甘肃省民勤县第一中学2020学年高二英语下学期第一次月考试题 1 阅读理解第一节：从所给的四个选项中选出正确答案。AThe Keel-billed Toucan(彩虹巨嘴鸟) is also known as the Rainbow-billed Toucan because of the colourful bill that the Keel-billed Toucan has. The Keel-billed Toucans bill can reach lengths of nearly 20cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel-billed Toucans body. The Keel-billed Toucans bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world, and its more a green colour than anything else.As with other species of toucans, the size of the Keel-billed Toucans bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself as its bill is made out of keratin, which is very light but still very strong.The Keel-billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South America where it lives in holes in the trees, often with several other Keel-billed Toucans. In order to make sure that there is enough space for them all, the Keel-billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.The Keel-billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit. However, because of the surprising dexterity of its bill, the Keel-billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects, if theres not enough fruit.The Keel-billed Toucan is an extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own. As well as nesting together, the Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups. Different from what people think though, the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.A female Keel-billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in the hole of a tree, which usually hatch within a few weeks. Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.1. How does the Keel-billed Toucan save space for other birds?A. By sleeping with others closely.B. By finding a bigger hole in the tree.C. By sleeping in groups of more than three.D. By putting certain organs under their body.2. According to the passage, people often think that the Keel-billed Toucan _.A. can fly very well B. wont eat bird eggsC. often lives alone D. often jumps around3. After the Keel-billed Toucans babies are born, the babies are looked after _.A. by other birdsB. only by female Keel-billed ToucansC. by both parentsD. only by male Keel-billed ToucansBFriendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in the month of August. People give their loved ones or friends friendship bracelets (手镯) and other gifts to celebrate their friendship. The culture of friendship bracelets is as old as even thousands of years.After the World War II, the paracord (伞绳) bracelets became very popular. These were also known as survival bracelets. One of the main reasons is that it was often used for a rescue purpose. Paracord, used in the parachute, does not wear away easily and is strong anddurable. Because of its light weight, people could carry it along easily. If required, it could be made a very long rope and be used as a rescue rope. Hunters used it to find their way that they could return without getting lost.Today there are all kinds of paracord bracelets, made of coloured strings. Girls like thinner and colourful bracelets. Many choose to make the bracelets by themselves for their dear friends. This not only appeals more to the feelings of people but also makes them know how much their friends mean to them. People keep the bracelets given by their friends long. Many people choose coloured strings keeping the depth of their friendship in mind. White, yellow, orange and red show the different levels of friendship. Pure friendship is shown in white; the red colour means love. An orange friendship bracelet is given to show strong friendship and yellow as simple friendship. Today, not only do the young people like these friendship bracelets, but even the old do.Does friendship have an age? Yes. Friendship is like the wine, and the older you get, the older and stronger your friendship is.4、What was the main reason for paracord bracelets becoming popular?A、They could bring you good luck. B、They were colourful and beautiful.C、They could be used as rescue ropes.D、They were used in the parachute.5、What can we learn from the passage?A、Friendship Day is the first day of August.B、Hunters used paracord to catch animals.C、few girls like thinner and colorful braceletsD、Many people make the bracelets by themselves.6、What is the text mainly about?A、The importance of friendship.B、The culture of friendship bracelets.C、The ways to celebrate Friendship Day.D、The history of Friendship Day.CStudents decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons: on the one hand, they need money; on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want to see what working means.It is a good opportunity to know about the society and realize the importance of co-working with others.But is it good to take a job while you are a university student. If we were to think about the advantages we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job from an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and dont need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. Whats worse, some students may even get bored with study.Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.7. The writer believes that some college students work _.A. for further education. B. for pleasureC. to support their familyD. to learn something practical8. according to the passage ,college students who take a job can_A. make more friends B. prepare them for their future careersC. win free journeysD. have complete independence from their family9. Taking a job may cause students to _.A. be absent from their examsB. lose their interest in their studiesC. be in conflict with their roommatesD. receive punishment from their teachers10. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that college students _ .A. had better take a part-time job during vacationB. should not take a jobC.should keep a balance between work and study D. should learn by doing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 Manage MoneyKnowing where money goes can be a tough challenge.
