北大附中河南分校2015-2016学年上学期九月考试试卷

高二英语

考试时间100分钟 满分120分
第二部分: 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
21. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. The scenes are colorful and changeable. B. There are many windows in the wooden house.
C. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.
D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.
22. By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that ______ .
A. the kids like playing in trees B. the kids are very familiar with trees
C. the kids have learned much knowledge D. the kids find trees useful learning tools
23. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. The change of seasons is easily felt. B. The seasons make the scenes change.
C. The weather often changes in the forest.
D. The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.
24. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text?
A. To describe the beauty of the scene around the house.
B. To introduce her children’s happy life in the forest.
C. To show that living in the forest is healthful.
D. To share the joy of living in the nature.
B
Spring peepers are found in wooded areas and grassy lowlands near pools in the central and eastern parts of Canada and the United States. These loud animals are rarely seen, but as temperatures begin to rise in March and April, the males certainly are heard. Their peep...peep... peep creates an other-worldly whistling sound that, to many, is the first sign of spring, compared with that of some birds.
Spring peepers are brown in color with dark lines that form an X on their backs. They grow to about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) in length, and have large special toes for climbing. These creatures are active at night, coming out to feed on ants, beetles, flies, and spiders.
When the warmer weather arrives, male frogs attempt to attract a mate with a spring song. The frogs normally perform in singing. The one who starts each round usually has the deepest voice. The "vocal sacs" under their mouths allow the frogs to "sing". They fill their vocal sacs with air until they look like a balloon, and then they let out a "peep" as they release the air. They "peep" about once every second. These sounds can often be heard as far as a half-mile away
After a female and male peeper mate, the female lays her eggs in water and spends the remainder of the year in the forest. During the winter, they sleep under logs or behind loose bark on trees. The music dies down during the cold months, but the sounds of peepers will soon be heard again, sounding the coming of spring.
25. The text is written mainly to _____.
A. tell people what spring peepers look like B. let people know more about spring peepers
C. explain why spring peepers sing D. show environmental harmony in nature
26. What can we know about the spring peepers from the text?
A. They prefer to live in the dry areas in North America.
B. They are the first animals to make sounds in spring.
C. They can live both in water and on land.
D. They are active during the cold months of the year.
27. What does the underlined word "release" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. turn out. B. break out. C. leave out. D. let out.
28. The best title for this text might be _____.
A. The Ring of Tiny Frogs in Spring B. The Relationship between Animals and Seasons
C. The Living Conditions of Spring Peepers D. The Invitation from a Male Peeper
C
Windbreaks are barriers formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields, which help prevent the loss of soil, stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides, extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.
Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops. For example, in parts of West Africa grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them.
But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.
There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away. And trees can provide animals outdoors with shade from the sun.
29. The advantages of building a windbreak are as follows except _____.
A. keeping the wind from destroying grain crops B. increasing the production of grain harvests
C. providing humans with shade from the sun D. reducing the damaging effects of wind and rain
30. The author thinks windbreaks are interesting because ______.
A. the movement of air lifts the soil B. windbreaks allow some wind to pass through
C. large trees are lined with short ones D. windbreaks can stop the wind getting through
31. If the trees grow to a height of 30 feet, the areas the windbreak can protect are ______.
A. 100 square feet B. 150 square feet C. 240 square feet D. 300 square feet
32. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Extra trees and plants can be cut down for wood.
B. The environment is going from bad to worse.
C. Trees and plants from abroad are the best for windbreaks.
D. Windbreaks can contribute to agriculture harvests.
D
Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.
The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.
One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.
33. Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?
A. The former is ambiguous and self-praising.
B. The latter is easier to arouse audience's interest.
C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.
D. The former isn't related to the content of the film.
34. Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can _______ .
A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano B. help those who suffer from the eruption
C. get together with his family members D. work miracles during the disaster
35. What does the writer intend to do in this text?
A. To share pleasures of watching a film. B. To make a review on a film.
C. To discuss kids' behavior and thoughts. D. To recommend a film.
