All thinking but no study makes people lazy”以及“ A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.”可知，只学习不思考使人困惑。只会思考而不学习会使人懒惰。一个人应该严格要求自己，但要善待他人，没有提及“没有人有值得学习的东西。”。故选B。 The day of the Ridge City Skate Race (滑冰比赛) was finally here. All the animals got ready for the race all year and were excited. Molly Mouse, the smallest skater, almost could not see the starting line (起跑线). Everyone thought she was too small to win. Happy Lion, the biggest skater, was ready to race, too. Pinky Pig and Lazy Cat couldn’t wait because both of them almost won last year. The skaters lined up, the flag (旗帜) came down, the skaters took off. Thump! Faster and faster Happy Lion skated down the street, and he was winning! Suddenly, his skate hit the curb (路牙) and fell to the ground. The other skaters raced past him. Lazy Cat came first now while Pinky Pig unluckily landed on sand (沙地), wasn’t hurt but dizzy (晕的). He tried hard to catch up but failed. Molly Mouse was the last skater to come around the comer. “Should I stop?” She said to herself. “If I stop, I’ll never catch up.” Finally she decided to help Pinky Pig go on skating. Around the next corner was a path which went up a high hill. “Skating uphill is hard,” Lazy Cat said. “The other skaters might catch up with me.” She thought for a while and turned the sign. The arrow (箭头) now pointed (指向) right. Lazy Cat laughed as she she skated up the path to the left. All the other skaters turned right and started skating down the hill. “Come back,” Molly Mouse shouted. “You went the wrong way!” Finally the skaters stopped.

D．An advertisement. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了在一次里奇城滑冰比赛中各个动物的表现的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“‘Come back,’ Molly Mouse shouted. ‘You went the wrong way!’”可知，是莫莉老鼠发现路错了。故选A。 2． 推理判断题。根据“Lazy Cat came first now while Pinky Pig unluckily landed on sand (沙地)”可知，第五段主要讲了是小猪摔在沙地上。句子 “She saw Pinky Pig sitting on the sand.”应放在第五段最后。故选B。 3．细节理解题。通读全文，根据“Faster and faster Happy Lion skated down the street, and he was winning!”、“Lazy Cat came first now while Pinky Pig unluckily landed on sand (沙地), wasn’t hurt but dizzy (晕的).”、“Finally she decided to help Pinky Pig go on skating.”和“She thought for a while and turned the sign. The arrow (箭头) now pointed (指向) right…All the other skaters turned right and started skating down the hill.”可知，先是快乐的狮子滑得够快，可以第一个到达，然后小猪摔在了沙地上，莫莉老鼠停下来帮助小猪，然后懒猫转动了指示牌，导致所有其他的溜冰者都向右滑下山坡。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，主要讲了在一次里奇城滑冰比赛中各个动物的表现。所以标题是“里奇城滑冰比赛”最合适。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“The day of the Ridge City Skate Race (滑冰比赛) was finally here.

Around the city, there are mountains with many pink rocks. To get to the city, tourists walk for over a kilometre through a narrow hole in the rock. Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous. Two thousand years ago, Petra was a busy and noisy place. People came from far away to buy and sell in the market places. The city became rich. At one time, more than 30,000 people lived there. But the pink rocks were not as safe as they looked. Earthquakes made many of the buildings fall down. As the years went by, people stopped going and living there. Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra. In 1812, a Swiss traveller called Johann Burckhardt heard about the lost city. Local people told him that it was in the mountains, and someone took him there. When Burckhardt went back to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city. __________More than a million tourists go there every year.

D．Maybe Petra will be different in the future. 5．What’s the best title for the passage?

I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy. First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you. Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me, that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th. Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to pretend (假装) as if the holiday doesn’t exist, you are just going to make it worse. Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some unique traditions in their home. Little by little, it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new. Find clubs, churches or organizations that are from your home country. Chances are that they will have some celebration with some of your traditions which you can join in. Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake. Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree. Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them. If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while appreciating the new ones. Keep an open mind and find a compromise between old and new traditions. 1．How did the writer spend his 14th Christmas? A．Unpleasantly in the US. B．Joyfully in the US. C．Unpleasantly in Europe. D．Joyfully in Europe. 2．Why does the writer advise people to hunt in some special stores? A．Because people can buy some discounted goods there. B．Because people can feel less homesick there. C．Because it’s an old Christmas tradition. D．Because they offer goods from the hometown of the people. 3．Which of the following statements does the writer agree with? A．It’s great for children to have some unique traditions. B．People should join in all kinds of clubs to celebrate Christmas. C．People should give up traditions which are stupid in other people’s eyes. D．It is popular to celebrate Christmas on the 24th around the world. 4．What is the main reason for the writer to suggest giving a call to parents on Christmas? A．To express love to them. B．To follow the tradition. C．To ask for some ornaments. D．To set an example for children. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了如果你远离家乡，圣诞节就不可能和你一样以前过的一样，但重要的是要记住旧的欣赏新的。保持一个开放的心态，找到一个旧的和新的传统之间的妥协。 1．细节理解题。根据“When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was absolutely terrible.”可知，作者在他14 岁时是在欧洲过的圣诞节。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.”可知，因为那些专门店可能有出售来自你所在国家或城镇的商品。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids.… Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.”可知，给你的孩子介绍一些特别的传统有好处，这样会丰富他们的节日庆祝活动。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.”可知，作者建议在圣诞节给父母打电话的主要原因是，让他们给你寄一些你最喜欢的童年装饰品来装饰你的圣诞树。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第一次月考复习之阅读理解15篇 （Units 1-2单元话题） Unit 1 Friendship单元话题：朋友与友谊 Unit 2 School life单元话题：学校生活 本资料共15篇专题训练，从上到下按照难度分层训练 基础语篇巩固练10篇 The Museum of London opened in 1976.

The e-schoolbag will help you. It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also it is as small as a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips (芯片) that are as small as stamps. Students can read the text page by page on the screen (屏幕), take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press a button (按下按钮). Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken; some say they are not good for students’ eyes. In fact, only time will tell who is right. 1．An e-schoolbag is ________. A．as heavy as a usual schoolbag B．much heavier than a usual schoolbag C．much lighter than a usual schoolbag D．not so light as a usual schoolbag 2．An e-schoolbag is ________.

When students clean their own school, they learn to appreciate their environment and take pride in their school.

It teaches them that no job is too small or unimportant. These values stay with students long after they graduate and help them become responsible citizens. 1．What does “soji” mean in Japanese schools? A．Study time. B．Cleaning time. C．Play time.

Everything seems different—the food, the school schedule, the teaching methods, and even how students interact with each other. However, these differences can be valuable learning experiences. Toby, an American exchange student in China, noticed many differences in school life. The lunch break was longer, allowing time to eat and relax. The food was different but delicious, with plenty of vegetables and various kinds of soup. He also learned to use chopsticks instead of forks and spoons. Despite the initial challenges, most exchange students find that these experiences help them grow. They learn to adapt to new situations, understand different perspectives, and appreciate other cultures. These skills are invaluable in our globalized world. 1．What do exchange students often experience? A．Cultural shock. B．Easy adaptation. C．Boredom.

Although you may want to explain (解释) yourself, listening to your friends first may keep you calm. You will also better understand your friends. Next, express (表达) yourself politely.

Very soon Alice saw a little house. She knew it was the White Rabbit’s house because his name was on the door. She opened it without knocking at the door and ran up the stairs (楼梯) quickly. Alice went into a small room. There was a table near the window and there were gloves and a fan on it. As she picked them up, she saw a bottle next to the mirror. There weren’t any instructions on it, so she opened it and drank. “Something interesting always happens when I eat or drink something here,” Alice thought. And she was right. She started to grow.

Many people would think of Confucius (孔子), whose birthday was September 28.

To get to the city, tourists walk for over a kilometre through a narrow hole in the rock. Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings, and they make the city famous. Two thousand years ago, Petra was a busy and noisy place.

I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy. First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you. Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me, that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th. Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to pretend (假装) as if the holiday doesn’t exist, you are just going to make it worse. Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some unique traditions in their home. Little by little, it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new. Find clubs, churches or organizations that are from your home country. Chances are that they will have some celebration with some of your traditions which you can join in. Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake. Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree. Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them. If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while appreciating the new ones. Keep an open mind and find a compromise between old and new traditions. 1．How did the writer spend his 14th Christmas? A．Unpleasantly in the US. B．Joyfully in the US. C．Unpleasantly in Europe.
