              高三学年英语九月月考试卷第I卷
第一部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节：（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300.
  That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.
  Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.
  As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient（熟练的）at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.
  In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.
1. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.
  A. had had higher income
  B. had had a good habit of saving money
  C. had often spent money without thinking much
  D. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems
2. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?
  A. Two             B. Three             C. Four              D. Five
3. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.
  A. stopped halfway                              B. couldn’t stand the life of frugality     
C. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days” D. succeeded in saving in the end
4. This passage is mainly about _________.
  A. how a family managed their daily life
  B. a family’s no-buying try
  C. a family’s way of solving life problems
  D. how a new idea came up    
B
  The 1920s was a decade of wealth, decadence(堕落) and social changes. They were known as the Roaring Twenties, and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City. But what was it really like?
  Prohibition
  In 1919, a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol. But Prohibition didn’t stop people drinking; it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground. Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.
  Jazz
  Jazz was the music of New York in the 1920s. In fact, the decade is called Jazz Age. The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem. All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club, including Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and DukeＥllington. Also, in 1942 George Gersgwin composed the jazz---influenced Rhapsody in Blue. The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.
  Art Deco
  Art Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s, with bright colors and geometric designs; it can be seen in the art, architecture and inside designs of the period. New York is full of Art Deco buildings, but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931).
  The Great Depression
  On 29^th October, 1929, the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end. On that day (known as “Black Tuesday”), the US stock market crashed, causing the Great Depression. The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world. Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country didn’t recover until after World War II.
5. We know from the passage that in 1919 people ________ alcohol in the US.
  A. began to buy and sell                       B. stopped producing
  C. completely stopped trading                  D. secretly bought and sold
6. The 1920s is called _________.
  A. Country Music Time   B. Jazz Age   C. Folk Music Age   D. Pop Age
7. We infer from the passage that the US _________ in the year 1930.
  A. was in a bad economic state                B. was in good economic condition
  C. developed at a rapid speed                 D. had many dramatic plays
