2022-2023學(xué)年湖北省武漢市華中科技大學(xué)附中高一（上）月考英語(yǔ)試卷（10月份）

閱讀理解（滿分37.5分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

• 1．Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don't know the local language.Mr Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don't speak the native tongue，based on his own experience.Here are a few of them.
     Download a Language Translation App
     Mr Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them.Ideally，find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you're not familiar with，or have difficulty pronouncing.
     Speak with Your Hands and Head
     Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head，Mr Thibault said，are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you're in. "Gestures are all universally understood， " he said.
     Learn a Few Key Words
     Knowing basic words and phrases like "hello"， "thank you" and "I'm sorry，I don't speak your language.Do you speak English？" is a must，Mr Thibault said.Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go，and at least enough to acknowledge that you don't know more，is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.
     Work with a Local Travel Agent
     If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you're headed to，and you have to go anyway，relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination's languages can be incredibly useful.
     Hire a Local Tour Guide
     A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with.Whenever Mr Thibault visits a new country，he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. "I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language，" he said.

  A．When you have trouble pronouncing the words.
  B．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance.
  C．When you want to practice the local language.

  （2）What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text？

  
  A．Downloading a language translation app.
  B．Learning a few key words.
  C．Using body language.
  D．Working with a guide.
  （3）How can you better understand the local language？

• 2．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles（腳踝）was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
     I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.jye.ai，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed（通知） me that I was "not athletic".
     The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
     The night before my marathon，I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
     Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust（重新調(diào)整）.Not the start I wanted!
     At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
     By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
     By mile 21，I was starving!
     As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 am or questioned my expenses on running.
     I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
     Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標(biāo)簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".
  
  （1）A month before the marathon，the author

  .
  A．was well trained
  B．felt scared
  C．made up his mind to run
  D．lost hope
  （2）Why did the author mention the P.E.jye.ai in his 7th year？

  
  A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
  B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
  C．To show he was not talented in sports.
  D．To share a precious memory.
  （3）How was the author's first marathon？

  
  A．He made it.
  B．He quit halfway.
  C．He got the first prize.
  D．He walked to the end.
  （4）What does the story mainly tell us？

  
  A．A man owes his success to his family support.
  B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
  C．Failure is the mother of success.
  D．One is never too old to learn.

• 3．A sleepover（過夜） program，which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading，can help encourage children to pick up more books，a new study suggests.
     Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books.Children take their toys to a library for the night.At this point，workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books.The next day，the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night.They are given the books their toys chose to read.
     It was found that before the sleepover the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool.Immediately after the sleepover，the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not，but after three days the effect decreased gradually.
     The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect.They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later，by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day.This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.
     The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more. "We wanted to know if there really was an effect，and if so，how long it lasts.Surprisingly，not only did the children show interest in the books，but they also began to read to their toys.This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn't had before.We did not expect anything like this，" said one of the researchers.
     Reading is important for the development of children's language skills and imagination.When parents read to their children，it is a passive way of reading for the child.However，when children read to their toys，it is a more active，self-directed way of reading，helping them develop into more active readers，researchers said.
  
  （1）What is the purpose of the sleepover program？

  
  A．To develop children's language skills.
  B．To help children to sleep well.
  C．To encourage children to read more.
  D．To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.
  （2）What do children do in the sleepover program？

  
  A．Go around the library with their toys.
  B．Sleep with their toys.
  C．Read together with their toys.
  D．Take their toys to the library.
  （3）The underlined word "sustaining" in paragraph 4 can be replaced by

  .
  A．keeping
  B．testing
  C．surveying
  D．showing
  （4）What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program？

  
  A．Children showed no interest in the books.
  B．The effect of the sleepover program could last long.
  C．Children began to read to their toys on their own.
  D．Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.

• 4．What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture？You take a selfie （拍照） .But what about selfies in space？On Twitter last year，NASA astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin，who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969，laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
     "For me，it needs to be digital to be selfie，" argues Jennifer Levasseur，who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.According to Levasseur，the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. "The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it，" she says.
     Still，astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ，and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way.Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.
     A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. "Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital." Levasseur says.
     Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras.Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day.The first astronaut selfie that went viral（網(wǎng)紅的） on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
  
  （1）What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim？

  
  A．It hardly makes any sense.
  B．It revolutionizes astronautics.
  C．It contradicts public opinions.
  D．It needs to be further proved.
  （2）Why were cameras left in space on early space missions？

  
  A．To lighten the load of the spaceship.
  B．To test cameras under extreme conditions.
  C．To prepare for the next stage of space exploration.
  D．To take more pictures in space by remote control.
  （3）What advanced space camera technology？

  
  A．The invention of new films
  B．The fear of falling behind in the space race
  C．The concern about the loss of valuable data
  D．The popularity of space selfies on social media
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．The Exploration of Space.
  B．The History of Selfies in Space.
  C．The Change in Space Camera Technology.
  D．The Development in Space Technology.
