Mailing you entry on October 30.BOpera for BeginnersMany people think that opera is boring, difficult to understand and unpleasant to listen to. They only see strange people singing in a foreign language and wearing funny costumes. They're too quick to judge and a lot of people have believed stupid ideas about opera without ever actually seeing one. If one takes opera seriously, with an open heart, and goes to several good live performances, I don't see any reason why he or she would dislike or hate it. The following tips can help you learn to enjoy opera.First of all, if you are new to opera, start with a short, well-known title, such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. In the beginning, avoid difficult operas with complex storylines. If your first experience is not fun, then you will expect all operas to be boring. Moreover, before going to a performance, do a little bit of homework: learn the story of the opera. If you know about the main characters and the story before you start watching, it will be much easier to understand what is happening on the stage. Finally, the most important way to enjoy opera is to keep an open mind. If you believe that you will enjoy watching opera, then you will most likely enjoy it. Think of opera as a live TV show. Opera shows the same things—love and hate, good and evil and humans and nature—that are found in many of today's popular movies and best-selling novels. In fact, many of these movies and novels use stories copied from famous operas!Opera is full of catchy, wonderful melodies （旋律）. It's full of drama and laughter. It's full of wonder and life. Opera can be fun to watch, and it allows the audience to experience different cultures. Many people have enjoyed it for hundreds of years, and by following the tips above, you can enjoy it, too. Indeed, opera will change the minds of the people who once hated it. And most importantly, as one of the most diverse art forms out there, opera helps you appreciate different performance styles from all over the world.4．Many people think that opera is boring because .A. it is like a TV showB. they dislike its storylinesC. they know little about itD. its music style is old-fashioned5．Which is a good way for beginners to enjoy opera?A. To start with a long opera.B. To learn to sing an opera.C. To master a foreign language.D. To get familiar with an opera's story.6．Many famous operas, popular movies, and best-selling novels .A. share a similar storyB. have the same writerC. teach people about lifestylesD. help people keep an open mind7．What does the underlined word “diverse” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Ancient.B. Humorous.C. Various.D. Exciting.C"If music is the medicine of the soul(灵魂), let it play on," said a famous person. I think he said so because probably he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.[来源Depression(抑郁) is a disease caused by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us weakness, headache, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feelings make you healthy.Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.8. According to the famous person in Paragraph 1, music can .A. treat many kinds of diseasesB. help you keep healthy in your mindC. take the place of medicine in treating illnessD. make you remember things that happened9. Good music helps people remove stress mainly by .A. letting people have a good sleepB. making people focus only on important thingsC. showing something new to peopleD. making people think positively10. Which of the following is NOT a reason for depression mentioned in the passage?A. Stress.B. Smoking.C. Loss of concentration.D. Failure in business.11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. The Health Benefits of Listening to MusicB. Stress Can Bring Us Many Kinds of DiseasesC. Some Diseases Have Something to Do With MusicD. Tips For Us to Live a Healthy And Comfortable LifeDEinstein's $1.5 Million Tip to a BellboyIn addition to being a scientist, a philosopher （哲学家），and somewhat of a funny guy, Albert Einstein was something even more admirable: a good tipper. We know this because a piece of paper the Nobel Prize winner gave a bellboy as a tip sold for more than $1.5 million at auction （拍卖）.As the story goes, Einstein was traveling to Japan to give a lecture series when hefound out he'd been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. News of the award spreadquickly and Einstein, somewhat bothered by all of the attention, kept himself in hisroom at a hotel in Tokyo.A bit embarrassed by all the publicity he was receiving, Einstein tried to write downhis thoughts and feelings. Just then, a bellboy came to Einstein's room to deliver a message. Not expecting him, Einstein didn't have any small change to tip him, and instead gave the bellboy a pair of the writings he'd been working on. Aware that his fame in the world was rising, Einstein supposedly told the Japanese messenger the notes would turn out to be more valuable than a regular tip if he was lucky.The two notes were both written in German and signed by Einstein himself. The first note offered the professor's “theory for happiness” It read: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness （不安）.” The second one simply said, “Where there's a will, there's a way.”Tested or not, the theory does appear to be at least somewhat correct. According to a study of the connection between the life success and well-being of more than 275,000 people, happiness creates personal and professional success more often than success in those areas leads to happiness.Even if his philosophical thoughts contain no scientific value, the notes do shine a little light on Einstein's private thoughts. “What we're doing here is paintin g the picture of Einstein —the man, the scientist, his effect on the world---through his writings,” said Roni Grosz, who is in charge of the world's largest Einstein collection at Hebrew University.Whether the bellboy was able to benefit from Einstein's happiness theory is unclear, but the notes did eventually bringsome joy to one of his relatives when they were sold — the second note brought in $250,000, while the first one that lists Einstein's happiness theory sold for $1.56 million.12.How did Einstein feel about the public attention brought by winning the Nobel Prize?A. ConfidentB.TroubledC. EncouragedD. Regretful13. Why did Einstein give the bellboy the two notes as a tip?A. He didn't have small change with him at the time.B. The bellboy was interested in his thoughts and feelings.C . The bellboy delivered the message that he won the prize.D . The notes would become more valuable than a regular tip.14. From the passage we can know that .A. the second note sold for more moneyB. Roni Grosz is painting a picture of EinsteinC . Einstein went to Japan to give some lecturesD . the two notes brought great wealth to the bellboy15. Which of the following is most similar to Einstein's “theory for happiness”？A . People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.B . Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.C . Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.D .The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.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。

精编2021-2022高二英语下学期第一次月考试题(含解析)
2021-2022高二下学期第一次月考英语试题基础知识部分：从下面选项中找出正确的答案：（共计30题，每题1分）1. Where is the window ____ glass is broken ?A. whichB. thatC. whoseD. its【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。
句意：玻璃破了的窗户在哪里？此处为定语从句修饰先行词window，且先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。
故选C。
2. All ____ can be done has been done .A. thatB. whatC. whichD. of which 【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。
句意：能做的都做了。
此处空处到can be done为定语从句修饰先行词all，先行词为all，在从句中作主语，只能用that引导。
故选A。
3. This is the car ____ which he came here.A. byB. inC. atD. on【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。
句意：这就是他来这里的车。
本句是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词 the car 在从句中作介词in的宾语，即in the car，by 表示乘座或使用交通工具时，后面不能用冠词，即by car。
故选B项。
4. I’ll never forget the day ___ I spent with them .A. in whichB. on whichC. whenD. that【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。
句意：我永远不会忘记我和他们在一起的那一天。
分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是the day，关系词在定语从句中作动词spent的宾语，所以空处需用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。
故选D。
5. That is the only place ____ we can visit next month .A. whereB. thatC. whichD. to which 【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。

T hese drivers know how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.“What’s unique(独特的) is that we use a lot of data and we analyze thatso that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system has many functions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the whole road network, including surface streetsas well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes ClearPath will be used all over the world once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with panies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.24.

One by one, graffiti （涂鸦)-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals （壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any otherAmerican city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens are very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of munity （社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. "The making of a mural enters people's collective(共同的) memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.28.

They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers arejust the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy－games, CDs and clothing－are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may e sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are ing out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school－88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online－mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is throughprepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as ￡20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.32.
