Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it seemed like a fine adventure.‎ I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home,” but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.‎ I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was beating wildly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.‎ I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”. It is true. In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.‎ ‎21.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?‎ ‎ A. Because he could watch TV all day.‎ ‎ B. Because he had many friends.‎ C. Because he could have fun in nature.‎ D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.‎ ‎22. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?‎ ‎ A. He thought he would be scolded by his parents.‎ ‎ B. He felt contradictory in mind.‎ ‎ C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.‎ ‎ D. He was unconscious.‎ ‎23.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?‎ ‎ A. Every effort is worthwhile. B. Always make choices on our own.‎ ‎ C. It’s our attitude that matters in our life. D. All roads lead home.‎ B ‎“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about complains over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations（规则） that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss (扔) it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.‎ Violators face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.‎ Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tonnes of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to examine carefully through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.‎ Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. People who don’t sort the waste.‎ B. People who argue with the monitors.‎ C. People who don’t throw the trash on time.‎ D. People who are against the regulations.‎ ‎25. What is the main direct environmental problem in Shanghai?‎ A. The massive traffic. B. The increasing garbage.‎ C. Lack of a recycling system. D. Lack of trash pickers.‎ ‎26. What makes the residents upset most about the rules?‎ A. Complex distinction among the four categories of trash.‎ B. Short scheduled time for tossing the trash.‎ C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.‎ D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.‎ C Most autonomous（自主的） vehicles test-driving in cities navigate（导航） by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy（精确度）. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.‎ Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.‎ The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.‎ This system assumes（假定） that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. “Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” Alexander Wyglinski, and electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”‎ ‎27. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?‎ A. They run in limited areas. B. Their maps are out-dated.‎ C. They fail in test-driving. D. Their guides are unreliable.‎ ‎28. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?‎ A. It includes accurate maps. B. It removes in-road obstacles.‎ C. It works by identifying the road. D. It features a smart phone app.‎ ‎29. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?‎ A. To confirm the test-drive results. ‎ B. To indicate further research areas.‎ C. To recognize scientists' achievements. ‎ D. To show the creativity of driverless cars.‎ ‎30. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.‎ B. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions. ‎ C. Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.‎ D. A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.‎ 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。　‎ Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist. 31 This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.‎ I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life. 32 — The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.‎ About midway through the day, I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative, I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind. 33 Even though I reminded myself of this truth, I couldn’t make the change.‎ As I stopped at a red light, I looked at the car in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye — It read “SUNZOUT”. This brought an immediate smile to my face. 34 And in the midst of the longest, darkest, coldest winter, this in itself was a blessing. But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle. The license plate on that car read “GROUCH”. This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud! Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my ‎ attitude. ‎ ‎ 35 I returned to work and share my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter at what I refer to as my “message from beyond”. I learned that day that when we’re feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of an active state, relief is only a prayer away!‎ A. The weather seemed to match my mood.‎ B. Pessimists think the opposite way, however.‎ C. However, even optimists can temporarily lose hope.‎ D. It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.‎ E. Do you think that the sunshine will spread throughout your life?‎ F. I felt my spirit lift as I made the decision to choose a positive attitude.‎ G. While I could not ignore the pain I was going through, I could choose to think positively.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共三节，满分60分)‎ 第一节　(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Years after graduation, I tried to maintain（维持） the little bit of French I learned in school, but eventually I was 36 that new languages are best learned when young and our ability to learn 37 with age.‎ However, before my 50th birthday, I signed up for（报名） French classes and was 38 in the class for basic level.

I’ve been taught by inspirational teachers from many corners of the world. Listening to the news as it is 52 to the people of France, I have a newer understanding of how something can look 53 different from another perspective. I’ ve learned a language is not just a set of 54 , but a way of thinking. But above all, I’ve learned it is never too 55 to learn something. ‎ ‎36. A. afraid B. annoyed C.aware D. amazed ‎37.

The term “niksen” origins from the Dutch word “niks”, 59 refers to “nothing”. Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating 60 the present moment. It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and 61 （allow) your mind to run free without expectation. In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your 62 （surround）or listening to music as long as it’s without purpose,” according to Time Magazine. Niksen sounds contrary (矛盾的) to the advice we 63 (give) as kids. Nowadays, we’re constantly told to stay busy and work 64 (hard) than everyone else. But niksen opposes (使相对) that mentality (心态).

It can motivate people to make very positive changes in their lives. Sometimes we have to be angry at injustice, at evil, or even at nature, before we can do what needs to be done to correct wrongs or make things better. But of course, that is not how we usually think of anger. Most people think of anger as an emotion we must keep under control. Parents tell a child to get control of him when the child shows anger. Children are sometimes sent to their rooms or punished for expressing anger in an excessive way. We may be angry with friends or at work, but we know it is usually inappropriate to show it. We have to control our anger or suffer what may be the negative consequences. Very early in life, we learn that anger is something that must be controlled. We learn this for a good reason. We know that uncontrolled anger can lead to fights, car accidents, and bad relationships with others, unacceptable social behavior, and many other problems. ‎ Many experts say that if one holds his anger in, it can even lead to severe mental ‎ and physical health problems. So what can we do to understand and calm this natural emotion that we call anger?‎ Experts offer many solutions to excessive and harmful anger. Some of these solutions include expressing your feelings and talking about what has caused the anger with someone who you trust and is a good friend, avoiding a situation that causes anger, beating a pillow, exercising more and many other methods. Whatever solution one chooses, it is good to know that by trying to find the solution to the problem of anger, the first step in the right direction to solving the anger problem has been taken.‎ 莆田第一中学高二10月月考 英语 参考答案 听力 ‎ 1-5 CABCA 6-10 CBBCC 11-15 ABBAC 16-20 BAACA 阅读 ‎ 21-23CBC 24-26DBB 27-30ACBD 31-35CAGDF ‎ 完形 ‎36-40CDBBC 41-45DBCAA 46-50DDCAB 51-55ABBAC 短文填空 ‎56. its 57. closely 58.how 59.which 60. on ‎ ‎61. allowing 62. surroundings 63. were given 64. harder 65. devoted ‎ 句子填空 ‎66.exposed 67.every time 68.was to blame 69.face the challenge ‎ ‎70.did make sense 71.clarify 72.divided into 73.consist of ‎ ‎74. broke away 75. keep your eyes open 76.
