宁县二中2018-2019学年第一学期高三英语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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AIt was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I went out of the house and followed him on his journey. He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns (荆棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. and more drops. and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride. 1.Why did the author follow her son?A. Because she was curiousB. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because there might be dangerD. Because she intended to help.2Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?A. Rain was in great need.B. Billy carried water with his small handsC. There were few trees in the woods.D. Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.3.What Billy did mainly showed that he was _.A. beautifulB. caring C. childlike D. braveBAs summer es near, many children are really happy to forget about school for a few months. However, studies have found that children typically forget between one and three months worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic decline that occurs during the long summer vacation. Most cities still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good level of preparation, experts remend trips to museums, summer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally active and interested throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students skills sharp(敏锐的). For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1:30 PM each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way that it does in America.Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students bee accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes.4. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most during the summer months because children _.A. take the summer vacation too seriouslyB. have to help work in the fieldsC. dont like spelling and mathD. do little work of math or spelling5. What is one of the advantages of Japan and Italys educational systems?A. They offer vacations without affecting students skills.B. The students have more free time of their own to play.C. They provide students with shorter vacations every year.D. The students attend classes for longer time every week.6. What does the underlined phrase “shut down” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Get sickB. Stop learningC. Go on vacation.D. Concentrate on their studies.7. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Spend Summer Vacations.B. No More Summer Vacations.C. New Educational Systems NeededD. Summer Vacations: Change or NotCCharlton Heston was born in 1923 in Evanston, Illinois. Charlton Heston discovered his interest in acting while performing in plays at his high school.
