高中英语真题：2015—2016学年高一上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Once upon a time, in a beautiful mountain inn, there was a greedy old innkeeper who was always thinking about money.One day, a rich man stopped at the inn. The innkeeper looked at the guest's fat money belt and she thought, “Oh, if only all that money could be mine!” The rich man requested the most expensive room at the inn, and he went up to his room to dress for dinner.Now, all around the inn there grew beautiful Japanese ginger plants. Many people say that eating buds（芽；花蕾）of ginger makes a person forgetful. This gave the innkeeper an idea.“This evening for dinner I’ll serve ginger bud tempura (日本菜肴)!” she tho ught. “Then, when the rich man leaves in the morning, he’ll be forgetful and leave his money belt behind!” She ran into the kitchen andstarted cooking up the most delicious ginger bud tempura she had ever made.Soon, the rich man went down the stairs and requested dinner. The innkeeper could hardly contain her delight as she served him dish after dish of ginger buds. “Delicious!” said the rich man. When dinner was finished, he went to bed happy and full of ginger buds.In the morning, the innkeeper saw that the rich man off at the front door. As soon as he was out of sight, she raced up to his room. She looked all over the room for the money belt, but she couldn’t find it. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was the rich man’s bill. He had forgotten to pay it! She ran down the stairs, out the front door, and up the road until she was out of breath, but the rich man was already far, far away.(1) What does the author want us to learn from this story?A. Innkeeper are always thinking about moneyB. Trying to take things that belong to others is foolishC. If you ever stay at a country inn, be careful about your moneyD. Helping others is a virtue(2) After he left the inn, we can infer that _______.A. the rich man was very angry at the innkeeperB. the rich man felt lucky that he didn’t lose his moneyC. the rich man was probably not aware that anything had happenedD. the rich man found some of his money was gone(3) What was the piece of paper on the floor?A. a note from the rich manB. a bill for the room at the innC. a piece of writing paperD. a letter the former guest left(4) What’s the best title of this story?A. the greedy innkeeperB. a rich manC. the Japanese gingerD. a kind heart2.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs); it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’ and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than wepreviously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.(1) What’s the underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 closest in meaning to?A. without a messageB. without a problemC. without introductionD. without delay(2) It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected(3) What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.3. A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放) is to eat less meat. In fact, the study showed that meat consumption(食用量) in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050.Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050. That’s because the global population is expec ted to grow from the present 7 billion to 9 billion. But also, the diets of people inmany developing countries are changing. Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption, especially red meat.Dr. Eric Davidson, the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions. People in developed countries, he said, already eat much more protein than the daily requirement.“In the developed world, there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat. If there is a growing need for meat, that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer(肥料) and production of more livestock manure(家畜粪肥), both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,” he said.Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way. “ If we want to meet the gre atest goal of making harmful climate change under control, we need to improve the efficiency(效能) with which we use fertilizers in agriculture. We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure. And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns(饮食方式). And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world,” he said.Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today, he said climate change would con tinue. “ But that does not mean that we can do nothing for it now, because the sooner we start to take action, the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of beingable to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation(退化),” he said.(1) According to the new study, eating less meat is ________.A. one of the best ways to keep healthyB. an effective way to develop the economyC. the best way to control greenhouse gas emissionsD. a good way to protect the environment(2) In paragraph 4, what does Dr. Eric Davidson mainly talked about?A. The harms of releasing various greenhouse gasesB. The side effects of producing fertilizers and manureC. The effects of growing need for meat on the environmentD. The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat(3) The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the environmentB. climate changeC. greenhouse gasesD. the lifestyle(4) In Dr. Eric Davidson’s opinion, _________.A. it’s important to encourage farmers to use fertilizersB. our future generations will live more comfortablyC. a balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate changeD. it’s completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions4.Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the fut ure Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I wi ll never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”(1) What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman left the restaurant at once.D. The woman comforted him.(2) Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. an interesting best-selling bookB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. his experience as a waiter(3) According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Waiter RuleC. Swanson’s bookD. the Management Rules(4) From the text we can learn that ________.A. one should respect others no matter who they areB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should be nicer to important peopleD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants二、阅读填空(共2题)1.For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping —watching TV and buying things by phone. __36__ In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.__37__ For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kindsof things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, unple like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. __39__ Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.__40__ They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.A. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.B. Teleshopping is popular among people.C. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.D. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.E. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”.F. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.G. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.2.What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know 61 to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more 62 (throw) away as rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways 63 (bring) down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other 64 (company) now also take back some old computers.In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and 65 (recycle) their used products. And 70%of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws 66 (be) that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers 67 (easy) to repair and upgrade (升级).Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford 68 at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. 69 computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish 70 someone elseˈs useful things and cut down waste, too.三、完型填空(共1题)1.Six months before she died, my mother moved into an old people's home.

2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试试卷英语(共150分，共120分钟)第一卷共100分一、听力（30分，每小题1.5分）略二、阅读理解（30分，每小题2分）AYesterday was awful. We had what they’re calling a “weather event” here, and it poured about 14 inches of rain in a day, causing by far the worst flash flooding I’ve seen in the 13 years in the place where we’ve lived. The kids and I ended up being trapped in our car in rapidly rising flood waters. The engine had stopped and couldn’t start again; the kids were terrified and I didn’t know what to do. Then a man in a 4WD pulled up beside us and offered to pull us out of the water.When he got us to higher ground he asked where our home was. We lived about 2km down the road, so he pulled us all the way back to our street before going off to look for more people in trouble.I don’t know this man and I ‘ll probably never see him again, but the kids and I owe him a huge debt of gratefulness that we’ll never be able to repay. Five local people died in this “weather event”, just a few streets away from here, so I’m in no doubt as to how dangerous our situation was. Going through what we went through has only reinforced(强化) the fact that we should always be ready and willing to help someone in need to stay safe and be well, whatever the situations are.21.What can we learn about the “weather event”?A. It was the biggest flood ever in this area.B. It rained for several days.C. Several people lost their lives in the event.D. Nobody was hurt in the event.22.Which statement is NOT TRUE about the man?A. He drove a car of great power.B. He left as soon as he pulled the author’s car out.C. He was willing to help those in trouble.D. He was a brave and selfless person.23. What is the author probably going to do after going through such a “weather event”?A. Be ready to give hands to others.B. Buy a car with a more powerful engine.C. Try hard to search for the man.D. Pay some money for the man’s help.24.Which one is the best title for the passage?A. A Weather EventB. The Kindness of a StrangerC. A Car Accident in FloodD. An Awful DayBDo two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue on our website.LucinaWhen you decide to have another child , you should plan your budget（预算）in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your body, you have to at least spend an extra 5000 yuan per month to hire a body sitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another 1 million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.BcnuTwo is more than twice the work, there’s no guaranteeing（确保）they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as children are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.StevenI always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical, an d financial resources. If I had any more children, I don’t think I could handle it.WilliamUnder the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The “little emperors” have no idea of sharing and giv ing and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.25.What can we learn from the passage?A.Few families are ready for a second child in China.B.It takes a lot of money to raise a second child.C.Steven has never considered having a second child.D.Many kids become selfish because of the one-child policy26.Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?A.LucinaB. BcnuC. StevenD. William27.What does the underlined part “that sort of thing” most probably refer to ?A.T he two kids have different interests.B.I t makes life hard to have two kids.C.P arents can’t treat the two kids equally.D.T he two kids fight with each other.28.Which of the following statements about the four persons is true?A.L ucina plants to send her kids to study abroad.B.B cnu thinks having a second child means more trouble.C.S teven suffers from health problems.D.W illiam has a selfish child.CYou know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars haveno steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.29.Why was the Google’s car stopped by police?A.It ran too fastB. It looks the lawC.It drove too slowly.D. It had no driver.30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The car hasn’t changed a lot over the past 10 yea rs.B.Google has no self-driving car technology.C.Self-driving cars are widely used in the U.S.D.Google self-driving cars haven’t been fined so far.31.What distance can a person drive in year on average?A.About 22,000kmB.About 18,000kmC.About 45,000km.D.About 11,000km.DFor over a month, forest fires in Indonesia spread very quickly out of control as the country suffered its worst drought（干旱）in 50 years. Within days a cloud of some was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous（有毒的）. Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot（烟灰）covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmentalcosts and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In low-land forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.32.When did the forest fires most probably happen?A. In JulyB. In OctoberC. In NovemberD. In December33.Which of the following is true about the forest fires?A.The fires spread to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.B.The fires were put out by the firefighters and volunteers.C.Many animals were left homeless because of the smog.D.4,000people were killed by the forest fires.34. When can we learn from the passage?A.Smog can lead to drought problem.B.Smog can cause forest fires easily.C.Smog has little effect on wildlife.D.Smog is more than an Asian problem.35.What is the similarity between the Indonesia smog and the London smog?A.Both were caused by drought.B.Both caused many deaths.C.Both were poisonous.D.Both spread in several countries.三、七选五(共5小题；每小题2分。

2015-2016高一年级第一学期期末考试试卷—英语卷I第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节, 满分30分）第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AHeading off to college this year？Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：Dress to impress：Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says，“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network.You don't need to dress like you're going to the office，but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence，and look put­together.”Logo mania(品牌狂热症)：Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group，so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It's tempting to load up on logos，especially well­known logos that signify high­end brands.But consider this：college is a time of self­discovery，a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing logos head to toe，“walking advertisement”­style，why not express who you really are?Wear real pants：The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings，yoga pants，and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising.Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls，they are not an appropriate choice for daywear.As a young woman，your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So，get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum：Stay away from sweaters and T­shirts with smiling animals，cartoon characters，or Hello Kitty on them.Sure，kittens might be cute，but they're not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look，and not necessarily in a good way!21．The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.A．impressing professors B．getting on well with classmatesC．creating a professional imag D．dressing appropriately22．The author recommends wearing real pants because ________________.A．leggings and baggy shirts are too common B．yoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortableC．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity D．people like real pants better than the other pants 23．What's the writer's attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A．They make people look lovely. B．They are very fashionable these days.C．They will show you're an animal lover. D．They are not suitable for college­aged students.24．In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A．Business Week. B．Parents.C．Style. D．Travel & Leisure.BA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute<”someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.”Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the dayeventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,”I said. “Okey, here we go.”Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.25.

He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition(作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.28.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A.It attracted more people to theatres.B.It proved jazz could be serious music.C.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D.It caused a debate among jazz musicians.29.What do we learn from the last paragraph?A.Many of Gershwin’s works were lost.B.The death of Gershwin was widely reported.C.A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D.Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.30.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A.Talented and productive.B.Serious and boring.C.Popular and unhappy.D.Friendly and honest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
