The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan province, dating back to roughly 1, 200 BC.‎ Chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes earth. This is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.‎ There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better bear some rules in mind eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered bad manners and rude, just as playing with a fork in a Western environment would be considered impolite. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to toy with one’s food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward resembles（像）the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have passed away. In addition, avoid tapping chopsticks on the edge of one’s bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Furthermore, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or linger in one’s mouth for too long.‎ Today, chopsticks serve many functions besides as tableware. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, ‘chopsticks’ reads ‘kuaizi’, which means to have sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one’s memory, increases finger flexibility and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character printing and brush painting. ‎ ‎21. We probably find this passage in _________.‎ A. a science fiction B. a magazine C. a travel guide D. an advertisement ‎22. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks. B. Different standards to use chopsticks. ‎ ‎ C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks. D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks.‎ ‎23. The author probably agrees that _________.‎ ‎ A. chopsticks can help maintain an adequate food supply ‎ B. stabbing food with chopsticks is strictly forbidden in China ‎ C. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally accepted ‎ D. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticks B ‎ Recently, Kevin Smith, the director of Clerks and Chasing Amy, got kicked off of a Southwestern Airlines flight for being too fat. He used the social media tool Twitter to take pictures of himself in a seat, and criticized the airline’s decision. In reality, most airlines have had policies for ‎ “customers of size” for the past 25 years, but few airlines have used these rules because they don’t want the negative publicity.‎ ‎ While it is very politically incorrect to look down on people because of their age, sex, race, or religion, many people believe that obese people are discriminated（歧视）against all the time. For an extremely large person, it is very difficult to get around on normal-sized public transportation, such as buses or subways. Flying is not much easier because the seats are small even for a regular person, and airlines have been squeezing as many people as they can onto flights. ‎ With the combination of September 11 terrorist attack and the economic downturn, the airline business hasn’t been doing very well. This means that airlines are trying to squeeze every dollar out of flyers. Recently, they started charging fees for overweight luggage and extra carry-on bags. It makes sense financially to make an overweight person purchase two tickets if they can’t fit into one seat, but airlines have to be cautious when dealing with this problem. Usually, someone that is heavy is already embarrassed about their weight, and making them pay extra can violate（侵犯）their rights.‎ Many people believe that those who are overweight have a lack of willpower and should be treated accordingly. In fact, there are many diseases that cause people to be overweight. Discriminating against someone because they are overweight is morally wrong. For airlines to show prejudice against anyone is bad for business.‎ In conclusion, airlines should consider the special needs of their customers to earn repeat business. If they force obese passengers to buy two tickets for one flight, they not only discriminate them, but they may lose a lot of business as well. ‎ ‎24. Why is the director mentioned in the first paragraph?‎ A. To promote his movies. B. To ask him to lose weight.‎ C. To introduce the topic. D. To complain about the airline.‎ ‎25. Why do airlines tend to charge obese passengers two tickets?‎ ‎ A. Because they want them to lose weight.‎ ‎ B. Because they are facing financial problems.‎ ‎ C. Because they need to load more luggage and bags.‎ ‎ D. Because they prefer to protect regular passengers’ rights.‎ ‎26. What is the author’s opinion?‎ A. Overweight people deserve to be charged more.‎ B. Overweight people should have a stronger willpower.‎ C. It’s a good idea for airlines to charge less for a second ticket.‎ D. It’s bad practice for airlines to discriminate against obese people.‎ C On the first Friday of every month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases what’s known as the jobs report. It’s closely watched by economists, business leaders, investors and politicians because the report gives a sense of how the U.S. economy is doing. ‎ The government says the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs, better than what analysts and economists expected. Most of the new jobs were in the fields of healthcare, manufacturing, construction, as well as transportation and warehousing. The unemployment rate is a percentage of the U.S. workforce that doesn’t have a job. The report says it stayed the same in October 2018 as it did in September at 3.7 percent. That’s the lowest it’s been in 49 years, which is good news for workers and the economy. The report also finds that average wages increased. That’s significant because while the number of jobs has been growing for years now, wages have been a sticking point because they haven’t kept pace. ‎ In October, though, the Labor Department says wages grew by 3.1 percent. That’s their fastest pace in nine years. With the U.S. midterm elections set for Tuesday, President Donald Trump, a Republican, called the jobs report incredible and said Americans should keep it going by voting for Republicans. Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said “numbers will mean little when average Americans see their healthcare costs go up because of Republican actions”. So he wants people to vote for Democrats. Regardless of where folks stand politically, one interesting side effect of strong job growth is the challenge it creates for companies to get people to work for them. Consider what retailers (零售商) are doing to attract seasonal or temporary workers with Christmas less than two months away. ‎ ‎27. The jobs report is highly concerned in the U.S. because _________.‎ A. it interests politicians a lot B. investors want to get more profits C. economists expect to analyze the data D. it mirrors the economic condition of the country ‎28. The underlined phrase “a sticking point” in paragraph 2 probably means _________.‎ A. a goal easy to stick to B. a task important to perform C. a situation hard to adapt to D. a problem difficult to solve ‎29. What’s the attitude of Donald Trump towards the wage growth?‎ ‎ A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Indifferent. D. Reserved.‎ ‎30. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. The jobs report is made use of for political purposes. ‎ ‎ B. Chuck Schumer thought much of the wage growth.‎ ‎ C. Retailers are pessimistic about the sales during Christmas.‎ ‎ D. Temporary workers find it hard to find a job before Christmas.‎ 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。选项中有两项多余选项。‎ Open Hearts to Life We often close ourselves off when unlucky events happen in our lives. We try to reduce the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist. 　　　31　　We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life. The items listed below are the ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.‎ l Breathe into pain.‎ ‎ Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away. 　　32　 If we run away from sadness, it will get stronger and more real. By making use of our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.‎ l ‎ 　　　33　　 ‎ I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses（冲动）: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so — just a deep knowing that it had to get done. To start this process, take few deep breaths and then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then take action and evaluate the outcome.‎ l Spend time alone.‎ ‎ For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, family members, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? When you spend time in solitude, you’re free from the influences of other people, and can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. See where your thoughts take you. 　 　34　 　 ‎ l Get outside of yourself.‎ ‎ 　　　35　　 　After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it’s time to share that — not through telling others, but through being with others. When you’re in a group of people, try to give them your full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yourself. Appreciate their uniqueness, as if they are an extension of you. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.‎ A. Embrace the uncomfortable.‎ B. Ask your heart what it wants.‎ C. In the end, though, we can’t hide from ourselves.‎ D. We should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior.‎ E. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it．‎ F. The golden ticket here is to not let yourself become distracted; just see what it’s like to be alone.‎ G. This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Realizing that our family cat, Misty, had disappeared was a 36 experience for me.

We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece(杰作).‎ The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high-five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride! ‎ The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman’s once-proud carrot nose lay limp(无力的)and half-eaten. ‎ What had happened? We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn’t have anything taking away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him. ‎ The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn(草坪). For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we’d return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.‎ By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶) from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base (底座)of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies(破坏者)to come.‎ 注意： ‎ ‎1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Para 1:‎ Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Seeing their pained look, we couldn’t help laughing. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 求知中学2018学年第二学期第一次月考 高二英语参考答案：‎ ‎1-5 CABCA 6-10 ABCAB 11-15 CABCA 16-20 BABCB 36 ‎21~23 BAD 24~26 CBD 27~23 DDBA 31~35 CEBFG 36-55 ‎ BAACB ADCBC ACBCA DADAB ‎56. unpleasant 57. who 58. or 59. their 60. smells ‎61. to 62. probably 63. aged 64. the 65.

It turned out that there were three of them from our school. They sneaked up on our snowman and sneered. Taking their places on either side, they pulled back their legs to deliver powerful kicks. But the moment they hit the hard ice block of the base, sneers turned into shock, then agony and tears. They howled and cursed, gritting their teeth and stomping their feet. ‎ Seeing their pained look, we couldn’t help laughing. They were too funny as they hopped away holding their damaged feet. We just couldn’t contain our happiness and excitement. With a hearty laugh, we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from inside the house. “An eye for an eye! Justice done!” We yelled behind them. And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies. Ever since then, our snowman was kept guarded and intact until it happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories. ‎
