甘肃省通渭县第二中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二级第一次月考英语试题 满分：120分 ‎ 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，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。‎ A Einstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.‎ Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”‎ Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.‎ He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.‎ He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.‎ ‎1. The conductor thought Einstein .‎ ‎ A. wasn’t good at maths ‎ B. had good memory ‎ C. was either mad or strange ‎ D. liked to make trouble ‎2.

If you can find clothes that are the right size for you, and if they are ready to wear, you will probably buy them. They are called ready-made clothes. If you can not find clothes that are the right size, you will go to a tailor’s shop. A tailor is a man who makes clothes. He will measure you carefully and will then make clothes for you. Such clothes are called tailor-made clothes.‎ What do we call a man who is dressed badly? We call him a badly-dressed man. A woman who is dressed well is called a well-dressed woman.‎ What do you wear when it rains heavily? You wear a coat that will keep the rain out. Such a coat is called a raincoat.

You will find them useful.‎ If the floor, walls and ceiling of a room are made so that sound cannot pass through the wall, we say that the room is sound-proof.

If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.‎ ‎ The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.‎ ‎ The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.‎ ‎ If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.‎ ‎9. What’s the advantage (优势) of the small cars?‎ ‎ A.

The quality（质量） of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world.　Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence（影响) all over the country. However, the Washington Post and the New York Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain of Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed（详细的）accounts of national and international news，but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. ‎ Like the press（报刊） in most other countries，American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information，for they have to compete with the attraction of television.‎ ‎ Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few news papers support extremist（极端主义者） groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate（温和的). Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views，in order to give a balanced picture. ‎ As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible（负责任的）‎ ‎ or irresponsible，but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals（丑闻），for example，the Watergate Affair（水门事件）. ‎12.Which newspaper in the U.

One reason for this is biological.‎ One important biological factor that helps women liver longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.‎ ‎18 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means ‎ that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men,‎ ‎19 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 20 ‎ A. However, women, on average, liver longer.‎ B. The biological factor plays an important part.‎ C. Women are also helped by their female genes.‎ D. The female hormones helped by their female genes.‎ E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.‎ F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.‎ G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Teachers have sent an emotional letter to pupils nervously waiting for exam results.
