山西省朔州市怀仁某校2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题时间：120分钟 满分：150分第一部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 AMAY 14 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel. Many Israelis, however, are not in the mood to celebrate. Looking at the damage to her neighbors home from a Palestinian rocket, Batia Katar, a 17-year-old Israeli girl, was in tears. We cant celebrate (Israels) independence when things like this are happening, she said. What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country. The country has a dramatic (戏剧性) history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 years. Within hours after it was established in 1948, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land. It won that time, and in 1956, 1967 and 1973, acquiring the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Gaza and east Jerusalem For good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries. However, it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless. Different from all its neighbors in religion, Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors. It gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries. The country is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture. However, conflict exists, just like 60 years ago. And the signal of peace is as weak as ever. Palestinian militants (武装人员) have fired more than 7 000 missiles from Gaza, mainly at Sedro, killing 13 people. In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza have died in Israeli military action. In order to create peace, the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan. Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace. Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place. 1.

A. the government didnt organize it B. they are too busy to attend it C. it is dangerous to celebrate it D. conflicts and fights still exist 2.

Has a doctor said he couldnt find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there showed that there was nothing wrong with youThen, consider this：you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康)Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and diseaseAccording to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderlyThe percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weekSymptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑),slow reactions, insomnia(失眠),agitation, and poor memoryOther symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legsThe key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activitiesAs for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugarThey should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional element-vitamins and trace elements that are important to the bodyNutrition(营养)experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统)They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health5According to this passage, which of the following is right?AWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay home and keep silentBWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicineCWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should have yourself examined in foreign countriesDWhen you are in a state of sub-health, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself6Middle-aged people may be easy to get sub-health because _.

But, as we cant drink sea water, how can it be important? Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produces over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is! Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced. The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop. Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is! 9. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _. A. would change the balance of the food chain B. wouldnt be broken down in the seaC. wouldnt harm the fish in the sea D. wouldnt do much harm to the sea10. From the passage, we learn that _.

The use of international agreements. D The use of new techniques. 12. What would be the best title of the passage? A. Life in the oceans.B. The Importance of Seawater.C. How to Protect Food Chains.D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution. DIT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUMany people think there is no need to take special care over home safety.“Im all right, Im insured(投保).”Maybe-if youre fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place upon your possessions, because you cant insure against the suffering of mind that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some strangers, our windows and doors broken, our precious possessions ruined.“It wont happen to me.”Wont it? A house is broken into every minutes or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently. “Ive nothing worth stealing.”You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thiefs attention. And we all have things of special value to us even if theyre worth little or nothing in cash terms.“Im only a tenant(房客) here.”The thieves dont care whether youre a tenant or an owner-occupier. Youre just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary.“They all get in anyway.”Most thieves are on the lookout for easy pickings. They are soon discouraged by houses they cant get into quickly and easily. So do pay special attention.“This booklet(小册子) will help you”Its based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may cost some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and sadness you might otherwise suffer. If you are in any doubt, ask for free advice from the Crime Prevention Office at your local police station.13. The passage is mainly about _. A. how to protect your home B. how to take special care of ourselves C. how to hire a safe house in the country D. how to escape being caught 14. What does the sentence “A few may cost some expense” in the last two paragraphs mean?A. You should pay for some of the suggestions.B. Following the suggestions means you will have to spend some money on home protection.C. some people are willing to pay for the suggestions.D. Some of the suggestions are expensive.15. This passage is probably a (an) _.A. advertisement for selling safely-guarded houses B. article on crimeC. booklet from the Crime Prevention OfficeD. suggestion from insurance companies第二节 阅读选择 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。I have often heard people saying that English is an easy language to learn. _16_ Many speakers of languages are proud to say that their language is one of the hardest of all.
