辽宁省丹东市凤城市第一中学2018-2019学年高一英语下学期第二次月考试题答题时间：100分钟 满分：150分 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节， 满分40分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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。AI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names; In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!21. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places22. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.23. What can we infer from the text?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BDos and Donts in Whale WatchingThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales(虎鲸) are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 meters, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel. Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales. When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales. Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.24. For whom is this text written?A. Tour guides.B. Whale watchers.C. Vessel operators.D. Government officials.25. When leaving the observation areas, the vessel should _.A. move close to the beachB. increase speed graduallyC. keep its engine running slowlyD. remain at the back of the whales26. What is the shortest safe distance from the whales?A. 400 metres.B. 300 metres.C. 200 metres.D. 100 metres.C“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, dont normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as the worlds first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather, its a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory(迁徙的) water birds,some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction fornon-egg-laying creaturesat Tianjins newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city-Chinas fourth most populous-that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.27.The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?A.Designers. B.Visitors. C.Endangered water birds. D.Planes.28.What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A.It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.B.It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C.It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.D.People cannot watch birds up close here.29.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Tianjins air quality will improve thanks to the airport.B.Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C.The airport will become a permanent home for birds.D.Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.30.What is this passage mainly about?A.Airports shut down and open up.B.Airports turn into green lungs.C.China is to open the first Bird Airport.D.Birds are no longer enemies to airports.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How did you learn how to ride your bike?

They were extremely poor. Although they worked day and night, they barely managed to survive with the little money they earned.While the daughter was working in the rice fields all day, her mother tended to the few chickens and pigs that they owned in their yard. At times she took on other jobs like mending and ironing clothes for the villagers. A few years later, their lives started to changed for the better. They decided to set up a small shop with the money they had saved.Upon seeing that, the greedy village chief decided to take advantage of this situation. He told the girl that the village had a peculiar(特殊的)custom. He explained that anyone who wished to set up a business in the village had to give a gold nugget(金块)to every family in the village. As the custom had been practiced for many generations, it was thus compulsory （义务）for her to do the same.The girl disagreed strongly but it was in vain. The village chief refused to listen to her pleas(恳求) and ordered her to get the gold nuggets ready the next day. The young girl ran away to the forest, feeling very discouraged. Crying bitterly as she ran,she tripped over something and fell. When she stood up and looked at what she had tripped over,she saw a smooth, small, round stone that resemble a gold nugget! As she picked it up, a brilliant idea struck her!注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1:The girl picked up many of those small stones from the forest and carried them home._Paragraph 2:That night, the robbers broke into the village chiefs house. _英语答案阅读DBA CBD BCAC CGAFD完型填空 of First matters terribly Faced misunderstanding which ourselves determination how应用文参考答案Dear editor
