高台一中2017-2018学年下学期5月月考试卷 高二英语 ‎（考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：120分）‎ 测试范围：人教选修8 Unit 1 – Unit 2‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎ Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately.‎ ‎ Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above safe limits. This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working.‎ ‎ It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.‎ Call for help ‎ Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sun stroked person has fainted(昏迷). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.‎ Get the person to a cooler area ‎ If there’s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioning and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a well shaded area.‎ Get the water flowing ‎ If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.‎ ‎ If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person’s body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.‎ Fan the person ‎ Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.‎ ‎1. When does a person get sunstroke?‎ ‎ A. When the body doesn’t function.‎ ‎ B. When proper care is given immediately.‎ ‎ C. When someone is exposed to the sun too long.‎ ‎ D. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.‎ ‎2. What is mainly discussed in the passage?‎ ‎ A. The first aid for sunstroke. B. The cause of sunstroke.‎ ‎ C. The chief symptoms of sunstroke. D. The essential preventions of sunstroke.‎ ‎3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?‎ ‎ A. To call for assistance from others.‎ ‎ B. To leave the person in the shade.‎ ‎ C. To apply a wet towel to the person’s face.‎ ‎ D. To help the person take some medicine.‎ ‎4. The text probably comes from .‎ ‎ A. a guide book B. a book review ‎ ‎ C. a medical magazine D. an official document B ‎ Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he’s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.‎ ‎ The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it’s not the one thing that defines(给……下定义) him. He will also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he’s just like other normal ones.‎ ‎ When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢) to find out which was the most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.‎ ‎ At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a "real" leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn’t beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches(腋杖) and from there a new burst of energy was found.‎ ‎ Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer team to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community.‎ ‎ "At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he’s been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to the game," his father said. "I just think it’s a great result."‎ ‎5. This passage shows us a boy with one leg can .‎ ‎ A. do what a normal teenager can ‎ B. realize as many dreams as he can ‎ C. make a sport event more valuable ‎ D. add value to society ‎6. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that .‎ ‎ A. Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team ‎ B. it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted into the town soccer team ‎ C. Calabria’s parents didn’t allow him to play soccer at first ‎ D. there were some other disabled children in the soccer team ‎7. In Paragraph 5, the underlined part probably means " ".‎ ‎ A. a must-see B. a planned programme ‎ C. an extra game D. a special occasion ‎8. It is implied in the last paragraph that Calabria’s father .‎ ‎ A. has been discouraged since Calabria played soccer ‎ B. thinks that Calabria is playing a key role in the team ‎ C. is very delighted that Calabria can play soccer in the team ‎ D. hasn’t expected that Calabria can be allowed to play soccer C ‎ If you enjoy reading, the realm of books will become a paradise(乐园) which cannot be experienced by watching television. A study has shown how those who read for pleasure achieve more in literacy(读写能力) and thinking abilities than those who don’t. Actually, there is nothing else which will expand your language skills and make your imagination fly.‎ ‎ To begin with, language skills can be better learned through reading for pleasure than through watching TV for entertainment. At best, watching television can be educational as well as entertaining, but nobody wishes to raise literacy levels by simply sitting in front of a TV box.‎ ‎ Therefore, only by reading can you enrich your vocabulary. However, it must be made clear that the link between literacy and reading is like comparing health to sport. One is something functional and the other is something you do because you enjoy it.‎ ‎ The books that help you most in imagination are those which make you think the most. In this light, reading for pleasure, both paper-based and on-screen, is far more beneficial than watching TV. For example, there is always a book which is opened with expectation and closed with profit: imagination. Unfortunately, some people’s love of books is being ruined by television, which may be considered as a decline in thinking abilities.‎ ‎ On the whole, watching TV is largely harmless as an entertainment and information tool, but there is no better way to enhance your language skills and imagination than reading for pleasure. For those who would continue to enjoy reading, there is a paradise not yet being lost. Having acquired an amount of language skills through wide reading, you might as well imagine that such a paradise would not be very unlike a kind of library.‎ ‎9. In the author’s opinion, watching TV is______.‎ ‎ A. a waste of time and energy B. a paradise for children ‎ C. beneficial to some extent D. just for entertainment ‎10. What does the author think of reading?‎ ‎ A. People can obtain the truest information through it.‎ ‎ B. Watching TV offers more pleasure than it in reality.‎ ‎ C. More language skills will be obtained as people do more of it.‎ ‎ D. It plays the same role in firing kids’ imagination as watching TV.‎ ‎11. How is the passage mainly developed?‎ ‎ A. By making a comparison. B. By describing a process.‎ ‎ C. By using some examples. D. By following time order.‎ D ‎ Dogs, unlike people, are capable of pure love—at least according to Freud. As more Americans live alone, unconditional affection is in demand. Pet ownership has risen for decades. More than a third of homes have at least one dog, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.‎ ‎ But the popularity of four-legged friends has an unpleasant cost: dogs squeeze out more than twice the waste of the average person, or around 275 pounds a year. With over 83,000,000 dogs running around the country, that is a lot of waste.‎ ‎ Around 60% of the stuff gets collected and trucked to landfills, where it releases methane, a greenhouse gas. The rest delivers surprises to pedestrians and can pollute waterways.‎ The problem is particularly bad in cities, where green spaces are few and lonely souls seeking puppy love plentiful. There are over 600,000 dogs in New York—one for every 14 people—generating over100,000 tons of turd (粪便) a year.‎ ‎ This is a missed opportunity, says Ron Gonen, the city’s former recycling tsar(掌权者).Now in the private sector, he is trying to launch "Sparky Power", a programme to transform dog waste into clean energy in the city’s dog parks.‎ ‎ The idea is to fit parks with small anacrobic digesters(厌氧分解池). Dog owners would place their dogs’ turd into the machine, which then turns turd into gas for powering lamps and other park equipment. A year-long pilot would introduce digesters in three parks at a cost of around $ 100,000,000. The parks department is thinking about the proposal.‎ ‎ Similar schemes in other cities have proved short-lived. An underground Energy Transformation Using Reactive Digestion (E- TURD) device created by Arizona State University students for a dog park in Gilbert, Arizona, in 2012 finally failed.‎ ‎ "It’s great to turn it into a biofuel, but first you gotta pick it up," says Tom Boyd, an entrepreneur in Tennessee. His company, Poo Prints, shames the owners of dogs who fail to clean up their messes by testing DNA in uncollected turd.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined part "The problem" in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Lots of people feel lonely.‎ ‎ B. Pet dogs produce a lot of waste.‎ ‎ C. There are very limited green spaces.‎ ‎ D. The greenhouse effect is getting serious.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the programme "Sparky Power"?‎ ‎ A. It is about recycling household waste.‎ ‎ B. It is operated by the local government.‎ ‎ C. It aims to produce power from dog waste.‎ ‎ D. It aims to clean parks with renewable energy.‎ ‎14. So far the program "Sparky Power" _________.‎ ‎ A. has just started B.is a great success ‎ C. has ended in failure D.is still under consideration ‎15. What is the purpose of the company Poo Prints?‎ ‎ A. To make good use of dog waste.‎ ‎ B. To help people look for their dogs.‎ ‎ C. To reduce the number of dog owners.‎ ‎ D. To push people to pick up their dogs’ waste.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Everybody likes to get a freebie(赠品). On my way to work today I was offered a bottle of new mineral water. Lucky me eh? 　 16 —where you can get a freebie depends on a number of factors.‎ ‎ For businesses, giving out something for nothing is an important marketing technique. They want to see our reaction and hear our feedback(反馈) and finally make us buy more. 　17　.They want to target the so-called trendsetters, in the hope that they will speak positively about the product and encourage people to buy more.‎ ‎ Living in a capital city certainly improves your chances of getting a freebie. 　18　. So if you live in London, Paris or Beijing, you’ll probably see a new promotional campaign starting there first. The hope is that the fashionable people there will try and like the new item and support it on social media. Eventually everyone around the country will know about it.‎ ‎ How businesses give away freebies is also of interest. 　19　: future selling, cross-selling and up-selling. The first is about giving something away assuming we will like it and buy more clients(客户) through an entrance product, with the intention of selling them additional products during its life cycle, and up- selling happens when a basic version is given away for free but charges a client for more advanced and complete versions.‎ ‎ 20 —someone has to pay for it and this usually comes from a firm’s marketing budget which is funded by the products we buy—so the expression "there’s no such thing as a free lunch" could be true.‎ A. We might not give it much thought B. Well it’s a not necessarily down to luck C. Of course a freebie is not actually free D. But who they hear from is very important E. Maybe you have experienced one of these approaches F. According to economist Enrico Trevisan, they have three approaches G. Not only is the population larger but these places are considered the trendsetter 第二部分　语言知识运用（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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ I want to share with you a story from my life.

Thanks to the suffering, I was able to 　33　more than I could ever imagine. Thanks to people 　34　and not believing in me, I got the drive to prove them 　35　.‎ ‎ What I’m trying to say is that I don’t see suffering as a bad thing. If we learn how to 　36　our suffering in a way that can break us free I believe we can find our way to 　37　.‎ ‎ I don’t think there is any 　38　in suffering. Instead, we should be proud of all that we have gone through. We still stand strong. And we carry the 　39　from our sufferings as a great 　40　.
