When it comes to comedians, my favourite is Pan Changjiang. There’re three reasons why I like him best. Firstly, as one of the greatest comedy actors in China, he has been bringing us laughter, which reduces our stress and makes us relaxed. Secondly, I’ve learned a lot from him. Lastly, under his influence, I’ve regained my confidence, which will play an important role in my future work and life. Would you like to share your favourite comedian with me? Looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节： 【写作提示】 1. 本文语篇类型是记叙文，文章主要讲述了两兄弟因意见不合导致关系破裂，一个木匠在得知此事后，巧妙地化解了两兄弟之间的矛盾。 2. 根据续写第一段首句可知，木匠听完哥哥的话之后投入了自己的工作之中。再根据续写第二段首句可推断，木匠并没有做栅栏而是建了一座桥。因此该段可围绕木匠建桥或者两兄弟对桥的反应展开叙述。 3. 根据续写第二段首句可知，两兄弟站在桥的两端即将冰释前嫌，因此该段可围绕两人渐渐缓和的关系以及木匠的去留展开叙述。 One possible version: Paragraph 1: The carpenter worked hard all that day. When John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John was surprised because there was no fence at all. It was a beautiful bridge! A bridge that connected one side of the river with the other side! He has never seen such a fine piece of work in his life! And the neighbor, his younger brother Jack, was coming toward them with a big smile on his face. Paragraph 2: The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge. They met on it, taking each other’s hand. They both admitted that they should have accepted their own mistakes and forgiven each other earlier. After a while, they saw the carpenter picking up his own tools. John said, “Please stay here to help me. I will pay you a lot of money.” The carpenter replied, “No, thanks. I still have important bridges to build. I hope you will get on well with each other like before.” 听力原文： Text 1 W: It’s getting cooler and the leaves are turning yellow.

Thanks to karez, about 600,000 people can live here in the so called Flaming Mountain. And now, I will take you to visit the world-famous underground channels- karez. There are more than 1,600 karez lying throughout Xinjiang. Simply in the area of Turpan, the number of karez is more than 1,100, a total length of 5,000 kilometres. It is known as“the underground Great Wall”. Karez, together with the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is a masterpiece of the ancient Chinese engineering. While karez can improve agriculture and local people’s daily life, not every place is suitable to dig karez. There are three basic requirements. First, karez should be built somewhere rich in water resources. For example, the Turpan Basin is surrounded by mountains, and melting snow from the mountain peaks can meet the demand for water resources. Second, karez need to have a certain height so as to make the water flow from higher places to lower places.Finally, the soil must be hard enough so it won’t fall down easily. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $单元训练三基础达标。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍text . one。It's getting cooler and the leaves are turning yellow.

B I read a post by Barbara Swafford entitled"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".In this post,she challenged her readers to pick a picture and then write about it.I decided to take up the challenge.It didn't take me long to find the photo I wanted to write about.It was one I had taken in Switzerland of a lovely little plant growing out of rocks high up on a building's wall When I saved it,I named it "persistence".I must admit,however,that I have mixed feelings about this word.During my coaching studies,we were advised to take the Authentic Happiness VIA Strengths Inventory,which lists your top five strengths.My top strength was PERSISTENCE and,to be honest,this particular strength seemed a bit unfriendly.After all,the dictionary defines persistence as "continuing despite problems or difficulties;being obstinately (persistent."I wasn't sure I'd liked the idea of being“obstinately persistent'”. In addition,compared to the top strengths my fellow students got,such as gratitude,wisdom,kindness, and hope,persistence seemed rather commonplace,more like the dandelion (among the roses. Since then,however,I have learned more about persistence and it's got some very good qualities.But I'm not alone in recognizing the importance of persistence.It's been used by many famous people,including John Quincy Adams,John D.Rockefeller,Thomas Edison and Helen Keller,just to name a few.They have attributed (their success to their persistence,which is a significant reason! 高二英语月考共8页第3页 Over time,I've leamed to value my own persistence.It has helped me to succeed,even in situations where others had more talent and ability.It's also kept me going through some difficult times when I wanted to quit.This is why I like photographing wild flowers growing in difficult places. 24.What did Barbara Swafford ask her followers to do? A.To learn about a plant. B.To send her a photograph. C.To describe a photo they'd taken.D.To write about a photo she'd given. 25.How did the author react after knowing the definition of persistence? A.She became greatly inspired.B.She became proud of herself. C.She considered it to be wrong.D.She felt a bit sad about her persistence. 26.Why does the author compare her strength to the dandelion among the roses? A.To show her strength is quite ordinary. B.To show the importance of her strength C.To show why she developed such a strength D.To show top strengths should be uncommon. 27.Which of the following shows the author's opinion? A.Persistence is very important for people. B.Wisdom is the main reason why people succeed. C.Persistence is not as important as wisdom and kindness. D.Many people don't recognize the importance of persistence. C During the holidays,you may be heading into the British countryside for a walk.However,the countiyside scene may not be what you think.On the country roads you might see dog poo (left by irresponsible owners,or much rubbish.Most people getting to the countryside are well-behaved but there're exceptions.Some even allow their dogs to run off the leash(拴狗的绳子). On my coastal farm in Essex I'm lucky that there're many regular walkers who act as my unofficial farm neighbourhood watch.They tell me if they find someone hasn't picked up their dog's poo or if they have come across rubbish.Unluckily,it's difficult to catch people in the act.How often have you actually seen someone leaving their dog's poo on the ground? However,we have the Countryside Code ()rules to make sure that we respect and enjoy the countryside.A lot of the code seems common sense:respect others,take your litter home,and keep dogs under control.Yet some farmers have suffered as a result of dog owners believing that their pet won't run towards sheep and cows,fiightening them.The results of ignoring the code's principles aren't taken seriously enough.What's obvious to some people might not be clear to others,especially if you live in a city and have little understanding of farming practices.Not everyone might know that dogs could wony farm animals.Therefore,public education needs great improvement.In the past there were television advertisements but perhaps online posts would be more useful today. The countryside is for us all,and we have a shared responsibility to make sure that it looks good and works well.This means supporting those who work and own the land to keep it as best as they can.Breaking the code really affects those who run our countryside.We need to respect this far more if we are all to enjoy it 28.What do some people who go to the countryside in the holidays do according to the author? A.They generally fail to respect the land. B.They may pollute the local environment 高二英语月考共8页第4页 C.They want to take part in farming work. D.They don't really enjoy countryside views. 29.The author most probably is a A.farm owner B.govemment official C.neighborhood watch D.visitor in the countryside 30.Why may the Countryside Code not be followed by some people? A.The code is thought to be too strict. B.There's no education about the rules. C.Farmers hardly communicate with visitors. D.They have little knowledge related to farming. 31.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.Show support for land owners. B.Stress the importance of the farms. C.Call for good behavior in the countryside. D.Picture a perfect view of the countryside 0 A tree falls in the woods,but whether or not anyone hears it,the tree has no regrets.Nor does it experience fear,anger,relief or sadness as it falls to the ground.Trees-and all plants,for that matter- feel nothing at all,because only animals have consciousness (and feelings,scientists recently reported in an opinion article. The idea that plants have some degree of consciousness first took root in the early 2000s,the term plant neurobiology(神经生物学)”was coined around the belief that some plant behavior could be compared to intelligence in animals.But the idea is nonsense,according to the authors of the new article. Plant biology is complex )but it differs so greatly from that of animals;the so-called evidence of plants'intelligence is interesting but unproven,the scientists wrote. In animals,a nervous system controls their behavior.Over millions of years,brains in different animal species have developed to produce behaviors that experts see as intelligent:Among them are reasoning and problem-solving,tool use and self-recognition. Beginning in 2006,some scientists have argued that plants have a nervous system,similar to that in animals.They even said that plants have "brain-like command centers"'at their root tips.This opinion makes sense if you simplify the workings of a complex brain.Cells (in plants also communicate through electrical signals.However,the signaling in a plant is only a little similar to that in a complex animal brain," said Taiz,a professor of molecular,cell and developmental biology at the University of California Santa Cruz."For consciousness to develop,a brain with a basic level of complexity is required,"he added. "Being conscious may seem like harmless fun for plants being cared for in a garden,but imagine the pain of trees during a forest fire.I would not wish to make trees suffer from the consciousness and pain of being burned alive,"Taiz said. 32.What does the underlined word "nonsense"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Uncertain things.B.Promising things. C.Untrue ideas. D.Clear evidences. 33.Why don't plants have consciousness? A.They can't move or feel. B.They don't have a complex brain. C.They don't have a nervous system. D.Cells in plants can't communicate 高二英语月考共8页第5页 34.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.A forest fire is cruel to trees. B.Trees are easier to survive than animals. C.Trees taken care of by humans will grow better. D.It's better for trees to have no consciousness. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.Plants have no feelings. B.Plants will listen to you quietly. C.Animals are cleverer than plants D.Plant neurobiology is a new term 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Reduce Food Waste While many people in poor areas suffer from a shortage of food,a large amount of food is wasted in the rest of the world.36 Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste: Learn to store food.Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting (overnight?Can't keep your tomatoes fresh for more than a day or two?37 Not sure where to start?Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online. 38 Recipes often direct you to remove a part of whatever food you're cooking with,but often those food items can be saved.For example,leave the skin on carrots and potatoes (The skins actually have a ton of valuable nutrients!),save the beet greens for a salad,and don't throw away the outer skin of oranges! Pick the "funny looking"food.39 Buying food that comes in a different shape,size or colour helps use up food that might be given up. Understand best-before dates correctly.People often confuse best-before dates with expiry dates )The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food.40 So while the taste may not be that good,many food items are still safe to eat for many days beyond the best-before date.
