精校word版---广西省贵港市覃塘高级中学2018—2019学年度高二上学期12月月考英语
广西省贵港市覃塘高级中学2018—2019学年度上学期12月月考高二英语试题第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5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)AWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer graysand blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what co lors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.21. According to this passage, _______________.A. one can choose his color preferenceB. one is born with his color preferenceC. one’s color preference is changeableD. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly22. If someone choose a red handkerchief, he will probably do the following things EXCEPT___.A.Becoming a leader.B.Joining the Student Union.C.Always complain and blame othersD.Getting along well with others23. “I am feeling black” means ____________.A. I am feeling wellB. I am very happyC. I am excitedD. I am depressed24. The main idea of this passage is _____________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s characterB. you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. one’s color preference has something to do with h is character and colors have effects on human beingsBCity University LondonFacts about City●City currently has over 18,000 students from more than 150 countries and staff from over 75 countries.● More than 130,000 former students from over 180 count ries are members of the City Alumni (校友) Network.●City has been educating students in London since 1894.Our location in the heart of London●Our name was adopted (采纳) in 1966 to reflect our long-standing relationship with the City of London.●The Lord Ma yor of London is our president, an arrangement which has been in place since 1966.●City has been supported by the City of London livery companies for over 100 years.Our commitment to academic excellence●We are in the top 5% of world universities accordi ng to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015.●We have 12 areas of academic activity where our research was considered as being of good quality comparable with the very best in the world by the 2014 Research Excellence Framework.●Around 46% of our students are on postgraduate(研究生) or research programmes.●We are the first UK University Student Centre to receive the Service Mark Quality Standard from the Institute of Customer Service.Our focus on business and the professions●City’s Sir John Cass Business School is ranked as the 4th best in the UK and 18th in Europe by the Financial Times European Business School Rankings.●Our Business and Management courses are ranked 2nd in London and 7th in the UK (Guardian University Guide 2015).●C ity is ranked 28th in the world for Communication and Media Studies (QS World Subject Rankings 2014).●Our Nursing courses are ranked 2nd in London (Times Good University Guide 2015).●City is in the top 10 UK universities for graduate starting salaries (l atest Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey).25.

City gives its graduates the highest salariesC. graduates from City find jobs more easily than othersD. graduates from City get a higher starting salary than averageCResearch led by London School of Economics professors has proved that money can buy everything but happiness. The study showed that people in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, get far more happiness from their small incomes than, for example, theBritish do from their relatively (相对地) large bank balances. In fact, people in most rich countries, including Austria, Switzerland, Canada and others, are much less happy than people in some poor countries like the Dominican Republic and Armenia.The most unfortunate, however, are Russians and people in some other parts of the former Soviet Union. They are neither rich nor happy, the World Happiness Survey shows. The study shows that although the British have twice as much money to spend in real terms compared with 40 years ago, their perceived (感知的) quality of life has not improved. Earlier surveys showed that many of the British thought money could bring happiness. The new study shows that such a link still exists in poor countries, because a small increase in income can mean large improvements in lifestyle.However, beyond a certain income level, that direct relationship breaks down. According to the research, happiness in rich countries now is far more dependent on close personal relationships, good health and job satisfaction. “People in Britain are generally less happy than they were ten years ago. Two-thirds would rather see the environment improved than have more economic growth and personal spending money,” said Robert Worcester, co-author of the study.The researchers have concluded that although the British are rich compared with people in most other countries, many suffer from emotional poverty caused by the breakdown of family life. “We have more money but our personal needs are not being met,” said Nic Marks,a social sciences researcher at Surrey University who also worked on the report.28. According to the text, many British people ________.A. are happier than people in poor countriesB. used to think that more money meant more happinessC. are happier than they were ten years agoD. have seen their perceived quality of life improve in the last 40 years29.

British people’s awareness of the environment has improvedB. due to the family-life breakdown, people in Britain are suffering from emotional povertyC. people in Russia are rich but not happyD. the direct relationship between money and happiness will disappear after a certain income level31.

The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal (小坏蛋), you have played truant ( 旷课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, but now to be calleda rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank deep into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”32. Which of the following did the man with the ax NOT do that morning?A. Flattering the boy with nice words.B. Patting the boy on the head.C. Blaming the boy with sharp words.D. Giving the boy a small toy.33.

Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in life. 36 Here are four ways to improve your memory:●Make the most of your imagin ation. 37 For example, to remember where you haveleft your car keys, pretend to hold a camera to your eyes, focus on the scene, and click the image into your memory when you are leaving. This technique works with almost everything you want to remember, as the roll of film in your mind is endless.●Try to practice. There are lots of ways to do this: try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was. 38 Try to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner. If you can try to reme mber the scores as well, it will be even better. It won’t be long before your daily practice pays off, making your mind sharper and more adaptable.●Get physical exercise. 39 A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory. It i s known that the brain’s processing speed gradually slows as you age. Fortunately, staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of aging on the brain.● 40 Mental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one’s brain power. Take up word games like crossword puzzles.Memorise favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage you to expand your interests. Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain. And your brain will develop better on the challenge.A. Exercise your brain.B. Play more games.C. Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster.D. In fact, the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.E. Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.F. An easy way to remember something is to “take a picture”.G. If you are right-handed, try to brush your teeth with your left hand.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Matthew Layton was 20 minutes from home on a cold November night when he got a phone call from his mother. “The mountain is on fire,” she 41 , “and Brian is up there!” Layton’s family 42 a dozen rental cabins(小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was 43 up there, trying to put the fire out by himself.Layton made it as far as the main road to the cabins, only to find a policeman 44 the road.

ANo matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.HikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equipment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on or .Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food,and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure to register and map your route before stepping on the trail.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rocky path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.21. What is especially suggested before hiking?A. Having a new pair of boots.B. Having a map.C. Having a thirst for adventure.D. Doing some advance research on the websites.22. Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according to the passage?A. A tent.B. A cell phone.C. Food.D. Some water.23. What is the typical character of the mountain biking?A. You have to get permits.B. You have to do some research in advance.C. You can ride up and down the mountains.D. You must have a road bike.BTwo weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My previous fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am aland-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “Whilst on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won’t have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.24. What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?A. He wanted to sell all his tools.B. Ife wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.C. He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.D. He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.25. What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?A. illB. unfriendlyC. angryD. dead26. What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?A. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.B. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.D. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.27. What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?A. There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the Internet.B. Mare people will go online to read his latest information.C. More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.D. Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.CMaybe it has been the influence of the current scene: the type among urban biking. Apparently, urban biking requires entirely different bikes than suburban hiking does and therefore a Bike Design Project started where five design studios across five cities had to come up with a perfect urban bike. The winning bike will be manufactured for a limited run of 100 hikes and will be in stores next year. Industry, a Portland-based studio, came up with a very interesting bike: one that uses bluetooth and handlebars (车把手) that tell you when to stop or turn.Industry worked together with Ti Cycles to create a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame (钛框架). The hike is called Solid and can be connected to a smartphone APP: My Bike. This APP alarms a user when a light needs replacement and if something gets wrong with one’s brakes. There is also software called Discover My City, which has a series of routes through Portland’s most trendy neighborhoods, with suggestions about where to eat andshop.Nevertheless, the idea with cycling is that you need to focus on the road and not on your smartphone. This bike therefore uses integrated feedback on handlebars. Those handlebars tell a user when to turn, as they will buzz when a turn appears. As you are getting closer, they will buzz more frequently. And then there is the possibility to control your light via built-in sensors and change gears by pressing an electronic button.Although the bicycle looks highly interesting and can be seen as a piece of art for the designing world, we don’t know if we would like our bike to have an automatic buzz when we are approaching a turn. On the other side, it could add some extra safety to traffic in general. Whether you like the bike or not, you have to admit the Portland-based studio brings the concept of urban biking to a whole new level.28. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .A. the equipment that a hand-made bike requiresB. the popularity of the winning bike in the urban areaC. the introduction to a new bike in the future marketD. the difference between urban biking and suburban biking29. The 3D printed bike is special in the way .A. it tells the biker where to eat and shopB. it connects the computersC. it limits the riding speedD. it goes into forests and mountains30. What is the author’s attitude to the newly-designed bicycle?A. Disapproving.B. Doubtful.C. Pessimistic.D. Objective.31. The passage is likely to appear in .A. a school textbookB. a TV advertisementC. an exhibitionD. a newspaper reportDWhen seeing the doctor, you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance (安想) that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos don’t always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with th e relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has lots of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A pl acebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they’ll also show a bad reaction to the placebo. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.32 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The placebo.B. The bad effect.C. The body.D. The medicine.33. What do we know about the placebo according to the passage?A. It contains some sort of medicine.B. It won’t function if patients are negative about medicine.C People who don’t believe the placebo can’t be healed by it.D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.34. Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A. Because patient needs help badly.B. Because patient believes in the doctor and the doctor wants to help the patient.C. Because doctor knows better about the patient’s body.D. Because doctor has carefully studied medicine.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Placebo: Work on Your MindB. Placebo: The Most Powerful MedicineC. Placebo: The Best DoctorD. Placebo: Heal the Body第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
