2019～2020学年度高二英语下学期月考试题第一部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题，每题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AAre you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve got a guide to help you.You’re not alone.Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.The teachers will help.If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students. Pay attention to what your teachers say.Everything changes.There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.Other points.Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on.If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but things will become better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!21. The author says that you’re not alone, because other students ______.A. are polite and friendlyB. will help you if possibleC. feel the same as you doD. will learn the new rules with you22. What does the writer think of moving up to senior high school?A. It is a difficult problem.B. It’s a good chance.C. It sounds simple.D. It’s worrying.23. Which of the following does the writer suggest you do?A. Just act naturally.B. Don’t be shy.C. Change yourself.D. Pay attention to others.24. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. tell students about a new experienceB. help students that are going to senior high schoolC. tell students how to make full use of timeD. teach students how to organize themselvesBAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence(自信).Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback(反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficultie s when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."25. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praiseB. increase self-confidenceC. become strongD. do better in their studies26. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.A. make them live more happilyB. let them do more difficult workC. help them do better in schoolD. encourage them to improve27. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. Children don’t know what they’re really good at.C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.D. Duke thinks praise is more important than fin ding children’s strengths.28. The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to _________.A. the effectB. the praiseC. the advantageD.the confidenceCHi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father isdead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the ma n was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are coincidences(巧合). Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.29．According to the passage, the writer believes that the sixth sense is ________. A. in existence B. imaginative C. not real D. impossible30．ESP lets people know _________.A. about events before they happenB. about events after they happenC. about events that are happening some distance awayD. A and C31．By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.A. learn how people tell liesB. know more about human dreamsC. know more about human mindD. learn how strange things happenDIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a disaster or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages — bread, vegetables and other things — not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on —“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(犁雪车) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.32. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a disasterD. for which snow is a wonder33. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter34. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important35.The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs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。

I had one line at the end, when I beat the sleeping rabbit to the finish line: slow and steady wins the race.I’ve always felt that those words guided my life. I was never the fastest; I was rarely an A student. But as the careers of others paused, I kept going. My goal was always the same: to learn more this year than I had last year.When I see slow students, that’s what I think of. Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime, and leave the “quick”students far behind? The goal of education is not to gain as much knowledge as quickly as possibly, but to gain useful knowledge and keep it. As such, I would prefer a slow, thoughtful student to a fast, superficial one. As a teacher, I don’t care how “fast” someone learns something. We process information differently. To use myself as an example, I tended to be comparatively slow in my advanced undergraduate mathematics classes. In retrospect, I’ve come to realize that one of the ways I learn is “error-based”. That is, I effectively learn by making mistakes.I seldom worried about “slow learners” when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn. Like in so many other professions, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops, and never should.4. For what purpose did the author write the first paragraph?A. To share with readers one of his unforgettable childhood experiences.B. To prove that slow learners tend to have a better long-term memory.C. To introduce the topic that continuous efforts are the final marker of success.D. To show the author’s preference for the role of the turtle.5. Which of the following statements is true according to the author’s opinion?A. Learning, like a career, or like life, is a marathon, not a sprint.B. Being too slow means you miss out in today’s competitive world.C. The more knowledge a student can learn as quickly as possibly, the better the teaching is.D. Slow learners actually learn better when it comes to medical research.6. Which quality in a student is most appreciated by the author?A. The ability to pick up a particular subject or topic more quickly.B. The determination to carry on a lifelong learning.C. The natural flexibility at solving problems.D. The willingness to try different new things.7. Which of the following best describes the author’s belief?A. Constant dripping wears away a stone.B. Content is better than riches.C. More haste, less speed.D. Learning makes a good man better and an evil man worse.CIT IS NOT a fair fight, but it is a fight that many countries will face all the same. Left to itself, the covid-19 pandemic doubles every five to six days. When you get your next issue of The Economist, the outbreak could in theory have infected twice as many people as today. It’s high time that some comprehensive action should be taken as the pandemic threatens an economic crisis as well as a health crisis.While most governments across the world, with no specific medicine or vaccine (疫苗) available at the moment, are being left flat-footed, WHO has learned lessons from China for how health-care systems should cope. Governments should also figure out how to protect people and companies. The first task is to get manpower and money to hospitals. China sent 40,000 health workers to Hubei province. This week the World Bank made $ 12bn available for covid-19.Just as important is to slow the spread of the disease by getting patients to come forward for testing when outbreaks are small and possible to contain. But this can be hard as in many countries, including much of America, where 28m people are without health coverage and many more have to pay for a large slug（一大块）of their own treatment. People also need to isolate themselves if they have mild symptoms.Better to support the economy directly, governments can help affected people and firms pay bills and borrow money if they need it. For individuals, the priority should be paying for health care and providing paid sick leave. For companies that lose income, they will still face tax and wage bills. Easing that burden for as long as the epidemic lasts can avoid needless bankruptcies and lay-offs. Authorities’ paying medical bills and funding banks to lend to firms that are suffering can definitely help.There is a tension. Health policy aims to spare hospitals by lowering the epidemic’s peak so that it is less intense, if longer-lasting. Economic policy, by contrast, aims to minimize how long factories are shut and staff absent.Eventually governments will have to strike a balance.8. How often is The Economist updated?A. Daily.B. Weekly.C. Monthly.D. Yearly.9. What does the underlined word “flat-footed” mean in the second paragraph?A. Scared.B. Helpless.C. Careless.D. Embarrassed.10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The tension prevents the health policy and economic policy from working well.B. Health policy may make this pandemic last longer.C. Economic policy focuses on helping factories reopen as fast as possible.D. Governments should try to solve the contradiction between health policy and economic policy.11. What can be the best title for this passage?A. An unfair fight.B. The right medicine for the world economy during pandemic.C. Measures to protect people and economy.D. The tension between health policy and economic policy.DThis season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, this is the most casualties (伤亡) from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. “The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,” Hausfather added on Friday.Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires. Practices like controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched (派遣).12. What are the numbers about in Paragraph 1?A. The causes of Australian fires.B. The results of Australian fires.C. The damaged areas of Australian fires.D.
