2016-2017学年度第二学期高一级中期考试英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）amost dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. one of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him. one of my friends has a large german shepherd (牧羊狗) named jack. every sunday afternoon, my friend takes jack for a walk in the park. jack likes these long walks very much. one sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. he stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. soon it was time for my friend to take jack for his walk, but the visitor didnt leave. jack became very worried about his walk in the park. he walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. but the visitor paid no attention. he continued talking. finally, jack couldnt stand it any longer. he went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. he sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the mans hat in his mouth. german shepherds arent the only intelligent dogs. another intelligent dog is a seeing eye dog. this is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. we call these dogs seeing eye dogs because they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”. seeing eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people. 1. the writer tells the story about the dog jack to show that_. a. it, like many other dogs, always tried to please its owner master b. it, unlike many other dogs, always wanted its master to please it c. it was more intelligent than many other dogs d. it was the most faithful dog of his friends 2. jack came to sit in front of the visitor in order to_. a. please him b. be pleased c. ask him to leave immediately d. invite him for a walk 3. the sentence “finally, jack couldnt stand it any longer.” means_. a. jack could no longer put up with the visitor b. jack could no longer stand but he might sit down c. jack was very tired and wanted a rest d. jack was very angry with the visitor4. which of the following titles would be the best for the passage? a. dogsa great help to people b. an impatient dog c. an introduction to dogs d. famous dogs in germany ba few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. what had gone wrong? why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society. one important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. in more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). in our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. in our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. in a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. the young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. no doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of american life for some time to come. its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes. 5. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _. a. the generation gap suddenly appeared b. the generation gap is a feature of modern social life c. people can reduce the generation gap d. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap 6. the word “around” in paragraph 1 means _. a. on all sides b. in existence c. in every direction d. near 7. in american society, young people often _. a. depend on their parents to make a life b. stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education c. seek the best advice from their parents d. have very little in common with their parents 8. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. parents should be strict with their children. b. the younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom. c. the generation gap is partly caused by the older generation. d. the generation gap does not exist in american society. cask a bachelor（单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. if he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. for commitment is in fact quite painful. the single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. i dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. but couples who decide not to have children never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. it liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. it liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. and it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 9according to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ . a. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities b. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single c. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage d. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 10raising children, in the authors opinion is _ . a. a moral duty b. a thankless job c. a rewarding task d. a source of inevitable pain 11from the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于）_ . a. hatred b. misunderstanding c. prejudice d. ignorance 12to understand what true happiness is one must _ . a. have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime b. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain c. put up with pain under all circumstances d. be able to distinguish happiness from fun din a nation with a one-child family planning policy, its understandable for parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. are the children truly as fragile as sometimes made out to be?the concern has been brought into focus with the popularity of a hit reality tv series, hunan tvs dad! where are we going? and zhejiang tvs first time in life. in both, children as young as three have become new public figures. in the show first time in life, children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks to complete by themselves；the ongoing dad! show centers on five celebrity fathers and their children who are forced to live a simple life in rural areas, far outside their comfort zone. regardless of (paying no attention to) their family background, the childrens reactions to new environments have struck the public. in one episode of dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former olympic diving champion tian liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. in an episode of the other series, a young girl in tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake. in the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. but television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. in the case of tians daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didnt know. the father of the tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said. “she used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother. now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ” the shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children. shanghai mother liang jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. lin yi, a parenting expert in beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives. ”13. what attracts the audiences eyes in the programs?a. what the kids family background is like. b. where childrens real comfort zone is.c. how children react to new environments. d. why those children are independent. 14. it can be inferred from the underline words “delightfully shocked” that . a. father is more important than mother in a family b. children deserve a chance to be independent c. parents should provide a safe environment d. the children are as fragile as parents expected15. the shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion about .a. protecting good traditions b. the social safetyc. approaches(methods) to parenting d. the influence of tv
