陕西省咸阳百灵中学2020届高三英语上学期第二次月考试题（无答案）第卷(共80 分)一、阅读理解（每小题 2分， 共40分） AWalking is good for you.Its good for your heart，for your lungs，for the muscle and bone growth of your children.Strong scientific evidence now supports the many benefits to health of regular walking.Walking is connected with reduced death rates for both older and younger adults.In other words，walkers live longer!In particular，walking has a great effect on cardiovascular disease(心血管病)Fit and active people have around half the risk of cardiovascular disease compared to unfit inactive people.Even 10minute walks can increase fitness.One study at Loughbrough University found that women walking continuously for 30 minutes 5 days a week had almost the same increases in fitness as women who divide their 30 minutes into three 10minute walks.The majority of studies of young people indicate falling participation in physical activity.Only half of 1116yearolds currently walk for ten minutes a day.Children in Britain walk 50 miles a year less than they did a decade ago.Around 20% of children can be classed as overweight.TV，computers，cultural changes and fears for childrens safety out of doors play a large part.Walking offers a great way to help kids get the active habit.If parents express excitement about the prospect of a walk in the countryside，they are more likely to pass this feeling to their children.Its important to treat the walk as an exploration or adventure and to go at the childs pace，no matter how often they want to stop and look at things; take treats to eat and plenty to drink; and head for some landmark that will attract them such as a castle，a playground，an ice cream car or a boating pond.If children experience walking as part of a fun activity they are more likely to want to go again.【语篇解读】走路对人很有好处，这一点众所周知。但到底走路对我们有哪些好处，可能很多人并不太了解吧。1The best title for this passage is _AWalking for Weight Control of WomenBWalking Plays an Important Part in HealthCWalking for Childrens Mental HealthDWalking to Regain Health after Illness2We know from the passage that regular walking _Acan make people live longer and healthyBhas nothing to do with cardiovascular diseaseCincreases fitness only if you walk as fast as you canDwill help you put on much weight in a short time3Why do young people walk less nowadays than before?ABecause they have more homework to do.BBecause they want to learn more knowledge on TV.CBecause their parents worry about their safety.DBecause they have fitness equipment at home.4In the last paragraph the author suggests that _Achildren should be led by parents when they play out of doorsBparents should help their children form a habit of walkingCparents should not care about their children too muchDchildren should do more explorative and adventure activitiesBMy Grandmother was from a town of Michigan.Summer after summer I enjoyed staying with her as a young child.I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in.People knew everyone，their kids，their pets，and other things.Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.Shed made beautiful quilts for each one.I remember the small thimble(顶针) she would use while doing her needle work.A few years ago when Grandma died，I lost a loving Grandmother.How quickly our lives can change.We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier，on her 91st birthday.I missed her very much.On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low，something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me.I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made，and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow.It was small and hard.I moved the object to a seam(接缝) that I carefully opened，and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble！How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her.Not realizing it had fallen off her finger，I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day.I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others Ive collected over the years，where I could continue to see the gift God chose to give to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow.I made some tea，using my best china，as Grandma always did，and enjoyed my tea and Grandmas thimble.What a wonderful birthday that was!5The writer wrote this passage in order to _Ashow how she missed her grandmaBexpress a desire to lead a simple lifeCcall on people to care for the oldDrecall the good deeds her grandma did6The reason why the writer liked staying with her grandparents is that _Athey often bought her some birthday giftsBshe was curious about people and things thereCshe could have tea parties and eat sandwichesDshe could learn to sew something from her grandmother7Which of the following words can best describe the writer when she found the silver thimble?ASad.

thicker if you like，but they will take much longer to cook thoroughly.Cover the meat pie with plastic wrap and put the plate into the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes.This will help the meat

delicious and more beautiful.DTo help the meat stick together when they are cooking.12 The text is most probably taken from _Aa newspaper report Ba library guideCa cooking book Da science reportDAccording to the scientists the mystery of disappeared ships and airplanes in the region called “The Bermuda Triangle” has been solved.The “Triangle” simply suffers from a serious case of gas.Natural gas，specifically methane(甲烷)，is the criminal behind the mysterious disappearances and loss of ships and airplanes.Researchers hypothesized that large methane bubbles(泡沫) rising from the ocean floor might account for many of the mysterious disappearances of ships and airplanes at specific locales around the world.Oceanographic surveyors of the sea floor in the area of the Bermuda Triangle and the North Sea region between continental Europe and Great Britain have discovered significant quantities of methane hydrates and older eruption sites.Because of the correlations and existing data，scientists imagined what would happen when methane bubbles explode from natural fissures on the seafloor.The methane can become dislodged and transform into gaseous bubbles expanding as they explode upwards.When these bubbles reach the surface of the water they rise into the air，still expanding upwards and outwards.Any ships caught within the methane bubbles immediately lose all buoyancy(浮力) and sink to the bottom of the ocean.If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock airplanes out of the sky with little or no warning.Using the latest computer modeling，scientists tested their theory.To provide a check on the accuracy of their hypothesis，scientists built a large tank，filled it with water to simulate the regions of the earth where ships and planes have reportedly disappeared over the last century，and launched large methane gas bubbles from the bottom of the tank towards a toy ship floating on the surface of the water.The results were impressive and the physical tests mirrored the computer model.Scientists found that the ship sank if it was between the middle of a bubble and its outer edges.If the ship was far away from the edge of the bubble the ship would sail on safely.Despite not sinking，however，if the methane bubble was big enough and the ship was positioned at or near the center of the bubble when it surfaced，every one on the ship could be asphyxiated(窒息)This would account for several famous cases where ships were found in the Triangle with everyone aboard dead without a scratch.13The region “The Bermuda Triangle” is dangerous for ships and airplanes because _Athere are large methane bubbles rising from the ocean floor in this regionBvolcanoes in this area often erupt more fiercely than those of other regionsCthe weather of this region is always changing sharply from time to timeDthe gravity of this region is larger than that of other regions of the world14It can be known from the passage that when ships meet with methane bubbles _Athey will be pushed upwards by the explosion of methane bubblesBthey will be covered with dust produced by the explosion of methane bubblesCthey will be exploded along with the explosion of methane bubblesDtheir buoyancy will lose and they will sink to the bottom of the ocean15When people on the ship died without any injury，the ship might be _Aaround the outer edges of the bubbleBat or near the center of the bubbleCfar away from the edge of the bubbleDout of control of the bubble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。How to
