高一英语月考试题及答案-民乐一中2015-2016学年高二下学期(4部)4月模拟考试试卷(一)
民乐一中2015-2016学年第二学期高二（4）部4月模拟英语试卷（一）第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AA mystery surrounds my grandmother’s collection of salt cellars (盐瓶). No one in the family seems to know when she started collecting them, or exactly how many she had.My grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born. She was a poet, an artist, a food lover and a salt cellar collector. The funny thing about the salts, as she called them —I never once heard her say salt cellar — was that although everybody knew they were her hobby and everyone was always searching for them at yard sales or in stores, nobody seemed to know what they meant to her and they just wanted to make her happy. Grandma kept her salts in a dark wooden corner display case in the living room. Since her death the case has remained exactly as she left it. Grandpa tries his best to preserve his memories of her just as they are.Now I am collecting, too. Co llecting memories about my grandmother’s hobby, a way she spent her time. And as I hold one of them in my hand, I picture her holding it in her hand on the day she got it. She is smiling. My mother and her two sisters all have small collections, but my mother admits that she was more interested in finding salts to send to Grandma.Grandma once wrote a poem titled “When April Comes”. The poem contains the line, “When April comes and I am not around, remember me when daffodils are found.” Now, Grandpa is wor king on a poem with the line, “April came and you were not around”.But she was, somehow. She was there in the memories left behind by her possessions.1. In writing the text, the author expressed .A. her sadness at losing her grandmaB. her desire to collect more salt cellarsC. her love for her grandmaD. her curiosity about her grandma’s possessions2. The underlined part “her possessions” in the last paragraph refers to ____.A. Grandma’s experienceB. Grandma’s hobbyC. Grandma’s talentD. Grandma’s strong will3. It can be inferred from the text that the author’s family .A. are very proud of their interesting family historyB. value the wonderful poems Grandma wroteC. are much influenced by Grandma’s interestD. know much about grandparents’ love4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Grandma’s Salt Cellar CollectionB. The Mystery of Grandma’s Salt CellarsC. Grandparents’ Lifelong DevotionD. A Family’s Collection HistoryBAsk a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ s topwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience,almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.5. We can infer from the first paragraph that .A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesB. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needsC. students are free to use their mobile phones at schoolD. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school6. When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .A. all enjoyed the project very muchB. didn’t know what they were used forC. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phonesD. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools7. Who benefited most from the project?A. Older pupils.B. Pupils who were not confident.C. Younger pupils.D. Pupils who were confident.8. The purpose of the text is to tell us that .A. mobile phones can actually help students learnB. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsC. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsD. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent yearsCA patent is the tool that can be used to prevent people from making, selling, offering to sell or importing the patented items without permission. According to the patent law, any person who “invents any new and useful process, machine, or composition (成分) of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent.”The law has described the limits of the field of subject matter that can be patented, and thus it has been held that the laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter. A patent cannot be obtained upon just an idea or suggestion.In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as described in the patent law, whichalso provides that an invention cannot be patented if: “(a) the inv ention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country before the invention by the applicant for patent,” or “(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country more than one year before the application for patent in America.”Moreover, even if the subject matter sought to be patented is not exactly shown by the previous art, and involves one or more differences over the most nearly similar thing already known, a patent may still be refused. The subject matter sought to be patented must be fully different from what has been used or described before in the area of technology related to the invention. For example, the substitutions of one color for another, or changes in size, are not patentable.9. We can learn from the text that a patent .A. is a legal limit to the spread of most new inventionsB. is a permit for using a new invention by the inventorC. proves necessary when people want to invent somethingD. serves as an effective tool to protect inventors’ rights10. Which of the following can not be patented according to the patent law?A. A new computing tool.B. A new packaging for a product.C. A new economic theory.D. A new waste treatment method.11. We can infer from the text that .A. it’s not easy to put new inventions into productionB. a patent will not be applicable in some countriesC. there are strict criteria for applying for a patentD. the patent law differs greatly between countries12. The author writes this text in order to tell us .A. what can or can’t be patented under the patent lawB. how to avoid failing to get a patent for a new inventionC. there are few inventions that can be patentedD. how to bring the patent law into forceDWomen facing breast cancer (乳腺癌) report that their cats rank among the most important supporters, alongside parents and siblings (兄弟姐妹) they rely on to help them through their treatment.Fish, a breast cancer survivor, relied on the companionship of her two cats, Phoebe and Jack, during her treatments. “They were the perfect companions when I needed them most,” Fish says. “They gave silent strength.” Fish is far from the only breast cancer survivor to show the power of her cat. A recent Purina Cat Chow national survey of breast cancer survivors with cats points out this important relationship.Dr. Karen Sueda, at the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, says, “Whether pet owners are fighting diseases such as breast cancer or going through a rough period in life such as job loss or some stress, their cats often display intuitive (直觉的) behavior of knowing when they need extra suppor t.”Hearing countless stories from breast cancer patients and survivors of how they have been emotionally supported by their cats, Purina Cat Chow honors this exceptional relationship and is doing its part to help the fight against breast cancer. This year, in a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Purina Cat Chow will donate more than $200,000 to the cause and invites consumers to help us raise awareness of breast cancer.Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest network of breast cance r survivors and activists fighting to find the cures. The organization has invested(投资) $1.3 billion in ending breast cancer, becoming the world’s largest source of non-profit funds (资金) devoted to the fight against breast cancer.13. To many women with breast cancer, cats can .A. bring strength and support to themB. teach them how to relaxC. know about what they think aboutD. help the patients to be optimistic14. According to the text, Purina Cat Chow .A. often collects cancer patients’ informationB. hopes to find more breast cancer patientsC. will help spread the knowledge about breast cancerD. aims to find the best treatment for breast cancer15. What is Purina Cat Chow’s attitude towards the role of the cat du ring breast cancer treatment?A. Unconcerned.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Surprised.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。

We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those li ttle things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude is one of those things, so a quick “thanks ” seems like an easy one.But according to a recent study, we’re not at all typical. The st udy looked at over 1,000 recordings of casual conversations a mong families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 ti mes were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that mea nt “thanks” but weren’t a direct translation of the word were co unted, including physical gestures of thanks.The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from differ ent places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, , E nglish, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha’ palaa, Lao and Siwu. The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians a t 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4.0 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. Th e lowest? Well, the Cha’ palaa speakers of don’t have a word for “thank you” at all.As the linguists explained, “Expr essing thanks, in some cultur es, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of fe elings. In cultures where thanks are less often said, it’s becau se social cooperation is taken for granted, and ‘thank you’isn’t really needed or necessary. ”The idea that you don’t need to thank others because it’s ass umed that you’re appreciative is beautiful. But it is a bit hard f or me to accept. So I’ll keep saying “thanks” as frequently as I do. But as a frequent traveler, I’ll keep in mind to watch the lo cal custom and follow suit.5. What might be psychologists’ opinion about expressing tha nks?A. It can show a person’s values.B. It is passed down from parents.C. It can contribute to close relationship.D. It is a little and unnecessary thing.6. What is typical among family members according to the stu dy?A. They seldom express thanks.B. They say thanks at any time.C. They often show thanks using gestures.D. They often use indirect translation of thanks.7. Who never say “thank you”?A. The Polish.B. The Italians.C. The Russians.D. T he Cha’ palaa.8. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. Family members don’t need to thank each other.B. People thank close friends and family less.C. Close friends have different ways to express thanks.D. Different cultures have different ways to express thanks.CLike toolmaking, teaching was once thought to be an exclusiv e(独有的) capacity of the human mind. It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the st udent must learn a new skill. That’s a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then i mitates (模仿), that’s learning. But the adult has not taken time specificall y to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees’ amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a s ource of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take t ime to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners. Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes fr ee a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let th eir youngsters chase it, catching it again if it’s getting away. D olphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mot her spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey a nd let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the po isonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to r eflect high intelligence. In lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowin g puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of mil k that surrounded her head. The trainer was “a bsolutely aston ished”.Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to repres ent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isn’t j ust imitation. It is art.9. What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably me an in paragraph 2?A. A clear instruction.B. A high risk.C. A useful purpose.D. A difficult requirement.10. What do we know about honeybees’ dance?A. Imitating.B. Learning.C. Presenting.D. Teac hing.11. What can we infer about animals that can teach?A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.B. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.C. Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.12. Why does the author use D olly’s example?A. To prove smoking can affect other animals.B. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.C. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.D. To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.DWhen there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people ma ke their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in t he financial（金融） industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business Sc hool, University College London, and , , did a number of exper iments.The research team used computer software to make 40 faces , from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that loo k slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money. Then researcher s gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trust ed.The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still m ore likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems that we are still willing t o go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust th em. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”13. According to the study, which of the following faces is mos t likely to be trusted?A. A sad face.B. An angry face.C. A crying face.D. A smiling face.14. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.B. Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in colleg e.C. Participants liked to choose the faces with good informatio n.D. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.15. What did the researchers learn from their experiment?A. People can’t refuse temptations.B. People often judge strangers by their faces.C. People do things with their instincts all the time.D. People don’t trust strangers with sad faces.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。

I couldn’t answer my mouth was full of pie. So I just offered him one. "So nice/"he said."What are they?” He had to wait a few moments for an answer, but eventually I explained. As insurance, I offered him another pie to keep quiet.Once a day for the next three weeks I imagined returning home to my grandmothers kitchen, if only for a few sweet bites at a time.Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother's pies. She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression. She would have astonished the judges on today's TV cooking challenges.

Most time the tasks easily accomplished with parents reading or talking to their babies. However, in some cases that is not possible due to busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf. Now, an adorable（可爱的） blue-eyed robot, a human avatar, and some high-tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.The robot AVatar thermal-Enhance system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura-Ann Petitto,an educational neuroscientist, at Washington,D. C 's Gallaudet University. The learning process begins when the robot's camera, which isfocused on the baby’s face, detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature. This, combined with the baby's facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby’s attention to a computer screen, on which a human avatar starts to communicate with the baby. much like a parent would. For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond. Are you pointing to me? "and follow that up with a nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or some essential social communication, all in American Sign Language (ASL) The"conversation" continues until the kid loses interest.The researchers, who have been testing the system for three years,found t hat babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes. Petitto says natural language, whether communicated through speech or sign, activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive nature and real-time response to the baby s actions. The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's long-term influence on the initial response has been very encouraging. Next they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.12. What can the RAVE system help parents do?A. Improve babies' health condition.B. Take good care of babies.C.

was one of the young US soldiers in Saudi Arabia.At a time before the Internet,our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.One evening the mail soldier called my name and,instead of a letter,handed me a large box from my grandmother back in Oklahoma.One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmother’s cooking her fried chicken and onion,corn bread,and,most of all,her desserts.But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic(美食的)journey home:opened the box to find two dozen my grandmothers pies.A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received.I couldn’t answer my mouth was full of pie.So I just offered him one."So nice/"he said."What are they?”He had to wait afew moments for an answer,but eventually I explained.As insurance,I offered him another pie to keep quiet.Once a day for the next three weeks I imagined returning home to my grandmothers kitchen,if only for a few sweet bites at a time.Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother's pies.She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression.She would have astonished the judges on today's TV cooking challenges.I remember coming across a persimmon(柿子)tree once while out hiking.It was autumn, and the fruit was soft and sweet.I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma Guess what!

The learning process begins when the robot's camera,which is focused on the baby’s face,detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature.This,combined with the baby's facial expression,causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby’s attention to a computer screen,on which a human avatar starts to communicate with the baby.much like a parent would.For example,if the baby points towards the screen,the avatar might respond.Are you pointing to me?"and follow that up with a nursery rhyme,fairy tale,or some essential social communication,all in American Sign Language(ASL)The"conversation"continues until the kid loses interest.The researchers,who have been testing the system for three years,found t hat babies as young as6to8months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes.Petitto says natural language,whether communicated through speech or sign,activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.What sets this technique apart from other methods,such as showing educational videos or television shows,is its interactive nature and real-time response to the baby s actions.The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's long-term influence on the initial response has been very encouraging.Next they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.12.What can the RAVE system help parents do?A.Improve babies'health condition.B.Take good care of babies.C.Develop babies'language skills.D.Keep babies company.13.What does Paragraph2mainly talk about?A.How babies learn ASL effectively.B.How parents educate their babies.C.How robots talk and read to babies.D.How the RAVE system works.14.What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system?A.Interest in videos and TV shows.B.Changes in their body temperature.C.Improvement in their natural language.D.Hand movements in a rhythm like ASL.15.What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?A.Promising.B.Impractical.C.satisfactory.D.Disappointing,.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。
