高二英语月考试题及答案-南昌市第二中学2014-2015学年高二下学期第二次月考

南昌二中2014—2015学年度下学年第二次考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷（共105分）第一部分：听力（共20小题；满分30分)第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs an American artist and writer of children’s books, Tasha Tudor’s art and nineteenth-century lifestyle have fascinated adults and children for decades. She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature. When people talk about her creativity in artwork, she said, “I do it to support my dogs and my four children.” Her great publishing record, the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years, and her admirers have no effects on her at all.Much of Tasha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime. “I love winter. It’s delightful,” she says. “I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home. If I’m snowed in, I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early, deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter, and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(梦幻)way of life, it’s not surprising that Tasha’s Christmas is a storybook holiday. She hangs flowers over the front door. Her tree comes from the woods, and it goes up on Christmas Eve, lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great- grandmother’s co llection that dates from 1850. In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls; so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree. “Of course, it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,” she has written. Small, handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year, Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect, that she hasagain ignored the twentieth century, and that the magic continues. And for the rest of us，here’s a bit of advice, Tasha style: “Nowadays, people are so restless. If they took some tea and spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊) in the evening listening to light music, they might enjoy life mo re.”21. Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to ________.A. read stories to her grandchildrenB. show her DIY snowshoes to kidsC. stay indoors working during readingD. enjoy bicycle tiding along the path22. From the passage, we can learn that Tasha’s life is ________.A. modern and fashionableB. simple and fantasticC. lonely and hardD. adventurous and inspiring23. Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha?A. She cared little about fame.B. She created an animal fund.C. She wrote many stories for magazines.D. She bought presents for her relatives.24. In which section of a paper can you probably read the article?A. Travel.B. Sports.C. Economy.D. People.BIn today’s world of cellphones，mini laptops and MP3 players, most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common，is time running out for the 500-year-old watch？According to some consumers，yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”．Many young adults agree—and use their cellphones to tell time. Louis Galie, a senior vice president at Timex，said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s.By then，they are willing to spend money on a quality timepiece that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago，watchmakers boasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory business. And for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications”—features that go beyond simple timekeeping—are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a lot of features that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers, compasses，lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example，Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s po pular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a futuristic(未来主义的)bracelet than a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker, EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch. Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays，everyone has the same kind of gadget (小玩意儿)in their bags，so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interesting wrist fashion last？Only time will tell!25．Why aren’t watches popular with young people as before?A．Because watches cannot keep good time as cellphones, mini laptops and MP3 players.B．Because watches are featured by the disadvantages of simple function.C．Because watches are too expensive to afford.D．Because watches don’t have beautiful appearance as other modern timetelling tools. 26．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Watch-making is facing a survival crisis challenge.B．Watch-making is faced with the developing opportunity.C．Watch-making becomes the sunrise industry.D．Watch-making has a specific development target.27．It can be implied that ________.A．people will gradually lose interest in watches as they grow olderB．watchmakers scarcely change the development strategy for watchesC．today’s watches are better than those in the past in qualityD．customers used to be more concerned with the quality of a watch than with its image 28．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Watches and Teenagers B．The History of WatchesC．The Accuracy of Watches D．Watches Tell More than TimeCList of winners of 71st Golden Globe Awards29. Who wins the best film comedy actor title at the 71st Golden Globe Awards?A. Matthew McConaugheyB. Leonardo DiCaprioC. Amy AdamsD. Jared Leto30. If you want to see your favorite star Elisabeth Moss, you should watch________.A. Blue JasmineB. Breaking BadC. House of CardsD. Top of the Lake31. Which of the following is the best TV film at the 71st Golden Globe Awards?A. The Great BeautyB. Mandela：Long Walk to FreedomC. Behind the CandelabraD. Dancing on the EdgeDMany of the world's famous cities are known by some special names. Paris is known as the "City of Light". Hong Kong is the "Wall Street of Asia". One small city in Pennsylvania may bethe sweetest place on Earth. That is town of Hershey, which is known as the "Chocolate Town". It is named after Milton Hershey, the founder of the largest chocolate factory in the world.Milton Hershey built his first candy factory in the early 1900s. At the time, Hershey was developing a technique for milk chocolate. Eventually he succeeded. Hershey was also the first to produce individually wrapped chocolate bars. His factory grew and produced more and more types of chocolate. To this day, Hershey's chocolate factory is the largest in the world. Hershey used his success to give back to the community. He built a town around the factory for his employees. He gave streets fun names like Chocolate Avenue. He built schools, parks and shops. This generous man gave millions of dollars to charity. He built an amusement park with rides, trains for children and a swimming pool. Over the years, the town grew. People from near and far came to visit this special town, whose beauty and fame continue to attract lots of tourists. Every year close to three million tourists visit the Chocolate Town.Today visitors to the city can enjoy a variety of attractions and activities. The Hershey chocolate factory offers tours. Visitors can learn all about chocolate and how it is made. A gift shop sells all kinds of chocolate and toys made to look like chocolate. Even if you don't buy a souvenir, there is one thing that is impossible to forget: the wonderful aroma of fresh chocolate everywhere. In this special place even the streetlights are shaped like chocolate.Another attraction is the Hershey Hotel. It has an unusual mineral spring where guests can enjoy a variety of special treatments. The treatments all have one thing in common: chocolate.32. What's the best title for the passage?A. Milton HersheyB. World's Famous CitiesC. The Chocolate TownD. Pennsylvania Chocolates33. What was Milton Hershey developing when he built his first factory?A. Public structure.B. An amusement park.C. Attractions for the community.D. A technique for milk chocolate.34.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from ―another earth‖? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside —looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 21．―ABC‖ in this passage means ―____________‖.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22．Chinese in Western countries are called ―banana persons‖ because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23．N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A .

Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24．This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, ―China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.‖Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC．there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD．the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The person who caused the problem B．The mediator himselfC．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 27．This passage mainly talks about _______.A．how to make B．the special functions of the teahouses C．how to open a teahouse D．the special way of enjoying teaCBeijing is facing severe (严重的) traffic problems."Roads are wider now, but traffic jams (堵塞) often happen every day. " Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2007, there were a few subway lines in Beijing. There was only line 1, line 2, line 13 and Batong Line. But now there is line 5, line 10, line 4, the airport fast -track and the Olympic branch line. And there will be 13 subway lines under construction in Beijing at the same time at the end of this year.The opening of the new subway line is convenient to tourists. Before, arriving in Beijing, many visitors would usually take a taxi to interesting places of Beijing. Today, as soon as people get off the plane, they can take the Airport Express Line, going to different interesting places through the subway lines. The government also strives to open a new line each year from now until 2015. The subway of Beijing reached 300 kilometers in 2010 and it will reach 561 kilometers in 2015.Miss Xiao, who lives in South Water Bridge and works at Hepingli, said that traveling by her car still took her at least one hour from home to work because of traffic jams. Now, because of the railway line 5, Miss Xiao can arrive at her office in less than haft an hour.28.What are the traffic problems in Beijing now?A. Drivers drive too fast.B. Traffic jams often happen.C. Roads are not wide enough.D. Traffic lights are always broken29.Why is the opening of the new subway line convenient to tourists?A. Because the new subway line is very interesting.B. Because the new subway line's ticket is very cheap.C. Because visitors can take the subway to many different interesting places.D. Because people in Beijing can cost less money than that before.30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It takes Miss Xiao less time to get to her workplace by railway line 5.B. Visitors like to take a taxi in Beijing better.C. The subway of Beijing will reach 300 kilometers in 2015.D. There will be 15 subway lines in Beijing at the end of the year.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A. People in Beijing invented high -speed trains.B. Railway lines in Beijing only covers some areas.C. Beijing government has done something to make traffic jams less.D. Beijing welcomes visitors from different places.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances（环境）don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical（可行的）. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t p ut in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable（难以忍受的）pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking th at way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined wor d ―that‖ refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.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。

高中英语真题-三校2014-2015学年度高三第一学期期末联考

高中英语真题:三校2014-2015学年度高三第一学期期末联考第I卷（选择题）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIf you go to , you’ll find a strange palm-like structure, which is called WarkaWater. It gathers water from fog and condensation（水珠）and is invented by an Italian firm.When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andrea s Vogler first visited in 2012, they were shocked to see women and children forced to walk miles to access what, for them, had always been within easy reach, water.Only 34 percent of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water s upply. Some travel for up to six hours a day to fetch some or, e ven worse, has to use pond water polluted by human waste, su bject to the spread of disease.Worldwide, about 768 million people—two and a half times the population—don’t have access to safe drinking water. So just imagine if we could just pull water out of thin air? That’s what Vittori and Vogl er asked once they saw the severe problem and promised to ta ke action. Their firm, Architecture and Vision, has since come u p with WarkaWater, a grand palm-like structure that may look like something you’d see in a moder n art museum, but it’s been designed to harvest water from the air.WarkaWater, which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree, is com posed of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily, can be easily l owered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level. Collecting water through condensation is hardly a new te chnique, but the creators of WarkaWater say their tree-inspired design is more effective, maximizing surface and perfe cting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.Western organizations have been working to provide clean wat er access in Africa for decades, so WarkaWater joins a very lon g list of earlier attempts. So far, high-tech solutions, like the once promising Playpump, have failed,mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.This is where WarkaWater stands apart—a lower-tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.1. What does the underlined phrase “subject to” in the third par agraph most probably mean?A. Owing toB. Opposite to C. Sensitive toD. Giving riseto2. WarkaWater is designed mainly to ______.A. gather clean water efficientlyB. reduce water supply costsC. simplify maintenanceD. preserve water supplies3. According to Paragraph 6, what caused Playpump to fail?A. Lack of advanced technologyB. Unsuccessful designsC. Lack of money and maintenance issuesD. Unreasonable structuresBEDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) —they arrived before polling stations even opened, dressed for th e school day in striped ties and blazers, dress slacks and tartan skirts, book bags over their shoulders —and, for the first time in British history, ballot (选票) cards in hands on September 18.Scotland’s experiment of allowing more than 109,000 Scottish t eenagers aged 16 to 17 took part in the Scottish independence referendum (公民投票), in which Scotland finally decided not to become independe nt.The age group only made up a small part of the 4.29 million tot al voters, but they have “demonstrated how the youngest voters can be some of the most enthusiastic in a mature democracy”, commented The Associated Press. Casting their ballots, they w ere “proud and passionate” to help their nation decide whether t o break away from the after 307 years in union.At age 16, Scottish residents are allowed to join the military, get married, and work. Eighteen is the legal drinking age, as well a s the ’s voting age. But in 2013, Scottish law was changed to all ow 16- and 17-year-olds in to vote in the referendum. The government pushed for t he change because “younger voters are more likely to vote with their hearts, not their heads—and embrace fundamental change by voting for the pro-independence Yes campaign”, NBC News said.But when the decision was handed down, some worried that high school students might not be as informed as adult voters. However, many experts said that assumption was wrong.Professor Jan Eichhorn of the of insisted that Scottish teena gers were as likely to read newspaper articles and campaign m aterials as their parents. They would simply get these resources through social media.“There’s no evidence to suggest that they’re less capable tha n adults of voting, from a research point of view,” Eichhorn told NPR.Scotland’s move to let younger teenagers vote in the referen dum has led to a discussion about whether the voting age ough t to be lowered to 16, both in the UK and the .“By 16, most people have about as stable an ideology (思想意识) as they are going to get,” Professor Jason Brennan of Geor getown University wrote for CNN, arguing that the US should al so think about allowing younger US citizens to vote.4. The Scottish independence referendum was held on Sept. 18 ______.A. to encourage youngsters to be concerned with politicsB. to lower the minimum voting age to 16 for the referendumC. to decide whether Scotland would become independent from theD. to elect who would be the new leader of5. According to the passage, we can learn ______.A. Scotland gained its independence from the eventually.B. It is possible for the to lower the voting age to 16 in the futur e.C. All the people in thought highly of the government’s decision to lower the voting age to 16.D. Scottish teenagers aged 16 are allowed to join the military, g et married, work and drink alcohol now.6. What does the underlined word “embrace” (in para.4) probabl y mean?D. Approve ofA. Admit toB. Object toC. Know about7. What is Jan Eichhorn’s opinion of the Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17?A. They are as informed and capable as adults of voting.B. They make no difference to the voting result.C. They are too enthusiastic to make informed decisions.D. They are unwilling to be involved in the decision of the count ry’s future.CNowadays, girls are so mean to each other. Many girls are bec oming the victims of the harmful behaviors of the female bully. Emma Tracey was a popular 17-year-old and a well-liked athlete who had already won a soccer scholarship to colle ge. But none of that stopped Emma from becoming the target of online girl on girl bullying (欺凌). Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant co mments via the latest social networking site called www.formspr .In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all agre ed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to E mma’ death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor .Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique. A 2010 study conduct ed by the states: “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as l ikely to have attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victi ms of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the cr iminals.”Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that occur as a r esult of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also incr ease social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depr essed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unki nd towards each other?A term known as relational aggression may best describe the c ause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and po pularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls wi thin the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the lea der’s directive the girls within the clique will spread rumors and l ies and annoy other girls continuously.The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anony mity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of me mbers within her clique. Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.8. The example of Emma Tracey is given to show .A. popular youth are not easy to become the target of bullyingB. today’s youth don’t like to study any moreC. suicide is a serious problem among youthD. cyberbullying is quite common among teenagers9. The bullying will quickly go to cyberbullying mainly because .A. it’s free to post comments onlineB. the bullies don’t have to give their names onlineC. it will not attract much attentionD. it will not affect their real life10. Which of the following is NOT the cause of bullying?A. Lack of safetyB. The twisted loyalty of members within a cliqueC. Jealousy of othersD. Trying to be friendly11. We can infer from the last paragraph that a female bully .A. has strong self-confidenceB. has strong leadership skillsC. is actually weak insideD. is usually good at studyDAs we enter into this new age of cities in which more than half the world’s population will live in an urban area, we must also ta ke a hard look at how we will care for the significant increase in our elderly population. While many will be living longer, they will be doing so with age-related health issues and disease. Of special concern, the num ber of people living with dementia（痴呆）worldwide is set to treble by 2050. Alzheimer’s Disease Internat ional reports that 44 million people live with the disease now but that figure will increase to 135 million by 2050. With this added pressure to health systems, technology is the critical factor to s uccess.In , , a retired engineer, Mr. Helge Farsund cares for his wife, K ari. Kari, who had been an intensive-care nurse who served with the Red Cross in , was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s three years ago. Looking to live as normal a lif e as possible as K ari’s condition progressed, they are participati ng in a pilot project studying how a smart home powered by sen sors enables people with Alzheimer’s Disease to stay in their ho me.The system is created by Abilia. At the center of the system is a n iPad-like device. The screen has Skype, which allows carers to regul arly check in with patients．Some l,000 people now have the system installed in their home s, and 25 of them, including the Farsunds, are testing the latest version, which combines the screen with wirelessly connected s ensors around the house to detect motion. If a door is opened o r left open, or if the stove is left on, the system alerts patients a nd caretakers of danger. The planner also provides spoken rem inders about daily tasks, such as when they need to take medici ne and events like birthdays as well as enabling caretakers and family members to check in remotely via Skype.“With this kind of system, it allows people to take care of the mselves, which is the most important thing,” says vice president Oystein Johnsen. For him, any move to improve city life needs to begin with people. “Smart cities are coming and they need to start with individuals in their own home,” he says. “It also saves the government money. In Norway it cost one million Norwegia n krone (￡100,000) per year to have someone in a home, while this system costs 15,000. That is a lot of money to save.”12. Which section of BBC news is most likely to include this pas sage?A. HealthB. Entertainment C. TechnologyD. Business13. The case of Helge and Kari Farsund in the second paragraph serves to .A. expose a social problemB. introduce the main topicC. show sympathy to the eld erlyD. arouse medical workers’ i nterest14. Which of the following functions can all be performed by the system?① To warn people of possible dangers ② To help ch eck in with patients③ To offer people some medicine ④ To cure peop le of Alzheimer's⑤ To remind people of daily tasks ⑥ To play movi es like an iPadA. ①②⑤B. ②③⑤C. ①④⑥D. ③④⑤15. According to the last paragraph, Oystein Johnsen will appro ve that .A. smart cities should be hu man-basedB. the system should reduce its costC. mass production is still im possibleD. individuals are responsibl e for future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。

江西省南昌市三校高二1月联考英语试卷

2020-2021学年江西省南昌市三校高二1月联考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.It was my second day of school and it was raining heavily. I could not resist the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my desk. I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were halfway home. It was the last time I felt close to him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this thought. I was proud of it, for I felt independent and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought comfort from him. One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, watching me scratching the paper. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs patience. Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”I follow his advice for the next two words, but as I could see little improvement, I followed my own method----the fast way. His advice did not improve my writing but our relationship. As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his schooling in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in the town then, so he was considered to be a scholar. People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are useless to improve you anything for your future.You have to get an education to change the life for yourself.” As a result of his expectation, I have made it through high school and through college.1．How did the author first react to father’s suggestion?A．She found it hard to accept.B．She was confused about it.C．She accepted it.D．She doubted it.2．Why did the author feel depressed sometimes?A．She found her father never carried her.B．Her father never hugged her as other fathers did to their children.C．She was bothered much by the thought that her father never cared her.D．She never sought comfort from her father.3．We can infer from the passage that the author’s father______.A．is helpful to improving the author for her future.B．attaches great importance to education.C．pushes the author tightly.D．received little education.4．What was the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．to introduce her father.B．to demonstrate people her attitude toward life.C．to encourage people to follow their fathers’ suggestions.D．to show what matters to her personal development.Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.“People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks,” says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. “They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what’s difficult or boring, so they jump out,” he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain’s emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, “Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, countto five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly. This can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind torestoreyour focus.”Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of yourbehaviors.“Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness,”Mr. Bregman says.“You have to inform yourself that you’ve lost focus in order to do somethingabout it.” Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk.

Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color．In fact，it is an old wives tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying．Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives tale could be true．As one ages，the hairs on the head also age．In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while．The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled．Hairs on the head grow and eventually die．They are replaced，but in the process something else happens．When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment(色素)is also added to them．However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available．At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color．In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white．Many things are known to cause graying．and genetics is a very powerful factor．If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too．Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty．Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body．It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss．It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying．However，there is no sound evidence to support this．On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link：between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension．Does stress cause gray hair? There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations．12．The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means .

A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping timeB．The amount of food people eat and living environmentC．The amount of pigment and geneticsD．Genetics and the amount of water people drink三、信息匹配In the past few years, many people found themselves trying really hard to hold on to jobs that they may not have wanted. 16．.
