高一第一学期英语期末复习综合练习一、阅读理解题：AGeorge Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin. These are some of the historic American men who appear on United States paper money. But where are the women?"Thousands of women have been ignored in history," Rosie Rios said. From 2009 to 2016, she served as the 43rd treasurer of the United States. Rios wants to see more female representation on U.S. money. That's why she recently helped started a website and an app called Notable Women. The app uses AR, or augmented reality, to put portraits(画像)of 100 historic American women on paper money.Rios cooperated with Google Creative Lab to design the app. It includes portraits of women who have contributed to all fields of American life, from science to government. One of them is Clara Barton, who founded the American Red Cross in 1881. Another is Patsy Takemoto Mink. She became the U.S.'s first Asian-American congresswoman in 1965. When using the Notable Women App, students point a smartphone camera at any U.S. bill. Then they can watch as the portrait on the bill turns into a female history-maker. By tapping on the new portrait, users can read about the related information of the woman."Why wait until the government puts women on money?" Rios says. "Let's be able to put these women on money now." Rios and the Google team designed Notable Women for use in the classroom. Their goal? To encourage discussion about women's role in American history. They hope that students realize that women can have the same great achievements as men.Ugo Iroh, 17, has tried the app. She attends the High School for Environmental Studies in New York City. Ugo thinks school history lessons don't give enough attention to the women who have devoted to America's past. "Hopefully, through this app, students will be able to learn more about various unsung women in U.S. history." Ugo said.1. What is special about the Notable Women App?A. It is based on a study of Google Creative lab.B. It analyses the roles of females in American history.C. It uses AR to put great American female portraits on notes.D. It centers on the development of United States paper money.2. What is the purpose of using the Notable Women App in classroom?A. To apply an advanced software in history class.B. To show women have more achievements than men.C. To inspire students with great women's achievements.D. To teach students how to become famous in the future3. What's Ugo's attitude towards the app?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Curious.D. Negative.BTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet (日常饮食) as young adults.A study, which included nearly 1, 400 high school students, found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers (同龄人) five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may influence their long-term diet quality. On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food, those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake (摄入量) of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned, children should watch not more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and controlling their own TV time.4.What does the underlined word "tempt" probably mean?A. Help.B. Allow.C. Attract.D. Invite.5.What do the heavy TV viewers tend to do according to the text?A. Take in high-calcium food.B. Take in fewer vegetables.C. Eat less junk food.D. Eat more fruits.6.What suggestion does the author give the parents?A. They should behave well in front of their children.B. They should encourage their children to exercise more.C. They should stop the children from watching TV.D. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.7.What's the best title for this text?A. Teenagers' TV Time May Influence Their Diets LaterB. People Should Keep Away from TV to Keep HealthyC. Parents' Own Habits May Influence Children LaterD. Why Do Teenagers Like TVCAs a student, if you intend to gain more life experience during the Spring-Break, traveling is a nice idea. But if you don’t have enough money for a trip, the following suggestions will help.Saving money in your daily life is probably the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you will have more choices about where to go and how to get there.Plan your trip early and write it down. Keep the written plan at hand and stick to it during the tour, or you may not have enough money to cover everything.Buy tickets and make other preparations early as it can mean greater security and savings. Don’t forget to pack such necessary things as necessary clothing, some common medicines and even some snacks (零食), as those things in the traveling places may be much more expensive than usual.Do some research in advance. Travel books and some websites will help you to choose where to go. Those hot places are both expensive and crowded, so I advise you to go to less-known ones, such as small towns with interesting customs and unique sights.Travel with several reliable students with interest in the same places, and you can share costs and experiences with each other. And you can work in the traveling places together to earn money to support your trip and be safer as well.8. The underlined words “fatten your wallet” probably mean .A. making your wallet largerB. putting some fat in your walletC. avoiding your wallet’ being stolenD. saving some money9. During your trip, .A. you had better not change your careful plan unless necessary.B. you should avoid eating snacksC. you might as well go to those popular scenic spotsD. you must take your laptop along with you10. Which of the following can help you save money?A. Traveling alone.B. Reading travel books or visiting related websites in advance.C. Buying medicines in a local drugstore of the traveling place.D. Buying tickets one day before traveling.11. The purpose of this passage is .A. to encourage the students to have a tripB. to introduce the advantages of travellingC. to give some advice on travellingD. to make advertisements on some scenic spotsDSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn towith problems, such as problems with learning or school matters, such as bullying (欺凌弱小者).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful period in your life. You're like a sponge (海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helpingyou put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place---to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive (敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.12．What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? ________A．How to get a long well with teachers.B．How to make the time in the classroom more pleasant.C．How important to have a good relationship with teachers.D．How much the students are expected to get along with teachers.13．What does "turn to" in the third paragraph really mean? ________A．look for B．take hold of C．get help from D．think about 14．According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? ______A．If you find it comfortable to ask questions, you can build a good relationship with teachers.B．If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can get more help and learn more knowledge.C．If you are getting on well with your teachers, you have more problems than others.D．If you do your best on tests, you can build a good relationship with teachers. 15．Which is Not True on teachers and their work according to the passage? ______ A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B．Having a bad relationship with teachers does some harm to your studies.C．There are some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher. D．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.二、完形填空：I have a close childhood friend.

It not only broadens our horizons but also helps usunderstand different cultures and perspectives. In today’s fast-pacedworld, where technology is constantly evolving, the importance of reading cannot be overstated.One of the key benefits of reading is that it improves our vocabulary and language skills. By reading, we encounter new words and expressions, which help us expand our language proficiency. This, in turn, enables us tocommunicate more effectively in both spoken and written forms.Another benefit of reading is that it fosters creativity. When we readstories or fictional works, our imaginations are sparked, and we are able to envision scenarios and characters that are beyond our daily experiences.This creativity can then be translated into other areas of our lives, such as art, music, or even problem-solving.Moreover, reading is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. It provides us with a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life andallows us to escape into a different world. Whether it’s a thriller, aromance, or a self-help book, reading can be a source of comfort andsolace.Lastly, reading is a lifelong learning process. It never ends, and thereis always something new to learn from every book we pick up. It’s a journey that takes us from childhood to adulthood and beyond, constantly enriching our minds and hearts.Questions:1.What is one of the key benefits of reading mentioned in the passage? (4points)Answer: It improves our vocabulary and language skills.2.How does reading foster creativity? (4 points)Answer: By sparking our imaginations and enabling us to envisionscenarios and characters beyond our daily experiences.3.What is the role of reading in relaxation and unwinding? (4 points)Answer: It provides a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and allows us to escape into a different world.4.According to the passage, what is reading described as? (4 points)Answer: A lifelong learning process.5.Why is the importance of reading emphasized in today’s fast-paced world?(4 points)Answer: Because it broadens our horizons and helps us understanddifferent cultures and perspectives, which is important in an ever-changing world.五、作文（30分）V. Writing (30 points)Direction: Write an English essay based on the following topic. Your essay should be no less than 120 words.Topic: The Importance of Reading in High SchoolExample:Reading plays a crucial role in our academic and personal development,especially during high school. It not only enhances our vocabulary andgrammar skills but also broadens our horizons and cultivates our critical thinking.Firstly, reading regularly exposes us to a vast array of words and phrases, which helps us expand our vocabulary. This, in turn, improves our writing and speaking abilities, making us more confident in expressing ourselves.Additionally, reading different types of texts, such as novels, essays,and newspapers, familiarizes us with various grammatical structures and sentence patterns.Moreover, reading allows us to gain insights into different cultures,perspectives, and ideas. It breaks down barriers of ignorance andintroduces us to a more inclusive and understanding world. This cultural awareness is essential in today’s interconnected world.Finally, reading fosters critical thinking. As we read, we are challenged to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information. This process helps usdevelop logical reasoning skills, which are crucial for success in both academic and professional fields.In conclusion, the importance of reading in high school cannot beoverstated. It is a fundamental skill that prepares us for the challengesof the future. Therefore, I strongly believe that every high school student should make reading a priority in their daily routine.。

人教版高一英语第一学期期末试卷第一部分阅读理解(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)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。

ABook towns started with Hay-on-Wye in the UK: now there are communities around the world that celebrate the written word.Biblo Toyen, OsloThis children-only library is aimed at 10 to 15 year olds. Adults are not allowed in and must wait outside for their children to come out. The library is run along normal lines, with library Cards for borrowing books, and is particularly well suited to children after the school day is over.After consulting young readers in focus groups, the designers have put a truck with a functional kitchen in the back (the library also runs activities including cookery courses) and a reading sofa. Books are arranged by themes, which means no book has a fixed location. At night, a machine flies around the library to scan and update the books' positions.Bellprat, Catalonia, SpainIn many ways, this small village is the ideal book town. It is in a beautiful rural setting in Catalonia's Anoia region, yet only 90km from Barcelona. It has an attractive centre and its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to book-loving visitors, Bellprat is also the first book town in Catalonia.During the town's main festival on the first weekend in June-several village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand book shops, as there are not enough stalls(摊位) in the market. The books on sale are mainly in the Catalan language, however As well as promoting the village, the book town label is used for good causes: at a recent festival, there was an activity in which books could be exchanged in return for donations to a food bank. Other book based events range from meetings and readings to events run by independent publishers.This is very much a community run book town From simple beginnings in 2008. it now offers visitors more than 20.000 books for sale This is impressive, given that the population of the village is under 100.1. what may people see if they are in the library in Biblo Toyen?A.

They'd spent months cutting and piling up the firewood, valued at about $10,000. However, they had no intention of selling it- they were giving it away to people in need. "No one feels cold in our neighborhood this holiday season," McDaniel wrote in his post, offering to deliver firewood, free of charge, to neighbors who needed a hand heating their homes.Cutting firewood is their favorite activity. By late summer, the McDaniels' house was surrounded by a big wall of firewood. Once the firewood started piling up high, people would pull up daily and ask to buy some. "We politely told them none of it was for sale and they'd look at us like we were crazy," Shane McDaniel said, adding that he was surprised at how many people burned firewood as their only source of heat.Since early November, McDaniel and his sons have brought the firewood to hundreds of people who don't have money to heat their homes, and there was still more firewood to be delivered. Single mom Katelyn Ticer, who lived in a mobile home in Lake Stevens with her 3-year- old daughter, was excited to get a delivery from the McDaniels, as a wood-burning stove was her only source of heat." Getting that much firewood moved me to tears," Ticer said. "I couldn't be more thankful."Once the McDaniels' generosity was widely known to people, others in the Lake Stevens community started joining in, Local food bank volunteers helped sort through the firewood requests and make delivery lists. A company offered free chimney cleaning. There are so many donation offers, and people show up day or night to drop off truckloads of firewood to add to the McDaniels' pile.4 .Why did MeDaniel make the post on Facebook?A. To call on more people to join him in helping others.B. TO share his experience of cutting firewood.C. To offer the firewood he cut down for free.D. To sell the firewood he gathered.5. What made people surprised at the MeDaniels?A. They cut down so much firewood.B. They didn't want to sell the firewood.C. They put the firewood near their house.D. They needed so much firewood to heat their house.6. What do we know about Katelyn Ticer?A. She suffered from lack of firewood.B. She knew the McDaniels for a long time.C. She helped with the delivery of firewood.D. She made the news widely known to people.7. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?A. East or west, home is best.B. Many hands make light work.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.CA green field runs along the northern border of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, next to one of its runways. This is the workplace of some most unusual employees, who spend their time eating as much as they want.These seasonal workers are farm animals- goats, sheep and one donkey(驴) who help manage the landscape of one of America's busiest airports by eating overgrown vegetation. Goats, in particular, are increasingly used to eat grass at parks in urban areas. But at an airport, the hungry herd(畜群) serves a different purpose. They clear long grasses and invasive species. Their eating helps make habitats less attractive to wild animals that can disturb airport operations, like, a raccoon(浣熊) on a runway, or unfortunate birds caught in a flight path. "Tall grass provides harbor for small mammals(哺乳动物) that are then food for bigger creatures like eagles. We suggest short grass," says a biologist working with O'Hare. The donkey has an extra job: He protects his colleagues from wolves, which see the field as a site for their buffet.The airport chooses a new group of grass-eaters every year. This latest group belongs to Andrew Tokarz, who raised them on his farm in Lemont, Illinois. They arrived in June 2019 and stayed for three months. During this time, they ate their way across 11.5 acres of land, which was separated from the dangerous runway by a fence(栅栏), and the road, by a river and electric fencing.One might think the noise of planes might frighten these gentle employees. Tokarz's animals stopped when they first heard the noise, but they quickly realized the source wasn't threatening. When the third one came by, they didn't even raise their heads. "Actually they acclimated within five minutes," he says.As the herd settles, the area becomes less welcoming to dangerous wildlife which is for their good, as they wouldn't get into dangerous zones. An airport is a terrible place for wildlife like birds. But it's a perfect place for the grass-eaters.8. Where does the herd of farm animals work?A. Around a small river.B. In an area close to a runway.C. Around n park near the airport.D. On a farm near the airport.9 Why does O’Hare International Airport employ the herd?A. To scare away wild animals.B. To free birds caught in flight paths.C. To beautify the local environment.D. To improve the safety of the airport.10. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "acclimated”in Paragraph 47A. Fitted in.B. Took off:C. Got along.D. Looked out.11. What can we infer from the text?A The donkey is there only for protection.B.No animals are welcome near the airport.C. Wolves may threaten the lives of the grass eaters.D. Tokarz's animals returned home in 2020.DRecently 1 read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a book by George Orwell set in a totalitarian state where even the language people use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead people use phrases such as "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions. As 1 first read this, I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary.However, the more I think about it, the more I realize it's happening in its own way.I type messages to my friends and alongside each are the emojis(表情符号). I often use them to emphasize something because they express my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, with our overuse of emojis, if we are losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary.English has the largest vocabulary in the world, but who's to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using abbreviations like LOL (laugh out loud) or BRB (be right back) instead of saying the full phrases. So does this mean our vocabulary will decrease? Is this classic case of the older generations saying, "Things are no longer what they used to be. We didn't use emojis to show our emotions"?Yet when you look back over time, the power of images has always been there. Even in prehistoric times people used images to communicate, and what's even more unbelievable is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Images, whether they are cave paintings or emojis, allow us to express a message that's not restrictive but rather universal.12. What did the author think of the vocabulary used by people in the novel at first?A. Colorful.B. Interesting.C. Unbelievable.D. Mysterious.13. Why does the author mention his typing messages to friends?A. To show the emoji has been a form of communication.B. To explain people tend to overuse emojis today.C. To show his close relationship with friends.D. To explain why he prefers emojis to words.14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. English will become a shorter language in the future.B. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book on totalitarian by George Orwell.C. Abbreviations may become more popular in daily communication.D. The older generations are not likely to accept new things.15. What can be inferred about images from the last paragraph?A. They are very powerful in expressing a message.B. They will replace language in communication.C. They were only an ancient way to communicate.D. They restrict our language and communication.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

She also saw that teenagers seemed more comfortable communicating through texting. These two realizations pushed Lublin to create Crisis Text Line, an orgnnization that focuses on crisis intervention through text messaging."Texting turns out to be incredibly effective for counsceling in a crisis, ”Lublin told Glamour magazine.“It cuts right to the chase. You don't get hyperventilating (呼吸急促) and crying. You just get facts. ”When someone texts Crisis Text Line, the counselors, who are trained volunteers, use listening, collaborative problem-solving, and referrals to best help the texter overcome their crisis. “The Crisis Text Line has blown the roof o ff a lot of long-held assumptions about teens,”said Anthony Pisani, a member of Crisis Text Line's clinical advisory board. He continued:“The number of kids reaching out is unpreccdented. And I think the data could be revolutionary in terms of understandin g adolescents in crisis and what it takes to help them.”In fact, the data. has already helped to uncover new trends. For example, the organization found that 30 percent of texts are about depression and suicide. They also found that two-thirds of crises occur at night between 8 pm and 4 am. Although the counselors don't exactly know what causes these trends, they hope the data, which is made publicly available on CrisisTrends. org, can be used by researchers to better understand what might trigger them. They also hope that making this data public will better reduce the shame surrounding mental health support. Since starting in August 2013, Crisis Text Line has had over 5. 5 million conversations with people seeking immediatemental health help. That number is only expected to grow as more people become comfortable enough to reach out for help when they are experiencing a mental health crisis.“People are texting us from the office, from the lunch table,” Lublin said. “They're texting us right when something is happening. So we're getting them at the moment we can be most impactful- -and we're telling them they' re not alone.Lublin commented, "I've got to admit that it feel pretty good to save lives. ”( )8. What's the main purpose of Crisis Text Line?A.To collect data about teenager health issues.B. To offer teenagers mental health support.C. To train teens to provide texting services.D. To smooth parent- teen communication.( )9. What does the underlined phrase“cuts right to the chase" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Involves a lot of work.B.Lends someone a hand.C. Communicates feelings.D. Goes directly to the point.( )10. Why is the data made public?A. To explore causes and solutions.B. To promote the organization.C. To call attention to mental health.D. To know what adolescents care about.( )11. What does Lublin think of Crisis Text Line?A. It gives her a sense of achievement.B. It helps her overcome her mental problems.C.

The number of its users is likely to drop.DAn ancient plant, amaranth (苋菜) is drawing attention throughout the world and connecting indigenous people (土著人) to their history. It has become a billion-dollar food and cosmetic product since the 1970s. The ancient grain can be found in greater numbers of grocery stores in the US and Mexico, and increasingly in the Asia Pacific and Europe.“This is a plant that could feed the world,”Beata Tsosie-Pena, a coordinator of the environmental health and justice program at nonprofit Tewa Women United, told The Guardian. Amaranth is actually a grain, like buckwheat, and native to Mesoamerica, a region including southern Mexico and many countries in Central America. Its seed is a highly nutritious source of protein, vitamins and minerals. It's proved to be an attractive product for health-conscious shoppers.A single amaranth plant produces hundreds of seeds and can be grown in a wide variety of climates and countries from India, China, Southeast Asia to West Africa and the Caribbean. It's this resilience that allowed the plant to survive over the centuries, even when the Spanish arrived in the Americas in the 16th century and outlawed amaranth. Growing amaranth has also provided a degreeof economic independence for indigenous farmers in Guatemala and the US, according to The Guardian. Even after facing a near-extinction event in Guatemala when state forces targeted the Maya people and burned their fields, farmers preserved their amaranth seeds by hiding them in jars in the field and under their floorboards.“What we want is for the whole world to produce their own food,”Maria Aurelia Xitumul, a member of agricultural community Qachuu Aloom, told The Guardian. "For the seeds, distance doesn't exist. Borders don't exist. ”Most rcently, Xitumul said that during the pandemic, people with their own gardens, especially in locked down communities, felt secure knowing they had control over their food supply, thanks to amaranth.“Amaranth has completely changed the lives of famili es in our communities, not only economically, but spiritually ," added Xitumul.( )12. What do we knowAbout amaranth?A. It was found In Mesoamerica ln the 1970s.B. It mainly grows in the Americas and Europe.C. It contains abundant vitamins and minerals.D. It's one of the most expensive foods in the world.( )13.What made it possible for amaranth to survive over the century.A.Its ability to produce many seeds.B. Its function of offering economic independence.C. Its attraction for health-conscious consumers.D. Its ability to adjust to different environments.( )14. What does Xitumul point out?A. Plants should be grown in line with local conditions.B. Countries should work together to promote the seeds.C. Amaranth gave people a sense of security during lockdown.D. Amaranth helped lift many families out of poverty.( )15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What is the origin of amaranth?B. An ancient plant has amazing benefitsC. Amaranth is boming increasingly popular.D.How can we apply a magical plant to our daily life?第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下而短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThis idea is mean (刻薄的). Children need to have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give them time to do thi ngs they wouldn’t otherwise (不然) get to do. In my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends during the summer vacation. And it might seem long to some people, but time flies when you’re having fun.—Ruby MullinI have good memories (记忆) of my own long summer holidays, and I love the chance to have days out with my son. I think many parents, especially single parents like me, have made job choices based on being able to have time off for the summer —and now we’ve done that, we don’t want to see things changed.—Viki Bantock Having worked at a school that had a four-week summer break instead of the usual six, I’d say longer holidays are better. Teachers are under so much pressure (压力) now to get good results; most put in lots of hours in the evening and at weekends and feel very tired by the end of term. There is a dip (退步) in learning after a six-week holiday, but it only takes a few weeks for students to get back up to speed.—Marek KaminskiA shorter summer holiday would be much better. The six-week break seems a thing for another age, when mothers didn’t work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a six-week holiday, great, I’d love it —but in the real world that isn’t possible. Instead, I end up spending around £600 on childcare for each week when I’m working.—Nachelle Crowther1. What does Ruby Mullin usually do during summer holidays?A. She does part-time jobs.B. She visits relatives and friends.C. She goes travelling around her country.D. She prepares for the new school year.2. What do we know about Marek Kaminski?A. He doesn’t teach school any more.B. His son doesn’t do well in school.C. He usually works overtime.D. His family is very helpful.3. Who holds a different idea from the other three people?A. Ruby Mullin.B. Viki Bantock.C. Marek Kaminski.D. Nachelle Crowther.BA cafe owner has been delivering free soup for one year to a stranger going through chemotherapy (化疗). He serves up much more than meals — he has spent the last year serving up kindness to a stranger who loved his cooking.Juan Carlos Beristain runs JC’s Cafe in Cary, Illinois. In addition to making coffee, the 49-year-old man is famous for serving up many delicious soups. Noah Dionesotes is just one of the local people who adore Beristain’s soups. Being in poor health, Dionesotes has been depending on the soups as a valuable source of nutrition (营养) throughout his chemotherapy treatments.Beristain lea rned of Dionesotes’s health problems sometime last year after he saw a neighbor’s Facebook post about the man’s condition —and his love for the cafe’s soups. Beristain filled up a few cups of fresh soup at once and brought them to Dionesotes’s house.Dionesotes was surprised to find Beristain on his doorstep with food in hand — and he was even more shocked when Beristain told him not to worry about payment.Ever since that first meeting, Beristain has been delivering free soup to Dionesotes’s house as often as four times per week for the last year.“I really feel it when other people are in pain,” Beristain said. “I felt that I could help him at least by delivering the soup that he likes, with the nutrition that is going to help him.”Though Dionesotes’s fr iends are now trying to raise money for his next round of chemotherapy treatments, he says that Beristain’s kindness has been a very helpful kind of treatment for his illness.“I think he’s a great human,” said Dionesotes.4. What does the underlined word “adore” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Try.B. Love.C. Make.D. Bring.5. How did Beristain know about Dionesotes’s health problems?A. By talking with him in JC’s Cafe.B.

He visited him in the hospital.B. He delivered soup to his home.C. He made special meals for him.D. He raised money for his treatments.7. Which of the following can best describe Beristain?A. Warm-hearted and caring.B. Risk-loving and brave.C. Strong-minded and honest.D. Hard-working and careful.CWhen Rukhsana Khan came in and sat down, I honestly thought that it was just going to be another story and wasn’t g oing to be very good. But when she started talking, telling the story called The Roses In My Carpet, I felt like I had just entered a whole new world. A world where there was only Rukhsana, me and lots of knowledge. I was learning so many new things.When the story was done, she began to talk about how she came to write the book. She talked about Pakistan and Afghanistan. I listened closely. It was so surprising. As she was talking, I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it would be like to live in a refugee (难民) camp. I put myself in the little girl’s place. In my mind, I was going to get firewood for my family. I was walking home with the firewood, when a bomb (炸弹) dropped, right over my head. At that time, I had to open my eyes. I was too frightened (害怕的). The little girl would have been frightened, too. It would be terrible to only have bread, water, and tea for food. I think that a life without electricity would be terrible. No electricity meant cold winters, hot summers, no TV, no computers, no lights and no fridges. It would be so bad. Besides, I am a book lover. In the refugee camp, they don’t even have books. It is hard to imagine. We have so many libraries filled with books. We are so lucky. We live in strong, brick houses. We have whole refrigerators full of food. We have tons of games.I think the speech was very moving. I loved it. From now on, I will make sure that I appreciate (感激) what I have, a lot more than before.8. How did the author feel before Rukhsana Khan began her story?A. She was a bit nervous about it.B.

What do we know about the author?A. She loves reading.B. She comes from a rich family.C. She spends a lot of time playing games.D. She shares some similarities with the little girl.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a good book.B. To ask readers to lead a simple life.C. To show her love for Rukhsana Khan.D. To show how a speech influenced her.DAfter watching the 2002 Winter Olympic Games on TV at 3 years old, Little Nathan Chen became interested in winter sports. Nathan wanted to play ice hockey (冰上曲棍球), but his mom advised him to try figure skating (花样滑冰) first which she said was safer. After practicing a few times, Nathan fell in love with it.Today, Nathan is influenced by all the athletes (运动员) he meets. From the difficulties the athletes have faced and how they dealt with them, Nathan learns to work on dealing with his own difficulties as well. He describes all the athletes he trains with as role models for himself.Nathan won gold at the 2017 ISU Grand Prix Final and 2017 Four Continents Championships, and silver at the 2016 ISU Grand Prix Final. Nathan has also broken a record, becoming the youngest man to win a medal (奖牌) at the 2017 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.However, this journey has not come without hard times. Nathan suffered a bad injury during the 2016 season and it took him quite a long time to be able to compete again. At the beginning of the 2018 Olympics, Nathan was expected to win gold but got 5th place in the end. Nathan later described the race as “just me being on the ice and enjoying myself ”, free from all the pressures. What matters the most isn’t the results, but the great memories you get from the experience and the joy of being able to do something you love.This fall, Nathan will be attending Yale University and work on managing his time as a student and athlete.

2020-2021学年高一英语人教版（2019）必修第一册期末复习题精选之读后续写一、读后续写1．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was not uncommon to see a person like me in an amusement park, who held purses, cellphones and sunglasses while others enjoyed themselves riding roller coasters.I admitted their courage, but refused to challenge myself.One day when we were at the Happy Amusement Park in Seattle, my friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster. But the click, click, click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me scared. The stop at the top, before falling with people's screams, seemed terrible.My friends were still trying to persuade me, and I was saying no as usual, when I suddenly saw a familiar face, one I had never seen in real life. It was Raine, a popular young tennis star at the top of her game, who was my heroine. I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.She was making her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Loudest Scream. I was running fast because I didn't want to miss the chance to meet her face to face, but I was also a bit nervous. So I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.Several minutes later, she got out from the exit, laughing and talking with her brother. I focused on her walking toward me. She walked past. It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought, but I had to take the chance. I called her name, not very confidently, but more like a question, “Raine?” She turned around. Our eyes actually met. “Would you mind signing for me?” I asked, handing the pen and paper toward her. Her hand wrote over the paper and she said, “Y ou are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together.”Paragraph 1:Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _________________________Paragraph 2:My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream?”___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _________________________【答案】One possible version:Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I felt extremely excited that I was the only fan who got the priceless opportunity. I admired Raine very much and was eager to stay with her a little longer. On the other hand, I was scared of riding a roller coaster. The thought of having a try nearly pushed me to the verge of collapse. However, I must take the chance and it didn’t take much time to make my final decision. Mustering my courage, I nodded firmly and went to the roller coaster with her.My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream?” “Yes,”I answered without hesitation. She was rather surprised, with her mouth open and eyes widened. After all, she had spent years trying to persuade me but in vain. Fears of heights and moving too fast seemed unimportant to me now. Although I screamed during the entire time like a girl being chased by a hungry wolf, spending a good time with my idol made all of it worthwhile and my fear was miraculously overcome. And since then, I have lived in a world where I am a bit braver.【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在游乐场的一次经历。

On Tuesday 29 MayBI’m a travel lover. I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting.To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired and start to worry ab out things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination（目的地）, I forget all my tiredness and worries.Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences.24. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. how to have a comfortable life.B. how to prepare for a trip.C. why travel is so exciting.D. why some people are tired of traveling.25. Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?A. Because he doesn’t like reading on the train.B. Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.C. Because he is too busy working to read.D. Because h e is so tired that he can’t read.26. People who travel to new places will ________.①learn new things ②become happier③get more experiences ④have more chances to readA. ①②③④B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③27. The author develops the passage mainly by________.A. giving explanationsB. giving examplesC. listing numbersD. following the natural time orderCLONDON—Dogs produce more facial expressions when humans are looking at them, according to a new research from the University of Portsmouth.Scientists at the University’s Dog Cognition Centre are the first to find clear evidence that dogs move their faces in direct response to human attention. Dogs don’t respond with more facial expressions upon seeing tasty food, suggesting that dogs produce facial expressions to communicate and not just because they are excited.Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski led the study. She said, “We can now be confident that the production of facial expressions made by dogs is dependent on the attention state of their audience and is not just a result of dogs being excited. In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food treats did not have the same effect.Dr Kaminski said it’s possible dogs’ facial expressions have changed as part of the process of becoming domesticated. “Domestic dogs have a unique history—they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs’ ability to communicate with us,” she said.“We knew domestic dogs paid attention to how attentive a human is—ina previous study we found, for example, that dogs stole food more often when the human’s eyes were closed or they had their back turned. In another study, we found dogs follow the gaze of a human if the human first establishes eye contact with the dog, so the dog knows the gaze-shift is directed at them,” Dr. Kaminski said, “This study moves forward what we understand about dog cognition. We now know dogs make more facial expressions when the human is paying attention.”It is impossible yet to say whether dog’s behaviour in this and other studies is evidence that dogs have flexible understanding of another individual’s way of thinking—that they truly underst and another individual’s mental state---or if their behaviour is inborn or even a learned response to seeing the face or eyes of another individual.28. In what situation will dogs produce more expressions?A. When seeing tasty food.B. When interacting with humans.C. When they are excited.D. When they observe something.29. What does the underlined word “domesticated” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Evolved.B. Strong.C. House-trained.D. Dependent.30. Which of the following has not been proved by researchers?A. Dogs know exactly about human’s mental state.B. Dogs can recognize eye contact with humans.C. Dogs can pay attention to how attentive a human is.D. Dogs make more expressions in response to human’s attention.31. Where are you expected to read this passage?A. In a fashion magazine.B. In a scientific report.C. In a brochure.D. In a newspaper.DA 15-year-old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire.

加油！有志者事竟成答卷时应注意事项１、拿到试卷，要认真仔细的先填好自己的考生信息。

２、拿到试卷不要提笔就写，先大致的浏览一遍，有多少大题，每个大题里有几个小题，有什么题型，哪些容易，哪些难，做到心里有底；３、审题，每个题目都要多读几遍，不仅要读大题，还要读小题，不放过每一个字，遇到暂时弄不懂题意的题目，手指点读，多读几遍题目，就能理解题意了；容易混乱的地方也应该多读几遍，比如从小到大，从左到右这样的题；４、每个题目做完了以后，把自己的手从试卷上完全移开，好好的看看有没有被自己的手臂挡住而遗漏的题；试卷第１页和第２页上下衔接的地方一定要注意，仔细看看有没有遗漏的小题；５、中途遇到真的解决不了的难题，注意安排好时间，先把后面会做的做完，再来重新读题，结合平时课堂上所学的知识，解答难题；一定要镇定，不能因此慌了手脚，影响下面的答题；６、卷面要清洁，字迹要清工整，非常重要；７、做完的试卷要检查，这样可以发现刚才可能留下的错误或是可以检查是否有漏题，检查的时候，用手指点读题目，不要管自己的答案，重新分析题意，所有计算题重新计算，判断题重新判断，填空题重新填空，之后把检查的结果与先前做的结果进行对比分析。
