He turned around quickly to see who had called.An old woman was standing at her door.“You boy! Come here this minute.”Slowly the boy 1 onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman's house. When he arrived at her house,she 2 out her hand and wrapped her 3 old fingers around his arm.“Help me inside, boy,” she said. “Help me 4 to my bed.

He saw the sign again, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola. I want my silver pin to 10 to my daughter."Joseph bent his small body over the table and 11 the pencil slowly across the paper.“There's my Bible.(圣经)”The old woman said. “That's for my daughter, too. I want a 12 Christian burial (基督葬礼) with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That's the last - 13 of a poor old woman.”The boy labored over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.“Here.

The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor (幽默感) you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don’t understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”【1】The writer thinks that the best way for you to learn a language is ____.A．writing B．using it C．listening D．learning grammar 【2】What should you do in learning English?A．Be careful not to make any mistake.B．Write as quickly as you can.C．Speak English as much as you can.D．Laugh more often.【3】When people laugh at your mistakes, you should _____．A．not care B．be happy C．feel worried D．be unhappy【4】The story tells us_______.A．only foolish people make mistakesB．few people make mistakesC．people never make mistakesD．there is no one who does not make mistakes【5】The writer of the text has a _______ attitude towards people’s mistakes while using the language.

If I ask you “What is the most important in yourlife ?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly . Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do?A writer has said, “people can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Intern et and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many s ubjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.【1】The Internet can not be used for ______.A．studying B．shopping C．thinking D．playing【2】When the computer was invented, it was ______.A．large and worked quickly1B．small and workedC．large but worked slowly.D．small but worked quickly .【3】The Internet was born in about _____.A．1960B．1970C．1980D．1985【4】Which of the following is true?A．Few students like going into the Internet.B．students use the Internet to make “unreal friends.”C．These “unreal friends” often meet each other.D．Students know the friends on the Internet very well.【5】What does the writer think of the Internet?A．It is wonderful.B．It can make students study harder.C．It is not good for students.D．It is helpful, but we can’t do everything on it.3.Many teenagers(青少年) feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas．It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even st op their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?Your answers are welcome.【1】Many teenagers think that ____ can understand them better.A．friends B．brothers C．sisters D．parents【2】When teenagers have something difficult to tell their parents, they usually____A．stay alone at homeB．fight with their parentsC．discuss it with their friendsD．go to their brothers and sisters for help【3】The sentence (句子) “Your answers are welcome．” means _______．A．You are welcome to discuss the questions with us.B．We have got no idea, so your answers are welcome.C．Your answers are always right.D．You can give us all the right answers.【4】Which of the following is the writer’s attitude(态度)?A．Parents should choose friends for their childrenB．Children should choose everything they likeC．Parents should understand their children betterD．Teenagers should only go to their friends for help【5】Part of the purpose of this passage is to ___.A．give information for the parents to make their own judgment (判断)B．give advice to children who want to choose their friendsC．help parents to find better friends for their childrenD．get some information from many readers4.All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season.People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports,too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time．People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character(性格).

Nothing could be done but to in cold wilderness. It was eight hours later that day broke, andthen of the rescue.It is almost that he could stand(忍受) the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his : “First of all, I up my physical, checked up my conditions and found myself not in mortal danger. As there wasno to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to stop the wound(伤) from . In this way I dozed off(打瞌睡).”His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration adventure that happened last year.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply.

He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.【1】This passage is most likely to be found in _____.A．a travel guide B．a newspaperC．a textbook D．a novel【2】The crocodile attacked Ms Pethrick when she was ______.A．swimming in the river B．standing on the river bankC．watching the crocodile D．fishing in the water【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ms Pethrick?A．Her eyes were badly poked.B．She had eight wounds altogether.C．One of her fingers also got hurt.D．One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg.【4】According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as following EXCEPT ______.A．brave B．diligent C．quick D．humorous4.Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, w ho one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?“To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the 10 strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by fo r the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.【1】What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001?A．Telling stories to strangers.B．Setting up street signs.C．Talking with peopleD．Organizing a speaker’s party.【2】Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?A．They knew Liz and Bill very well.B．They happened to meet the writer of the text.C．They organized the get-together in the city park.D．They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.【3】What will Liz and Bill do in the future?A．Go in for publishingB．Do more television programs.C．Continue what they are doingD．Spend more time reading books.【4】How do they like the idea of writing a book?A．They have decided to wait a year or two.B．They will think about it carefullyC．They agreed immediatelyD．They find it hard to do that.四、其他1.There were a family of nine: the father, the mother, two boys and five girls.

甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.【1】According to the passage, music could make students smarter by________.A．improving their classroom skills and paying attentionB．improving their classroom skills and imaginationC．improving their attention, direction and imaginationD．learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas【2】What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?A．unwilling to turn on B．always lookingC．unwilling to leave D．always playing【3】The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could __________.A．give children self-expression and self-confidenceB．bring to children achievement and successC．give children something to be proud ofD．develop children's self-confidence【4】What's the best title of this passage？A．Music is a must as a course at schoolB．Music builds children's self-confidenceC．Music makes students much smarterD．Learning music and making music2.It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest,I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.【1】The speech was made _______.A．at a welcome meetingB．at the opening of a new school termC．when somebody was leavingD．when they had a new manager【2】How long did Masters worked there?A．37 years B．less than 5 yearsC．about six years D．since he began to work【3】When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had _______to help him.A．many people B．nobodyC．about 37 people D．very few people【4】Bill increased the company's sale _______.A．by 37 per cent every monthB．to the second largest in the areaC．to be the fifth largest in the areaD．five times as much as before3.Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion.A blackout was impossible.On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.【1】This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.A．was the only important American inventorB．received the first American patentC．received more patents than any other AmericanD．was the first American inventor【2】People decided to honor Edison when ________.A．he made the first electric lightB．electric power was 100 yearsC．the country realized electricity's importanceD．he died in 1931【3】The suggested plan was to ________.A．turn off the lights in factories and schoolsB．observe a few minutes of total silenceC．dim all electric lightsD．shut off all electricity for a short time4.The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That’s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage. 【1】The best title for the article is _______.A．When the Computer Is DownB．The Most Frightening WordsC．The Computer of the AirportD．Asking the Computer【2】What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?A．She could sell a ticket.B．She could write out a ticket.C．She could answer the passengers’ questions.D．She could do nothing.【3】Why do you think they had not a backup computer?A．Because it was easy downB．Because it was very expensive.C．Because it was not advanced enough.D．Because it was not as big as the main computer.【4】The last paragraph suggests that _______.A．a modern computer won’t be down.B．computers can take the place of humansC．sometimes a computer may bring suffering to peopleD．there will be great changes in computers二、完形填空I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless.

甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.My mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn’t have a bike with her, she walked next to me.I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier(行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “ Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back, ” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughi ng as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar(车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar. My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everythi ng will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “ What have you done to your face? Vanessa, look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “ I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand—she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “ You did it—deal with it and learn from it. One day, the results will be greater and I won’t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”【1】We can learn from the text that _________.A．Vanes sa fell because she didn’t hold the handlebarB．Vanessa and Mary rode the bike in turnC．Vanessa was blown down by the heavy windD．Vanessa and Mary were both injured【2】In the author’s opinion, her mother _________.A．was always gentle to her B．encouraged her all the timeC．was cold sometimes D．didn’t care about her at all【3】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Vanessa’s mother was strict with her.B．Vanessa understood her mother’s love.C．Vanessa’s mother would leave her.D．Vanessa wasn’t eager for her mom’s hug any more.2.Health, Wellness and the Politics of Food9:00—9:45 a.m. Blue TentPanelists (成员): Jami Bernard, David Kamp, Marion Nestle and Peter Singer.Hosted by Denise Gray, science writer for The New York Times.How does what we eat not only affect our bodies, but also the world?

Why has jogging — running slowly for long distances — become so popular? Most joggers begin because they hear it is a very good exercise. Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight. It can also help them feel better about themselves. Donald Robbins, who is forty two years old and works in an office, began jogging a few years ago because he felt he was too fat. At first he could only run about 100 yards. It took him three months to be able to run a mile. But two years later, he ran in a marathon over twenty six miles. Many joggers, like Donald Robbins, feel that if they can succeed in jogging, they can succeed in other things, and quite often this feeling helps them in their jobs.Should you jog too? If you do, be sure to ask your doctor for advice. Jogging may be too much exercise for you. Does jogging cost much? No, it costs almost nothing. But it is very important to have a good pair of shoes that are made especially for jogging.They protect your feet and legs from the shock of running on the hard surface. How fast should you go? Jog with a friend and talk to each other as you run. If you have difficulty in talking,you're going too fast.How far should you jog? Remember not to go too far too soon. In fact, you should walk, not run, the first few times. Then do some short jogs, but no more than what you can do comfortably. After that, increase your distance a quarter or half a mile every two weeks or so. Maybe in a few years, you can run in a marathon too. 【1】The article is mainly about______.A．jogging as a sport B．jogging as an exerciseC．jogging in a safe way D．jogging as a way to the marathon【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．Jogging should be done in the early morning.B．Many people think that jogging needs one's will power.C．Jogging is time consuming.D．You should not talk while jogging.【3】Which piece of advice is NOT mentioned in the article?A．Have a good pair of shoes.B．Have a sports suit.C．Remember not to go too far too soon at the beginning.D．Ask your doctor for advice.【4】Why is jogging so popular according to the passage?A．It doesn't cost much.B．One can start jogging at any time and in any place.C．It is a very good exercise.D．One can talk with one's friend while jogging.4.Many of us have become so reliant(依赖的) on our smartphones that we use them to carry out unbelievable 221 tasks every day.A study of 2,000 smartphone owners shows that the average user reaches for their phone at 7:31 am each morning, to check personal emails and Facebook. And before they’ve even got out of bed, most of them check the weather, read the news, and send a text or two to friends. It also appeared that people will check the train times, do their banking and update what they want early in the day.In an average week, the research discovered that users pick up their phone more than 1,500 times to complete different tasks from emails to playing games and posting to social media. And the average smartphone user is on their phone for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. This amounts to almost one full day a week using their phone, so it’s no wonder almost four in ten us ers admitted feeling lost without their tool.Many owners also admitted to finding themselves using their phone without realizing they’re doing so, with two thirds saying they have managed to log in(登录) and browse(浏览) Facebook without thinking. And surprisingly, four in ten said they have, at one time or another, checked their emails automatically(自动的) without thinking.

Sleep has a great effect on your feelings. After a sleepless night, you may be easier to get angry. After a good sleep, you will feel much better. Humans don’t work well when they sleep badly.【1】.【2】. According to a recent study, people who spend 30 minutes a day outdoors report a big increase in their sense of joy and energy.【3】. Optimism is a state which is closely connected with happiness. If you are a person who is looking forward to a life “half-full” rather than “half-empty”, you will have a better chance of getting more life satisfaction and enjoyment, more satisfying work and marriage, better health and longer life.Enjoy good food. Doctors advise you to ask yourself: “What am I hungry for?” Th en really listen to your body. 【4】, and it tastes great, too. It’s amazing how much junk food is eaten simply because we think we don’t have the time to eat well. Nourish your body. It will thank you.Laugh. Find time every day for a little bit of laughter.

It is celebrated(庆祝)in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother’s day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts(礼物)of love to their mothers.Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨)， while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia(费城） on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪恶轰炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever. 【1】Mother’s Day .A．is a holiday for mothersB．is celebrated in the United Stated onlyC．falls on May 10 every yearD．was given by Miss Anna Jarvis【2】What was the date of the Mother’s Day in 1999?A．May 7.B．May 8.C．May 9.D．May 10【3】On Mother’s Day, people .A．send some flowers to their mothers.B．wear a pink or red rose or carnationC．wear a white flowerD．send gifts of love to their mothers【4】the underlined word “invaluable” means “”.A．美好的B．无价的C．永恒的D．无私的【5】Maybe you’ve known the criminal bombing, which of the following ideas do you agree to?A．Shao Yunhuan is a heroic mother.B．A Chinese mother is the same as an American mother.C．The bombing cannot get away with the crime (难逃罪责).D．All of the above2.What’s the difference between the British Isles, Britain, the United Kingdom and England?The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).England is the largest, most populous (人口众多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不满的), and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(国会). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠诚于) to the Crown(英国王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.【1】Which is the largest in area?A．The British Iles B．Great BritainC．England D．The United Kingdom【2】 Which is the largest island of the British Isles?.A．Ireland B．BritainC．England D．Northern Ireland【3】The United Kingdom is mainly made up of .A．3 parts: Scotland, Wales, and EnglandB．4 parts: Scotland, Wales, England and IrelandC．2 parts: the whole of Britain and IrelandD．2 parts: the whole of Britain and Northern Ireland【4】 Strictly speaking(严格地说), which is wrong?A．“English” refers(指) to people of England.B．“The Scots” refers to people of Scotland.C．“England” refers to all the people to the UK.D．Only one-sixth of Ireland belongs to the UK.【5】Who will be happy if we use “England” when we mean Britain?A．The British B．People of EnglandC．People of the Republic of Ireland D．The welsh四、单词拼写单词拼写（注意用正确形式填空）(每空1分，共10分）【1】Her music is very popular with ______(青少年).【2】We _______(逐渐）get used to getting up early in the morning and going to bed late at night.【3】Can you tell me the _________(用法）of the word “command”?【4】Tom told me that he couldn’t speak Chinese _______(流利）.【5】The little boy is just starting to talk.

甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.There have been times in my life when I felt satisfied.Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test.However,every time I feel that way,I learn again that full isn't full.When I was a little boy,I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad,and the love they had for me,just filled me up.Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended（扩大影响）that love to my grandparents,my uncle &aunt,cousins,etc.As I grew older,I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love.I could not imagine there would be any more room.Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family.Again,I had room to love and be loved.See what I mean?Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get,they get better.There is a lesson here for us.We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding.To do more,love more, live more,learn more,overcome more,forgive more and the list could go on.Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who have proved the impossible to be possible.Every day we stand at the crossroad and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday.You are not full yet.Young or old,there is still room for more.【1】What does the underlined sentence mean?A．I can do it in a better way.B．These difficulties are really too hard.C．Something disappointing always happens.D．There always seems to be a little more room.【2】According to Para.2,what did the author mistakenly believe at first?A．His room was not big enough.B．He would only have one child.C．Caring for families was not his strength.D．Getting married would be his final happiness.【3】This text is most probably taken from a________.A．TV guide B．news reportC．life magazine D．job advertisement2.Many Years ago three soldiers,hungry and tired of battle,came upon a small village.The villagers,suffering a bad harvest and the many years of war,quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three in the village square, shaking their heads and sighing,"Well,we are starving."The soldiers communicated with each other quietly and then the first soldier turned to the villagers.“Your poor fields have left you nothing to share,so we will share what little we have: the secret of making soup from stones.”Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was built to the village's greatest pot,and then the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones.“Now this will be a fine soup,”said the second soldier,"but a handful of salt and some parsley（香芹）would make it wonderful!"Up jumped a villager,cryi ng “What a piece of luck!I've just remembered where some has been left!”And off she ran,returning with parsley.As the pot was boiling,the memory of the villagers improved: soon carrots,beef and cream had found their way into the great pot.They ate and danced and sang well into the night, thrilled about the feast and their new-found friends.In the morning the three soldiers awoke,finding all the villagers standing before them.At their feet lay a bag of the village's best bread and cheese.“You have given us the greatest gift,”said an elder,“and we shall never forget.”The third soldier turned to the crowd,and said,“There is no secret,but this is certain: people working together can accomplish great things.”At last the light dawned on villagers.Off the soldiers wandered,down the road.【1】The villagers hid food at first mainly because______.A．they didn't want to share their little foodB．they had a poor harvest that yearC．they had nothing to eat at allD．they were sick of soldiers【2】What does the underlined word “intrigued” probably mean?A．Unwilling.B．Satisfied.C．Interested.D．Generous.【3】What can we learn from the text?A．The stones used to make the soup were magical.B．The villagers were grateful to the soldiers at last.C．The villagers provided nothing other than the soup.D．The stone soup didn't agree with most of the villagers.【4】What’s the secret of making stone soup?A．To be patient.B．To share.C．To be honest.D．To forgive.3.Our brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the weekfor any given date in 40,000 years,but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once,but they cannot read or write.ngdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment（损伤）,such as in autism（孤独症，自闭症）or retardation.Atthe same time,the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills,which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics,or having a photographic memory. One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush,an American doctor.His patient,Thomas Fuller,was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years,17 days,and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability,he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s.Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words,but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man,made in 1988 and available on video cassette,Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise,with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly. Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain.The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.B．Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C．The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D．The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.【2】Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A．He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B．He can guess out exactly the length of a mads life.C．He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D．He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.【3】What can you infer from the passage?A．Idiot savants have real talents for art and math.B．Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C．Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.D．Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.二、其他Reading books is one of the best hobbies.It not only helps you pass your time but also helps you increase your knowledge in a meaningful manner.【1】Here we will give you a few tips that can help you.●Fall into the habit of borrowing books to read.This is a very old school practice but still it can be highly effective（有效的）.When you borrow a book,there is obviously a deadline（期限）set.【2】●Read everyw here.Keep a book in your bag and read it anywhere you go.This will help you to pass your time in a very productive manner.【3】Anyway,you can read your book 24 hours a day.●【4】This can easily be described as a new school technique.You can read out to your brother or sister and this will enable you to finish your book as well as well as increase the knowledge and understanding of your brother or sister.●Choose your books very carefully.【5】Thus choose your books very carefully in order to enjoy your time and also finish your book effectively.If you choose a good book that can keep you interested a for a longer period of time,there is no way that you are going to leave it incomplete.A．Read out to someone else.B．Realize the importance of reading books.C．Therefore,it is necessary to develop the reading habit.D．Find an excuse to read every day just by visiting book clubs.E.Yes,life is too short to read a book that doesn't impress you.F.It doesn't matter whether you are traveling or are about to sleep.G.This can encourage you to read it often to finish the book on time.三、完形填空If you have a watch,don't repair it!I know it____.Once I had a beautiful watch.And this watch____perfect time. But one night it happened that I forgot to____it up.Next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to____by the exact time.The watchmaker examined my watch and said:“The regulator（校准器）is to be pushed up____your watch is four minutes____.”I tried to stop him,tried to____him understand that my watch kept perfect time,but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.My beautiful watch began to gain time.It____faster and faster day by day.By the end of the second month it____all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.What did I have to do?To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated.I expected him to regulate the watch immediately____he asked me to come in a week's time.When at last I took my watch from him it beganto____down.

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling." www.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.36．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase ―the apple of their eye‖A. A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B. A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C. A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D. A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.37．Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?A. He was very lazy.B. He thought the mother had picked him up.C. He forgot to pick him up.D. He was too tired to do it.38．What can we learn from this passage?A. Be careful in everything you do.B. Love is the most important thing.C. Learn to forgive others.D. Everyone can make mistakes.39．What do you think of the husband?A. Warm-hearted.B. Careful.C. Hard-working.D. Broad-minded.BIf you don’t use a dictionary. What should you do instead? The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means. Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you can’t work out the meaning exactly, you may be able to get a vague idea, enough to enable you to continue reading.Sometimes It is impossible to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is important enough to make it worthwhile stopping and looking it up in a dictionary or whether you can just pass it by.Many times in your reading, you will come across words which you don’t know, but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text. You can made your dictionary use much more efficient if you only look up the words which are necessary to understand the text. and this means that you must develop the skill to decide whether the words are worth looking up.40．The passage mainly tells us in our reading what we would do . A．without knowledge of EnglishB．when we look up words in a dictionaryC．when we are guessing new wordsD．without using a dictionary41．What does the underlined word ―vague‖ mea n?A．Mysterious. B．Not clear. C．Exact. D．Important. 42．In our reading some words we don’t know.A．help us to understand the text wellB．don’t prevent us from understanding the main points of the textC．will be remembered foreverD．are borrowed from other languages43．In this passage the writer .A．advised us to use the dictionary as much as possibleB．told us not to be discouraged by the sight of a dictionaryC．gave us some advice on how to deal with these unknown words D．introduced some ways to take notes in the course of readingCLooking out of the window, my son saw a tree whose branches were strongly swaying back and forth. ―How does the tree move its branches like that?‖ He asked.Without rising from my chair, nor looking up from my book, I started to answer, ―The tree is not moving the branches, son. The wind is…‖ But before the words were out, I caught myself. Instead I rose from my chair and moved to the window to join my son. I looked at the tree. From inside our room, from behind the window, I could neither feel nor hear the wind. I saw instead a tree with its branches silently moving and thought to myself, from inside this room, how could I possibly be sure that the branches were moving because of the wind rath er than from the tree’s own willing?As I stood there with my son watching the tree, I became struck by the movement of the branches, the shimmer of the leaves. My mind quieted and I became less suremyself of what was causing the branches to move. Was it the wind, or was it some expressive, independent movement of the tree? ―I see what you mean,‖ I said to my son. ―The movement of the tree is very beautiful.‖―Do you think the tree is dancing?‖ asked my son. ―Why would it be dancing?‖ I asked. ―Maybe it is happy because the sun is shining,‖ he said. ―Perhaps,‖ I said. ―Or because it’s spring,‖ he added, ―and it’s not cold any more.‖ ―Perhaps,‖ I said.As we continued to watch the tree together, I, too, began to appreciate the dance of the tree. I enjoyed the movement and sway of the branches, seeing little nuances(微妙之处) that I hadn’t noticed before. There seemed to be a rhythm to the movement, first strong and forceful, then light and gentle, then more vigorous, sometimes nearly violent.―Are trees alive?‖ my son asked. ―Yes, they are alive. Why do you ask?‖ ―Because this tree looks happy,‖ he answered. ―Can a tree be happy or sad?‖ ―What do you mean?‖ I asked.―In the winter, trees seem sad,‖ he said. ―Their branches hang down, and they look cold and lonely. But now with the leaves on the tree and the sun shining and the birds flying, it looks happy.‖44．What is the meaning of the underlined word ―caught‖ in Para 2?A. stoppedB. graspedC. seizedD. held45．What on earth caused the tree to move?A. The tree itself felt happy and was dancing.B. The tree was too sad to sway as if to get rid of all trouble.C. It was the warm spring.D. The wind did so.46．What do you think of the boy?A. Naughty.B. Imaginative.C. Clever.D. Foolish.DAn 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon.Tom Erickson was credited with（因…而受赞扬）saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek（小河）Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting relatives from Anchor Point when he fell into Mill Creek.The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger.The creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident.Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood’s Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park.As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before.―I wasn’t sure I could do it,‖ Erickson said. ―I didn’t know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me.‖This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water.47．Young Jason Pryor lives at .A．Anchor Point B．Chillicothe, Ohio C．Mill Creek D．Brentwood 48．Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?A．Life-saving instruction helped a lot in the incident.B．Jaso n’s parents saw him fall into the creek but couldn’t help.C．The creek flowed fast because it was very straight without any bends.D．Erickson was not sure if he could save the boy when jumping into the creek. 49．What’s the possible meaning of the underlined sentence ―The Pryor boy had no businessplaying near the edge of the river,‖ in the third paragraph?A．The accident was none of the boy’s business.B．The boy had no friends to play with him.C．The boy shouldn’t have played near the creek.D．The boy was very busy and had no time to play.50．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Did You Know the Danger of WaterB．Be Responsible ParentsC．The Fast Running Mill CreekD．Beginning Swimmer Saved Drowning Boy第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下面A-G选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
