广东省两校2023-2024学年高一上学期第二次月考英语试卷
学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
I’ve been having trouble concentrating on one thing. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点) , which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day — with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying ”
Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention problems. I believe one can find his way out of difficulty with determination (决心) and efforts.
1、Why didn’t the author finish his reading in class
A. He missed several classes before.
B. He was not a bit interested in literature.
C. He was unable to concentrate on his task.
D. He was used to doing his homework at home.
2、What kind of teacher is Mrs. Smith according to the text
A. Impatient. B. Encouraging. C. Disappointing. D. Careless.
3、What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. You can never be too old to learn.
B. Do not judge a book by its cover.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Sitting close with your little ones from an early age and enjoying a book together is always a great way to spend time, but do you know reading to your children has a whole range of benefits that will give them a flying start in life
Firstly, it’s a great introduction to vocabulary. Seeing an adult sounding out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build up vocabulary that they will use for the rest of their life.
Then there are a variety of good effects of hearing stories which improve their minds and develop social awareness and skills. At a time when they are perhaps stuck indoors more than ever before, reading is the best way to motivate (激发) children’s imagination. They can travel to the moon, meet the Gruffalo and pop into a chocolate factory all before they’ve even had lunch!
There’s no better way to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes than reading their stories and seeing things from another’s point of view is a great way to build empathy (共鸣), tolerance and other qualities needed. There are some fantastic children’s books which show characters acting as strong role models. These stories can encourage future leaders and thinkers, so every child can feel they can achieve their dreams, from the Little Leaders series to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (叛逆女孩).
Now is the perfect time to build up a library of excellent reads ready for children to enjoy now and in the future. They will create memories to last a lifetime. On top of the benefits for your little ones, it’s fun, relaxing and a great chance to go back and reread the best books from your own childhood.
4、What kind of people is the text written for
A. Parents. B. Children.
C. Teachers. D. Leaders.
5、What does the underlined phrase “pop into” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Start. B.Visit.
C.Build. D.Leave.
6、In which way does Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls do good to children

C.Building a strong body. D.Bringing back sweet memories.
7、What is the text mainly about
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Children’s reading materials.
C. Benefits of reading to children.
D. Ways of reading children’s books.
Begun 30 years ago, the Kubuqi desert greening project has succeeded in not only controlling the fast growth of the seventh-largest desert in China, about the size of Kuwait, but also turning about 6, 000 square kilometers of the desert — one-third of it — green.
The desert lies about 800 kilometers to the west of Beijing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (自治区) and the greening efforts have also controlled desertification (沙漠化) in the rest of the area.
The project, which began about 30 years ago, can be looked to as an example of efforts to advance green development, in order to create harmony between humans and nature, and leave a better environment for future generations.
The success of the project, which has been praised by the UN Environment Programme as an “eco-pioneer”, sets an example for successful desertification control and ecosystem improvement based on effective government policies, supported by investment (投资) in the eco industry and combined with the efforts of local farmers. These three aspects are key to the success of the “Kubuqi model”.
Elion, a private ecology (生态) and investment company, has invested about 38 billion yuan ($5. 82 billion) in the Kubuqi desert-greening project since 1988 helping to lift about 102, 000 local farmers out of poverty. For example, the locals grow a drought-tolerant (耐旱) plant, Chinese licorice, which is the most used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The plant helps enrich the desert soil, with the bacteria around the roots of the plants producing nitrogen (氮气) . Besides, Cistanche, another type of drought-tolerant herb, was introduced after the successful planting of licorice. Under the company’s guidance and with the local government’s support, the local people benefit from the “environmental wealth”.
More companies should be encouraged to apply the “Kubuqi model” in other desert control projects in Inner Mongolia and neighboring Gansu province, where the climate conditions are similar but not quite the same, so as to further gain experience and enrich the model in practice. Showing it can be successfully applied in other areas will help promote the model worldwide.
8、What do we know about the Kubuqi greening project
A. It increases the areas of desert.
B. It has turned all of the desert green.
C. It has achieved satisfying results.
D. It is applied all over the world.
9、Which is NOT the reason for the success of the “Kubuqi model”
A. Efforts of local farmers.
B. Government policies’ support.
C. Investment in the eco-industry.
D. Help from the UN Environment Programme.
10、What is the author’s attitude towards the greening project
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
二、七选五
11、Helping others is an important part of life. ①_______. If you want to help others more but aren’t sure where to start, here are some tips that may help you.
②_______.
The easiest way to know how you can help others is simply to ask them. Talk to a family member or friend, ask them what they most need help with, and offer your services. Then, follow through and try your best to do what they’ve asked of you. Remember actions always speak louder than words!
Be proactive (积极主动的).
Look for opportunities to help and lend a hand without being asked. ③_______. For example, you can call your elderly grandpa to check in, bring your friend dinner while they’re sick or just hold the elevator door for a neighbor. Don’t wait for someone to ask for help — train yourself to think about all the different ways you can help people. Focus on being as friendly as possible, and you’ll get the hang of it!
Be a nonjudgmental (无偏见的) listener.
Sometimes, listening is more helpful and healing than practical assistance. Not everybody is looking for hands-on help or a solution to their problems. ④_______. When someone is telling you about a hardship they’re going through, listen actively and focus on understanding them rather than fixing their problems.
Send a thoughtful note.
⑤_______. Take time to send your loved ones notes or handwritten cards. When people feel isolated or cut off from their friends, even a small gesture can help them feel more connected and make their day brighter.
A. Ask people how you can help them
B. Think about what people may want
C. It gives you a sense of purpose and happiness
