2019-2020学年高一英语9月月考试题 (III)第一部分：阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)Letter OneDear Editor,After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play puter games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the puter. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and puter games harm children. Once I went to a net bar(网吧) to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didnt want to make themunhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing puter games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.Li Ping, BeijingLetter TwoDear Li Ping,I dont think its strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they dont want their children to play puter games.Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. Its never good to do things behind your parents. They arent fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us.Remember: to be honest is the best way.Good luck,Rebecca1.From the passage we can learn that Li Ping often_.A.talks with his friends on the InternetB.plays basketball after schoolC.plays puter games at homeD.chats online before homework2.The boy goes online_.A.to get news on QQ B.just to have a restC.to show he hates study D.to make new friends3.The editor thinks _.A.children should play puter games in the net bar secretlyB.playing puter game can be very helpful to childrens studiesC.children should be honest and try to make their parents understand themD.foreign parents dont care for their children as much as Chinese parentsBThe British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “Its a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isnt exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. Whats more, the British love to watch edies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behavein society. The edies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesnt talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have bee familiar with the British sense of humor.4.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A.The British often enlarge the fact.B.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.5.The author explains understatement by _.A.describing a process B.making parisonsC.following time order D.using examples6.Mr. Bean makes laugh by _.A.using his body movement and facial expressionsB.making jokes about others accentC.copying how others behaveD.telling funny stories7.What can be the best title for the text?A.British Humor in edyB.Humor in Different CulturesC.Understanding British HumorD.Developing Your Sense of HumorCA black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quietevent. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion, gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of bees tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billions of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it bees. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out.The star bees black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a white hole in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!8.When the star begins to die _.A.there is no fuel left in it B.a huge explosion will happenC.its outer layer goes into space first D.it doesnt give off light any longer9.Which of the following doesnt help produce ablack hole?A.The dying star shines less brightly.B.The light cant go out of the star.C.The star bees smaller and smallerD.The gravity inside the star is very strong.10.The black hole _.A.continues being smaller and smaller all the timeB.goes into another universe and bees a white holeC.will appear at another place at a different timeD.can pull in everything we know of in the world11.Whats the best title for this passage?A.A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B.What Are Black Holes?C.How Do Black Holes Swallow Light?D.Travel Through A Black HoleDYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegutoften said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella.Cinderella made more like $ 70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie gota mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do”. Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right. ” Other people were not as happy with the movie.

HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling Cinderella products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience (观众) for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other childrens products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.12.The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means.A.many changes B.different storiesC.advantages and disadvantages D.agreements and disagreements13.Products connected to Cinderella.A.do not sell very wellB.are all very expensiveC.are mainly targeted at little girlsD.are designed for a wide group of buyers14.Where can children buy toys connected to Cinderella?A.At MAC.
