高中英语真题：2016-2017学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.For a year and half, kids sent hurtful messages like “You are ugly.” or “Why are you still alive?” to Rebecca Sedwic k. In 2013, Rebecca, then 12, couldn’t stand it anymore. She took her own life near her home in Florida. Soon afterward, Trisha Prabhu read about the story. “I was surprised and heart-broken,” said Trisha, now 15, who is from Naperville, Illinois, “I kn ow that I had to do something to stop this from happening again.”Trisha did some research. Studies show that one fourth to half of all teens in the US have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌). Experts say that if you are ever bullied online, you should tell a trusted adult. Tell the cyberbully to stop, and prevent him or her from contacting you again. Print and save messages to share with the police. This is good advice, agrees Trisha. But these methods all take place after the bullying has already happened. Trisha had a differentidea. Why not teach cyberbullies to stop before they post these messages?Trisha’s research won awards, including a prize in the Google Science Fair. Then, Tresah built the ReThink app (应用软件). It is programmed to recognize words or phrases that could be hurtful. When that happens, different warning messages come out. “Don’t say things that you may regret later!” says one message. Others ask, “Are you sure you want to say this?” and “Are these words really yours?”Now Trisha is working on a version(版本) of ReThink for computers. “I am a big dreamer,” she says. “I want to stop cyberbullying before the hurt is done.”21. What do we know about Rebecca Sedwick?A. She was one of Trisha’s best friends.B. She sent hurtful messages to others.C. She ended her life at the age of 12.D. She went to Florida to study further.22. What is Trisha’s suggestion for stopping cyberbullying?A.Stop talking with the cyberbully.B.Stop the messages before they are sent.C.Turn to your parents or close friends.D.Show the messages to the police at once.23. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. How the ReThink app works.B. Trisha’s research on cyberbullying.C. People’s attitudes to the ReThink app.D. The Google ScienceFair.24. Which of the following can best describe Trisha?A. Honest and careful.B. Strange and impatient.C. Proud and impolite.D. Helpful and clever.2.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push thechrome­plated_contraptions many mile s. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers beganarriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts.“Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?”one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come —those who came bought more. With larger easier­to­handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—the coming of the shopping cart.28. What do the underlined words“chrome­plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Shopping carts.B. Suitcases.C. Private cars.D. Baskets.29. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?A. It was to re duce the burden of his employees’work.B. It was to prove him to be a good inventor.C. It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.D. It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.30. Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.A. attract people to buy things in his marketB. make his market different from the othersC. keep the groceries from being stolenD. encourage people to use his shopping carts31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.B. Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman’s invention.C. Goldman’s invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.D. There will be nothing that can replace Goldman’s invention.4. Getting older is a natural part of life. Changes as you get older are usually gradual. Certain physical changes are common. How fast your body can burn calories slows over time, which means that your body needs less food energy than before. How much and how well you sleep will likely change. Most people start needing reading glasses around forty, and many have some hearing loss later in life. Starting in your fifties, bone aging increase.How you feel as you get older depends on many things, including what health problems run in your family and the choices you make.If your family members have diseases or chronic (慢性的) health problems like high blood pressure, then you may have a greater chance of having those problems yourself. But it doesn’t mean you will definitely have the same problems. Actually, the lifestyle choices you make can help reduce your chances of getting illness that run in your family. And even if you do get a family illness, choosing to be physically active, to eat healthy foods, and to learn how to deal with stress can keep the illness from destroying your abilityto enjoy your golden years.What do you need to do to feel your best as you age? One of the most important things you can do for your health at any age is to be physically active. Physical activity keeps your body strong, and it helps with how you feel. People who stay active are less likely to get depressed.Your mental and emotional health is also important. Protect or improve your emotional health by staying in touch with friends, family, and the community. People who feel connected to others are more likely to feel happy than those who do not.32. When people get older, they will _______.A. go through some physical problemsB. look back to their past oftenC. consume more caloriesD. need some help33. Which of the following can NOT mostly affect old people’s health?A. Their family illness.B. Their income.C. Their eating habits.D. Their relationship with others34. The underlined phrase“golden years” in paragraph 3 refer to a person’s ________.A. futureB. holidaysC. later lifeD. leisure time35. How can old people avoid loneliness according to the text?A. To make new friends.B. To live with their family members.C. To be physically active.D. To have enough social connections.二、未分类(共2题)1.

One day, I was teaching my daughter how to paint. I saw that a lot of her energy went into 41 her brush into the paint, and then into a bowl of water. But then most of the paint that was on the 42 would just disappear in the water. As an 43 mother, I was thinking, “I am trying to teach you how to paint on paper and what are you doing? This is not what you are 44 to do. You have to do this way.”But she is three years old so she is probably not going to 45 doing it the right way. She had so much 46 dipping the brush in the paint and in the water bowl. Pretty much within an hour, most of the paint was all over the room and I just sat there with my hands 47 my head thinking, “Oh my god, this girl is hopeless.” Soon after, however, she shouted, “Mama, when I 48 pink and blue, it turns purple!”I was surprised. 49 I was thinking that she was wasting perfectly good paint and paper, she 50 learned something. What would have been a very theoretical(理论的) experiment turned into a very 51 experiment.I am a designer and work with software like Photoshop and Illustrator. When my daughter sees me work on the 52 , she is always very curious and she wants to work with me on the same thing that I do. She starts to 53 with buttons, and in that process, sometimes lands up 54 me things! There will be many times when she will find 55 new. I will ask her 56 , and she will tell me, “I pressed this, and I pressed this, and then this happened.”One of the things I realized from this is that everyone has a(n) 57 way of learning things. When I was growing up, I 58 to literature very well, so everything that was turned into a story became my way of learning and 59 different concepts. Some kids understand through art, some understand through math and games, and it’s the job of a parent or a teacher to watch and 60 how children learn and try their best to make these experiences educational.41. A. dipping B. throwing C. breaking D.sweeping42. A. plate B. brush C. paper D. bowl43. A. optimistic B. impatient C. energetic D. independent44. A. supposed B. allowed C. intended D. tricked45.

After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, sho ok hands with the jeweler and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife like d the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on ho w to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully r eplied "I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactl y like that pearl".The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newsp apers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people a nswered the advertisement（广告） but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady cam e into his store.

They c ome and visit some of the most famous places in England: Bi g Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.You can see some of the most interesting places in London b y getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the Lon don Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.The River Thames is London’s main waterway. It has shaped the capital’s landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along th e river.The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben, has bec ome one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bel l, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tow er may be London’s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visi t some of the rooms in August and September. And most mor nings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard.About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen’s homes---Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the roo ms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictur es, tables and chairs again.Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, t he best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakf ast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place t o stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England’s many ales (浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and caf es in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.27.

第Ⅰ卷( 共85分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,共40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,共30分.)AMobile phones are in the hands of many kids and teenagers . However ,are they really necessary at school? Here are the pr os and cons(赞成和反对的理由).PROSThey can get in touch when necessary . The main benefit of h aving a phone is that your child can get in touch with you whe never they need to . This allows you to feel they are safe. They can ring the emergency services if necessary. If your chi ld is in immediate danger, they can use their phone to call not only you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit a nd could potentially save your child’s life.Mobile phones can be turned off or on to silent. As long as yo ur child remembers to do this their phone won’t cause a distra ction(分心) in class, but they will have a way to contact you if they nee d to. Giving them a standard rather than a smartphone will als o reduce the risk of distraction.CONSThe latest smartphones can almost double as a computer . It means they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they us ed to. Nowadays, children can not only text and make calls wi th their mobiles, they can also play games, surf the Internet a nd listen to music. All these features could disturb your child’s concentration if they play with them in class.It could interrupt lessons.

Teams of research ers drove the turtles all the way from Massachusetts to Florid a, where they were put back into the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.The turtles’ story began last fall, when a large number of them got stuck near Cape Cod in . These tough turtles had to be n ursed back to good health for about six months before they co uld swim in the sea again.Sea turtles generally live south of the Carolinas in the Atlantic Ocean. But during the summer months, they take a ride on th e Gulf Stream-----a strong ocean current of warm water that runs north along th e east coast. The Gulf Stream brings the turtles plenty of tasty food to eat.When summer turns to fall, sea turtles head south again as th e water turns colder. That’s because sea turtles are cold-blooded. That means they cannot produce their own body hea t. They need the seawater to provide them with heat.Some turtles don’t get to warmer waters fast enough. When th e waters of the northern Atlantic turn cold in the fall, many turtl es can’t stand the cold. They can not move and become unab le to find their way. The turtles can drift only where the wind a nd tides take them.Many of these turtles are washed up on the shore near Cape Cod. Last year , 242turtles were rescued there.Scientists are unsure why so many needed to be helped. The turtles spent the winter getting better at aquariums along the east coast.As the weather grew warmer, 52 turtles were ready to return t o their natural habitat. It was a great success for the turtles an d the people who nursed them back to health.“It’s an exciting day for all these organizations,” said Connie Merigo of the New England Aquarium.“This is what we work f or. These are endangered species. So every turtle that gets b ack out in the wild and has a potential to contribute to the pop ulation is really important.”4.How do the sea turtles come to the northern Atlantic?A. They are carried there by a strong ocean current.B.Some researchers attract them there to do a study .C.Some fishermen bring them there and set them free.D.They are washed up there by a stream of cold water.5.Sea turtles head south when ____.A. they are tiredB. the temperature dropsC. they have had enough foodD. there is no tasty food for them6.Why are some turtles in need of help?A.They are starving.B.They are freezing.C.They are hurt by other animals.D.They are suffering from a disease.7. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragra ph refer to?A. The turtles are shown to the public.B.The turtles are studied by scientists.C.Some turtles are returning to the wild.D.Some turtles will be kept in the aquariumCDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen be cause they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical scho ol. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a bette r surgeon(外科医生). I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组管理资源),or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that cre w members should listen and speak up for a good result, rega rdless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that , an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller ha d us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doct or was flying ; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of t he bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架) down. He was a better pilot--and my boss ---so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in d anger. I put aside my uneasiness and said,“We need to put th e landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I have used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot\surgeon encourage others to sp eak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opp osite, the doctor does not overreact, which might prevent fello w doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the ope rating room,I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes t hey are not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landi ng gear up”.8.What does the author say about doctors in general?A.They are unwilling to take advice.B.They like flying by the mselves.C.They pretend to be good pilots.D.They are quick learne rs of CRM.9.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CR M when____.A.his boss operated on a patientB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. he saved the plane by speaking up10. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means__ _____.A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC.overreacting to difference opinionsD.listening to what fell ow doctors say11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying SafeB.Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC.The Making of a Good pilotD. A Pilot--Turned DoctorDJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to att end a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he w as supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly k icking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wron g with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand . When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.

One by one, the applic ants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on the ir faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitti ng on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewe d?”Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turn ed out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I mad e the right decision to have you as part of our workforce befor e you even stepped in this office. I just know you would be a tr ustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well--deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.12.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?He was bored with his job.
