2017辽宁高一上学期人教版高中英语月考试卷

       Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route——through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

21. In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?

A. Book review      B. News report       C. Campus life     D. Continued story

22.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that ______.

A. luckily the door was torn away in the end         B. at last the wrench went broken

C. the lock came open after all his efforts      D. the chance was lost at the last minute

23. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

   A. the ditch was along a quiet country road

   B. the accident happened on a clear warm day

   C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch

    Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.

    Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test--unless the person cheats again.

    Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.

    Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.

    If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.

    A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

24. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,        

    A. it is unfair to other people

    B. it does harm to their heath

    C. teachers should punish them

    D. teachers shouldn't stop them at once

25. Some students like cheating mainly because              

A. the material in the test is very difficult

B .they want to do better than the others

C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy

D. they have little time to study their lessons

26. We can learn from the passage          

    A. cheaters are often thought highly of

    B. people show no respect for those who cheat

    C. parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble

    D. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice

27. In the passage those cheaters are advised to         

    A. spend more time on school than on sports

    B. find good solutions instead of cheating

    C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy

    D. ask their classmates for good methods of study

A Train Floating On Air

A train that floats on air? It's not magic― it's magnets. And it's close to reality.

       In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.

These trains use magnetic levitation technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.

How does it work?

Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.

When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.

Maglev doesn't rely on the friction of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.    

28. This passage is about __________.

  A. maglev                B. magnets                 C. levitation                 D. electricity

29. Which of the following is a repelling action?

  A.                            B.                               C.                               D.

30. What can we learn from the text?

A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.

  B. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev.

  C. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.

  D. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train. 

31. What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?

  A. A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one can’t.

  B. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.

C. Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.

  D. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train.

While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, but make sure you are challenging that work.”

I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how”questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.

It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.

My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.

32．According to the passage, the writer was interested in          .A．developing traffic systems    B．doing challenging projects

       C．winning great prizes                          D．writing different codes

       A．he had no clear idea about his program B．he was too shy to express himself

       C．he wanted to be understood easily   D．he preferred this kind of question

34．We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program         .

       A．would benefit people a lot                 B．was done together with others

       C．was difficult and needed patience     D．cost much money and energy

35．What would be the best title of the passage?

       A．Do It Yourself                                 B．No Pains, No Gains

       C．Learning with interest                       D．Practice Makes Perfect

It has often been said that a person’s life is the sum total of their experience. That seems like a simple    41  , but if one accepts this, then why do so many of us engage in practices and activities which are negative and actually  42       us?

  43  the family of four who decided to each clean a different area. They each took a sponge (海绵), did the   44   , and then placed them back in the kitchen.

A visitor came along who was   45  to what was cleaned in the home, but couldn’t tell by   46   since the sponges all looked the same. So ,in order to 47  his curiosity, he decided to squeeze each sponge to see what came out.

When the first sponge was squeezed, some cola came out, so the visitor  48  someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second, he found motor oil, so  49  , someone was cleaning the garage. In the third, baby powder came out when it was squeezed,

which  50   that the baby’s nursery was done. And   51 ,in the last one was wax(蜡), which was  52  on the floor.

As the visitor laid the last sponge down, he again remarked on their similarity. They all looked the same  53  they were squeezed.

The 54   we learned here is that as individuals we are not different from a sponge. We can only squeeze out what is    55 . As babies, we are born into this world  56  . We are like a new sponge. As we go through  57 , our “sponge” is filled with things we  58 through experiences.

If we look for the good in others and    59  to keep a positive attitude around, then as life squeezes us we will have a better chance of copying. If we are constantly finding  60 with others and look for excuses for our behavior, when life squeezes us we may not like what comes out.
