河南省周口中英文学校2015-2016学年高一英语下学期第一次月考试题（含解析） 第二部分 阅读理解（本大题共两节，每小题2分,共40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。aif you want to become a fluent english speaker you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning english. they are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. the most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.read as much as you can. but your reading must be active. it means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. there is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. it would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.as for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. you can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. this never means that you should not practise listening.for listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. their languages are easy. or if you are good at listening you can listen to voa or bbc programmes every day. again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.if you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.21.to improve your reading, when you read you should _.athink about what you are reading activelyblook up all the new words in the dictionarycspend more time studying grammarsdcopy as many words and sentences as possible22the underlined phrase“come across” in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by“_”afind on purpose bdiscover cmeet by accident dlook for23.the author seems to agree with the view that _.aeveryone should listen to voa or bbc programmes every daybyou neednt practise listening if you keep on reading every daycyou should take notes of whatever you are hearing dbeing good at reading is helpful in improving your listening24.the passage is mainly about how to _.abecome fluent in speaking and writing english bchoose suitable listening materialscdeal with new words in readingdimprove your english as quickly as possible【答案】 21. a22.c23.d 24.a22. c词义猜测题。根据本句there is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across,是指在阅读中你所遇见的那些你不熟悉的单词，故该词指遇见，故c正确。23. d 推理判断题。根据文中第三段此句“you can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. ”可推断作者可能认为擅长读会对听力的提高有帮助。24.a 主旨大意题 本文主要讲述的就是如何成为一个在英语读写方面很流利的人，故a正确。考点：考查科教类阅读。bthe 92yearold, thin, calm and proud lady, who is

old sheets that had been hung on her window. “i love it.” she said with the happiness of an eightyearold having just been presented with a new puppy.“mrs jones, you havent seen the room.just wait.”“that doesnt matter.” she replied.“happiness is something you decide ahead of time. whether i like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. its how i arranged my mind. i have already decided to love it. its a decision i make every morning when i wake up. each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories ive stored away.”she went on to explain，“old age is like a bank account. you take what youve put in. so, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. thank you for your

home的工作人员，故选b。26.c推理判断题。根据最后一段mrs jones的话“happiness is something you decide ahead of time. whether i like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. its how i arranged my mind. ”快乐是你提前决定的东西，我是否喜欢我的房间并不取决于家具的安置，而是我怎样安排我的心情。可知mrs jones谈到她的房间时很快乐是因为她已经决定快乐了，故选c。27. c 细节理解题。通读全文可知mrs jones认为快乐与否是自己提前决定的，每天一醒来她就决定快乐的生活，每天都是一个礼物。可知她是一个快乐的人。故选c。考点：考查故事类短文阅读。cif there is a building

shah jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. he was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.the taj mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. as it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. it looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. at sunset, for example, the colour of the taj changes from white to yellow, then to pink. as the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.to show respect to the taj, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.28.emperor shah jahan built the taj mahal to _.amake it symbolize

power. shah jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666.”所表达的意思，1838年，他的儿子aurangzeb囚禁了他的父亲并且夺取权力，shah jahan呆在监狱直到1666年去世。可看出seize表示占有，夺得，获得；故选d。考点：考查人物传记类短文阅读。 done is not born able to speak a

句意理解题。根据第二段“they have an idea spoken in english and want to translate the idea into chinese, then they think in chinese of the proper reply and translate it into english. ”他们有了英语的想法会想把它翻译成汉语，然后他们想到合适的回答再把它翻译成英语。由句意可知画线单词they指代的是中国学生，故选c。35.b 推理判断题。文中第二段“after along period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally.
