2019-2020学年高二英语8月月考试题第二部分 阅读理解（共二节，满分60分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didnt earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasnt a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didnt have any time for things like that any more. Theres a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that is why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldnt believe it. Luckily it wasnt very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just havent any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I wont earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too.

Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.Mr. Hempel wrote part of the World watch Institutes latest State of the World report. He says in his article, “Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether thats enough. In other words, what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.”“That doesnt seem to lead to action to protect our environment to protect our life support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know, a lot about the environment doesnt mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge.”He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. “Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues (问题) are worse in the Arctic and most of us dont spend time in the Arctic. And so, there a certain distance. But theres also a distance thats happening in the world as it urbanizes (城市化) - people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We bee, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being.”To help children discover the wonders of nature, children should learn about nature in school, he adds. But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.5From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn that .A. ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy.B. people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy.C. ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works.D. people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment.6In Mr. Hempels opinion, which is the most important for environment protection?A. Knowledge. B. Action.C. Green living theory. D. Psychological distance.7Mr. Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems because .A. they lack knowledge on environment protection.B. they are closely connected with the nature.C. the problems are not serious at all.D. the problems seem to be far away.8What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is the best way to learn about nature in school.B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise.C. It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out.D. people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment.CPingyao, in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage (遗产) site. Its 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River. People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a county government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history.Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized mercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch (分支) banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its lacquer ware (漆器) became well known. In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and mercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxis history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people. In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”.9What does the underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Historic buildings and sites. B. The three temples.C. The county government seats. D. The 2,700-year history.10Which of the following about Pingyao is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Its location. B. Its tourism.C. Its business. D. Its history.11During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingyao was a leading center in _.A. agriculture B. raising cattleC. mercial trade D. making gold coinsDOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal panion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的） to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.12. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to_.A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons13. The book caught the authors eye because_.A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked childrens stories very much14. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has bee a successful writer. B. The authors mother read the same book.C. The authors mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。How to Survive High SchoolHigh school can be a terrible period if you get it all wrong.
