河北省正定县第三中学2020学年高一英语4月月考试题
2020年高一第二学期4月考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解第一节（共10小题；每题2分，满分20分）AA crow (乌鸦) lived in the woods and was satisfied with his life. But his life changed when he saw a swan (天鹅). “He is so white,” he thought, “but I am so black. He must be the happiest bird in the world.”He expressed his thoughts to the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I thought that I was the happiest bird until I saw a parrot (鹦鹉), who has two colors.”The crow then went to the parrot. The parrot said, “I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock (孔雀), who has many colors. I now think the peacock is the happiest bird.”The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo. “Dear peacock,” the crow said, “you are so beautiful. Every day lots of people come to see you. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”The peacock replied, “I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happiest bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am kept here.I examined the zoo very carefully and found that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. I hope that I could become a crow, so I could fly around freely.”That’s our problem, too. We make unnecessary comparison (对比) with others and become sad. We don’t value what we have. This leads to unhappiness. Learn to be happy with what you have instead of looking at what you don’t have. There will always be someone who has more or less than you have. Those people who are satisfied with what they have are the happiest in the world. 1．After seeing the swan, the crow ______.A.wanted to become beautifulB.decided to leave the woodsC.became less satisfied with his own lifeD.considered black as the ugliest color2．The swan thinks the parrot is the happiest bird because the parrot ________.A.has many colorsB.can fly around freelyC.attracts lots of peopleD.has one more color than him 3．What does the underlined part “our problem” in the passage refer to?paring ourselves with others.B.Feeling unhappy all the time.C.Having less than others.D.Having no freedom.4．By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us that _____.A.there are more unhappy people around usB.we should be happy with what we haveC.nothing is better than having freedomD.beauty doesn’t mean happinessB5．What are the four people in the text trying to do?A. Introduce themselves to each other.B. Look for language partners.C. Collect information online.D. Search for travel partners.6. Nissa is different from the other three people in _________.A. her learning experiencesB. her native languageC. her practicing language levelD. her purpose in learning7．If a Chinese who is in America wants to improve his English, he can get in touch with _________.A. NissaB. ChristinaC. DavidD. DanCMy only daughter, Sindu, looked frightened. Tears filled her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice (米糊).I asked, “Darling, why don’t you take it? It’s good for your health.”Sindu wiped her tears and said, “OK, I will eat. But Dad, if I eat this entire curd rice, will you give me whatever I want?”“Promise,” I nodded.Slowly and painfully, she finished. “I want to have my head shaved off,”she said.Neither my wife nor I could believe our ears. Immediately we said, “Impossible!”“Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat that curd rice. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra?” Sindu said in tears. “Now, you are breaking your promise.”It was time for me to make a decision.“Our promise must be kept,” I said.“You are out of your mind!” shouted my wife.“If we break our promises, she will never learn to keep her own,” I said.On Monday morning, I dropped Sindu at her school. Just then, a boy ranto her. What struck me was the hairless head of that boy.“Maybe that’s the new campus fashion,” I thought.Then a lady came to me and said, “That boy is my son, Harish. He is suffering from leukemia (白血病). He lost all his hair because of the side effects of the treatment . He refused to come back to school, fearing that his classmates would make fun of him. Sindu visited him last week and promised him that she would take care of the issue. Sir, you are lucky to have such a great girl.”8．The story of King Harishchandra probably tells that _____.A.kids should eat healthy foodB.people should keep their promisesC.children should listen to their parentsD.parents should satisfy all of their kids’ needs9．Why did Sindu want to have her head shaved off?A.To show she was angry with her parents.B.To call on her classmates to help Harish.C.To follow the new campus fashion.D.To make Harish feel easy.10．Which words can be used to best describe Sindu?A.Intelligent and caring.B.Humorous and brave.C.Honest and determined.D.Patient and kind-hearted.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。
河北正定中学高二4月月考英语试卷
2020-2021学年河北正定中学高二4月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” --a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores. Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident. (He thought the experience would make a nice book.)After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, completely humbled （挫败的）,” admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids. Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs, “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to ru n the household, however----until Bob signed the contract, therefore, she decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peters had consulted with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria, his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative（暂时的）title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.1．The couple signed the contract because _______.A．Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfB．Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restC．they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksD．Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book 2．It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______. A．pay a certain amount of moneyB．admit publicly he was wrong about motherhoodC．say sorry to his wife Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat.D．do all the housework for years3．What can we learn about Pat Peters?A．She was hard-working and selfless.B．She was pretty and kind-hearted.C．She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.D．She did not love Bob any longer.4．Which of the following can best end the news story?A．“Wait till your mother gets home!”B．“My experience of being a mother.”C．“I’m proud of you all, my dear!”D．“Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”Should parents ever hit their children?Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And, no, I don' t feel I was damaged by it．Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied thetopic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive （反作用的）to their mental development, as well．Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks （用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe’s research suggests they don' t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers （脾气）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment．5．According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parentswhen .A．they were dissatisfied with her gradeB．she showed no respect for the elderC．they cannot control their temperD．their discipline turns out to be not strict enough6．According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished ____ __．A．are less aggressive toward others when they get olderB．have slower physical developmentC．benefit from occasional spankingD．may develop lower IQs than their peer7．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．40 percent of children grow up without ever being spankedB．Children who suffer less physical punishment are better studentsC．Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful D．Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to childrenAmong various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style.But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer c ould easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. J erry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewe rs are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adultsof society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.8．Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are____.A．more interesting B．more formalC．more detailed D．unusually popular9．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A．Family income planning. B．Nation hatred.C．A new type of robot. D．Street accident.10．We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A．have become the only ones of its kindB．attract different peopleC．appear at different times of the dayD．exploit the weaknesses in human nature11．Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______A．Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.B．The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.C．Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass AmericansD．Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill （钻孔）deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0ºC．The seeds will be protected behind walls a meter thick and high-security door.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will e from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0ºC．The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s safest gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first put forward the idea in the 1980s. But safety concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.12．The project is meant to ______.A．increase the world’s food output in the futureB．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesC．build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seedsD．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters13．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?A．The government of Norway will perform the project alone.B．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousands years ago.C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the nuclear war forever.D．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.14．We can infer from the text that _______.A．Norway had meant to build the storage centre about 20 years before.B．The storage center will greatly promote world agricultureC．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.D．There haven’t been any seed storage centres in the world before.15．What is probably the best title of the passage?A．The Best Place to Store SeedsB．Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟）of Plant Seeds in PlanC．Concerns of World Food SupplyD．A New Way to Feed the World二、七选五16．Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like volcano（火山）！17．Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 18．Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break. something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters.19．However, it’s not for a kid to do any of thos e things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do？Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 20．Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. Thepuppy is not bad —— it will probably turn out to be a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.A．Everybody gets angry sometimes.B．You don’t want to cau se trouble.C．Kids should be allowed to express their feelings,even angry ones.D．You can train you temper.E.In fact,they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.F.Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with,think of something el se.G.Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.三、完形填空Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with.

I was in physical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment.I don't want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don't want to gloss my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I'm still a work in progress. I'm not perfect. Like all of us, I'm doing the best I can. Making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.What happened next? I started writing.There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. The depression started to lift. I started to feel like myself again.After completing a four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didn't know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the internet.And so here we are. The day before the release of the book. Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. But that's not my real motivation. I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.If the story provides this to just one person, I've done my job.4. What does the underlined word “gloss” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Cover.B. Expose.C.

My New BookCWith a flock of birds, a group member can often be seen high in the tree acting as a lookout while the rest feed on the ground below. When a predator approaches, the lookout sounds the alarm.To the casual observer, it may appear that the lookout is acting for the good of the greater group, but a new study suggests that the lookout – called a sentinel(哨兵) – may actually be working for itself.While sentinel behavior among groups of birds has been observed, Dr. Roni Ostreiher and Professor Aviad Heifetz recently began researching the sentinel behavior of floaters –birds that have either been cast out or for other reasons decide to go it alone. What they found was that floaters also have similar lookout activities and will sound an alarm call if an enemy approaches.This suggests that while the group benefits from having a lookout, the instinct to act as the lookout is motivated not by the group but by self-preservation. The sentinel may simply be trying to scare away its enemy instead of warning other birds down below.It might be easy to understand that when a floater displays sentinel behavior, the bird is acting for itself. However, birds in groups may have less selfish motives since the birds appear to alternate as lookouts. “There are some adult group members who act as sentinels more often than others. As far as we understand, acting as a sentinel is not a duty. Those who sentinel less often are not punished,” Ostreiher said.He also noted that the sentinel's primary purpose is to gather information about its surroundings –the presence of a neighboring group, changes in food sources and even weather –not keeping lookout for approaching enemies.“We do not know what motivates them to stop eating and climb up to a tree branch and start to sentinel,” Ostreiher added. He and Heifetz are now focused on understanding what happens after an alarm call is sounded.8. What is the finding of the study?A. Birds look out just for their own safety.B. Sentinel behavior is unique to birds.C. Birds have a strong sense of danger.D. Birds react quickly when hearing an alarm.9. What can we infer about a floater?A. It is often a selfish bird.B. It benefits from other birds.C. It lives and feeds on its own.D. Its duty is to protect other birds.10. What is Ostreiher's opinion on birds' sentinel behavior?A. It is unnecessary for a floater.B. It is every bird's responsibility.C. Birds seem to watch out in turn.D. It is completely selfless behavior.11. In which part of a newspaper can you find this passage?A. Life.B. Health.C. Technology.D. Nature.DIn New York, students at 18 schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle. Started by Anna Giordano in 2020, it teaches kids to recycle, compost(堆肥), and reduce food waste.Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins – compost, recycle and share. While the first two are common in schools, the third is rare, where kids can put their unwanted drinks, fruits, and even untouched sandwiches. Items in the container are available for any student that wants them. Whatever remainsat the end of the day is donated to the food bank. Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2!To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home, the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling, composting, trash and food to donate They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.But, as we’re all aware, kids aren’t the only ones that waste food - Adults are equally bad, if not worse! To prevent that, Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supper club in 2020. The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-course meal for a mere $50 USD per person. It is also a plan to save waste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and, therefore, headed for the trash bin.The other catch? Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster （大型垃圾装卸车）! The place, of course, is totally clean. It is just a symbolic gesture. In addition to helping people rethink their actions, Treuhaft also helps them do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.12. What is the aim of We Future Cycle?A. To collect money and food for poor children.B. To educate children to treasure and save food.C. To encourage children to share food with others.D. To inspire children to learn agriculture knowledge.13. Which word can be used to describe We Future Cycle?A. Successful.B. Official.C. Impractical.D. World-famous.14. What do we know about Salvage Supper club?A. It is mainly aimed for adults.B. It is founded by Anna Giordano.C. It provides free supper for people.D. It has enjoyed great success in many schools.15. What is the reason for people eating in a dumpster?A. It is money- saving.B. People like to be unique.C. It can remind people of food waste problem.D. A dumpster is much cleaner than a restaurant.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。
