AHello. I'm Jan from Mrs. Lake's class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt（收养）a highway.Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part ofthe highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!21. What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?A. Giving names to the highways.B. Drawing pictures of highways.C. Picking up litter along the roads.D. Putting up signs near the roads.22. What is the purpose of this speech?A. To encourage students to join the program.B. To introduce the traffic system.C. To show drivers how to drive safely.D. To tell a story about adopting a highway.23. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t miss the meetingB. V olunteers on RoadsC. Ways to Protect the EnvironmentD. Adopt-a-HighwayBCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions t hat use the word cold. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold –blooded. Cold –blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do cruel things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet –that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.24．The text is intended to tell us that_____.A．cold weather has a great effect on human bodies.B．many English expressions contain the word cold.C．cold is a word all used to describe human emotions.D．the word cold has many different meanings in English.25．Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?A．Cold-blooded. B．To get cold feet.C．A cold shoulder. D．A cold fish.26．If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say Tom________.A．is given the cold shoulder. B．is punished by a cold fish.C．is left out in the cold. D．has got cold feet.27．The five expressions mentioned in the text all _____.A．have a negative meaning. B．come from physical acts.C．relate to a kind of animal. D．have a connection with the human body.CCanada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages.In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.28. How many provinces are there in Canada?A. TenB.NineC.ElevenD.Two29. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?A. France.B. Britain.C. America.D. Germany.30. Which of the following sentences is Right?A. English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.C. All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.D. In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.31. In Canad a’s English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?A. Students have to complete a special French language course.B. Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.C. If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all hislessons may be in French.D. When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.DTo American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island—quite a few ―No's‖．There is no pollution, for instance, no dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the whole month of July, and only three hours of blackand--white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor（酒）on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There is no handguns; only one prison of thirty five rooms in the whole land—an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping（给小费）for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is located just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures between 34 degrees and 52 degrees in July.The rules on television liquor and guns are the result of government decisions. But the absence of pollution is because of in great part the fact that Iceland gets its power from the thousands of hot springs(泉水) that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.Iceland has been described as a democratic（民主的）independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They wrote their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first, the stories were remembered and passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. ―Rather shoeless than bookless，‖ they proudly say.32．American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because ________.A．no dogs are permitted in the capitalB．the police do not carry handgunsC．the climate is rather mildD．it is very different from Americans33．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A．there are no soldiers in IcelandB．the Icelanders don't drink beerC．there is no tip of any kindD．there are no crimes（犯罪）in Iceland34．There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because ________.A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerB．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energyC．it is located just under the Arctic CircleD．it is a democratic independent country35．―Rather shoeless than bookless‖ means ________.A．they prefer not to have shoe or booksB．they would rather have shoes on than write booksC．they prefer travelling to readingD．they regard books more important than shoes第三部分完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

As we were leaving, we found that only min utes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was withher, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was em barrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset abo ut what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flo wers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy th e lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was am azed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went o ver to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told hi m, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give h er this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so m uch, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, tellingher who it was from.

）AIt all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen was n’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the no tes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboa rd. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen,I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite sho ws.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three da ys later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd (书呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses o n as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Th eresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the gra ssy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them o n. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I d idn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!”“Thanks,” Car men replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girl s praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glass es won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.1. According to the text, Carmen ______.A. doesn’t like doing homeworkB. often tells lies to her teacherC. cares how well she does in lessonsD. has trouble getting along with her classmates2.

Whe n they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bus hes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village. The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire. The boys left their bicycles and ran towards th e village to see if they could help to fight the fire. On the way t hey met two firemen.“Quick, you boys,” said one of the firemen. “Come and help u s to pull a pump (泵) to the stream. We can’t beat out the fire. The wind is too strong. The pump is our only hope.”The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump. Th ey helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village.Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch th e fire. It had already reached the edge of the village. The boys saw that two houses were on fire, and the flames were attack ing a third building. Suddenly there was a shout from one of th e villagers.“Keep away!” a voice shouted. “There’s paint stored in that bu ilding.” The boys and villagers moved away quickly. With a lou d explosion (爆炸), the whole building burst into flames, sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky.At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole villag e would be burnt to the ground. The firemen had left the burni ng buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighboring houses, trying to stop the fire from spreading. Then the wind died down. A second pump was brought up to help, and the fir e was gradually put out.“It’s soon finished,” Peter said to his friend. “We must go or w e shall get home late.”“Yes, come on,” agreed Jim, and witha last look at the ruins, they walked back to their bicycles.4.

According to the text, _____.A. no one knew how the fire broke outB. two pumps were used to put out the fireC. two buildings were burnt down during the fireD. the boys didn’t leave until the fire was put outCScientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help rem ove land mines from the countryside. Land mines are small b ombs (炸弹) hidden in the ground and designed to explode when some one steps on them.When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines a nd then signal to their human team. Then why use rats for suc h an important job?In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more, the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to t ake care of one dog as it does 70 rats.The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African cou ntry with many land mines. Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her t eam in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats. The se are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in l aboratory experiments. “They even train their babies to perfor m their jobs, which saves us a lot of time,”Méndez said. Colombia has the second-highest rate (比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people — 56 of whom were children. A criminal (犯罪的) group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia , or FARC, as well as other organizations, have placed the mi nes. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government. The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.In the past, the Colombian government hired peasants and po or farmers to find mines. Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.Colombian police official Erick Gu zmán hopes the team of rat s can come to the rescue. “These rats will be a great help,” he said.8. How do rats help to find land mines?A. By their sense of smell.B. By their light weight.C. By their special sight.D. By their excellent hearing.9. The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is that __ ___.A. they are clevererB. they run fasterC. they have a better sense of smellD. they don’t make mi nes explode as easily10. The underlined word “They” may refer to _____.A. dogsB. scientistsC. Wistar ratsD. Méndez and her team11. What is the text mainly about?A. People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.B. Specially-trained rats help clear land mines.C. Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.D. Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians.DThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and h igher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re so mething scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, rid ing in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight. Now scientists are making effo rts to reduce the expense of those rides.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a spac e elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable（绳索）— more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equ ator orbit (绕……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weigh t on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must a lso be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it . One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from th e moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would the n take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials with out much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.12. The first paragraph is presented by _____.A. giving an exampleB. making a comparisonC. asking questionsD. analyzing causes13. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper.B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.A. the cableB. the equatorC. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable15. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon.B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth.D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.第二节: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。

吉林省毓文中学2017-2018学年高三9月月考英语试题 Word版含答案
2017-2018学年度高三第一次月考英语试题第一部分听力（1-20小题）在笔试结束后（考试最后二十分钟）进行。
第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI’m a speed reader. Have been since I was a teen. Mother worked for the continuing education department of a university, and they were offering a class on speed reading and needed one more person to fill out the class. I became that one person.The class met for only an hour or two for a few weeks, but when the goal of a class is speed, you don’t need to meet for long. The instructor said to make our eye s go across the lines of words as fast as they could and not to be concerned about what the words meant. I read Animal Farm in 10 ten minutes. Cover to cover. The instructor asked what the book was about. I said I didn’t know, but if I had to guess I’d say it was about animals on a farm. He looked displeased.I’ve been speed reading ever since. I can’t stop and I can’t slow down. Today, for example, I plan on reading Churchill’s History of the English Speaking Peoples over lunch. I hope it’s more memorable than Animal Farm.As a result of all this speed-reading, I often experience a delay between what I think I read and what something actually says.The other day I passed by a mall with a large sign that said “Auto Theft Sale”. I thought how efficient it was for auto thieves to simply sell all the stole cars in a big tent at the mall. A half-mile later it dawned on me that the sign had said “Auto Tent Sale”.Every time I drive through a construction zone, I gasp (屏气). The sign says: “Hit a Worker $10, 000 (ab out 62,000 yuan).” It reads like they’re offering a reward. Of course, it’s not an offer. It’s just that my eyes rarely take in the last line that says, “Fine.” It’s a $10, 000 fine if you hit a worker. Someone really needs to rephrase that one.Speed reading has bitten me on the backside more than once. Especially as a writer. Just ask any of my editors.21. Why was the author able to attend classes on speed reading?A. She took a chance and filled one vacancy (空缺).B. She was the only teenager applicant for the class.C. She’d already practiced speed reading before.D. Her mother found her gifted in speed reading.22. What left the instructor unsatisfied in the class?A. It took the author ten minutes to complete Animal Farm.B. The class was only an hour or two for a few weeks.C. The author read fast but didn’t get the main idea of the book.D. All the class actually failed to follow his advice.23. The author tends to prove that there is always a delay in her understanding after speedreading by ________.A. making comparisonsB. analyzing cause and effectC. drawing a conclusionD. giving examples24. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Talented and productive.B. Proud and hot-headed.C. Careless and quick-tempered.D. Truthful and humorous.BA trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping culture you’ve never come across in China.In the US, giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour, employees receiving tips—often waiters and waitresses—are the exceptions. They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour, and tips make up the difference. As the Wall Street Journal put it, “The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill. Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected. You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.Yet there is an exception. For take-out food, you don’t have to pro vide tips, though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra—but maybe a little less.Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants, cafés or ice cream shops either, though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机). Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in, but also remember that it doesn’t hurt. Those workers do not rely on tips.Other service workers also receive tips. For taxi drivers, 15 percent is the norm (标准), more if they help with your bags. Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill. The same goes for spa therapists and tour guides.Today, you can even pay tips on a credit card. When receiving a copy of the bill to sign, you are free to fill in how much y ou’d like to tip.Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people, it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning, things will be just fine.25. According to the Wall Street Journal, the American system of tipping ________.A. helps restaurants profit moreB. supports satisfactory pay for waiting staffC. encourages better serviceD. encourages more respect to the waiting staff26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. We don’t necessarily have to pay tips at McDonalds’.B. Consumers can choose tip by credit card.C. We should always tip in a restaurant.D. Consumers usually pay 15% of the bill as tips.27. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards tipping?A. Giving tips is a big headache for Chinese.B. There are too many rules to follow when tipping.C. Tipping system should not apply to foreigners.D. We need to take it easy and do as the Romans do.C Toast (土司), perfume and washing powder are the smells most likely to hit you when you walk through the door of your home, according to a new study.Researchers have identified(确认) the whiffs which they claim make a house a home, with washing powder making up 34 percent. Freshly made toast accounts for another 22 percent, while perfume makes up 17 percent. Other smells which will typically hit you as you step through front doors around Britain include last night’s dinner (10 percent), flowers (12 percent), coffee (5 percent) and pets.Seven percent of Britons—around 1.5 million—claim that a unique smell is what makes their house a home, above the furniture or decoration. Half admit the smell of home makes them feel safe and warm, while it leaves one in 10 feeling worried or upset. A third of people have tried to recreate a certain smell to make them feel more at home. A further third have put off buying a property because of how it smells and three quarters believe you can find out a great deal about a person from the smell of their home. Four in 10 people have avoided visiting someone because of the smell of their home.The study also found that one in five people love the smell of their home so much they want to bottle it and take it with them. Three in 10 wish they could have smells of their own home while on holiday. A further two in 5 would like to smell their living room while out shopping as the smell of home makes a third feel relaxed and stress-free.Professor Tim Jacob, an expert in the psychology of smell, said, “Smells make a house a home because of the positive associations being ‘home’ has. Your home is filled with the things you love—your children, partner, perfume, pets—so when you smell them, you instantly feel better and at ease.People respond(反应) well to familiar smells. Those which are alien(陌生的) make us feel on edge until we’ve identified the source and assessed that it’s not harmful.28. According to the passage, all the following make up the smell of a home EXCEPT ______.A. partnerB. perfumeC. coffeeD. toast29. The underlined word “whiffs” is closest to “_________” in meaning.A. scenesB. sensesC. emotionsD. smells30. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that ______.A. people are influenced greatly by smellsB. smells shape one’s personalityC. smells influence one’s purchaseD. smells make one’s house unique31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Professor Tim is convinced that smells of home are connected with the beloved.B. All the Britons don’t admit that the smell of home makes them at ease.C. Freshly-made toast makes up the largest percent of home smells.D. We don’t feel safe unless we confirm the origin of some unfamiliar smells.DDear Parent/Guardian,There has been a case of Pertussis (百日咳) reported at Hilltop High. Your child may have been exposed to this highly infectious disease that causes severe coughing.

Visit the websites /video/pertussis.asp or . to learn more about Pertussis.4. Parents of children without symptoms may consider making an appointment for the child to see their doctor.If you have any additional questions about Pertussis, you may call the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, Epidemiology and Immunization Services at 1-866-358-2966 and press 5 to speak with a Public Health Nurse.Sincerely,Priscilla Nueve, School Nurse32.
