河南省周口中英文学校高三英语10月月考试题

周口中英文学校2016-2017学年上期高三十月考试英语试题第一部分: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。

AThe life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you’re successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you’re not successful, then life is extremely tough.I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking asI unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) fora clown (小丑) for the Canadian circus. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics (杂技) and clown tricks.I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I’d had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travelthe world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.1. According to paragraph 3, the writer went into the drama school __________.A. to look for a jobB. to see the secretaryC. to collect a piece of paperD. to put a notice on the notice board2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling when he unfolded the paper?A. Extremely frightened.B. Feeling anxious and excited.C. Very worried.D. Trembling with fear.3. From the whole passage, we can tell that the writer is ___________.A. sad that he was not a famous actorB. happy to travel the worldC. feeling very strange to be a clownD. very content with his lifeBEnough may never be enough. As human beings, it seems that once we attain what we think will make us whole, we grow bored quickly and need something new in order to feel satisfied. We are addicted to what we don’t have.You’d better sit down at this very moment and make a list of all the reasons why you’re fortunate and while you’re writing the list, you would want nothing more. You could get together with a group of people whom you care about and discuss ideas. You would feel comfortable with what you have and who you are at that moment or some hours later. The talking heads always tell you that you need to be rich and famous on your television, so your desire for more becomes unquenchable (难抑制的). You forget that you are enough. You find yourself making comparisons between your life and the life of people you assume who have figured it out, and all of your accomplishments are never enough to satisfy you.The issue with this “never enough” me ntality is that we all have it to some degree. We fail to realize that even the people who have figured it out are on some level still as lost and broken as everyone else. Everyone is constantly looking for validation (确认) in the form of likes and comments to give meaning to our sense of self. We honestly believe that as long as we buy into the illusion (错觉) when we are happy, everything is going to be great, we won’t have to face reality.Reality is that we want all the material, social media fame, and worthless validation in order to feel accepted by others. The reason why all of those things bring only temporary satisfaction is that they aren’t the answer. We all keep looking for other people to accept us in order to feel whole. But in fact, it is when we accept ourselves that we can feel really satisfied. We are in a universal competition for acceptance that no one wants a part of, but so few have the courage to stop competing. What will ever be enough?4. After writing down the reasons why you’re f ortunate, you may think ___________.A. you are lucky enoughB. you need something newC. you will grow bored quicklyD. you should discuss ideas with others5. According to Paragraph 2, the people who have “figured it out” refer to those _______.A. who don’t dare to face the realityB. who intend to compare with othersC. who have achieved some kind of successD. who are unlikely to be accepted by others6. People can only get long term satisfaction if __________.A. they can achieve great successB. they believe in their own abilitiesC. they can accept themselves joyfullyD. they stop commenting on others’ behavior7. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn people not to set long-term goals.B. To ask people to appreciate what they have.C. To teach people how to hold a positive attitude.D. To inform people of the importance of comparison.CMany businesses today use conferences as a means of discussing new plans of the company. As people are paying more attention to the environment and green problems, more businessesare looking for ways to reduce their negative effect on the environment. Many businesses do this by using Web conferencing.Web conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate more effectively over t he Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. Each of the people involved in a Web conference will be posted an invitation to the conference with the time and date of the Web conference on it. When the conference is ready to begin, all participants(参与者)must sit at their computers and they will be connected over the Internet.With Web conferencing all participants attend the conference from the comfort of their own desk. Obviously, in doing this no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.Any material to be used during Web conferencing is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. Participants can then either choose to print material or read it on screen. This not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing costs for the business.As a conference hall or business center isn’t being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power used by the part icipants’ personal computers. Similarly conference organizers don’t have to arrange for food or overnight accommodation(住处)for participants of their conferences. All this means that less energy is used.Often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative impact on the environment. And Web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you are willing to work hard for the green cause.So Web conferencing is much cheaper and greener and more people are willing to hos t and attend a Web conference.8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Green benefits of Web conferencing.B. Ways of protecting the environment.C. Ways of hosting a Web conference.D. Impact of Web conferencing on costs.9. According to Paragraph 1, many companies use Web conferencing because they .A. are interested in using any new technologyB. believe that Web conferencing is more convenientC. haven’t enough money to hold a traditional conferenceD. want to do something to protect the environment10. The participants of a Web conference .A. will be e-mailed an invitation before the conferenceB. are required to sit in an office togetherC. must have access to the InternetD. will receive many paper materials11. Which of the following words best describes the author’s opinion about a Web conference?A. Environment-friendly.B. Useless.C. Inconvenient.D. Money-consuming.DBabysitters are childcare professionals, who t ypically care for one family’s children for a few hours at a time. While it may not sound like an exciting job, these professionals are valued and trusted family employees, and as such have an enjoyable and well-paid job. Here are some of the top reasons to become a babysitter:-- A driver’s license is not required: While many babysitters are able to increase the fees they charge by driving school-age children to and from school, and to after-class activities, they do not need to be able to drive. The parents pick up the babysitter from her home (or another agreed upon location), and drop her off afterwards.-- Flexible hours: While some babysitters have set jobs, where they babysit for the same children each week at an appointed time, most take jobs as their schedule permits. If the children’s parents call to request a babysitter’s time on an evening and the babysitter is not available until later in the evening, often time, the parent will change their plan to suit her.-- Free time: While some babysitters will tell horror stories about how tired the children may make them during the time of babysitting, the truth is that most children who require babysitters are young and go to bed early. They also take afternoon naps. This means that while babysitting, babysitters have significant free time to watch television or read. Babysitters who are in high school, college or graduate school, enjoy this opportunity to study.-- It is fun: There are not many jobs that will pay you to play hide and go seek, do finger painting, or eat ice cream, but babysitters routinely get to do all that. They also have a built-in reason to watch Disney movies, play video games, blow bubbles, and read children books. Babysitting is a job for those who are young at heart, and are ready and willing to embrace that side of themselves while working.12. According to the passage, babysitters _____________.A. earn little money from the jobB. have to work long hoursC. have much time to do what they wantD. are usually tired and bored13. Which of the following statements is true?A. Babysitters usually have to change their plans to meet their employers’ needs.B. Babysitting can be a very tiring job because the children may be very naughty.C. While babysitting, one can do nothing else but take care of the children.D. babysitters can do a lot of interesting things with the children they take care of.14. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 stands for _____________.A. the babysittersB. the childrenC. the parentsD. the stories15. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To compare babysitting with other jobs.B. To teach people how to be a good babysitter.C. To show some advantages of babysitting.D. To list so me do’s and don’ts when babysitting.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。

Conclusion第五部分书面表达One possible version:For most people, it is a natural reaction to help if they see an old man fall down to the ground. But now things are different.As can be seen from the cartoon, Father Christmas falls over and is lying on the ground. People crowd around, watching, but no one gives a helping hand. It seems that there is no way for Father Christmas to deliver his Christmas gifts.This cartoon is full of humor and satire. It reflects a social phenomenon that when the elderly fall, no one dares to help. This is partly because people are afraid they would be blamed for the accident if the elderly were injured. But it is mainly because of the total indifference to other people’s suffering. Such behavior is out of tune with our harmonious society.As far as I’m concerned, helping those people in trouble is the bottom line of our public morality, which should be advocated. More importantly, efforts should be made to protect the benefits of those who provide help. Only in this way can we be sure that, on one hand, the injured people receive timely aid and on the other hand, warm-hearted people never suffer from loss.(174words)1。

We did everything together: piano lesson, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away, Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times- like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren, And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died, There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans . ”I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter, “Mrs, Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives, Now the empty place in my heart is filled, And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!21.

AOne day after school, I went to the teacher's office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously. On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big urprise,"I thought.When the teacher said we could start, Iturned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous.

AHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.”They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wipe d out the Romans and saved Scotland②.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.21. Hundreds of years ago, the Romans ____ .A. came from the north through England to make war on ScotlandB. came to the north Scotland from England to make war on ScotlandC. came from the north of England to fight the ScotsD. came to the north from the south of Britain to fight the Scots22.

Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.25. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872.

Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many waysC.Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.29.

Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. Iwould try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me.

According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkanfairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be mor e fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I neverhoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village.

It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger princeor hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affectworkers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend –the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, el ectronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using anydevice with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device th ere’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷(45分)I.

Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university. When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(赎金),” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief".

That’s the findingof a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol(胆固醇)levels.25. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?A. AdsB. MoviesC. BriefsD. Health and Diet26. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the changes in people’s dietC. the effect of fish eating on people’s healthD. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures27. The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between____ and the level of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different areas28. From the passage we know the author is most probably ___________.A. a heart doctorB. a science researcherC. a supporter of healthy eatingD. a university studentCTelepathy: Mind-to-mind ContactTelepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, heari ng, touch, smell, taste). It’s a n instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link toget her into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a personand he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate.A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this person who would always want to be there for t hem, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.29. Telepathy turns up when we ____.A. think of a strangerB. use the five senses togetherC. recall things from our memoryD. sense a close friend in danger30. You’re bett er at sending than receiving Telepathy if you ____.A. can tell who knocks at your doorB. can feel your mom is in dangerC. receive a friend’s call as you wishD. dream of a friend dreaming of you31. Which is not the way to help people gain Telepathy?A. Help them have a strong desire to communicate.B. Separate them all the time.C. Help them link up their unconscious minds.D. Let them spend much time together.DLike any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy.The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital.The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, "There is verylittle hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. “If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! " The mother, the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing."You are my sunshine, my only suns hine, you make me happy when skies are gray”Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady."You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away " The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr.Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home!NEVER GIVE UP THE ONE WE LOVE!32.How did Michal’s feel when he knew that he was going to have a sister?A. indifferent.B. worried.C. expectant.D. disappointed. 33.The doctor recommended the family ___________.A. get ready for the worst result.B. wait for the hope in the near future.C. prepare much more money for the infant.D. prepare for another chance in other hospitals.34.Which word can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?A. pointed.B. yelled.C. whispered.D. ignored. 35.What happened when Michael sang to his little sister?A.

河南省周口中英文学校高三上学期第一次月考——英语(英语)

河南省周口中英文学校2019届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题第二部分阅读理解(本大题共两节,每小题2分,共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(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid anycontact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.21. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things22. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend to please others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life23. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons24. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakesBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern trafficcondition.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive.Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 25.According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A.road conditions B.the behavior of the driversC.the speed of modern life D.the large number of cars26.In the writer’s opinion, .A.unskillful drivers should be punishedB.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.drivers should show road politeness properlyD. drivers should avoid traffic jams27.The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A.politeness and impolitenessB.good manners and bad mannersC.willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD.offering help to others as much as possible28.What is the best title of the passage?A.Traffic Problems B.Road PolitenessC.Bad Manners on the Road D.Good Drivers and Bad DriversCClimate change,pollution,overuse of water and development are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze.India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile.WWF said on Tuesday.At the global la unch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”,the group said many rivers could dry out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic(水生的)life.“If these rivers die,millions will lose their livelihoods,biodiversity(生物多样性)will be destroyed on a massive scale,there will be less fresh water and agriculture,resulting in less food security,”said.Rayi Singh,secretary—general of WWF—India.The report,launched ahead of“World Water Day”today,alsocited the Rio Grande in.the United States,the Mekong and Indus in Asia,Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection.Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up.Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains.while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them,the report said.Fish populations,the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide,are also being threatened, it found.The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization,damming and huge influxes(流入)of sediment (积淀)from land conversion. Climate change,including higher temperatures,also means serious consequences for fishery productivity,water supply and political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin.Tributaries(支流)flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation,WWF said.29.We can infer from the text that _____.A.higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivityB.rivers’dying out could affect food securityC.there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passageD.the Yangtze is polluted thanks to the lack of enough tributaries30.The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following EXCEPT _____.A. climate change B.pollution C.wasting water D.dams31.WWF is probably a name of _____.DTwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.32.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.33.Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.34.Which of the following does the author believe?A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.B. Girls need more training in communication.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

From the text we may learn that Kamura is _________.A. a cookB. a waitressC. an musicianD. an artistCOn a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head,”Tim recalled (回忆).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to j udge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says.“ I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.“Let's aim for the pier (码头),” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there?” They asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.28.Why did the two boys go to the sea?A.to go boat rowing.B.to get back their football.C.to swim in the open water.D.to test the umbrella as a sail.29.What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.the beach.

That is why the word "heart" is used in so many expressions about emotional situations. One such expression is to "lose your heart" to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart." In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you loved is "hard-hearted," and in fact, has a "heart of stone."You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.Your friend may, however, warn you not to "wear your heart on your sleeve." In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.If your friend says "my heart bleeds for you," she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.In the ever-popular motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz,"(绿野仙踪) the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did “have a heart”. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was "chicken-hearted." That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.When you are frightened or concerned, your "heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The heart was the center of a person's emotions.B.There are many expressions about heart and what do they mean.C.We should learn some expressions about “heart”.D.It is important to learn some expressions about “heart”33.How many expressions about “Heart” are mentioned in the passage?A.10B.8C.9D.1134.If you hear one of your family members is hurt in a traffic accident, you will feel ________.A.heart is in your mouth.B.have your heart in the right placeC. wear your heart on your sleeveD.lose your heart35.Why did the writer mention"The Wizard of Oz,"in the passage?A.To show that it is ever popular.B.To introduce a film to the readersC.To give some more examples about the phrases.D.To show that the Tin Man is not brave.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。

Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.Your friend may, however, warn you not to "wear your heart on your sleeve." In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.If your friend says "my heart bleeds for you," she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.In the ever-popular motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz,"(绿野仙踪) the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did “have a heart”. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was "chicken-hearted." That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.When you are frightened or concerned, your "heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The heart was the center of a person's emotions.B.There are many expressions about heart and what do they mean.C.We should learn some expressions about “heart”.D.It is important to learn some expressions about “heart”33.How many expressions about “Heart” are mentioned in the passage?A.10B.8C.9D.1134.If you hear one of your family members is hurt in a traffic accident, you will feel ________.A.heart is in your mouth.B.have your heart in the right placeC. wear your heart on your sleeveD.lose your heart35.Why did the writer mention"The Wizard of Oz,"in the passage?A.To show that it is ever popular.B.To introduce a film to the readersC.To give some more examples about the phrases.D.To show that the Tin Man is not brave.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。
