When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.4．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected 5．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex. B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.6．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A．About 6,800 . B．About 3,400C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200.7．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being aske d by a stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty’s table. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what m y New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation. “I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets beside her house, from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. However, she continues to walk into life and notes the vivid life. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story, yet she quickly takes out a notebook and write something fantastic under her point of pen.8．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?A．Strangers joined her. B．Her childhood friends came in.C．A heavy rain ruined the dinner. D．Some people held a party there. 9．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s .A．readers B．partiesC．friends D．stories10．What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?A．They live in big cities. B．They are mostly women.C．They come from real life. D．They are pleasure seekers. 11．Which one do you think is the best title?A．A rainy day party B．Inspiration of lifeC．How to write fiction D．One of the best female writersThe Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared mysteriously.①The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article. Two years later, published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water. Nothing seems r ight. We don’t know where we are.” In the February 1964, the article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were just part of strange events in the area.②Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain the events. One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. Some of the Triangle writers related the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in which the lost Flight 19 aircrews were taken by aliens.③But there are also some explanation relating to nature. For example, laboratory experiments carried out in Australia have proven that bubbles containing natural gas can sink a large ship by decreasing the density(密度) of the water. Because it has been assumed that the eruption of volcanoes(火山)may produce much natural gas, making large areas of bubbles under sea so that water is no longer able to provide enough supporting power for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without any warning.④Violent weather is likely to be another reason. Powerful storms forming in tropical(热带的)waters have caused thousands of deaths and caused billions of dollars in damage. Thesestorms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle. 12．According to the passage, the loss of Flight 19 was first covered .A．in 1950 B．in 1952C．in 1962 D．in 196413．The sentenc e “Persons accepting the Bermuda Triangle as a ‘Death Triangle’ have offered a number of ways to explain it.” should be put in .A．①B．②C．③D．④14．According to paragraph 4, which one is NOT the reason for the disappearance of ships? A．the natural gas B．large areas of bubblesC．the eruption of volcanoes D．the increase of water density 15．What is the passage mainly about?A．The truth behind the disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle.B．The puzzle of the Bermuda Triangle and its explanations.C．Strange accidents that happened in the Bermuda Triangle.D．The exploration of the Bermuda Triangle in history.二、七选五Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 16．One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 17．We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 18．Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 19．The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find i t harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 20．“You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E.That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F.“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G.Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.三、完形填空My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from Chicago to spend a week with my husband in Florida. We were 21 about the trip because we hadn’t seen him for five months, and my daughter 22 her Dad terribly.As usual , the plane was totally 23 . Because we did not get our boarding passes until we 24 at the gate, Kallie and I could not get seats together and were 25 by the aisle (过道).

We traded seats and continued our trip, very much relieved to be together and watch the scenery from Kallie’s window sea.After that, I have been calling my kids to join Boy Scouts because I believe it is the sharing and love that matters.21．A．curious B．anxious C．enthusiastic D．extraordinary 22．A．loved B．considered C．imagined D．missed 23．A．full B．brilliant C．empty D．overweight 24．A．reached B．arrived C．landed D．knocked 25．A．disturbed B．blocked C．separated D．connected 26．A．in case B．even if C．as if D．so that 27．A．prevented B．refused C．agreed D．promised 28．A．panic B．hurry C．rush D．seat 29．A．however B．otherwise C．therefore D．instead 30．A．too B．also C．ever D．even 31．A．worried B．confused C．relaxed D．convinced 32．A．suggested B．offered C．provided D．supplied 33．A．duty B．watch C．board D．spot 34．A．took B．cost C．paid D．spent 35．A．suitable B．available C．probable D．comfortable 36．A．permission B．excuse C．apology D．complaint 37．A．thought B．end C．feeling D．sense 38．A．Suddenly B．Interestingly C．Clearly D．Amazingly 39．A．turned up B．turned around C．turned out D．turned away 40．A．sticking B．keeping C．feeling D．pointing四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent whohas Down syndrome(唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad(啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, a girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.“E m mie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m s ure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical(神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from th e sidelines.In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.24. What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs?A. She refused to give up performing.B. She used to be looked down upon.C. She showed a special talent for cheerleading.D. She felt down for not joining the cheer squad.25. Why did Sydnee post the video online?A. To show Emmie’s dancing skills.B. To inspire others with Emmie’s spirit.C. To help Emmie attract people’s attention.D. To express her gratitude to the cheer squad.26. How did the school react to Emmie’s joining the cheer squad?A. They told her to quit.B. They satisfied her need.C. They made an excuse.D. They offered her support.27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Believe in ourselves.B. Prepare for the worst.C. Keep our dreams alive.D. Youth gives us light.CLucy was rescued from a rural farm in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia(衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors(走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president o f Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. V olunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.28. Who is Lucy?A. A farmer.B. A patient.C. A koala.D. A volunteer.29. What are the tree corridors intended to do?A. To shelter koalas from human threat.B. To test the local natural environment.C. To save koalas suffering from chlamydia.D.

Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ HabitatsDDeep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins(毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with D r Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆).Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques(黏性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s dis ease(老年痴呆) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial st age before realising they’r e at a dead end.”32. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?A. To help people enter deep sleep.B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.C. To research how to remove sticky plaques.D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.33. What may cause dementia according to the text?A. Not enough blood in the brain.B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.34. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Worsening.B. Improvement.C. Beginning.D. Disappearance.35. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?A. It is quite effective.B. It is just imaginary.C. It brings more work.D. It is far from exact.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics of today's culture. So it's necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they're young.When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own things. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag with a luggage bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their things in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.When you've arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.1. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?A. A place covered with forests.B. A place where kids can find various foods they like.C. A place which provides many interesting activities.D. A place with a river and wild animals.2. What does the author advise parents to do while planning a family camping trip?A. Let the children learn by watching.B. Encourage the children to take care of their own things.C. Take more food to meet the children's need.D. Keep the children away from animals.3. When at the campsite, it is necessary to___________.A. allow the children to cookB. give children enough time to playC. make everyone have work to doD. keep the picnic table full of foodCWhen you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, eventhe most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Cut flowers can survive a long trip.B. You should buy flowers from local florists.C. Flowers you buy come from far away places.D. Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.2. Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?A. Dutch companies and the governmentB. airplane and high-tech cooling companiesC. Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickersD. American businessmen and their government3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.A. endB. advantageC. challengeD. difference4. What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?A. He could predict a train was soon to arrive.B. He knew his business would be threatened.C. He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.D. He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.第二节(共5个小题；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。

陕西省西安市长安区第一中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Great Places to Spend New Year’s EveThese destinations around the world have a good reputation for traditionally spending a great New Year’s Eve.DubaiThe famous architecture Burj Khalifa holds the record for its top height worldwide and people gather at the footsteps to welcome a new year with an amazing fireworks show.Not too far away,Burj Plaza is a little quieter and popular with families.Dubai is building a repu-tation as a major food destination,so you may wish to enjoy in restaurants.And if you have shopping in mind,check out Dubai Mall,one of the world’s largest.Rio de JaneiroThe citizens of Rio de Janeiro know how to throw a good celebration.The main gathering at Copacabana Beach,which starts even before dark,traditionally features a variety of musical acts and fireworks.If you want to party in classic Rio style,pay a visit to Jobi Bar,a social custom in the city.Looking for a great view?Hang out to the Vista Chinesa,a small Chinese style tower sitting to provide a fantastic bird view.BangkokBangkok often tops the lists of Asia’s best nightlife cities.Catch an amazing fireworks show at ICONSIAM,a major shopping and entertainment destination along the Chao Phraya River.You may want to continue the celebration at one of Bangkok’s attractive bars such as Sky Beach Bangkok,the city’s highest bar.If you want to escape from crowds,bright lights and noise,get some calming down time at a temple,Wat Pho.Cape TownCape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa.New Year’s Eve fireworks make it more wonderful.If you’re in the mood for a party,Aztecthemed Alcazar will feature10 hours of performances on three stages.If you’re looking for a place to dine,consider Pier, featuring a vegetarian menu.It’s on the Victoria&Alfred Waterfront,which is a great spot to catch the fireworks.So eat something in the morning,anything.I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether,and have just coffee or orange juice.I say,try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy,but if it works for you,do it!I find if I tell myself,“You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night.Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories.And watch your body gain thefat-burning effects.8．The word“leftovers”in Paragraph1probably means__________.A．food remaining after a meal B．things left undoneC．meals made of vegetables D．pizza topped with fruit9．What can we infer from the text?A．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.B．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.C．There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.D．Eating vegetables helps save energy.10．According to the last paragraph,it is important to____________.A．eat something for breakfast B．be careful about what you eat C．heat up food before eating it D．eat calorie-controlled food 11．The text is written mainly for those_____________.A．who go to work early B．who want to lose weightC．who stay up late D．who eat before sleepIn many places,a moonless night sky is no longer totally black.Artificial lighting can give the night a lasting light.This so-called light pollution can affect animals.Even moderate light pollution,a new study finds,can roughly double how long a house sparrow infected with West Nile Virus(WNV)remains at high risk of spreading disease.If bitten by a mosquito,that virus can now spread to other animals,including people.“In the United States,house sparrows are about as widespread as artificial lighting.So they made a useful test species in a new first-of-its-kind study,”says Meredith Kernbach.Her team used these birds to test whether light at night might affect the spread of the West Nile Virus.Kernbach based much of her lab test on real-world conditions.In the study,some house sparrows in the lab spent the night in an area that was dimly(昏暗地)lit.These birds wereslower in fighting off West Nile Virus infections than those that spent the night in full darkness.WNV needs a mosquito to spread from bird to bird,or from bird to human.If a mosquito doesn’t pick up enough viruses from the blood of an infected animal,its new victim might be able to avoid getting sick.House sparrows kept under a dim night light typically had enough viruses in their blood to be a source of virus for at least four days,Kernbach reports.House sparrows in full darkness had enough viruses to spread the disease only for two days.What light does to the birds is only part of the story,points out Davide Dominon,a physiologist at the Nether-lands Institute of Ecology in Wageningen.“Researchers will need to look for effects on the virus itself,”he says.“And,of course,on the mosquitoes.”12．Why are house sparrows chosen as the test species?A．They are sensitive to light.B．Their distribution is wide. C．Mosquitoes like biting them.D．Their immune system is weak. 13．What can be inferred from the study?A．West Nile Virus becomes stronger under light.B．Darkness can help people avoid getting sick.C．It’s better for house sparrows to live in the dark.D．It takes house sparrows longer to kill this virus under light.14．What does Davide Dominon say about the study?A．It needs further study.B．It’s very useful.C．New victims are ignored.D．Other birds should be studied.15．What’s the text mainly about?A．Artificial lighting can affect house sparrows’reproduction.B．Mosquitoes can spread WNV from animals to humans.C．Light pollution lengthens the time of birds’spreading WNV.D．The light pollution may help WNV develop slower.二、七选五How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation?三、完形填空35．A．humble B．different C．unique D．intense五、建议信46．假定你是李华。
