高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear?What do you think of that?Fashionable?Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look．But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools．

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low—rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body．His request came after a class trip．when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for schoo1．

But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents．teachers and students．The issue is whether the head teacher’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual(随意的)．

A parents’group praised the proposal in favour of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings．

“We do not want to kick fashion out，’’ the headmaster explained．“But extremes of fashion like this are not right in schoo1．”Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers．

Most students have simply ignored the request．Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremelv low trousers exposing orange underwear in class．It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf(围巾)．Another 14-year-old said she should probably respect the request，simply for practical reasons．”I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans”，said Sarah Lattanzi．”In winter，when dressed like that，it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache．”

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.

This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.

The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.

In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78.

The influence is obvious.

In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.

Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke".

That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.

1.The text is mainly about 　　　 .

A. the price of cigarettes

B. the rate of teen smoking

C. the effect of tobacco tax increase

D. the differences in tobacco tax rate

2.What does the author think is a surprise?

A. Teen smokers are price sensitive

B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low

C. Tobacco taxes improve public health

D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise

3.Rogers' attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of 　　　 .

A. tolerance　　 B. unconcern

C. doubt　　 D. sympathy

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run

B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill

C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking

D. Adults will depend more on their families

On a clear night, you can see a sky paced with stars. But you can’t see planets orbiting any of these stars, even with the strongest Earth—based telescopes. Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earth—sized planets orbiting a nearby star called TRAPPIST – 1 in February. They had to rely on indirect evidence to tell them that the planets are there. By doing some math, they figured out the number of planets and the distance of their orbits.

TRAPPIST – 1 is a red dwarf （红矮星）, much smaller than our sun, but larger than Jupiter (木星). If the sun were the size of a basketball, TRAPPIST – 1would be the size of a gold ball. This star is one of our closest neighbors, just like the moon to the earth in space.

When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST – 1,they noticed that every once in a while, it became slightly dim（昏暗）. They decided that a planet must be passing in front of the star, blocking part of the light. This dimming would come and go as the planet orbited the star, passing alternately (交替地) behind and in front of the star regularly.

By making careful observations, astronomers expected to get a rough idea of the planet’s size from the pattern of dimming light. But the light level changed often and not at evenly spaced (均匀间隔的) times. The astronomers had to conclude they were looking at more than one planet! To get additional data, NASA’s spritzer Space Telescope measured TRAPPIST –1’s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days, catching 34 crossings of planets in front of the star. Sorting through the mess of data, the astronomers found that the innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earth days, while the outermost planet takes 20 days. Once you know how long it takes each planet to complete an orbit, you can work out how far it is from the star compared with the other planets.

The TRAPPIST – 1 planets are not alone. So far, astronomers have found more than 3,400 planets that orbit other stars.

1.How did astronomers know the number of planets orbiting TRAPPIST –1?

A. They used their eyes.　　 B. They used telescopes.

C. They performed some calculation.　　 D. They made some guess.

2.How does the author introduce TRAPPIST – 1 in paragraph 2?

A. By giving examples.　　 B. By making comparisons.

C. By providing research results.　　 D. By listing some numbers.

3.What probably causes the star TRAPPIST – 1 to be slightly dim?

A. The telescope’s failure.　　 B. The cloud floating around.

C. The star’s moving.　　 D. The passing planets.

4.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. The ways to get the information of the planets.

B. The introduction of the planets.

C. The distances of the planets to the star.

D. The astronomers’ effort of exploring TRAPPIST – 1.

(D)

You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.

When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.

Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.

1.You can see the book because_______.

A．your eyes are close to it                  B．it reflects some of the sunlight

C．it has light of its own                     D．your eyesight can get to it

2.The underlined word “luminous” means_______.

A．visible            B．all colors          C．giving off light      D．sunlight

3.________ have light of their own.

A．The sun and the moon                   B．The stars and the earth

C．The sun and the stars                    D．The moon and the earth

4.Which of the following is true?

A．All the things you can see give off light.

B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.

C．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.

D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

5.This article is probably from _________ .

A．a science magazine                      B．a medical magazine

C．a biography                            D．a story book.
