高二英语月考试题及答案-伊川县实验高中2015-2016学年高二上学期第一周周练

伊川县实验高中2015-2016学年高二年级上学期第一次周练英语试卷第一部分:阅读理解AWhen Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.29. What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A .a far better artistB. a far more gifted artistC. a much stronger personD .a much more famous person30.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .A.polioB.her bent spineC. back injuriesD. the operations she had31.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the .A.1930sB.1940sC.1950sD.1970s32.What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?A. Love.B. Pity.C .Worry. D. Encouragement.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think it was good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as an assistant at a famous publisher(出版业). I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep and long wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start. There’s a dark period, when you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to make it.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback(反馈). I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like unbelievable, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.I was waiting for good fortune.B.I was trying to find an admirable job.C.I was being aimless about a suitable job.D.I was doing a job for more pay at a time.34.The author decided to write a novel.A.to finish the writing courseB.to realize her own dreamC.to satisfy readers’ wishD.to earn more money35.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A.Optimistic.B.Interested.C.Confident.D.Uncertain.36.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.It pays off to stick to one’s goal.B.Hard work can lead to success.C.She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D.There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids (孩子) to? Try some of these places:·Visit art museums.They off er a variety of activities to excite your kids’ interest.Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children’s favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.·Head to a natural history museum.This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky.Also, different kinds of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.·Go to a Youtheater. It offers plays for child and family visitors.Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performingarts.Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.·Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups. They’ll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.37.If a child is interested in space, he probably will visit.A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a natural history museumD.a hands-on science museum38. What can kids do at a Youtheater?A. Look at rock collections.B. See dinosaur models.C. Watch puppet making.D. Give performances.39. What does “hands-on science” mean in the last paragraph?A. Science games designed by kids.B. Learning science by doing things.C. A show of kids’ science work.D. Reading science books.40. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science textbook.B. A tourist map.C. A museum guide.D. A news report.第二部分:英语知识运用(第一节完形填空Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the 41 is that homelessness is everywhere.

If Arvada’s team lost, the mayor of Arvada would send the mayor of Boulder ten pounds of sliced potat oes, ready for frying. If Boulder’s team lost, the mayor would send ten pounds of sliced tomatoes, ready for sandwiches or salads.Unfortunately, before the game started, the mayor of Boulder happened to hear the Arvada mayor tell someone: “They grow t he worst tomatoes. If they lose and send us their tomatoes, I’m going to give them all to my pig.” The mayor of Boulder was upset to hear this, because he thought Boulder’s tomatoes were the best in the state. So he gave the matter some thought.The following week, the big game was played. Boulder lost its star quarterback in the first half when he tripped (绊倒) over a cheerleader and hurt his big toe. The quarterback sadly watched the rest of the game from the bench. His team ended up losing, 38 to 12. The two mayors shook hands after the game, and the Arvada mayor said, “I’m really looking forward to those tomatoes.” As the Boulder team left the stadium, some unhappy fans threw ripe tomatoes at them.A week later, the mayor of Arvada received a package of beautifully sliced tomatoes. He took them straight to his pig, which ate them right up. That night the mayor of Boulder asked his wife if Arvada’s mayor had called. “No,” she said. “Why?” “Because I mixed a pint (品脱) of hot sauce into the tomatoes and I wan ted to know how his pig’s doing.”1.

Because his football team lost the game.B. Because the two mayors had made a big plan.C. Because his tomatoes were the best in the state.D. Because the mayor of Arvada needed some sliced tomatoes for sandwiches and salads.4. How do you think the pig was doing after it ate all the sliced tomatoes?A. The pig was going to die from food poisoning.B. The pig was not doing quiet well.C. The pig would have some trouble with its teeth.D. The pig seemed quite all right.BPeter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box ha s n’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he cou ldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”T he salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

河南省伊川县实验高中2015-2016学年高二英语上学期第三次周练试题一,阅读理解(共8小题;每小题3分,满分24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。
AViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,”he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance(遗传) plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.1. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country2. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________A.are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions3.Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A. a natural gift.B. extensive knowledge of music.C. very early training.D. a prejudice-free society.4. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A.Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the WorldB.C. Music and Society D. The Making of Music ProdigiesBI promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over.Now l think it's time.Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium.After it ran,I got a call from a man in the western suburbs.He said,“I read what you wrote about Jordan.but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."And he named them. He said four names.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago,as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie,I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28.

Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

伊川县实验高中高二年级英语限时训练命题人:朱珊珊审题人:陈科峰第一部分阅读理解(每个3分,共21分)AI passed all the other courses that I took at my university, but I could have never passed botany. This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never once see a cell through a microscope. This used to make my professor angry. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells, until he came to me. I would just be standing there. “I can’t see anything,” I would say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end up angrily, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn’t. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway.”I used to tell him. “We are not concerned with beauty in this course,” he would say.“We are concerned with the structure of flowers.” “Well,” I’d say. “I can’t see anything.” “Try it just once again,” he’d say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, except now and again something unclear and milky. “You were supposed to see a clear, moving plant cells shaped like clocks.” “I see what loo ks like a lot of milk.” I would tell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.I failed to pass botany that year, an d had to wait a year and try again, or I couldn’t graduate. The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes. “Well,” he said to me, happily, “we’re going to see cells this time, aren’t we?” “Yes, sir,” I said. Stud ents to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; what’s more, they were . Of course, I didn’t see anything.So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, something like stars. These I hurriedly drew. The professor, noting my activity, came to me, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing.“What’s that?” he asked. “That’s what I saw,” I said. “You didn’t, you didn’t, you didn’t!” he screamed, losing control of himself immediately, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. He raised his head suddenly. “That’s your eye!” he shouted. “You’ve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects! You’ve drawn your eye!”1.Why couldn’t the writer see the flower cells through the microscope?A. Because he had poor eyesight.B. Because the microscope didn’t work properly.C. Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly.D. Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it. 2.What does the writer mean by “his eyebrows high in hope”in the last paragraph?A. His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them.B. His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention.C. His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures.D. His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings.3.What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph?A. Real starsB. His own eyeC. Something unknownD. Milk4.In what writing style did the writer write the passage?A. RealisticB. RomanticC. SeriousD. HumorousBDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork)and beouf (beef)came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-fivepercent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is us ed for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”.
