1、福建省莆田第七中学2020-2021学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题一阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、四个选项中选出最佳选项。A In every school there is a top crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a br
2、ight red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing
3、 danger to peoples lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场） Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, The crowd does
4、 it. Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. Learn to say, No Make your own judge. If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, please have the courage to leave them politely. Youll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.1 .

7、 We couldnt wait to get outside. Sure, we knew that growing up was to be about going to school and doing homework, but for us the most important thing was having fun. As soon as school was over, wed run home, eat something, and rush outside to take care of our real business, hanging about (闲逛) with
8、our friends. Hanging about was our time, when we didnt have to deal with the annoyances (烦事) of the family life. Wed be with our friends traveling the range of our imaginations, inventing a new game with bottle caps. We were ruled only by ourselves and answered to no one but ourselves. We played all
9、 kinds of games, but most of our activities involved a ball. City kids played “official” ball games like baseball, football, and basketball but we also had a whole range of less formal ball games to draw upon for fun. These games had simple rules, needed a few people and took almost no time to get g
10、oing. The games could be the center point of attention, but they usually occurred while the main event, hanging about, took place. Thats how it was, just you and your friends. It wasnt about having your mom allow a play date with another mom; it wasnt about organized sports. You didnt need organizat
11、ion, time, planning, or equipment. You made creative use of the urban landscape. Fields of play were the sidewalks, streets and walls. Bases were cars, lamp posts and garbage cans. Equipment usually was made of some household things, but there was one thing that was necessary: a rubber ball.5. Accor
12、ding to the author, the kids desired to .A. grow up quicklyB. make new friendsC. go to schoolD. play with friends6.

13、e popular with city kidsB. didnt have strict rulesC. usually happened at schoolD. required a number of players8. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. The kids used to play at home.B. The games took place almost anywhere.C. The kids spent a lot of money on the games.CIn modern society there
14、 is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who
15、held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while sonic
16、seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or s
17、ociety.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the b
18、elief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self respect relies on how well one performs in
19、 comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.9.What does this passage mainly talk about? A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.B.Opinions about competition are differ
20、ent among people.C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.10.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage? A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages
21、individual efforts.11.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to win B.those who value competition most highly C.those who are against competition most strongly D.those who rely on others most for success12.What is the similar belief of the true compet
22、itors and those with a “desire to fail”? A.Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.Ones success in competition needs great efforts.C.Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.DCulture shock has many stages. Each stage c
23、an appear only at certain times. Culture begins with the “ honeymoon”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time. Afterwards, the second stage presents itself. A person may en
24、counter some difficult times in daily life. This period of culture adjustment (调整) can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting the new culture. This “rejection stage” can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking too much.The third
25、 stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. And you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! This is called the “
26、adjustment stage”. The fourth stage can be called “ at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new environment. You can deal with most problems. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. If you meet someone from your country wh
27、o has just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock.The fifth stage is the stage that is called the “re-entry shock.” This occurs when a return to the country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For examp
28、le, some of the newly learned customs are not in use in the old culture.13. What could be the best title of the passage?A. How to Fight Cultural ShockB. Stages of Cultural ShockC. Origin of Cultural ShockD. How to Adjust to New Cultural14. In which stage may people miss their friends and relatives a
29、nd feel homesick most?A. The “honeymoon stage”B. The “rejection stage”C. The “adjustment stage”D. The “re-entry shock”15. Why do people experience the “re-entry shock”?A. The place is not the same as beforeB. The old customs have changes over the yearsC. They are not used to the local customs.D. The
30、y are no longer what they used to be.七选五What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 16 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know. Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOV
31、E a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 17 Happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason
32、 for its existence（存在）. 18 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they
33、get a sense of purpose by doing so. 19 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things
34、they love the most. 20 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.B. What are the things that these p
35、eople do differently?C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.E. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them.F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most
36、important for living a full life”.G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they dont try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.二.完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) These days, the custom that wives should cook has changed in Japan, especially people in their 20s and 30s tend
37、 to think so. Among 21 in that age group, both husbands and wives have 22 and they are very busy, so they tend to think that sharing the housework is 23.
