三高级中学15—16学年上学期高一第二次月考英语试题(附答案)

2015—2016学年上学期高中一年级第二次阶段性考试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)AOur need to communicate with each other has been a driving force(力量)in the development of technology.In the 20th century we have seen the invention of the radio,television,telephone and fax,and today the Internet has opened up a whole new way of communicating.We now have instant (即刻的)messaging services such as ICQ or China's QQ and chat rooms where people can join group discussions.They mean increasing choices for when,where and how to communicate,and more importantly, with whom.While most people use the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family, a growing number of people use QQ and chat rooms to meet and chat with strangers.Because the Internet allows a certain amount of anonymity, users can be more open making it easier to make new friends.One user said that everyone is equal online,and age and appearance become unimportant.This makes it easier for peopleto communicate with each other.Finding new friends is not the only reason people use chat rooms.The Internet can bring together like-minded (志趣相投的)people who want to discuss their favourite topics.There are chat rooms for certain sports,types of music,styles of art,in fact,just about any interest you can imagine,and many that you can't! Whatever unusual interest you might have, if you search on the Internet,there is a good chance that you will find someone.somewhere in cyberspace,willing to talk to you about it-right now.However, there are problems with going online.It is possible for cyber-criminals to steal information such as credit card details while you are online,and there is always the chance that a new friend is not who he or she claims(声称)to be.One girl was really disappointed when she discovered that her new cyberfriend who wrote poems for her, was actually copying all the poems from magazines.But for all the problems that might come up,instant messaging services and chat rooms are here to stay, putting in touch with friends,family and strangers of similar interests1.People use the Internet to .A.chat to friends and meet family B.meet strangers and write poemsC.chat to friends,family and strangers2.What does anonymity (para.2)mean?A.The state of being unknown.B.The state of being friendly.C.The state of being on Line.3.What types of topics will people discuss on the Internet?A.Sports,types of music,styles of art.B.All kinds of topics.C.Only topics that the Internet allows.4.What is an example of problems with going online?A.Some people may send you poems copied from magazines.B.Your credit card details could be stolen.C.There might be no one to chat with.B“China now has 350 million smokers,accounting for (占)one-third of the world total.Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine at the age of 19,five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1 997,”a report said a couple of years ago.Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world.more than 800 million are in developing countries.And as the world's largest developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are.Of the 350 million addicts(瘾君子),more than 100 million are under the age of 18,while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad impact (影响)on the young generation.Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is fight and follow their example.It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate (指定)schools as no-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke.They are aware of(意识到)theresults of the habit,such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.Their example only helps justify (证明…合理)the addiction of so many others.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places.it would be much easier to drive home the notion(观点)that it is uncivilized(不文明的)to smoke in public places.。

This visually striking and finely made life-size portrait(肖像)records Washington’s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength, composure(沉着), and elegance(高雅). It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor(客厅), a period room from one of Philadelphia’s greatest eighteenth-century private homes, where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel. Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphia’s finest craftsmen, such as Thomas Affleck and Aitken. Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia.Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peal’s painting was immedi ately sent to Europe to promoteWashington’s reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later , during Europe’s Napoleonic Wars, a Spanish duke(公爵) with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption(标题) to it, which describes Washington as “ a liberator of his country who abandoned absolute power.”Curators馆长,监护人American Art Department Staff, website commentary by Carol SoltisLocation位子Galleries 286 and 287, second floor46.

ASunstroke 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 the safe limits. This causes the body’s necessary functions(功能)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 temperatur e. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you should do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted(昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’r e in a public place. If there is no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask every one to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there’s a building nearb y, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.Get the water flowingIf a person is still conscious(有知觉的), get him or her to drink water. If there is 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 personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or a 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.21. When does a person get sunstroke?A. W hen the body doesn’t function.B. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.C. When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D. When proper care is given immediately.22. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The prevention of sunstroke.B. The cause of sunstroke.C. The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D. The first aid for sunstroke.23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A.

The text probably comes from_____.A. a guidebook.B. a medical magazineC. a book reviewD. an official documentBTornadoes are nature’s most violent storms, which can cause deaths and destroy a neighborhood in seconds. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped (漏斗形的) cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be over one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this disaster.Some tornadoes can be seen clearly, while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others. At many times, tornadoes develop so rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is possible.Before a tornado hits, the air may become very still. A cloud of debris (散片) can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel can not be seen. Tornadoes generally occur near the edge of a thunderstorm, when the strong wind may die down. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado.The following are facts about tornadoes:☆The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 MPH, but may vary from still to 70 MPH. Debris is picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.☆The average tornado moves southwest to northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction. Tornadoes are most often reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.☆Tornadoes can happen together with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land. Waterspouts(水龙卷)are tornadoes that form over water.☆Peak tornado season in the southern states of America is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer. Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 pm and 9 pm, but can occur at any time.25.

At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And th e boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑), many childrenturn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.29.

Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they’d wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come?Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I’d written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history.At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth.What I’ve learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn’t in the documents but now in me.So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And what’s better is that I don’t need tolook back to those painful moments. They belong to the past.You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind.What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.32.Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?A. Because they were heavy on the moves.B. Because they were of no use at all.C. Because his wife persuaded him to.D. Because they occupied space too long.33. The author struggle at the very beginning for____.A. a sense of losing part of his historyB. a sense of embarrassmentC. a sense of regret for the pastD. a sense of pain34. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The past experiencesB. Physical and psychological mess.C. The rubbish in the basementD. The wasted college-related materials35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Give up the PastB. Sort It OutC. Let It GoD. Forget the History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。
