山西省太原市2016-2017学年高二英语3月月考试卷（含解析）2017.03
一、单项填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
1. I was ________ when I saw Yao Ming play for the first time. His ability and power are .
A. amazed,astonishing
B. amazing,astonished
C. amazed,astonished
D. amazing,astonishing
【答案】A
【解析】考查由分词转换的形容词的用法。

本题的amazing / astonishing 令人惊讶的；amazed /astonished.感到惊讶的。

句意：当我第一步看见姚明玩，我感到惊讶。

他的能力和力量令人惊讶。

故A正确。

过去分词转换的形容词常用来修饰人或有的情感和表情，如look,appearance。

现在分词转换的形容常用来修饰事物，这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或定语修饰名词。

也可在句中构成形容短语对主句的情况进行说明。

【名师点睛】动词-ing和-ed的区别
-ing和-ed是由现在分词和过去分词转化而来的形容词，具有形容词的性质。

１. -ing属外向性质的词，用于指人、事、物的外在影响方面，如amazing意为“使（外）人惊讶的；-ed属内向性质的词，用于指人的内心感受方面，意为“（内心）对……感到惊讶的”-ing 形容词主语通常是物。

一般用来形容“物”本身具有的性质，表示“令人……”。

可以作表语，也可以作定语。

如His ability is astonishing.他的能力令人惊讶。

（作表语）
This is an astonishing book.（作定语）
２.-ed 形容词一般用来形容“人”的感受，表示“感到……”意为“感兴趣的”。

主语通常是人，且多用于be / get / feel / become interested in结构中。

；“对……感兴趣”，He is interested in playing football. 他对踢足球感兴趣
-ed形容词通常也可表示人的情绪或人的表情。

I can see the amazed look/expression on her face。

我能看见她脸上惊奇的表情。

特别提醒：以上两点只是相对说来，并非绝对。

如：The old man is very interesting. 该句表示这位老人(本身)很有趣。

３. 在It’s +形容词+ to do sth句型中，要用-ing形容词。

It’s tiring to work with Tom.和汤姆一起工作令人厌烦。

2. Jordan was the second player ________ more than 3,000 points in a season.
A. scoring
B. to score
C. has scored
D. had scored
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词不定式定语。

如果名词前有序数词修饰，要用动词不定式作后置定语。

句意：Jordan是赛季中得分超过3000分的第二个运动员。

故选B。

3. ________we need is some interesting news.
A. What
B. Which
C. That
D. Whether
【答案】A
【解析】考查名词从句。

我们所需要的是一些有趣的消息。

________we need这个主语从句中，need 后缺少宾语，故要用what。

4. The best moment for the football star was ________ he scored the winning goal.

【解析】试题分析：本文是记叙文，讲述了作者在八岁时第一次听现场摇滚音乐会的经历和
感受，以及后来也成为那个Black Wednesday乐队的粉丝，也因此喜欢和走入其他的音乐，
但是再听这个乐队的乐曲时又会回忆起那个演唱会的情境。

11. B 根据意思：“我的哥哥和他的朋友们都是这个乐队的______”。

根据下文53空格后面
的内容说：“我也成为了BW乐队的粉丝”所以这个空格选择B“粉丝”。

12. C 空格后的that 从句指代“BW乐队将要在当地剧院演出”这件事。

所以排除
A“猜”D“预测”，而乐队要来演奏是一件客观发生的事情，所以排除“想”因为“想”的
宾语一般都是主观的想法，所以答案是C。

13. D 根据他们得知BW要来开演唱会，，与之相关的动词是bought，去“买”的一定是“票”，
所以答案是D。

14. A 本句意思为：“他的一个朋友无法前往，所以我的哥哥把票______我”。

可以排除A“预
订”D“找到”。

比较容易误选C“返回”注意return这个词指的是“去-回”这个过程，return me the ticket的含义是：原先这张票就是我的，哥哥拿走给朋友了，然后又还给我。

这显然是不对的，所以答案是B“主动给予”。

15. B 我要去看演唱会的我很“兴奋”，所以答案是B。

16. A 句中动词是found和形容词是our很重要，该句意思应为：“我还记得我们找到我们的______的时候，剧场里全是兴奋的嘈杂的声音”。

要注意形容词“我们的”，排除“入口”“地点”“空间”，这些都是大家的，所以答案是A“座位”。

我们买了票，当然要找到我们的座位。

17. D 语境是：“灯熄灭了，大家都变得______”所以排除“舒服”，“严肃”“紧张”，所以答案是D“安静”。

18. B关键在于make out 的理解，这个动作的宾语是stage，舞台，灯全黑了，作者应该是“分辨不出”舞台是什么样子的，所以make out 可以理解为分辨出。

所以，作者应该处于“黑暗中”，答案是B
19. C 句子的主语是member band stage，所以这里的结构应为：“乐队成员_____舞台”，所以答案是C“走上”。

20. D 哥哥在我耳边喊了一些什么，但是我不能“听见”应该是最合理的，所以答案是D。

21. A 在as……as的结构中，表示和……一样，所以与之相关的名词是music 和jet engine，表示音乐和喷气式飞机的引擎之间的共同点，这种共同点点一定是“响”，所以答案是A。

注意引擎是不会具备“快”特点的。

用“快”来形容的应该是喷气式飞机。

22. C 该句意思应为：“我客观上有能力______鼓声和贝斯音符在我的肚子里”。

所以排除B“触摸”D“消化”。

比价容易误选C“享受”，这个词的排除比价有难度。

首先，享受这个动作是主观上的，而句子末尾的in my stomach显然是一个客观上的部位，我们的肚子是没有办法享受音乐的。

其次，这一句话紧接在上一句话后面，上一句话的内容强调的是音乐很响，这一句话应该还是在进一步解释音乐响到什么样的程度才比较合理，而“享受”这个动词强调的是音乐很美，没有在强调很响。

23. D 该句应为：“我想不起他们演奏过的歌曲，我只______我很享受他们的演出”。

所以答案是D“记得”。

24. B didn’t want与之相关的名词是it，所以这里的结构应为：“我很享受他们的演出，不想让演出______”。

所以答案是B“结束”。

25. A演出结束，我们离开的地方一定是“剧院”，所以选择A
26. C 句意应为：“我们好像从睡梦中______”所以答案是C“醒来”。

“逃脱”“旅行”“获益”都和sleep不能构成主谓宾结构。

27. D 句意应为：“我的耳边______最后一首歌曲的节奏”所以答案是D“回响”。

28. B performance“演出”这个词是全文的主旋律，一群疯狂粉丝看一场演出，演出之后又多了一个疯狂粉丝的故事，performance这个词在文中多次出现，此题难度不高。

29. D 前一句话的含义是“我也成为了一个BW的粉丝”空格之后说的是“我会时不时听一听他们的歌”所以两句话之间不可能是让步关系; “否则”“替换”，所以答案是D besides
的原义是“除了…还有”，表示递进，进一步阐释我成为BW粉丝后的状态。

30. C 四个动作的宾语是I’m back at that first show表示“我回到了第一次演出的时候”，实际上我永远也无法回到第一次演出的时候，所以这句话的内容是虚假的，所以选择C“想象”。

只有这个动词后面可以加虚假内容。

而“决定”“后悔”“总结”都不合适。

A
What’s the capital of Australia? If you answer Sydney, you’re wrong, with travel website () coming up with a list of the six most surprising non-capital cities in the world.
1) New York City, New York
It may be king of the hill and the top of the heap (堆), but only figuratively (比
喻地). NYC is not the country’s capital, which is Washington DC. Nor is it the state capital, an honor given to the upstate(北部地区的) town of Albany, which is also the birthplace of perforated (穿孔的)toilet paper.
2) Sydney, Australia
Although it is famous for its harbor and opera house, Sydney is not the capital. Canberra, which is just less than its one-hundred-year celebration, is actually the capital of Australia.

Divided by branch of government the capitals are: Bloemfontein , the capital of the judiciary (司法的), Pretoria, the capital of the administrative branch and Cape Town acting as the country’s legislative (立法的) capital.
5) Geneva, Switzerland
Neither this nor Zurich serves as the country’s capital. The attractive, quiet, UNESCO-recognized town of Bern holds this honor.
6) Timbuktu, Mali
Mysterious, exotic (异国情调的), and perhaps the country’s most recognizable name, it takes second place to the city of Bamako. Bamako considered the fastest growing city in Africa.

My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages（旅行产品） via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put throughto a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating（感谢）his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth
over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched(感动) many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old boy he’d never met.
36. The author was then probably working for ______.

B. was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called them
C. didn’t stop smoking even though Frank asked him to

An 11-year-old boy who has been compared to Spanish Impressionist (印象派画家), the great Pablo Picasso, is holding his first exhibition at Llangollen’s Gardening Show this weekend.
Hamad al-Humaidhan, who was born in Kuwait but now lives in Bath, Britain, had no previous knowledge of art history when he first picked up a brush.
But he began to paint his favourite football player, Cristiano Ronaldo, using
Picasso’s trademarks (标志) —bright colours and impressionistic forms.
His father said, "I’ve got lots of books about Picasso and I showed them to Hamad but he didn’t know anything about Picasso —it’s just naturally the way he sees it and he just loves to paint."
His first painting of Ronaldo, done when he was just nine, was sold at auction (拍卖) in Bath for ￡650, which drew the attention of local art businessman Steve Turner. "A colleague sent me some pictures of Hamad’s work and I just couldn’t believe the size of it and how the colours blended (融合) together," he said. "He had talent and I thought Picasso had been reborn.""I’ve shown his work to private art collectors. They liked them very much and everyone was eager to buy, so the first six paintings have been snapped up. I bought two of them myself. The next set of his works will go on show for the first time at Llangollen, which will be the first opportunity for the public to see his amazing talent."
Hamad enjoys maths at school but ranks painting higher. "I think I prefer painting! It makes me relaxed and when I feel tired I just pick up a paint brush," he said. "I just close my eyes and see how it’s going to l ook and then I just paint it —I paint every day. I just love the colours and I want people to enjoy my paintings."
Now Hamad is nervously waiting for the opening of his exhibition.
