高一年级下学期第一次月考英语试题 考试时间120分钟，满分120分 第一部分 阅读 第一节．阅读理解（共10小题，每小题3分，满分30分）‎ A As far back in history as we can tell, people have celebrated the start of a New Year. The people of ancient Egypt began their New Year in summer. That is when the Nile River flooded its banks bringing water and fertility（肥沃）to the land. The people of ancient Babylon and Persia began their New Year on March 21, the first day of spring . And some native American Indians began their New Year when the nuts of the oak trees became ripe. That was usually in late summer. ‎ Noise-making is another ancient custom on the New Year. The noise is considered necessary to drive away the evil spirits of the old year. People around the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit sticks together, beat on drums, blow horns, or explode fire-works. ‎ Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways. Most do not have to go to work or school. So they visit family and friends, attend church services, share a holiday meal, or watch New Year’s parades（游行） on television. Most years university teams play in special holiday games. For those who have been busy at work or school, New Year may be a day of rest. They spend the time thinking about and preparing for the demands of the New Year. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following statements is right?‎ A.

With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.‎ On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.‎ But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.‎ ‎ Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.‎ ‎4. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?‎ A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.‎ B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.‎ C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.‎ D.

Valentine was put into prison because ________.‎ A. he killed one of the soldiers B. he stole a lot of food ‎ C. he didn’t obey the emperor’s order D. he didn’t want to be a soldier ‎6. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.‎ A. students in China send cards to their teachers B. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China C. it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China D. Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now C It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of previous Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?‎ Japan High schools have canteens（食堂）, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.‎ Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition（营养）value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.‎ Untied States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories.‎ Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.‎ Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi (寿司), sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.‎ In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.‎ South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30pm and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.‎ Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.‎ ‎7. What does the underlined word “obesity” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Nutrition. B. Addiction. C. Food shortage. D. Overweight.‎ ‎8. We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A. a typical menu from a US school consists of enough nutrition.‎ B. most students in South Africa eat their lunch at home.‎ C. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school.‎ D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan.‎ ‎9. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.‎ B. Schools serve different foods from country to country.‎ C. Food served in the US is the best of all.‎ D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.‎ ‎10. The article is written for________.‎ A. parents B. schoolmasters C. students of your age D. nutritionist 第二节．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（每小题2分，共10分）。‎ ‎_ 11 _ .

These were the unappealing vegetables that sat on the edge of my plate. Peas, and green beans, all looked and ‎ tasted 16 . At that time, all I thought was that “when there were so many other delicious treats to 17 , why should I eat boring vegetables?”‎ Since then my taste buds have 18 and I'm also fully aware of the health benefits of eating fresh vegetables. But we still need 19 of the amazing goodness these green super foods give us. In the UK, a campaign has been 20 for several years to encourage us to eat our “5A Day”—five portions of fruit and vegetables. That's 21 evidence has shown there are significant health 22 to getting at least five 80g portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.‎ But I struggle trying to fit these five portions into my daily 23 , partly because I have a sweet 24 and vegetables are, well, tasteless.

Brad Turnwald from Stanford University says that “studies show that people 29 to think of healthier options as less tasty for some reason.”‎ In Europe, a project called Veggie EAT has also been trying to find ways to get people to 30 more vegetables. Project leader, Professor Heather Hartwell believes in 31 encouraging people into eating the right things. One idea is to put a 32 of a tasty looking fruit on a supermarket trolley as a 33 about buying something from the fruit section. She says, “Choice is a really 34 thing. But making vegetables look attractive will increase their sales.”‎ Certainly, eating “twisted citrus-glazed carrots” does sound tempting, even if it just 35 like a carrot, but if it makes us eat more vegetables then that can only be a good thing for our health.‎ ‎16．A．delicious B．disgusting C．ripen D．sweet ‎17．A．buy B．offer C．enjoy D．prepare ‎18．A. developed B．appeared C．existed D．shrank ‎19．A．talking B．informing C．reminding D．warning ‎20．A．planning B．running C．aiming D．intending ‎21．A．why B．how C．when D．because ‎22．A．benefits B．issues C．needs D．risks ‎23．A．diet B．education C．work D．exercise ‎24．A．ear B．tooth C．knee D．head ‎25．A．showing B．discovering C．reporting D．studying ‎26．A．attractive B．appropriate C．beneficial D．independent ‎27．A．wastes B．values C．choices D．judgments ‎28．A．confused B．challenged C．disturbed D．motivated ‎29．A．manage B．tend C．agree D．decide ‎30．A．grow B．harvest C．store D．eat ‎31．A．suddenly B．slowly C．firmly D．seriously ‎32．A．picture B．lot C．variety D．number ‎33．A．sign B．hint C．concern D．clue ‎34．A．complex B．easy C．quick D．casual ‎35．A．looks B．smells C．feels D．tastes 第二节．单项选择（每小题一分，共15小题，满分15分）‎ ‎36.
