AOne day this same friend invited me to a party . It was not a real party , it was some kind of informal get-together . Since it was summer time he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me , but there were others I had never met before .It was the most embarrassing party for me when I noticed that everyone was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day , while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party . It was hard to explain my embarrassment to the other guests . When one of them turned around and said “What nice clothes ! What’s the occasion ?” I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment . I did not answer at all . Many times I thought about going home and changing , but I knew that they would notice . It would be even worse for me , because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place . So I wanted to pretend that I was okay .21.

Fish take up little room, are inexpensive to feed, and provide an interesting and colorful display in anyroom.A tank, or an aquarium (养鱼缸), must be chosen carefully. Many new aquarium owners buy too many fish for their tanks. Fish cannot be crowded. Two fish can live comfortably in each gallon of water, only ten fish can live in a five-gallon tank. Can you see why a goldfish would not live long in a tiny （很小的）, round bowl?If too many fish are kept together, they will not have enough oxygen (氧气) or room to swim about freely. They will have more diseases. Also, some kinds of fish cannot be kept together. They will fight and may even kill one another. As your interest in fish grows, the number of fish you have may grow, too. Then you may want to invest in another tank.If you start with a ten-gallon aquarium, what kind of fish would be best? The two major groups of tropical (热带的) fish are those that lay eggs and those that give birth to live young. If you want to raise young fish, guppies (孔雀鱼) would be the best choice because they can produce many babies in a short time.You can buy fish and aquariums in most pet stores. Ask the owner to help you choose the right fish. You can also find many books about tropical fish in the library.28. Keeping fish is a good hobby for the following reasons EXCEPT _____.A. fish are not costly to feedB. fish are nice to look atC. fish reproduce babies quicklyD. fish need little space29. The underlined part “invest in” (in Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.A. buyB. borrowC. makeD. sell30. If nine fish live in three gallons of water, the fish may _____.A. breathe easilyB. swim about freelyC. get illD. not get enough to eat31. What can we know from the passage?A. Very few people are interested in keeping fish.B. The size of your tank decides how many fish you can buy.C. Guppies are a kind of fish that are good at laying eggs.D. You can raise different kinds of fish together.DPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers,bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.32. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.33. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowers.B. They make and sell bread.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.34. What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.35. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, .A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents’ homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2021年高中英语-有答案学年河南省信阳市某校高二(上)第一次月考英语试卷
2020-2021学年河南省信阳市某校高二（上）第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解1.72 Hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let's start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s. The art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily send half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city's most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing, apart from trying the city's best-known Peking duck the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of the places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China's eight great cuisines, Sichuan, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.（1）Which of the following is true about the Mutianyu Great Wall?A.You can paint graffiti anywhere.B.You need a half day to get there.C.It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014.D.It is the most well-preserved part of the Great Wall.（2）When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List? A.In1950. B.In 1987. C.In 1998. D.In 2014.（3）Which place is the author's first choice when visiting Beijing?A.Mutianyu Great Wall.B.Summer Palace.C.798 Art Zone.D.Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.2.Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank（打屁股）the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child's leg. He never did that again. One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.Many parents are not sure what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion（宗教）tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child's level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well.（1）According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to ________.A.strike them on the bottomB.try to help them do the right thingC.teach them what to doD.take them to court（2）Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?A.It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.B.The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.C.Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.D.It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.（3）Which of the following can best describe the writer's attitude towards spanking?A.favorable（赞同的）B.indifferent（不关心）C.interestedD.unfavorable（4）From this passage, we can conclude that ________.A.Good children always do the right thing.B.Parents should try their best to avoid spanking their children.C.Parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong.D.Children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked.3.A short Chinese man seems to be the tallest in the world right now. Jack Ma（Ma Yun）, 50, is executive chairman of a business—to—business online platform. On September 19, his company went public on the New York Stock Exchange, raising $25 billion through an IPO, the biggest in history. Ma, a former English teacher, has become the richest man in China.Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. In 1976, at the age of 12, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he awoke at 5 am, cycled 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists. He did it for nine years, rain or shine. The experience made him a fluent English speaker and also opened his eyes to the wider world.In a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was showed the Internet for the first time. He searched the word "Beer", and found that there was nothing in there about China. Seeing the chance, Ma returned to China and set up a website without even knowing much about computers.Four years later, Ma and his friends founded a company in Hangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential when few other Chinese did. People called him "Crazy Jack Ma". But 15 years later, his company has developed into the world's largest e-commerce company, owning two popular shopping websites. It makes more profit online than two biggest foreign shopping websites combined.No one thinks he's mad now. Ma's favorite line has been printed on the souvenir T-shirts. It reads: "Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes true?"（1）What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Ma is the richest man in China now.B.Ma has grown taller than ever before.C.Ma's company IPO is the biggest in history.D.Ma is executive chairman of an online platform.（2）How did Ma learn English? A.He cycled to learn from his teacher.B.He chatted with foreigners every day.C.He got up early to read English.D.He worked in a hotel near West Lake.（3）How old was Ma when he first used Intent?A.12.B.19.C.23.D.31.（4）Why was Ma called "Crazy Jack Ma"?A.Few Chinese did Internet Business then.B.Ma was crazy about the Internet.C.He made his company a great one.D.He was ever a crazy shopper.4.By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms（海洋微生物）called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. "Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing." she said, "but the type of phytoplankton is changing."And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, "it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive." Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. "It'll be a while before we can statistically show that thechanges are happening because of climate change," Dutkiewicz said, "but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet."（1）What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.（2）What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Sensitive.B.Beneficial.C.Significant.D.Unnoticeable.（3）What can we learn from the passage?A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B.Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.二、七选五阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write.I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s tes t paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.21．The story took place（发生）exactly ____________ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab22．The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____________ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone23．The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____________ .A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam 24．The boy knew everything ____________ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the roomBDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork）and beouf （beef）came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon．The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns. Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!25．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because __________.A. too many French moved to BritainB. French brought animals with themC. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken26．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations．B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar．C. Because a large number of English words have French origins．D. Because English has great influences on the French language．27．What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have nothing in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon.CSince the Internet came into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones won’t reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system.Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones, etc.,so it is obvious that cell phone viruses are a threat as well.Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise（伪装）, such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims(受害人) to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile phones, yet. Thank goodness.28．What is the passage mainly about?A. The operating system of cell phones.B. The threat of cell phone viruses.C. The wide use of cell phones.D. Computer viruses.29．When _____, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.A. all the cell phones work on the same operating systemB. Microsoft operating system for cell phones is createdC. users can see each other on the phonesD. Bluetooth is widely used30．What can we infer about Bluetooth according to the scientists?A. It can increase the chances of cell phone viruses greatly.B. It can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone viruses.C. It won’t possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone viruses.D. It can make users have close physical relation with one another.31．We can learn from the passage that ______.A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phonesB. cell phones are not well connected with the InternetC. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phonesD. more than one operating system is used for cell phones nowDMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree?Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?32．The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to _________.A. ask the readers to answer the questionsB. draw the readers’ attention to the topicC. seek answers to the questionsD. show he is at a loss about the question.33．Which of the following is not an example of animal’s dishonest behaviors?A. A plover pretended to have a broken wing to protect its baby birds.B. A scrub jay dug out its buried food and reburied it somewhere else.C. The adoptive parents feed their baby birds of cuckoos.D. A losing chimp starts fighting again after taking the winner’s hand. 34．The underlined word “sneaky” in paragraph 5 most probably means______.A. selfishB. friendlyC. entertainingD. dishonest35．What is the common reaction of most chimps when they find their favorite food?A.

You will most probably find this passage_____________..A. in a newspaperB. in a guidebookC. on a webpageD. in a magazineBWhen we know somewhere well，we say we “ know it like the back of our hand ”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can’t see them.“It tells us whether a joint is straight .or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain has maps - maps that show the size andshape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo. Strength of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lots of nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may notknow their bodies properly.24, Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A.People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B .People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.C. People were asked to draw their hands from memoryD. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’length.25. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The mistake people made.C. The sizes of fingers and hands.D. The location information.26. We can conclude from the article that_____________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position depends on the interaction between parts of the bodyD. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position27. We can infer from the article that-.A. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrectCHe is a Time Lord who can travel anywhere he wants in time, but still never seems to be happy. He is always very well dressed. He refuses to use guns to kill anybody, preferring to trust his brains.Who could be a better hero for British people? He is the Doctor, hero of the popular BBC TV series Doctor Who, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of its 2005 reboot on March 26.In 2005 the sci-fi TV series returned to British screens after originally running from 1963 until 1989. In the series, the Doctor travels through time in his TARDIS police box，saving Earth and other planets from dangerous aliens and humans.The show looked a little different upon its 2005 return 一the show used to be famous for cheap, ugly special effects but they were gone, replaced by expensive computer effects and attractive young stars. Christopher Eccleston played the Ninth Doctor in 2005, and there have been four more since, including the current Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi.You may wonder why the Doctor has been played by so many people, thirteen in total. This is because every few years, the doctor “regenerates”，which means his character "dies” but comes back to life with a completely new body afterwar ds. As the Radio Times put it：“Who else can cheat death by getting a whole new face?”The show has no limits. The Doctor has already visited the time of Shakespeare, found out the truth about the American moon landing of 1969’ and gone back to the very early days of Earth. He has also traveled forward in time and been to many strange planets. Who knows where he’ll go in the next 10 years? Or if the Doctor will even be a man? Last year, head writer Steven Moffat told BANGShowbiz ii is very possible that a woman will play the Doctor in the future Are you ready for more travels with him or her through time?28. What is the article mainly about?A. The actors who have played the hero in Doctor Who.B. A brief introduction to the BBC TV series Doctor Who.C. What inspired the producers to make Doctor Who.D.What influence Doctor Who has had on other sci-fi TV shows.29. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Doctor in Doctor Who?A. Although he is always well dressed, he is very cruel inside.B. He has gone through 10 “regenerations” in the past decade.C .He is belter at solving problems with his guns than with his brains.D .His mission is to protect Earth and other planets from attack.30. What can we learn about Doctor Who from the article?A. In 2005, BBC producers started a new Doctor Who series after a 42-year break.B. The show looked more fashionable and attractive upon its 2005 return.C. The producers use creative but cheap special effects in the new Doctor Whoseries.D .Doctor Who is quite popular in Britain because it was the first British sci-fishow.31. We can conclude from the second-to-last paragraph that the Doctor Whoseries______.A .is very imaginativeB. seems hard to understandC .involves scientific discoveriesD .is an accurate reflection of human historyDWhen The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said：“Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musicianwas named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a-changin！”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose li ves Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.32. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•A. it brought joy to peopleB. it could be used to express feelings freelyC. it reflected life on a much deeper levelD. it needed more creativity than other types of music33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to thearticle?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His s ongs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.34. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters35. What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. supportiveB. objectiveC. scepticalD. ambiguous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人空白处的最佳选项。

I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap,when the roof just flew off. I was so frightened that I just froze.Mom cried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into a river in seconds. We were going nowhere.At first,I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof,staying inside was too dangerous. We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter, but it was never enough.It was August,so it was really,really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! 1 just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie.He had disappeared the moment the storm hit.Living in the open air,we became breakfast,lunch and dinner for the mosquitoes But Mom said that whatever happens,we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay positive,though.All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us,we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better.I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights,we could see the Big Dipper,and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Despite the disaster, moments like those gave us hope for the future.Although it was only a few days before we were rescued, it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway county. Thankfully, Smartie came home just in time.None of us knew that we wouldn’t be back for quite a while then.Now,one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to return, but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by reminders of the disaster. we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans,their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on.4．When did this hurricane hit the author’s hometown?A．In September.B．In August.C．In July.D．In Summer. 5．What does the underlined sentence “we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitoes”mean?A．We ate mosquitoes as our meals.B．There were too many mosquitoes.C．We were tired of those mosquitoes.D．We were bitten by mosquitoes constantly.6．What can we learn about those families in that area?A．Some families still didn’t return home.B．Most families came back home.C．Few families returned home.D．Only we came back home.7．Who played the most important role in surviving this disaster?A．The author himself.B．The author’s mum.C．Smartie.D．All the people stuck in the disasterNew research has revealed something amazing: it appears that plants can communicate after all.It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant, say a bean plant, gets attacked by insects. The plant releases tiny amounts of chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another bean plant detects the chemicals from its injured neighbour, it starts to release its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract insects—the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plants. Scientists hope tolearn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow crops without pesticides.More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Con and chilli plants do this. They also “listen” to the noises from other plants. A chilli plant can tell if a neighbouring plant is helpful, or unfriendly. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water, indicating drought is arriving.Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. While the Intenet is a worldwide network of computers linked by cables and satellites, the wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (真菌).This fungal network links the roots of different plants to each other. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. For example,some pine trees can send food to smaller pine trees to help them grow. But just like our own Internet, the wood wide web has its own version of “cyber crime”. Plants can steal food from each other, or spread poisons to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Who knows? Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.8．What can we infer from paragraph 2 and 3?A．A bean plant may release its own different chemicals to drive insects away.B．A bean plant can only attract wasps to kill the harmful insects.C．Scientists have learned more about this plant warning system.D．Most plants can make noises and listen to noises.9．What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A．The “wood wide web” is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.B．The “wood wide web” has its own version of “cyber crime”.C．Plants have an amazing system of communication that can nearly cover a forest.D．Scientists will create a “firewall” to protect the wood wide web from attacks. 10．What is the author’s attitude to mastering the secret ways in which plants talk?A．Worried.B．Uninterested.C．Optimistic.D．Pessimistic. 11．What is the best title of this passage?A．The secret language of plantsB．The benefits of plants’ talkingC．How plants communicate with each otherD．How plants communicate with peopleCountries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on variousspace missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases. However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realize how exploring space helps us.Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, are changing our lives.Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realize that our planet’s resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future humans may live on both planets.In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.12．What will the writer go on to say next?A．How to send many more satellites into space.B．When to live on Mars.C．How to use space technologies to make everyday products.D．How to go on exploring space.13．What did help the research and development of different types of new material?A．Space technologies.B．Many weather satellites.C．Excellent astronauts.D．Billions of dollars and lots of time.14．Which one of the following can’t be learnt about according to this passage?A．Scores of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.B．Most people argue that we’d stop wasting time and money exploring space.C．Space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries.D．Human beings may live on both planets someday.15．What does the underlined phrase “In closing” in the last paragraph mean?A．Most importantly.B．In addition.C．To conclude.D．What’s worse.Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house? Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer? These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems. However, in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget. 16Intelligent ControlsToday, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs for our appliances, and remote controls for our TVs and air conditioners. 17 The future home will use integrated sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by itself. You will no longer have to think about turning switches on and off yourself. Your home will also learn your daily routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come on the instant you enter thedoor along with your favourite musie or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already prepared for you. All controls will respond to voice commands, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey.Regular Health ChecksIn addition, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day. Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night. It will also be checking your bodyweight. If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warming to your phone. It will also give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how to sleep better. 18 They can warn you early if there is something abnormal or if you have a critical illness, such as cancer, and potentially save your life.No More DisastersSmart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. For example, if a water pipe starts leaking, or if there is a short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information. 19This smart technology is not a fantasy. 20 In this sense, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today. Nevertheless, it will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology.A．In the future, we will be using advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home.B．Many of these new innovations are already available and being used in some homes.C．These smart homes will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in.D．We can also travel to many places of interest with our family members.E．Robots will lock the door, switch off the TV or computer for us.F．This way you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded or catches fire.G．Smart toilets will be keeping constant track of your health as well.二、完形填空refused, saying that he was 28 with what he had. In 1015, Fan 29 the imperial examination and became-a government official. While he served faithfully in Taizhou, he proposed building a sea wall to protect homes from flooding. He also helped 30 defenses when the country was threatened by war. Then, once the country was at 31 again, he was promoted to a high-level position in the 32 , where he could advise the emperor on government policy.As an 33 to the emperor, Fan then tried to institute govenment reforms. 34 , many conservative bureaucrats opposed him, so Fan was forced to go into exile.While in exile, Fan wrote an essay entitled Memorial to Yueyang Tower. In the essay he wanted to find companions to 35 after the needs of peasants, and not worry about their own personal welfare. Of such a man, Fan said, “When serving 36 a high office at court, he’ll be concerned for the people; if living on distant areas, he’ll be concerned for his king. When serving, he worries; while in 37 , he worries. And when does he 38 himself?

2021-2022学年河南省信阳市浉河区新时代学校高二(上)第一次月考英语试卷(附答案详解)
2021-2022学年河南省信阳市浉河区新时代学校高二（上）第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ATravelling is a very good activity.When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday,you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities.You can breathe fresh air,visit some places of interest,meet different people and make friends with them.If you do so,you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health.As a result,you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you.But sometimes,travelling is not an enjoyable thing.For example,when the bus or car you take has a bad accident,you just sit in and waste your time.What's more,the weather can be changeable.If you are climbing a mountain,it may rain suddenly.You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold.The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury.All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.Therefore,before going on a trip,you must prepare yourself carefully.Firstly,you must have clear information about the weather.Secondly,you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other.Thirdly,you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents.If you do this,you'll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble.1.In the first paragraph,the underlined phrase "are fed up with" means" ______ ".A. are fond ofB. can't doC. are tired ofD. are interested in2.Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage？______A. You may meet with unexpected troubles on a trip.B. You may get ill on a trip.C. You will have to spend a lot of money on a bus or in a car.D. It's necessary for you to know about the weather before you travel.3.In order to have a good holiday,you should ______ .A. be careful enoughB. have a holiday with a good friendC. take an umbrella with youD. be well prepared for your tripBSome people think that all wild animals are very dangerous.Actually,very few of them will attack man if he leaves them alone.If you met a lion or an elephant,suppose,you would run away,but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry.Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food,such as deer and other small animals.If you saw a wild elephant,perhaps you would be frightened.Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them.Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man；some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction.Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones,or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.4.The word "attack" is closest in meaning to ______ .A. hurtB. catchC. hitD. follow5.Lions and tigers will not kill or eat men ______ .A. unless men try to run awayB. if they are too old and too weakC. if they are able to get enough foodD. however men act towards them6.Some wild animals will become very dangerous ______ .A. when they grow oldB. if they are left aloneC. while they are looking for foodD. when their young ones are in danger7.This passage is mainly about ______ .A. how to protect wild animalsB. how animals look for their foodC. how to make friends with wild animalsD. how animals act towards menC3 D printing is becoming more and more popular.We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3 D printers.But can you imagine printing food？Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this.They hope that having a 3 D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it'll be quite easy：you simply have to select a recipe（食谱）and put the raw food 'inks' into the printer.You can also modify（修改）the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it.This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3 D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment.There would be less need for traditional growing,transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.For example,alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae,beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia（a swallowing disorder）.They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However,some people think that a future of 3 D food printing would be a disaster.It could take away many jobs,including those from growing,transporting and packaging food.Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw "food ink".Likewise,traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business.Also,there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food：is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels（凝胶）？What's more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity.It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.8.Which of the following best describes 3 D food printing？______A. Soft and convenient.B. Nutritious and tasty.C. Easy and efficient.D. Slow and popular.9.Why do some think that 3 D food printing would be a disaster？______A. Many people could lose their jobs.B. We could all eat the same food.C. It would affect the people's health.D. Traditional food would disappear.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph？______A. 3 D food printing will replace traditional cooking.B. The future of 3 D food printing is uncertain.C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.D. 3 D food printing would be a failure.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______A. Can 3 D printing create everything？B. 3 D—printing food will be in fashion!C. The disadvantage of 3 D food printing.D. 3 D food "printing"：coming to the kitchen.DThe other day,I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness.He had won some lollies in a prize machine in the local supermarket,so I asked him if he would like to share his prizes with another child.He hesitated（犹豫）for a while because he is a shy little boy,but said yes after I encouraged him a bit.A father and his child passed by us.I went to the father and asked if my son could give his daughter some candies that he had won.The father looked at me in a strange way and was unsure what to say.I explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness.At last,he said it was okay.We went to his daughter,but to my surprise,the little girl wouldn't accept the candies!My son was rather embarrassed by the fact that she wouldn't accept his candies,and then he said to me,"We go to the same school,Mum." And I suddenly remembered I had seen the little girl before in my son's school.When we left the supermarket,I explained to my son that people in the world today are not so open to kindness because their thoughts and opinions have been shaped by the past,and I told him not to be embarrassed. "They may have been unfriendly,but I'm sure we left them moved in some way.And the young girl will remember you as the boy with a kind heart when she meets you at school!" I said and he nodded.12.When the mother asked the boy to share his candies with others,the boy ______ .A. didn't want to do that at firstB. was sure that the little girl wouldn't take themC. went to the little girl happilyD. wanted to keep all the candies13.What did the boy feel when the little girl refused his candies？______A. Angry.B. Disappointed.C. Surprised.D. Embarrassed.14.After reading the passage,we learn that ______ .A. the little girl is very shyB. the little girl's father is very rudeC. the little boy and the little girl are schoolmatesD. the little girl felt sad because she didn't win any candies15.By saying the words in the last paragraph,the writer mainly wants to ______ .A. tell us that it's not good to live in the pastB. make her son understand that his kindness will be rememberedC. tell her son not to be afraid to meet the little girl againD. tell us that people are not friendly today二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）How to Meet New People Sometimes meeting friends can be depressing,especially when you suddenly find yourself in a new city. (1) If you encounter some awkward situations ，this list of suggestions is sure to inspire you.(2)Perhaps the best way to meet new friends is when you're getting outside your comfort zone and doing something new.Getting involved in a new hobby,taking a class that makes you stretch your mind or just making a point to do something different than the usual are all good ways to connect with someone new.Join a Book ClubIf you're into books and authors,there are several great ways to connect with new people.

(4)Revive（恢复）an Old FriendshipIf you are seeking new friends why not try looking at some of your past friendships？(5) Friendships don't always end on negative terms.Sometimes friends just drift apart or begin to have nothing in common.But that can change as each friend's life has changed.A.Do New Things.B.Get out of your comfort zone.C.One of them is by joining a book group.D.Another way to do this is by taking a few exercise courses.E.You can make more new friends by buying some books.F.You can decide if one or two old friendships might be worth starting up again.G.Making new friends can come easy to some people,but to others it might take more work.16.

The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I gotthrough it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She’d respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, whatare bacteria?” It helped us both l earn.Ph.Dr I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D．to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to invigorate my career was goingto have long-term negative impacts on my kids.Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of this worry. I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but Ifeel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. My kids are learningto look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose.Ph.Dw did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D．program?A．It was fruitful but exhausting. B．It was the last thing she would do.C．It was hopeful but challenging. D．It was promising for the whole family.5．Which can best replace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3?A．boost. B．change. C．create. D．choose.6．What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4?A．People are afraid of having cancer. B．Cancer is health enemy No.1.C．Her mother takes her job seriously. D．Anne is proud of her mother.7．What might be the best title of the text?A．Onwards and Upwards B．Double Gains of Mum’s PursuitC．Like Mother Like Daughter D．Generation Gap Narrowed by LoveCIf you live near a park, you’ve probably observed this unique squirrel behav ior. As winter approaches, these creatures begin what looks like preparation for a wide scavenger（觅食）hunt. In great numbers, these squirrels begin to bury nuts! This kind of behavior raises a lot of questions for squirrel enthusiasts—the most pressing being how the squirrels find their nuts again. Eastern gray squirrels, in particular, bury their nuts far and wide. Scientists themselves aren’t even quite sure of everything that goes into this hiding behavior, but they have some ideas.For one, scientists have observed gray squirrels frequently burying and reburying their nuts. The scientists assumed that this behavior was to help always keep a fresh memory of the nuts! locations. However, it’s not only memory that the squirrels need to combat（战斗）in order to find their nuts! The gray squirrel community is rampant(猖獗的)with nut stealing. The squirrels can lose up to 25% of their hidden nuts to such thieves! Luckily, the squirrels have developed some clever methods to protect their nuts. Scientists have observed the squirrels creating false caches（储藏）in order to trick thieves. If the squirrels are worried about thieves, they will also start to hide their nuts in difficult-to-reach places（like under bushes or in muddy areas）.While it might be frustrating for squirrels to lose their carefully hidden nuts, it can be beneficial for other organisms. In particular, it can help the forest itself! A study done at the University of Richmond reports that squirrels fail to recover up to 74% of the nuts they bury. This misplacing of so many acorns (the seeds of oak trees), the study says, is likely responsible for oak forest regeneration. When squirrels misplace these buried acorns, they allow for these seeds to eventually grow into full oak trees! The squirrels’ habit of wide spread caching is also important to the growth of the forest, as it allows the genetic（基因的）information to spread far.What seemed like a harmless scavenger hunt is actually part of an endless complex ecosystem in our forests!8．In what aspect do squirrels puzzle people most?A．The way they search for food. B．The places they hide in winter.C．The location of their hidden food. D．The way they recover hidden nuts9．What can we learn about the gray squirrels?A．They often fight with each other for food.B．They tend to feel more secure in bushy places.C．They are cautious about storing food for winter.D．They survive largely thanks to their team spirit.10．What’s the message conveyed in the third paragraph?A．Squirrels can starve due to lack of food.B．It can be beneficial that squirrels lose their nuts.C．It’s easy to get squirrels’ genetic information.D．Squirrels always misplace their nuts deliberately.11．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Why do squirrels steal nuts?B．How do squirrels survive the winter?C．The secrets behind squirrels’ burying nuts.D．The ecosystem in the forest.DWhich kind of diamond is better for the environment and the world we live in: a diamond from a traditional mine or one made in a laboratory? It seems that everyone would think that man-made diamonds would be better. But wait a minute. Don’t draw your conclusion so quickly.Some recent reports suggest the answer may not be so clear. At the very least, these reports provide evidence of tensions between two different sectors of the diamond industry. Lab-grown diamond companies say they are more moral and cause less harm to the Earth’s environment as they don’t have to dig deep into the earth for diamonds.The traditional diamond sector notes that its businesses help the communities where they operate mines. It says they provide jobs, help build roads and other infrastructure and make investments in conservation. Some companies, such as De Beers, work on both sides. De Beers sells natural and man-made diamonds.In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission(FTC)investigates reports of deceptive, or misleading, advertising. In April, the commission sent warning letters to eight lab-grown diamond companies. One of the FTC’s concerns was the use of the word "eco-friendly", and similar terms, to describe diamonds made in a laboratory. The lab-grown process requires very high temperatures and uses a lot of energy.Trucost is a company that estimates the costs of using natural resources. Asked by the Diamond Producers Association to study the issue, Trucost found the carbon intensity of natural diamonds was lower than lab-grown diamonds. The Trucost report did note that diamond miners should reduce their effect on the environment by using more wind power and sunlight.The Reuters news agency reported that the International Grown Diamond Association did not immediately respond to requests for comments about the story.12. What’s the opinion of traditional diamond companies about their business?A. They refuse lab-grown diamonds.B. They bring benefits to local people.C. They cause less harm to the Earth’s environment.D. They are more moral than lab-grown diamond companies.13. Why were lab-grown diamond companies warned by FTC?A. They sold false diamonds.B. They teased customers.C. They took unfair competition.D. They made false advertisements.14. What did Trucost advise diamond miners to do?A. Use renewable energy.B. Give up mining diamonds.C. Change mining equipment.D. Develop lab-grown diamonds.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Natural Diamond Mining Coming to an End?B. Do Diamond Miners Really Protect the Environment?C. Which Kind of Diamond Is Better for the Environment?D. Why Are Lab-grown Diamonds Environmentally Friendly?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。

Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became.When I felt we were reaching solid ground, I asked my husband to give me an “eternity（永恒）ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance（保证）I thought it would bring.We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweller’ s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweller took my left hand and glanced at my eng agement ring. “May I clean it for you?”he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle（闪耀）like it used to,” Charlie said, as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweller was back. The ring shone like new!On the drive home, I didn’ t take my eye s off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’ t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me.

Rumors, like fake news, can often misinform individuals and lead them to believe false information.In an attempt to settle this problem, the country of Singapore has passed a bill that bans companies and individuals from publishing false information online.This law, known as The Protection From Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill, has causeda public outcry（强烈的抗议）, as the government has been given the power to remove content that it considers inaccurate or against the public’s interest.Since Singapore’ s citizens are part of different racial and religious groups, the government fears that rumors or fake news can increase tensions within an already small country.With the new law coming into effect, Singapo re’s government now has the authority to monitor（监测）news sites, social media platforms, and other databases of information to determine whether the content is falsified or can harm the general public. The government can order for the removal of fake news, and publishers of this information can receive prison time and fines up to one million Singapore dollars!Critics fear that the bill threatens their freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Since national issues and world news are generally discussed on online platforms, many are concerned that this new bill will prevent individuals from talking freely and having healthy conversations.Several companies, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, have offices situated in Singapore, meaning that the new law will affect their company operations. Social media companies in Singapore could face a decline in activity, as users may fear posting their opinions and being punished by the government.Others are concerned that the law does not clearly state what a “false statement” is. Such an ambiguity might allow thegovernment to misuse their power, even though the intention is to curtail the flow of false information and rumors throughout Singapore.This law does give rise to several concerns related to freedom and privacy and it will be interesting to see what Singapore’s government will do to deal with this problem.28. Why are some people against the bill?A. They think the bill can’ t get rid of fake news.B. They belong to different racial and religious groups.C. They think their freedom of speech may be harmed.D. They don ‘ t want to increase tensions in their country.29. What does the government have the right to do under the new law?A. Punish publishers of fake news.B. Monitor telephone conversations.C. Prohibit certain people from going online.D. Fine fake-news makers any amount of money.30. How will the new law affect social media companies in Singapore?A. Their users’ privacy may be disturbed.B. Their income will increase very slowly.C. Their illegal activities will come to light.D. Their social media may become less active.31. What does the underlined word in paragraph 8 probably mean?A. proveB. accelerateC. promoteD. decreaseDExperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. “When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones（荷尔蒙）including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involvedrugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.“Once people smile, they are relaxi ng. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health,” And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone’s heart health.32. Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam’ s opinion?A. Smile has the same effects as laughter.B. Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.C. Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.D. Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.33. What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?A. They can lower our blood pressure.B. They will surely lead to heart diseases.C. They can benefit us when we are in danger.D. They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.34. Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?A. It can make us relax.B. It increases sugar levels.C. It has little bad side effects.D. It can happen for no reason.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart DiseasesB. One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your HeartC. One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress HormonesD. The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles andHeart Diseases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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2021-2022学年河南省信阳市浉河区新时代学校高二（上）第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ATravelling is a very good activity.When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday,you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities.You can breathe fresh air,visit some places of interest,meet different people and make friends with them.If you do so,you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health.As a result,you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you.But sometimes,travelling is not an enjoyable thing.For example,when the bus or car you take has a bad accident,you just sit in and waste your time.What's more,the weather can be changeable.If you are climbing a mountain,it may rain suddenly.You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold.The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury.All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.Therefore,before going on a trip,you must prepare yourself carefully.Firstly,you must have clear information about the weather.Secondly,you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other.Thirdly,you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents.If you do this,you'll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble.1.In the first paragraph,the underlined phrase "are fed up with" means" ______ ".A. are fond ofB. can't doC. are tired ofD. are interested in2.Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage？______A. You may meet with unexpected troubles on a trip.B. You may get ill on a trip.C. You will have to spend a lot of money on a bus or in a car.D. It's necessary for you to know about the weather before you travel.3.In order to have a good holiday,you should ______ .A. be careful enoughB. have a holiday with a good friendC. take an umbrella with youD. be well prepared for your tripBSome people think that all wild animals are very dangerous.Actually,very few of them will attack man if he leaves them alone.If you met a lion or an elephant,suppose,you would run away,but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry.Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food,such as deer and other small animals.If you saw a wild elephant,perhaps you would be frightened.Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them.Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man；some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction.Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones,or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.4.The word "attack" is closest in meaning to ______ .A. hurtB. catchC. hitD. follow5.Lions and tigers will not kill or eat men ______ .A. unless men try to run awayB. if they are too old and too weakC. if they are able to get enough foodD. however men act towards them6.Some wild animals will become very dangerous ______ .A. when they grow oldB. if they are left aloneC. while they are looking for foodD. when their young ones are in danger7.This passage is mainly about ______ .A. how to protect wild animalsB. how animals look for their foodC. how to make friends with wild animalsD. how animals act towards menC3 D printing is becoming more and more popular.We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3 D printers.But can you imagine printing food？Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this.They hope that having a 3 D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it'll be quite easy：you simply have to select a recipe（食谱）and put the raw food 'inks' into the printer.You can also modify（修改）the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it.This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3 D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment.There would be less need for traditional growing,transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.For example,alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae,beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia（a swallowing disorder）.They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However,some people think that a future of 3 D food printing would be a disaster.It could take away many jobs,including those from growing,transporting and packaging food.Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw "food ink".Likewise,traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business.Also,there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food：is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels（凝胶）？What's more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity.It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.8.Which of the following best describes 3 D food printing？______A. Soft and convenient.B. Nutritious and tasty.C. Easy and efficient.D. Slow and popular.9.Why do some think that 3 D food printing would be a disaster？______A. Many people could lose their jobs.B. We could all eat the same food.C. It would affect the people's health.D. Traditional food would disappear.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph？______A. 3 D food printing will replace traditional cooking.B. The future of 3 D food printing is uncertain.C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.D. 3 D food printing would be a failure.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______A. Can 3 D printing create everything？B. 3 D—printing food will be in fashion!C. The disadvantage of 3 D food printing.D. 3 D food "printing"：coming to the kitchen.DThe other day,I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness.He had won some lollies in a prize machine in the local supermarket,so I asked him if he would like to share his prizes with another child.He hesitated（犹豫）for a while because he is a shy little boy,but said yes after I encouraged him a bit.A father and his child passed by us.I went to the father and asked if my son could give his daughter some candies that he had won.The father looked at me in a strange way and was unsure what to say.I explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness.At last,he said it was okay.We went to his daughter,but to my surprise,the little girl wouldn't accept the candies!My son was rather embarrassed by the fact that she wouldn't accept his candies,and then he said to me,"We go to the same school,Mum." And I suddenly remembered I had seen the little girl before in my son's school.When we left the supermarket,I explained to my son that people in the world today are not so open to kindness because their thoughts and opinions have been shaped by the past,and I told him not to be embarrassed. "They may have been unfriendly,but I'm sure we left them moved in some way.And the young girl will remember you as the boy with a kind heart when she meets you at school!" I said and he nodded.12.When the mother asked the boy to share his candies with others,the boy ______ .A. didn't want to do that at firstB. was sure that the little girl wouldn't take themC. went to the little girl happilyD. wanted to keep all the candies13.What did the boy feel when the little girl refused his candies？______A. Angry.B. Disappointed.C. Surprised.D. Embarrassed.14.After reading the passage,we learn that ______ .A. the little girl is very shyB. the little girl's father is very rudeC. the little boy and the little girl are schoolmatesD. the little girl felt sad because she didn't win any candies15.By saying the words in the last paragraph,the writer mainly wants to ______ .A. tell us that it's not good to live in the pastB. make her son understand that his kindness will be rememberedC. tell her son not to be afraid to meet the little girl againD. tell us that people are not friendly today二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）How to Meet New People Sometimes meeting friends can be depressing,especially when you suddenly find yourself in a new city.
