高中英语真题：2015—2016学年高一上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Once upon a time, in a beautiful mountain inn, there was a greedy old innkeeper who was always thinking about money.One day, a rich man stopped at the inn. The innkeeper looked at the guest's fat money belt and she thought, “Oh, if only all that money could be mine!” The rich man requested the most expensive room at the inn, and he went up to his room to dress for dinner.Now, all around the inn there grew beautiful Japanese ginger plants. Many people say that eating buds（芽；花蕾）of ginger makes a person forgetful. This gave the innkeeper an idea.“This evening for dinner I’ll serve ginger bud tempura (日本菜肴)!” she tho ught. “Then, when the rich man leaves in the morning, he’ll be forgetful and leave his money belt behind!” She ran into the kitchen andstarted cooking up the most delicious ginger bud tempura she had ever made.Soon, the rich man went down the stairs and requested dinner. The innkeeper could hardly contain her delight as she served him dish after dish of ginger buds. “Delicious!” said the rich man. When dinner was finished, he went to bed happy and full of ginger buds.In the morning, the innkeeper saw that the rich man off at the front door. As soon as he was out of sight, she raced up to his room. She looked all over the room for the money belt, but she couldn’t find it. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was the rich man’s bill. He had forgotten to pay it! She ran down the stairs, out the front door, and up the road until she was out of breath, but the rich man was already far, far away.(1) What does the author want us to learn from this story?A. Innkeeper are always thinking about moneyB. Trying to take things that belong to others is foolishC. If you ever stay at a country inn, be careful about your moneyD. Helping others is a virtue(2) After he left the inn, we can infer that _______.A. the rich man was very angry at the innkeeperB. the rich man felt lucky that he didn’t lose his moneyC. the rich man was probably not aware that anything had happenedD. the rich man found some of his money was gone(3) What was the piece of paper on the floor?A. a note from the rich manB. a bill for the room at the innC. a piece of writing paperD. a letter the former guest left(4) What’s the best title of this story?A. the greedy innkeeperB. a rich manC. the Japanese gingerD. a kind heart2.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs); it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’ and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than wepreviously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.(1) What’s the underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 closest in meaning to?A. without a messageB. without a problemC. without introductionD. without delay(2) It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected(3) What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.3. A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放) is to eat less meat. In fact, the study showed that meat consumption(食用量) in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050.Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050. That’s because the global population is expec ted to grow from the present 7 billion to 9 billion. But also, the diets of people inmany developing countries are changing. Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption, especially red meat.Dr. Eric Davidson, the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions. People in developed countries, he said, already eat much more protein than the daily requirement.“In the developed world, there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat. If there is a growing need for meat, that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer(肥料) and production of more livestock manure(家畜粪肥), both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,” he said.Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way. “ If we want to meet the gre atest goal of making harmful climate change under control, we need to improve the efficiency(效能) with which we use fertilizers in agriculture. We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure. And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns(饮食方式). And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world,” he said.Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today, he said climate change would con tinue. “ But that does not mean that we can do nothing for it now, because the sooner we start to take action, the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of beingable to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation(退化),” he said.(1) According to the new study, eating less meat is ________.A. one of the best ways to keep healthyB. an effective way to develop the economyC. the best way to control greenhouse gas emissionsD. a good way to protect the environment(2) In paragraph 4, what does Dr. Eric Davidson mainly talked about?A. The harms of releasing various greenhouse gasesB. The side effects of producing fertilizers and manureC. The effects of growing need for meat on the environmentD. The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat(3) The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the environmentB. climate changeC. greenhouse gasesD. the lifestyle(4) In Dr. Eric Davidson’s opinion, _________.A. it’s important to encourage farmers to use fertilizersB. our future generations will live more comfortablyC. a balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate changeD. it’s completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions4.Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the fut ure Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I wi ll never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”(1) What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman left the restaurant at once.D. The woman comforted him.(2) Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. an interesting best-selling bookB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. his experience as a waiter(3) According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Waiter RuleC. Swanson’s bookD. the Management Rules(4) From the text we can learn that ________.A. one should respect others no matter who they areB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should be nicer to important peopleD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants二、阅读填空(共2题)1.For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping —watching TV and buying things by phone. __36__ In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.__37__ For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kindsof things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, unple like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. __39__ Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.__40__ They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.A. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.B. Teleshopping is popular among people.C. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.D. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.E. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”.F. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.G. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.2.What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know 61 to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more 62 (throw) away as rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways 63 (bring) down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other 64 (company) now also take back some old computers.In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and 65 (recycle) their used products. And 70%of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws 66 (be) that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers 67 (easy) to repair and upgrade (升级).Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford 68 at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. 69 computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish 70 someone elseˈs useful things and cut down waste, too.三、完型填空(共1题)1.Six months before she died, my mother moved into an old people's home.

ATourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.1. More people travel today than in the past because______________.A. people have become interested in travelingB. traveling today is easier the in the pastC. people now have spare money for travelD. great changes have taken place in the world2.

The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait.

However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).4.

One trouble never comes alone.CAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡；打盹) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．8. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch．B. Because it’s hot in summer．C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time．D. Beca use you didn’t have a good sleep last night．9. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．C. If you take naps everyday, you’11 never suffer from heart disease．D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．10. What can we infer from the passage?A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateDOne of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secr etly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much or mak e any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and her husband Stall McKale,65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”12. The underlined p hrase “be in line for” in the first paragraph means __________. .A. getB. be paidC. ask forD. own13. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because _________. .A. the police called herB. he looked very strangeC. he came to the hotel with little luggageD. he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve14. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _________. .A. the passageB. the man’s roomC. Vicki’s bedroomD. the top floor room15. The whole event probably lasted about ________hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.A. 6B. 8C. 11D. 14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。

Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the pa per to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher（卖肉者）, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recog nized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puz zled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!1．When Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, what did she give to the dog?A. some chickenB. half a pound of meatC. a hot dogD a piece of paper with some words on it2．Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite __________.A. rudelyB. proudlyC. friendlyD. angrily3．From its experience, the dog found that __________.A. only the paper with Mrs. Smith’s words on it could bring it meatB. a piece of paper could bring him half a pound of meatC. the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw itD.

Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motor home lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motor home is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motor home. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motor home this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motor home hire service is very seasonal and motor home hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motor homes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motor home hire is provided by Motor home which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motor home hire information. Motor home has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motor home are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motor home for their holidays.8．The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A. take an adventureB. travel to EnglandC. try a new lifestyleD. hire a motor home9．What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Fast.B. Safe.C. Useful.D. Exciting.10．Why should you book a motor home early if you want to book one for this summer?A. Booking early is much cheaper.B. Summer is usually a very busy season.C. You can arrange your time better this way.D. Students usually book them to earn money.11．The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motor home by _________.A. telling us a storyB. giving detailed dataC. comparing it with flyingD. showing the results of a studyDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. Fr om the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style o f clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority —someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume thatthey know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.12．Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.13．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.14．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly15．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent-teen warC. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship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。

2015-2016学年上学期期末高一英语试题（考试时间120分钟，满分120分）第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AEvery month, Julia and her cousins would go to visit their grandparents. They would be excited because their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then they would buy toys or sweets. The grandparents commented that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they planned a special test, in which the children would have to show, over the course of a year, just what they could manage to get with those few coins.Some thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico continued spending it all on sweets. So they give up saving.Monty decided to manage his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting (打赌) it with others. Soon he surprised the whole family. He had accumulated (积聚) lots of money. However, Monty was not very careful, and he got involved in more and more risky deals. A few months later he became penniless after a losing bet. Alex, had a will of iron. He saved the money and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. Even better, with so much money, he managed to buy sweets at a reduced price, so that on the day of the competition he was presented with enough sweets for much more than a year. And even then, he still had enough left over for a toy. He was the clear winner, and other children learned the advantages of knowing how to save and how to wait.There was also Julia. Poor Julia didn’t enjoy the competition, because even though she had had a wonderful secret plan, she had spent her money without giving her plan enough time to work. However, she was so sure that her plan was a good one, that she decided t o carry on with it, and maybe change the ex pressions on her relatives’ faces, who had seemed to be saying “What a poor girl shel is. She couldn’t manage to save anything”.When she was about to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised ev eryone by turning up at the grandparents’ house with a violin and a lot of money. She did it rea lly well.21. Who saved nothing at the end of the first year?A. Ruben, Julia and AlexB. Ruben, Nico and MontyC. Ruben, Monty and JuliaD. Ruben, Nico and Alex22. Why did the grandparents plan a test on the children?A. Because they wanted the children to learn to spend money.B. Because they wanted the children to learn to save money.C. Because they wanted the children to learn to manage money.D. Because they didn’t want the children to buy toys and sweets any more.23. From Monty’s story, the children learned ______________________.A. to save and to wait.B. to buy and to sell thingsC. to set a achievable goal.D. to be careful and self-disciplined24. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means ______________.A. Julia will bring disasters to herself and her family.B. Julia is not good at managing money.C. Julia is too stupid to do anything well.D. Julia has so many secrets that nobody likes her.BAs weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest fruits, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called “agri-tourists.” They improve the economy of rural areas and help farmers increase their profits.School children are walking in a corn field maze. The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it difficult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland. They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Prince George’s County which is also in Maryland. The farm is about 40 kilometers from The White Hou se. Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher. “We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Pierson said.In Loudoun County Virginia, there are farms where grapes are grown for use in making wine. Many of the farms let people visit, and drink the wine that is made there. Bill Hatch owns the Zephania h Farm Vineyard. H e holds wine tastings in his home. “We are doubling the number of visitors to our farm every year. We have an average of 250 people on a weekend,” Hatch said.As more people visit farms, more farmers are adding activities in which visito rs can take part.Malcolm Baldwin owns WeatherLea Farm and Vineyard in Loudoun County. Six years ago, he began letting people be married at his farm. They can also sleep at the farm overnight. Mr. Baldwin says the money he makes from these activities let him keep his small farm operating. “But without the animals, and without the vines, the wedding business wouldn’t be as profitable (有利可图的), because people like to see the vines. They like to see the animals and without which I don’t think this will be a popular place,”Baldwin said.25. We can infer from the first paragraph that people always go for field trips in _______.A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD. Winter26. The underlined word “maze” in the passage is similar to “_______”.A. puzzleB. tripC. houseD. activity27. On Malcolm Baldwin’s farms, visitors can ________.A. taste the wine made in the USAB. raise and hunt animalsC. do wedding businessD. have fun as well as bring him moneyCIt was 8:35 am. My girls and I were rushing through the front door of the school as I yelled, “Hurry up! The bell was about to…”RIIIIIIIING! The girls froze and their eyes widened. My shoulders sagged(下垂). We were too late.We were often late for school last year, and every time we ran breathlessly into the attendance I heard myself making silly excuses to Beth, the long-suffering secretary: our alarm didn’t go off; there was so much traffic; it was my husband’s fault; the dog…I didn’tknow-something about the dog!As time passed by, my lying became a habit, and it raised a red flag for me. Lying - even in the form of “harmless” excuses - means we’re ashamed. Shame is different from guilt. Healthy guilt is fair and helpful. But shame can be dangerous. Nothing ruins the connection between two people more quickly than shame and lies do. Anyone trying to live a healthy and honest life must avoid shame at any cost. I was trying to live a healthy and honest life, but my excuses were keeping me from reaching my goal. So I vowed（发誓）to do something different .The next time we were late, I went to the attendance office. When Beth asked me to fill in a form with the reason for being late, I told the truth. “These days, we are very tired and disorganized,” I wrote. Beth looked down at that form, and th e slowly looked up at me. She gave us a warm and big smile and her blue eyes twinkled. She started laughing. So did my kids and I.We’re all imperfect human beings. We make mistakes. Everyone does make mistakes. However, it’s OK to tell the truth about them. It’s OK to forgive ourselves and promise to try again.28. By writing Paragraph1, the author wants to show that .A. her daughters were not easy to deal withB. she didn’t have an organized lifestyleC. her daughters didn’t like going to schoolD. she lived a lazy life with her daughters29. What do we know about the author from Paragraph2?A. She lived an extremely busy life.B. She li ked complaining about life.C. She liked making fun of other people.D. She liked making excuses for her l ateness.30. We learn that as time went by, the author .A. found that other people liked lying to herB. realized the harm of lying and wanted to changeC. found that shame had a positive effect on her lifeD. realized that she could no longer live a healthy life31. The last paragraph shows when we make a mistake we should .A. blame it on different thingsB. never let others know it is our faultC. never forgive ourselves for making itD. forgive ourselves and try harder next timeDWouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）. Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your dat a directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast. What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,”says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gascalled water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to caus e the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen.Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself.32. According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists _________.A. with some simple practice looking up at the skyB. with the help of the high-speed computersC. through complex (复杂的) instrumentsD. by visiting a weather station33. Meteorologists can make their weather forecast .A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds onlyB. by collecting data from parts of the worldC. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the dataD. by watching the sky34. According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that .A. you have a high-speed computerB. you observe the sky and get your data directlyC. you have more instruments at homeD. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country35. This passage mainly tells us about how to .A. train ourselves as meteorologistsB. be an assistant to a meteorologistC. forecast the weather by ourselvesD. broadcast the weather forecast第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试试卷英语(共150分，共120分钟)第一卷共100分一、听力（30分，每小题1.5分）略二、阅读理解（30分，每小题2分）AYesterday was awful. We had what they’re calling a “weather event” here, and it poured about 14 inches of rain in a day, causing by far the worst flash flooding I’ve seen in the 13 years in the place where we’ve lived. The kids and I ended up being trapped in our car in rapidly rising flood waters. The engine had stopped and couldn’t start again; the kids were terrified and I didn’t know what to do. Then a man in a 4WD pulled up beside us and offered to pull us out of the water.When he got us to higher ground he asked where our home was. We lived about 2km down the road, so he pulled us all the way back to our street before going off to look for more people in trouble.I don’t know this man and I ‘ll probably never see him again, but the kids and I owe him a huge debt of gratefulness that we’ll never be able to repay. Five local people died in this “weather event”, just a few streets away from here, so I’m in no doubt as to how dangerous our situation was. Going through what we went through has only reinforced(强化) the fact that we should always be ready and willing to help someone in need to stay safe and be well, whatever the situations are.21.What can we learn about the “weather event”?A. It was the biggest flood ever in this area.B. It rained for several days.C. Several people lost their lives in the event.D. Nobody was hurt in the event.22.Which statement is NOT TRUE about the man?A. He drove a car of great power.B. He left as soon as he pulled the author’s car out.C. He was willing to help those in trouble.D. He was a brave and selfless person.23. What is the author probably going to do after going through such a “weather event”?A. Be ready to give hands to others.B. Buy a car with a more powerful engine.C. Try hard to search for the man.D. Pay some money for the man’s help.24.Which one is the best title for the passage?A. A Weather EventB. The Kindness of a StrangerC. A Car Accident in FloodD. An Awful DayBDo two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue on our website.LucinaWhen you decide to have another child , you should plan your budget（预算）in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your body, you have to at least spend an extra 5000 yuan per month to hire a body sitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another 1 million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.BcnuTwo is more than twice the work, there’s no guaranteeing（确保）they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as children are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.StevenI always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical, an d financial resources. If I had any more children, I don’t think I could handle it.WilliamUnder the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The “little emperors” have no idea of sharing and giv ing and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.25.What can we learn from the passage?A.Few families are ready for a second child in China.B.It takes a lot of money to raise a second child.C.Steven has never considered having a second child.D.Many kids become selfish because of the one-child policy26.Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?A.LucinaB. BcnuC. StevenD. William27.What does the underlined part “that sort of thing” most probably refer to ?A.T he two kids have different interests.B.I t makes life hard to have two kids.C.P arents can’t treat the two kids equally.D.T he two kids fight with each other.28.Which of the following statements about the four persons is true?A.L ucina plants to send her kids to study abroad.B.B cnu thinks having a second child means more trouble.C.S teven suffers from health problems.D.W illiam has a selfish child.CYou know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars haveno steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.29.Why was the Google’s car stopped by police?A.It ran too fastB. It looks the lawC.It drove too slowly.D. It had no driver.30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The car hasn’t changed a lot over the past 10 yea rs.B.Google has no self-driving car technology.C.Self-driving cars are widely used in the U.S.D.Google self-driving cars haven’t been fined so far.31.What distance can a person drive in year on average?A.About 22,000kmB.About 18,000kmC.About 45,000km.D.About 11,000km.DFor over a month, forest fires in Indonesia spread very quickly out of control as the country suffered its worst drought（干旱）in 50 years. Within days a cloud of some was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous（有毒的）. Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot（烟灰）covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmentalcosts and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In low-land forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.32.When did the forest fires most probably happen?A. In JulyB. In OctoberC. In NovemberD. In December33.Which of the following is true about the forest fires?A.The fires spread to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.B.The fires were put out by the firefighters and volunteers.C.Many animals were left homeless because of the smog.D.4,000people were killed by the forest fires.34. When can we learn from the passage?A.Smog can lead to drought problem.B.Smog can cause forest fires easily.C.Smog has little effect on wildlife.D.Smog is more than an Asian problem.35.What is the similarity between the Indonesia smog and the London smog?A.Both were caused by drought.B.Both caused many deaths.C.Both were poisonous.D.Both spread in several countries.三、七选五(共5小题；每小题2分。

2015-2016高一年级第一学期期末考试试卷—英语卷I第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节, 满分30分）第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AHeading off to college this year？Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：Dress to impress：Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says，“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network.You don't need to dress like you're going to the office，but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence，and look put­together.”Logo mania(品牌狂热症)：Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group，so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It's tempting to load up on logos，especially well­known logos that signify high­end brands.But consider this：college is a time of self­discovery，a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing logos head to toe，“walking advertisement”­style，why not express who you really are?Wear real pants：The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings，yoga pants，and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising.Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls，they are not an appropriate choice for daywear.As a young woman，your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So，get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum：Stay away from sweaters and T­shirts with smiling animals，cartoon characters，or Hello Kitty on them.Sure，kittens might be cute，but they're not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look，and not necessarily in a good way!21．The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.A．impressing professors B．getting on well with classmatesC．creating a professional imag D．dressing appropriately22．The author recommends wearing real pants because ________________.A．leggings and baggy shirts are too common B．yoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortableC．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity D．people like real pants better than the other pants 23．What's the writer's attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A．They make people look lovely. B．They are very fashionable these days.C．They will show you're an animal lover. D．They are not suitable for college­aged students.24．In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A．Business Week. B．Parents.C．Style. D．Travel & Leisure.BA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute<”someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.”Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the dayeventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,”I said. “Okey, here we go.”Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.25. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher26. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.27. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicCGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition(作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.28.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A.It attracted more people to theatres.B.It proved jazz could be serious music.C.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D.It caused a debate among jazz musicians.29.What do we learn from the last paragraph?A.Many of Gershwin’s works were lost.B.The death of Gershwin was widely reported.C.A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D.Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.30.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A.Talented and productive.B.Serious and boring.C.Popular and unhappy.D.Friendly and honest.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
