甘肃省静宁县甘沟中学2017届高三英语上学期第一次月考试题第一部分,阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项.阅读理解 AWork is a part of livingmy grandparents understood that.They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years.They raised chickens for eggs,pigs and cattle for meat.Cows were kept for milk and the cream,from which Grandma made butter and cheese.That little yard they had became a garden.The Depression,therefore,didnt make much change in their lives.But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work,drifting from job to job,to the farm.The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags.He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadnt eaten for a while.Grandpa stood watching him a bit,then said,“Theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓)Ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence.You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”Grandma said a surprising thing happened.The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once.She set another place at the table and made an apple pie.During lunch,the stranger didnt say much,but when he left,his shoulders had straightened.“Nothing ruins a man like losing his selfrespect,” Grandpa later told me.Soon after,another man showed up asking for a meal.This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase.Grandpa came out when he heard voices.He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.“ There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn Ive been meaning to get it moved.Itd sure be a help to me.And wed be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top.Then he set off to work.Grandma says she doesnt remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression daysor how many times that stack of wood got moved.1When he was asked to move a stack of firewood,the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that _.Ahe had found a good job Bhe would have something to eatChe would no longer suffer from the DepressionDhe would get what he wanted without losing his selfrespect2The writers grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because _.Ahe didnt want them to have a meal free of charge Bhe had been needing to get it movedChe wanted to help them in his own way Dhe wanted to show them his kindness and respect3The writers grandfather was all of the following but _.AkindBthoughtful CwealthyDsympathetic4The best title for the story would be _.AThe Depression BThe Pleasure of Helping OthersCNo Pains,No Gains DWorkA Part of LivingBMany of us mistakenly believe that its wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺陷)?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time. Dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else. You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior(自卑) because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really l ikes you as a person. The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.5. According to the author _ plays an important role in making friends.A. admitting your shortcomings B. self criticism C. modesty D. confidence6. If you are not liked by a person, _ .A. you should find the reason in yourself B. youd better talk with the person face to faceC. you may not be the one to be blamed D. you and that person misunderstand each other7. We can learn from the third paragraph that _ .A. your good qualities may turn out to be your flawsB. your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayC. your negative qualities cause a person to reject youD. youll have few friends if your flaws a re bigger than your good qualities8. Which of the following is true according to the author?A. It is important to lose weight.B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.9. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?A. How to find your good qualities. B. How to make friends.C. How to make self criticism. D. How to lose weight.CTips for Cycle TripsCycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by humanPower, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with poweredtravelCycle travel is a cheap form of transportationDistanceOn level terrain(地形),without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike cancomfortably cover 60-120km a dayDistances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anythingmuch beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoythe places you visitFor many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as itwill give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activitiesGeographyThe gradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your rangeA basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey timeIn hilly ormountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overallthey will be downhillA long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short,direct route over a hill or mountain passHowever, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenicroutes often come from hilly terrainEatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for moreinformation about foods. As you will be working hard, its important to get enough energy in yourfood. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so beprepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodatecyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.Ifyou are exploring an unfamiliar word, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for anew place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.10Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A50km. B90km. C130km. D250km.11Form the passage, we can learn that_.Ahigh quality food is easy to get on long tripsBhotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsCcycling over a mountain is challenging but worthyDit takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude12We can probably read this passage in_.Aa geography book Ba research report Ca science fiction Da travel magazineDFor Kim LeBlanc, knowing that her son Tylers organs, eyes and other tissues have given life or healing to others is helping her cope with the loss of her child, who was struck by a truck in Guelph on May 31. Tyler was believed to have been texting a friend when he stepped onto a high-traffic road against the green light and was struck by the truck. Then he was sent to a Hamilton hospital. Surgery was performed to ease the pressure in his brain, but .the family was told he would not recover. “With all of his injuries, I just prayed all night for a miracle. And I was granted a miracle, but not in the way Id expected,” says LeBlanc, her voice choked by emotion. The family decided to donate Tylers organs, a choice she believes her kind and considerate son would have made on his own. Its also a choice that transplant programs wish would be made more often, because the need for donor organs is far more than the supply worldwide. More than 1,500 people in Ontario are on the waiting list for life-saving organs, and one dies every day because an organ has not become available in time. Across Canada, the gap between donations and the need for organs continues to widen. At the end of 2010, more than 4,400 Canadians were on the waiting list for donor organs, including 3,362 needing a kidney. That year, 229 died before the organs they needed became available. LeBlanc recalls the morning when her son was taken off life support and his organs were removed. Despite living what she calls a parents absolute worst nightmare, LeBlanc says she has got the strength to bear such an unbearable loss. “Hes still there. Hes still living. And hes still breathing. And hes brought so much joy to families,” she says. “Hes my hero. He really is my hero.”13. Tyler was struck by the truck mainly because_. A. he broke the traffic rule B. he was talking with his friends C. the truck ignored him D. the truck ran at a high speed14. The figures in paragraph 4 show that _. A. more people begin to donate their organs B. more people are dying during organ transplant operations C. many people dont know how to donate their organs D. many people are in great need of organ transplant worldwide15. It is implied in the last paragraph that _. A. LeBlanc was desperate about Tylers death B. LeBlanc will never forget Tylers contribution C. LeBlanc felt relieved with Tylers organ donated D. LeBlanc has never thought that Tyler will be a hero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。Dont you just love ice skating every winter?I am sure,that since winter is approaching your skates are set to come out,just waiting to be used._16_ Its a bit difficult but once you master the basic,there is nothing like it.Follow the steps given below and you will be able to do it in no time.Stand StraightThe first thing you need to do is stand straight.If you feel that you are falling backwards,then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees.Dont worry;this happens to all.Confidence is What You NeedThe most important step while learning how to skate backwards,is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing._17_ By practice.While going backwards,just get used to the feeling of moving backwards.One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance,then scissor your skates._18_Maintain SpeedWhile rolling in a straight line with one skate,with the other try sculling (划桨),that is,keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke (滑动)Now bring the skate which you were using to scull,and then again,repeat the same process.Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling.Now try the same thing using the other foot.Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.Increase Your Speed NowOnce you are confident that you can scull with either foot,the next thing that you have to do is to increase your speed.Try some of your own tricks now._19_Scull and Be Aware_20_ If you are not watching your back,you might just bang against something or someone.There,so now you know how to skate backwards on ice.So put on those skates of yours and practice hard so that you can surprise your friends this winter.But be sure to wear all the necessary safety gear before you practice!AHow can you achieve this?BScull with either foot or with both simultaneously (同时地)CSo dont waste time skating backwards.DConcentrate on what you are doing but dont get so involved that you dont see where you are going.EImpress your friends with your new trick on how to iceskate backwards with the help of these tips.FConfidence is the key to gaining sufficient practice in the learning process.GKeep practicing this till you are confident about it.第二部分:英语知识运用(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,掌握其大意,然后从4160各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A young mother set her feet on the pathway of life.“Is the way long?”she asked.
