高二英语5月月考试卷 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共70分） ‎ 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（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Places to avoid travelling India The big difference in wealth and class may lead to some of the risk of crimes in this country. But according to John Gobbels, a chief officer for MEDJET(an international emergency organization ) it's medical safety that actually makes India so dangerous. He explains that the U. S. State Department gives the country Level 2 travel advisory status(Level 1 means you should exercise normal precautions（预防措施）；Level 4 is“ do not go”）‎ Hawaii Considering this destination is a very hot spot for honeymooners, it might be surprising to see the Big Island of Hawaii as a dangerous place to visit. The eruption of a volcano has put Kilauea in a state of emergency, with poisonous gas, lava flows, and earthquakes all a risk. You'll likely see special airline deals cancelled, so think twice before making this flight.‎ Acapulco This beach resort town on Mexico's Pacific coast isn’t exactly the white-sand party destination it once was. With a Level 4 travel advisory, Gobbels explains, it's in the same category as places like Iran, Syria, and North Korea, It's regarded as the murder capital of the country.‎ Cairo, Egypt According to a recent report from the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Cairo is considered the most unsafe city for women in the world. Even though the political tensions are easing in this area, according to Gobbels, sexual violence and cultural expectations make it extremely problematic, for both locals and visitors.‎ ‎1. According to John Gobbels, which is dangerous while travelling in India?‎ A. Personal belongings B. Travel insurance. ‎ ‎ C. Medical safety. D. Cultural difference .‎ ‎2. Which place mentioned above is especially dangerous for a woman tourist?‎ A. Cairo. B. India. C. Acapulco. D. Hawaii ‎3. What can be inferred from the text?‎ A . A Level 3 travel advisory indicates you can go with normal precautions B. Syria isn't a risky destination where you'll have a wonderful vacation.‎ C. The flights to Hawaii may be changeable due to the eruption of the volcano D. The political disorder in Cairo is responsible for its unsafety at present.‎ B ‎ ‎ If you ask most people what water tastes like, they’ll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly, asking another fruit fly, that question might have a different answer. ‎ ‎ To a fruit fly, water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals manage to use water in the right way. Water is very important to life, but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water, researchers may learn more about other living things.‎ According to the new study, a protein called PPK28 makes it possible for a fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues, fight disease and carry messages between cells. It’s not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit fly’s ability to taste water.‎ The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals (including humans) to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water. In the experiment, Cameron and his team compared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had had been disabled. The fruit flies were given a special chemical that would glow when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water, the PPK28 protein lit up — showing that it was in use. The fruit fly in particular is so interesting that some scientists are hard at work creating a complete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a fly’s neurons and help scientists understand how the neurons work together.‎ ‎4. How do most people feel when asked the taste of water?‎ A. Disappointed B. Frightened. C. Amused D. Disgusted.‎ ‎5. Why do scientists want to understand how the fruit fly knows water?‎ A. To decrease the number of the fruit fly. ‎ ‎ B. To know more about other creatures.‎ C. To manage to use water correctly. ‎ ‎ D. To describe the taste of water.‎ ‎6. What do we know about the PPk28 protein?‎ A. It can make humans taste salt. B. It enables the fruit fly to taste water. ‎ C. The fruit fly can’t live without it. D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.‎ ‎7. What will the scientists continue to work at?‎ A. Making the PPk28 protein. B. Telling more information about cells.‎ C. Creating maps of human brains. D. Studying the fruit fly’s neuron systems.‎ C Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary. Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the world’s first licensed armless pilot. ‎ The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't." Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in communications. Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license, to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses.‎ Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005. Cox earned her pilot’s certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet.‎ ‎“She's a good pilot. She's rock solid,” said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.  Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.‎ ‎ Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.‎ ‎8. What can we learn from the first paragraphs?‎ A. Oxford and Cambridge felt a little disappointed.‎ B. No armless people had got a pilot certificate before.‎ C. Jessica Cox wasn’t allowed to use the word “can’t”.‎ D. The word “can’t” have disappeared from all English dictionaries.‎ ‎9. What do you think of Jessica Cox?‎ A .She is a clever and stubborn girl. B. She is indeed a poorly educated girl.‎ C. She is positive and determined. D. She only takes interest in aircraft.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “prosthetic” mean in Paragraph 3?‎ A. artificial B. damaged C. unusual D. abnormal ‎11. After graduating from university, Jessica Cox _____.‎ A. suffered failure when searching for jobs. ‎ ‎ B. began to take care of herself in her daily life.‎ C. decided to use her feet as most people use hands. ‎ D. made a start to take training to become a pilot D Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride’s hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6.8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.‎ Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of “Baldy” made her feel like an abandoned child. “I didn’t want her to feel that she wasn’t like the other kids,” her mother said. “I tried covering her baldness, but the man-made hair was uncomfortable.” ‎ Then comes the school’s traditional “Crazy Hair Day” in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa’s baldness under the man-made hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker ，jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella smiled. “She’s so lovely.”‎ On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother’s encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa ‎ was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told people. “But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colorful butterflies and flowers.”‎ ‎12. Why was Gianessa different from other kids?‎ A. She was born bald. B. She had her head fully shaved.‎ C. She was talented in hair designing. D. She suffered from hair loss ‎13. How did others react to Gianessa’s disease?‎ ‎ A. Her doctor was quite optimistic. B. Her mother gave her man-made hair.‎ ‎ C. Her classmates were all considerate. D. Her school never offered her help.‎ ‎14. What could Gianessa do on the “Crazy Hair Day”？‎ A. She could show her personality. B. She could decorate her hair.‎ C. She could shop scrapbook-stickers. D. She could tease others.‎ ‎15. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. The man-made hair built up the girl’s confidence. ‎ B. The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.‎ C. The competition served as a way to make a change ‎ D. The disease was cured with mother’s love and care.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do you usually feel you're working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.‎ ‎♦ Study with a partner or in groups Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 16 ‎ ‎♦ Step into your teacher’s shoes Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” You have probably experienced a lot of your teacher’s tests and quizzes by now. 17 Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.‎ ‎♦ Paint pictures on the paper You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures. It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture. ‎ ‎18 ‎ ‎♦ 19 A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energetic.‎ ‎♦ Take breaks to relax your brain Your brain is like a muscle.

They haven't realized the meaning of being grateful. But they always get angry with their parent because they don't get what they want. My friend once told me news that a little girl went out of the house and refuse to return home as her parents did not give her enough pocket money. I was so shocking to hear it. I would never ask much from my parents because I knew it was not easy for him to make a living. And I always feel so thankful for that they have offered to me. If someone who gives me a hand when I am in need, I will remember him and if I real have a chance, I will pay him back. In short, it is a grateful heart that makes us become kind people and create a harmonious environment.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 随着人们生活水平的提高，“广场舞大妈”‎ 们掀起了一场广场舞热潮。针对这一现象，不同的人有不同的观点，请你以广场舞(square dancing)为主题，完成一篇文章：‎ 内容要点： ‎ ‎（1）优点：一种健康的生活方式,保持健康和活力；结交朋友，消除孤独； ‎ ‎（2）问题：噪音污染；抢占地盘引发争执； ‎ ‎（3）你的看法 英语答案 第I 卷  第一部分 选择题（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-3 CAC 4-7 CBBD  8-11 BCAD 12-15 DBAB ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）16-20 GCFBA 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 21-25 DABBC 26-30 BDABB      31-35 CACDA      36-40 ADDAB 第II卷 非选择题（共50分）‎ 语法填空（共10小题，每题1.5分，共15分）‎ 第二节41．when 42．for 43．thanking 44．picked 45．it ‎46．has been 47．the 48．and 49．varieties 50．where 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 51. .

Most dancers say that this activity makes them ‎ look younger and feel more confident. However ,every coin has two sides. Some people argue that they make so much noise that people around feel uncomfortable. What’s worse, sometimes they even fight for a certain place to dance.‎ ‎ In my opinion, as a form of folk art, squaring dancing should be well protected. However, it may disturb daily activities of others, so limits and management is also required. Only in this way can we live a harmonious life.‎
