2015-2016学年宁夏育才中学勤行校区高一下学期6月月考英语Agatha Christie used to go out at night. She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago.That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2 oclock in the morning. Without company, Agatha walked home along the quiet street. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building, a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I dont think you wish to die here!”“What do you want?” Agatha asked. “Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground. “Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didnt care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.” “Oh, sir. Its not worth much. Please let me keep it.” “Stop talking rubbish. Quick!” With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to her home. The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings (先令).1Agatha will never forget the night because _.A. she was robbed of her earringsB. she was robbed but she fooled the robberC. she had such a nice time at the partyD. it is dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night2Why did she try to protect her necklace? _.A.

But wherever I go on the streets, I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats; I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast; I get messages of Christmass best wishes from friends.I just got quite confused again, since when have Chinese begun celebrating Christmas Day? What do these people celebrate it for, the birth of Chris? But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians, they dont even know the origin of Christmas Day, and they celebrate it for no reason.I dont celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since Im not a Christian and nor am I a westerner. I dont know what Christmas really means. Anyway I cant get reasonable answers from my friends. Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival. Some of them think Im an old-fashioned girl, a bigot who doesnt appreciate the spirit of Chinese cultural tolerance(宽容) and understanding of other cultures. Well, if it is about cultural tolerance, why dont we ever celebrate the month of Muharram, or festivals of colours in India, or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico?I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations, but I dont think this is what its about. People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones.Is it part of globalization(全球化)？ Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas?4 It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _.A. is an old-fashioned girlB. doesnt like festivals at allC. prefers western festivals to Chinese festivalsD. prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals5 According to the writer, many Chinese people celebrate Christmas _.A. for no reasonB. for the birth of ChrisC. because most of them are ChristiansD. because they dont like Chinese festivals6 The underlined word “bigot” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. a very brave person B. a very stubborn personC. a very careful person D. a very popular person7 We can learn from the passage that _.A. more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals nowB.

It started in 1955 with just one restaurant, but now has more than 20000 worldwide. There are more than 12000 McDonalds restaurants only in the US. You can find them in 100 countries on six continents. There isnt a McDonalds in Antarctica, but I dont suppose they eat hamburgers at the South Pole. When you eat at a McDonalds restaurant you are joining the 35 million people who eat and drink at McDonalds every day, and there are more than one million people who work there. McDonalds has sold 100 billion hamburgers since it opened, and it sells more than 6.8 million pounds of French Fries every day.How do you like your hamburger restaurant? There are old McDonalds - part of one restaurant in England is 600 years old. There are elegant(高雅的) McDonalds - there is one on the Champs Elysees in Paris. There are cool McDonalds - there is one in Hollywood. There are McDonalds restaurants on ships and trains, in hospitals and zoos, in airports and in colleges.Clearly many people like the speed, hygiene(卫生) and cheapness of fast food restaurants. However, not everyone likes fast food. Some people question the nutritional value of the food; some people think the fast food causes too much waste and pollution. So the fast food business gives us plenty of food for thought, as well as convenient, affordable meals.8There are _ McDonalds restaurants outside the US now.A. about 20000 B. about 8000C. about 12000 D. about 320009How many people does each McDonalds employees serve on average every day? _A.

Although there are those who may disagree, yet Edison was one of the greatest inventors in America. Born in 1847 in Ohio, Thomas Edison attended school for only three months. After his teacher said that he could not learn, Edisons mother decided to teach him at home. There he was allowed to study the subjects that most interested him. By age ten, Edison had built a science laboratory of his own. Edison got his first job at age twelve on the railway selling candy and newspapers. There he once saved a boy whose father was the boss of the railway station. In return the boss helped him a lot.In his late twenties, Edison built an “invention factory” where he and his business partners could devote all their time to inventing. After improving upon the telephone, Edison created the phonograph(留声机). Although Edison did not actually invent the light bulb, he did create an electric lighting system which led to its widespread use. Edison set up the first central electric power station in 1882, so New York became the first city in the world to have electric lights. This was the beginning of the modern world in which electricity became a way of life. The following year, one of Edisons engineers discovered electrons(电子), which at last led to electronics. Without electronics, we might not have radio, TV, computers, or space travel. The rest of Edisons life was spent making and improving inventions.Thomas Edison died at the age of eighty-four in 1931. Three days later, much of America dimmed(使暗淡) its lights in honor of the inventora man who had more impact (影响)on the development of present-day civilization than anyone else in history. 12 The passage tells us that _.A. Edison didnt like to study at schoolB. Edison invented the light bulb in his late twentiesC. even without electronics, we might have radio, TV, computers, or space travelD. New York was the first city in the world to have electric lights13From the passage, we can infer that _.A. Edisons teacher thought Edison was not worth teachingB. Edisons mother stopped Edison studying at schoolC. Edison didnt invent many things in all his lifeD. Edison didnt spend his life working on these inventions when he was old14Why did many Americans dim their lights when Edison died? _.A. Americans wanted to save more energy.B.
