Dear Zhanghao,
Having received your letter, I feel sorry to know that you have difficulty in learning English. I can understand your feeling now, but don’t worry too much and I’m writing to give you some suggestions.
First of all, don’t be disappointed and just believe in yourself. Secondly, you’d better memorize some set phrases and sentence structures and practice making sentences with them. Thirdly, spend more time in reading and reciting good passages, which will contribute to building your vocabulary and help to better your writing skills. Last but not least, keeping a diary in English is a good way to improve your English writing. You can have a try without delay.
I hope you will find these suggestions useful and I believe with your determination, you can manage to overcome these difficulties. Please let me know without hesitation if you need any help. Best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face. He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of the gifts of his and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I think she was showing off her efforts on the decoration but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read “We will never forget you. Merry Christmas!” Under the letter was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved to tears.

Soon she released her first album, Music of the Sun, which sold close to 2 million copies. This was followed by more hit albums and songs, including Umbrella, Diamond, and Stay.
In 2017, Rihanna created Fenty Beauty, the first beauty brand to offer 40 different shades of foundation. In 2012, she started the Clara Lionel Foundation to support educational programs around the world and to help pay school fees for youth from poor countries. Through the foundation, Rihanna also built a cancer treatment center in Barbados and set up projects to help developing areas better prepare for natural disasters.
This year, Rihanna’s foundation has given away $5 million for coronavirus relief efforts. Even with all that she has achieved, Rihanna is just getting started. Whether in the area of music, business, or charity, she continues to win the world’s love and respect.兴文县2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考

A
Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A．is similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.
HOV lanes (车道)
On many L. A．freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing trailers (拖车) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in them.
Toll (收费) lanes
On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10 freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L. A．
Cell phones
It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a ticket.
Alcohol
Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L.A．The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.
21．What do you know about HOV lanes
A．They encourage people to share cars.
B．They are on the far right of freeways.
C．They are intended for larger vehicles.
D．They allow cars to enter over the double yellow line.
22．Which is surely against the road rules in L. A．
A．Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.
B．Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.
C．Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.
D．Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0. 08%.
23．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A traffic law. B．A road map.
C．A guidebook. D．A report.
B
Some scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic (地震的) activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified a variety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes.
Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Scientists believe most human-related earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes. Another human activity leading to earthquakes is fracking (水力压裂) for oil and gas, including the high pressure waste water processing that usually goes with fracking. In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.
Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.
These aren’t the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions.
24．What does the underlined part “fault lines” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Regions with active human actions. B．Places associated with natural balance.
C．Zones where natural resources are rich. D．Areas where earthquakes tend to happen.
25．What do mining and oil producing have in common
A．They break the balance of nature. B．They destroy the stability of rocks.
C．They use high pressure to get resources. D．They do much damage to Earth’s surface.
26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A．The 2008 earthquake is the worst in history. B．Construction of dams should be stopped.
C．Tons of water must cause earthquakes. D．The location of a dam matters much.
27．What does the text mainly tell us
A．Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes.
B．Progress has been made on earthquake research.
C．Humans are to blame for some earthquakes.
D．Earthquakes are no longer nature-made.
C
My track and field coach, Mr. Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4×100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr. Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practiced passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should be as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let it go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the corner. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose ” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.
28．What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to
A．Going too slowly. B．Taking off too late.
C．Passing the baton. D．Going beyond the yellow line.
29．Why was the author confident of winning the race
A．They worked as a team and were supported by the spectators.
B．They gained an advantage of a stable state of mind in the race.
C．They had learned how to avoid breaking the rules in the race.
D．They had perfected the running speed and the passing of the baton.
30．What can we infer about the author
A．She ran too fast throughout the race. B．She lost his focus in the race.
C．Her start skill needed improving. D．She was not well-trained in running.
31．How would the author feel after the race
A．Proud. B．Grateful. C．Disappointed. D．Excited.
D
Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
32．What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．The more, the better. B．Enough is enough.
C．More money, more worries. D．Earn more and spend more.
33．What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects
A．Saving up for her holiday B．Raising money for a poor girl
C．Adding the money to her fund D．Giving the money to a sick mother
34．Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd
A．To try out an idea B．To show a parent’s love
C．To train his attention D．To help him start a hobby
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Take It or Leave It B．A Lesson from Kids
C．Live More with Less D．The Pleasure of Giving

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas miming came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad. Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection (检查) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gins, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.
