The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they werecoming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.21.

It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vietnamese folk story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the children playing by themselves. To make up for that time, the parents would use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and thanks for their children.As a result, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Children’s Festival. In the United States, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese-American families. Activities are often centered on children and education. Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can take part in a candle and lantern parade at dawn. Lanterns mean brightness, while the parade means success in school. Vietnamese markets sell a variety of lanterns, but the most popular children’s lantern is the star lantern. Other children’s activities include arts and crafts in which children makeface masks and lanterns. Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dances for adults and take part in contests for prizes. Unicorn (麒麟) dancers are also very popular.Like Chinese people, Vietnamese parents tell their children folk stories and serve moon cakes and other special treats under the bright moon. A favorite folk story is about a carp (鲤鱼) that wanted to become a dragon. The carp worked and worked and finally changed itself into a dragon. Parents use this story to encourage their children to work hard so that they can become whatever they want to be.11. We can learn from the passage that Tet-Trung-Thu is celebrated ________.A. in China and other Asian countriesB. by Vietnamese-American familiesC. all over the world except VietnamD. across the United States12. In both Vietnam and China, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, people would ______.A. eat moon cakesB. buy lanterns for childrenC. take part in contestsD. buy a carp13. What is the focus of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam?A. Family get-togethers.B. Children and education.C. Relaxation and fun in the middle of the year.D. Parents having more time with their children.14. The parents tell their children folk stories because ______.A. children like listening to them in the eveningB. they want to show their love for their childrenC. they want to encourage their children to work hardD. they want to make up for lost timeBOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the Rock & Roll music popular around the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was a teenager, Elvis moved from Tupelos to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called ―country and western‖.In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. There was something different about it. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music, which black people used to sing in the Ame rican South, music known as ―blues‖.Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排)concerts for him across the United States and new recordings as well. Soon Elvis rose to fame all over the country. Later, Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films like Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it hard to live with success, like many other entertainment personalities (娱乐圈内的人士) .He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer. When he died at an earlyage of 42 in 1977, his many millions of fans were shocked. ―The King Is Dead!‖ the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock & Roll.15. Judging from the passage, we may conclude____ .A. Elvis forgot his church music at a later ageB. his church songs helped his development in his singingC. Elvis didn't get any help from his parents in singingD. his church songs didn't help develop his own style16. What was Elvis’s style of singing like most probably?A. Only country and western.B. Only country and blue.C. Both western and country.D. Not only country and western but also a bit ―blues‖.17. What was the main reason for death ?A. A car accidentB. Killing by othersC. Taking drugsD. Heart attractCIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about reading rate:●Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.●Some things should be read slowly throughout.

Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackoiids and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalizing on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.22. According to Dr Dominoni's study, what causes robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modem.C. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.23. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected.24. What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Active at night.B. Inactive at night.C. Active during the day.D. Inactive during the day.25. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollutionD. Because there are more places to take shelter. 七选五：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。

2015-2016学年第二学期高一年级学前考试英语试卷（考试时间:90分钟满分：100分）命题教师：徐艳梅本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。

第Ⅰ卷（共二部分，满分60分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）AThere has been a great increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is reported that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future．Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves．LondonLondon’s flood defenses(防御工事) are getting older．Since 1982，the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years．About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions，by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every flood if the problem is not solved．There are 26 underground stations，400 schools，1 6 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion wealth in London’s flood risk area, so large flooding would be extremely terrible．ParisOver a six week period in July and August 2003，more than 1 1,400―mainly old people―died in France because of dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a terrible heat wave．Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050，so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have air-conditioners in elderly care homes．But this is considered a short-term solution，as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(碳排放)．In Paris the local government are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” whic h uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner．ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth．It has a population of 1 8 million and is only 4 meters above sea level．Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century．About 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy．China relies heavily on coal fired power stations，but these emissions increase temperatures and，in turn，warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons．1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Big Cities Facing Big DisastersB. Big Disasters in the FutureC. The Increase of Natural DisastersD. Solutions to Natural Disasters2. What problem should be solved now in London?A. How to protect the city’s wealth．B. Where to build its flood defenses．C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city．D. How to improve the function of the old flood defenses．3. Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo．B. Having air-conditioners in elderly care homes．C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings．4. The major threats to Shanghai are ．A. increasing populationB. rising sea levels and typhoonsC. coal-fired power stationsD. extra demands on energy5. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us how to protect the big cities.B. To give advice on how to fight against natural disasters.C. To explain what causes flood and heat waves.D. To warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems．For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tour ism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists．Tourism should also improve the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports，air terminals, first－class roads, and other support facilities（设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be many support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, workers to carry away waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.6. Which of the following has most probably been discussed before this passage?A. It is very important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.C. Planning is very important to tourism.D. Support facilities are highly important.7. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A. over-crowdedness of public placesB. too much trafficC. a change of tourists’ customsD. a bad effect on other industries8. Not enough tourism can lead to ______.A. an increase of unemploymentB. an increase of businessC. the highest cost of support facilitiesD. the rising happiness of the inhabitants9. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help follow their customsD. help improve their life10. What can be inferred from the text ?A. The author doesn't like tourism developing so fast.B. Local people will benefit from tourist attraction.C. Other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much.D. We can't build too many support facilities.第二节：七选五（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。
