河南省郑州盛同学校2014-2015学年高一英语12月月考试题一阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(abc和d)中，选出最佳选项。ain the us, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they dont know. this means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. if you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.at american restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap (水龙头)water before you order. you may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(重续).most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. if you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. it may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself. tips are not usually added to the check. they are not included in the price of the meal, either. a tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. in some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.1which statement is true?a. american people like sitting with people they dont know.b. hostess always seats a small group at a large table.c. american people never sit with people they dont know.d. american people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.2what is served before you order?a. cold water. b. butter. c. coffee. d. bread.3what do american people always do when servings are too large for them?a. they take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.b. they leave the food on the table and go away.c. they take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.d. they ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.beven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. there are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.why arent you completely efficient? its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices（牺牲）. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. the reason why its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was extremely busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, because of illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was very light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this strange experience? i believe you have known it. 4if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy5according to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.a. work without any rest b. focus on many things at a timec. find some more time in a day d. do some exercise regularly6the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.a. prove what the real limiting factor isb. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body isd. tell us what a strange experience he has7what is the best title of the passage?a. do you really lack time? b. how can you work efficiently?c. what makes your energy limited? d. when should you do exercise?cthe brown bear my wife laura and i were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in alaska when we saw a bear. the bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. just a few minutes later, i heard my daughter shouting, “dad! the bear is right behind us!” an aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. this one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. and it was a cold april day. the bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.i held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. it bit down and i found myself supporting its weight. i knew i would not be able to hold it for long.even so, this was a fight i had to win: i was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.the bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. i raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. my arm could not move, and i sensed that my bones were going to break.drawing back my free hand, i struck the bear as hard as i could for five to six times. the bear opened its mouth and i grasped its fur, trying to push it away. i was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. the bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack- the first time i felt panic.apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. my arm was injured, but the result for us could hardly have been better. im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different result.8.the brown bear approached the family in order to _.a. catch shore birdsb. start an attackc. protect the childrend. set up a barrier for itself9.the bear finally went away after it _.a. felt safeb. got injuredc. found some foodd. took away the camera10.the writer and his family survived mainly because of their _.a. prideb. patiencec. calmnessd. carefulness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，选项中有两项为多余选项。所选答案涂在答题卡71-75的位置上。once there was a very poor villager. he found it difficult even to support his
