The entire country gets a lot of days off, and most Thai people will be going back home to celebrate Songkran with their families. Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is our on pick-up trucks, throwing water at each other.Details: Staring in the early morning on April 13th, the water ceremony will take many forms. Initially, you are only supposed to sprinkle (洒) your family with a tiny cup of water at home. It’s good luck. Then you sprinkle a statue of Buddha very respectfully and do a little pray.Later in the morning, the game starts to change. Because this is the hottest time of the year, sprinkling each other with water is a lot of fun. Add a little beer to that and Songkran turns into a country-wide water war.It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10 am, turning to water dogfights (混战) in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends full-scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night.Survival Tips:★ Don’t drive a bike if you can avoid it. It’s slippery and the tendency to close eyes when water is thrown at you is dangerous.★ Get a waterproof camera★ Be aware of major traffic jams in towns, mostly in Patong Beach.★ Don’t carry anything that doesn’t resist water.★ Don’t wear expensive clothing.★ Be aware of the sun!★ Have fun! Don’t take it too seriously, it’s good.21. Why do traffic jams happen during Sognkran?A.The people are throwing water at each other. B.The entire country gets a lot of days off.C.The road is slippery.D.Everyone is sprinkling his family on the road.22. What’s the first step to celebrate Songkran?A. Doing a little pray. B. Sprinkling a statue of Buddha.C.Sprinkling each other with much beer.D.Sprinkling family with a little water.23. Which of the following is recommended during Songkran?A.Carrying an umbrella. B.Bringing some cash.C.Wearing cheap clothes. D.Riding a bicycleBWhen marine biologist Jennifer Lavers from Australia traveled to a remote string of islands in the Indian Ocean to see how much plastic waste had washed up on the beaches, here's just part of what she found: “373,000 toothbrushes and around 975,000 shoes, largely flip-flops.”The island was a good place to measure plastic waste because almost no one lives there. That meant the plastic there wasn't local — it floated in — and no one was picking it up.“It’s the little stuff that’s perfectly bite-sized,” Lavers says. “The stuff that fish and squid and birds and even turtles can eat.”Lavers didn’t just count the stuff on the surface. She dug down 4 inches into the sand. “What was really quite amazing was that the deeper we went,” she says, “the more plastic we were actually finding.” What happens is that the sun breaks down the plastic on the surface, and the waves strike it into tiny pieces and drive it into the sand.Lavers’ team of researchers studied seven of the islands, by marking off transects(横断面) on beaches and counting all the plastic inside each transect.“So, more than 414 million pieces of plastic are estimated to be currently sitting on the Cocos Keeling Islands, weighing a remarkable 238 tons,” Lavers says.She was flabbergasted.It’s becoming increasingly clear that no place on the planet seems immune from plastic waste. Take the Arctic, for example. “Wastes are transported via air currents in addition to ocean currents,” Ecologist Chelsea Rochman at the University of Toronto explains. “And there (in the Arctic), we see high concentrations of small microfibers and small particles, and so, absolutely, you expect different things in different places. And what you find tells you something about where it’s coming from.”24. What does the author intend to express by mentioning the numbers?A. To show Lavers is good in calculating.B. To show the plastic pollution is very serious.C. To tell the beach is very broad.D. To tell wasting of man is very serious.25. How do Lavers and her team count the waste?A. By marking off transects and then count.B. By digging into the sand.C. By counting the plastic on the beach D. By weighing the plastic.26. What does the underlined word in Para 3 mean?A.Curious. B. Puzzled. C. Shocked. D. Merciful.27. What can we know according to the last paragraph?A. Pollution varies from place to place.B. The Arctic is relatively cleaner than other places.C. Plastic waste is mainly transported via air and water.D. Almost every place on earth is now polluted.CA new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications has concluded that a 100 percent change to organic (有机的) food production in England and Wales would actually lead to a great increase in greenhouse gas emissions (排放). In turn, this would contribute to further climate change.Although organic farming directly pours out fewer emissions than conventional farming—around 20 percent lower for crops and 4 percent for farm animals—it produces notably less food. As to this study’s findings, total organic agriculture in England and Wales would produce 40 percent less food. With less food in the market, the countries would need to increase food imports, which would produce more global greenhouse gas emissions.Organic farming also increases the amount of absorbing carbon, a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) is “absorbed” out of the atmosphere and captured by plants and stored in the soil. However, even a total change to organic farming would only be equal to a tiny part of the higher emissions from overseas land use.“We predict a drop in total food production of 40 percent under a fully organic farming process, compared to conventional farming, if we keep to the same national diet,” Dr Adrian Williams, lead author and reader in Agri-Environmental Systems at Cranfield University, said in a statement. “This results from lower crop quantity, because output is limited by a lower supply of nitrogen, which is mainly from other crops or solid waste from cattle on the grassland.”Nevertheless, it is important to note that organic farming still holds some useful benefits for the environment, such as reducing exposure to chemicals and improving the varieties of creatures. In conclusion, the study suggests that organic farming will continue to play a key role in resolving the world’s environmental problems. However, it’s just one part of a much wider solution.28. What will total organic agriculture bring to England?A. More main food. B. More species crop. C. More food imports. D. More fresh oxygen.29. How does organic farming increase the amount of absorbing carbon?A. By taking in CO2. B. By changing CO2.C. By giving off CO2. D. By producing CO2.30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The ways to reduce organic farming. B. The advantages of organic farming.C. The solution to the environment problems. D.The results caused by organic farming.31. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Organic farming, green food. B. Organic farming, a double-edged sword.C. Organic farming, a mistake we made. D. Organic farming, our hope in future.DWhen we go out traveling, we need either a map or GPS to point us in the right direction. But bumblebees(大黄蜂) have neither of these things, yet they still know the best route. Why is that?It turns out that these hard-working little bees try many possible passages before picking out the best one and remembering it the next time they journey out. They learn from “trial and error”, according to a study by scientists from the University of London.We use it all the time in our daily lives—trial and error is a helpful problem-solving method. It is the basic concept of “learning from your mistakes”. Most of the time, we fail on our first try, so we analyze the failure, make adjustments and try again. After repeating this a few times, we finally get things right.This might sound a bit tiring, but it’s certainly effective and it works for bumblebees.In the study, scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field. Each one of them was fitted with motion-triggered(运动触发的) cameras and had landing platforms with drops of sugar in the middle to attract the bees.At first, scientists noticed the bees’ flying routes were long and complex. But after they gained enough experience, they gradually got to their destination quicker. Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter than the route it had tried before, it was likely to use it again. Otherwise the new route would simply be given up and another one was tested.“The speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees, as this complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,” Professor Lars Chittka, leader of the study, told Sciencedaily.com.In fact, the smart bumblebees don’t try every possible route. Normally, they would only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.More interestingly, scientists found that if they removed a flower, bees would continue looking at that location, even if it has been empty for a long time. “It seems bees don’t easily forget a fruitful flower,” Chittka said.32. The bumblebees are good at finding the best route because ________.A. they have relatively smaller brains.B. their body parts function like GPS.C. they try out different routes and remember the best ones.D. they take the trouble of testing every possible route.33. The author explains the bumblebees’ behavior of trial and error by ________.A. using numbers. B. making a metaphor (比喻).C. making comparisons. D. talking about human behavior.34. The study led by professor Lars Chittka suggests that ________.A. bumblebees try to keep their flying routes long and complex.B. every new route the bumblebees take is shorter than the one they take before.C. bumblebees are familiar with every flying route they have taken before.D. scientists find it unbelievable that bumblebees learn from their mistakes so quickly.35. What is the main point of the article?A. Bumblebees are as smart as large-brained animals.B. Trial and error is an effective way to solve our daily problems.C. A new discovery about how bumblebees find the best routes through trial and error.D. How bumblebees remember the best routes, small as their brains are.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）Many health care workers know that washing hands is important to prevent the spread of an infectious disease. 36 During a study conducted by Nicas and Best at the University of California, Berkley, they counted the number of times when people touched their face with their hands. 37 Whether we are aware of our actions or not, most of us can agree that we touch our face with our hands frequently enough.Imagine that you are able to record a full day of your actions. Better yet, reflect on what you did when you woke up yesterday morning. Let me give you an idea of my previous morning. Let me give you an idea of my previous morning. I was woken by the alarm clock at 6 am. 38 Then I checked my phone for messages, turned on the TV for my morning news, started making my coffee and finally hit the shower. It wasn’t even 5minutes from the time I awoke and I already touched different objects. The point of this is to be aware that even in our homes we are exposed to germs in places we don’t realize.Luckily, the human body has amazing defense against harmful germs. 39 Our white blood cells are like soldiers coming to the rescue.Unfortunately, there are a lot of areas on our face that do not have the protection of skin such as our eyes and mouths. There’s a reason to every wise proverb and our parents annoying us to wash our hands before dinner is not for nothing. 40 If you have children , it is even more important to set the example because children are known to learn from adults. Let’s start a good habit of washing hands. As for your friends, don’t be shy about checking to make sure their hands are clean. Asking someone if they have washed their hands is caring. Checking to see if someone has washed their hands will benefit not only that person, but you and your family.Our skin is the first line of defense.Several minutes later, I turned off the alarm clock.It is easy for us to admit that we wash our hands regularly.They are more self-aware that handwashing should be practiced as needed.Most importantly, it is our duty to set the right example to friends and family.They found that the subjects touched their face 15.7per hour on average.Do the rest of your family members ,especially children, wash their hands regularly.语言运用 （共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文， 从短文后各题所给的AˎBˎC 和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Throughout my life, I was never very athletic.

At my school, there were no qualification 44 ;every student was accepted. As everyone gathered around on the first day of practice, the 45 announced it was time for “warm-up”.

After completing the run, I was 48 !I wondered, “If that’s the warm-up, what’s next?” The real workout for the day was 5-km run, which I mostly walked.

I always came in last during practice and the first few 52 .As days and weeks went on, I really tried my best. During practice, I would always keep at the 53 of the group;the fastest, more confident runners were always ahead, while the laziest were behind. As the result of my 54 ,the warm-up became a real warm-up. The 5-km run transformed into an 55 day of practice. And I was no longer last in anything we did.

Since ancient times, it 56 (be) very popular with natives, especially children. Tanghulu is 57 (common) made of haws(山楂）, which are rich in vitamin C and are known 58 (have) traditional Chinese medicinal properties. According to a legend, in Song dynasty, one of the emperor’s 59 (wife) was sick and had 60 poor appetite. The doctor suggested that she eat five to ten haws 61 (boil) with sugar before each meal. She recovered half a month. Later, the prescription was passed on 62 ordinary people. People put haws on a stick , dipped them in hot sugar syrup (糖浆）and dried. The syrup finally turned into a solid coating, like the crystal on the surface of haws. That is 63 they are also called bingtanghulu. 64 origin story says that the very first tanghulu only had two haws— a small one on the top and a big one below, making it resemble a hulu , a bringer of good luck. With sour haws and sweet sugar, the taste of tanghulu is a combination of flavors, which often 65 (remind) people of their happy childhoods.第四部分 写作（共两节， 满分40分）第一节：应用文写作（满分 15 分） 假定你是李华，在一所国际学校读书。你决定参加学校学生会主席的竞选。 请用英语准备一份竞选演讲稿， 内容包括：自我介绍（性格、兴趣爱好）能胜任这一职位的理由注意： 1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。第二节：读后续写（满分25分）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为150左右。 I was once unemployed. But I never let it affect our family. I kept the family together. I parked the car in the garage and got out, just like every night for the past 16 years. The difference was that I wouldn’t have a job to go in the morning. I used to be a leader in technology for a national bank until it was closed. I’d put my heart and soul into my job. Not only did I work long hours,I was on call 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays too. If someone had a technical problem,even at 2:00A.M.Christmas morning, I was on it. My kids joked that even though they were the teenagers, I was the one who was absorbed in my cell phone and had to be told not to text at table. My wife, Michelle, had been able to go back to work full-time as an office manager once she heard my job was threatened.But our three kids would be going to college—our son,TJ, was a high school senior, and the girls, Sarah and Tara, were in ninth grade—and I wanted to give them the education and opportunities they deserved. I stepped out into our yard. The lawn(草坪）and the flower beds that my mom had tended so carefully were overrun with weeds. There was a tree in the middle of the yard that I remembered my parents planting when I was a boy. It needed pruning. But I’d put on a lot of weight—no time to exercise with my crazy hours. I walked to the house.Michelle greeted me at the door with a hug. “It’s going to be okay,”she said. “Maybe you should think of this time as a break. You deserve one.” “I’m sorry, Dad,”TJ said.“I know how much your job meant to you.”His concern was mirrored in the girl’s faces. “I’ll take care of this,”I told them. “I’m going to work round the clock to find a new job and get our lives back to normal.”Paragraph 1： The next morning I got up before everyone else to search for…________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2： The new lawn I’d planned for so long began to take shape and so did I .________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二上第一次月考英语答案1-5 BAABA 6-10 CACBC11-15 CBAAB 16-20 CACBC21-23 ADC 24-27 BACD 28-31 CABB 32-35 CDDC 36-40 DFBAE完形：41-45 CBAAB 46-50 DCDBA 51-55 DCABC56.has been 57.commonly58.to have 59.wives60.a 61.boiled62.to 63.why64.Another 65.remindsBoys and girls, First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Now allow me to introduce myself. I’m Li Hua from China. As an energetic boy, I love sports, and I’m captain of the school football team. What’s more,I’m warm-hearted and ready to help others. And, I speak English fluently, which helps me communicate with others easily. If you choose me to be chairman of the Students’ Union, I will organize various activities to make your life more colorful and interesting. Also the Students’ Union will regularly collect ideas and opinions from you and pass them on to the teachers in charge.Paragraph 1： The next morning I got up before everyone else to search for a new job online.I e-mailed some of my friends. By midmorning the quiet of the house was driving me crazy. I missed the noise in the office. I saw those overgrown flower beds. I made my way to the lawn with tools. I settled into a new routine. Every day, I took breaks to do the things I’d neglected when I was working all the time.Paragraph 2： The new lawn I’d planned for so long began to take shape and so did I .With the physical labor, the extra weight dropped off,and I felt healthier than I had in ages. And I cleaned the empty family room completely. Soon TJ, Sarah and Tara were bringing their friends over after school. There were so many teenagers hanging out in the family room that I took to calling it “the kid zone”. On weekends, Michelle and I gardened together. On summer evenings the five of us hung out. I had the chance to find my balance between work and family.(170words)
