‎2018-2019学年度第二学期月考 高二英语试题 一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)‎ A Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds Waiter/Waitress ‎ A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds.Not only can one earn 9-12 an hour,but they can also get the tips (小费).Most people that visit a restaurant don't just have good food.They come here to relax and have a good time.Besides serving food quickly,a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant. Work in a library ‎ If one is fond of books,working in a library is another suitable choice.Besides the pay is good,it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework.So on returning home,they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax.So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens,especially for school students. Internet jobs ‎ There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements,visiting sites and signing up with them.However,such online jobs don't pay well.A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys.These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/her opinions and ideas.Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.‎ 1. What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress? ______ ‎ A. It needs a period of training. B. It pays much more than other jobs. C. It can improve one's leadership skills. D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job.‎ 2. A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______ .‎ A. in a restaurant B. in a library C. on the Internet D. in an IT company 1. The writer wrote this text to ______ .‎ A. tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs B. advise teenagers how to choose a part-time job C. teach young people how to make lots of money D. introduce his/her experience of doing part-time jobs 2.

The teens usually express their true opinions.‎ B When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice. ‎ About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason." ‎ From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of themselves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!‎ 3. According to Paragraph 1, what does the author think more about? ______ ‎ A. John's state of health. B. John's PE marks. C. John's self-confidence. D. John's interest in sports.‎ 1. Why did John take part in the track team? ______ ‎ A. He had no tennis coach to train him. B. He had been an excellent runner. C. He was encouraged by his teacher. D. He liked running more than tennis.‎ 2. What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage? ______ ‎ A. To show the importance of encouragement. B. To build a close teacher-student relationship. C. To introduce a new way of sports training. D. To explain the value of sports and games.‎ 3. Who is the passage mainly written for? ______ ‎ A. Players. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Students.‎ C Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. ‎ It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.‎ 1. The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him ______ .‎ A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. through environment of one's family 2. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can ______ .‎ A. surely become a genius B. still become a genius if he isn't given good education C. reach his intelligence limits through his own efforts D. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings 3. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows ______ .‎ A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays 4. The best title of the passage can be ______ .‎ A. On Intelligence B. On Genius C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education on Intelligence D The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for Chinese people all around the world. The celebration usually lasts for 15 days. There is a lot to do. ‎ On the eve of the Spring Festival, family members get together and have big meals. Their favourite dish on this day is dumplings. ‎ Days before the Spring Festival, families will clean their homes. People think cleaning sweeps away bad luck. It makes the house ready for good luck. ‎ The colour red is everywhere during the Spring Festival. People think red is a happy colour and will bring them a bright future. People wear red, too. They decorate their homes with pieces of red paper. Kids get a lot of "hong bao". It is a red paper bag with money in it. Usually, older people give younger ones hong bao. They think it brings good luck. ‎ The Spring Festival is the time to make everybody happy. So don't say any bad words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people.For instance, you'd better not say any bad words like "death". Don't break anything. People think that it means your luck is running out. ‎ Also, don't borrow or lend money on these days. If you have borrowed money, return it before the Spring Festival.‎ 1. What do most people do on the eve of the Spring Festival?‎ A. Family members gather for a big meal. B. Friends eat dumplings together. C. They borrow money from friends. D. They give each other hong bao.‎ 2. Why do people clean their houses days before the Spring Festival?‎ A. Because they enjoy being clean. B. Because it is believed that cleaning will sweep away bad luck. C. Because they think it will bring happiness to others. D. Because it is thought that cleaning brings in money.‎ 3.

As I was taking off my beard one night, I said to my stage manager, "I   (35)   I could wear this Santa suit all the time. If I did, I could   (36)   be angry or mean."     It was only a passing thought, but it has   (37)   with me ever since. Santa Claus is the   (38)   part of me. He's not just the role I play; he's my role model.     Thirty years ago, I wanted so badly to be   (39)  . I wanted to be Scrooge because Scrooge was interesting.
