高二英语质检试题（笔试答题时间120分钟，满分120分）第I卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节:话题语篇（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AHummingbirds (蜂鸟) are very small birds. This small bird is quite an acrobat (杂技演员). Only a few birds, such as kingfishers and sunbirds, can hover, which means to stay in one place in the air. But no other bird can match the flying skills of the hummingbird. The hummingbird can hover, fly backward and fly upside down!Hummingbirds got their name because their wings move very quickly when they fly. This causes a humming sound. Their wings move so fast that you cant see them at all. This takes a lot of energy. These little birds must have food about every 20 minutes to have enough strength to fly. Their favorite food is nectar (花蜜). Nectar is the sweet water deep inside a flower. Hummingbirds use their long, thin bills to drink from flowers. When a hummingbird drinks nectar, it hovers in front of a flower. It never touches the flower with its wings or feet.Of all the birds in the world, the hummingbirds colors are among the brightest. Some are bright green with red and white markings. Some are purple. One kind of hummingbird can change its color from reddish-brown to purple to red!The hummingbirds nest is special, too. It looks like a small cup. The inside of the nest is very soft. This is because one of the things the mother bird uses to build the nest is the silk from a spiders web (蜘蛛网).1. What is special about hummingbirds?A. They are the only birds that can hover.B. They have excellent flying skills.C. They can walk on water.D. They can fly very high.2.

A kind of hummingbird has one color.C. The hummingbird is one of the prettiest birds.D. Some hummingbirds change their colors for protection.4. According to the text, a hummingbirds nest is _.A. difficult to findB. hard and strongC. made by the father birdD. built partly from spider silkBWe just love giving cards inBritain. If theres a special occasion coming up, theres no doubt that well be there, card in hand, to celebrate it.And this isnt just for birthdays; we also give cards when people are ill or when they have got a new job. And even if you forgot somebodys birthday, there are even “sorry its late” cards.So you can pretty much find a card for any occasion.Before coming toItalyI had never even considered that our love for card giving might not be shared by other countries. In fact, my workmates told me that hardly anyone sends Christmas cards inItalyand that they actually dont really give birthday cards either! Unbelievable! In theUK, if a close friend or family member didnt get me a card Id feel upset! However, the only place you can buy cards inItalyis in a shop which sells school things. In comparison, we have whole shops that sell them in theUKand we even have different types of card shops.Although cards can take up your time, from choosing the perfect one, to thinking up the personal message inside, I think its a really nice gesture. And especially with Christmas cards, it adds to that festive feeling. When I sit down to write countless cards to friends and family, I get that little bit happier that it will be Christmas soon! Especially when I see my own Christmas cards, proudly sitting on my desk wishing me a very merry Christmas.Of course, the problem comes when theyre no longer needed, when Christmas is over. It makes me sad just to throw them all away, so I try and hang on to my favorite ones.5. According to Paragraph 1, in theUKcard giving _.A. is very popularB. is changing peoples livesC. is mainly carried out on birthdaysD. is more common between family members6.
