People tend to treat anger as something terrible and unacceptable.Many parents around the world teach their children to suppress (or ignore their anger.Intentionally or not,they show their children that feeling angry is wrong,and it is better to always look calm and balanced. However,that is not right.Anger plays an extremely important role in a person's emotional health. Anger can be effectively used to establish and defend your individual principle,personal space, sense of justice,beliefs,and so on.When another person somehow annoys you,one of the first emotions you normally experience is anger,along with the urge to fix an unpleasant situation or do something else to defend yourself.Generally,anger explains your readiness to face threat and gives you strength to do so.Therefore,when used with care,it is your best weapon for emergencies. Anger can serve to cover some other emotions of yours if they are less appropriate.Sometimes, expressing fear is unacceptable,especially for men.For instance,masculinity(男子气概)and bravery are highly valued among men in some traditional cultures.So,covering fear with anger, acting aggressively remains a more appropriate choice for men.And this is an effective strategy,not just in terms of saving one's reputation within a certain social group,but dealing with difficulties and overcoming barriers. Anger is an extremely powerful emotion and it is not recommended to suppress or ignore it if it is not dangerous.A person who has been covering and hiding his or her anger cannot get rid of it,and the anger will still build up inside,finally resulting in violence as a response to a situation that does not require it.What you can do is express it in socially acceptable ways in most circumstances. Therefore,anger itself is not a bad thing.And it is important to leamn how to manage anger, express it in a nonviolent way,and redirect it in constructive directions.So,do not ignore your anger.You should face it,accept it,and lear how to deal with it. 【月考卷（一）·英语第4页（共8页）选择性必修第一册-)-G-唐】 28.What can we know from paragraph 1?

D Last month,a study was published that examined climate change's direct effects on the Earth's seasons.Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season.Summers in the Northern hemisphere()could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues,according to the study.With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture. Yuping Guan,a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northemn hemisphere.Over the nearly 60-year period,they discovered that,on average,summers grew from 78 to 95 days,while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days.The spring and autumn seasons also shortened.Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (about how the seasons would possibly change in the future.They found that if left untouched,summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months,while winters could contract to less than two months. If the Earth's seasons continue to shift,it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture.Longer and hotter summers,for example,can cause mosquitoes and other disease- carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they're usually not found. "Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals,climate change could disturb species'ability to adapt,"said Scott Sheridan,a climate scientist."If seasons continue to change, everything isn't going to change perfectly as they should.If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground,those flowers could come out,but bees aren't there to pollinate them yet or they're already past their peak."With negative effects like these,human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward. This study further demonstrates how cruel climate change is to humans,plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share. 32.What did scientists find according to the study? A.Some seasons will disappear in their tracks. B.Global warming will be at its worst in 2100. C.Climate change affects the days of summers. D.Human health remains unharmed by climate change. 33.What does the underlined word"contract"in the second paragraph mean? A.Add. B.Extend. C.Keep. D.Shorten. 【月考卷（一）·英语第5页（共8页）选择性必修第一册-J-G-唐】 34.What can we infer about the effects of longer and holter summers? A.Mosquitoes can survive in more places. B.The environment will change as we wish. C.Human health and agriculture are hardly affected. D.Some species are more able to adapt to the change. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Is the Earth getting warmer? B.Is climate change bringing hardship? C.Is mankind to blame for longer summers? D.Is summer taking over from all other seasons? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The man who could see the futur.

C.Back in 1983,he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019. D.On the role that computing would play in the future,he was amazingly accurate. E.Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood. F.As an author,his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.
