Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the belief：to enjoy every second of every minute every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.‎ Boys are found everywhere—on top of, under，inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.‎ When you are busy, a boy is a troublemaker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly(果冻), or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.‎ A boy is a mixture—he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion(消化) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull(公牛), the violence of a firecracker(爆竹), but when you ask him to make something，he has five thumbs (拇指) on each hand.‎ He likes ice cream, knives, saws(锯), Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, companies，schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties，barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.‎ Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs, and breezes(微风). Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty(生锈的) knife, a half eaten apple, a threefoot rope, six cents and some unknown things.‎ A boy is a magical creature—he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered(垮掉的) pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad”‎ ‎21．The whole passage is in a tone(调子) of________.‎ A．humor and affection B．respect and harmony C．ambition and expectation D．confidence and imagination ‎22．Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?‎ A．He has altogether five fingers. B．He is slow，foolish and clumsy.‎ C．He becomes clever and smart. D．He cuts his hand with a knife.‎ ‎23．According to the writer，boys appreciate everything in the following except________.‎ A．ice cream 　B．comic books C．Saturday mornings D．Sunday schools B Samuel Osmond is a 19yearold boy student from Cornwall‎, ‎England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.‎ Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the ‎ wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studied law and music.‎ Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note.” says Samuel.‎ Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”‎ However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.‎ Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.‎ ‎24．What is special about Samuel Osmond?‎ A．He has a gift for writing music. B．He can write down the note he hears.‎ C．He is a top student at the law school. D．He can play the musical piece he hears.‎ ‎25．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?‎ A．Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.‎ B．Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.‎ C．Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.‎ D．Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.‎ ‎26．What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?‎ A．He became famous during a special event at his college.‎ B．He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.‎ C．He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.‎ D．He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.‎ ‎27．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?‎ A．The Qualities of a Musician B．The Story of a Musical Talent.‎ C．The Importance of Early Education D．The Relationship between Memory and ‎ Music C French fries are served hot，either soft or crispy，and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack. They commonly appear on the menus of diners，fast food restaurants，pubs，and bars. They are usually salted and may be served with ketchup，vinegar，or other local specialties，depending on the country. French fries are very common fast food dish in Europe.‎ But this year，a poor potato harvest in Europe this summer could mean French fries are up to three centimeters shorter than usual. The poor harvest is because of the very hot summer Europe had. There were record hot temperatures in many countries. The heat wave caused a lack of rain，which meant farmers produced a lot fewer potatoes than they normally do. Pierre Lebrun，a spokesman from a potato growers’ association in Belgium，said farmers grew 25 percent fewer potatoes than normal. The effect o f this is that potato prices are up and the average size of potatoes is smaller.‎ Belgium‎ is one country where the French fries are very popular. There are over 5,000 eateries which serve and specialize in fries in Belgium. Belgians go there and enjoy themselves at mealtime. They love fries so much that there is a campaign to rename them “Belgian fries” instead of “French fries” because Belgians say the fry was invented in their country. Belgium is one of the largest exporters of frozen fries in the world. It exports around 2.3 million tons of them every year. Mr. Lebron explained why fries would be shorter. He said，“Generally，to have long fries，we work with potatoes with a diameter of more than ‎50 mm. Then you get fries of 8 to ‎9 cm. This time，as the potatoes are smaller，the fries will be shorter.” ‎ ‎28．From the first paragraph we can learn French fries_________.‎ A．can be served only at dinner B．can be served in different ways C．can’t be ordered in a popular bar D．can’t be served as snack in ‎Europe ‎29．Why are the French fries shorter than usual?‎ A．The business man wants to make more money.‎ B．The cold weather reduced the production of the potatoes.‎ C．People don’t like French fries any more for healthier life.‎ D．The high temperatures in this summer make the potatoes smaller.‎ ‎30．The underlined word “eateries” in Paragraph 3 refers to“_________”．‎ A．parks B．restaurants C．supermarkets D．shopping malls 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。‎ If you have ever been in a school play or ever made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone or something else. __31__ .‎ In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2,200 B.C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. __32__ To the dance was gradually added pantomime (哑语)—the imitation of movements and gestures—as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.‎ While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom.__33__.‎ Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide.__34__A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.‎ ‎__35__Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.‎ A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.‎ B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.‎ C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.‎ D. Historical records show that this desire is as old as civilization itself.‎ E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.‎ F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.‎ G. As a result, they had little opportunity to show their individual personalities.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more.

Mary and her classmates were chatting noisily with excitement as their school bus entered the zoo parking lot. Today，Mary’s class was going on a field trip to the zoo to learn more about the animals and their natural habitats.‎ ‎“Before you leave the bus，please make sure you have your partner!” Mrs. Brown announced. To make sure no one got lost in the zoo，each student had a companion. Mary’s companion was named John. John loves animals and was also excited to go to the zoo. But sometimes，John does not follow the rules and gets in trouble. Mary hoped that today，John would follow the rules so they would not get in trouble.‎ While the rest of the students got off the bus，Mary and John quickly ran off to explore.‎ ‎ They found the exhibits for many different kinds of animals and learned a lot about their natural habitats. They saw the elephants playing and they saw giraffes eating. They saw the polar bears sleeping and the monkeys leaping. Mary asked John：‎ ‎“John，what is your favorite animal？”‎ ‎“I think I like chimpanzees best. They have a lot of energy，just like me! What animal do you like，Mary？”‎ ‎“I love polar bears! I think their lifestyle in the Arctic is very interesting.”‎ A few hours later，Mary and John started to feel hungry. They made their way back to the zoo entrance to eat lunch at the Rainforest Café. The Rain forest Café is both Mary and John’s favorite restaurant because there is an aquarium inside. The restaurant is also famous for its chocolate cake，which Mary ordered for dessert after they had finished their lunch.‎ As Mary was finishing her cake，John excused himself to go to the restroom. About ten minutes later，an alarm suddenly began to go off and a voice came over the loud speaker，“Attention! Someone has opened the chimpanzee exhibit! Some chimpanzees have escaped！”‎ People were screaming and starting to run. Mary looked for John，but he was nowhere to be found.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2．至少使用5个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。‎ Paragraph1：‎ As more and more people ran out of the zoo，Mary began to think___________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph2：‎ As Mary raced up the path to the animal exhibits，she stopped______________________________‎ 河北承德第一中学第一次月考高二试题英语答案 选择题部分 听力部分：‎ ‎1~5 CCBBC 6~10 ACCAB 11~15 ACACB 16~20 CCCAC 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ A: 21-23．ABD B: 24-27．DBBB C: 28-30．BDB 31-35　DCGFE 完形填空 ‎36-40 DCABB 41-45 DACBD 46-50 CDACA 51-55 BACDB 语法填空 ‎56．differently 57．who/that 58．to choose 59．was called 60．how 61．a 62．Using ‎63．to 64．more 65．that 第一节 应用文写作  ‎ Dear Professor Taylor,‎ We’re students from No.2 Middle School.

With a mixture of fear and anxiety，Mary started leaving the restaurant to search for her partner. As she looked around the zoo grounds，it occurred to her that John had told her that chimpanzees were his favorite animals. John wouldn’t have left the restaurant to release the chimpanzees，would he? Oh no! Mary was sure she knew where John had gone.‎ As Mary raced up the path to the animal exhibits，she stopped because she saw John with two ‎ chimpanzees held in his arms. He offered a small，guilty smile. “I didn’t mean to let them escape，”he said. “I just wanted to set them free so that they could play outside for a little while！”he continued with excitement .“I took the key from a zoo keeper who wasn’t looking. But then，the exhibit lock broke and...”Behind Mary，Mrs. Brown had begun to walk up the path and saw John holding the animals.
