河北省泊头市第一中学2020学年高一英语上学期第三次月考试题（ 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分）第I卷（共100分）第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15题：每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AToday, in many places, like restaurants and hotels, people use Wechat or other kinds of payment to pay for their bills. So some scholars say that the wallet is heading for extinction. It will die off with the generation who read printed newspaper. The kind of shopping where you hand over notes and count out change in return now happens only in small retail(零售) counters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstract. At the most famous retail store Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, you dont have to stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa. Wherever you go, you can get an excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe Im just old-fashioned. But earning money isnt quick or easy for most of us. Isnt it a bit weird(怪异的) that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye?But Ill leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it reflects in our physical environment. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. When we pay for anything, instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners in a wallet, what we need to do is to move our fingers left and right. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.21. According to the text, customers can pay their bills _ in big modern stores.A. secretly B. separatelyC. electronicallyD. mentally22. What makes the writer feel uncomfortable nowadays?A. Saving money is out of date. B. Spending money is so fast and easy.C. Earning money is getting more difficult. D. The pleasure of spending money is fading.23. The writer implies that_.A. he likes the nature of his wallet B. he is against technological progressC. he feels insecure about the changes of the modern paymentD. he wants to return to the old traditions of the old society.中华.资*源%库 BDespite gains in recent years，women still fall behind men in some areas of math achievement，and the question of why has caused heated argument. Now，a study of first and second graders suggests what may be part of the answer：Female primary school teachers who are concerned about their own skills could be passing that along to the little girls they teach.Young students tend to model themselves after adults of the same sex，explained Beilock，an associate professor in psychology at the University of Chicago. Little girls may learn to fear math from the women who are their earliest teachers. Beilock and her colleagues studied 52 boys and 65 girls in classes taught by 17 different teachers. Ninety percent of the US primary school teachers are women，as was all of those in this study.Students math ability was not related to teachers math anxiety at the start of the school year，but at the end of the year，the more anxious teachers were about their own skills，the more likely their female studentsbut not the boyswere to agree to that “boys are good at math and girls are good at reading”In addition，the girls who answered that way scored lower on math tests than either the classes boys or the girls who had not developed such a belief，the researchers found.After seeing the results，the researchers recommended that the math requirements for obtaining a primary education teaching degree should be rethought. “If the next generation of teachers，especially primary school teachers，is going to teach their students more effectively，more care needs to be taken to develop both strong math skills and positive math attitudes in these educators,” the researchers wrote.“Girls who grow up believing females lack math skills wind up avoiding harder math classes. It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers，particularly in science technology,” Beilock said.24. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that _.A. teachers in US primary schools are mostly femalesB. the students involved in the study are starters at primary schoolC. young students usually follow example of their female teachersD. its true that boys do well in math while girls do well in reading25. We can we infer from the text?A. Beilocks study will bring about a primary education revolution.B. Girls lack of confidence in math skills affects their future jobs.C. The performance of the students changed little during the process of the study.D. The researchers argued that current primary school education needed improving.26. Whats the suggested solution to the phenomenon mentioned in the text?A. Using different approaches to excite students interest in math.B. Reducing the number of situations that make teachers anxious.C. Creating more chances for boys and girls to work together in class.D. Improving teachers math skills and changing their math attitudes.27. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Girls may learn math anxiety from female teachers.B. Boys are free from the math anxiety of female teachers.C. Primary school teachers have a far-reaching influence on students.D. Students should learn how to hold positive attitudes towards math.CIn the late 1950s, a Russian geneticist called Dmitry K. Belyaev attempted to create a tame (驯化的) fox population. Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals. His test subjects were silver-black foxes, a melanistic (带黑色的) version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur.He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened. About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak “wild-response”, meaning they were docile around humans. Those that hid in the comer or made aggressive voices were left in the farm. Of those friendly foxes, 100 females and 30 males were chosen as the first generations of parents.When the young foxes were born, the researchers hand-fed them. They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old, for strictly measured periods at a time. If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response, even after significant human contact, they were thrown away from the population-meaning they were made into fur coats. In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation.By the fourth generation, the scientists started to see dramatic changes. The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs. They wagged their tails and “eagerly” sought contact with humans. By 2020, almost all the foxes were playful, friendly and behaving like domestic dogs. The foxes could “read” human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances.28. What do we know about Belyaevs breeding plan?A. It explains how red foxes were bred.B. It focuses on how tame animals evolved.C. It explains why pet foxes became popular.D. It concentrates on why tame animals disappeared.29. How did he choose his test foxes in the experiment?A. By appearance. B. By color.C. By reaction. D. By flexibility.30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?中/华-资*源%库A. Smart foxes were used for testing.B. The purpose of selection was unclear.C. Friendly foxes were kept on testing.D. The selection was not exact and thorough.31. What is the distinguishing characteristic of the fourth generation foxes?A. Behaving in a friendlier way. B. Eating plants.C. Having drooping ears. D. Having shortened legs.DCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people dont even notice that theyre doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed. Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your anklewhat we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage. So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.Z32. What can we learn about crossing ones legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It can do harm to peoples health.C. It is usually practiced deliberately.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.33. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can_.A. affect your blood pressureB. resist gravity effectivelyC. lead to heart attacks easilyD. improve the function of legs34. In the third paragraph “pins and needles” probably means_.A. being highly flexibleB. being a little tiredC. serious muscle injuriesD. slight sharp pains35. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habits.B. To evaluate effects of an experiment.ZC. To give readers some advice. D. To introduce research methods.中/华-资*源%库第二节 (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。Five Life Skills Your Teen Should Learn Before Moving Out_36_ Teens should understand the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition.
