特立中学20152016学年第二学期高一英语月考卷考试时间：100分钟 满分：150分第一部分 阅读理解题（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45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。(a)how much physical activity do you get？as a teenager，physical activity is important，not just for your future health but for looking and feeling your best now.how active you are early in life may affect how ableminded you are late in life.that was the finding of a new study of cognitive impairment (认知障碍)，or a loss in mental abilities.the study involved more than nine thousand women in the united states over the age of sixtyfive.they answered questions about their level of physical activity as teenagers and at age thirty，fifty and late in life.laura middleton of the sunnybrook health sciences center in canada led the study.laura middleton said，“people who were physically active on a regular basis had lower risk of cognitive impairments in late life.and it seemed that teenage physical activity was particularly important in terms of the prevention of cognitive impairments.”laura middleton noted two longlasting effects that physical activity can have on teenagers.exercise could help strengthen the blood vessels(血管) that carry blood and oxygen to the brain.also，physical activity is known to improve the brains ability to repair itself.moreover，she noted that doing exercise is good for psychological development.the study is in the journal of the american geriatrics society.women who said they were physically active even once a week showed less cognitive impairment as measured by a test.there was not a strong link between the amount of physical activity and the seriousness of impairment.but the link was strongest among those who were active as teenagers.laura middleton says other studies of exercise and cognitive skills have found a stronger link in women than in men.still，she says，there is no reason to suggest that the finding about teenage physical activity should not apply to men as well.21the passage mainly talks about the fact that _.awomen are generally more active than menbteenagers today are involved in more physical activitycpeoples level of physical activity varies at different agesdphysical activity in teens is linked to mental skills in late life22what do we know about the study？()apeople surveyed are all physically active.bit was carried out online.cmost people surveyed are elderly ladies.dit is a worldwide study.23we can infer from the last paragraph that _.amens cognitive skills are not related to the amount of exercisebmale teenagers should also get involved in physical activitycmen have greater cognitive skills than womendmen do more physical exercise than women24this passage is most probably taken from _.aa science bookba personal diaryca health reportda travel magazine (b)when i was asked to speak at the community book club lunch party，i thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers，and i considered doing a book review or discussing the life of a wellknown literary figure，but i thought i would break with tradition today in order to share some anecdotes from the life of a man，who，like you，enjoyed reading.in spite of the fact that thomas alva edison had almost no formal education，spending only three months in school，his mother taught him to read at quite an early age.between the ages of nine and twelve，he read such difficult volumes as homershistory of england，gibbons decline and fall of the roman empire，and neons principia.as a young man，mr. edison decided to read all of the books in the detroit public library，systematically (系统地) shelf by shelf.after finishing the first fifteen feet，he decided to reconsider the task.a few years later，in cincinnati，his love for reading almost cost him his life.having stayed at the library until very late，mr. edison started home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars.suspecting that he might be a thief，a policeman ordered him to stop.but mr. edison was too deaf to hear the order.the policeman shot，and missed.in addition to the electric light，thomas edison is known for inventing the photograph，microphone，mimeograph，electric storage battery，and photographic film.whenever he was paid for an invention，he used the money for his two lovesmore experiments and more books.a friend described edisons life in those busy days：“i went to visit tom，”he said，“and i found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from new york，london，and paris.he studied them night and day，eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair.in six weeks he had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments using the formulas that he had studied.”25the reason why the speaker chose to talk about thomas edison is that _.ahe was a wellknown scientist bhe was a famous literary figureche liked to read very muchdhe is one of the authors best friends26what did mr. edison do with the money that he earned from his invention？()ahe built schools for the poor children.bhe spent it on books and doing experiments.che gave the money to the public library.dhe offered the money to his mother for further education.27which one of the following is true about edison according to the passage？()ahe ever stole some magazines from the library.bhis ear was shot by the police and went deaf.che received most of his education from reading.dhe never received any formal education at all.28the best title for this passage is “ _”athomas edisona great inventorbthomas edison and his inventionscthomas edisona great readerdthomas edison and the book club (c)monte lbean life science museum is set to reopen on june 7 after being closed almost two years for rearrangements.the museum，which houses preserved animal specimens(样本)，including lions，wolves，elephants，a tiger and hundreds of other creatures，has increased in size and also features updates and new exhibits.“the africa exhibit，which we had just barely redone about a year before we closed.is still in place，” said larry st.clair，the museums director.“other than that，there are about 25 new exhibits that weve never had in the building before.” the museum first opened in 1978 and was named after monte lbean，who donated many animal collections to the museum.a new educational area has been set up for children，where kids can play in replicas (复制品)of the types of animal environments.“we really make efforts to plan our educational programming，with the science curriculum (课程)standards of the state，so we really try to help young people learn the things that are taught in school in the context of the museum，”st.clair said.above all，children would learn how to live with animal in harmony.then they can get ideas to protect our land.because the museum has been closed for two years，staff members are expecting a rise in attendance.also，people think the wait will be worth it，that they have been expecting a visit with their children.“my hope is that when people come in，theyll say its better than it was before，” st.clair said.“weve changed our whole concept of exhibits and the way we do those，and i think people will see it as a real refreshing change.”29why was the museum shut down two years ago?ato preserve animal specimens. bto welcome more children.cto protect the environment. dto plan the museum wisely.30who is monte lbean according to the passage?athe museums director. ba staff member of the museum.ca donator to the museum. da educator of a school.31what is the text mainly about?aan educational programming. ba science
