ卷 Ⅰ、阅读理解(共40分；每小题2分)‎ A We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak, but his smile was the same as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from hospital and look after him. But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren't with him. Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in cereal (麦片)box, under a hairbrush or next to the phone. For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these reminders of our love. So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. "Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil(损坏). ”Some expressed my love, “Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, "Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!" Just like his medicines strengthened him physically, these "emotional vitamins" would improve his health, too. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was going. He said, "Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!" 1.

Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threatens pedestrian safety.”‎ British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.‎ Floor Lieshout, director of Youth For Road Safety, said, “This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic. It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic.”‎ Andrew Howard, who is the head of road safety at the Automobile Association, added that some pedestrians can be “so focused in their own little world they forget the world going on around them”．‎ That can include headphone wearers, Howard said, but also people talking on phones.‎ However, Howard said that more research needed to be done.‎ Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them.‎ Ian Harvey, at the charity Civic Voice, said that “to defeat isolation and to help build a civic (文明的) society, people need to interact (交往) with each other”．‎ He said, “A basis for any civilised society is communication ... Surfing the web, listening to MP3s, reading blogs or sending email is not interacting with a person; it's interacting with a machine.”‎ ‎“If people feel socially isolated, they need to have more facetoface interactions with other human beings and in time, will begin to feel happier and more connected to the world and place they live in.”‎ ‎17．What does the text mainly discuss?‎ A．Traffic accidents in the United States.‎ B．Safety problems caused by wearing headphones.‎ C．Recent research on the risks to pedestrians.‎ D．The advantages and disadvantages of headphones.‎ ‎18．We can learn from the USbased study that .‎ A．most victims are under eighteen B．most accidents happened in the countryside C．most accidents were caused by cars D．most victims died in the accidents ‎19．What does Floor Lieshout probably think of the study?‎ A．It's surprising.‎ B．It's unscientific.‎ C．It's interesting.‎ D．It's valuable.‎ ‎20．Howard will probably agree that .‎ A．most people wear headphones because of loneliness B．it is safe if you wear headphones in a proper way C．it is dangerous to talk on phones while walking D．people wearing headphones are more likely to go blind Ⅱ. 任务型阅读（满分１０分）‎ How to stop sleeping in Class?‎ Sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning about the material that is being taught.

It can enrich our knowledge as well as make us relax under the great pressure of studies. Besides, as time goes on, some collections will be more valuable, which can bring us a lot of profits. However, some of the students spend too much time and money on it Thus, they fall far behind others in study.‎ In my opinion, collecting stamps can be fun as a hobby, but we should balance the relationship between study and hobbies. If we are addicted to hobbies, we will spend less time on our study and our precious time will be wasted.‎ Yours, Li Hua
