辽宁省阜新市第二高级中学2019-2020学年 高二下学期第一次月考试题 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)‎ 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)‎ 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ A The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt. ‎ I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled (跛足的) and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon. ‎ The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn’t.‎ Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her.‎ I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.‎ ‎1.

The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have become “beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “Beat” youths don’t want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed so that they only want to live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch (葛优瘫)” and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples. ‎ Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we don’t have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, it’s not a negative thing. “Beat” never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自嘲) and pressure relief. ‎ In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold a positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”. Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic. ‎ Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never encountered before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more. ‎ ‎8. “The Beat culture” includes the following examples except that ‎ A. the young generation don’t feel like doing anything. ‎ B. the young generation consider themselves dead fish. ‎ C. the young generation in big cities are facing new challenges. ‎ D. the young generation enjoy the song I feel like having been drained. ‎ ‎9. Which word has the most similar meaning with “decadence” in Paragraph 2?‎ A. pessimism B. laziness C. sufferings D. loneliness ‎10. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Most people believe that with hard work, people can have their own day.‎ B. These days, young people suffer much more loneliness than their parents.‎ C. Social development does bring some pressure to the younger generation.‎ D. Chinese youths are more negative than young people in developed countries.‎ ‎11. What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A. “The Beat Culture” is popular among the Chinese youngsters.‎ B. How does “the Beat Culture” affect the Chinese youth.‎ C. “The Beat Culture” is positive to Chinese youngsters.‎ D. The Chinese youths are not the beat generation. ‎ D Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their ‎ smart-phones each day.‎ Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called "Moment-screen Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.‎ ‎“Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.‎ Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic.‎ ‎“If we hear more than once, 'Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?' it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.‎ Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.‎ She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smart-phones to communicate with other people she said.‎ ‎12.How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results?‎ A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.‎ C.Uninterested. D.Astonished.‎ ‎13.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5?‎ A.To encourage people to live a simple life.‎ B.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.‎ C.To show the importance of close relationships.‎ D.To ask people if they use phones too much.‎ ‎14.What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph?‎ A.We should make more face-to-face communication.‎ B.We can understand each other better using smartphones.‎ C.Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.‎ D.Smartphone usage improves the teens' emotional skills.‎ ‎15.Where is this text most likely from?‎ A.A diary. B.A guidebook.‎ C.A novel. D.A magazine.‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。‎ Many people are aiming and praying to be happy. What they do not know is that happiness is a journey and not a destination. 16. Here are some of the how-to's.‎ Be true to yourself. 17. You can withdraw with a person that cannot satisfy you. You can change a job. You can choose friends. If you think people, things and events in your life don't give you happiness, let them go and think of better ways.‎ ‎18. Think of good things and not the opposite. When you think you have less money in your pocket, don't say “I don't want to be poor". Say I want to be rich or I have more than enough money for everything. You'll notice you'll attract a lot of good things, gifts and good people in your life that could improve your financial aspect.‎ Start your day with hopes. By the time you wake up, stretch your muscles with hopes and thoughts of abundance in your brain. You'll get more energy than waking up with bad mood. 19.‎ Always smile. Nobody wants to be depressed people. 20. You cannot sell your products if you are not marketable enough. Smile makes some people's day. Smile and the world smiles with you.‎ Happiness depends on yourself. If you want happiness in your life, you have to prove it in your actions. To receive, feel and be happy is to do happy things to others.‎ A.Always think positive.‎ B.Be thankful for the journey you are taking.‎ C.It is so uncomfortable to be with people who love frowning.‎ D.Don't pretend if you do not like a situation.‎ E. Accept people for who they are and don't compare them with other better people.‎ F. Every good thing in the world is already here and it's up to us to work for happiness.‎ G. If you start your day with good mood, you'll end it with good mood.‎ 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ MacArthur's love for sailing dates back to when she was just 4 years old, when she first got the opportunity to have a try on a boat. “It kind of 21 me that this boat had everything we needed to take us anywhere in the world.
