高二上学期英语开学考试试卷第12套真题
高二上学期英语开学考试试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writin g attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.（1）Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A . They were difficult to understand.B . They were popular among the rich.C . They were seen as nearly worthless.D . They were written mostly by women.（2）Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A . his reputation in FranceB . his interest in modern artC . his success in publicationD . his importance in literature（3）What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A . To remember a great writer.B . To introduce an English novel.C . To encourage studies on culture.D . To promote values of the Victorian age.2. 阅读理解Four Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in thetourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.（1）Why is the population of tigers becoming smaller?A . People hunt illegally and destroy their living spots.B . It is difficult for tigers to fit in with their environment.C . The forests are not suitable for their living.D . The tigers are a threat to the residents nearby.（2）What’s the main reason why some animals are in danger according to the passage?A . Climate changes.B . Human activities.C . Lack of food.D . Serious pollution.（3）The tails of ________ are regarded as status symbols in Africa.A . tigers’B . ground squirrels’C . giraffes’D . Asian elephants’（4）What can we infer from the passage?A . The giraffe population has increased greatly in the last 30 years.B . The number of squirrels is between 124000 and 4130000.C . Elephants in Myanmar are completely caught and even killed.D . The present situation of endangered animals is worrying.3. 阅读理解On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It soundedmore pleasant than ever.Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim（认领）it soon.”After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket（彩票）,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition （学费）and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.（1）What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?A . He walked around the New York railway station.B . He waited for the train to Vienna.C . He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna.D . He played theviolin to make some money.（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper?A . The hat belonged to George Sang.B . The young artist needed George Sang’s advice.C . George Sang had lo st something important.D . The young artist wanted some money from George Sang.（3）From this article, we can learn that ______.A . being honest is very important to usB . playing the violin can make you honestC . it’s acceptable to keep the lottery if you find oneD . we should share something valuable with others4. 阅读理解Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because t hings don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens . Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That’s bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists have susp ected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensivepessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defe nsive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a backup plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, and “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A . A book that has recently been published.B . The dangers of being too optimistic.C . How to become successful in life.D . The benefits of defensive pessimism.（2）The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.A . the final outcomeB . people’s motivationC . their low opinionD . their performance（3）The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science.” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A . the cost is not so highB . there is no real proofC . it’s not a dangerou s thing to doD . it is quite simple to understand（4）The writer would probably describe himself as________.A . an optimistB . a scientistC . a defeatistD . a realist（5）Which of the following English expressions would be a defensive pessimist believe?A . Every cloud has a silver lining.B . Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.C . Whatever will be, will be.D . The glass is half full not half empty.二、任务型阅读5. 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。

高二第一学期12月月考英语试题
河北省石家庄市第二中学2020-2021学年高二第一学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Fire Prevention InformationThe University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals. They inspect all campus buildings and test and maintain all sprinkler(喷水灭火装置) systems, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers (灭火器). They also provide educational programs on fire safety in the residence halls. Whenever you move to a new area, you should locate the fire alarm pull stations and the two exits nearest your room.Fire AlarmsThe floors of all campus buildings are equipped with manual(手动的) fire alarm systems which include fire alarm pull stations and pipes. Most are also equipped with automatic fire alarm systems consisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with(胡乱摆弄) these systems. False fire alarms are illegal and may lead to imprisonment.Fire DrillsA fire drill will be conducted in your residence hall every semester. During a fire drill, please do the following:·Take your room key and ID, close and lock the door to your room.·Exit immediately from the nearest emergency exit; do not use a lift.·Meet outside of your residence hall and wait for further instructions.Fire ExtinguishersFire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in damage to personal property. Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines.Smoke DetectorsA smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:●If your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light isnot blinking(闪动), contact residence hall staff immediately.●Do not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.●If a smoke detector sets of f an alarm and there is no fire or smoke, inform your hall staff. 1．What is the main duty of the fire prevention professionals?A．To provide part-time jobs for students.B．To lead the students to the nearest exits.C．To check and maintain fire prevention equipment.D．To train teachers to be fire prevention professionals.2．What do the automatic fire alarm systems include?A．Pipes and smoke detectors.B．Smoke detectors and sprinklers.C．Fire alarm pull stations and pipes.D．Sprinklers and fire alarm pull stations.3．In a fire drill, the students should ___________.A．rush quickly to a liftB．gather at the nearest exitC．shut the door and leave at onceD．wait for instructions in the hall4．What do we know about the use of fire extinguishers?A．Using them wrongly results in punishment.B．Irresponsible use of them can damage them.C．Improper use of them can destroy the apartment.D．Using them without a trainer present is forbidden.Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they al l admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.5．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________. A．anxious to do wondersB．sensitive to others’ feelingsC．likely to develop unpleasant habitsD．eager to explore the world around them6．What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A．To avoid jumping to conclusions.B．To stop complaining all the time.C．To follow the teacher’s advice.D．To admit mistakes honestly.7．The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.A．are very patient in their observationB．are really fascinated by natureC．care only about the names of birdsD．question the accuracy of the field guides8．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A．The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.B．They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St, Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an un- controllable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.I’m like a migrat ory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend w inters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?9．What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?A．Winters in Florida are milder.B．The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.C．Weather in Florida is severer.D．Florida is nearer to the ocean.10．What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Unwillingness.B．Expectation.C．Coincidence.D．Motivation.11．Which of the following words can best describe the author?A．Imaginative and outspoken.B．Hard-working and serious.C．Homesick and easy-goingD．Anxious and painful.12．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To describe his dream to be a free bird.B．To express his feeling of missing his hometown.C．To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.D．To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. qSo far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass--apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax--also allows them to break down plastic "Wax is a complex mixture,but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains. "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”13．What can we learn about the worms in the study?A．They take plastics as their everyday food.B．They are newly evolved creatures.C．They can consume plastics.D．They wind up in landfills.14．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A．identify other means of the breakdownB．find out the source of the enzymeC．confirm the research findingsD．increase the breakdown speed15．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A．help to raise wormsB．help make plastic bagsC．be used to clean the oceansD．be produced in factories in future二、七选五Difficult fina ncial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 16．There are so many ways to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.1. Pick up the phoneCalling someone “for no reason” is an important opportunity to show them that you are thinking of them. You are taking time out of your busy day to reach out. Everyone needssomeone to just listen sometimes. They may be filled with joy or sadness. 17．2.Write a note18．It is one thing to say it, but it can be even more meaningful to put it in writing. What if you made a commitment to write a thank-you note to someone every week?3. 19．You never know what someone might be going through-a painful divorce, a tough college semester, or just a bad day. Opening up your home will make someone feel appreciated. In addition’ it costs less than going out. The leftovers from this dinner can be packaged up for homeless people. That’s double giving!4. Set aside money from a daily routine to donateGiving doesn’t have to mean a life full of sacrifices. You can s till buy a burger or get your nails done. 20．Donate the money you saves: Even $ 5 can make a difference in someone’s life. A．Give a gift to the stomach.B．Invite someone over for dinner.C．To take your awareness to a new level, move beyond money.D．But instead of buying much coffee every week, you can drink less.E.While some people enjoy receiving gifts, all of us appreciate a kind word.F.Instead, they allow you to examine how your time and money are spent.G.Be there to celebrate their good news, or support them with sympathy.三、完形填空Where do you go when you want to learn something？School？A friend？A tutor？These are all 21 places of learning. But it may well be that the learning you really want 22 somewhere else instead. I had the 23 of seeing this first hand on a 24 ．My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team.

Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph(留声机), the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but he was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. He was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas Edison then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent(专利) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. The stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on atape.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work.56. Of all Edison’s inventions, ______ was probably the most important formankind.A. the electric lightB. the stock-tickerC. the vote recorderD. the motion picture camera57. Choose the right order of the events given in the passage.a. Edison worked as a newsboy.b. Edison moved to Port Huron.c. Edison got his first patent.d. Edison became a telegraph operator.A. b-a-d-cB. a-b-d-cC. a-b-c-dD. b-a-c-d58. The underlined word “blessing”can be replaced by ______.A. necessityB. disadvantageC. disabilityD. benefit59. What made Edison a great inventor?A. The education from his motherB. His interest and hard workC. His early work experienceD. His deafness and talent.BIn 1865, a creative engineer, John Roebling, decided to build a bridgeconnecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.However, Roebling thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington that the bridge in fact could be built.With great excitement and inspiration, and great hardships before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge in 1869.The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.Now all he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By touching his wife’s arm with that finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, telling the engineers what to do, until the bridge was finally completed.60. T o build a bridge between New York and the Long Island _______.A. was a dream of many bridge expertsB. was a terribly difficult taskC. was supported by the American governmentD. sounded creative to many bridge building experts61.

It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive(有好处的) to happiness. We can choose to refuse to think about the unhappy events. If we let outer events influence our moods, we become their slaves. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.What is happiness? It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or confused thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside,triggered(触发) by outer events.For most people happiness seems passing quickly. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation(冥想). As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life:Try hard to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side.Think of solutions, not problems.Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking ofpleasant things.68. For most people happiness seems passing quickly because _______.A. they let changing outer circumstances affect themB. they hope that even greater happiness will comeC. they have no friends to share happiness with themD. they don’t want to achieve any greater happiness69. We can learn from the passage that our happiness is _______.A. that we own a great deal of moneyB. to achieve the goal we havebeen seekingC. a feeling of inner peace and satisfactionD. the feeling that we areadmired by others70. According to the author happiness depends on _______.A. outer circumstancesB. our attitude toward itC. the conditions we haveD. the objective world71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Happiness Is the Goal in Daily Life.B. Happiness Exists in Everyone’s Mind.C. Happiness Can Be Chosen by Us.D. Tips for happiness in Daily Life.EThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land,”Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC, said.According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources, such as gasoline, and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats. Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise(高层的) building.According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption(消费量) by one-third and our water by 50 percent.The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自动地) turn off when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows. This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.72. Green buildings are _______.A. far away from public transportationB. built in the forestsC. earth-friendlyD. often built on developing land73. Green buildings are built near public transportation mainly for the purposeof ______.A. taking buses or subways easilyB. saving natural resourcesC. driving private cars lessD. protecting the environment 74. The Solaire is thought to be “green ” because it ________. A. locates near a forest B. lies close to stores C. reduces energy and water use D. was built with green materials 75. Which of the following is used to cut energy consumption in the Solaire? A. Closing windows as long as possible. B. Reducing the time of using lights. C. Recycling solar power. D. Using natural resources.●●●●●……第二卷：第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
高二上学期英语第一次月考试题套真题
高二上学期英语第一次月考试题一、阅读理解 .1. 阅读理解HolidaysHoliday NewsVacancies now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon. This comfortable, friendly home-from-home lies near the beautiful quiet countryside, but just a drive away from the sea. The food is simple but good. Children and pets are welcome. Reduced prices for low season.The Snowdonia CentreThe Snowdonia Centre for young mountain climbers has a mountain climbing lesson. The beginners’ costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and rooms. Equipment is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost.You must be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetime of mountain climbing adventure.The World Sea Trip of a LifetimeOur World Sea Trip of 2019 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before. Instead of one hotel after another, with all its packing andunpacking, waiting and traveling, you just go to bed in one country and wake up in another.On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home.During the trip, you can rest on deck, enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.You will visit all the places most people only dream about —from Acapulco and Hawaii to Tokyo and Hong Kong.For a few thousand pounds, all you’ve ever hoped for can be yours.（1）What can you do if you like to go on holidays with pets?A . Choose the holiday in Devon.B . Go to the Snowdonia Centre.C . Join the World Sea Trip of 2008.D . Visit Acapulco and Hawaii.（2）In what way is the Snowdonia Centre different from the other two holidays?A . It provides chances of family gatherings.B . It provides customers with good food.C .

You have to do your own packing and unpacking.2. 阅读理解I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t kno w.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!（1）When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.A . describe the place carefullyB . show him a map of the placeC . tell him the names of the streetsD . refer to recognizable buildings and places（2）What is the place where people measure distance in time?A . New York.B . Los Angeles.C . Kansas.D . Iowa.（3）People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.A . in order to save timeB . Los Angeles.C . so as to be politeD . for fun（4）What can we infer from the text?A . It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B . It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C . People have similar understandings of politeness.D . New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.3. 阅读理解More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!If you get on a bicycle and ride it, you may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your cars. You can bike to work and benefit from the enjoyable exercise without polluti ng the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.Folding bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle friendly to travellers.Here are some of Health Benefits of Bicycling：Bicycling helps to prevent heart diseases.Bicycling helps to control your weight.A 15minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year.Bicycling can improve your mood.Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.Bicycling is healthier than driving.（1）Riding your bicycle around, you may ________.A . pollute the environment aroundB . find something you didn’t not iceC . go everywhere and use a little oilD . get off your bike and begin to work （2）If you travel with a folding bike, you can fold it and ________.A . put it at the stationB . go on airline websitesC . feel more self-confidentD . take it onto a train with you（3）Which of the following is one of the Health Benefits from bicycling?A . you can fold the bicycleB . you will be friendly to othersC . you will be more relaxedD . you may get fatter and fatter（4）Which is WRONG according to the passage?A . Riding bikes is healthier than driving cars.B . Bicycling is enjoyable exercise for people.C . Common bikes can be taken by all airlines.D . There are more bicycles than cars on roads worldwide today.4. 阅读理解Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, nihao. It i s such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just a bout relationships between governments or leaders—they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, Skype with people in the world.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are i mportant. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your bordersexperience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”（1）The speaker probably gave the talk to the audience ________.A . in a universityB . on the InternetC . in the Parliament HallD . in a tourist attraction（2）According to the passage, the world’s future depends on ________.A . texts and emailsB . traveling abroadC . getting good gradesD . connections among young people（3）In the speaker’s opinion, the key to success in our times is ________.A . studying abroadB . doing more exercisesC . going to a universityD . getting good test scores（4）Where may the passage come from?A . A story.B . A speech.C . A news report.D . A scientific magazine.二、任务型阅读5. 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。

ADear Jorge,Are you enjoying your break from school? My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capital Building, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt’s home to Calistoga to see California’s Old Faithful Geyser(老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California; Where You Should Go.You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser father north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called“ Little Old Faithful.”When we arrived California’s Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn’t look very deep. “ What’s the big deal?” I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher than California’s Old Faithful Geyser. I’d love tolearn more about this geyser and other geysers in different countries when I get home. I’ll see you soon!Your friend,Bennetto21.According to the text, Bennetto ___________.A. visited his aunt Gloria by himself.B. had never heard of Old Faithful Geyser..

Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked.She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.“It is beautiful, so skill fully woven(编织），” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked.“What should I have noticed?”I looked at her and asked.“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针）missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!“But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked.“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come--it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”28. The blanket the author received_____ .A. was poorly woven.B. made her think a lot.C. cost her a lot of money.D. was finished, but not ready.29. Why was the author shown around the village?A. To buy more things made by the Navajo.B. To make friends with some of the Navajo.C. To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.D. To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.30. Which of the following may the Navajo believe?A. A stitch in time is very important.B. Life only becomes perfect when you die.C. He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.D. You must always try to make your life complete.31. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The Navajo are good at making things.B. The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C. A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D. Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.DThe way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO)warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologiesare killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environme ntal and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technol ogies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies fo r clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By making classifications.B. By listing numbers.C. By following time order.D. By describing a process.33. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A. People should use an effective air cleaner.B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.35. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The way we cook is changing.B. Cause of indoor air pollution.C. The development of electric stoves.D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The building was changed and thesculptures much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained.Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador (大使) to the Ottoman Empire (奥斯曼帝国), which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself．Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain．The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary (当代的) artistic trends．These sculptures were acquired from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they have all been on display to the public, free of charge．Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the permanent removal to Athens of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum．They have also challenged the British Museum Board of Trustees' legal title to the sculptures．The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day．The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures．It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled (空前的) collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced - and was influenced by -the other civilizations that it encountered．56. The underlined "it" (in Paragraph 4) refers to "_________"．A. the Greek governmentB. the British MuseumC. the ParthenonD. the British Museum Board of Trustees57. What can we learn about Lord Elgin from the passage?A. He is greatly admired in Greece．B. He worked for the Ottoman Empire．C. He had a deep interest in Greek culture．D. He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed．58. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world cultureB.The sculptures introduced ancient Greek culture to the west．C. The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures．D. The British Museum is the place most capable of preserving these sculptures．59. The author's main intention in writing this passage is to tell _____．A. the history of the Parthenon and its sculpturesB. what people can see in the British MuseumC. the influence of Greece on British cultureD. why the British Museum refuses to return the sculpturesBMore than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets. It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing aboutthe family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产) they plan to leave them.“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Globai Wealth a nd Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”The trend is led by the world’s richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会), and not to his children.“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.Of his plans for his children, Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage… they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”60. We can learn from the passage that .A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritanceB．rich parents don’t equal rich kids, at least in the USC．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealthD．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents61. According to the survey, most rich Americans .A．think they owe their children nothing B．think it best to give their money back to societyC．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealthD．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth62. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to.A．responsible children B．Bill Gates and his wifeC．first-generation rich D．rich parentsCApril Fools’ Day is a famous day that is observed in many countries on the 1st of April. April Fools’ Day is also referred to as All Fools’ Day. It is one of the most fun-filled days of the year for all involved. The origin of Apr il Fools’ Day is still a bit of a mystery.This is because there really was not a "first April Fools’ Day" that can actually be identified on the calendar. Some people believe it might have come about in several cultures around the same time, from festivities that involve the first day of spring. However, some individuals see it as a commemoration (纪念) of the changing of the season, while there are others who think it originates from the implementation (执行) of a new calendar. The most accurate point in time that can be considered as the start of this April Fools’ Day tradition was in 1582 in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days. The celebration ended on the 1st of April. Later with the restructuring of the calendar, New Year’s Day was moved to the 1st of January. In those times communication was of course not as keen as it is today. Therefore a lot of people did not get the news of the change in calendar for many years.On the other hand many individuals refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on the 1st of April. These persons were branded as "fools" by the general public and they were in return subjected to being laughed at. These practical jokes developed, over a period of time, into a series of pranks(恶作剧) on the first day of April. This custom after a while extended to other cultur es. April Fools’ Day began to develop into a worldwide day of pure fun, which entertained several cultures which specializedin their own kind of humour at the expense of their friends and families.63. According to the passage, people around the world hold the same belief that _______.A.the origin of April Fools’ Day remains unknownB. April Fools’ Day was set up to commemorate the changing of the seasonC. April Fools’ Day came into being at the same time in different countriesD. the origin of April Foo ls’ Day has something to do with the first day of spring64. It is implied in the passage that _______.A. April Fools’ Day spread from America to France after the change of the calendarB. April Fools’ Day was celebrated on the 1st of April by everyone in 1582C. April Fools’ Day was on the 1st of January before 1582 in FranceD. the New Year before the year of 1582 in France began on the 25th of March65. The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph refers to _______.A. those who didn’t accept the new calendarB. the general publicC. those who made the new calendarD. individuals第二卷一：单词拼写(每小题1分，共计10分)1.

They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop confidence and independence.As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own, children continue to try new activities. Also it ispossible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In a camp setting, a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn the give and take, and they learn how to work and cooperate. Something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives.根据新闻报道，每年全国在餐馆里被倒掉的食物估计可养活2亿人。

高二上学期英语第一次月考试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each oth er, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talkabout yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don’t k now about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”（1）The subject discussed in this passage is _______.A . how people do research studiesB . how people open up when emailingC . how to communicate at workD . how to discuss and solve a problem（2）The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.A . they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB . they couldn’t see each otherC . the cameras on the computers were turned onD . they had to discuss a question（3）In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.A . focus on oneself when emailingB . talk more freely in emails than usualC . consider how one uses email at workD . discuss any subject that one wants to2. 阅读理解A new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.（1）What’s the main idea of the passage?A . Puppy love may bring young people depression.B .

The family she baby-sits for hasn’t been calling as much as usual and she couldn’t find a job over the summer. Devon’s dad said it’s a sign of the tough economy. He told her he’s feeling the pinch too and that he had to use her college fund to pay the loan.This kind of money troubles isn’t strange to common families these days. In fact, it’s hard to avoid news about the economy on the screen of theTV or the computers recently. It can seem a bit worry and some families are hit really hard.For most people, the big problem is that things cost more at a time when they have less money to spend. But higher prices aren’t the only problem. Many people are having a tough time making payments on some types of home loans.Therefore, some families are cutting back on what they spend. For example, eating out less, staying home instead of going on vacation, moving to a less expensive house and so on.However, as discouraging as things may seem now, the good news is that the economy always gets back on track after a while. Jobs may be hard to find, but the slow economy can open up new opportunities. The couple Devon babysat for might cut back on evening’s out, but they could be inte rested in hiring her for after-school care. Perhaps it’s time to sell her old toys and baby gear in the basement or help others sell these items online if she is good at it. She could charge them a fee to sell their old stuff.（1）What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph refer to?A . Getting hurt.B . Receiving less calls.C . Out of work.D .

To move to other places for vocations.（4）The passage is mainly about________A . Devon’s own family money troublesB . family troubles made by tough economyC . ways of solving the slow economyD . the increasing prices and expenses4. 阅读理解The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.“They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-oldDaniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking bac k on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”（1）According to the author, teenage rebellion______A . may be a false beliefB . is common nowadaysC . existed only in the 1960sD . resulted from changes in families.（2）The study shows that teenagers don’t want to __________.A . share family responsibilityB . cause trouble in their familiesC . go boating with their familyD . make family decisions（3）Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ____________.A . go to clubs more often with their childrenB . are much stricter with theirchildrenC . care less about their children’s lifeD . give their children more freedom（4）What is the passage mainly about？A . Negotiation in family.B . Education in family.C . Harmony in family.D . Teenage trouble in family.二、完形填空5. 完形填I am a 17-year-old college student.
