Our Work in Arts.BBetween flights,as I sat in the Denver airport,a young man approached me.He tilted (倾斜)his head toward the chair next to mine,then toward my suitcase blocking the chair.There were many open seats.Why this one?I thought.When he sat,I noticed the markings on his bag and his faded uniform.I asked.He nodded.I bowed my head slightly.Then he asked where I was headed."Home."Hands on his knees,he told me he was on vacation and was going home to surprise his mother.I asked how long it had been since he'd seen her (five years).I asked what he was looking forward to at home(a shower).He scanned the room cautiously as he talked.When he looked at me,his eyes kept no distance.He seemed to want something from me.I could not tell what it was.He said it was hard to stop scanning for danger.Yesterday,he'd been in the desert.Fellow soldiers had been blown into pieces around him.Today,he was in an airport trying to understand anger over flight delays and the rush for coffee.He didn't know how to be,here in this place.I thought maybe I understood.One evening after spending hours with a friend who just lost her son,I went to my daughter's performance.In the crowded lobby,mothers complained about their seats and bemoaned other small slights,but only compassion made sense to me.I feltdisoriented,distant.I told the soldier about this.He breathed deeply and showed a small smile.He'd seen the raw and unbearable.But he did not know how to tell us.This was what he needed from me,I realized.He did not want the seat beside mine.He wanted to sit with me.I did not know his name,how his surprise would turn out,how long his tour of duty would last.We sat together until our flights were called and then said goodbye,two strangers heading home.4.How did the author feel when the soldier approached him?______A. Angry.B. Confused.C. Respectful.D. Joyful.5.Why did the man keep scanning the room?______A. He attempted to find a coffee shop.B. He formed the habit of staying alert.C. He was distractedD. He was checking6.What does the word "bemoaned" mean in paragraph 5?______A. Showed respect for.B. Added fuel to.C. Expressed dissatisfaction with.D. Took pride in.7.What did the soldier really want?______A. My support for the soldiers.B. My knowledge of the cruelty of war.C. A chance to get away from the battlefield.D. A brief sense of securityCWal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer(零售商).It's the world's largest company,which sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year.Wal-Mart exercises its power for just one purpose:to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers.At Wal-Mart,that goal is never reached.The retailer has a clear policy for suppliers:On basic products that don't change,the price Wal-Mart will pay,and will charge shoppers,must drop year after year.But what almost no one outside the world of Wal-Mart and none of its 21,000 suppliers know is the high cost of those low prices.To survive in the face of its pricing demands,makers of everything from bikes to jeans have had to close US plants in favor of obtaining products from abroad.Indeed,the real story of Wal-Mart,the story that never gets told,is the story of the pressure the biggest retailer constantly applies to its suppliers in the name of bringing us "every day low prices".The giant retailer's low prices often come with a high cost.Wal-Mart's pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas.Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line?Of course,US companies have been moving jobs offshore for decades;long before Wal-Mart was a retailing power.Butthere is no question that the chain is helping accelerate the loss of American jobs to low-wage countries such as Thailand.People ask,"How can it be bad for things to come into the US cheaply?" Sure,it's great to have bargains.But you can't buy anything if you're not employed.There is no question that Wal-Mart's drive to squeeze out cost has benefited consumers.By now,it is accepted wisdom that Wal-Mart makes the companies it does business with more efficient and focused.Wal-Mart itself is known for continuous improvement in its ability to handle,move,and track goods.It is legendary(传奇)for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems.It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods.8.Wal-Mart's low price policy results in ______ .A. more high-paying jobsB. worse designed packagesC. bigger profit of its partnersD. more jobless American workers9.What does the underline word offshore in the passage mean?______A. In abroad.B. In the Ocean.C. On the beach.D. On an island not far from shore.10.What can we infer from the passage?______A. Still more quality goods will be provided.B. The food you get at Wal-Mart costs least.C. The value of Mal-Mart is over assessed.D. Wal-Mart is a very demanding company.11.What's the best title for the passage?______A. The Fortune Wal-Mart MakesB. The Wal-Mart you don't KnowC. The Biggest Retailer-Wal-MartD. The Money Saving Tip in Wal-MartDIf you know exactly what you want,the best way to get a job is to get specialized training.A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers.At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration,for example,bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid rge companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.But in the long run,too much specialization does not pay off.Business,which has been flooded with MBAs,no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval.The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially,but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specializeddegrees,Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices.Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires,they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts(文科)graduate.Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have:writing and communication skills,organizational skills,open-mindedness and adaptability,and the ability to analyze and solve problems.David Birch,manager of the Boston Red Sox,says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree."I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,"says Birch.For a liberal-arts degree,students focus on some basic courses that include literature history,mathematics,economics,science,human behavior and a computer course or two.With these useful and important courses,you can feel free to specialize,"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,"says Scheetz.12.The job market is in great need of people with ______ .A. special training in special fieldsB. a bachelor's degree in educationC. formal schooling and work experienceD. an MBA degree from top universities13.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______ .A. an MBA degree does not help in future promotionB. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are nowC. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have gotD. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation14.David Birch says that he only hires liberal-arts people because ______ .A. they will follow others' ways of solving problemsB. they can do better in bundling changing situationsC. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fieldsD. they have attended special programs in management15.The author supports the idea that ______ .A. on-the-job training is less costly in the long runB. formal schooling is less important than job trainingC. specialists are more expensive to hire than generalistsD. generalists will do better than specialists in management.二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共10分。

高二年级2014-2015年第二学期第一次月考 (英语)一、阅读理解(每小题2分,共计28分)ADo you always understand the directions on a bottle of medicine? Do you know what is meant by “Take only as directed”? Read the following directions and see if you understand them.“To reduce pain , take t wo tablets(药片)with water , followed by one tablet every eight hours , as required . For night-time and early morning relief(缓解疼痛)take two tablets at bedtime . Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four hours.For children of six to twelve years old, give half the amount(量).

One way is the greater production of common energy sources (能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation (节能), which means using energy more efficiently (有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压;抽) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.6. How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five.7. From the text we learn that coalA. is quite easy to produceB. is not used most efficientlyC. is the most common source of energyD. could be renewed only by new technology8. The writer tells about the "special houses" because they______.A. show the excellent skills of the buildersB. serve as an example of energy conservationC. are heated by different sources of energyD. are warmer than other types of houses9. The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean ______.A. heat inside the earthB. underground sourceC. renewable sourceD. temperature of the earth10. At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?A. One km.B. Two km.C. Three km.D. Four km.CMartha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant(意义重大的) had happened in the way of promotions(升职)or salary increases. Martha felt that hersupervisor(上级), a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work, I don’t need to stay here. I’ll go where I’m appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her things and stormed out of the office.T hat night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?”“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”“Well, not exactly, but…”Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Mrs. Kenny if you need one?”“A recommendation?…from Mrs. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.“Martha, I hope you didn’t burn your bridges.” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently.”11. Martha is unhappy in her job because _____.A.she has not advanced B.the work is not significantC.her supervisor is younger than she D.there is too much work with little payment12. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A.At her supervisor’s criticism, Martha lost her temper.B.Mr. Petri felt Martha was not valued in her present job.C.Martha’s interview with the director was on her lunch hour. D.Martha got the name of the director through her cousin.13.The phrase “the last straw”probably refers to _____.A.the last opportunity B.the straw that saves Martha’s lifeC.the last reminder D.the final unpleasant thing14.What does Maria think of Martha’s decision?A.Martha has handled the matter properly.B.Martha shouldn’t have set the bridge on fire.C.Martha should have found a new job before leaving.D.Martha shouldn’t have lost her temper with her supervisor二、完形填空(每小题1分,共计20分)Whenever we hear about “the homeless,”, most of us think of the Developing world.

高中英语真题-2014-2015学年高二英语4月阶段形成检测试题

高中英语真题:2014-2015学年高二英语4月阶段形成检测试题ADo you enjoy reading poems? Rabindranath Tagore (泰戈尔) was an Indian writer and poet, who was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Compo sed of 326 short verses, Stray Birds (飞鸟集) is a collection of short verses translated from Bengali into English by the poet himself, where Tagore spiritualizes nature into the experiences of human existence while demonstrating his love for nature and simplicity through poetic words.Now read the following verses taken from Stray Birds (1916) and try to answer the questions.•Man does not reveal himself in his history, he struggles up th rough it. (verse 52)•The cloud stood humbly (谦逊的) in a corner of the sky.The morning crowned it with splendor (光辉). (verse 100)•Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal. (verse 24 8)•Bees sip honey from flowers and hum their thanks when they leave.The gaudy butterfly is sure that the flowers owe thanks to him. (verse 127)•The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes. (v erse 243)•Let him only see the thorns who has eyes to see the rose. (v erse 230)•Set bird’s wings with gold and it will never again soar in the s ky. (verse 231)•Men are cruel, but Man is kind. (verse 219)•Let me not put myself wrongly to my world and set it against me. (verse 206)•Wrong cannot afford defeat but right can. (verse 68)•“I give my whole water in joy,” sings the waterfall. “though littl e of it is enough for the thirsty.” (verse 69)•The woodcutter’s axe(斧头) begged for its handle from the tree.The tree gave it. (verse 71)•Thank the flame for its light, but do not forget the lampholder standing in the shade with constancy of patience. (verse 64)1. Which of the verses sing praise for those who are ready to sacrifice (奉献) themselves without asking anything in return?A. verse 248 &69B. verse 71 & 100C. verse 69 & 71D. verse 100& 522. Which of the verse makes strong comparison and contrast between two opposite types of persons?A. verse 68B. verse 248C. verse 127D. verse 2433. Which of the verses might be most suitable said to parents, telling them not to spoil their children with wealth?A. verse 231B. verse 71C. verse 127D. verse 100BWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my ha ppiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserv e the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were sh y and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fa shionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social beha viors. We said little at school, but she would come to my hous e and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of u s would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that gr ew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At t he end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in , I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not ex plore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent thi ngs. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we p arted. We gave to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whos e imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, s ometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agr ee that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same min d. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must t ell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright h our with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime servic es of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.4. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend’s house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend5. In Paragraph 3, “We gave to each other” probably means _ _____.A. our exploration of was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away fromC. our unpleasant feeling about disappearedD. we parted with each other in6. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend ______ _.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other7. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsCThe new year has begun and some people may be looking to 2015 as the year they get a dog. A furry friend will bring a lot of fun and companionship to your family — especially for urba n residents who always feel lonely living in the fast-paced society. But looking after a pet does require some resp onsibility from the pet owner if you want your new friend to be healthy and happy in your family.The following is a checklist for people who are considering ad opting an animal.Where to find a dogThere are hundreds of pet shops in , big and small, where you can find puppies at a cost ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of yuan. The pet shop will tell you some basic f acts about dogs of a specific breed. But don't forget to ask ab out the vaccination status if you are buying a puppy, which ne eds three injections with an interval of three to four weeks bet ween shots.Another option is to ask your friends if they know anyo ne with a dog that has recently had puppies. This option is more reliable than buying a puppy from someone you don’t know , especially the street peddlers who might carry animals with d iseases.Another highly recommended option is to adopt one from an NGO dedicated to providing shelter and protecting stray anim als. This is quite practical if you don't care about the dog's bre ed.Vaccination (疫苗)As a pet owner, there are some things you must do oth erwise you may get into big trouble, and one of these is gettin g your dog vaccinated.Dogs need regular shots to fight against canine parvovir us (犬细小病毒), rabies and other diseases or viruses.To ensure the vaccines are not substandard, we strongl y recommend you get your furry friend a shot from a qualified vet, which may cost a few hundred yuan each year.Another advantage of using the vet as opposed to getti ng your dog vaccinated yourself, is that the vet will examine it s condition to see whether it is suitable to get a shot now and take immediate action if it has an allergic reaction to the vacci ne.Because you are advised not to give your animal a bat h for one week following its vaccination, you should clean you r animal one or two days before the shot if you don’t want you r dog to get too dirty.Parasite (寄生虫) protectionAs a pet owner, you need to be prepared to get rid of fl eas (跳蚤), heartworm (犬心虫), roundworm (蛔虫), intestinal worms and other parasites from your dog.Dogs need regular flea and tick control and parasite pro tection, even if it does not show symptoms of being affected b y the parasite. An adult dog needs to be fed with a tablet ever y six months to make sure it does not have any parasite.You also need to take measures every three months to help expel fleas and ticks from your animal. You need to learn the signs of a flea bite: they may immediately cause a dog to feel extremely itchy. Within 30 minutes of a bite, they may dev elop a red bump. Secondary infections caused by scratching are also common.Dog trainingNo dog is born with good manners. Pooping on the car pet, leaping enthusiastically onto guests, pulling so hard that it practically yanks your arm out of the socket when on walks —that’s all perfectly acceptable in the canine world. It's up toyou to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.Despite the adage(谚语;格言) about old dogs and new tricks, there are no age limits to teaching dogs. And whether you've got a brand-new puppy or an older dog, the first step is the same: learn ho w to be a good teacher.Every dog is different and will respond better to a slightl y different training style, but these general guidelines apply: st ay consistent and patient, and reward your dog for getting it ri ght.8. The underlined word “vet” means____________.A. a surgeonB. a physicianC. a dentistD.a doctor who treats animals9. According to the article, how many aspects should a pet ow ner pay attention to?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. Which of the following sentences is FALSE?A.A dog can bring much fun and companionship to your famil y — especially for urban residents who always feel lonely livin g in the fast-paced society.B. As a pet owner, it is unnecessary for you to be prepared to get rid of fleas.C. It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.D. After getting a dog, the first step for its owner is to be a goo d teacher.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并将答案涂在答题卡上。

As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that t here may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bond(结合)better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together, perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behavior. Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.【1】What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and human’s singing in chorus?A.The act of calling each other.B.The sense of achievement.C.The act of hunting for something.D.The sense of belonging to a group.【2】Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?A.Wolves separate from each other after howling.B.Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C.Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D.Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.【3】Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to______.A.show their ranksB.find their companionsC.report the missing onesD.express their loneliness【4】“Howling…is a contagious behaviour” (in the last paragraph) means______.A.howling is a signal for huntingB.howling is a way of communicationC.howling often occurs in the morningD.howling spreads from one to another2.One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometer down the railway tracks.Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on the GPS. She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device(设备)and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fa il Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital(数码)devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices:Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.【1】The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.A.close hit B.heavy loss C.narrow escape D.big mistake【2】Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A.Modern technology is what we can’t live without.B.Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C.Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D.GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.【3】In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.A.one-sided B.reasonable C.puzzling D.well-based【4】What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A.The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B.The relationship between human and technology.C.The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D.The human unawareness of technical problems.3.ElixirWritten by Eric WalterTwelve-year-old Roth becomes a friend of Dr. Banting and his Assistant,Mr. Best, who are in search of a cure for diabetes(糖尿病). She finds herself torn between her sympathy for the animals being experimented on and her friendship with Banting and Best.George Washington CarverWritten by Elizabeth MacleodMeet the “Peanut(花生)specialist”, George Washington Carver, the inventorand professor who made over 325 products out of peanuts.

To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about humann ature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature wentlike this:“To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal:people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite—find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that willmake things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything . People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okaynot to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that:if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?【1】According to the passage, which of following seems the most human?A.To search for truth.B.To achieve one’s ideal.C.To make fun of others’ mistakes.D.To criticize others for one’s own error.【2】Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A.A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.B.A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.C.A company’s next move follows a good plan.D.A lawyer acts on fine judgments.【3】What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?A.Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B.Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.C.A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.D.Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.【4】What would be the best title for his passage?A.A Mirror of Human NatureB.To Blame or to ForgiveC.A Mark of MaturityD.Truth or Excuse5.A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) speciesThe discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant and African savanna elephantOnce they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石),mammoths and mastodons the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists. There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5metres.The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minois, said, “We nowhave to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purpose. Since 1950 all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先)for conservation purpose .”【1】One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.A.the Asian elephant B.the forest elephantC.the savanna elephant D.the mastodon elephant【2】The underlined word “divergence” in paragraph 4means “________”A.evolution B.exhibition C.separation D.examination【3】The researcher’s conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant’s ____________A.DNA B.height C.weight D.population【4】What were Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?A.The conversation of African elephants.B.The purpose of studying African elephantsC.The way to divide African elephants into two unitsD.The reason for the distinction of African elephants【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Naturalist’s Belief about Eleph ants.B.Amazing Experiment about ElephantsC.An Unexpected Finding about ElephantsD.A Long scientific Debate about Elephants四、其他[1] Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He became a millionaire when he was only 24. His father was wealthy, but he did not help his son. Getty made his millions alone. He made his money from oil. He owned Getty Oil and over 100 oth er companies. The Fortune magazine once called Getty “the richest man in the world.”[2]But money _________. He married five times and divorced five times. He had five children but spent little time with them. None of Getty’s children had very happy lives.[3]Getty loved to make money and loved to save it. In spite of his great wealth, Getty was miser. Every evening, he wrote down every cent he spent that day. He even put pay telephone in the guest’s bedrooms in his house so he could save money on phone bills.[4] In 1973, kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson, and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return. Getty’s son asked his father for money to save his child. But Getty refused. The kidnappers were merciless and Getty’s son made repeated re quests for help from his father. Finally, Getty agreed to lend the money, but at 4 percent interest.[5] Getty started a museum at his home Malibu, California. He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum. When Getty died in 1976, the value of the collection in the museum was $1 billion. He left all his money to the museum. After his death, the museum grew in size. Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States. Getty made a large fortune in his life, but he gave his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about and love art.【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

(no more than 7 words)【3】Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph3._______________________________________________________________________________【4】What did the kidnappers do to Getty’s family (no more than 10 words)【5】What does the author want to tell us about Getty in the last paragraph?

2014-2015年高二下英语第一次月考试题及答案

第一部分:听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from ―another earth‖? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside —looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 21.―ABC‖ in this passage means ―____________‖.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22.Chinese in Western countries are called ―banana persons‖ because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23.N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A . American Chinese are great.B. We love American Chinese.C. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizensD. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24.This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, ―China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.‖Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25.Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A.there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB.the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC.there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD.the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26.Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A.The person who caused the problem B.The mediator himselfC.All the persons in the teahouse D.The owner of the teahouse 27.This passage mainly talks about _______.A.how to make B.the special functions of the teahouses C.how to open a teahouse D.the special way of enjoying teaCBeijing is facing severe (严重的) traffic problems."Roads are wider now, but traffic jams (堵塞) often happen every day. " Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2007, there were a few subway lines in Beijing. There was only line 1, line 2, line 13 and Batong Line. But now there is line 5, line 10, line 4, the airport fast -track and the Olympic branch line. And there will be 13 subway lines under construction in Beijing at the same time at the end of this year.The opening of the new subway line is convenient to tourists. Before, arriving in Beijing, many visitors would usually take a taxi to interesting places of Beijing. Today, as soon as people get off the plane, they can take the Airport Express Line, going to different interesting places through the subway lines. The government also strives to open a new line each year from now until 2015. The subway of Beijing reached 300 kilometers in 2010 and it will reach 561 kilometers in 2015.Miss Xiao, who lives in South Water Bridge and works at Hepingli, said that traveling by her car still took her at least one hour from home to work because of traffic jams. Now, because of the railway line 5, Miss Xiao can arrive at her office in less than haft an hour.28.What are the traffic problems in Beijing now?A. Drivers drive too fast.B. Traffic jams often happen.C. Roads are not wide enough.D. Traffic lights are always broken29.Why is the opening of the new subway line convenient to tourists?A. Because the new subway line is very interesting.B. Because the new subway line's ticket is very cheap.C. Because visitors can take the subway to many different interesting places.D. Because people in Beijing can cost less money than that before.30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It takes Miss Xiao less time to get to her workplace by railway line 5.B. Visitors like to take a taxi in Beijing better.C. The subway of Beijing will reach 300 kilometers in 2015.D. There will be 15 subway lines in Beijing at the end of the year.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A. People in Beijing invented high -speed trains.B. Railway lines in Beijing only covers some areas.C. Beijing government has done something to make traffic jams less.D. Beijing welcomes visitors from different places.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境)don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical(可行的). And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t p ut in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(难以忍受的)pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking th at way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined wor d ―that‖ refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.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。

AHorror seized the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle. Caught in a trench(战壕)with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his commander if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.“You can go,” said the commander, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.”The commander’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.To one’s surpr ise, he managed to reach his friend, raised him onto his shoulder, and brought him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them fell in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his frien d. “I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead, and your wound is deadly.” “It was worth it, though, sir.” the soldier said. “How do you mean ‘worth it’?” responded the commander. “Your friend is dead!” “Yes sir.” the soldier answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, ‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’”Many a time in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.21. What’s the commander’s attitude towards the soldier’s saving his friend?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Supportive.22. The phrase “No Man’s Land” most probably means “ ” in the passage.A. the area where there is no manB. a bare wasteland which can’t be usedC. an unoccupied area between opposing armiesD. the area on the court between the base line and the service line23. According to the soldier, why did he say “It was worth it.”?A. Because the soldier saved his friend in time.B. Because the soldier successfully brought his friend back.C. Because what he did will bring him great honor and make him get promoted in his later life.D. Because his friend was still alive when he reached him and he didn’t make his friend disappointed.BLarry was on another of his underwater adventures but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his adventures. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along theshore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first adventure, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first adventure without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many sp ots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater adventure.24. What can be inferred from Paragraph2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.25. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To dive into the deep water.B. To protect himself from danger.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photo more conveniently.26. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.B. Larry had a poor memory.C. Larry was not good at math.D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.27. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Become a successful diver.B. Make a good diving guide.C. Take a lot of photos underwater.D. Have longer hours of training.CMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a £900,000 check. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine”.With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-bornphysiologist developed IVF - leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples.It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Louise Brown, the world’s first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969.Ivf-in-vitro fertilization is the process whereby egg cells are fertilized outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five—the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally.Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said: “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said: “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted - this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.28. What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?A. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growingC. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies.D. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby.29. What does the underlined word “afflicting”(Paragraph 4)most probably refer to?A. TroublingB. DevelopingC. ImprovingD. Confusing30. Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life.B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then.C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family.D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples.31. It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________.A. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough.B. different opinions were voi ced on Professor Edwards’ finding.C. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded.D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral.32. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Life Stories of Robert EdwardsB. Preparations for Having a BabyC. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert EdwardsD. Treatment of Infertility in a LabDVanessa Brown, a senior lecturer of art at Nottingham University, explores the cultural and psychological relation between sunglasses and our modern idea of “cool.” Her research has uncovered about why most of us look better in shades.Because they really make your misshapen face look better. Put on a pair of sunglasses, and an instant beauty as a result of balance! The dark lenses cover up any unbalanced oddities(奇异) around your eyes, and research on facial attractiveness shows a clear link between balance and our sense of beauty.Because of mystery. Many of the quick judgments we form about people come from looking in the eyes; shade yours, and you’re instantly a more attractive presence. Eye contact helps us form judgments about someone’s intelligence, confidence, and sincerity and sunglasses keep us literally in the dark about forming those perceptions. And it works both ways, because the wearer of the sunglasses feels more mysterious, too.Because of their historical link with sharpness and attraction. We take their existence for granted today, but sunglasses are relatively modern, Brown said. Sales started to pick up in the 1920s, but the y didn’t become commonplace until about two decades after that. The way sunglasses were most used prior to their commercialization helps explain their inside coolness, Brown said, because in their early days sunglasses were primarily used during risky water and snow sports, which made them seem “daring and totall y modern.”Soon after that, Hollywood stars of the 1950s and 1960s started wearing sunglasses to defend themselves from being recognized by the public or bothered by paparazzi(狗仔队), whose flashbulbs would often explode violently, Brown said. Anyhow, movie stars’ adoption of them strengthened a sense of romance. Also—and this is more from my own personal research than Brown’s—hang-overs. They’re really great for hiding hang-overs.33. Which of the following would Vanessa Brown agree with?A. Sunglasses deliver mystery to the observers as well as the wearers.B. Sunglasses were mainly used in risky sports after their commercialization.C. Sunglasses are relatively modern and they became commonplace in the 1920s.D. Sunglasses cover up unbalanced oddities on the face to give people a sense of mystery.34.The writer believes that Hollywood stars prefer to wear sunglasses ________.A. to hide their hang-oversB. not to be recognized in the publicC. to be more attractive and romanticD. to escape the flashbulbs of paparazzi35. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage?(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5)第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完型填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
