平遥二中高一年级周练英语试题（3）班级_______ 姓名_________一阅读理解（10 X 6）(一)Today’s post is about signs in English.You will see signs on the road while driving or when walking down a street.Now let's take a closer look at the signs in the picture below, so you can fully understand what they mean in case you come across one of them.Starting with the top row ,we have:Yield sign-----This sign indicates (标示)that you need to slow down, but you may not have to come to a full stop.Crosswalk-----This is a sign which indicates that people have the right to cross the street, so cars have to stop when they see a person waiting next to the sign.Second row:Do not enter----This sign indicates you are not allowed to enter a road at that point.Buckle up!-----There are often signs on roads in the United States reminding people that wearing seat belts is mandatory（强制的）.(Seat belt laws differ depending on what state you re, but all Us States have seat belt law).Third row：Be alert(警惕的)for bears----This is another sign that is used to indicate that you should be alert for wildlife in the area.Playground.----This is the sign used to alert drivers that there is a playground nearby，so it is a good idea to slow down and watch for children.1.Where can you often see the sign？A In a factoryB On a farmC On the roadD In the class.2.What would you do when you see a “yield sign”?A Slow down.B Enter a road at that pointC Come to a full stopD Be alert for wildlife in the area.3.What can be learned from the passage?A All US states have the same laws about seat belts.B All the people in a car should buckle up in the us.C Pedestrian should walk slowly and across work.D Driver should stop the car at the sign of playground.(二)Since smart phones were invented, more and more people have been obsessed(使痴迷) by them. The obsession with phones has spread to running. They are perfectly used in running outside. Smart phones can provide music for you and track your route. But experts warn that it is not good idea to hold your phone in your hand while you go out for a run because it could cause hip(臀部) and shoulderinjuries.The habit could make the body lose balance. The same goes for water bottle,or anything else you might carry in one hand while running.Professional UK running coach, Alexa, asks runners to carry phones in a waist belt instead. “When you hold something in our hands, there are slightly indirect influences on your pace. It influences the balance of muscle(肌肉),affects the weight of the some body parts, and makes you run less fast,” she tells Cosmopolitan UK. “This could be happening every time you train ,week after week, month after month.”And as mobile phones get bigger and heavier, more injuries are likely to occur. People like to always hold their phones in the same hand. It's the force of habit. With one arm heavier, your body will try to compensate for the balance by working certain muscles harder than others.The other risk of running phone-in-hand，of course，is damaging the screen of your phone if you fall. It’s very expensive to change a screen. Some of the latest phones can cost close to ＄300.4.Why do experts think it unsuitable to run with a smart phone in one hand?A.It affects people's hearing.B. It makes people lose eyesight.B.It does harm to parts of people’s bodies.C.It has a bad effect on people’s mental health.5.What does Alexa suggest people do?A.Carry smart phones in the bag.B.Avoid touching smart phone with their hands.C.Watch smart phones when running?D.Carry smart phones in a waist belt.6.What does the underlined phrase “Compensate for”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Meet up withB. Make up for.C. Face up to.D. Come up with.7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Running phone -in- hand is good for people.B.It’s time to warn people not use their phone.C.Changing a phone screen may cost much.D.There are mobile phones falling into pieces every day.（三)People from Britain and Ireland first come to live in Australia in 1788.They brought different dialects of English with them.These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent and vocabulary.More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries.Some came from Britain and Ireland; others came from non- English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.Australian English has also been influenced by American English.During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia.More importantly,American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1955s.Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use.The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G’ day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback.Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland, for example, mate means “friend”, and it is still used in Britain.Some of these words have changed in meaning.Some words have come from Australian original languages，many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like bingo and the kangaroo.Australian spelling comes from British spelling.In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method.In words like colour, favourite, -our is the normal,but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program. on the other hand, ismore common than programme.There are also differences in the definition(定义) of words Australians use in different parts of the country.For example, football means “rugby” in new SouthWales and Queensland, but “Australian rules football”is everywhere else in Australia.In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers , while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victory.8.According to the passage, which of the following is spoken only by Australian?A.MateB. Out backC. ProgramD. Rugby9.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.The same word might have different meanings in different parts of Australia.B.There are different expressions about sports in Australia.C.Australian rules football is the most popular sport in Australia.D.Australians are fond of sports and games.10.What might be the best title for the text?A.The History of Australia.B. The Development of Australian English.C. The Birth of Australian English.D. Different Kinds of English Across the world.二语法填空（10 X 4）A father is very worried about his son, 11 acts like a coward(懦夫).

People believe fairies createdLake Bled.As the story goes, Lake Bled was a beautiful valley that attracted Shepherds by day and fairies by night. The latter came to dance on the valley’s carpet of grass.Unfortunately,the sheep had eaten all the grass. As a result, the fairies called upon the surrounding rivers to flood the valley and fill it with water.Only an island in the middle of the lake remained where the fairies could continue to dance under the stars.Lake Bled’s clear water is surprisingly warm. Although Lake Bled can date back to the Ice Age, the lake is actually fed by mild, warm springs. In summer the water temperature gets up to 26℃(or 78.8°F),making it the perfect place for a swim.In 2016, Slovenia became the first green county in the world.The natural beauty of the lake is kept very well. The Slovenians don't allow cars, buses or motorboats near or on the lake.So visitors need to get across to the island by rowboat. So the water is clean and the atmosphere is still, quiet and delightfully peaceful.A tour on the boat is one uplifting adventure you will never forget. Most visitors can’t resist a tour on one of the lake’s wooden flatbottomed boats. The unique rowing technique has been passed down for generations.In addition to the amazing tour of Lake Beld, you should explore the area’s beautiful Alpine landscape.Slovenia is also blessed with a number of Alpine waterfalls, and visitors will enjoy perfect views there.Winter promises crosscountry skiing, and snowcapped mountains.4.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A Fairies created Lake Beld.B What Lake Beld used to be like.C The shepherds’ sheep damaged the valleyD The valley attracted the fairies and the shepherds.5.What will you probably take if you want to visit Lake Beld?A A busB A carC A rowboatD A motorboat6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “Uplifting” in the passage?A soulstirringB upwardC dangerousD attracted7.What's the main purpose of the passage?A.To present cultures of a foreign country.B. to share personal traveling expenses.C.To offer practical tips on taking adventures.D.

平遥二中高一年级周练英语试题（6）班级_______ 姓名_________一阅读理解（7X5）(一)we often find waste in our school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat, and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they can afford these things. But I didn't agree with them。

Waste can bring a lot of problems.Although China is rich in some resources.We are short of others, for example,fresh water. It's reported that we’ll have no coal or oil to use in 100 years.So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move?Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent this from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom , try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.1.From the passage we know that some students often____________in the school.A eat too muchB don’t work hardC waste thingsD throw rubbish everywhere2.Which of the following is right?A Students never waste things.B Waste can bring no problem.C China is rich in fresh water.D Waste brings problems.3.Which is the best title of the passage?A Stop wasting.B School Life.C Waste in the school.D Rich resources in China.（二）You may ride your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has bee a cultural icon (象征物)．In London, to avoid the traffic jams above ground, people use the “underground”，also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most plicated underground railway systems in the world and the underground is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the underground, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting across London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like what you do in any other cities. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, New York also has traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, the cable car is never caught in traffic jams, and it provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit this city, you'd better rent a car. The city's public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across the town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach Hotel and the city centre.

平遥二中高一年级英语周练试题（7）班级_______ 姓名_________一阅读理解（10 X 5）(一)Gertrude Chandler listened. Another train was passing her house in Putnam, Connecticut. She loved living across the street from the railway station.Sometimes, Gertrude was ill and had to stay home from school. When she was not feeling well, books were her friends. One day in 1899, while she was reading a book, Gertrude, at the age of 9, glanced (瞥) out the window at a train. She could see inside its last car. She saw a small stove (炉子), cups, and a coffee pot. How comfortable it looked! It was like a little home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a boxcar?After high school, Gertrude decided to find a job. She had always loved to write. Soon she was writing for a newspaper in her town. Later, at age twenty­six, she wrote her first real book. With her sister Frances, Gertrude wrote more books. Most of these were for grown­up readers.In 1924, Gertrude wondered again about living in a train car. She decided to write a story called The Boxcar Children. The characters in the book were called the Alden children. They were named Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. Afraid of living with a grandfather they had never met, the Alden children made a home for themselves in an old red boxcar they discovered in the woods. The oldest boy Henry worked in a nearby town to buy food and other things they needed. The brave children made a happy life for themselves and had many adventures (奇遇) together. When Gertrude became a teacher, she read the boxcar book to her pupils.During the next thirty years, Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children. She died in 1979, but her well­loved books live on. The adventures of Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny still bring smiles to the faces of young readers.1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Gertrude's family lived near a train station.B．How Gertrude got the idea of living in a boxcar.C．Why Gertrude's friends were mostly books.D．How Gertrude spent her days off school. 2．What happened to the Alden children?A．They had to support themselves.B．They lived in a boxcar on a train.C．They had no families to live with.D．They had many adventures on a train. 3．What can we learn about Gertrude Chandler?A．She wrote most of her books with Frances' help.B．She dropped out of school at a very young age. C．She is known for her books for children.D．She liked traveling by train.（二）Everglades National Park (大沼泽地国家公园) is located in the state of Florida.It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state.The park is home to several rare and endangered species.It is also the third largest national park in the US, after Death Valley and Yellowstone.Each year, about 1 million tourists visit the park.On a global level, it has been announced as a World Heritage Site.Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem (生态系统) from damage.In 1947, President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced.10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park.Each of these islands is lived by natural wildlife.The Everglades is home to about 15 species that are endangered.In addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park.The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals and 50 reptile species.There are many ways to explore the Everglades.Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail.The Everglades is one of the only places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area.Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds.Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley.Others may want to move slowly through waters where they can see insects and wildlife closely.According to experts, changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife.They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.4．In the first paragraph, we're mainly told that ________.A．Florida is famous for its wetlands B．the US has three important national parks C．Everglades National Park is of great value D．Everglades National Park is popular with visitors5．How does the author describe the richness of wildness in the park?A．By listing figures.B．By personally experiencing.C．By making a comparison.D．By carrying on a study.6．What would be further discussed if the passage is continued?A．What the government has done to protect the park.B．How the park's environment was badly changed.C．What readers can do to help to save the wetlands.D．How important endangered wildlife is to the world.（三）If you have a dream, go for it!My dad talked of Tibet Autonomous Region in China's western part. Tibet was a place I wanted to to see and discover but I was unable to find the right time to go. After a few talks with my dad, we decided to take a pause in our lives for a few weeks in July 2019 to start an amazing adventure.We started our journey on a Saturday morning at the Guangzhou train station in South China. We started the journey admiring the mysterious mountains of South China. The next day it changed quite suddenly to the dry, waterless landscape of central-west China as we passed through shaanxi and Gansu provinces. That evening we arrived in Xining, Qinghai Province,where we got onto the Xinig-Lhasa train.We were welcomed on the train with Tibetan yogurt. The train signs were also written in Tibetan; the beautiful handwriting matched its environment and people.The following afternoon we arrived in Lhasha, one of the highest altitude city in the world. Lhasa is a gem hidden on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(青藏高原)。

平遥二中高一年级周练英语试题（6）班级_______ 姓名_________一阅读理解（7X5）(一)we often find waste in our school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat, and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they can afford these things. But I didn't agree with them。

Waste can bring a lot of problems.Although China is rich in some resources.We are short of others, for example,fresh water. It's reported that we’ll have no coal or oil to use in 100 years.So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move?Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent this from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom , try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.1.From the passage we know that some students often____________in the school.A eat too muchB don’t work hardC waste thingsD throw rubbish everywhere2.Which of the following is right?A Students never waste things.B Waste can bring no problem.C China is rich in fresh water.D Waste brings problems.3.Which is the best title of the passage?A Stop wasting.B School Life.C Waste in the school.D Rich resources in China.（二）You may ride your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (象征物)．In London, to avoid the traffic jams above ground, people use the “underground”，also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway systems in the world and the underground is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the underground, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting across London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like what you do in any other cities. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, New York also has traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, the cable car is never caught in traffic jams, and it provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit this city, you'd better rent a car. The city's public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across the town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach Hotel and the city centre. That's why Angelenos (洛杉矶人) love their private cars more than any other people in the world.4．If you have a chance to visit London and want to avoid the traffic jams, you'd better ________.A．ride a bicycle B．take a taxiC．take the subway D．rent a car5．Which type of transport has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?A．The noisy vehicles. B．Cable cars.C．The subway. D．Yellow cabs.6．People in Los Angeles like to hire private cars because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A．the public transport is terribleB．it is not expensive to take a private carC．the subway covers a small part of the city centreD．people have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus7．The passage mainly tells us ________.A．how big cities in foreign countries develop their transportB．how people in cities avoid traffic jamsC．why London has the oldest and most complicated subway systemsD．why people call New York the Big Apple二完形填空（20X3）With an old wallet in his hand, a beggar was asking for some coins to buy something to eat along the street.

People believe fairies createdLake Bled.As the story goes, Lake Bled was a beautiful valley that attracted Shepherds by day and fairies by night. The latter came to dance on the valley’s carpet of grass.Unfortunately,the sheep had eaten all the grass. As a result, the fairies called upon the surrounding rivers to flood the valley and fill itwith water.Only an island in the middle of the lake remained where the fairies could continue to dance under the stars.Lake Bled’s clear water is surprisingly warm. Although Lake Bled can date back to the Ice Age, the lake is actually fed by mild, warm springs. In summer the water temperature gets up to 26℃(or 78.8°F),making it the perfect place for a swim.In 2016, Slovenia became the first green county in the world.The natural beauty of the lake is kept very well. The Slovenians don't allow cars, buses or motorboats near or on the lake.So visitors need to get across to the island by rowboat. So the water is clean and the atmosphere is still, quiet and delightfully peaceful.A tour on the boat is one uplifting adventure you will never forget. Most visitors can’t resist a tour on one of the lake’s wooden flat-bottomed boats. The unique rowing technique has been passed down for generations.In addition to the amazing tour of Lake Beld, you should explore the area’s beautiful Alpine landscape.Slovenia is also blessed with a number of Alpine waterfalls, and visitors will enjoy perfect views there.Winter promises cross-country skiing, and snow-capped mountains.4.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A Fairies created Lake Beld.B What Lake Beld used to be like.C The shepherds’ sheep damaged the valleyD The valley attracted the fairies and the shepherds.5.What will you probably take if you want to visit Lake Beld?A A busB A carC A rowboatD A motorboat6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “Uplifting” in the passage?A soul-stirringB upwardC dangerousD attracted7.What's the main purpose of the passage?A.To present cultures of a foreign country.B. to share personal traveling expenses.C.To offer practical tips on taking adventures.D.

平遥二中2018-2019学年高一年级10月英语考试题第一部分阅读理解（60分，每小题3分）AWhen we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults，it is still important for us to have friends.True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.1.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Reduce StressB. The Importance of FriendsC. How to Make New FriendsD. The Qualities of Good Friends2.The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. encourageB. educateC. surpriseD. dislike3.We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always________.A. laugh at us when we’re foolishB. tell us other people’s secretsC. support us when we need helpD. share our sadness and interests4.We can learn from the passage that________.A. people should make friends anytimeB. friends are people who allow you to cryC. good friends are always difficult to meetD. a friend helps you in many waysBWhat is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they also make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo it. They should put communication first.nguage is used to ________.A. practice grammar rulesB. express oneselfB. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words6. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.A. can't avoid making mistakesB. often makes mistakesC. never makes mistakesD. always makes mistakes7. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ________.A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English8. If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.A. they will become heroesB. they are against the lawC. they should say sorry to othersD. what they use will become right9. When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.A. speak in Chinese wayB. speak by the rulesC. speak to native speakersD. not be afraid of making mistakesCFrank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. "Oh no!" he thought to himself. " Another day at that office; a boss who shouts at me all the time."As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. "Bigwoods Football Pools(赌博公司)would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds."Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. "Please explain why you're so late," his boss said. "Go and jump in the lake," replied Frank. "I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at."That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly(整洁) dressed in grey suits. "Mr. Smithson," one of them said, "we're from Bigwoods Football Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"10. What do we know about Frank?A. He was a lazy man.B. He was a lucky person.C. He didn't make a lot of money.D. He didn't get on well with his boss.11.
