月月考英语试题
一、阅读理解
Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own at last. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.
When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more, likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skill set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting and confident person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just listening to other people. An educated person doesn’t gossip, have a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed that way people get around our great city,” Johnson told The Guardian.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. Wherever you want to go in the city, riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice. And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work plan allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax (税). This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide showers in the workplaces for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you ride a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”
4．What’s the writer’s purpose by listing numbers in the first paragraph?
A．To compare bikes with other vehicles.

A．London’s Cycle to Work project.
B．London’s public bike-sharing system.
C．Cycling as a healthy way of life in London.
D．Reasons for cycling’s popularity in London.
If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer
to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).
8．The oh-ohs are thought as the “face-down generation” because __________________.
A．they spend too much time on their phones B．they don’t focus on studies in school
C．they are interested in younger friends D．they are more creative than their parents 9．What do “helicopter parents” do for their children?
A．They help them to face the challenges.B．They do the homework instead of them.
C．They guide and plan everything for them.D．They keep them away from after-school activities.
10．What is the writer’s attitude towards the oh-ohs?
A．Hopeless.B．Positive.C．Negative.D．Anxious. 11．What does the passage tell us?
A．Parents should put down their phones.B．Young people should be better educated.
C．The community should care about teenagers.D．The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.
A new study found that the most well-liked students among their classmates are those who studied well and were helpful and kind. On the other hand, the classmates they considered the most popular were sometimes seen as mean and aggressive (好斗的). The study can provide information for educators who want to understand their students’ experiences and learn how to encourage positive behavior.
For the study, Nicole Brass worked with colleagues at the University of Michigan and surveyed more than 500 middle school students. The students were asked who they thought were the most well-liked among their classmates and who they thought were the most popular. And they were also asked what behavior made their classmates well-liked or popular. About half of the students were together as classmates at the same school since kindergarten (幼儿园), while the other half attended a new middle school elsewhere after kindergarten. The two groups of students
liked the same type of classmates. “The kids that the two groups say they like a lot are those who try hard at school and are always nice,” Brass says.
However, when it came to the kids considered as popular, there was a huge difference between the two groups. Those students who had been together since kindergarten reported the most popular students were also kind and helpful, while the students who attended a new middle school reported the most popular students tended to be mean and aggressive. This suggests that behavior that is not positive can result in popularity in the short term before students get to know one another well.
“We often think about how friends matter a lot, but there are other factors affecting popularity. We want to discover some of these influences for anybody who works with middle school students,” Brass says. The role social media plays in who is popular and who is well-liked among middle school students was not evaluated in the recent research, but it’s an area that Brass hopes to study in the future. She believes this area has been very important in the pandemic. 12．How was the study carried out?
A．By surveying the behaviors of pupils.B．By collecting teachers’ opinions of students.
C．By interviewing different groups of students.D．By observing students’ behavior in a classroom.
13．What does the result of the study tell us?
A．Kind and helpful students are less welcome among old classmates.
B．Kind and helpful students can influence mean and aggressive students.
C．Mean and aggressive students easily win popularity among new students.
D．Mean and aggressive students have never been popular since kindergarten.
14．Which group might benefit greatly from the study?
A．Parents.B．Doctors.C．Scientists.D．Teachers. 15．What does the underlined phrase “this area” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The practical use of the result of the new study.
B．The role social media plays in students’ popularity.
C．The effect of students’ behavior on their popularity.
D．The influences for whoever works with middle school students.
Every time we move to a new place, we’re faced with the challenge of making new friends. Connecting with a community is important to your sense of belonging, but it may take three to six months to finally make new friends, or even longer. 16 .
Get the word out
Tell your friends, family and co-workers that you’re moving and looking to meet new people. Make sure to communicate what kind of connections you’re looking for, like someone to show you around town. Use this time to do some research. Look up if your favourite coffee shop has branches in your new neighborhood. 17 . These groups, like volunteer organizations, can offer you a sense of familiarity.
Add more routine (惯例) to your day
Setting time aside for activities, communities or places you love can help you feel more at home. Do you go on a run every morning? Try running at the same park for a week. Or go back to that restaurant around the block at least once a month. 18 . By doing the same things, you’re seeing the same faces and you will become less shy to ask a question because you see them all the time.
Explore interest groups
19 . Nowadays, you can find most of them online — for food, sports, or religion, just to name a few. You could also use your move as an opportunity to try things that you’ve been eager to try for years. That way, you feel connected to the city with the good memory of you excitedly exploring something new.
20
You don’t have to push yourself to make friends within weeks. Try to focus on being connected in the moment. When you’re new in town, you may feel shy or even frightened to share your true self. But you’ll find your people more quickly if you devote yourself into the things that you are interested. Laying that up is one way to really attract people with same interests, and soon you will find yourself connected.
A．Reconnect with old friends
B．Focus on the connection, not the friendship
C．And here are some tips on making friends anywhere we go.
D．You can also be more intentional about making new connections.
E．There’s also a good chance you’ll find similar community groups.
F．Group settings like interest are also helpful for meeting new people.
G．These acts seem small, but are of great importance in making connections.
