ADear Jorge,Are you enjoying your break from school? My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capital Building, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt’s home to Calistoga to see California’s Old Faithful Geyser(老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California; Where You Should Go.You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser father north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called“ Little Old Faithful.”When we arrived California’s Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn’t look very deep. “ What’s the big deal?” I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California’s Old Faithful Geyser. I’d love to learn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home. I’llsee you soon!Your friend,Bennetto21.According to the text, Bennetto ___________.A. visited his aunt Gloria by himself.B. had never heard of Old Faithful Geyser..

AngerB. DoubtC. CourageD. Excitement24. Bennetto wrote the letter mainly to_____________.A. talk about his holiday experiences.B. ask Jorge to visit Old Faithful Geyser.C. express his thankfulness to Aunt Gloria.D. give Yellowstone National Park some advice.BIn the last 30 years, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted nearly 300,000 wishes worldwide to children battling life-threatening illnesses, throwing light on worlds darkened by diseases and bringing hope to children and their families.With a foreword(序)by Make-A-Wish cofounder Frank Shankwitz, Once Upon A wish shares the wishes and stories of eight children. These families generously invite us into their worlds, allowing us to become part of their darkest moments, their unimaginable realities, their greatest hopes, deepest fears, and unbelievable successes.Experience the story of Katelyn, a little girl, becoming a medical marvel(奇迹)after lighting all the odds stacked against her and making it her life-long goal to raise $3 million for St. Jude Hospital; read about a wheelchair-bound boy, Garrett, giving the gift of mobility to disabled Cambodian men and women; cheer for a little boy, Dakota, who collects millions of pennies each year to help others fight the disease he once fought.

Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked.She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven(编织),” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “bu t first I will take you to the Navajo village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked.“What should I have noticed?”I looked at her and asked.“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针)missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!“But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked.“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end hascome--it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”28. The blanket the author received_____ .A. was poorly woven.B. made her think a lot.C. cost her a lot of money.D. was finished, but not ready.29. Why was the author shown around the village?A. To buy more things made by the Navajo.B. To make friends with some of the Navajo.C. To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.D. To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.30. Which of the following may the Navajo believe?A. A stitch in time is very important.B. Life only becomes perfect when you die.C. He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.D. You must always try to make your life complete.31. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The Navajo are good at making things.B. The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C. A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D. Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.DThe way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuelsand technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料)and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油)fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精)stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By making classifications.B. By listing numbers.C. By following time order.D. By describing a process.33. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A. People should use an effective air cleaner.B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.35. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The way we cook is changing.B. Cause of indoor air pollution.C. The development of electric stoves.D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.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。

绝密★启用前贵州省都匀市第一中学2018-2019学年高二12月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Festivals in Wales this springThere’s lots to see, do and experience in Wales this spring. And now it’s time to embrace all things new and get ready to be entertained in the spring, come rain or shine.Wrexham, 10-12 MayThe annual festival showcases over 200 acts consisting of music, comedy, film and more. Since its opening event in 2011, Focus Wales has done a lot for emerging(新兴的)musicians across the country, and 2018 sees Welsh Music Prize winner The Gentle Good and Y Selar Best Band winners. Candelas, take the stage.Aberystwyth, 19-29 MayWhether you prefer Hill Climbs or Sportives, the AberCycle Festival allows you to take all of it in from the saddle(鞍)of a bike, enjoying the world’s most beautiful scenery. However, all work and no play makes us all dull boys and girls, so while you’re in town be sure to pop in to one or two of the plenty of pubs in Aber(as the locals call it)for a nice, cold pint of Brains beer. You’ll need it after all th at cycling!Hay on Wye, 25-28 MayThe world’s biggest music and philosophy festival returns in 2018 with its unique mix of tunes, talks and trapeze(吊杠)(yes, there are even circus performers!)Based in the magical surroundings of Hay on Wye, this four day festival takes place at the end of May and is perfect for everyone who likes a side of intellectualism(理智主义)with their traditional festival experience.Lawrenny, 25-28 MayIn late May in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park, the Big Retreat Wales takes place. Essentially the festival is about wellness, but it’s also so much more than that. Join in this May for four days of “fed good”, leaving your usual routine behind and diving into a delightful mix of workshops, activities, music and sustainable food produce.1.The festivals in Wales are held annually .A.in early May B.inside and outside of WalesC.in rainy or sunny weather D.for locals only2.What is special about Aberystwyth, 19-29 May?A.You can find a place to relax after the activity.B.You can meet your favorite band winners.C.It has an atmosphere of natural beauty and tradition.D.It doesn’t last long enough.3.Jane is an office worker and fitness enthusiast and wants to experience something unusual. Which festival do you suggest she go to?A.Wrexham, 10-12 May B.Aberystwyth, 19-29 MayC.Hay on Wye, 25-28 May D.Lawrenny, 25-28 May【答案】1.C2.A3.D【解析】本文是应用文。

主要叙述了今年春天的威尔士节日时能看到的,做的和体验至的项目。

1.细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“There’s lots to see, do and experience in Wales this spring. And now it’s time to embrace all things new and get ready to be entertained in the spring, come rain or shine.”可知,威尔士节日不论是雨天还是晴天,都会举行。

其中的shine为意为“好天气”与sunny是同义词,rainy是rain的形容词。

分析选项可知C项最为符合。

故选C项。

2.推理判断题。

根据Aberystwyth, 19-29 May 中的内容all work and no play makes us all dull boy s and girls, so while you’re in town be sure to pop in to one or two of the plenty of pubs in Aber(as the locals call it)for a nice, cold pint of Brains beer. You’ll need it after all that cycling!可知,当你在镇里时,去到酒吧内喝点冰凉的啤酒很流行。

骑自行车之后你需要它!由此可推断出,活动之后你可以去酒吧喝酒休息,即活动后有地方休息的。

分析选项可知A项正确。

3.推理判断题。

根据Lawrenny, 25-28 May中的…Essentially the festival is about wellness, but it’s also so much more than that. …, l eaving your usual routine behind …这个节日本质上就是关于健康健身的,但它不仅仅如此。

你可以丢掉你的日常惯例,加入…。

由此可知,这个节日的目的就是如果你热爱健身,想体验不同寻常的东西,就可以来这儿。

分析选项可知D项符合题意。

故选D项。

Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.4.We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A.loud noises B.some cropsC.video cameras D.angry bees5.As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .A.works by herself in AfricaB.needs to test more elephant groupsC.has stopped elephants eating cropsD.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms6.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A.To record the sound of bees.B.To make a video of elephants.C.To see if elephants would run away.D.To find out more about the behavior of bees.7.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D.Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.【答案】4.D5.B6.A7.C【解析】试题分析:一项最新的研究表明大象会害怕蜜蜂,为了让农民利用蜜蜂的声音防止大象破坏庄稼,Lucy做了实验,实验表明大象对于蜜蜂的声音是畏惧的,但是为了更有效的证明它的效果,Lucy还要进一步进行研究。
