2019学年第一学期高一9月月考英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)ALetter OneDear Editor,After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play computer games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm children. Once I went to a net bar(网吧) to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.Li Ping, BeijingLetter TwoDear Li Ping,I don't think it's strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don't want their children to play computer games.Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents. They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us.Remember: to be honest is the best way.Good luck,Rebecca1. From the passage we can learn that Li Ping often__________ .A. talks with his friends on the InternetB. plays basketball after schoolC. plays computer games at homeD. chats online before homework2. The boy goes online_____________.A. to get news on QQB. just to have a restC. to show he hates studyD. to make new friends3. The editor thinks ____________.A. children should play computer games in the net bar secretlyB. playing computer game can be very helpful to children’s studiesC. children should be honest and try to make their parents understand themD. foreign parents don’t care for their children as much as Chinese parentsBThe British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “Its a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in un pleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of thiskind of humor.Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.4. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A. The British often enlarge the fact.B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.5. The author explains understatement by _______.A. describing a processB. making comparisonsC. following time orderD. using examples6. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______.A. using his body movement and facial expressionsB. making jokes about others’ accentC. copying how others behaveD. telling funny stories7. What can be the best title for the text?A. British Humor in ComedyB. Humor in Different CulturesC. Understanding British HumorD. Developing Your Sense of HumorCA black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion, gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billions of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly--somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time--many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery--but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste--a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!8. When the star begins to die ______.A. there is no fuel left in itB. a huge explosion will happenC. its outer layer goes into space firstD. it doesn't give off light any longer9. Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?A. The dying star shines less brightly.B. The light can't go out of the star.C. The star becomes smaller and smallerD. The gravity inside the star is very strong.10. The black hole ______.A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the timeB. goes into another universe and becomes a white holeC. will appear at another place at a different timeD. can pull in everything we know of in the world11. What's the best title for this passage?A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black HolesB. What Are Black Holes?C. How Do Black Holes Swallow Light?D. Travel Through A Black HoleDYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella.Cinderella made more like $ 70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend.

HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling Cinderella products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience (观众) for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children’s products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visita Disney store.12.

Cinderella Is More than a MovieC. What Makes Cinderella so PopularD.
