2021-2022学年甘肃省定西市安定区福台高级中学高二（上）第三次月考英语试卷

第一部分 阅读理解第一节 （共4小题； 每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。

• 1．A good teacher is many things to many people.In my own experience，the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline from their students.
     I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school.I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person.I remember very vividly a sign over her classroom door.It was a simple sign that said， "Laboratory—in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized，not the last seven." In other words，I guess，labor for her was more important than oratory，which means making speeches.
     She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same.We got lots of homework from her.Once she had broken her arm，and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced，but it continued just the same.She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.
     I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least.But as time goes by，this discipline really seems to benefit the students.
  
  （1）Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer？

  
  A．A patient teacher.
  B．An honest teacher.

  .
  A．to remind the students that this room was a laboratory

  .
  A．gave her students the usual amount of homework
  B．gave her students less homework

• 2．Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to have a pleasant visit，find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts.You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.
     A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at the table.The left hand should be used from washing yourself.Also in India，you might see a man shaking his head at another and think that he is disagreeing.But in many parts of India this movement just means agreement or acceptance.
     At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula （阿拉伯半岛），you will find that the drinking cup is always refilled as soon as you drink it.The way to say that you have enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
     In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone，even at an important meeting.During this when meeting an important person in Thailand，however，could cause troubles.Also when in Thailand，do not touch the head of an adult---it's just not done.

  .
  A．learn the language all the time
  B．read some books about their customs

• 3．The United States covers a large part of the North American continent.Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.Although the United States is a big country，it is not the largest in the world.In 1964，its population was over 185，000，000.
