20172018学年第一学期高二第二次月考英语试卷第i卷（选择题）一、阅读理解(每小题2分，共30分)aare there any foreigners in your city? how do you address(称呼) them in english when you want to talk to these foreigners? the following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.1. when talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in english. in most cases, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as “excuse me”.2. in british english “sir” and “madam” are considered to be too formal for most situations. they are used mostly to customers in shops or restaurants .while in american english “sir” and “madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you dont know.3. when you talk to some people you know, you can use their names directly. if you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “mr.”, “mrs.”, “ms.”, etc, before their family names.4. there are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. however, many of these are limited in use. for example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.if you meet foreigners, do remember not to address them in wrong ways.1according to the passage, “excuse me” is mainly used to _.a. address a person you dont knowb. apologize to

my cat, rocco, had left a turd (粪便) in his perfect flower beds.fortunately, i wasnt home when this happened, so he angrily complained to my friend and neighbor kate about this. she was kind enough to listen to him and to go down into the garden with him to have a look. she even took a picture.when i got home later, kate had left a message on my answering machine about the incident. hearing it was about my cat again, my stomach turned. several weeks before, hed gotten so upset that he threatened to put rat traps on the ground, hoping that would frighten me into keeping my cat indoors. so, i was a little apprehensive this time.but i couldnt help but laugh when kate told me the whole story. i understood what gardening meant to him. since my old neighbor retired ten years ago, he had spent all of his time on his garden. so when i saw him in the garden later on, i went to talk to him. to my surprise, it turned out quite nice. i was really surprised to find that i had the grace (雅量) not to respond to his bad words. instead, i engaged (使忙于) him in a conversation on the beautiful flowers hed planted, the color combinations and the care he took to create such a sense of order. i tried to convey my understanding and appreciation without complimenting or talking down to him. i was really amazed by how that turned out. we hadnt had a conversation like that for over a year!4the story

cars, but some families have two or more. however, cars are used for more than pleasure. they are a necessary part of life. cars are used for business. they are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. when salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. sometimes small children must be driven to school. in some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. when the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. one mother drives on mondays taking her own children and the neighbors as well. another mother drives on tuesdays, another on wednesday, and so on. this is called forming a car pool. men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work. more car pools should be formed in order
