2019-2020年高二英语下学期第一次月考试题普通班(I)说明: 本试卷分为选择题和非选择题两部分，共8页，满分150分。考试时间120分钟。第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，共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。AThe National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the worlds greatest art museums. Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the worlds fine artists. But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved, the Gallery must protect them carefully. The Gallerys 135-man guard force has successfully prevented them from being stolen, but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem.In past times, the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity (湿度) and temperature. As a result, the life of these paintings were shortened. In the National Gallery, however, humidity and temperature are carefully controlled. The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The air-conditioning and heating systems are so important to the life of the paintings that the Gallery has two of each system. If one should fail, the extra one can take over.Light is another enemy of paintings. Ultraviolet rays (紫外线) in light cause paintings to fade (褪色). Long ago, paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces. A coat of varnish (清漆) was a protection from the weak light. But when museums took over the care of many paintings, they were often hung in brighter light than before. Soon they were in danger of fading. The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating, yellowed with age.To protect its paintings, the National Gallery put a special kind of glass in its skylights. This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays. The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading.Thanks to these new precautions, many of the worlds greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy.1.The text mainly tells us about _.A. the guard force in the National Gallery B. protecting great paintings from natureC. priceless paintings of past times D. the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery2. Which of the following is NOT an enemy of paintings?A. Varnish. B. Temperature. C. Light. D. Humidity.3. The underlined word precautions in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _. A. decorations B. problems C. suggestions D. applications4. From the text we can infer that_.A. great artists painted in dark churches and palacesB. you can touch these paintings while you are in the National GalleryC. the care of the worlds greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a challengeD. the guard force in the Gallery has not done a good job5. From the text, we can learn that _ . A.ultraviolet rays cannot affect paintings B.great artists painted with coats of varnish C.some priceless paintings were not well preserved D.the guard force in the National Gallery has not done a good jobBDrawing is a universal language. It was probably our first form of self-expression when we were babies: long before we start writing, were painting and scribbling(乱涂), both in order to make sense of the world and because we enjoy it.In the history of human culture, too, painting and image making came before writing or even simple mathematics: 30,000 years ago pared to 5,000. Yet after we leave school most of us never pick up a pencil againwillingly. If asked to draw something, most adults and many older children will shake their heads and say, “ Not me! I cant draw. Im hopeless at it.”When you think about it, this is very strange. Drawing involves coordinating(协调) the hand and the eye with the pencil. Its a basic skill, no more difficult to learn than other amazing things that humans do, such as hitting a tennis ball over the net or writing our own name. theres no special talent involved. Anybody who can learnto write can learn to draw.So, there you are no excuse not to get out your pencil, pencil sharpener and rubber and take part in the Big Draw, a nationwide series of free art events taking place all over Britain next October. Everyones wele: all you need is a willingness to express yourself through drawing.The Big Draw, now in its fifth year, has already achieved two world records: one for the longest drawing in the world (1km) and the other for the greatest number of people drawing at the same time (7,000). This year, there will be an attempt to create a new Guinness World Record for the longest visitorsbook: people will be invited to leave their name and a drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper.The theme this year is InsideOutsidePeople, Structure(结构) and Spaces, and other events planned include drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper.The Big Draw is not about turning the nation into artists, it is about helping people to acquire this universal language of munication. Its greatest achievement next October will be to bring hundreds of thousands of people together to look, imagine, draw and have fun.6. What is the writers main purpose in this text?A.

C If you spent years training to be a lawyer and had a great steady ine,would you leave it to undertake a silly plan that only your mum and girlfriend believed in? Thats exactly what Tom Pakenhamdid. He had the idea of starting an eco-friendly taxi pany and so with five environmentally-friendly cars Green Tomato Cars was born. Now,only a few years later,the pany has a group of 60 Toyota Prius Hybrids. When the pany started in xx Tom admits,”Only my mum,girlfriend Sophie,now my wife,and Jonny(his business partner) were 100 percent behind the idea of starting Londons first green cab service.” Tom,who sold his 150,000 flat to raise money for the business,received the support of some well-known persons, Buckingham Palace officials and BskyB managers. Even Al Gore is a fan. Currently carrying 500-600 passengers a day,Green Tomato Cars is a shining example that mercial success and green issues are patible(可共存的). “All our drivers and employees are employed from the local munity. We use local garages,service agents and vehicle sign-writers even though that is not always the most petitive choice. The reason is that to bring green products to the fore we believe we must not be inferior(较差的) to conventional taxis. The target is to be recognized as No.1 provider of environmental goods and services in London and around the world.” All their hard work has paid off as The Department for Transport has acknowledged Green Tomato Cars progress by giving them the Fleet Hero Award and last year the pany was highlighted at the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day. Delighted with the publicity, Tom says,”I like to think we are playing our part with the cars switching to electricity. Carbon dioxide reductions of more than 600 tons have been achieved and this low footprint has sparked a revolution in the taxi world.”11.From the first paragraph,we can infer that_.

According to a new study, body language cannot be trusted. Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble - an airport. _16_1. _17_These are the opposite of “Yes” and No” questions. Open-ended questions force the person to stretch the story of their lies until they are caught in their own net of lies.2. Use the element of surprise_18_ Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic. This will make it harder for them to keep lying. Or better still ask them to re-tell an event backwards in time, going from the most recent event to the earliest. This is hard enough to do with the truth, let alone a story of lies.3. Look for small details that do not add up or, in other words, make sense.Ask them details about their stories and look for facts that seem in disagreement with each other. But do not let them know you know. _19_4. Watch for changes in confidence and speaking stylesLiars will often change their speaking style when they are questioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. _20_A. The British government partly financed this study.B. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars.C. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.D. Use open-ended questionsE. Here are four ways of catching a liar.F. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.G. Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）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四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “Im so sorry!” was my reply.

I still love you 36 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.” Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 37 you are working for could easily replace you in a few days.
