福建省福州市八县(市、区)一中2022-2023学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight and help kids do better in school. Scientists have also proved that outdoor activities at an early age can help children form healthy habits for life. But don’t expect kids to understand about those things. Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be attracted to the TV. So parents could do something to help inactive kids fall in love with physical activity.If parents sit in front of the TV every night, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions (限制) you set on their screen time either. So check your own behavior and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life. Walk instead of driving if possible. Regularly join in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see how much you enjoy them. In this way, they may “do as the Romans do”. Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family plans as well as school, work and shopping. Then you and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan. And your children will begin to expect that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and on a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be worried about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure. They need all the support and encouragement from parents. Negative comments don’t work and will only make them feel bad. Remember, fix on the effort — choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill — rather than the result. 1.What’s the second paragraph mainly about ?A.How parents can lead children to exercise.B.Why children should enjoy exercise. C.What activity parents can join in.D.When parents can watch TV. 2.Which is not helpful for children to enjoy physical activity ?A.Good examples set by parents for children.B.A family routine of exercise. C.Support and encouragement from parents.D.Negative comments from parents. 3.What does the text tell us ?A.It is the result that always comes first.B.Kids can choose either exercise or the TV.C.Exercise is necessary for healthy development.D.Children having few physical skills should be punished.4.How can we describe the author’s attitude to children’s enjoying exercise? A.Doubtful.B.Supportive.C.Opposed.D.Unconcerned. 5.From which is the text probably taken ?A.An advertisement.B.A news report.C.A magazine.D.A science book.A 17-year-old pilot has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.Rutherford also became the youngest person to fly around the world in an ultralight (超轻型的) plane. His sister, Zara, finished her own around-the-world flight in January at age 19. Until Wednesday, she held the ultralight record. Zara also set the record as the youngest woman to fly alone around the world. His trip, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries across five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator (赤道) twice.Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s license in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15. His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel container.Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of several barriers, including rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada,and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.His sister, Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight. “While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him,” she said. “Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him.”6.How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his trip?A.16 years old.B.17 years old.C.18 years old.D.19 years old. 7.For what purpose was the plane changed before the flight?A.A faster speed.B.A lighter weight.C.A longer flying time.D.An extra seat. 8.Which is not the reason why Mack Rutherford couldn’t complete his flight in expected period?A.The permits from some countries.B.Some documents required for keeping with the flight plan.C.The extreme weather conditions.D.The shortage of fuel.9.Which is the right order of continents for Mack Rutherford to get through during his flight? A.Africa, Asia, South America, North America, Europe.B.Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, South America.C.Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, North America.D.Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa.10.What does the underlined word “documents” mean?A.A personal flight ticket that allows a trip.B.An official paper that gives information about something.C.A commercial letter about a business activity.D.A legal license for a pilot.Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students incountries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC.“Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.11.What do we know about math anxiety?A.It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.B.It is most commonly seen among teenagers.C.People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.D.Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.12.What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply?A.Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.B.Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.C.Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.D.Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.13.How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?A.Practice more before you take math exams.B.Learn to understand your feelings.C.Ask cognitive experts for help.D.Take all nervous energy as a challenge.14.Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?A.To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.B.To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.C.To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.D.To show that math definitely isn’t easy.15.For whom is the text written?A.students wishing to learn MathsB.students wishing to take Maths testC.students feeling anxious about MathsD.students wishing to achieve good marks in Maths二、七选五西米亚狂想曲》), which is named after their most famous song, tells the story of the band’s rise to fame — as well as the early death of the band’s lead singer.____17____ One of the biggest reasons is the influence they had on bands that came after them. Their sound was quite unique for their time, as their music was heavily influenced by classical music. Their guitarist, Brian May, was known for his powerful and elegant style of playing. He used a special guitar amplifier (音箱) to record his playing. ____18____But it was their singer, Freddie Mercury, who really made the band stand out. He is known as one of the greatest rock singers in history. His style of singing was clean and melodic (旋律优美的) while still being very powerful.____19____ If you look online, you can find videos of Mercury performing in front of huge crowds — tens of thousands of people, at times. And yet, everyone there felt like Mercury was paying attention to them personally. He really connected with his fans. His confidence and charm have not been matched by any singer since him. When Mercury was performing, he owned the stage.Sadly, Mercury died at the age of 45. ____20____A.The film made a great hit around the world.B.Many singers learned singing skills from Mercury.C.But it was his onstage performances that really moved people.D.They’re one of the most famous and important rock bands in history.E.Why was Queen so important?F.It gave his guitar a very unique sound.G.But he has continued to inspire singers to this day.三、完形填空Yesterday, I went to the bookstore to pick up a present for my mother’s birthday.

It discusses the invention of the printing press.In the mid-15th century, Johannes Gutenberg, a German goldsmith, made a revolutionary change to the world of publishing. He invented the printing press, which drastically altered the way books were produced and distributed. Before the printing press, books were copied by hand, a time-consuming and expensive process. The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案:C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案:C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案:C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案:C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives.

With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks. They believe that with proper education and awareness, we can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.Here is an example of how technology has transformed our daily lives:munication: Before the internet, if you wanted to talk to someone in another country, you would have to wait days for a letter to arrive.

She was so bored that she absent-mindedly picked up a banana on her kitchen table and started running her fork along the outside of the skin. The dark lines that appeared on the skin looked interesting to her, and she watched as the marks gradually got darker. She continued doodling and was soon interested.Chojnicka started making pictures that were more and more complex (复杂的) using the same way—only pressure, no paint—until she drew an Ethiopian coffee pot and cup. Her new hobby was born. Since that first day she knew what she could do by drawing on a banana skin, Chojnicka has been posting her daily paintings online, where she has thousands of fans. “I haven’t missed a day, but I know I can’t keep that up forever,” she says, adding that she finishes her daily picture, takes a photo and then eats the banana because she doesn’t like waste.Her art comes to life by oxidization(氧化). Just like apples, bananas oxidize or turn brown as their cells interact with oxygen in the air. Cells that are damaged brown faster. By varying the time when she applied the marks, Chojnicka discovered that she could create complex pictures.While her banana drawings began as a way to overcome boredom, they have become something bigger. “I saw a chance to put it to something good,” says Chojnicka. With the help of her social media fans, she has collected about $1,600 for FareShare, an organization in the United Kingdom that provides food for people in need.4、What does the underlined wor d “doodling” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Eating.B. Drawing.C. Observing.D. Imagining.5、What does Chojnicka do after finishing her daily creation?A. She colors it with dark paint.B. She sells it to her followers online.C. She throws the oxidized banana away.D. She shares a photo of it on the social media and then eats it.6、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How Chojnicka took up the hobby.B. How banana drawings are possible.C. Why banana drawings are so popular.D. Why Chojnicka began to study fruits.7、What is Chojnicka trying to do with her creations?A. To help the society.B. To climb to the top of her career.C. To teach people how to appreciate art.D. To encourage her followers to achieve their dreams.Great scientific progress has been made in recent years to show that walking is among the simplest and most effective for people to promote (促进) physical health and help prevent diseases. A research has brought more good news.A team of researchers looked at data (数据) on 474,919 people who took part in the UK Biobank study, in which they answered whether the walking speed was slow, average or fast. Researchers also measured factors (因素) including the people’s BMI (体重指数) and body-fat percentage.They found that people who walked fast had longer life expectancies (预期寿命) than the others in spite of their BMI, at 86.7 to 87.8 years for women 85.2 to 86.8 years for men. Those who walked slowly had short expectancies, particularly those who moved slowly and had a BMI of less than 20, even though this was in the healthy range. Women in this group had an average life expectancy of 72.4 years, dropping to 64.8 years for men.The lowest life expectancy was seen in those who were underweight with a slow walking speed, which is in contrast to the assumption: that is often made that fatness creates the greatest risk. In fact, many others have also reported an increased risk of death rate in those who are underweight, although this research is the first to investigate this in relation to walking speed. However, the study is not a cause-and-effect relationship. More research must be done to look at whether the high-risk group could improve their life expectancies by picking up their speed.“While there’re likely to be many factors contributing to the strength of o ur findings, increasing your fitness is one of the best things you can do for your health, ”,said Tom Yates, lead author of the study. “Increasing your walking speed in everyday life is a good way to increase fitness levels, particularly in those who are s low walkers. So get moving fast!”8、How did the researchers carry out their new research?A. By observing many people.B. By doing surveys.C. By analyzing the information.D. By doing experiments.9、What does the author say about the study?A. It needs further research.B. It arrives at a wrong conclusion.C. Its findings are not reasonable.D. Its results are similar to those of past studies.10、What is Yates attempting to do in the last paragraph?A. Make comments.B. Give suggestions.C. Offer explanations.D. Express opinions.11、Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Walk for better health.B. Fast walkers appear to live longer.C. Your BMI determines how long you live.D. Increasing your fitness matters.When you are lying in bed, every single noise-from the creak(嘎吱声) of the bed to a whistle in your partner’s nose-may keep you awake. You may find it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Actually, you may just need more noise. While it may sound strange, it is scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you sleep well. Specially white, pink and Brown noise can mask(掩饰) these sounds, creating a more harmonious background.White noise contains sounds of all frequencies(频率) that humans can hear. But it comes across as a high-pitched buzz(声调高的嗡嗡声). That’s because of the way your ears hear it. Basically, your brain strengthens sounds in higher-pitched frequencies. So while you are hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest frequencies tend to drown(淹没) the lower-pitched ones.The pink noise balanced out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the more its volume is decreased. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise. Think of rain falling on the sidewalk or a gentle wind in the trees.In a study at China’s Peking University, researchers found that when people hear either pink noise or no noise during the sleep, 75 % reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors proved that people had 23 % more restful brain activity at night withpink noise and 45 % more restful sleep during naps.Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound.The color of noise that will help you get more sleep is the one you like the best. While pink and brown noises are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will decide which one gives you the best sleep.12、According to the passage, we know that the white noise ________A. removes low-frequency sounds.B. protects ears from high-pitched sounds.C. makes sounds of all frequencies heard equally.D. contains sounds of all frequencies of people can hear.13、Why does the author mention the study at China’s Peking University?A. To show the need for silence during sleep.B. To prove pink noise’s positive influence on sleep.C. To stress the importance of restful sleep.D. To give the reason for more noise for sleep.14、What’s the main idea o f this passage?A. Some types of noise may help people sleep better.B. Our brain is always kept active.C. Many people have difficulty sleeping well.D. Noise has different colors and frequencies.15、In which section of newspaper may this passage appear?A. Environment.B. Education.C. Science.D. Travel.二、七选五16、How to get motivatedYou must think positively no matter how big a challenge is. If you think positively you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life.

(共20 小题;每小题2 分,满分40 分)ADo you remember the man who contributed a lot to the understanding of British and American English? Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758, is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language. He has been called the “Father of American Scholarship and Education”. His “Blue-Backed Speller”books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much do you know about him beyond that?At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending Yale College. Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didn't survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them.He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law until 1789. Once he started he found the law was not to his liking. Webster did not have much money.In 1793, Alexander Hamilton lent him $1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper. In December, he founded New York 's first daily newspaper, American Minerva, and edited it for four years. For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party, He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages .Noah Webster died on May 28, 1843 and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.21.What's the main idea of Paragraph l?A.Webster's college education.B. Webster's famous dictionary.C. Webster's daily routines.D. Webster's main achievements.22.Which of the following best describes Webster's life at Yale?A.Tiring.B. Tough.C. Smooth.D.

Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. When the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.In the early 17th century, the idea of the "Grand Tour" was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The "Grand Tour" was an important part of young people's education-but only for the rich.In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to "take the waters". They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays at the seaside. Some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries.The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything-plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food-and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour (包办旅行) and modern tourism industry was born.The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China'ssocial development.25.In the early times, the travelers.A.all came from ChinaB. were very young and strongC. had lots of moneyD. traveled by boat26.played the most important role in the tourism development.cationB. MoneyC. TransportationD. People's ideas27.According to the passage , which of the following is right ?A.Money played the most important role in the tourism development .B.In the 20 th century, people preferred traveling by sea to traveling by air.C.China’s tourism did not take off until 1949.D.In 2002 , the tourism industry became an important part of China’s social development.28.Modern tourism industry was bornA.in 1949B. in Roman timesC. in the early 17th centuryD. in the 19th century29.The underlined phrase "take off" means.A. rise into the airB. develop very fastC. remove hats and clothesD. bring down the pricesCTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil---make the rain in ---and also bind(凝固)the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.30.T he most important points of trees to man is.A.they help him to make moneyB. they give him coolC. they give him wood and other thingsD. they help him to stop drought and floods31.In many places forests slowly disappear because.A.many trees have been cut down by manB.new trees are not well looked afterC.man has not paid enough attention to planting treesD.all the above32.L and becomes desert after all trees are cut down because.A.roots of trees break up the soilB.there are too many rainfallsC.strong winds bring a lot of sandD.there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.DDConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”.Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehane told them. “Say‘I think,’‘Think me’.”A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.33.W hat are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A.Learn a new subjectB.Keep in touch with friends.C.Show off their knowledge.D.Express their true feelings.34.How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A.They are less frequently visited.B.They stay open for longer hours.C.They have bigger night crowds.D.They start to serve fast food.35.What are theme cafes expected to do?A.Create more jobs.B.Supply better drinks.C.Save the cafe business.D.Serve the neighborhood.第二节:阅读短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
