高二上学期10月月考2019年高二10月月考英语试题第一部分：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中，选出最佳选项。A With little rain, ancient Egyptians relied mostly on the Nile River to water their crops, so they could only grow certain kinds of food. They mainly grew wheat and barley (大麦). The Egyptians made the wheat into bread, soup and porridge, and they also added hops (啤酒花) to make the barley into beer. In fact, some people think that the Egyptians would not have begun growing grain if they hadnt liked beer so much. Many Egyptian models of beer jars have been found, which the Egyptians put into graves of dead people so that they would have beer in the next world. The Egyptians also ate meat. They went to a butcher shop and bought meat there, just as people do today. But because it rarely rains in Egypt, they could have the meat outside in the yard of the store instead of inside. Click on the left and you will see a model of a butcher shop, which was also found in somebodys grave. Can you see the different cuts of meat all laid out? There is a whole leg of mutton at the very bottom. However, Egyptians thought pigs carried infectious disease. They ate beef, mutton, duck and goose. For dessert, the Egyptians had a great interest in dates. Here is a picture of some real Egyptian dates which were put into peoples graves for them to eat in the next world, and which were kept in the dry climate for three thousand years until archaeologists dug them up. Archaeologists have also found seeds which show that the Egyptians grew watermelon and other kinds of melon.1. In some peoples opinions, the ancient Egyptians started to grow grain because _. A. they were short of food B. they could sell the grain for money C. they wanted to produce beer with the grain D. they wanted to trade the grain for beer 2. Concerning the ancient Egyptians, all of the following are true EXCEPT that _. A. they mainly used the irrigation water from the Nile River to water the cropsB. they liked putting models of beer jars into the graves of their dead relativesC. they had to go inside the butcher shops to buy meat as people do todayD. they believed there was a new life in another world after their death3. In ancient Egypt, we would NOT find _ on the dinner table.A. bread B. watermelonC. muttonD. pork4. Where is this passage most probably taken from? A. Newspaper. B. History book.C. Website. D. Travel guide. BAt times Marty made it sound too easy. On a visit to his home I heard him say, “People need to decide to be happy.”I pressed him. “What do you mean by that?” His face took on an skeptical look. “You have to ask me?” At that moment I felt a little foolish. plex human problems, at least to me, often prevent people from being happy. To Marty it was a matter of mon sense. I wondered, what was I missing? That night Marty told me a story that was very personal for him. I knew Marty and Mickey had four children. I didnt know there had been a fifth. She was their second child. She died shortly after birth. “The funeral director was a super guy,” Marty said. “He knew we didnt have any money, but he told us he would take care of our little girl. He went out and built a wood casket (小盒) for her.”Martys voice started to break. “He only charged us five dollars. Its stuff like that. You can look for the good in people and youll find the good. You can look for the bad in people and youll find the bad.”I didnt know what it was like to grow up poor. Martys life was filled with minimum-wage jobs, borrowing on insurance policies, and working overtime to make a little more money. In my lifetime I had seen people in similar circumstances grow angry. Bitterness took hold of their lives and choked them.“I never had much money, and I dont think I ever will.” Marty said. “People think they need to have a lot of things to make them happy. They ought to look around and see whats really important.” When Marty looked around, he saw the most beautiful girl in the world as his wife, four children who loved him, a home he took pride in, and a job that made him feel alive. He was happy because, in his mind, he had it all. 5. The underlined word “skeptical” in the text can be replaced by “_”. A. embarrassed B. curiousC. disappointed D. doubtful6. Marty shared one of his personal stories to _.A. tell the author he experienced something sadB. prove the funeral director was a good personC. tell the author to find the goodness in lifeD. help those who gave him a hand once7. What does the author learn from Marty?A. Everyone needs to live a hard life.B. Everyone can choose to be happy.C. Never let others affect your mood.D. plex problems can bee simple.8. What would be the best title for the text?A. The source of happinessB. The pleasure of life C. The importance of familyD. The meaning of kindnessCWe probably all know people, either at work or in our personal lives, who are really good listeners. No matter what kind of situation were in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that were not offended or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions. They dont get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI. They know themselves very well, and theyre also able to sense the emotional needs of others. As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical ability, panies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote someone. For example, one large cosmetics pany recently revised their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates based on emotional intelligence. The result? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because theyre the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it gets answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and developed. Many books and tests are available to help you determine your current EI, and identify where you may need to do some work.9. According to the passage, were all probably impressed by people who _.A. are ready to help othersB. are very successful in their livesC. have high emotional intelligenceD. know how to control their temper10. By mentioning the cosmetics pany, the author tries to _.A. stress the importance of emotional intelligenceB. speak highly of its new salespeopleC. show its effective hiring systemD. explain what improvements it has made11. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_”.A. your emotions B. people around youC. effective relationships D. your opinions of others 12. Whats most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What emotional intelligence is.B. How emotional intelligence can be improved.C. Many books on emotional intelligence.D. More people with high emotional intelligence.D Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a puter will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a puter thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will e to us in this way. In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now. In future, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have puters to control the speed of them and there wont be any accidents. Today, many cars have puters that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the puter will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours. Some big panies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?13. By 2050, people will get information mainly by _. A. watching TV B. reading newspapers C. listening to the radio D. turning to a website14. What will play the biggest part in the quality of future life? A. Medicine. B. Technology.C. Education. D. Agriculture. 15. Which of the following subjects is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Entertainment. B. Travel.C. Climate. D. Health.E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。请将答案写在答题纸上。Like many people, the start of the day maybe isnt your favorite time. 16 Try at least one of these tomorrow Stretch (伸展) every part of your body for 15 seconds.
