2010-2023历年北京市五中高一上学期期中考试英语卷第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Many questions ______ at the meeting, but he answered none.A．came upB．raisedC．were risenD．asked2.Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paper books (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.【小题1】 It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．TV programs are a main provider of knowledgeB．cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC．reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself【小题2】What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A．People only need reading, though.B．Reading is still necessary today.C．Reading is more fun than television.D．Watching t elevision doesn’t help reading.【小题3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D．More people like TV programs about famous men.st Sunday, they arrived at the farm _____ they had never paid a visit before.

Moods (心情), say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one’s outlook(way of looking at things) for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Scientists offers a lot of tranquilizers(镇静剂) and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous(无毒的). So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug store―try the following method.Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercises (有氧运动) seem to be the best cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty. Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercises compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercises – running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环), and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.【小题1】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A．when one is in a bad mood, he or she must not work very well.B．the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneselfC．some drugs are more effective than physical exercisesD．taking drugs is at risk of being poisonous【小题2】The phrase "feel out of sorts", as is used in the second paragraph, could be best replaced by ____________.A．put things in orderB．are in a bad moodC．search for tranquilizersD．want a mood-raiser【小题3】 Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage? A．An exercise and its importance are explainedB．A problem is examined and solutions are givenC．Two different views of a problem are presentedD．Recent developments in medicine are described14.In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children.
