2014-2015学年上学期高二年级第一次（九月）月考 英语试题 2014-09-23 第 I 卷基础知识部分（40分）第一节 阅读理解 （每个2分，共30分）AMy husband Desmond was once a financial（金融的） planner. Even though he couldnt balance our budget(预算), his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure. In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then. At that time, my yoga studio (瑜伽馆) was just starting to make a profit, and I had recently decorated it. At last, I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.When we first met, I fell hard for Desmond right away, although I wouldnt call it love Id never been with a man who was smarter than I was, but after a while I got used to this, and it didnt bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasnt love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Desmond was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then, without any warning, one gray winter afternoon in year five, he left his desk at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.He has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for color, texture, and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasnt something we had ever discussed. I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system. I didnt believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients, he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift (权宜之计)studio with all of his sketches(草图) pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wouldnt be able to design their living spaces after all.21As a financial planner, Desmond _.Apaid his client very well Bwas trusted by his clientsCwas making his yoga studio profitable Dcould make his familys budget balanced22His wife thought Desmond suddenly quit his job because he _.Acouldnt wait to be promoted Bhad experience in interior designCcouldnt bear the pressure from his job Dwanted to do something he enjoyed23The woman _ her husbands decision.Awas supportive of Bwas uninterested inCwas satisfied with Dwas negative about24It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Desmond _.Awas more likely to change his mind Bwould return to his office in the bankCmade a big business in interior design Dwas not well prepared for his business BWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities (素质，素养)as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists (心理学家)and other professionals(专业人员).One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do. Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing (裁员). After all, if you are a recognized expert in the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team. Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.25What is the passage mainly about?AThe influence of confidence on ones life. BThe difference of peoples confidence.CThe importance of confidence to success. DThe judgment on ones confidence.26Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _.Awho dream to be recognized experts Bwho expect to give guidance to othersCwho want to ask the boss for a raise Dwho think their goals are hard to reach27What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?AOutgoing. BAttractive. CImportant. DEnergetic.

With all those hormones (荷尔蒙) flooding their bodies, they can be moody, unpredictable, and tend to make uncertain choices. But however confusing their teenage years are, kids can still be generally happy, depending on their lifestyle choices. According to a new research by British scientists, teens who dont smoke, drink only moderately or not at all, and who dont eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens.The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings. For example, kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank. And teens who smoked were five times less likely to rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who dont smoke. Same goes for diet and physical activity. The more fruits and vegetables kids eat, and the more hours they spend playing sports, the happier they are.Now, of course this doesnt mean that not smoking or drinking, and playing sports guarantees happiness. It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking. And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking and smoking and eating junk food.Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression. Future studies may support the idea that other healthful behavior, including refraining (克制) from smoking, drinking, and eating too much junk, can avoid sadness and increase happiness, too. 32The author developed the second paragraph mainly by _.Amaking comparisons Bproviding statisticsCoffering examples Danalyzing causes33What can we learn from the text?ANot smoking or drinking guarantees happiness.BTeens with flooding hormones can not be happy.CPlaying sports can decrease teens unhappiness.DUnhappiness can certainly lead to smoking and drinking.34Which of the following might help teens quit anxiety?ASmoking and drinking. BTaking exercise.CEating junk food. DGoing on a diet.35Which can be the best title for the text?AWays to treat anxiety and depression BExercise and teenagers healthCTeenagers shouldnt drink or smoke DTeenagers lifestyle and their happiness第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文，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。Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule（安排）From my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time, _36_Money is a topic Ill save for another day.

I was walking along the east bank which I found myself standing under a big tree. Some visitors pointed their cameras highly at the tree. I looked up only to find a lovely squirrel松鼠 sitting on a low branch, busily ate something! Then it climbed down the tree and looked on food on the ground, which delighted everybody.Later that afternoon I returned to home and shocking news came from Internet. A visitor in his fifty, encouraged by his wife, rushed out, hit the squirrel to the ground and stepped on it heavily, causing the squirrel serious injured. It managed to climb the tree but then fall to the ground, dead!
