2019-2020年高二英语下学期第五次月考试题一 阅读理解 A Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family , and others believe that success mostly es down to luck . Im not going to say luck , talent , and circumstances dont e into play because they do . Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence , and thats just the reality of how life is .However , to succeed in life , one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical . And in addition to that , in order to get really good at something , one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising . To bee great at a certain thing , itll require even more time , time that most people wont put it .This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love . If you dont enjoy what you do , it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit quickly before you ever bee good at it .When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success , you know that they put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost . Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent , but thinking that way does you no good , and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway .Whatever you do , if you want to bee great at it , you need to work day in and day out , almost to the point of addiction , and over a long period of time . If youre not willing to put in the time and work , dont expect to receive any rewards . Consistent , hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want , but it will guarantee that you will bee really good at whatever it is you put all that work into .1. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A . the meaning of success B . the importance of success C . the reasons for success D .the standards of success2.

One can not succeed without time and practice. B“ People are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before , ” says Patsy , “ Manners have fallen off the radar (雷达) .” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment , it is a wonder that more people dont wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a plaint about the noise . Here are some examples of rudeness .Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet . To them , dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward . It feels very slow because human dont work at 4G speeds . When you have dinner with friends , you will often notice someone paying attention to his mobile phone . We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news , so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with . What is worse , some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude message by email .However , rudeness is never acceptable . Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you . If you have something awful to say , have the courage to face the person and say it , write a letter or email and sign it , or forget it . Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting .We shouldnt blame technology for our shortings . Technology is here to help us , but we should not allow it to take over our lives . An important step is acknowledging our shortings . People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if wed publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them .5.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet . Thats why he created Lampbrella , a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella .The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia . “ Once , I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain . I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy ( 伞篷 ) built into a street lamp , ”he said .The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy . It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand . Sensors ( 传感器 ) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining .In addition to the rain sensor , theres also a 360motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects(探测)whether anyone is using the Lampbrella . After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed . According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed , so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians . Besides , it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike . Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people . Being installed （安装）at 2 meters off the ground , it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians . While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production , Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department , and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter .13. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella ? A . To predict a heavy rain B . To protect people from the rain C . To check the weather forecast D . To remind people to take an umbrella14 . What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella ? A . Its safety B . Its installation C . Its appearance D . Its moving speed15 . What can be inferred from the last paragraph ? A . The designer will open a pany to promote his product . B . The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production . C . The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow D . The designer is confident that his creation is practical E Kids health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time . _16_ Some ways of dealing with stress -like screaming or hitting someone - dont solve much .
