宜昌市葛洲坝中学2015-2016学年第一学期高一年级期中考试试卷2015年11月第二部分阅读理解(共两节;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节:AMy first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first yearin school, she struck terror into my heart. And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most annoying classes silent.However, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and got the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.To everyon e’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots , I tried my best to be my natural myself in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she putin my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter,yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them . My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run therisk of making her angry.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.21. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was __________.A. proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded22.

Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B. Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Vicki.24. What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?A. She was dismissed from the school.B. She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.BMark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the chart taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. “ The problems are too big. ” hethoug ht. He turned to the man next to him and said ,“I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “ People should just take care of themselves.”He decided. “That’s eno ugh to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved , her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman sm iled in relief. “ Thanks!”she said. “You have got great timing!”1“ Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he had a quick look at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “ Maybe that’s a good place to start.”25. The underlined word “darted” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.A. walkedB. marchedC. climbedD. rushed26.

It’s a small act to help a person in need.CLike many new graduates, I left university full of hope but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by readingas much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knewit would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decisionto apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly, neither did my family.Finally, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application (申请). After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among thecandidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I receiveda call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and greatly in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes and food as if I weretheir own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in it. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometimes during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the USA a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.28. What do we know about the author?A. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.B. He took pride in making contributions to the world.C. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.D. He had dreamed about being a volunteer since he was in college.29. According to paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author__________.A. felt happy to leave his family and friends.B. discussed his decision with his family.C. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work.D. attended special training to finish difficult tasks.30. The underlined word “accommodation” in paragraph 4 means_________.A. drinking water .B. English teachers.C. living places and foodD. teaching buildings.31. What can we infer from the author’s experiences In Nigeria?A. He was chosen as the best teacher by his students.B. He found some difficulty getting used to the local culture.C. He had learned to communicate in the local language.D. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home.DSleep is just as important as diet and exercise, and not getting enough sleep can lead to obesity, heart trouble and other health problems. Now scientists are adding more wake-up call to that list: lack of sleep damages the brain.People who regularly have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep (one study drew the line at 6.8 hours ) show changes in brain-----actual shrinking(缩小),in some cases--- in area important for memory and problem solving.“We’ve alway s believed that we can take the weekend to catch up and be fine,” says Sigrid Veasey, a researcher in University of Pennsylvania, but that may not be the case. When she stopped mice from sleeping for 3 days, they lost 25%to 30% of the neurons (神经元) important for focused attention---- and these remaining were damaged. What’s more, these brain cells never grew again.Clearly, something important is happening while we sleep, but exactly what sleep does for the brain has been a mystery. That’s why scientists got excited when researchers at the university of Rochester Medical Center recently offered a new theory. While observing the brains of sleeping mice, they discovered a kind of brain-cleaning system thatclears away neural waste, the buildup of which is connected with Alzheimer’s.In another study, young healthy people whose sleep was limited to 7 hours per night for one week showed damaged brain function. Scarier is that with long-lasting short sleep, you may feel fully rested. When study subjects were limited to 4 hours of sleep for 5 days, they reported feeling very tired following the first night but they didn’t get any sleepier after that.What’s more, a 15,000 –person study found that getting an average of less than 5 hours of sleep per night for several years resulted in a decrease in memory performance equal to the brain aging 2 years.Have we persuaded you to turn in early tonight ? Excellent.32. The text is mainly about _________.A. how lack of sleep damages our brain.B. why we feel rested without enough sleep.C. how much sleep we should get every day.D. Why we have trouble falling asleep sometimes.33. Sigrid Veasey’s research shows that ________A. lack of sleep doesn’t affect our attention.B. damaged brain cells can not recover.C. sleeping on weekends can make up for lost sleep.D. most neurons will die if we sleep poorly for 3 days.34. According to paragraph 5, after several days of short sleep people may feel _________.A. tiredB. sleepyC. energeticD. angry35. According to the 15,000-person study, lack of sleep may cause ___________.A. heart troubleB. obesityC. deathD. memory loss第二节: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。

湖北葛洲坝中学15-16学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (乌龟). At the end I said, ― Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?‖Sonny opened his eyes wide, ―Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?‖I was shocked, ―But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!‖―He must have wished that,‖ Sonny said, ―Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.‖―He didn’t have such a wish,‖ I insisted. ―He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.‖Sonny thought a while. ―That’s a lie,‖ he said. ―He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as stea dy as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.‖I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.21. The writer argued with his son because _____.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares.B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish.C. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totally different opinion.D. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.22. Sonny believed that the tortoise _____.A. won the race by his own hard working.B. took a risk (冒险) by agreeing to run a race.C. was not given a fair chance in the race.D. in fact did win the race luckily.23. The writer thinks that his generation (一代人) _____.A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generation.B. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation.C. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generation.D. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation.BKids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell—bottomed blue jeans（喇叭裤）popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants（降落伞裤）all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change？The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain（保持）their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate(模仿) their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today, brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!24. What does the example of bell—bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. Fashion always changes.B. Stars are always influential.C. People have different dressing styles.D. Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.25. What causes the changes of fashions?A. Advertisements change rapidly.B. Popular culture influences people.C. Movie stars are changing over time.D. New films and shows replace the old.26. We can learn from the text that _____ .A. fashion is all about clothes.B. the author has gone out of fashion.C. clothes may separate and distance people.D. people like imitate others’ dressing style.27. What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A. The advantages of staying unique.B. The bad effects of following fashion.C. The good influences of popular styles.D. The importan ce of having one’s own personality.CAlthough American children still spend part of their days reading, they are spending less time doing it for pleasure than years ago, with large gaps(差距) in proficiency(熟练)，according to a recent report.―It raises an alarm,‖ said Vicky Rideout, the lead author of the report. ―We’re witnessing a really large drop in reading among teenagers and the speed of that drop is getting faster and faster.‖The report found that the percentage of nine-year-old children reading for pleasure once or more per week had dropped from 81 percent in 1984 to 76 percent in 2013, based on government studies. About a third of 13-year-olds and almost half of 17-year-olds reported in one study that they read for pleasure less than twice a year.Of those who read or are read to, children often spend on average between 30 minutes and an hour daily with that activity, the report found. Older ch ildren and teenagers tend(倾向于) to read for pleasure for an equally long time each day.Rideout warned that there may be differences in how people come across texts and the included studies may not take into account stories read on line or on social media.The report also found that many young children are struggling with literacy(识字). Only about one-third of fourth grade students are ―proficient‖ in reading and another one-third scored below ―basic‖ in reading skills.Despite the large percentage of children with below-basic reading skills, reading scores among young children have improved since the 1970s, according to one test that measures reading ability.The reading scores among 17-year-olds, however, reminded relatively unchanged since the 1790s.About 46 percent of white children are considered ―proficient‖ in reading, compared with 18 percent of black children and 20 percent of Hispanic kids.Those gap remained relatively unchanged over the past 20 years, according to the report.―To go 20 years with no progress in that area is shameful‖, Rideout said.The report stresses some behaviors that have been tied to children being more frequent readers. Those behaviors include parents setting aside time to read with their children and parents reading themselves to model good behavior.28. The figures in paragraph 3 show that_____.A. fewer children read for pleasure.B. older children are busier than young children.C. teenagers are more interested in online reading.D. more elder children gain pleasure from reading.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the report findings? .A. The reading scores among older children have improved.B. The reading scores among young children haven’t changed.C. The gap between black children and white children has narrowed.D. Black children have lower proficiency in reading than white children.30. What is t he Vicky Rideout’s attitude towards the report findings?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Worried.31. To make children frequent readers, parents should ______.A. improve their reading skills.B. read as many books as possible.C. set a good example to their children.D. spend more time with their children.DThe reason why women love to spend hours in shops while men prefer to be in and out of the high street in minutes can trace back(追溯) to their hunter-gathering past, find scientists.While women spent their days gathering food, often with children, men were hunters who made plans about how to catch and kill their prey (猎物). These two ways of getting food in the past show how we shop in modern times, the study believes.Women would spend hours trying to find the right things, because they had in the past spent ages trying to find the best quality and health-giving food. Men, on the other hand, decided in advance what animal they wanted to kill and then went looking for it. Once it was found and killed, they returned home.Daniel Kruger, professor of the University of Michigan, said the study could be the answer to why there are a lot of collisions when couples go shopping together. He said it could also help couples to avoid fights in the shops if they understood the reasons why each sex had different ways of deciding on the perfect present.―In modern times, women are much more likely than men to know when a specific type of item will go on sale. Women also spend much more time choosi ng the perfect color and texture.‖Professor Kruger said his study was important because if men and women understood each other’s shopping habits they could avoid arguments while shopping.32. What has decided the different shopping habits of men and women?A. Different ways of keeping food in the past.B. Different ways of eating in the past.C. Different ways of buying food in the past.D. Different ways of gathering food in the past.33. In comparison(比较) with men, women were less likely to_____.A. catch the right animal and kill it.B. spend much time on shopping.C. choose the right color and texture.D. know when a specific item was on sale.34. What does the underlined word mean in the fourth paragraph?A. RequestsB. Arguments.C. Concerns.D. Differences.35. According to Kruger, his study can help to _____.A. develop good shopping habits.B. avoid arguments in shopping between men and women.C. give people tips on choosing good gifts.D. make sure people buy safe food for children.第二节：任务型阅读。
