As she once said to herself , “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age． She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927． Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it” she said． 4. What can we learn about Moses? A. She stopped painting in her late seventies. B. She still led an active life when she was old. C. Her marriage life was not happy. D. She painted oils as a child. 5. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing? A. Embroidering. B. Farming. C. Nursing. D. Painting. 6. What does the underlined word “portrayals ” in the last paragraph mean? A. Directions. B. Stages. C. Surveys. D. Descriptions. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ A. Grandma Moses: the Best Woman Painter B. Grandma Moses and Her Farm Life C. Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition D. Grandma Moses : A Famous Woman Painter of 20th Century 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲叙了20世纪美国著名的画家Grandma Moses的生平，介绍了她的作品和创作风格。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。第一段的最后No one could have had a more active old age．没有人的晚年能过得比 Moses更积极。可知，关于Moses我们能知道的是她老的时候仍然过着积极的生活。选项B切题，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。第二段的They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. 他们一生大部分时间都在耕种，先是在弗吉尼亚，然后是在纽约州，再是在鹰桥。可知，Grandma Moses一生绝大部分时间都在务农，选项B切题，故选B。 6题详解】 词义猜测题。第三段中的Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. 从20世纪30年代到去世，她创作了大约2000多副画：仔细而生动的描绘她所熟知很久的乡村生活，是色彩和形式感的奇妙结合。可知，画线词是对其画作的解读，画作反映其长期生活的乡村生活，所以画线词是（对乡村生活的）描述，选项D切题，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章一开头When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. 当谈到美国最著名的20世纪画家，Grandma Moses应该被提及，虽然她直到七十多岁才开始绘画。可知，文章要介绍的是20世纪美国著名的画家Grandma Moses，这是一篇人物传记类记叙文，文章标题要反应文章主旨，选项D ：Grandma Moses：20世纪著名的女画家，为短文最佳标题，故选D。 C Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people and caused a lot of damage. We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious. The Earths’ crust(地壳)is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such a Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible(可变动的), so when the Earth moves, they move with it. Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damages as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生)of earthquakes in the world. 8. The passage is mainly about ______. A. scientists who study earthquakes. B. the way of measuring earthquakes. C. a usual natural disaster—earthquakes. D. what people should do in the earthquake. 9. Which of the following statements about the earthquake in Shaanxi Province is NOT true? A. It happened in 1556. B. It killed almost one million people. C. In caused a lot of damage. D. It was followed by fires. 10. Why are modern buildings in Tokyo built to be flexible? A. To prevent the crust from quaking. B. To stop the plates from moving. C. To measure earthquakes. D. To move with the Earth. 11. According to the passage we know that tsunamis________. A. can cause earthquakes. B. are caused by earthquakes. C. only happen on land. D. are a way of measuring earthquakes. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了每年世界都会发生数百次的地震，有些造成了严重的破坏和损失。地震不仅会破坏天然气和石油管道，带来火灾，而且还可能引发海啸，造成巨大的破坏。而人们是通过里氏震级来衡量地震强度的。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.(每年在世界不同的地方都会发生数百次地震。)”以及第二段的“We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale.(我们用里氏震级来测量地震的强度。)”以及第三段的“The Earths’ crust(地壳)is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake.(地壳由称为板块的岩石层组成。当这些板块移动时，它们有时会相互碰撞，导致地壳震动。)”以及第四段“Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damages as the earthquake itself.(地震也会破坏天然气和石油管道。这可能导致火灾的发生，其破坏力不亚于地震本身。)”以及第五段的“Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸).(地震的另一个影响是海啸。)”可知，文章介绍了世界每年常发生的地震以及其形成过程、带来的破坏和影响等等，因此可知本文主要介绍地震这种常见的自然灾害。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people and caused a lot of damage.(最严重的地震之一发生在1556年的中国陕西省。它夺去了近一百万人的生命，造成了巨大的损失。)”可知，1556年发生在中国陕西省的地震是最严重的地震之一，使近一百万人丧命，带来了巨大的损失，但是文中并没有提到说带来火灾，因此D项“It was followed by fires.(随之而来的是火灾。)”不符合原文语意。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In cities such a Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible(可变动的), so when the Earth moves, they move with it.(在像东京这样经常发生小地震的城市，许多现代建筑被设计成可变动的，所以当地球移动时，它们也会跟着移动。)”可知，因为东京经常发生地震，所以其许多建筑物被建成很可变动的，这样如果发生地震，它们可以随着地球震动而移动，就可以减轻地震带来的破坏，因此可知，其建筑物设计的目的就是随地球而动。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.(地震的另一个影响是海啸。这些是海底地震产生的巨浪。)”可知，地震也会造成海啸，尤其当海底爆发地震时，就会产生巨浪，而这些巨浪就是我们所了解的海啸。故选B项。 D China will deliver its first homemade C919 large passenger plane by the end of 2022, reported Xinhua. The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), gained the type certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) at the end of September. “The type certificate means the C919 has the ‘certificate of entering’ into the civil aviation market.” Yang Zhenmei a senior CAAC official, told Xinhua. It also shows that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry. The C919 is a fourth-generation aircraft, which has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. It has 158 to 168 seats. With a range of 4,075 to 5,555 kilometers, the C919 is able to fly between any two cities in China. So far, 800 C919 aircraft have been ordered by 28 customers. Its aerodynamically — designed wings made from advanced metals and composites (复合材料) help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets. Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of the C919, said he believes China will need around 2,000 narrow-body jets like the C919 in the future. “It will take up more than 70 percent of the commercial aircraft in China’s civil aviation industry. We decided to make this kind of plane because it’s the most needed product in the market.” said Wu. 12. What can we learn about the C919 from the first two paragraphs? A. It was delivered to foreign customers. B. It was built with the help of other countries C. It was moved out of the civil aviation market. D. It got the type certificate from CAAC in September. 13. What probably makes the C919 better than other narrow-body jets? A. The size of the C919. B. The distance that the C919 can fly. C. The advanced technology the C919 used. D. The number of passengers that the C919 can hold. 14. What can we know from Wu Guanghui’s words? A. The C919 has huge market potential. B. The C919 is welcomed by civil passengers. C China will not make money from selling planes. D. China is going to rule the world aircraft market. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage A. To report a key event of the C919. B. To compare the C919 with other planes. C. To announce the disadvantages of the C919. D. To support technological innovation of the C919. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国首架拥有自主知识产权的商用干线飞机C919获得了中国民用航空局颁发的型号证书。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China(COMAC), gained the type certificate(TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China(CAAC) at the end of September.(这架飞机由中国商用飞机有限责任公司（COMAC）研制，于9月底获得了中国民用航空局（CAAC）颁发的型号证书（TC）)”可知，C919在9月份获得了CAAC颁发的型号证书。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Its cockpit with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets.(C919的驾驶舱采用了最新的导航技术和所谓的“线控飞行”计算机控制，这使得C919与其他窄体客机具有竞争力)”可知，C919所使用的先进技术使得它比其他窄体飞机有优势。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It will take up more than 70 percent of the commercial aircraft in China’s civil aviation industry. We decided to make this kind of plane because it’s the most in-demand product in the market.(它将占据中国民用航空业70%以上的商用飞机。我们决定制造这种飞机，因为它是市场上需求量最大的产品)”可知，C919具有很大的市场潜力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第二段“The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China(COMAC), gained the type certificate(TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China(CAAC) at the end of September.(这架飞机由中国商用飞机有限责任公司（COMAC）研制，于9月底获得了中国民用航空局（CAAC）颁发的型号证书（TC）)”可知，文章主要介绍了中国首架拥有自主知识产权的商用干线飞机C919获得了中国民用航空局颁发的型号证书，这意味着C919获得了进入民用航空市场的“进入证书”。由此推知，本文目的是报道C919的一个关键事件。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to Get Confidence in Your English Speaking Read out loud. Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds.

The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speaker as you read along silently. ___16___ Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time. Speak in full sentences Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible. ___17___ Using complete sentences and giving more details in responses shows listeners that you are not afraid to speak English.

Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. But keep in mind that the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate. ___18___ Set realistic goals. If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or middle level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. ___19___ But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well. As you learn English, it is natural to lack some of the skills you need to communicate well. ___20___ But remember that, as your skills grow, your confidence will, too. You can make a plan for daily practice and spend at least 30 minutes each day practicing your English. A. Mistakes can be a good thing. B. This can harm your confidence. C. Then, try to read the story out loud alone. D. Often, when we lack skills, we lack confidence. E. And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. F.

D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，短文介绍了如何在英语口语中获得自信。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speaker as you read along silently.”（在大声朗读之前，先默读故事。第二次，如果有音频，你可以边听边默读。）选项此处承接上文讲第二步做什么。故C选项“然后，试着自己大声朗读这个故事。”切题与后文“Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.”（然后，试着在听演讲的同时大声朗读。）为并列关系。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible.”（用完整的句子说话，并尽可能给出更长的回答。）可知选项承接上文，从反面论说，对某一语言不自信，就会尽可能地说简短的句子。故G选项“如果你对一门语言不自信，你可以在说的时候尽量地说简短的句子。”切题。故选G项。 18题详解】 根据前面的“Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. But keep in mind that the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate.”（理解犯错误是语言学习过程中很自然的一部分。是的，你会犯错误。但是要记住，说语言的目的是为了交流。）可知，前面强调说一门语言的目的是为了交流，即使错了也要交流。可知，此处承接上文错误不是影响沟通的障碍。故E选项“许多英语学习者即使有错误也能沟通得很好。”同时也呼应小标题“Don’t worry too much”（别太担心）。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or middle level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail.”（如果你的英语水平处于初级或中级水平，你试图做一些太困难的事情，你可能会失败。）可知，选项在此处承接上文说明这么做的害处。This指代上文提到的情况。故B选项“这会损害你的自信。”切题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“But remember that, as your skills grow, your confidence will, too”（但要记住，随着你技能的提高，你的信心也会提高。）可知，选项与下文为转折关系，说明与下文相反的情况。故D选项“通常，当我们缺乏技能时，我们就缺乏自信。”切题。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A sunny afternoon before Christmas, a little girl was decorating a box with a gold wrapping paper to put it under the Christmas tree.

When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favorite player was LeBron James. Paul's favorite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions. Bogues was only 1.6 meters tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 meters tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, "If Bogues could make it, why not me?" Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance. This week. The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he' d been waiting for. Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee. The coach was very sad and told me that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but the coach said Paul couldn't play. Another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Meanwhile, other players agreed, too. After a while, Paul himself asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn't let the coach down. Finally, the coach agreed. He told Paul that it was his time to shine.（74 words） Paragraph 2 Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practicing alone paid off. The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, our team had won by two points. The coach and other teammates were surprised at Paul' s performance. The coach hit Paul on the shoulder and said that he' d just earned his place on the team.（77 words） 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和好朋友Paul都是校篮球队队员，但是Paul因为身高不高，没机会上场比赛，一次比赛过程中，作者突然受伤无法继续比赛，他推荐Paul上场，最后Paul展现出自己实力，帮助球队反败为胜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当医生给我的膝盖敷冰袋时，我对教练说到我再也不能继续比赛了。”可知，第一段可描写作者无法继续比赛，推荐Paul上场，教练犹豫，最后被作者说服。 ②由第二段首句内容“Paul跳起来，冲向赛场。”可知，第二段可描写Paul在篮球场上努力拼搏，展现实力，帮助球队反败为胜。 2.续写线索：建议Paul打比赛——教练不同意——说服教练——Paul上场拼搏——关键时刻球队反败为胜——Paul赢得认可 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/advise/propose ②同意：agree/approve/contribute to it ③鼓掌：clapping/applauding 情绪类 ①难过的：sad/sorry ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed/astonished/shocked 【点睛】[高分句型1] And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practicing alone paid off.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] When the game ended, our team had won by two points.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 1-5BBAAB 6-10BBCAC    11-15ABCBC    16-20AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 泸县四中2023年春期高一第二学月考试 英语试题 本试卷共8页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 第I卷（选择题 95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Which colour of a carpet does the man like best?

B When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself , “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age． She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927． Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it” she said． 4. What can we learn about Moses? A. She stopped painting in her late seventies. B She still led an active life when she was old. C. Her marriage life was not happy. D. She painted oils as a child. 5. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing? A. Embroidering. B. Farming. C. Nursing. D. Painting. 6. What does the underlined word “portrayals ” in the last paragraph mean? A. Directions. B. Stages. C. Surveys. D. Descriptions. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ A. Grandma Moses: the Best Woman Painter B. Grandma Moses and Her Farm Life C. Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition D. Grandma Moses : A Famous Woman Painter of 20th Century C Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people and caused a lot of damage. We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious. The Earths’ crust(地壳)is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such a Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible(可变动的), so when the Earth moves, they move with it. Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damages as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生)of earthquakes in the world. 8. The passage is mainly about ______. A. scientists who study earthquakes. B. the way of measuring earthquakes. C. a usual natural disaster—earthquakes. D. what people should do in the earthquake. 9. Which of the following statements about the earthquake in Shaanxi Province is NOT true? A. It happened in 1556. B. It killed almost one million people. C. In caused a lot of damage. D. It was followed by fires. 10. Why are modern buildings in Tokyo built to be flexible? A. To prevent the crust from quaking. B. To stop the plates from moving. C. To measure earthquakes. D. To move with the Earth. 11. According to the passage we know that tsunamis________. A. can cause earthquakes. B. are caused by earthquakes. C. only happen on land. D. are a way of measuring earthquakes. D China will deliver its first homemade C919 large passenger plane by the end of 2022, reported Xinhua. The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), gained the type certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) at the end of September. “The type certificate means the C919 has the ‘certificate of entering’ into the civil aviation market.” Yang Zhenmei a senior CAAC official, told Xinhua. It also shows that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry. The C919 is a fourth-generation aircraft, which has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. It has 158 to 168 seats. With a range of 4,075 to 5,555 kilometers, the C919 is able to fly between any two cities in China. So far, 800 C919 aircraft have been ordered by 28 customers. Its aerodynamically — designed wings made from advanced metals and composites (复合材料) help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets. Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of the C919, said he believes China will need around 2,000 narrow-body jets like the C919 in the future. “It will take up more than 70 percent of the commercial aircraft in China’s civil aviation industry. We decided to make this kind of plane because it’s the most needed product in the market.” said Wu. 12. What can we learn about the C919 from the first two paragraphs? A. It was delivered to foreign customers. B. It was built with the help of other countries C. It was moved out of the civil aviation market. D. It got the type certificate from CAAC in September. 13. What probably makes the C919 better than other narrow-body jets? A. The size of the C919. B. The distance that the C919 can fly. C. The advanced technology the C919 used. D. The number of passengers that the C919 can hold. 14. What can we know from Wu Guanghui’s words? A. The C919 has huge market potential. B. The C919 is welcomed by civil passengers. C. China will not make money from selling planes. D. China is going to rule the world aircraft market. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage A. To report a key event of the C919. B. To compare the C919 with other planes. C. To announce the disadvantages of the C919. D. To support technological innovation of the C919. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to Get Confidence in Your English Speaking Read out loud.

We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favorite player was LeBron James. Paul's favorite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions. Bogues was only 1.6 meters tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 meters tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, "If Bogues could make it, why not me?" Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance. This week. The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he' d been waiting for. Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5BBAAB 6-10BBCAC    11-15ABCBC    16-20AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
