2017-2018学年甘肃省兰州第一中学高二上学期第一次月考（9月）英语试题

兰州一中2017-2018-1学期高二月考试题 ‎ ‎ 英语 ‎‎2017-9-29‎ 第I卷 I.阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，共30分）‎ 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。（每小题2分，满分20分）‎ A ‎ Do you like air travel with a service dog? Air travel makes some people very nervous. The crowds, the noise and flying itself can cause unease. But there are classes people can take to help them defeat their fear of flying. And, let me introduce similar training for service dogs that suffer the same problem ‎ Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for. You will see them working on buses, trains and other public transport systems. But the busy environment found at an airport can trouble even the best trained working dog.‎ ‎ People with disabilities depend on their dogs. They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas. They also need the dogs to remain calm on duty on the plane, even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training. The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found.‎ ‎ The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight. It is called a flight simulator, which was built for filming airplane scenes in movies.‎ ‎ Sandy Alexander has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog, Doc, to be always at his side. Mr. Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips. He says Doc did not like the bumpy part of the flight simulation( 模拟).‎ ‎ Dog trainer Mary Segall is with Canine Companions for Independence. It provides dogs for people with disabilities. Ms Segall says successful training is based on a simple rule: preparation.‎ ‎ " Dogs need to be exposed gradually and repetitively to stimulation, to the environment, to loud noises, to sounds and to other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis, they are able to act in a way that they're used to acting and that they don't get excitable."‎ ‎ Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feel much ‎ more at ease about future flight. Their dogs also seem ready for take-off.‎ ‎1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?‎ ‎ A. By asking a question. B. By introducing a novel.‎ ‎ C. By comparing fear of flying. D. By giving an example.‎ ‎2. Why is Sandy Alexander's example given in Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. Because he likes dogs. B. Because his dog is clever.‎ ‎ C. Because he will play a role in a film. ‎ ‎ D. Because the author wants to develop the following paragraphs.‎ ‎3. From the last paragraph we can draw a conclusion that ________.‎ ‎ A. the training is very easy ‎ ‎ B. service dogs don't like flying with their owners ‎ ‎ C. service dogs adapt themselves to the stimulation slowly.‎ ‎ D. dog owners are satisfied with training ‎ ‎ ‎ B ‎ It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.‎ ‎ Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-hearted drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave, or thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.‎ ‎ However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical example is the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.‎ ‎ An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly ‎ join in traffic stream without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time that all of us took this message to heart.‎ ‎4. According to the writer, a good driver should __________.‎ ‎ A. beat back when forced to face rude driving ‎ B. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it ‎ C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel ‎ D. encourage children to cross the roads whenever they want to ‎5. Troubles on the road are often caused by _______.‎ ‎ A. great speed B. traffic jams ‎ C. terrible road conditions D. the behaviors of the drivers ‎6. It is not always right for drivers to ________.‎ ‎ A. master roadmanship B. create atmosphere of good will ‎ C. encourage old ladies to cross the road ‎ D. give a friendly nod to show politeness ‎7. What's the best title of the passage above?‎ ‎ A. Road Politeness B. Traffic Jams ‎ C. Good Manners D. Modern Drivers C ‎ Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.‎ ‎ The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.‎ ‎ Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks."They may ‎ either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."‎ ‎ Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.‎ ‎ Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."‎ ‎8. The underlined expression "parental involvement" in paragraph 1 probably means _______.‎ ‎ A. parents' participation in children's education ‎ B. parents' expectation on children's health ‎ ‎ C. Parents' plan for children's future ‎ D. parents' control over children's life ‎9. What is the major finding of Robinson's study?‎ ‎ A. Parents are not able to help with children's homework.‎ ‎ B. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.‎ ‎ C. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.‎ ‎ D. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.‎ ‎10.The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should _______.‎ ‎ A. help children realize the importance of schooling ‎ B. take a more active part in school management ‎ C. set a specific life goal for their children ‎ D. spend more time improving their own lives 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。[]‎ Reasons Why Physical Education is Important in School ‎ Are you looking for information about the importance of physical education in schools and why it should be emphasized?
