A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5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。

高二上学期第一次月考英语试题含答案

高二英语月考试题2018.9考试范围：Units1---3 考试时间：120分钟满分：150分一、听力部分（共30分）二、阅读理解(共30分）1.（8分）AFrancis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers(哲人)of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使).Two years later he went to England to study law.At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament(议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it ter,by doing experiments,the scientists could see that any one cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.（21）According to the passage we know that ________.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of EnglandB.Francis Bacon had good educationC.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23（22）It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for________.A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in natureB.his booksC.his method,inductive reasoningD.being a member of parliament（23）His essays gave many useful lessons on ________.A.studyingB.conversationC.friends and healthful livingD.All of the above.（24）The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means________.A.discovering general laws from particular facts or examplesB.reaching a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular caseC.studying things as they used to beD.studying things in a particular way2.（8分）BDogs are man's best friends.This everyday saying may contain some truth，but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like.For example，cats can be excellent house pets，too.People enjoy the friendship of cats.Cats love to keep close to their owners.Cats are quite playful.They love to run after balls，or play with anything hanging from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners play the game with them.Just like a dog，a cat can be trained to perform tricks（诡计）or avoid unwanted behaviour.Cats do not have to be walked.They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play，and they do their business in their litter boxes.So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their litter boxes.Washing a cat is almost never necessary because cats usually clean themselves.In addition，cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry.Unlike some pets，most cats willnot destroy the furniture when left alone.They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family.Unlike dogs，cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly.Also，cats don't often have “accidents”．Mother cats train their babies to use the litter box，and most cats will use it from that time on.Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals，especially as they grow older.（25）From the passage，we can learn that ______.A.cats would rather play with themselvesB.cats often play tricks on their ownersC.many people think dogs are man's best friendsD.cats sleep less than any other animal does（26）What can be concluded（推断） from the passage?A.Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B.Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C.Cats are afraid of being left alone at home.D.Cats don't like to clean themselves.（27）In the fourth paragraph，we can learn that cats are ______.A.playfulB.cuteC.politeD.noisy（28）Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D.3.（6分）Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A.live in groupsB.have large brainsC.are warmbloodedD.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4.（8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can losejobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means ______.A.citizensB.passengersC. populationD.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists' customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD.we can't build too many support facilities三、阅读填空(共10分）5.（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。

Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph(留声机), the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but he was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. He was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas Edison then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent(专利) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. The stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on atape.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work.56. Of all Edison’s inventions, ______ was probably the most important formankind.A. the electric lightB. the stock-tickerC. the vote recorderD. the motion picture camera57. Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.a. Edison worked as a newsboy.b. Edison moved to Port Huron.c. Edison got his first patent.d. Edison became a telegraph operator.A. b-a-d-cB. a-b-d-cC. a-b-c-dD. b-a-c-d58. The underlined word “blessing”can be replaced by ______.A. necessityB. disadvantageC. disabilityD. benefit59. What made Edison a great inventor?A. The education from his motherB. His interest and hard workC. His early work experienceD. His deafness and talent.BIn 1865, a creative engineer, John Roebling, decided to build a bridgeconnecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.However, Roebling thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington that the bridge in fact could be built.With great excitement and inspiration, and great hardships before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge in 1869.The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.Now all he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By touching his wife’s arm with that finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, telling the engineers what to do, until the bridge was finally completed.60.

It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive(有好处的) to happiness. We can choose to refuse to think about the unhappy events. If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.What is happiness? It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or confused thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside,triggered(触发) by outer events.For most people happiness seems passing quickly. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation(冥想). As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life:Try hard to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side.Think of solutions, not problems.Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking ofpleasant things.68. For most people happiness seems passing quickly because _______.A. they let changing outer circumstances affect themB. they hope that even greater happiness will comeC. they have no friends to share happiness with themD. they don’t want to achieve any greater happiness69. We can learn from the passage that our happiness is _______.A. that we own a great deal of moneyB. to achieve the goal we havebeen seekingC. a feeling of inner peace and satisfactionD. the feeling that we areadmired by others70. According to the author happiness depends on _______.A. outer circumstancesB. our attitude toward itC. the conditions we haveD. the objective world71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Happiness Is the Goal in Daily Life.B. Happiness Exists in Everyone’s Mind.C. Happiness Can Be Chosen by Us.D. Tips for happiness in Daily Life.EThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land,”Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC, said.According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources, such as gasoline, and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats. Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise(高层的) building.According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption(消费量) by one-third and our water by 50 percent.The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自动地) turn off when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows. This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.72. Green buildings are _______.A. far away from public transportationB. built in the forestsC. earth-friendlyD. often built on developing land73. Green buildings are built near public transportation mainly for the purposeof ______.A. taking buses or subways easilyB. saving natural resourcesC. driving private cars lessD. protecting the environment 74. The Solaire is thought to be “green ” because it ________. A. locates near a forest B. lies close to stores C. reduces energy and water use D. was built with green materials 75. Which of the following is used to cut energy consumption in the Solaire? A. Closing windows as long as possible. B. Reducing the time of using lights. C. Recycling solar power. D. Using natural resources.●●●●●……第二卷：第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

高二一月月考(英语)试题含答案

高二一月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.（10分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.（7.5分）From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 31. _______ Yes, evenstudents of average intelligence can be top students without additional work.

The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 35. _______A. Be volunteer to raise questions.B. Make good use of your time in class.C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.E.
