This passage is intended for _. A.

Rough-hew(粗凿) them we will.” The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. He was wrong. I knew that: I knew it positively. There couldnt be the slightest doubt about it. And so, to get a feeling of importance and display my high quality, I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee member to correct him. He stuck to his guns. “What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! That quotation was from the Bible.” Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated at my left hand, who had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare, so the storyteller and I agreed to ask for his opinion. Frank listened, kicked me under the table and then declared, “Dale, you are wrong.” On our way home, I demanded an explanation from Frank, “Frank, you know the quotation was from Shakespeare.” “Yes, of course,” he replied. “But we were guests at a festival occasion. Why prove to a man he was wrong? Why not let him save his face? He didnt ask for your opinion. He didnt want it. Why argue with him?” The man who said that taught me a lesson Ill never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been if I hadnt become argumentative. Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the competitors more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. You cant win an argument. You cant because if you lose it, you lose it; if you win it, you lose it. 24. At the party, the author tried to get a feeling of importance by_. A. telling a humorous story B. showing off his rich knowledge C. teaching the storyteller a lesson D. correcting the storytellers mistake25.

What does the author learn from his friend Frank? A. Have an open mind. B. Respect others opinion. C. Never get into argument. D. Avoid making mistakes in public. CChildren who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted, new research suggests.In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention group (干预组) had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit childrens eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine (多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to control the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits of their eyesight. However, its important to protect kids skin and eyes from UV(紫外的) light, which can be damaging.27. What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?A. Participate in outdoor activities with parents.B. Continue to do their usual activities.C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.D. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.28. What can be inferred about the chemical dopamine?A. It can contribute to poor sight. B. It is beneficial to eyesight.C. It can damage peoples brain. D. It means low levels of light intensity.29. What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A. How to protect kids skin and eyes from UV light.B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.C. How to design outdoor activities for kids.D. How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The More Time Outdoors, the BetterB. Its Time to Engage Kids in Outdoor Activities C. Kids May See Better if They Play OutsideD. Researchers Found a Cure for Nearsightedness 第二节： 七选五阅读（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。选项中有两项多余。When your pet has an emergency, first aid is not a substitute for veterinary treatment.

As the BBC noted, “It seems that Britain is developing a reputation as a nation of sorry-sayers.” The average Briton says sorry around eight times per dayand one in eight people apologizes up to 20 times a day, according to an article released by the BBC. As you may have expected, the British apologize more frequently than members of other cultures. Last year a poll done by YouGov, a UK research firm, showed that approximately 15 British people would say “sorry” for every 10 people from the US if they sneezed or if someone crashed into them. Yes, traditionally “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now Britons use expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say it as a substitute for “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.Britons also use sorry to share another persons feelings, so they might say “sorry about the rain”, Edwin Battistella, a linguistics expert from southern Oregon University in the US, told the BBC.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a famous psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologies come from the British class system. They say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain have to apologize not only for not being the working class, but also for not really being the upper class. Another theory is that British society values its members showing respect without getting into someone elses personal space, and without drawing attention to oneself.British peoples use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not used to their ways. But true manners are about being considerate, and the modern-day British fascination with apologizing shows this. 第一次月考高二英语参考答案（2017.3）第一部分 听力 (共两节, 共20小题， 每小题1.5分，满分30分)1-5 CACCC 6-10 AABBC 11-15 CABCC 16-20 BABBC第二部分 阅读理解（本两节，共15小题；满分35分）21-23 ABD 24-26 DAC 27-30 DBAB 31-35 CAEGD第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）36-40 BCBAC 41-45 ADDCA 46-50 BCDCB 51-55 ABABD第二节 语法填空（共10空，每空1.5分，满分15分）56. an 57. informed 58.with 59.
