一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it was brought about weary complaints over the past few months. On July 1st, the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and put it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure that rules are obeyed and to examine the nature of one's rubbish.Violators could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain hank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai authorities are responding to obvious environmental problem. It produces 9 million tons of garbage a year. But like other cities in china, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to pick out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of one-off chopsticks a year.Many citizens appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous(有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss(投掷)it by hand, Most annoying are the short periods for throwing trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.(1)What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To complain about rubbish dividing.B. To explain the four categories of the waste.C. To introduce the rules on waste sorting.D. To show the goal of rubbish, sorting regulations.(2)What does the underlined word "Violators" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People who don't pay for train tickets.B. People who argue with the monitors.C. People who obtain bank loans.D. People who are against the regulations.(3)What makes the citizens upset most about the rules?A. Complex distinction among the four categories of rubbish.B. Short scheduled time for tossing rubbish.C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.(4)What can be the best title for the text?A. A Restart of Waste-sortingB. A New Age of Garbage ClassificationC. Learning to Classify RubbishD. Rubbish-sorting Benefits the World【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了7月1日上海市出台的垃圾分类规定,有望成为我国的一个典范。

What do we know about Simon’s Workshop?A. It requires membership status.B. It lasts three hours each time.C. It is run by a comedy club.D. It is held every Wednesday.BFive years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionallycreative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistantin class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really—at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”4. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design5. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.6. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.7. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.10. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight —among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.12.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.13. This text is mainly the relationship between _________.A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fastfood and overweight14. The text is mainly developed __________.A. by contrastB. by spaceC. by processD. by classification15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A TV interview B. A foodadvertisement C. A health report D. A book review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。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AMy mother has a dining table which sits right in the middle of her dining room. It was once buried beneath piles of papers—magazines, articles, copies of schedules for vacations she took back in the 1990s, and baby pictures of grand children who are now paying off their college loans.My brother Ross and I recently flew to New York to visit my mother. “Mom, why don’t we go through all that stuff?” Ross said. “No. Don’t touch it!” My mother said. The next afternoon, when she couldn’t find a bill she needed, Ross suggested it might be put somewhere in the dining room and that we find it together. “Besides,” he said, “all those papers are clearly stressing you out.” However, my mother just said, “Are you boys hungry?” And then she seemed to have lost herself in deep thought.On our last night there, my mother walked up to us with a small pile of unopened mails, which she had collected at the western edge of the dining table, and said, “Help me go through these.” “Sure,” I said. When we had succeeded in separating wheat from chaff (谷壳), I asked, “Would you want to deal with another little pile of papers?”My mother led the way, walking into the dining room the way an animal manager might be while entering a cage with tigers in it. Ross and I came in behind her and suddenly he reached for a pile of the papers on one side of the table. “No!” my mother said sharply. “Let’s start at the other end. That’s where the older stuff is.” Finally, we threw 95 percent of the stuff into paper shopping bags. Then I asked what she wanted us to do with them, she surprised us all by saying, “Put them in the incinerator (垃圾焚化炉).”When I returned home, inspired by the visit to my mother, I sorted out my own accumulated(累积的) piles of papers, sold or gave away half of my possessions, and moved into asmaller house. It seems that my life has been cheaper and easier since then. And it proves that a small change does make a big difference.1. What did the mother ask her children to do with these unopened mails?A.

AI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Chr istmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.1.

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first "convertible" on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden."Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, " said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.(1)What is the text mainly about?A.

It is celebrated in memory of a Chinese patriotic(爱国的) poet named Qu Yuan. Both children and adults like this holiday.On the Dragon Boat Festival, first, there are dragon boat races. Dragon boats are very long. They are painted in bright colors. In each boat, there are many people rowing(划船). There is also somebody beating a drum(鼓). To win the race, a person in the boat must grab(夺取) the flag at the finish line. The winners of the races get big trophies(奖品) and money.Races take place all over China. For example, there are races in rivers and streams in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Many people go to these places to watch the races.

The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together.

A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet to oth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”There is also something about the smell of home cooking.

An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the stationmaster,”Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.At last---she never knew how long it had taken her---she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost. She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the stationmaster was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh,please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.The stationmaster went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.9.What did Kate decide to do?A.Visit the stationmaster.B. Check the signal light.C Meet the passengers. D. Stop the express train.10.Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey?A.Fruitless.B. Risky.C. Well--planned.D. Boring.11.Why did the stationmaster turn pale?A.He suddenly fell ill.B. He realized the danger.C He discovered his mistake. D. He became overexcited.DHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at the nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.12.Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually __________.A.an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC.an expression of angerD. a way of greeting13.What is a bird’s “territory”?A.A place where families of other species are not accepted.B.A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C.An area for which birds fight against each other.D.An area which a bird considers to be its own.14.Why do birds keep on singing at the nesting season?A.Because they want to invite more friends.B.Because their singing helps to frighten outsiders away.C.Because they want to find outsiders around.D.Because their singing helps to get rid of their fears.15.How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A.By comparing birds with human beings.B.By reporting experiment results.C.By describing birds’ daily life.D.By telling a bird’s story.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。

集宁一中西校区高三年级第一学期期中考试英语试题命题人:袁娜审核人:李娟本试卷满分为120分,考试时间为100分钟第I卷(选择题共70分)第一部分:阅读理解(共二节,满分40分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A B C 和D)中,选出最佳选项。
(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AOn your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.Active transport benefits* It’s a convenient and practical way to incorporate (并入) regular exercise into your day.* Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.* The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.* It provides an opportunity to socialize with people in your local community.* Cycling provides commuters (通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transportservices. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.Taking your bike on the trainYou can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:* 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. towards the CBD (Central Business District);* 3 p.m.-6:30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;* at any time during weekends and public holidays.Note: You can travel in the opposite direction during the specified peak times above.To avoid travelling during peak times, you must complete your morning journey by 7 a.m. towards the CBD and afternoon journey by 3 p.m. outwards from the CBD.During peak hours, bikes cannot be brought through Fortitude Valley, Central or Roma Street stations. If you travel with a bike during peak times, you may be asked to leave the train until peak time ends.Bike storage facilitiesBike facilities offer greater flexibility as you can cycle to a station and securely park your bike before continuing your journey on public transport. Queensland Rail and the City of Gold Coast also offer a number of bicycle storage facilities across our network. You can book a bike locker by emailing us at bikelockerqueries@ translink. com. au.1.What is mentioned about cycling in the text?A.It is environmentally-friendly.B.It is convenient to get around.C.It is helpful to reduce your weight.D.It is much faster than walking.2.When can you take your bike on the train through Roma Street station?A.7 a.m. on Christmas.B.3 p.m. towards CBD.C.6 p.m. during weekends.D.4 p.m. outwards from CBD.3.Where can we probably find the text?A.A guide book.B.A health journal.C.A sports magazine.D.A Travel website.BNobody likes to fail.It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged.What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset(心态)of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace(拥抱)failure instead of avoiding it at all costs?Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset -'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'-helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.4. What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A. The great courage to face it.B. The efforts made to handle it.C. Unexpected benefits it brings.D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.5. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Bring up the main topic.B. List the challenges in our life.C. Add some background information.D. Stress the importance of the mindset6. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A. The causes of children's anxiety.B. Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C. The consequences of overprotecting children.D. Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.7. Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?①Praise kids' every achievement.②Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③Focus on the process of kids' effort④Expand kids' knowledge about the world.⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts.A.①②④B.②③④C.②③⑤D.①③⑤CNew App Helps People Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue,but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition,potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody," says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer,the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media.At the event,the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face,the app identifies the individual,displays the person's name,and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions,however,that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you."The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness," a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met.To use this app,a person first acquires an image of someone's face,from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph,and then tags it with a name.When the camera spots that same face in real life,the previously entered information is displayed.The collected data are stored only on a user's phone,according to the team behind the app.8.SocialRecall is used to ______.A. take photosB. identify peopleC. organize eventsD. make friends9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______.A. how the app worksB. how the app was createdC. what makes the app popularD. what people can do with the app10. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ______.A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphonesB. collecting information previously entered in the phoneC. providing the information of a person when they first meetD. showing the person's information when it spots a stored face11. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage? ______A.It may put people's privacy at risk.B. It has caused unintended consequences.C. It can prevent some communication disorders.D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.DGOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true?Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany,thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational (职业的)training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness(认真)and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice-once towards the end of each volunteer's time at school, and thenagain six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.When it came to the second round of tests, Dr.Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either-except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people's choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.12.Which of the following can best replace "beckoned for" in Paragraph 2?______A. Examined.B. Attracted.C. Organized.D. Recognized.13. What can we learn from the research?______A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities.B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience.C. Working straight after school narrows people's minds.D. College students pride themselves on their education.14. According to the last two paragraphs,______ .A. college students enjoy a very good public imageB. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitudeC. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasksD. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training15. What is the author's attitude towards the finding?______A. Concerned.B. Optimistic.C. Unclear.D. Sceptical.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。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1.Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need."My work is done." Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. ________ One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed. But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends are needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. ________Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. ________ When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to generation from the Eastman Kodak Company.________ Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take unnatural pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn't afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity's moment.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,由于在财务、技术和竞争方面管理不善。

内蒙古集宁一中(西校区)2018-2019学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题(附答案)
集宁一中2018---2019学年度第一学期No1月考高二年级英语试题试卷分I卷(选择题)和П卷(非选择题)俩部分,满分120分。
第I 卷第一节阅读理解(每小题2分,满分30分)ADuring my first day at senior high school,I met my new teacher.She looked at me and said,“I am happy to have an international student in my class.” I was very excited.One day,I came to the class about three minutes late,and she told me to write my name on a piece of paper and,beside it,the word “late”.In that way she could know I was late for the first time.At first,I was embarrassed and angry.Then I did not complain because she taught me an important lesson:time is very valuable(珍贵的).I learned another important lesson during one of my classes—the day of the first exam.After I finished my exam,I did not review my answers because it was the end of the exam time.One week later,she returned my exam paper.I found that one of my answers was wrong.Even though the only choices were A,B and C,I chose D instead of C.I tried to explain my mistake to her,“I marked D though I knew C was the right answer.” However,she refused my request and told me,“I do believe you,but I am not going to forgive your mistake.This will encourage you to be more careful before you turn your papers in.” I was not expecting that from her,but she was completely right.1The teacher told the writer to write his name to .A.force him to work hardB.test his writing styleC.make him angry D.tell him the importance of time2Why did the writer choose D instead of C?A.Because D was the right answer.B.Because the exam time was short.C.Because he was careless.D.Because he didn’t know the right answer.3What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To praise his teacher very highly.B.To show how strict his teacher was.C.To tell us to be careful in exams.D.To tell his experience of studying abroadBIt seems like just yesterday that you had to persuade your daughter to bathe.But then she turned 11 and started spending hours in the bathroom and glancing at her image(映像) in every mirror she passes.She is concerned about her looks.What happened?And is it healthy?As they approach the teen years,it’s common and natural for kids to become more interested in appearances—their own and others’.Their bodies are going through some big changes as they grow and go through puberty(青春期).As teens change physically,they become more aware of how they look.Growth and puberty affect more than a teen’s appearance—body image is affected,too.Having a healthy body image means that most of the feelings,ideas,and opinions about the body and appearance are positive.It means accepting and appreciating their bodies and feeling mostly satisfied with their appearances.Developing a healthy body image happens over time.It can be influenced by experiences and shaped by the opinions of others and by cultural messages.Preteens and teens often compare their looks with others’ or with media images of the “right” way to look.And ideal images are so unrealistic—it’s all too common to be dissatisfied with some aspects of appearance.Being criticized(批评) or laughed at about appearances can be particularly hurtful at this age.As teens try on different looks,parents can help by being accepting and supportive,providing positive messages,and encouraging other qualities that keep looks properly.Keep in mind that it’s important for preteens or teens to eat nutritious food,limit junk food,and get plenty of physical activities,but it’s not advisable for them to diet.Being overly concerned about weight,limiting food,or exercising too much can be signs of an eating disorder.Talk to your doctor if you notice any of these signs in your kids.Still,parents can be frustrated(沮丧的) when looks seem to matter so much to kids.It’s important to encourage teens to take pride in their appearance but also to focus on the deeper qualities that matter more.4What’s the purpose of the questions in the first paragraph?A.To lead in the topic.B.To offer some tips.C.To show different opinions.D.To introduce the importance of health.5When the kids are around ten, .A.they have to be persuaded to batheB.they will pay attention to their looksC.they will be shy of the physical changesD.they would like to stay with their parents6What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.The opinions of others will hardly affect the form of a healthy body image.B.Having a healthy body image means the kid’s look is accepted by others.ually most kids are satisfied with their appearances.D.Kids are easy to be hurt when their looks are laughed at.7According to Paragraph 5,kids should .A.avoid being worried about their weight too muchB.have a strict physical activity arrangementC.try keeping the shape by limiting foodD.often visit the doctor to see if they are fitCWe offer five kinds of courses.Each course has been designed to help students according to their

B
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading。 It is unusual for what it contains: the news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the comments and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles, from interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more unusual for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next.

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解An aspirin a day keeps the doctor awayDr. Tim Johnson discusses evidence of a daily dose of aspirin's benefits. That's not the saying, but doctors have agreed, for about a generation, that an aspirin a day is good for you. It may reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes by 20 percent or more.The US Preventive Services Task Force, an independent group convened by the Department of Health and Human Services, has published guidelines that it says should end the confusion.The key points:⒈Men should start a daily aspirin at age 45, mainly to protect against heart attacks.⒉Women should start at 55, mainly to protect against stroke.⒊For both sexes, a baby aspirin-typically 81 milligram a day-will do the job. There is no evidence that a large dose makes a difference.⒋And both sexes should stop by age 80, unless their doctors say otherwise. As you get older, there's a greater risk of bleeding in the brain or the digestive system, a risk that is small but can be deadly in some cases.If people start taking aspirin as the guidelines, doctors say their risk of heart attacks will drop by about 20 percent. "People may ask themselves 'Am I at risk for a heart attack or a stroke?'" said Dr. Randal Thomas, director of cardiovas-cular health at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota "If you are age 45 and male, if you're above age 55 and female, the answer is most likely yes, and you will most likely benefit from taking a small dose of aspirin a day.(1)What might Dr. Tim Johnson think of taking an aspirin a day?A. It is useless for the old.B. It will keep the doctor away.C. It is beneficial to health.D. It will have harmful side effects.(2)What can we learn from the guidelines?A. The aspirin has the same effect on both men and women.B. A large dose of aspirin will cause bleeding in the brain.C. People should start taking aspirin at age 45.D. It will be a waste if you take more than 81 milligram of aspirin a day.(3)What might be Dr. Randal Thomas attitude to the guidelines?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Cautious.D. Doubtful.(4)What is the text mainly about?A. How to keep the doctor away.B. How to reduce the healthy risk.C. What are benefits of aspirin.D. Who should take aspirin and when.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍类"谁应该在什么时候服用阿司匹林"。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的”Dr.Tim Johnson discusses evidence of a daily dose of aspirin's benefits.“可知阿司匹林对健康是有好处的。
故选C。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三小点”a baby aspirin-typically 81 milligram a day-will do the job. There is no evidence that a large d ose makes a difference.“可知阿司匹林服入超过81毫克是没有作用的,也就是过多的服用是浪费,故选D。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的”you will most likely benefit from taking a small dose of aspirin a day.“每天服用小剂量的阿斯匹林最有可能使你受益。
可推知 Dr.Randal Thomas指导方针持支持态度。
故选B。
(4)考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段中的”If you are age 45 and male, if you're above age 55 and female, the answer is most likely yes, and you will most likely benefit from taking a small dose of aspirin a day.“可知,短文介绍服用阿司匹林的指导方针。
45岁的男性和55岁以上的女性,是可以服用阿司匹林的,每天服用小剂量的阿司匹林中受益。
"可知文章主要讲的是"谁应该在什么时候服用阿司匹林。
"故选D。

2.阅读理解At 23 I applied for full-time positions with no intention of working five days a week. As a housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children while they were young. I didn't want to miss out on school drop-offs and pick-ups. But I also didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement — the business adapting to me and me adapting to the business.Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan; in fact, we spent time during that first interview talking about how we could make it work together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too — four days a week.I appreciated that I'm one of the lucky ones. Even 10 years on, flexible hiring and working remains the exception rather than the rule for most.What will help shift views and behavior, in addition to organizations updating their hiring policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities. We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.It's a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (先入之见) that working part-time would limit my career progression. What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I wasworking full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.(1)Why did the author want a flexible job?A. To balance her work and life.B. To have more time to relax.C. To avoid too much stress in life.D. To stand out as a special woman.(2)What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?A. The time spent discussing her plan.B. Her relationship with the interviewer.C. Her great confidence in the interview.D. The interviewer's understanding her.(3)What does the author advise to apply for a flexible job?A. Trying to seize every opportunity one can get.B. Persuading the company to change its hiring policies.C. Being honest about one's personal life outside of work.D. Convincing the employer of one's responsibility for the job.(4)What can we infer about her job from the passage?A.It weakened her ability.B.It made her highly noticeable.C.It limited her career promotion.D.It caused her to earn less money.【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者面试兼职工作时改变传统思路,脱颖而出获得机会,并以此而发表了自己的看法观点。
