【英语】江西省南昌市八一中学2014-2015学年高二5月月考
2015年5月南昌市八一中学高二英语月考试卷第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共100分）第一部分：听力理解（共两节，30分）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.AIn America, it’s very common for people to become voluntary workers. It is very much a part of the American way of life to donate one's time and services. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach children how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. V olunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help children without parents.High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program, or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism (理想主义) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.Fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of 'trick or treat' has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.21. Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.B. Some students bring meals to old people who can't go out easily.C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.22. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?A. Because they want to participate in some social activities.B. Because they want to go to better universities.C. Because they can get higher scores at school.D. Because they can realize their dream sooner.23. The underlined word "destitute" in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. lifelessB. pennilessC. uselessD. valueless24. American charitable activities started because .A. Americans are always ready to share with othersB. Americans are mostly kindC. poor immigrants needed help badlyD. poor Americans couldn't live on without helpBSingapore is the smallest country from the South-East Asia, with a surface of 630 square kilometers and with a population of 2 million inhabitants. The capital and the only city is Singapore, and the official languages are malaise, mandarin, tamil and English. It is a heavily industrialized city, but tourism is also an important branch of the economy.Located just 15 minutes from the capital city, Sentosa, The State of Fun, welcomes a growing number of local and international guests every year, which is Asia’s leading leisure destination.The 150-year old Singapore Botanic Gardens is located on Mt. Perry Road. This Gardens possesses an array of botanical and horticultural attractions with a rich history and a wonderfulplant collection of worldwide significance. The lake in the garden with its habitat of over 120 species of birds is the heart of the Botanic Gardens. Other attractions here include the picnic areas, nursery plants, boardwalks and a themed children’s park.The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is a Buddhist temple and museum complex located in the Chinatown district of Singapore. The temple is based on the Tang dynasty architectural style and built to house the tooth relic of the historical Buddha. The main parts of it are the One Hundred Dragons Hall and the Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic Chamber. Apart from these, one can find many ancient goods which were given to Lord Buddha. In addition to this, tourists can also experience the taste of China by touring Chinatown.In fact, there are many m ore destinations which can offer you wonderful memories, so don’t hesitate to pay Singapore a visit.25.From the first paragraph we can learn that Singapore .A. is the cultural heart of AsiaB. is a tourism countryC. is only famous for its templeD. has more natural sights than the man-made ones.26.

The study suggests doubling the price of sugary drinks, restricting their sale to those over 17 or 18, and tightening regulations in schools and snack bars.The article also reveals that worldwide consumption of sugar has tripled (增长三倍)during the past 50 years and is viewed as a key cause of the obesity epidemic. It concludes that responsibility lies in the food companies, saying that while they may resist change, shift in policy are possible if the pressure is great enough.The ar ticle ends, “these simple measures are taken for granted as tools for our public health and well-being. It’s time to turn our attention to sugar.”However other scientists disagree. Barbara Gallani, of the food and Drink Federation, said that while urgent action was needed to beat heart and other diseases, it was wrong to focus on sugar alone. She added, “The causes of these diaeases are various. The key to good health is balanced and varied diet in a lifestyle that includes plenty of physical activities.”29. What is stressed in the first two paragraphs?A. Sugar is widely abused.B. The main cause of illnesses like obesity and heart disease.C. The sale of sugar is tightly regulated.D. The damage caused by sugar to the body.30. According to The Toxic Truth About Sugar,A. it is important to teach children about diet and exercise.B. obesity is a bigger problem than malnourishment.C. taxes and other regulations are ways to solve the sugar problem.D. the increasing number of malnourished people is mainly due to sugar .31. Which of the following may Barbara Gallani most agree with?A. It’s time to turn our attention to sugar.B. Control on sugar alone can not solve these health problems.C. Sugar has nothing to do with such diseases as heart disease.D. It is important to improve the medical services in the hospital.32. The underlined word, “restricting”, in Para.4 , most probably means .A. limitingB. recoveringC. keepingD. promotingDThe colors started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best.Green said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."Blue interrupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."Yellow chuckled: " The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."Orange started next: "I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, oranges and mangoes. When I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."Red could stand it no longer so he shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood, and life's blood! I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love."Purple was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People donot question me! They listen and obey."Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. Without me you will become superficial . You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."And so the colors went on quarreling, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening, and thunder rolled. Rain started to pour down.Rain began to speak: "You foolish colors. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose? Join hands with one another and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors joined hands and united.Rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow. Let's remember to appreciate one another."33. Which of the following can be supported by what Orange said?A. Life and hope.B. Peace and serenity.C. Health and strength.D. Passion and love.34. What does the underlined word, “superficial”, in Para.8 , most probably means?A. superior.B. shallow.C. strong.D. stressful.35. Which of the following proverbs can best sum up the main idea of the passage?A. Two heads are better than one.B. Well begun is half done.C. Two wrongs do not make a right.D. Union is strength.第二节：七选五36Anything you do to protect the planet helps all creatures, including fishes and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide. And yes—just one kid, like you , can make a difference. Here are ideas for easy, small things you can do.Here are 6 actions you can take to make a difference.① Do n’t litter.Trash thrown away carelessly outside often washes into a stormdrains (排水沟), which empty into rivers and streams that eventually flow to the oceans. Pollution is a growing problem for all the Earth’s oceans and its wildlife, including whales.②37Whether you are buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag. By carrying your own reusable bag, you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewer(下水道), and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wildlife.③ Plant a tree.38 They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, a gas that animals , including humans, produce naturally as they breathe. But because CO2 also comes from cars and factories, there is too much of it in the atmosphere, which is contributing to global warming . If everyone planted one tree, those trees would remove a large amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.④39Every time you leave a room for more than a minute, turn off the light you were using. In this way, you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.⑤ Use rechargeable batteries only.You’d have to use hundreds of single—use batteries to equal the energy you’d get from one rechargeable battery. 40 Be sure to recycle all batteries to keep harmful metals from entering the environment.⑥ Try the family challenge!Many streams and rivers are polluted and littered with trash. You and your family can help preserve the waterways by joining others in your community to pick up trash.第三部分：英语知识运用。

高二英语月考试题及答案-南昌市第二中学2014-2015学年高二下学期第二次月考
南昌二中2014—2015学年度下学年第二次考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷（共105分）第一部分：听力（共20小题；满分30分)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)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAs an American artist and writer of children’s books, Tasha Tudor’s art and nineteenth-century lifestyle have fascinated adults and children for decades. She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature. When people talk about her creativity in artwork, she said, “I do it to support my dogs and my four children.” Her great publishing record, the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years, and her admirers have no effects on her at all.Much of Tasha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime. “I love winter. It’s delightful,” she says. “I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home. If I’m snowed in, I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early, deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter, and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(梦幻)way of life, it’s not surprising that Tasha’s Christmas is a storybook holiday. She hangs flowers over the front door. Her tree comes from the woods, and it goes up on Christmas Eve, lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great- grandmother’s co llection that dates from 1850. In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls; so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree. “Of course, it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,” she has written. Small, handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year, Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect, that she hasagain ignored the twentieth century, and that the magic continues. And for the rest of us，here’s a bit of advice, Tasha style: “Nowadays, people are so restless. If they took some tea and spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊) in the evening listening to light music, they might enjoy life mo re.”21. Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to ________.A. read stories to her grandchildrenB. show her DIY snowshoes to kidsC. stay indoors working during readingD. enjoy bicycle tiding along the path22. From the passage, we can learn that Tasha’s life is ________.A. modern and fashionableB. simple and fantasticC. lonely and hardD. adventurous and inspiring23. Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha?A. She cared little about fame.B. She created an animal fund.C. She wrote many stories for magazines.D. She bought presents for her relatives.24. In which section of a paper can you probably read the article?A. Travel.B. Sports.C. Economy.D. People.BIn today’s world of cellphones，mini laptops and MP3 players, most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common，is time running out for the 500-year-old watch？According to some consumers，yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”．Many young adults agree—and use their cellphones to tell time. Louis Galie, a senior vice president at Timex，said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s.By then，they are willing to spend money on a quality timepiece that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago，watchmakers boasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory business. And for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications”—features that go beyond simple timekeeping—are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a lot of features that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers, compasses，lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example，Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s po pular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a futuristic(未来主义的)bracelet than a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker, EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch. Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays，everyone has the same kind of gadget (小玩意儿)in their bags，so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interesting wrist fashion last？Only time will tell!25．Why aren’t watches popular with young people as before?A．Because watches cannot keep good time as cellphones, mini laptops and MP3 players.B．Because watches are featured by the disadvantages of simple function.C．Because watches are too expensive to afford.D．Because watches don’t have beautiful appearance as other modern timetelling tools. 26．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Watch-making is facing a survival crisis challenge.B．Watch-making is faced with the developing opportunity.C．Watch-making becomes the sunrise industry.D．Watch-making has a specific development target.27．It can be implied that ________.A．people will gradually lose interest in watches as they grow olderB．watchmakers scarcely change the development strategy for watchesC．today’s watches are better than those in the past in qualityD．customers used to be more concerned with the quality of a watch than with its image 28．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Watches and Teenagers B．The History of WatchesC．The Accuracy of Watches D．Watches Tell More than TimeCList of winners of 71st Golden Globe Awards29. Who wins the best film comedy actor title at the 71st Golden Globe Awards?A. Matthew McConaugheyB. Leonardo DiCaprioC. Amy AdamsD. Jared Leto30. If you want to see your favorite star Elisabeth Moss, you should watch________.A. Blue JasmineB. Breaking BadC. House of CardsD. Top of the Lake31. Which of the following is the best TV film at the 71st Golden Globe Awards?A. The Great BeautyB. Mandela：Long Walk to FreedomC. Behind the CandelabraD. Dancing on the EdgeDMany of the world's famous cities are known by some special names. Paris is known as the "City of Light". Hong Kong is the "Wall Street of Asia". One small city in Pennsylvania may bethe sweetest place on Earth. That is town of Hershey, which is known as the "Chocolate Town". It is named after Milton Hershey, the founder of the largest chocolate factory in the world.Milton Hershey built his first candy factory in the early 1900s. At the time, Hershey was developing a technique for milk chocolate. Eventually he succeeded. Hershey was also the first to produce individually wrapped chocolate bars. His factory grew and produced more and more types of chocolate. To this day, Hershey's chocolate factory is the largest in the world. Hershey used his success to give back to the community. He built a town around the factory for his employees. He gave streets fun names like Chocolate Avenue. He built schools, parks and shops. This generous man gave millions of dollars to charity. He built an amusement park with rides, trains for children and a swimming pool. Over the years, the town grew. People from near and far came to visit this special town, whose beauty and fame continue to attract lots of tourists. Every year close to three million tourists visit the Chocolate Town.Today visitors to the city can enjoy a variety of attractions and activities. The Hershey chocolate factory offers tours. Visitors can learn all about chocolate and how it is made. A gift shop sells all kinds of chocolate and toys made to look like chocolate. Even if you don't buy a souvenir, there is one thing that is impossible to forget: the wonderful aroma of fresh chocolate everywhere. In this special place even the streetlights are shaped like chocolate.Another attraction is the Hershey Hotel. It has an unusual mineral spring where guests can enjoy a variety of special treatments.

It is very much a part of the American way of life to donate one's time and services. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach children how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. V olunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help children without parents.High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program, or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism (理想主义) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.Fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of 'trick or treat' has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.21. Which of the following charitable activities is not mentioned in the passage?A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.B. Some students bring meals to old people who can't go out easily.C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.22. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?A. Because they want to participate in some social activities.B. Because they want to go to better universities.C. Because they can get higher scores at school.D. Because they can realize their dream sooner.23. The underlined word "destitute" in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. lifelessB. pennilessC. uselessD. valueless24. American charitable activities started because .A. Americans are always ready to share with othersB. Americans are mostly kindC. poor immigrants needed help badlyD. poor Americans couldn't live on without helpBSingapore is the smallest country from the South-East Asia, with a surface of 630 square kilometers and with a population of 2 million inhabitants. The capital and the only city is Singapore, and the official languages are malaise, mandarin, tamil and English. It is a heavily industrialized city, but tourism is also an important branch of the economy.Located just 15 minutes from the capital city, Sentosa, The State of Fun, welcomes a growing number of local and international guests every year, which i s Asia’s leading leisure destination.The 150-year old Singapore Botanic Gardens is located on Mt.

The temple is based on the Tang dynasty architectural style and built to house the tooth relic of the historical Buddha.

The study suggests doubling the price of sugary drinks, restricting their sale to those over 17 or 18, and tightening regulations in schools and snack bars.The article also reveals that worldwide consumption of sugar has tripled (增长三倍)during the past 50 years and is viewed as a key cause of the obesity epidemic. It concludes that responsibility lies in the food companies, saying that while they may resist change, shift in policy are possible if the pressure is great enough.The article ends, “these simple measures are taken for granted as tools for our public health and well-being. It’s time to turn our attention to sugar.”However other scientists disagree. Barbara Gallani, of the food and Drink Federation, said that while urgent action was needed to beat heart and other diseases, it was wrong to focus on sugar alone. She added, “The causes of these diaeases are various. The key to good health is balanced and varied diet in a lifestyle tha t includes plenty of physical activities.”29. What is stressed in the first two paragraphs?A. Sugar is widely abused.B. The main cause of illnesses like obesity and heart disease.C. The sale of sugar is tightly regulated.D. The damage caused by sugar to the body.30. According to The Toxic Truth About Sugar,A. it is important to teach children about diet and exercise.B. o besity is a bigger problem th an malnourishment.C. taxes and other regulations are ways to solve the sugar problem.D. the increasing number of malnourished people is mainly due to sugar .31. Which of the following may Barbara Gallani most agree with?A. It’s time to turn our attention to sugar.B. Control on sugar alone can not solve these health problems.C. Sugar has nothing to do with such diseases as heart disease.D. It is important to improve the medical services in the hospital.32. The underlined word, “restricting”, in Para.4 , most probably means .A. limitingB. recoveringC. keepingD. promotingDThe colors started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best.Green said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."Blue interrupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."Yellow chuckled: " The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time youlook at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."Orange started next: "I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, oranges and mangoes. When I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."Red could stand it no longer so he shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood, and life's blood! I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love."Purple was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. Without me you will become superficial . You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."And so the colors went on quarreling, each convinced of his or her own superiority.
