高一英语期末试题答题时间：120分钟满分：150分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AVolunteer Opportunities for Young AdultsWhen you give back——to others less fortunate or in need of special help, you will definitely feel good about yourself and the world. If you have a wish to be personally connected to the charity or organization where you are giving your time and money, here are some volunteer opportunities.★WatsiFounded by Chase Adams after a bus ride in Costa Rica in 2011, Wastsi is a digitally focused heath nonprofit for young adults.Watsi offers real-time tracking of where money donated goes, from basic medical services to surgeries.★Pencils of PromisePencils of Promise was founded by Adam Braun in October 2008. It is an on-profit organization that puts all of its time and funds into education in the developing world. Pencils of Promise encourages their donors to connect with others to increase donation. All the donation will be used to build schools, provide supplies and train teachers in poor and under educated countries.★Project LinusEverywhere you see young men and women knitting and crocheting(钩). They are using those skills to make blankets for children in need. Founded in 1995, in Denver, Colorado, Project Linus is an non-profit organization. Its goal is to provide warmth and safety through blankets to children across the nation in need.The organization is now led by Carol Babbit with the headquarters in Normal, IL.★Girls on the RunGirls on the Run was set up in1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a team of 13 brave girls. Program founder Molly Barker struggled in her own life, and came to realize that a running program gave her “respect for my body and all t he things it can do”. Girls on the Run is a volunteer opportunity for teaching young girls about the benefits of running.1.Which organization has existed for about 9 years?A.Watsi.B.Pencils of Promise.C.Project Linus.D.Girls on the Run.2.How does Pencils of Promise help the world?A.It sells pencils to poor students.B.It focuses on children's health.C.It provides social media for poor kids.D.It helps increase educational opportunities.3.Which is right about Project Linus?A.It was set up by Carol Babbit.B.Its goal is to teach children how to knit.C.It supplies blankets to kids in need.D.It's an all-female organization.4.Who set up Girls on the Run?A.Chase Adams.B.Molly Barker.C.Carol BabbitD.Adam BraunBFor centuries, people have moved to and lived in cities. These urban centres are places to find work, friends and fun. It's no surprise that they continue to grow as more and more people flood in hoping to make the most of the chances they offer but adding to the congestion and pollution that already exist.According to a report by the United Nations, 54 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050,this figure will have increased to around 70 percent. But as more and morepeople move from the countryside to the city to get better chances, they can end up with nowhere to live.This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro, where the people from the countryside can't rent or buy a home,and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land. These are called shanty towns— poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don't have any electricity or water supply.These are, of course, not the future cities we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good, safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the housing conditions, the chances for education and employment and so on.Something urban planners are looking at now is th e creation of“smart cities”. According to John Rossant, founder and chairman of the non-profit organisation New Cities Foundation, technology is the way forward. He thinks that it's generally accepted that “cloud computing, ubiquitous Internet, robust 5G networks etc, will change our cities”. He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanization (城市化). It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is working and may improve how a city functions.5.Why will a larger population be living in a city by 2050?A.Because the government encourages the development of cities.B.Because more people will have more children.C.Because the countryside will disappear.D.Because more people will move into the city to get more good opportunities6.What can we know about shanty towns?A.They have good quality housing built for poor people.B.They are filled with people living under poverty.C.They are built by the government.D.They are developed and modern.7.What name is given to a city that uses technology to help it function properly?A.Traditional cities.B.Future cities.C.Smart cities.D.Developing citiesC.Breathing dirty air can cost someone's life span(寿命) months一even years, a new study finds.Worldwide, air pollution lowers average life spans by a year. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.Air pollution has been linked to many health problems.Most earlier studies has looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. But now an environmental scientist, Joshua Apte, is going even further. He works at the University of Texas, Austin. He together with his team is looking at life expectancy, hoping to make the threat easier to understand.PM 2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM 2. 5 can cause health problems and cut months,if not years, from the average lifespan. This analysis show show pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.The World Health Organization(WHO) recommends limiting PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms(微克) per cubic (立方)meter of air. Apte's group used data to try to find how this low level would help people. But meeting the WHO standard won't get rid of health damage from dirty air.That's because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter pollution still causes huge risks.Reducing air pollution could increase life expectancy. The scientists also compared how other threats shorten life spans across the globe. These risk factors included smoking and cancer.These results show that in poor countries, cleaning up dirty air could greatly increase life spans. It could have as big an effect as cleaning up drinking water, or curing lung cancer. However, in wealthier countries air pollution shortens life expectancy by less than half a year. All forms of cancer, in fact, shorten the average life expectancy by more than 3.5 years.“Knowing this can really help people, or policymakers, decide where to spend their money,” says Kirk Smith.8.What is Joshua Apte's team trying to do?A.Let people understand air pollution better.B.Know how small air pollutants are.C.Study the life expectancy of different people.D.Study many different healthy problems.9.What will happen if one country limits PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms per cube meters?A.Its people will live a healthy life.B.Its air is very clean.C.It will get a prize from WHO.D.It still has pollution risks.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Cancer is the leading killer in all kinds of diseases.B.It's very hard to clean up dirty air in a short time.C.The study will help different countries take different policies.D.Reducing air pollution can increase all people's lifespans much.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Effect of Cancer Is Worse than Dirty AirB.Air Pollution Is Shortening Lives WorldwideC.Many Factors Are Affecting People's Healthernments Are Trying to Make Life Span LongDOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave––and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas––even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In on e game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet––and stopped him cold.”Boldness––a willingness to extend your self to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are gre ater than you ever dreamed.12. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. Fear prevented him from trying.B. He lacked mighty forces.C.He faced huge risks.D. Failure blocked his way to success.13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D.Learn to make creative decisions.14. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His spiritual force.D. His real fear.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To recommend people to develop more abilities.B.To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To encourage people to be courageous第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5 分）AA good book about space can inspire an interest in exploring the universe. If you’re hoping for a holiday gift for your kids, you’re in the right place.Margaret and the MoonAge range:4-8In Margaret and the Moon, Dean Robbins outlines（概述）the pioneering software engineer’s life, from the backyard of her childhood home, where she put forward a million questions about the night sky, to the hallways of NASA, where she led a team from MIT to develop the onboard flight software that would land the first men on the moon.I am Neil ArmstrongAge range：5-9In I am Neil Armstrong, the bestselling author Brad Meltzer shows kids how Neil Armstrong made it all the way to the moon. Meltzer begins the story with young Armstrong determining to climb to the top of a silver maple tree after falling and getting back up. He continued this spirit throughout his career .Look Inside SpaceAge range：3 and upFor parents of young kids, Usbome’s prizewinning Look Inside Space is a must to share the history and wild technology of space exploration with starry-eyed kids. It explores the history of human spaceflight and the basics of stars and planets. It’s enjoyable to all space fans, but is especially good for pre-school and kindergarten-age kids.Max Goes to the Space StationAge range: All agesJeffrey Bennett’s tale about a dog called Max and his adventures to the International Space Station isn’t only an accurate look at what life in space is like. The book was actually sent into space and joined the station's library in 2014 as part of the Story Time from Space project. It enables readers to learn all sorts of fun facts about space.1. What’s the text mainly intended to introduce?A. How to find holiday gifts for your kids.B. Some kids’ space books for the holidays.C. How to inspire kids’ interest in the universe.D. Some books about the theories of the universe.2. Which book can inspire a sense of determination in readers?A. Max Goes to the Space Station.B. Margaret and the Moon.C. I am Neil Armstrong.D. Look Inside Space.3. In which aspect is Max Goes to the Space Station different from the other three books?A. It has experienced moon travel.B. It is suitable for kids of all ages.C. It is a biography of an astronaut.D. It has won a prize as a bestseller.BTake a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to face even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.4. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.5. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.A. why high school students should get more sleepB. what’s life like for high school students at presentC. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD. how to lighten high school students’ homework load6. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.A. arrivesB. reducesC. increasesD. changes7. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Puzzled.D. Surprised.CPeople with an impulsive(冲动的) personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related t o a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances（物质）.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity（肥胖）.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addi ctive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our meas ure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies（治疗，疗法）used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would natur ally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”8. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. taking alcohol or drugsB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. less healthy weight9. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By giving definitions and examples.D. By presenting questions and answers.10. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Impulsive personality linked to food additionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Dopamine release caused by food addictionD. Food addiction contributing to obesityDWhile flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you 're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitting costs, you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks, such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.When you live alone, you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you 're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.12. What's the main reason for most people to share a flat?A. Ensuring safety.B. Saving money.C. Sharing housework.D. Reducing loneliness.13. What does the author say about a serious flatmate?A. He likes a peaceful life.B. He has excellent social manners.C. He keeps everything in the room tidy.D. He often turns away unexpected guests.14.How does the author express his opinions?A. By describing the process.B. By stating an argument.C. By making comparisons.D. By analyzing the outcome.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Buying a Flat or Sharing One?B. The Reasons for Sharing a FlatC. How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate?D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

高一英语期末考试试题第一部分:选择题部分（共三节，满分70分）第一节：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AGalaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute（聋哑）school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.1. How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?A. They met each other by chance.B. They were introduced to each other.C. They once studied at the same university.D. They both served in a special needs school.2. How did Galaxy probably communicate with Kazrim before she took him home?A. Writing words on paper.B. Using the sign language.C. Judging from his expression.D. Speaking her native language.3. What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?A. They fell in love at the first sight.B. They cheated each other to win love.C. They mistook each other for being mutes.D. They ignored the anger of Galaxy’s parents.BBaby girls make their way to dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show consistent differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged nine months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink t eddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.Dr Brenda Todd said: “Child ren of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newbor n baby.”4. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .A. baby boys are much more activeB. baby girls like bright colors moreC. parents have an effect on their viewsD. there may be a biological difference5.Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with according to the study.A. a ballB. a teddyC. a carD. a doll6.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?A.Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at al l．B.Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls．C.Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys．D.The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is．7.What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Adults bring about babies’ preference on purpose.B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.CUncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptableFor the first time, airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior. Their names will remain onthe blacklist for one or two years, according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday. The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for traveling by air and so place their own interests before everything else, including safety, has long been overdue (迟到的，延迟的).There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved. However, some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket, and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(嘱咐).They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (相互给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.Observing rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety. No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason. Of course, airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers. Yet, even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided, there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (服从集体).8. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.B. At no time should flights be delayed, whatever the reasons.C. Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers’ service at any moment.D. If an airline passenger is blacklisted, he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.9.The underlined word “observing” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.A. abolishingB. violatingC. settingD. obeying10. According Paragraph 4, the author’s attitude towards some passengers is ________.A. TolerateB. CuriousC. CriticalD. Neutral11.

英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分）AHilton English Language CenterInformation for New StudentsClass time: 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m.-12:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m.The Language Center is open Monday to F r iday. Each class has one afternoon free per week. O n the first day, go to the lecture hall to check your timetable.Self-access (自习): The language laboratory (Room 1110) is open Monday to Friday from 3:15 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for all full- t ime students.Y ou can learn how to use computers for language games. There are tapes for students to borrow to practice their English. Go in and ask the teacher to show you. If you p l an to take public examinations, there are listening comprehension tapes for you to practice with. There are other kinds of exercises on the computers. Ask your class teacher for a list of past exam essays. Students can borrow tapes to take home but they must be returned after two days.Attendance (出勤): All students are expected to attend classes as it is required. Students who do not attend classes will be reported to OSS. Eighty percent attendance is required for students to receive their certificates (证书) when they finish their courses.Books: If students are given course books, the books are their responsibility. If a book is lost, the student will be expected to pay for it. If students wish to buy books, there is a bookshop in the college specializing in English books (Room 3520).21.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. No teachers are in the language lab.B.

Room 3520C. the classroomD. Room 111023.Where can students buy books?A. Room 1110.B. Room 3520.C. The language lab.D. OSS.BWhen we do some t hing, we all have our own plans. Some people are born planners.I can’t claim (宣称) to be one of that kind of people. Most of the time, I try to at least expect what might go wrong. I have taken to making lists and, although I’m not yet achieving perfection, I usually manage to achieve goals. But there are times when even the best plans do not succeed. All that is left then is to smile and to make or do something using whatever is found.Hanukkah (光明节) came early this year, perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving to allow us to prepare well. During the first night of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candles were nowhere to be found in the entire Dallas area where we lived. Birthday candles wouldn’t work! The tall long thin candle fell in small drops.“What would our ancestors do?” I thought.“What shall I do now? That’s where inge n uity comes from. Don’t be nervous and worried. Never let missing candles spoil a family celebration.”Later what we did find was a bag of tea lights.The long, silver bread tray became the base for our tea lights. The younger ones were wide-eyed and happy as Grandpa lit the first tea light and all recited the blessing. We sat at the dining table, happy to be together and the food was plentiful.No matter how imperfect it is, the fact that families gather to share a special event, an event that has held meaning for so many generations of families, is the meaning itself and forms the important part of the observance (仪式). What we need to remember, and to carry with us, is the knowledge that togetherness is much better than all other concerns.24.How does the author feel about perfect planning according to Paragraph 1?A. It should be an aim when we are doing things.B. It is well worth considering carefully.C. It often takes too much great effort.D. It plays an important part in our daily life.25.From the passage, what can we infer?A. We should know well about our limited weaknesses.B. We should make the most of the available resources.C. We should get well prepared for the coming festival.D. We should feel confident about our own abilities.26.What does the underlined word “ingenuity” in the second paragraph mean?A. courage.B. curiosity.C. custom.D. creativity.27.What does the author think highly of?A. Personal abilities.B. Personal experience.C. Family reunion.D. Cultural difference.CActor Warwick Davis realized he was shorter than other people when he was eight years old. He suddenly noticed all his schoolmates were twice his size. It was then that the effect of having dwarfism hit him for the first time.Now aged 48, Davis says, “I have very fond memories of school but I realized I had to become a little bit louder and funnier so I wouldn’t get left out of conversations. I became quite the performer, so being short was my training in acting.”It worked. Director George Lucas cast young Warwick as the Ewok Wicket in Return of the Jedi. The actor has gone on to star in many TV shows and films, including playing Professor F l itwick in the Harry Potter films.Warwick’s dwarfism means he is 1.07 meters tall, while the average UK adult male height is 1.78 meters. Most types of dwarfism are caused by a genetic disorder that stops some of the body’s building blocks working properly.Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”. He says, “If I had my life all over again, I would c h oose the same job and be the same height. I have enjoyed every minute. At school I played rugby and football and tried long jump and high jump. I wasn’t very good at them but I always had a go. I defeated everyone at chin- ups (引体向上) because I had a low body weight combined with a strong upper body from climbing up to the top cupboards to reach the biscuit boxes at home.”Warwick is supporting Jeans for Genes Day, a charity raising public concern for millions of children born with genetic disorders in the U.K. He says, “Even if you can only give a tiny amount of money, it will make such a difference to the children.”28. Why did Warwick Davis decide to become a little bit louder and funnier?A. It was his training in his acting.B. He didn’t want to be ignored by his classmates.C. The effect of having dwarfism influenced him strongly.D. The genetic disorder prevented his body from working properly.29. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?A. Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”.B. Davis turns his short body to his advantage at chin- u ps.C. Davis is not fond of rugby and football, long jump and high jump.D. Davis doesn’t want to choose the same job if he can live his life again.30. Warwick Davis can be best descr i bed as “”.A. pleasedB. generousC. sensitiveD. confident31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Strong Upper BodyB. Dwarfism Caused by Genetic DisorderC. Height Is Not My LimitationD. More Money, Bigger DifferenceDLocated at Europe’s biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill- seekers the choice of three attractive worlds --- Space, Sky, or S n ow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter- long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster- l ike experience.While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the techno logy behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (无线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the rider’s progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!32. What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?A. They can swim with dolphins.B. They can explore the outer space.C. They can experience VR water slide.D. They can swap out sets all day long.33. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.D.The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.34. What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?A. The painkillers.B. The fixed speed.C. A sensor fixed in important areas.D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.35. What is the author ’s attitude towards the VR water slide?A. objectiveB. subjectiveC. opposedD. indifferent 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
