河北省沧州市盐山中学2019-2020学年高二英语4月月考试题一、阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）a it was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before christmas 2005. while most people were warming up their cars, trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. on arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. after putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. the bike, a black kona 18 speed, was our only transport. trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. and the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. i was so sad that someone would steal our bike that i wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. one wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. it really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. people say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. this experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. and it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. no matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. and the results can be everlasting. 1.why was the bike so important to the couple? a.the mans job was bike racing. b.it was their only possession. c.it was a nice kona 18 speed. d.they used it for work and daily life. 2.we can infer from the text that _. a.the couple worked 60 hours a week b.people were busy before christmas c.the stranger brought over the bike d.life was hard for the young family 3.what do the couple learn from their experience? a.strangers are usually of little help. b.one should take care of their bike. c.news reports make people famous. d.an act of kindness can mean a lot.bi travel a lot,and i find out different “styles” (风格)of directions every time i ask “how can i get to the post office?”foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in japan because most streets there dont have names;in japan,people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. for example, the japanese will say to travelers,“go straight down to the corner. turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. the post office is across from the bus stop. ”in the countryside of the american midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. there are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. in kansas or iowa, for example, people will say, go north two miles. turn east,and then go another mile.people in los angeles, california, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time,not miles. “how far away is the post office?” you ask. “oh,”they answer, “its about five minutes from here. you say,“yes,but how many miles away is it?”they dont know.its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. what happens in such a situation? a new yorker might say,wsorry, i have no idea. but in yucatan, mexico, no one answers “i dont know. people in yucatan believe that “i dont know is impolite. they usually give an answer, often a wrong one. a tourist can get very, very lost in yucatan!4.when a tourist asks the japanese the way to acertain place,they usually .a.describe the place carefullyb.show him a map of the placec.tell him the names of the streetsd.refer to recognizable buildings and places5.which is the place where people measure distance in time?a.new york.b.los angeles.c.kansas.d.iowa.6.people in yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_.a.in order to save timeb.as a testc.so as to be polited.for fun7.what can we infer from the text?a.its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.b.its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.c.people have similar understandings of politeness.d.new yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.csports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. however, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.some sports are resource-hungry. golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. this causes major environmental effects. for example, in the dry regions of portugal and spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.there are many environment-friendly sport. power walking is one of them that you could take up today. you dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. if you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. but the final goal should be “green gyms”. they are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. there is no special requirement for you to start your membership. and best of all, its free.8.which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?a.playing basketball in a gymb.motor racing in the

the major influence of popular sportsd.introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsd going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. whether that is good or bad, we cant really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle. on april 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. this meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task. with the idea of going green every single day for a year, our green year started. my wife and i decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. we wanted to push the message that every little thing counts. over the course of our green year, we completely changed our lifestyle. we now shop at organic(有机的) stores. we consume less meat, choosing green food. we have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. we have given away half of what we owned through websites. our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. we make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. in our home office anyone caught doing something un-green might be punished. our minds have been changed by our green year. we are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. we believe that we do have the power to change things and help
