中山一中2011-2012学年高一第一次段考英语一．完型填空(2’×10=20’)The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how 1 you have all worked to prepare for this test.” He said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.”Many students jumped up to 2 the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, “ Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last 3 .”Two more students decided to go.Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the 4 . There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just 5 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test 6 any teacher could and should give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量).The same is 7 in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both success and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, either from formal education 8 from events in their lives, and have become better people.Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you 9 that you have some limits(限制). However, there is 10 you can’t do or learn or be.

If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in abarber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny.

This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned f or a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policem an happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station.

Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed. That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school.“I always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says. “One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.” He was only 16, but he got it.Fighting fires is dangerous work. Firefighters never stop practicing the skills they need to stay safe. Once Coston learned those skills, he was allowed to work inside burning buildings.“Teamwork is most important,” he says. “It’s the whole team that puts the fire out.”Firefighters feel great about helping people. “My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning,” says Coston. He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job. “I’ll get my degree in emergency medical care and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while. I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end, but I will never forgetthe days as a firefighter. These are my unforgettable experiences,” he says.21.

What does the underlined part “dream job” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Being a firefighter.B. Being a volunteer in a fire and rescue company.C. Being a flight doctor on a helicopter.D. Working in a hospital.DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in sucha society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?26. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideB. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration（证明）before they leave without paying27. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.29. The word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.A. people who often take taxisB. people who are dishonestC. people who are worthy of trustD. people who often have meals in big hotels30. It can be learned that ______________.A. all the Finns are richB. Finland has been a good place for cheats（骗子）C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level （道德水平）D. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily life三、语法填空(1.5’×10=15’)Anne’s best friendFor example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by 1) ____________.

But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."—Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you' re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn't always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. "I have seen their confidence increase rapidly." he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.Syona's teacher has ' an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done --- she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.4．What does the author think of Albert Einstein's saying?A．Funny. B．True. C．Strange. D．Confusing.5．What can we learn about Syona's teacher?A．She is Syona's favorite teacher. B．She puts Einstein's quote on the wallC．She uses videos to teach her students. D．She helps increase her students' confidence.6．What change has taken place in the author's family?A．They've invited Ulmer's students to their home. B．They visit Ulmer's classroom regularly.C．They give each other praise every day. D．They feel thankful to people in their lives.7．What is the author's attitude towards Chris Ulmar's way of teaching?A．Supportive B．Opposed C．Indifferent D．NegativeCTraveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different ways of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go pasta fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it’s about five minutes from here." You don't understand completely, "Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?" To this question you won't get an answer, because most probably they don't know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say," Follow me." Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say," Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People there believe that "I don't" is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It's body language.8．Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A．"The post office is at Street Kamira."B．"Turn right at the hospital and go past a school."C．"The post office is about five minutes from here."D．"Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile."9．Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?A．They prefer to head you the way.B．They prefer to use body language.C．They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.D．They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.10．How do Greeks give directions?A．Using street names. B．Using landmarks.C．Leading people the way. D．Giving people a wrong direction.11．What will probably be talked about in the next paragraph?A．The importance of a map. B．The situation in London.C．Different languages in Japan. D．The use of body language.DOver the last seven years, most states have banned (禁止) texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration, said distracted (分心) driving was "only increasing, unfortunately.""Big change requires big ideas," he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands- free driving laws."We need something on the books that can change people's behavior," said Felix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."12．Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?A．Ineffective. B．Unnecessary. C．Inconsistent. D．Unfair.13．What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?A．Where a driver came from.B．Whether a driver used their phone when driving.C．How fast a driver was going.D．When a driver arrived at the scene.14．What does the underlined word" something" in the last paragraph refer to?A．Advice. B．Data．C．Tests. D．Laws.15．What is a suitable title for the text?A．To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You StartB．Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the TextalyzerC．New York Banning Hand- Held Devices by Drivers.D．The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer.第二节（本题共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分。

I、完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） Guess what? Your dog can get jealous when you pay attention to other dogs, other people or even other things. Dogs have complex such as jealousy (嫉妒) and pride, according to a scientific research that throws new light on their relations with . Animal psychologists previously believed most animals lacked “ 3 of self”, which is needed to experience secondary emotions such as 4 , embarrassment or guilt. These emotions are more complex than instant reactions such as anger or joy. Professor Friederike Range, from the University of Vienna, has shown that dogs are jealous when they feel unfairly treated 5 to other dogs. “Dogs show a strong 6 to inequity (不公平),” she said.“If one dog gets something, you’d better believe another will something as well.” But, her study points out that it doesn't matter if one gets a better treat and only that the distribution is 8 . The dog study is the latest into several 9 , including cows, horses, cats and sheep, which have 10 that animals are far more self-aware than they were thought. Paul Morris, a psychologist at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times: “We are learning that dogs, and horses are far more 11 complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of many feelings we once thought only primates (灵长类) could experience.” In research among 12 , Morris found almost all of them reported 13 behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to get their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship. Behavior experts recommend owners keeping their dogs 14 as much as possible from a new partner or child.

III：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） A The Americans have been voted the world’s “funniest nationality” ---the one “best at making people laugh” ---in a global poll (民意调查), which also names the Germans the “least funny”nationality and the British “not as funny as they think”. 30,000 people across 15 countries were asked to name both the “funniest” and “least funny”nationality in a poll conducted by , the world’s largest social network for meeting new people, with 119 million users worldwide. The Americans were voted the funniest nationality, ahead of the Spanish --- the funniest Europeans --- in second, Italians in third and British in seventh. The voting for the “least funny” nationality confirmed the view of America’s Mark Twain that “a German joke is no laughing matter”. The Germans won, ahead of the Russians and Turks. The stereotype of German humourlessness is believed to derive from their reputation for efficiency, punctuality and rationality(理性). Examples of German jokes include: “Yesterday, I met my friend Horst at the hospital. He’d swallowed a sponge. He says it doesn’t hurt but he’s always thirsty.” “When we meet someone new, one of the first things we notice is whether they make us laugh”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Marketing Director. “America is a worthy poll winner”, says Price. “It’s the world’s only comedy superpower.” The British pride themselves on their humour but learn from the poll that they’re not as funny as they think. They placed just seventh of 15 --- behind the Brazilians, French and Mexicans. 36. According to the poll, which is the right order from the funniest nationality to the least funny one? A. Spanish, Americans, French, Mexicans, British B. Americans, Spanish, Italians, Brazilians, French C. British, Mexicans, Brazilians, Spanish, Americans D. Italians, French, British, Mexicans, Brazilians 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The poll was conducted among 119 million people by Badoo. com. B. Spanish are the funniest nationality in Europe. C. That Germans are named the “least funny” nationality is because of Mark Twain. D. Some people think that British are funny while others think the opposite in the poll. 38. Which can be the substitute of the word “derive” in the fourth paragraph?A. acquireB. sufferC. translateD. accomplish 39. What is the author’s purpose of telling us a German joke? A. The author wants to show that Germans are good at telling jokes. B. The author wants to confirm what Mark Twain said. C. The author wants to prove that Germans are not funny at all. D. The author just wants to say that swallowing a sponge is no harm. 40. It seems that the best title for this passage is ______. A. The Funniest Nationality B. A Global Poll Conducted by C. Americans Won the Funniest Nationality D. Americans Voted “Funniest Nation”, Germans “Least Funny” B If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo designed on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world. In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult. In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off. So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful. 41. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?A. Women's design.B. Beautiful body decoration.C. Attractive decoration.D. Body decoration. 42. What does the underlined word "trolley" in the first paragraph mean?A. handbagB. luggageC. shopping cartD. basket 43. On Bali, it is believed that _____________.A. a person with sharp teeth looks uglyB. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly C. a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off 44. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful. B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly. C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali. D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar. 45. What is the best title of the passage?A. Who Is a Beautiful Woman?B. Inner beautyC. Different Ideas about BeautifulD. Body Decoration C After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.” Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before: Dear Dick, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too.
