The passage is likely to be taken from .A. an official reportB. an amusement magazineC. a science magazineD. a news reportBLast Saturday on the way to the mall, two children, a boy and a girl, came running towards me with bottles on their hands, asking if I wanted bottled water. It was a surprising gesture. I was wondering if they were doing fund-raising. I knelt and asked them where their parents were and how much a bottle of water cost. Then two adult women came up to me explaining what the children were doing. “We are teaching the children to give without anything in return. We are teaching people to accept without giving in return.”Two mothers had bought bottled water and placed a sticker(小贴纸)on all bottles with five different quotes(引述):1.Smile at everyone. You’ll never know when someone may need it.2.If Plan A does not work, there are 25 more letters in the alphabets.3.Have a thirst for life. Every day is filled with possibilities.4.In your thirst for knowledge, be sure you don’t drown in all the information.5.Dig your well before you’re thirsty.The bottle I have has quoted No. 5. A sudden change of attitude opened up among me, the mothers and the children. We are no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time chatting and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water.One young lady was so thankful that she happily accepted the water and said it was the best thing that happened to her all day since she had a bad day at work. A man refused and walked away saying “No, thanks”. A couple kept on bowing to us in gratitude. When it was all done, the children and I were giving each other high-five. It was so much fun. I think I had more fun doing this than the mothers and the children.25.How did the author feel when he was offered bottled water?A. EmbarrassedB. SurprisedC. ExcitedD. Disappointed26.Different quotes were placed on the bottles to .A. inspire others to think positivelyB. show how rich and colorful our life isC. encourage people to get more bottled waterD. explain why at times abandonment is necessary facing trouble27.What did the author do after chatting with them?A. He bought the rest of the bottled water.B. He gave away some money for charity.C. He decided to meet with them regularly.D. He joined them in being kind to strangers.28.What do we know from the last paragraph?A. People responded quite differently to this activity.B. Children had more fun doing this than adults.C. This random(随机的)act of kindness is warmly welcomed.D. The author learned a lot from this random act of kindness.CThe most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.There are several rea sons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of success. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow your self belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.29. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?A. The low abilities.B. The lack of security.C. The loss of self-confidence.D. The severe competition in life.30. What’s Paragraph 3 main ly about?A. How to achieve success.B. How to keep one’s self-confidence.C. The challenges that one should overcome.D. The reasons that affect one’s self-confidence.31. In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A. should not forget his failuresB. should follow others’ adviceC. should not lose heartD. should adjust to lifeDAnna Schiferl hadn’t even got out of bed when she reached for her cellphone and typed a text to her mom, one recent Saturday. Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen. The text? Anna wanted an egg for breakfast. Soon after, Joanna Schiferl called, “If you want to talk to me, Anna, come downstairs and see me!” Anna laughs about it now.“I was kind of being lazy,” she admits.These days, many people with cellphones prefer texting to a phone call. And that’s creating a communication divide of sorts—the talkers vs. the texters. Some would argue that it’s no big deal. But many experts say the most successful communicators will, of course, have the competence to do both. And they fear that more of us are unable to have—or at least are avoiding—the traditional face-to-face conversations.Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class. “I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question, they e-mail me, often late at night,”says Renee Houston, a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington State. “And they never call.”As Anna sees it: “There are people you’ll text, but won’t call.It’s just a way to stay in touch with each other.” Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected. “The problem is that the conversation isn’t very deep,”says Joseph Grenny, co-author of the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High.“The problem has been there since we’ve had telephones—probably since the time of a telegraph,”Grenny says. Texting is just the latest way to do that. Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves, Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones. He says that they also should set limits, as Anna’s mom did when she made the “no texting to people in the same house” rule.32.According to Paragraph 1, Joanna .A. did not know how to use a cell phoneB. was very strict with her daughterC. was angry that her daughter got up lateD. did not have any breakfast that morning33.The underlined word “competence” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A. chanceB. courageC. abilityD. patience34. In Joseph Grenny’s opinion, .A. cell phones make people lonelierB. telephones help people communicate clearlyC. talking should be encouraged instead of textingD. texting helps people have deeper conversations35.What is the best title of the passage mainly?A. Why is communication important?B. Is texting ruining the art ofconversation?C. How does texting affect kids at school?D. How can we avoid one-sided conversations?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。

AWhen I was growing up，I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl，a spy or a great actress．Not a dentist，like my father，or a homemaker，like my mother-certainly not a writer，although I always loved to read．I didn't know anything abut writers，even though I loved to make up stories inside my head．I made up stories while I bounced （反弹）a ball against the side of our house．I made up stories playing with paper dolls．And I made them up while I practiced the piano，by pretending to give piano lessons．I always had an active imagination．But I never wrote down any of my stories．When I grew up，my need for story telling didn't go away．So when my own two children started pre-school I began to write and I've been writing ever since!My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start to write a book about them．Then，they become so real to me that I talk about them at the dinner table as if they were real．Some people consider this weird．But my family understand．Many of my books are set in New Jersey because that's where I was born and raised．I lived there until my kids finished elementary school．Then we moved to New Mexico，the setting for Tiger Eyes．I also spent two years in Connecticut，where Just As Long As We're Together and Here's To You，Rachel Robinson are set．I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well．Now I live in New York City with my husband，George Cooper．Between us we have three grown children and one grandchild．Our lives are busy，sometimes too much so，but never dull．And yes，I'm still writing．1．When the writer was young she___．A．heard many love stories B．enjoyed writing story booksC．never thought of becoming a writer D．could make up stories of different people 2．The writer always had a gift for___．A．playing at home alone B．creating all kinds of storiesC．attracting other's attention D．solving problems by herself3. The writer started to write when___．A．she began primary school B．her first grandchild was bornC．her children started preschool D．she got married to George Cooper4 ．What can be conclude from the text？___A．It is never too late to learn．B．Well begun is half done．C．Actions speak louder than words．D．Interest is the best teacher．BA funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution：we stopped talking to one another．I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation．There we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation．The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction(互动)．With email and instant messaging over the internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another．With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone．If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine．As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated(自动化), the alienation index(疏远指数)goes up．You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more．Directory assistance is almost always fully automated．I am not against modern technology．I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account．Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us．It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy．More and more．I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation．Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk．The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier…or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts．So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home．5.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．The Advance of Communications TechnologyB．The Consequences of modern TechnologyC．The Story of Communications RevolutionD .The Automation of Modern Communications6.The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”means that _________．A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone callB. you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside youC.modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face to face talkD.people can now go to work without going to the office now7.The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________．A．satisfying B．encouraging C．disappointing D．embarrassing8.The passage implies that _________．A．modern technology is bridging the peopleB．modern technology is separating the peopleC．modern technology is developing too fastD．modern technology is interrupting our communicationCWhen was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for .”My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .”It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 0. 1 miles to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!”And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?9.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．The kindness of strangers B．Valuable friendship .C．Two special experiences D．Helping others is worthwhile10. Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?A．Because she didn’t like the dishes.B．Because she quarreled with her friendC．Because her friend only talked about himself.D．Because she was sad for her last relationship.11.The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.A．being hurt by the wall B．winning the gameC．taking a deep breath D．running out of energyDOne morning there was a message on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining about her lack of service－service that had been stopped because her check had bounced(拒付).As it is my job to handle payments received, it was my duty to collect the check. As is often the case when a check bounces, I soon found that this woman's phone number was no longer in service. A check of the caller I.D. told us the call had come from the manager's office of the apartment building where our customer。

Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I put my sneakers on and went out.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn’t help breathing it deeply. I stretched my arms and legs, and then started to run. I found all the things around me were attractive. The branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me. The blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. The wind was whispering, as if to say “Come on, girl”. Two birds, perching (栖息) in a tree were the most interesting. They were scared and flew away w hen I passed them. “Hey, relax,” I shouted without stopping running. “Let’s enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then a wonder happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They chirped again and again, and it sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful the life is!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous works Three Days To See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore beauty around us, just because we are familiar with it. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with the appreciation of things aroun d, you’ll find life is very charming. So, let’s enjoy life from now on.6. The underlined sent ence “The seeing see little” probably means “_______”.A. People who go sight-seeing often see littleB. Those who can see enjoy nature very muchC. People who can see hardly notice the beauty of natureD. Those who go out only see few things7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer got up as soon as her alarm clock rang.B. The writer struggled to get up at 6:20 the next morning.C. The writer was tired of the birds’ singing and frightened them away.D. The writer always complained that life was boring.8. What does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?A. We should appreciate the beauty of life.B. Physical exercise is very useful.C. Birds are very lovely.D. The fresh air outside is wonderful.CWe all h ate speed cameras, don’t we? They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents. They just make money for the government. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, distract us from driving properly and are plain unfair.Well, here’s a sur prising thing: What if there are facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety. There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France, for example, but that had dropped to 4412 by 2005 following the introduction of rules such as compulsory(义务的) seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995. In 2019, the road deaths dropped below 2,500 for the first time, or 5.2 percent less than 2015. That’s about 409 deaths per million people compared with Australi a’s 387.And guess what? In 2019, the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 30,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments about increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, bu t it seems in France there’s been a major cultural changebrought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130 km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. There’s even an official website listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.Maybe it is because of such transparency（透明）by the government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French people can enjoy joy of living thanks to speed cameras.9. According to the first paragraph, it seems to most people that speed cameras areused to __________.A. make money for the governmentB. slow down the trafficC. lower the number of road accidentsD. help us drive properly10. From the passage we can learn that __________.A. France has a very poor record of road safety nowB. w e’d better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livesC. France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005D. France has successfully controlled road accidents11. Now in France, you seldom see __________.A. people driving at a speed of less than 130 km/hB. people having a long lunch time, getting drunk and rushing back to the officeC. drivers obeying the traffic lightsD. police conducting traffic in streets12. The underlined word “concealment” in the last paragraph means “ _______”.A. hidingB. opennessC. strictnessD. peaceDMy mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed---my mother becamemy child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling hectic and tens e, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I am cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness. Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend(冒犯) anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my jo b as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m f eeling overwhelmed（不知所措的）, but that they take care of my mother voluntarily. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.13.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. How I Cared for My Sick MotherB. What I Have Learned from Alzheimer’sC. How I Became More TolerantD. Why I Am Feeling Overwhelmed14.Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer patients?A. Being sensitive to others’ moodsB. Being curious about everythingC. Being afraid of strange peopleD. Being particular about clothes15.We can infer that the writer’s daughters are ________.A. considerateB. selfishC. traditionalD. naughty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。

【2020】高二英语下学期4月月考试题
away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I haveattention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are nodifferent from y our classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all becameclear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived ina time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” s tudents? My thoughts spillI didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day---with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”25.The author didn’t finish the reading in classbecause .A. He was new to the classB. He was tired of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home26.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from school27.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging28.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They movedtheir family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to workin the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed weMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their free time.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forcesof nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.33.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.A. there is not certain rule for climbers to follow.B. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it can’t bring people joy and leisure。
