2019-2020学年高一英语12月月考试题 (I)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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl going to Howard University, aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to leave college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a mix of adopted(收养)and biological children. In xx, we adopted our first son. To put eyes on him was wonderful and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In xx, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a plete zooa joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave upon the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each term.The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to give up, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the middle of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process(过程). Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.1. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be _.A. a judge B. a teacher C. a writer D. a doctor2. Why did the author give up school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her sorry feeling of her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.4. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.BCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get alongswimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it isnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body language is just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to bee smarter. They can learn to read each others body language, suggesting that the two may have more in mon than expected. Once familiar with each others body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.5. The underlined word“swimmingly”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“_”.A. early B. mostly C. quickly D. smoothly6. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They watch each others behavior.C. They learn to speak each others language.D. They know something from each others voice.7. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.A. have mon interestsB. are less different than thoughtC. have a mon body languageD. are not so smart as expected8. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to get along well with others.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body language.CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old anddilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked（漏水）along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. Im happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.9. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirtyB. darkC. worn out D. plain-looking10. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past B. His agingC.His mannerD.His leaking11. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to_.A. laugh at the old oneB. feel sorry about the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardeners kindness12. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep balance.B. Because it stayed in its best condition.C. Because it was treated as a treasure.D. Because it had its own function.DChicago Childrens MuseumIn brief:This museum offers plenty of fun activities for kids.
