瓦房店市高级中学高二英语月考试题考试时间：100分钟总分：150分 2015.10.11第一部分：听力（略）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AFrom the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source (源头)of possible failure and public humiliation（侮辱）. When children are little we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. "The children sat stunned and silent. Was this teacher talking seriously？One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. T hen, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that" I said just as seriously "？ I mean every word of it.Dur ing the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations(插图) I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was re ading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going" She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. "This is exactly what reading, I think ,should be ：find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, and then go on to something else.21. According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result from______ .A. being made to read aloud before othersB. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others22. The teacher told his students to read______ .A. for higher scores in examsB. for knowledgeC. for enjoymentD. for a larger vocabulary23. Upon hearing the teacher's talk, the children probably felt that _______.A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers' talk24. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard t ime finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.BNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids(金字塔) near Cairo. But a new study suggests long-ago builders could have tied wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Strictly speaking, I think what they’re suggesting is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said. People have long been puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. And there’s no clear answer.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks(石块) along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated（润滑） the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence(证据) from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found smal l amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program：Why don’t they just try rolling the things ? A square (方形) could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by tying wooden poles to its sides .That should make a block of stone easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along diffe rent kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as movi ng it along a slippery(滑的)path.West thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.25.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles26.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Rolling the blocks with poles tied.B.Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.D.rolling the blocks with fat.27. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.28. What is the text mainly about ?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about how ancient Egyptians built pyramidsD.Views about the ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.CNothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability（残疾）for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filledit up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak（泄漏）!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad. We took a taste and soon we drank up every last drop of soup.29. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family.B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell.D. To set a good example to us.30. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?A. It is popular among the neighbors.B. It contains honey and vegetables.C. It looks very wonderful.D. It didn’t taste as terrible as expected31. What can we learn about Dad form the text?A. He is an experienced cook.B. He is a troublesome father.C. He has a positive attitude to life.D. He suffers a lot from his disability.DWhen I was in medical college, I went camping with some of my friends. The season was summer; therefore we chose to go to the seaside. After arriving there, we rented a room and left our luggage there. We finished our lunch and then decided to hire a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.We started to row, but about one mile out, the weather suddenly changed. Although the weather was not good we didn’t want to give it up, but finally my friends and I agreed that we should go back. We tried to change the boat’s direction, but as soon as we changed it,the oarlock（桨架）broke. So we were unable to turn back. We had to wait for help because we couldn’t do anything.After seeing the change of the weather, we shouldn’t have continued to row, but it was too late. We regretted it. The sea changed a lot, the waves got a lot high, and the boat began to shake like a candle. One of my friends began to cry; another started to vomit. Three hours passed, and nobody came to help us. We were praying.After long hours of waiting, two boats came to our rescue and we survived. If they hadn’t come to get us, we would have crossed the border between Turkey and Greece for the border was very close.This story is the most exciting in my life because we could have died , but luck was with us and we escaped.,32. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us a scary experience at sea.B. To tell us the weather at the seaside was changeable.C. To tell us an unforgettable experience when swimming.D. To tell us it is dangerous to boat at sea.33. When did they begin to go boating in the sea?A. In the morning.B. In the afternoonC. In the eveningD. At night.34. They were unable to turn back because_______.A. the weather was bad for them to do so.B. they couldn’t change the boat’s direction.C. they could not row the boat.D. they lost the direction35.What they regretted was that______ when the weather changed.A. they went camping at the seaside.B. they went on rowing.C. the waves got high.D. they started too late.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。

Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her.

Who had the unclear motivation for his/her crime?A. Henry P.B. Mrs F.C. PeterD. Mrs A.3.（8分）BThe full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

2016-2017学年度上学期瓦房店市高级中学十月份月考高二英语试题第I卷第一部分听力（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）AIt was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house.Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father movingaround mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there？”I called to him.He looked up, smiling, “I'm making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just aboutanything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however,Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgotabout his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花) throughout the front lawn—blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little facesmoving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn.He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have beenmore per fectly timely to my needs?My father's crocuses bloomed (开花) each spring for the next five seasons, alwaysbringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and lightis coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none.I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I neverdid. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. Itwas Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual—my familyoften talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as Iturned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass withsmall piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn't bloomedin over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized itssignificance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.21．According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.A．it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise wasB．the author was unpacking when her father was making the surpriseC．it was not the first time that the author's father had made a surpriseD．the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father22．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.B．The author's father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.C．The author often thought about her father after he died.D．The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.23．The author's father should be best described as ________.A．a part time worker who loved flowers B．a kindhearted man who lived with faithC．a fulltime gardener with skillful hands D．an ordinary man with doubts in his life 24．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Crocuses—My Source of Faith B．Crocuses—Father's SurpriseC．A Pink Crocus—My Memory D．Crocuses in Blossom—My FavoriteBMore than great drinks, great rewardsEnjoy all the benefits and more with your membership to our Loyalty Program!

They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to their children—either fo r the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn't go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents reported inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter th at if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fair would come and give them to the children who needed them.”In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students' recollections about their parents' lying and obtained similar results: parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place，” said LEE. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges p arents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests，” said Heyman.“It is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children's beliefs about honesty.”28．The subject of parental lying ________.A．was not allowed to be researched in the pastB．attracts little attention because it is commonC．hasn't got many published results about itD．is becoming more and more popular29．What does Heyman think of parental lying?A．It is a great parenting strategy. B．Parents should think twice before using it.C．It usually does more good than harm. D．Parents should do something to make up for itafter using it.30．Parents usually _______ when their young children don't go to bed properly. A．turn off the bedroom lights and play some music B．shout at them loudly C．shut the door and let them alone D．make up some magical creatures to let them believe 31．In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find the passage? A．Business. B．Education. C．Technology. D．Fashion.D“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags，“You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam, I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Lint on Higt School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people , it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed thro ugh gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel theurge to spread the latest news, things about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story”might have.32.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to______ .A. introduce a topic B .present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose33.An important negative effects of gossip is that it_______.A. breaks up relationshipsB. embarrasses the listenerC. spreads information aroundD. causes unpleasant experiences34.In the auther’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it______.A.gives them a feeling of pleasureB. help them to make more friendsC.makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people35.Professor David Wilson think that gossip can ____.A. provide students with written ruleB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to impove student handbooksD. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）For college students, graduation signals an exciting new beginning. 36 Many students wonder: What do I do now? What career is best for me? Most expert advice on choosing careers boils down to the following points.Knowing YourselfWhat are your interests? Abilities? Skills? 37 T he results may surprise you! These can be useful, but they’re not the last word.InvestigatingInvestigating occupations is much more difficult. For most people, there isn’t just one ‘right’ job, but several that could be satisfying. 38 Talk to people who have occupations that interest you. Find out what they like and dislike about the ir job.39Many people choose their careers because they believe strongly in a particular cause. Some might choose to work in areas like m edicine, charity or environmental protection. Some have a strong interest in history or a love for the arts. 40 So in cases like these, the field is often chosen first, rather than the occupation itself. So if you’ve cho sena field, self-assessment will help you find your place in it. Invest some time and effort,and find the right career for you.A. Try a self-assessment quiz.B. Search through books and Web sites.C. Finding your place.D. But it can also bring a lot of uncertainty and confusion.E. Serious research helps narrow the possibilitiesF. Research your chosen field carefully. What work needs to be done? What training is needed?G. Then they might think about education, museums or art production.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIn eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(节) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.When one of your close friends or f amily members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.1. By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ____.A. it is time to forgive othersB. everyone may make mistakesC. it’s okay to make mistakesD. what can be done to forgive our mistakes2. What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?A. A mistake makes you more likeable.B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.C. people mess up in life at times.D. It’s good to share a great story with others3. According to the passage, we know the author____.A. is pleased with her hard workB. was once a person who wants things to be perfectC. was happy with her high standardD. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made4. What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?A. Making a fool of yourself.B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.C. Admitting mistakes is risky.D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.BThe Spring Festival is supposed to be a period of time entirely for family reunion. However, as people’s enthusiasm for digital hongbao increased, the amount of the time they spend wi th family members during the holiday decreases. There has been widespread criticism(批评) over digital hongbao that it has alienated family reunion.“I used to discuss programs in the Spring Festival Gala(春晚) with my family members , but this year , I hardly had the time to watch the gala because I was staring at my cellphone all the time,”said Kang , a 30 –year old radio station editor. “I went to Karaoke with my cousins during the holiday, and I was grasping digital hongbao the whole time, even when I was singing Karaoke.”“On the last day of the holiday, I started to regret spending too much time on these digital hongbao. Therefore, instead of fighting for hongbao, I watched TV with my mom thatnight. I left home feeling sorry! I should have spent more time with my parents.”“But Kang said regret came with a sense of achievement when he managed to bring classmates together.“Next year, I will still play the game, but with less money and for a smaller amount of time,” Kang said.Dong Chenyu, a teacher from Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it unfair to blame hongbao for destroying family reunion.“When television was invented, people accused it of standing in the way of face-to-face human communication. The same accusation came up on telephone and text message services when they were first invented. The same goes with digital hongbao,” Dong said.“It does nothing but offers a new way of human communication. The rest is people’s choice. As long as no one expects to earn money from this and takes this as a means of gambling(赌博), it’s a good way to improve human connections,” Dong said.5. The underlined word “alienated” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ____.A. separatedB. reservedC. encouragedD. improved6. How did Mr.Kang feel about digital hongbao according to Paragraph 2?A. He felt regretted in spending too much money.B. He had a strong preference for it.C. He was happy to spend too much of his time.D. He felt a sense of guilty in getting it.7. What can we infer from what Mr. Dong said about digital hongbao____.A. It will bring us trouble in holiday reunion.B. It will be out of fashion soon in future.C. Mr. Dong is in favor of the digital hongbao.D. Lots of people will use it to earn money.8. What’s mainly described in the passage?A. The Spring Festival is the best time for family reunion.B. Digital Hongbao is a double-edged sword.C. People’s holiday enthusiasm has decreased.D. Digital hongbao has become a popular way to make money.CThe way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas and electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way. “There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stov es.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.9. How is Paragraph 2 mainly develo ped?A. By making classifications.B. By listing numbers.C. By following time order.D. By describing a process.10. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A. People should use an effective air cleaner.B. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.C. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C. People now can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.12. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The way we cook is changing.B. Types of indoor air pollution.C. The development of electric stoves.D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.DThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and carefulconsideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the f ast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant co ffee, and self-developed film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “ Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”13. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other people’s ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people’s ideas14. If you are a critical thinker, you will ______.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in thenewspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for theirmistakes15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. What is thinkingB. Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking Is Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence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。

瓦房店市高级中学高三10月份月考英语试卷时间：100分钟分数：120分第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）I was a dance teacher when I first began working with people who have disabilities. I had thirty students. These were teens and adults up to the age of 40. We learned new steps together. We laughed together and we shared a love of music and fellowship.I had one pupil , Dan, who didn’t appear to get much out of the class. I never had eye contact with him. When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building, he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class.They said that my class was the high point of their son’s week. Were they just being polite?A week later, a snowstorm held me up and I was later than usual pulling into the school parking lot. Ahead of me by one row of cars, and over to one side, was my student, Dan and his worker. I could see his face as he moved toward the building. He was excited. I watched Dan run toward the building in anticipation(期待着) his weekly treat, my class. I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class, it surely meant a lot to him. Dan did indeed love the class. He was getting enjoyment out of it.Today when I teach courses at the College to students, I remind them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pace as those who are in the middle of the activity. When I teach this, I think, yes and this is true for those with disabilities too!Teach with the wonderful enthusiasm and you are bound to reach your students. Do your job with a love for others and you will be successful no matter what your job involves.21. The writer found her working with disabilities_______.A. boringB. confusingC. satisfyingD. challenging22. The writer has learned from Dan that_______.A. a teacher is sure to reach his studentsB. kids with disabilities need more loveC. students learn in diffetent waysD. students make achievements out of a class23. What can we learn from the passage?A. The writer was doubtful when hearing what Dan’s parents said.B. Dan didn’t get much of the dancing class.C. Dan received more attention in the writer’s class.D. The writer was impatient with Dan at first.24.What may be the best title for the passage?A. A student with disabilityB. Learning with DanC. Enjoying a lesson with childrenD. Sharing love with studentsBDennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year- long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.”So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“ Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,”said Holly Bull, president of Princeton,N,J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gainingmore interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also desbribed the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.”Said Dr.Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “ I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “ And I listen better than I did before.”Geoge Garrian, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Mangement at New York University , certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.25. Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research26.The phrase “sleeping giant”( in 2nd paragragh) indicates that_____.A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap year.B. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American peop le will accept the gap year policy27. What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “ gap year”?A. positiveB. DoubtfulC. UninterestedD. uncertain28. What’s the pas sage mainly about?A. How an adult plans a mid- career gap yearB. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adultsC. Whether a gap year is popular with adultsD. Why a gap year is challenging for individualsCFor many years, machines have been doing work that people once did， including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings：the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California.A team from South Korea and its robot called DRC-Hubo，won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United Sta tes. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform，but more difficult for machines. Not all of the c ompetitors were successful. The failures showed how difficuit it is to design effective walkingmachines.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric，a company that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can，but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food，change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (风味）.But he says if a food can be easily prepared，a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Mori says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (寿司）maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all over the world now eat sushi，but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.29.In Paragraph 1，the author tells us ___ .A.robots just do difficult jobsB.robots are sometimes dangerousC.robots are widely used in our lifeD.robots are gradually replacing humans30.Why did some teams fail at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals?A.Their robots cannot be applied at home.B.Preparing food is really difficult for robots.C.Their robots can just repeat the same movement.D.They failed to design effective walking robots.31.We can infer from the last paragraph that __ .A.Japanese men are lazyB.robots are popular in JapanC.Japan has advanced high technologyD.robots usually take the job of making sushi in Japan32.In which column can we probably see the text?cation.B. Culture.C. Health.D. Science.DDobson Ranch Housing Association 1000 Sidewinder Road Mesa，AZ 85202October 15Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon 1442 Saddleback Road Mesa，AX 85205 Dear Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon，I am writing this letter to congratulate you on your new purchase of a house inthe Dobson Ranch area.

辽宁省瓦房店市2017-2018学年高二英语10月基础知识竞赛试题第二部分阅读理解（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWe humans are superstitious(迷信), believing that Friday the 13th is bad luck and finding a penny is good luck. Here, then, are three of the most common superstitions. Careful with that mirrorAccording to folktales, breaking a mirror is sure to bring yourself seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don’t just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led old American Southerners to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, for fear that their soul might be trapped inside.Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, so people have come up with solutions after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or powdering the broken mirror.Knock on woodThis phrase is designed to break away from bad luck: “Breaking that mirror didn’t bring me any trouble. Knock on wood.” The phrase may come from old tales about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross.No umbrellas inside…And not just because you’ll hurt someone’s eyes. Open ing an umbrella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck. The origins of this belief vary from a story of an ancient woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house fell to the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months.21. What may bring good luck?A. Dating on Friday the 13th.B. Knocking on wood.C. Opening an umbrella inside.D. Breaking a mirror.22. What should you do to drive bad luck away after breaking a mirror?A. Hide the pieces for seven years.B. Put the pieces in a tombstone.C. Cover the other mirrors in a house.D. Make the pieces into powder.23. Which phrase may originate(起源) from religion?A. Careful with that mirror.B. Knock on wood.C. No umbrellas inside.D. Lucky number seven.BI was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. "Your password has run out," a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase(大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, and thewhole thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.Suddenly I was cross. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. The flashing cursor(光标) was still waiting for me to type a password that I’d have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days.I remembered a tip from my former boss: I’m going to use a password to change my life.I decided to choose a password, which would remind me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote "forgive her" every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and adopt a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month went on, I felt slow healing began to take place. By the time my server reminded me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.24．Accordin g to the author’s company, which code is suitable?A.never2&lateB.1u#LifeC.HEALTHY*keepingD.persist@4Ever 25．Which word can replace the underlined word "cross" in Paragraph 2?A. nervous.B. curious.C. anxious.D. angry.26．Why did the author change his password into Forgive@h3r?A.To make it easier for him to remember.B.To protect his computer against hacker attacks.C.To reduce his frustration of the recent divorce.D.To inform people of the importance of forgiveness.27．What is the best title of the passage?A.How a Password Changed My LifeB.What an Unsuccessful Marriage Taught MeC.Learn the Best Way to Deal with DepressionD.Choose a Suitable Password for Your ComputerCMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterflywill stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat(羊肉，牛肉) and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.28. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similarways D. eat entirely different food29. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The whitebutterfly.B. The small bird.C. Thebear.D. The fox.30. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. the seasonchangesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells31. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietDShake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U．S．The restaurants a re not“fast food”．They are known as“fast casual”．Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat．This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially．In the last quarter of 2014，McDonald’s net income dropped by about $300 million．The January earnings report brought more bad news．Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected．While McDonald’s is struggling to get their customers back，Shake Shack is doing well in making money．The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO，or initialpublic offering，of shares at the end of January．On its first day of trading，Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share．Being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped Shake Shack．Other fast casual restaurants in the U．S．include Chipotle and Panera Bread．Bonnie Riggs，a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’ restaurant habits for almost 30 years．She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’s new．It’s creative，it’s something different and people like to try new things．Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year．Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants，like McDo nald’s．Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits，but it has developed fast．Just as Ms. Riggs says，“It’s growing by leaps and bounds，because they meet consumers’needs．They know it’s being prepared while they wait，it’s fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices．”Many Americans still like their fast food．They just are not going as often．They are finding other ways to have a meal．32．What’s the trouble with McDonald’s？A ．Its share goes down to $21．B．Shake Shack has taken its place．C．It’s not popular with Americans．D．Its sales and income have dropped．33．We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________．A．don’t like fast food any moreB．care only about the qualityC．like to try something newD．pay more restaurant visits to fast casual34．What does the underlined phrase “by leaps and bounds” in Para．3 mean？A．Steadily． B．Rapidly． C．Slowly． D．Normally．35．Which of the following best describes fast casual？A．Fresh-made and tasty．B．High-quality and expensive．C．Farm-to-table and traditional．D．Time-consuming and special．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。

Mr. Setiadi runs his own business, importing machinery from Europe and selling it all over the country. He employs over three hundred people and lives in a very large house in Jakarta, the capital city. However, as he will tell you, he had to travel down a long, hard road to get to where he is today.“I built this business up from nothing through my own hard work,” said Darno. “I come from a poor family and have thirteen brothers and sisters. My dad died when I was fourteen and I had to go out to work to try to support the rest of my family. To begin with, I sold ice cream in the street; then I got a job selling cloth door-to-door. After that, I started traveling all over the island selling things to people and slowly I started getting ideas about what kind of products the different markets wanted.“When I was twenty-one, I left my wife and two children at home and moved to Jakarta to set up my own business, selling all kinds of machines, particularly propellers (螺旋桨) for boats. There are over thirteen thousand islands in Indonesia, so there’s a huge market for that kind of thing. Business was increasing and I could finally afford to bring my family over to join me.“The only real problem I have now is who’s going to take control of the business when I retire. I’d like my son to run it, but he’s not really strong enough to do it! I think perhaps his childhood was too easy, and that has made him a bit too soft to do work like this!”24. What does Darno sell now?A. Cloth.B. Boats.C. Machines.D. Ice cream.25. When Darno was in his early teens, he ______.A. helped with his family businessB. struggled to raise a big familyC. left his family to do businessD. traveled all over the world26. What does Darno worry about now?A. His health problems.B. How to spend his retired life.C. How to keep controlling the market.D. His son’s ability to take over his business.27. Which of the following words can best describe Darno?A. Kind-hearted and easy-going.B. Sharp-eyed and hard-working.C. Open-minded and self-centredD. Well-educated and self-confident.CNext time you hear a funny joke you’d better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says: “We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who’d dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: “You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.”According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I don’t want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate. Laughter comes naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.28. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT_________.A. heart stopB. diaphragm movementC. lung burstD. jaw dislocation29. The underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in Paragraph 2 probably means_______.A. hopelessB. funnyC. painfulD. nervous30. How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?A. About 40.B. About 1,000.C. About 2,000.D. About 2,040.31. What is the author’s attitude towards laughing in the last parag raph?A. Uninterested.B. Disapproving.C. Worried.D. Favorable.DResearchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and send it into space. The researchers say the material cancool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels (板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation (辐射).Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat a nd sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. “It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is to basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun." Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. “In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.”The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂) that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.32.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. living on hot days is no longer a big problem nowB. a new material is developed to cool buildingsC. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofsD. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers33. How does the panel work?A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C. It sends heat away right into space.D. It has a window to let out the heat.34. The new material is especially useful in areas that ________.A. suffer high temperatureB. have poor air qualityC. have plenty of foodD. are short of power35. What can you infer from the passage?A. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.C. People may have problems in using the new material.D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.其次节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018-2019学年度上学期瓦房店市高级中学十月份考试高二英语试卷第I卷（共70分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIf you need to spend time on the road, it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet . Don't suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules , so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital.Follow pedestrian(行人) signals. Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字), stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe, especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red．Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the cr osswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue （发出）a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake.Cross quickly. Once you've followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don't then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道) of traffic. There's no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.21. Who is the text intended for?A. DriversB. CyclistsC. PoliceD. Pedestrians22. What does the underlined word "distracted" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. ConsiderateB. StrangeC. Kind-heartedD. Absent-minded23. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?A. Racing against time with driversB. Following crosswalk signalsC. Crossing the crosswalk areaD. Walking outside six lanes．24. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. R ules for Traffic PoliceB. Tips to Keep Safe on Your FeetC. Things Every Driver Should KnowD. Signals for Both Pedestrians and DriversBThe best bikes for the beginnersWhen it comes to purchasing your first bike, the choice is endless, making it tough to know what to go for. Here are the best buys on the market right now.1. Boardman Cx CompThis is a cross-country bike, and it’s so multifunctional that you can handle any terrain(地势) on it, making it a great choice for those wanting to try various cycling subjects.If you leave on the thick tires it comes with, it can ride on various paths and can even handle some less demanding mountain bike routes. Alternatively, put on thin, smooth tires and treat it as a road bike. It has a basket and comes with Shimano Sora gears (变速器)，which are outstanding for its price.£ 650, Halfords2. Planet X RT-58 v2Planet X is based in Yorkshire, which means you’d probably have to buy this bike without se eing it. But it’s worth it, because this is an excellent machine at a lower price. Planet X is a highly rated manufacturer and this model comes with Shimano Sora gears.£ 585, Planet X3. Specialized Allez E5Specialized is one of the biggest and most popular brands in cycling, and this is its hugely popular primary road bike.

The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a book reviewB. a science reportC. a vehicle advertisementD. a sports maga zineCIn high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I murmured something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students.I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my momentcame. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation —or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.28. Why was the writer called a "brain"?A. She was the most intelligent student.B. She was the head of her small group.C.

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 traffic condition. 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 giv e 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.32. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often causedby .A. road conditionsB. the speed of modern lifeC. the large number of carsD. the behavior of the drivers33.In the writer’s opinion,.A. drivers should show road politeness properly.B. strict traffic rules are badly neededC. unskillful drivers should be punishedD. drivers should av oid traffic jams34. What is the best title of the passage?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic ProblemsC. Bad Manners on the RoadD. Good Drivers and Bad Driver35. According to the writer, a good driver should_______.A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to.C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itD. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel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。

She finished her studies in psychology in 1942. Aftercollege she attended the University of California at Berkeley to continue her studies. Later, she moved to New York City and worked as a reporter and editor for labor union newspapers.In 1947, Betty married Carl Friedan. They had a child, the first of three. When Betty Friedan became pregnant for the second time, she was dismissed from her job at the newspaper. After that she worked as an independent reporter for magazines. But her editors often rejected her attempts to write about subjects outside the traditional interests of women.In 1966, Betty Friedan helped found NOW, the National Organization for Women. She served as its first president. She led campaigns to end unfair treatment of women seeking jobs. She wanted women to take part in social and political change. Betty Friedan led a huge demonstration(游行) in New York City for women’s rights. Demonstrations were also held in other cities.In 1981, Betty Friedan wrote a book called “The Second Stage” about the condition of the women’s movement. Friedan wrote that the time for huge demonstrations and other such events had passed. She urged the movement to try to increase its influence on American political life. Some younger members of the movement criticized her as too conservative.Betty Friedan died on February 4, 2006. She was considered the mother of modern women’s liberation movement. Betty Friedan once told a television reporter how she wanted to be remembered: “She helps make women feel better about being women.”56. According to Paragraph 2, Betty lost her job because .A. she was pregnantB. she got marriedC. her editors didn’t like herD. she was too independent57. Betty led a huge demonstration to .A. fight against the governmentB. fight for women’s rightsC. take part in political lifeD. get support from the government58. The book “The Second Stage” .A. was popular among young women readersB. thought highly of those huge demonstrationsC. was about the condition of the women’s movement thenD. decreased the movement’s influence on American political life59. From the last paragraph, we know that .A. Betty helped women live betterB. Betty wanted to be remembered foreverC. Betty thought it better to be a womanD. the television reporter knew Betty wellBA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for g irls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usu ally like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.60. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.61. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.62. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disinterested.C. Scared.D. Disapproving.63. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Paren ts should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.CNew research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.“Because we’d actually alre ady read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”（体重指数） or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio（比率） of height to weight. Inrecent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. But a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OKjust because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the riskfor heart disease and diabetes（糖尿病）. 64．According to the new findings, the researchers found that __________ .A.People with high obesity have a lower risk of early death than people withlow obesityB.People with overweight have a greater risk of early death than people ofnormal weight.C.People with mild obesity are less likely to die than people of normal weight.D.People with obesity live much longer than people of normal weight.65．Wha t does the underlined word “literature” in paragraph 6 mean ?A. works like novels and poemsB.books and articles on a particular subjectC.printed materialD.magazines and newspapers66. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. BMI is commonly used to measure body fat as a ratio of height to weight.B. Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way to predictthe risk of health problemD. Because of the new findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.DMichael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky.

AWe humans are superstitious(迷信), believing that Friday the 13th is bad luck and finding a penny is good luck. Here, then, are three of the most common superstitions.Careful with that mirrorAccording to folktales, breaking a mirror is sure to bring yourself seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don’t just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led old American Southerners to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, for fear that their soul might be trapped inside.Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, so people have come up with solutions after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or powdering the broken mirror.Knock on wood This phrase is designed to break away from bad luck: “Breakin g that mirror didn’t bring me any trouble. Knock on wood.〞 The phrase may come from old tales about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross.No umbrellas inside…And not just because you’ll hurt someone’s eyes. Opening an umbr ella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck. The origins of this belief vary from a story of an ancient woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house fellto the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months.21. What may bring good luck?A. Dating on Friday the 13th.B. Knocking on wood.C. Opening an umbrella inside.D. Breaking a mirror.22. What should you do to drive bad luck away after breaking a mirror?A. Hide the pieces for seven years.B. Put the pieces in a tombstone.C. Cover the other mirrors in a house.D. Make the pieces into powder.23. Which phrase may originate(起源) from religion?A. Careful with that mirror.B. Knock on wood.C. No umbrellas inside.D. Lucky number seven.BI was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. "Your password has run out," a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code does n’t seem like a big deal unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase(大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, and the whole thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.Suddenly I was cross. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. The flashing cursor(光标) was still waiting for me to type a password that I’d have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days.I remembered a tip from my former boss: I’m going to use a password to change my life.I decided to choose a password, which would remind me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote "forgive her" every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and adopt a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month went on, I felt slow healing began to take place. By the time my server reminded me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.24．According to the author’s company, which code is suitable?D.persist@4EvA.never2&lateB.1u#LifeC.HEALTHY*keepinger25．Which word can replace the underlined word "cross" in Paragraph 2?A. nervous.B. curious.C. anxious.D. angry.26．Why did the author change his password into Forgive@h3r?A.To make it easier for him to remember.B.To protect his computer against hacker attacks.C.To reduce his frustration of the recent divorce.D.To inform people of the importance of forgiveness.27．What is the best title of the passage?A.How a Password Changed My LifeB.What an Unsuccessful Marriage Taught MeC.Learn the Best Way to Deal with DepressionD.Choose a Suitable Password for Your ComputerCMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. Youcan also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterflywill stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat(羊肉，牛肉) and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.28. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food29. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The whitebutterfly.B. The small bird.C. Thebear.D. The fox.30.

We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietDShake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U．S．The restaurants are not“fast food〞．They are known as“fast casual〞．Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat．This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially．In the last quarter of 2014，McDonald’s net income dropped by about $300 million．The January earnings report brought more bad news．Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected．While McDonald’s is struggling to get their customers back，ShakeShack is doing well in making money．The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO，or initial public offering，of shares at the end of January．On its first day of trading，Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share．Being part of the “fast casual 〞trend has helped Shake Shack．Other fast casual restaurants in the U．S．include Chipotle and Panera Bread．Bonnie Riggs，a restaurant exper t with NPD has studied Americans’restaurant habits for almost 30 years．She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’s new．It’s creative，it’s something different and people like to try new things．Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year．Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants，like McDonald’s．Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits，but it has developed fast．Just as Ms. Riggs says，“It’s growing by leaps and bounds，because they meet consumers’needs．They know it’s being prepared while they wait，it’s fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices．〞Many Americans still like their fast food．They just are not going as often．They are finding other ways to have a meal．32．What’s the trouble with McDonald’s？A ．Its share goes down to $21．B．Shake Shack has taken its place．C．It’s not popular with Americans．D．Its sales and income have dropped．33．We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________．A．don’t like fast food any moreB．care only about the qualityC．like to try something newD．pay more restaurant visits to fast casual34．What does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds〞in Para．3 mean？A．Steadily． B．Rapidly． C．Slowly． D．Normally．35．Which of the following best describes fast casual？A．Fresh-made and tasty．B．High-quality and expensive．C．Farm-to-table and traditional．D．Time-consuming and special．第二节 (共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

dying．The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked．The only chance to save her seemed to be a bloodtransfusion from her five-year-old brother．The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies to fight the illness．The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do，and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister．I saw him hesitate for a moment．He took a deep breath and said，"Yes，I'll do it if it can save Lisa．"As the transfusion was going on，the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister．He looked at her and smiled all the time．When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister's face，his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid．He looked up at the doctor and asked，"Will I start to die

column A Look Back in History．In 1958，he retired as a newspaper carrier from the Sherman Herald Democrat．He was 77 years old and had delivered four million copies of the Democrat．He had gone through 17 automobiles and had thrown on average 400 newspapers a day，six days a week．He drove 100 miles a day，including the day he collected．Before he was a newspaper carrier，he was also a teacher and a construction worker．He opened the first motor delivery route in the newspaper's history．Driving a Model T Ford，his route consisted of Pottsboro，Gordonville，Sadler and Southmayd．Before he started in delivery，he solicited（征求） subscriptions（订阅）riding horseback over the county．Mr．Hennen had only one wreck in 30 years．The car spun（疾驶） out of control and flipped on its top．That didn't stop him．A man with a truck used a tow rope to flip the car back over and tied the doors shut，leaving Mr．Hennen to continueon his way．Now that was determination!Mr．Hennen told of the time his headlights went out as he was delivering newspapers．He borrowed a kerosene lantern（煤油灯） from a farmer to light the way and continued his route．What a story!I complain when I have to drive to work when it is snowing，and I

Save TimeWe all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day：you could finally stick to an exercise routine，or spring-clean the house，or write your novel，or learn the guitar and so on．（46）But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．1．Get Out of Bed EarlierIf you normally get up at 7：30 a．m．，try getting up at 7：00 a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much，but it could be time that you use to exercise，to read that book you've been meaning to finish．（47）2．Do the Important Tasks FirstOnce you get to work，get the important ones done first（not the easy ones，or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big，important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．（48）The urgent tasks will still get done，and you won't miss the important ones．3．Reduce InterruptionsIf colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat，or if the phone is constantly ringing，you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time，they also break your concentration．When you've got a big task to focus on，let your calls go to voicemail．（49）Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．4．（50）A few minutes chatting，browsing the web，and so on，can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．When you're working，work．If your concentration is slipping，take a proper break：go and get a glass of water，or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task，try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．A．Stay Focused on Your WorkB．Take Breaks When NecessaryC．If you have an office door，close it．D．If you work like this，you'll usually save time．E．Would you want me to make your day longer？F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．四、完形填空（30）36．（30分）I will never forget that day when I was involved in a serious car accident．I became lame （瘸的） in both legs in my childhood，so I can't（51）without the support of two sticks．Only in my wheelchair can I"walk"，I felt very self-abased（自卑的）and lonely．I still remember the first day at（52）．When I appeared at the door，（53）in the classroom stared at mein（54）．At that
