山西大学附中2014～2015学年第一学期高三12月月考英语试题（满分：150分，测试时间：120分钟）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15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中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it‟s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad‟s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be …a sk eleton in his family‟s closet‟. He really wouldn‟t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessica‟s father said with anger. “Your family history isn‟t so good, you know. Wasn‟t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the ho use was very quiet. Jessica‟s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica‟s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica‟s mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school‟s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They‟re both crazy,” she thought.1. According to Jessica‟s mother, “a skeleton in the close t” means ______.A. a family honorB. a family storyC. a family secretD. a family treasure2. What can we learn abou t some Australians‟ ancestors f rom Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.3.Jessica‟s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably be cause ______.A. they were crazyB. they were over excitedC. they realized their misunderstandingD. they both thought they had won the quarrelBAn African-born British scientist received an environment research prize for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants. Lucy King's work proved that beehive (蜂房）"fences" can keep elephants out of African farm ers‟ fields. The animals are scared of bees, which can bite them inside their long noses, and flee when they hear buzzing (蜂鸣声).Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge, while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations. Working in Kenya, Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees. Afterwards, they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger. They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence, keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food.A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them, disturbing the bees. Later, the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts , who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey.As Africa's population grows, competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious, and there are fatalities on both sides. The same is true in parts of Asia. Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of an estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict.Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa and perhaps, eventually, in Asia.4. Dr King's solution is describ ed as “intelligent” because_____________.A. it successfully keeps elephants out of African farmers' fieldsB. the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districtsC. more than 90％of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing beesD. it protects crops, produces honey and preserves the elephant at the same time5. Which of the following orders of events correctly shows how Dr King‟s project works?①Beehive fences are built around a farm.②Elephants hear the buzzing and run away.③Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives.④Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences.A. ①→②→③→④B. ①→④→③→②C. ④→③→②→①D. ①→②→④→③6. The underlined word “fatalities” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.A. deathsB. communitiesC. populationD. fencesCWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It‟s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just tweet (贴子,留言) and look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don‟t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things online, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they have been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）, allowing people to access more goods and services using technology and even to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver‟s license compared to six in ten today. So it‟s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn‟t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that‟s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that‟s going to be a plus,” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.7. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because ______.A. it is most fashionable and coolB. they are bored with driving carsC. they are fond of being connectedD. it is much cheaper than a car8. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passageB. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of TwitterD. being connected via technology comes first for young people9. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the GoDThree-quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year，but this booming industry has come at a price．Poisonous smoke rising from open fires，rubbish made up of plastic bottles，packets…it‟s a far cry from the white sands，clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫)，the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean．Of its 200 inhabited islands，which are spread across an area of 35，000 square miles，99 are good resorts(旅游胜地)．So many tourists come every year，more than double the local population．Of these，over l 00，000 travel from the U K．The capital，Malé，is four times more densely populated than London．Given these facts，it‟s hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem．Years ago，when the tourists left，the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish．Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground．Four miles west of Maléis the country‟s dumping ground，Thilafushi．What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes．Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day．The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day．Now，since many waste boats，fed up with waiting seven hours or more，directly offload their goods into the sea，the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island．So，the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead．10. The underlined part can probably be replaced by ___________.A. it‟s quite similar toB. it‟s a long distance fromC. it‟s a loud shout fromD. it‟s totally different from11. What can we learn from the text?A. It is much more crowded in Maléthan in London.B. Another island will be used as a dumpling ground.C. No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives.D. Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea.12. What‟s the author‟s purpose in writing the text?A. To attract more tourists to the Maldives.B. To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives.C. To call on us to protect the environment.D. To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives.EExploit your parking spaceAn unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.Rent a roomSpare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won‟t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.Make money during special eventsDon‟t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.Live on setRenting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.Use your roofYou need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.13. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.A. ￡800B. ￡500C. ￡4500D.500014. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.A. sign an agreement with the governmentB. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipmentC. sell the roof to some energy companiesD. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years15. For whom the text most probably written?A. Lodgers.B. Advertisers.C. House owners.D. Online companies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最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。

AAn incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳) — the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochet’s owner Judy Fridono said, ―I was working with her at balance and coordination (协作). Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company.‖After becoming an expert, two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. ―Rico chet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I can’t,‖ she said.One of those who have benefited from Ricochet’s skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (双人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as helping with treatments, Ricochet also raised £5,000 to help continue Ian’s recovery.Over the last 10 months, Ricochet’s excellen t performances on the sea have raised more than £30,000 for a number of charity causes.1. According to the passage, Ricochet is .A. a doctorB. a dogC. a dog ownerD. a disabled boy2. What role does Ricochet play according to the passage?A. She acts as a pet to please its owner.B. She accompanies the disabled children at home.C. She helps the disabled children learn to surf.D. She works as a guide dog for the blind.3. Ian McFarland considers Ricochet’s work to be .A. challengingB. doubtfulC. attractiveD. satisfying4. Which statement can best describe Ricochet?A. The two-year-old dog is severely disabled.B. Ricochet helps youngsters build up their confidence.C. Ricochet helps youngsters in their daily life.D. Ricochet is a lifesaver on the sea.BNever before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularlythose mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.Ho wever, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, ―I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…‖A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chines e proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of ―bad money driving out the good‖. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.5. The underlined word ―gourmet items‖ probably means________.A. beautiful clothesB. latest technologyC. delicious foodD. great inventions6. The second paragraph mainly talks about______.A. the producer of the documentB. the content of the documentC. the history of Chinese gourmetD. The popularity of the document7. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food cultureB. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the realityC. the price of food is too high for many common peopleD. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director8. According to the passage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.A. there are still so many poor people at the present timeB. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enoughC. the Chinese government encourages it to do soD. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countriesCFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. ―Come on!‖ My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. ―You’ll feel great.‖Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighb orhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something elseto worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, ―I love being out there with just my thoughts.‖ Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to w ork when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.9. The underlined word ―them‖(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.A. heart attacksB. back problemsC. famous joggersD. physical weaknesses10. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.11. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.12. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sportDHave you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let’s see how she’s getting along.As from June 2012, Facebook had over 955 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page says he’s a Harvard graduate, even though he actually dropped out to focus on Facebook. The site is valued at between $7.9 and $11 billion.13. Which of the following is conveyed in this passage?A. Visiting Facebook website took up a large part of Jamie’s time and energy.B. Jamie is enthusiastic about her present job.C. Facebbook was created by a Harvard graduate, Mark Zuckerberg.D. Compared with Facebook, Twitter is a better choice for Jamie.14. Why did Jamie’s boyfriend ask her whether she had broken up with him?A. He had seen photos of Jamie dancing on the table.B. She showed in her Facebook that she was still not dating anyone.C. Her boyfriend was angry that she refused to add him as her friend.D. He saw the name of her ex-boyfriend on his news feed.15. What does the word ―un-frie nd‖ mean in the underlined sentence ―Someone’s un-friended me!‖?A. Be unfriendly to othersB. Remove a name from friend listC. Have a quarrel with somebodyD. End friendship with somebody第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。

AFourteen-year-old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety-two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley said he did pretty well at staying calm. “I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make —it would distract me from playing.” he says. “I don't even remember trying to impress people while I played. It's almost as if they weren't there. I just wanted to make music.”Hawley is a winner. But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.“The important thing in the Olympic Ga mes is not to win but to take part，” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, arts, and professions. “They are intere sted in winning, but they're most interested in selfdevelopment, testing their limits.”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had — and how much they've learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing，” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses ‘setback’．”A healthy attitude towards setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree.“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.1. What is common among high performers is that they tend to give priority to ________.A．glory B. Wealth C. pleasure D. Work2.According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _______.A．challenging their own limits B. learning from othersC. defeating their opponentsD. avoiding setbacks3.The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble ________.A．helps people deal with their disappointment B. makes people forget their setbacksC. makes people regret about their pastD. helps people realize their goalsBThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner”，if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things，” says Reinhold Behringe, who helped design two of the carsize vehicles for a company called SciAutonics.“Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good.

But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much. Growing up in the 1950s, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, boys were supposed to be athletic. Certain peer pressures encouraged little fingers to learn how to hold footballs rather than crayons.My early love for drawing developed into a love for telling stories through pictures. Stories began as fragments (片段) of pictures in my mind. I created a story by posing questions to myself. I called it the “what if” and “what then” approach. For example, for my book The Polar Express, I started out by thinking “What if a boy gets on that train? Where does he g o？”From the time I come up with the idea, write and illustrate the book, and deliver it to the printer, it takes about seven months. First, I begin thinking of the idea. Then I imagine the pictures and the story. A good picture book should have events that are visually arresting. I first consider scenes that are exciting to look at and then my challenge is to weave a story around those pictures. The next step is putting the illustrations and story down on paper.When you first look at my illustrations, you see ordinary, everyday things. But if you look closer, things might not seem quite so simple. When I'm writing a book, I always try to create something strange or puzzling in each picture. By using artistic strategies, I can give the drawing a kind of mysterious quality.All of my books are picture books, so they are generally thought of as books for children. But when I make them, I think of the books as being for everybody — for people of all ages. When I was a kid, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, but now I'm really glad I became an artist and a storyteller.7．Why does the author mention The Polar Express?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To introduce his famous work.C. To make up a sentence with “what if”．D. To show us how he designed his book.8．The underlined word “arresting” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. frighteningB. interestingC. satisfyingD. worrying9．Which of the following is TRUE about the author?A. He did well when he was at school.B. He only wrote something for children.C. He tried his best to meet the readers' taste.D. He regretted not working hard at drawing.10．What would be the best title for this passage?A. Telling Stories by DrawingB. “What if” and “What Then”C. How to Tell Interesting StoriesD. Working as a Famous Storyteller第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）The Value of a DollarIf you find a single one dollar bill in your pocket, what could you do with it? __11__ If you take a few moments to think about the value of that dollar, you'd find that it can actually get you further than you think.Pay a visit to your local dollar store.

It was the first morning of the New Year and the weather was very cold. I have always been an early bird and my morning walks have been the 1 for the last 7 years, so I put on my shoes to 2 for my first walk of the New Year.There was complete 3 outside. Litter could be seen everywhere. It seemed that everyone had an all-night 4 . It was too cold to 5 anyone to be awake to clear all the walkways at 5 in the morning. I was 6 to walk on the dirty walkways and decided to go back home.I was about to leave 7 I saw Sam cleaning the garden. He is an employee of our society association and is8 to take care of the walkways and the garden. I walked up to Sam as it was a（n）9 to see him there cleaning at this time. He saw me and politely 10 me, "Happy New Year!" "How come you are here and doing all this on the very first day of a new year?" I asked. Sam answered 11 , "It is the first day of the year. I do not want people to walk on 12 walkways. It is the first day of the year so they should feel good and special. For me, today is like any other day and my job starts with the 13 ."It was good to see someone so 14 at heart. Like other staff members, Sam could have taken a day 15 , but he woke up early and came for all of us. I suddenly realized life does not 16 when the clock strikes twelve at midnight and a New Year begins. We 17 all night, drinking and feeding ourselves. Then we leave the place in high spirits, leaving the surroundings dirty. Life goes on and others need to 18 up early and clear the garbage. Isn't the very next morning a new day of a New Year for all those who clear our garbage? Why can't we also keep our 19 clean so that everyone can have a New Year the very next day?

2010-2023历年山西省山大附中高一月考英语试卷(带解析)
2010-2023历年山西省山大附中高一月考英语试卷（带解析）第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.There are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to getthe best dealson the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach (途径，方法) though. If you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life. The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others. Nonetheless (尽管如此)，the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的；钱的)limits.The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it was cheap. If it wasn’t, I would have had a great time—somewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered Mount Chimborazo.I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and back again when I returned from Ecuador. The round-trip ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使，通讯员) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car parts), and could only take carry-on luggage.Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana.Being an opportunist means you’ll have just as much variety, and pr obably almost everything you want—eventually. You just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadn’t dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hikingon EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left me with enough money for several other minor adventures.【小题1】The underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to ______.A．the best serviceB． the lowest priceC．the cheapest goodsD． the best approaches【小题2】The return tickets from his hometown to Quito cost the author ______. A．$128B． $256C． $207D． $414【小题3】The last paragraph was to tell us how to ______.A．save money for minor adventuresB．cut down traveling costs.C．deal with different situationsD．become opportunist travelers【小题4】It’s suggested that the author _____.A．went hiking on El AltarB．traveled with his wife in EcuadorC．is an opportunist travelerD．likes traveling around the world【小题5】Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage? A．Cheap Travel SecretsB． Travel SecretsC．A Travel OpportunistD． Travel Tips2.The teacher called Tim’s mother __________ what he had done in the test. A．because ofB．becauseC．sinceD．as3.In my opinion, life in the twenty-first century is much easier than ____.A．what used to beB．that it used to beC．it used to beD．what it used to be4.It is reported that a bus went out of _____ control on a highway ____ south of the city last night.A．/; /B．/; theC．the; /D．the; the5.I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village, yet no such thing exists. Conditions var y too widely.But the villages I stayed in had much in common—poverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the Mils. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours’ walk the village came into view.【小题1】After the writer had arrived in India,________.A．he spent a year writing about the place he lived inB．he spent quite some time looking for a suitable place to live inC．he stayed in an Indian village working for the poorD．he lived in a Himalayan community for many months.【小题2】While looking for a typical village, the writer found__________.A．he was searching for the impossibleB．all the villages were exactly the sameC．he was doing something enjoyableD．the villagers were curious about him【小题3】Before coming to India, the writer________.A．had been a successful politicianB．had made a decision to work for IndiaC．had studied India culture for some monthsD．had worked for newspapers and magazines6.--- Do you enjoy seeing foreign films?--- Yes. Some of them are good and the film Avatar, ______is excellent.A．in commonB．in totalC．in particularD．in general7.I came across with an old man in rags the other day, he was begging for a living. To be frank, I didn’t know how I ought to give him some money. On the one hand, I am not born in a rich family. On the other hand, old as the man was, he was in good health. Inmost people’s opinion, he should b e able to earn her living instead of be a beggar. All of us ought to help those who is really in need. However, what matters is that all the people should try to depend in themselves first. Therefore our society can be much harmonious, which is we all look forward to.8.I still remember my first day in the U.S. very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very and it was snowing, but I was too excited to _. From the airport, my friend and I a taxi to my . On the way I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the _time and I stared in surprise at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made .

A．causingB．causeC．to causeD．caused14.My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable expl anation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant (无关的). What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quali ty of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.【小题1】We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____ . A．have enough timeB．can meet the presidentC．get everything done wellD．should accept the explanation【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author’s students make good use of their time to do all their homework. B．The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job. C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time.D．You’ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you’re a clever student.【小题3】What’s the passage mainly about?A．Students don’t have enough time.B．Don’t work harder; work smarter.C．No one can get more time.D．Read better and write better.15.The class _____ my daughter studies in _____ fifty-six students.A．which; consists ofB．where; is made up ofC．which; makes upD．where; is consisted of16.A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’ s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since bus iness had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that costs $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl."The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse." " I don’t like to part with it." she said sadly, I got it from my mother, and ,my mother got it from her’ s. But I real ly need the money.The jeweler was quickly to pay her before she changed her mind .Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news .The man ,however ,was nowhere to be found.【小题1】The man said he wanted to buy a pearl for _____ .A．his wifeB．his mother-in-lawC．his own motherD．no one【小题2】He paid $5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining (讨价还价) because______.A．he was very rich.B．he wanted to make the jeweler believe himC．he was anxious to get itD．his business had been successful【小题3】 He told the jeweler to get him another pearl that must be______.

AThe following form shows the result of a survey of parents from five countries, who were asked why children are important to them. They were required to choose three main reasons from seven dealing with personal interests, family relations and social responsibility. Each number in the form is1. Compared with the parents in other countries Korean parents are least interested in ______.A. receiving cares in old ageB. raising responsible citizensC. keeping the family lineD. enjoying raising children2. In which country parents pay the most attention to learning from the experience?A. In Britain.B. In USA.C. In Japan.D. In Korea.3. From the above percentages, we can infer ______.A.parents in Western countries care more about family relationshipB.parents in Asia want their children to be useful for the society mostC.ideas of raising children between East and West are somewhat differentD.parents all over the world usually do not think about their own old agesBIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day，some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job --- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4. From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat contentD. lived a different life from their forefathers5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs ?A. The frogs were easy money.B. They need money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.6. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. The crops didn’t do well.B. There were too many insects.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. The pesticides were overused.7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. The harmony between man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.CI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parities in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party means: “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.”Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try touse the same trick, the hostess will shout: “Where are you going?” And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdal e’s, a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.8. What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. ChoiceB. TryC. StyleD. Goal9. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash.10. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusualB. Full of tricksC. Less costlyD. More interesting11. What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?A. Easy-goingB. Self-centredC. GenerousD. ConservativeDEvery people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist isillegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.In some cases, colors describe a situation. A brown out is an expression for a reduction in electric power. Brown outs happen when there is too much demand for electricity. The electric system is unable to offer all the power needed in an area. Black outs are common during World War Two. Officials would order all lights in a city turned off to make it difficult for enemy planes to finda target in the dark of night.12. Americans use “red hot” to describe the following EXCEPT____.A. something unfairB. small hot-tasting peppersC. the person who is very angryD. popular music like Dixieland jazz13. People use “in the pink” to express they are in good health because____.A. the expression has a very long historyB. the color pink makes people feel happyC. people think the color pink is gentler than redD. healthy babies are born with nice pink skin14. In the writer’s eyes，what is related to a black day?A. Being sent a beautiful giftB. Passing a very difficult testC. Being refused during an important interviewD. Being invited to an exciting party15. The writer wants to tell us ______in American everyday expressionsA. the most popular colorsB. different meanings of colorsC. how to use colors correctlyD. why Americans like to use colors第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。
