甘肃省临夏中学2018-2019学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题

甘肃省临夏中学2018—2019学年第二学期第一次月考试卷 年级：高二 科目：英语 　 座位号：‎ ‎ ‎ 第I卷 （选择题）‎ 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)‎ You know that smoking is bad behaviour. But what if one or both of your parents smoke? You can’t order your parents to stop smoking, but you can encourage them to quit. Here are some good reasons: smoking is bad for their health; smoking causes second-hand smoke which can damage every family’s health; smoking will cause other troubles in the family.  You can show articles about smoking to your parents and encourage them to find out more information about smoking. But what if your parents get angry with you because of the topic of smoking? People don’t like to be reminded that they are doing something bad, so it’s possible your parents will be angry. Remember to be kind, respect and understand your parents. Also you should know that it is difficult to give up smoking. Instead of shouting at them, you should tell them that you love them and want them to enjoy a happy life. One day your parents will realize you are right.  And if they do agree to stop smoking, you should be their supporter. There’s something you can do to help them when they want to smoke. Maybe you can go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music with them. When they make progress, like a month without smoking, you can hold a party to celebrate it. Please say, “Go ahead, my parents!”‎ ‎1. The underlined word “quit” means______ .‎ ‎ A. give away    B. give up  C. put up   D. put off ‎2.

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.‎ We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.‎ Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to ‎ some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”‎ ‎8. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ____ while an idiot is _____.‎ A. a normal person; a funny person B. a strong person; a weak person C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person D. a famous person; an ordinary person　‎ ‎9. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.‎ A. whose parents are clever B. often thinking about difficult problems C. often helped by his parents and teachers D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use　‎ ‎10. It is better for parents ________.‎ A. to praise and encourage their children more often B. to be hard on their children C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do D. to give their children as much help as possible　‎ ‎11. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?‎ A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.‎ B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.‎ C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.‎ D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.‎ ‎(D)‎ Researchers carried out a series of studies which showed those who counted money before taking part in an experiment where they would accept low levels of pain felt less discomfort than those who did not. Handling a hand of cash may be better at killing pain than aspirin, their study  suggests. The study showed that counting notes and coins helps to ‎  reduce pain by  improving feelings of self-worth and self-satisfaction.‎ ‎ Previous studies have shown those with a greater sense of self-worth may be more likely to bear pain. Britain spends at least £500 million a year on over-the-counter(非处方) painkilling pills and the figure is increasing every year. But scientists remain puzzled by why some people seem to feel pain more easily than others. In the latest study, a group of students were asked to count out a hand of cash consisting of 80 one-hundred dollar bills, or just 80 pieces of blank paper. They had been told that researchers were simply testing their dexterity(熟练) in handling the notes. Each volunteer was then asked to dip their hands into a bowl of very hot water, to see how painful they found it and how long they could last. The results, published in a recent edition of the journal Psychological Science, showed those who had counted money reported less pain and lasted longer. The results support other studies about how the brain can be used to reduce pain without the use of pills.‎ A University of Los Angeles team of scientists found just looking at a photograph of a loved one can also be a powerful form of pain relief. They recommended anyone visiting hospital for  painful tests or examinations should bring a picture to help them cope. And patients who have hada big operation, such as a knee ore hip replacement, can reduce half the amount of painkilling medicine they need simply by touching a pet, according to tests at Loyola University in Chicago. 12. What can we learn about counting money according to Paragraph 1? A. We can’t live without money. B. We can feel confident in our value. C. We can do everything with money. D. We can afford the painkilling medicine. 13. Why did researchers tell students they were simply testing their dexterity in handling the notes? A. They didn’t want the students to know their real purpose. B. They wanted the students to forget painkilling medicine. C. They didn’t want to know how carefully the students counted money. ‎ ‎ D. They wanted to know how skillful they were when counting money. 14. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in pain relief according to the passage? A. Patting a pet lightly. B. Talking with doctors. C. Counting money. D. Bring a picture of a loved one. 15. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Money works the same as aspirin. B. Money makes life easier and healthier. C. Money brings comfort to pain sufferers. D. Money has a magic power in curing patients.‎ 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。请将答案涂到71----75‎ Reading books is one of the best hobbies.
