B I'm Savannah and I remember beginning to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving，I thought about all the places I was going to see — the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back to was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of being positive but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost — having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad，and saw no end to "the hard times." My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with immigration （移民） officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences，I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy. 24．What did Savannah miss most about home when leaving for America？ __________ A.Her dear friends and relatives. B.The radio programme for pupils. C.The country she was leaving. D.The places she was familiar with. 25．What was Savannah's attitude to her life changes in New York？_________ A.Optimistic. B.Indifferent. C.Pessimistic. D.Desperate. 26．Why was Savannah increasingly responsible in her family？_________ A.For her family moved more frequently. B.For her mother ended up in divorce. C.For her English was better than others. D.For she disagreed with her stepfather. 27．What does Savannah think about her future life？_________ A.Her future will be loaded with more troubles. B.It will be difficult to learn to become mature. C.There will be more good days than expected. D.Good things will happen if she keeps trying. C Humor is the most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying "no"，criticizing，and getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs，it is the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss sensitive subjects because a serious dialogue may start a riot. For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum. Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating（升级） into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne，he felt miserable，and he knew she did，too. Two hours after she returned home，she received a long-distance phone call. "Person-to-person for Mrs.I.A.Pologize." intoned the operator. "That's spelled 'P' as in..." In a twinkling（眨眼间），the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire. An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist（赞助） in a major charity drive. Austerity was a fashion in England at the time，and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen...and it did，just as her son，with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker，brought in a large roast turkey；he successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door，but the backswing threw the turkey onto the dining-room floor. The boy stood rooted；the guests staring at their plates, Moving only her head，the hostess looked at her son，"No harm，Daniel，"she said，"just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen..." She enunciated（发音） clearly so he would think about what she was saying，"and bring in the other one." A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a laughter. 28．What is the main idea of the passage？__________ A.Humor is the key to success in our work and lives. B.Humor enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively. C.Humor is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face. D.Humor makes fun of any difficult situation. 29．Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage？________ A.Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant（容忍） of racial and religious differences. B.To make up differences，humor is the most acceptable and effective means. C.People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness. D.Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs. 30．What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor？_________ A．The backward movement of the door. B．The son's rude behavior. C．Someone happened to be at the door. D．The bird raised by the family. 31．What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son？_________ A.It would make the embarrassing situation worse. B.The son would refuse to serve the guests any more. C.The son would talk back and make the mother more angry. D.The guests would leave before the dinner was over. D A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia （痴呆）or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections，especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated，intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation （发炎），such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold，caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. "We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account，at least in part，for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population，" said lead author Elizabeth Engler- Chiurazzi，PhD．"The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age，and yet，when exposed to intermittent inflammation，they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly." This study is the first to model repeated，intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments，the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. "Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times，so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising，" Engler-Chiurazzi said. "The effects were subtle，but that's why I find these results meaningful：in a human，cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain." The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward，Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition，she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. "The biggest takeaway from this research，in our opinion，is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible，" she said. 32．The researchers conduct the study in order to_________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings. B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition. C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function. D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable. 33．What can we learn about the study？__________ A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 34．What does the underlined word "mitigate" in Paragraph 7 mean？_________ A. relieve B. strengthen C. promote D. emphasize 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text？__________ A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 第二节 (共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。 The most important element of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions.

Unlike her classmates，who were often keen on the latest technology，Lisa had a preference for knitting（编织）. Lisa' s love for knitting was deeply influenced by her mother，who owned a skilled and creative touch with needles. Her mother's passion for knitting and generous spirit of helping others always inspired Lisa to follow in her footsteps and take up knitting as a meaningful hobby. Lisa was really good at knitting. She liked to make scarves（围巾），gloves，hats and mini bags for her friends as well as her relatives. Her hats were created in a variety of styles and colors，each one unique and full of personality. Whether it was a mini bag or a classic scarf，each knitting work was a carefully crafted masterpiece and a unique gift full of love and warmth. With beauty and practicality，Lisa' s creations never failed to impress. One freezing morning in the peak of winter，the city had just been blanketed by a snowstorm that had left many，particularly the homeless，in desperate situation. As Lisa made her way to school，she noticed a shaking figure under the bridge near her school. It was a homeless old man she often saw on her way，but today he looked extremely miserable（可怜的）.His face was half-hidden under a piece of worn cloth that hardly served as protection against the cold. Touched by the sight，Lisa decided to give her scarf to the homeless old man. She approached，handing the scarf to him. "For me？"the man asked，his eyes widened with surprise. "Yes! I thought it might help you against the cold，"Lisa said，her breath visible in the cold air. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The old man wrapped（裹上）the scarf，immediately feeling a bit warmer.________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ Led by Lisa，Knitting Club was started in her school.____________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试题 第页 共12页 高二英语试题 第页 共12页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二第一次月考英语答案（10.6） 一、听力：CACBB ACBAC ABCAC BBCBA 二、阅读理解：A: ACB B: BACD C: BCAA D: BCAD 三、七选五： ECBGD 四、完形填空：CDADC BBCDA DCABB 五、语法填空：56. has moved 57. powerful 58. reflection 59. a 60. accidentally 61. to preserve 62. on 63. committing 64. who 65. and 六、应用文写作： Exploring Karst Landforms Last Friday，our school organized a field trip to the Stone Forest，aiming to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world scenery. Upon arriving at the scenic spot，we were offered a professional lecture. The guide vividly illustrated the formation of karst landforms and introduced unique caves and stone peaks. Besides，we observed the landscapes carefully，took notes and consulted the guide actively to solve our puzzles in geography study. The tour turned abstract knowledge into vivid experience，leaving me amazed by the wonders of nature. Furthermore，it motivated us to explore scientific knowledge with greater enthusiasm. 七、读后续写： The old man wrapped（裹上） the scarf，immediately feeling a bit warmer. His trembling fingers traced the intricate patterns，and tears welled up in his eyes. "Thank you，young lady，" he whispered hoarsely. "No one's shown me kindness like this in years." Lisa smiled，but her heart ached seeing his threadbare gloves. Suddenly，an idea struck her — what if she could knit for more people like him？That afternoon，she rushed home and rummaged through her yarn stash，determined to turn her hobby into something bigger. Led by Lisa，Knitting Club was started in her school. At first，only a few curious classmates joined，but soon word spread about their mission to craft winter gear for the homeless. Lisa taught them basic stitches during lunch breaks，their needles clicking in unison. By December，they'd donated fifty handmade items to shelters. The local newspaper featured their story，inspiring other schools to follow suit. What began as one girl's quiet act of compassion grew into a citywide movement，proving that even the smallest stitches could weave a warmer world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
