But things changed one day. That day Lisa was sent to sit beside another girl called Alice. They soon laughed happily together.The next day, when Lily went to Lisa’s house, she saw Lisa and Alice laughing and playing happily together. Lisa was playing so happily then that she didn’t even notice Lily when she arrived. Lily felt very depressed and went home. She thought Lisa had changed and was afraid she’d leave her. She didn’t want to lose her best friend. Thinking she might lose her one day, she couldn’t help crying.Just then, Lily’s mother came back. Seeing she was crying, her mother asked her why. Lily told her everything. After hearing what she said, her mother couldn’t help laughing. She said, “Don’t be sad. You should be happy.” Lily was confused. She didn’t understand why she should be happy. Her mother explained, “Now, Lisa has a new friend. And you’re friends with Lisa. It means that you have a new friend, too. Just make friends with Alice, too.”Hearing that, Lily stopped feeling sad. She liked the idea of having one more friend. So the next day, when Lily saw Lisa and Alice playing in the classroom, she happily went to them and joined them. The three quickly became good friends.Never feel sad if your friend has a new friend.

To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．B. To make Amharic widely used in the world．C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．DDo you want to be an animal photographer and work for a zoo? That sounds like a fantastic job. Mike is an animal photographer and he works for San Diego Zoo. Now let’s learn more about what Mike thinks of the job. We can also learn how to get such a job. What’s cool about this jobWe learn something new every day! There are so many exciting things going on. We have a chance to get close to cute animals. Of course we must make sure they won’t hurt us. Every day is different. There’s always something new to find out.Job challengesThe animals don’t always cooperate when we want to take pictures. Some critters are very shy and hide. They only feel comfortable around their keepers. Often, the photographer has to be very patient in order to get a good shot. We also have to plan our work carefully so that we can have the best light for our pictures, and that’s something that always changes throughout the day.How to get a job like thisIf you want to get a job like this, remember these ideas. Practice taking pictures and shooting videos, and do a lot of reading. Study literature, journalism, visual arts, and science. Art, business, and computer classes also come in handy.

He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock.When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted.4.

高一英语上学期期中试题第一部分:选择题部分（共三节，满分70分）第一节：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)APrague is cracking! My sister was right. It really is one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions, which has beautiful old buildings. So far, my favorite place is Prague Castle. I think it is the largest ancient castle in the world. Prague also has a lot of cultural events, like the World Dance Festival. I went to a ballet (芭蕾舞剧) just last night.-----------LilyI’ve come to Shanghai at the right time. Summer has begun, but it is not too hot yet. Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival. It was exciting! If you come to Shanghai, you should see the Bund---a street with very nice shops, nightclubs, and hotels. There are many tourists there. It has some wonderful buildings from the 1930s.I went on a night cruise(乘船游览) of the Huangpu River last night. I met some great people on the boat, mostly foreigners, like me.------------StanBuenos Aires is a fun city, but six days is not enough time for a visit! I’m staying near the mile-long shopping street called Calle Florida. It is a great place to meet people and watch dancers perform that tango. Buenos Aires is the birthplaceof the tango.I also spent a day in the suburb of Tigre. It’s about 30 km from the capital, and you can get there quickly by train. However, I chose to take a boat on the canals(运河) of the Paraná Delta.-----------Melinda1. What can be learned according to Lily?A . Prague is a modern city.B.Prague Castle has beautiful scenery.C.Prague is most famous for its ballet.D.Prague is worth visiting.2.Both Stan and Melinda ___________.A.took a boat tripB. saw a lot of old buildingsC. went to a festivalD. travelled by train3. The passage is probably taken out of _________.A.a history bookB. a news reportC. a travel websiteD. a personal diaryBI began learning playing the violin when nine, and the next year I began studying under Natalie Ghent, who was my teacher until I left high school.Once, Mrs. Ghent held a concert(音乐会)for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn'tthink of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist's music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.Mrs. Ghent came to comfort(安慰) me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to perform(表演) at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best tickets as my birthday present.Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before, and was impressed by the size as well. I don't remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been attracted by his performance, but I don't remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is that Mrs. Ghent spoke to me in a low voice from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or had made some other kinds of mistakes.When I teach students to play the violin now, I tell my students who are in dread of making mistakes that if they aren't going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music.4. When the concert was over, the writer cried because_________.A. the concert was such a big successB. she found she didn't have a gift for musicC. no one tried to help her during her performanceD. she felt sad about her performance5. Mrs. Ghent decided to take the writer to that concert mainly because____________ .A. she wanted to comfort herB. she wanted to teach her an important lessonC. she wanted to let her go to a perfect concertD. she wanted to let her know she really cared about her6. By going to the concert, the writer has most probably learnt that__________.A. there are no really great performersB. Mischa Elman is not a good performerC. even the best players make mistakesD. Mischa Elman's performance can't impress others7. What does the underlined part “in dread of ”in the last paragraph mean?A. afraid of.B.careful with.C. angry at.D. interested in.CMany people believe eating healthily is expensive—and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Pubic Health，shows this isn't the truth.Most of the Australian family food budget(预算)is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults（成年人） get at least 35% of their energy f rom junk foods and drinks. As a result, two­thirds of adults (63%) and one­quarter of children are overweight.We used the Australian Health Survey 2011－2013 and the suggestions of theAustralian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets(饮食) for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high and low­socioeconomic (社会经济地位低的)areas in Brisbane，and compared the diet prices with family incomes（收入）.In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods(14%)，and sugary drinks(4%)．In the low­socioeconomic area，a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets，but could buy a healthy diet for $560.93 every two weeks. In the high­socioeconomic area，these numbers are $661.92 and $580.01.Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high­socioeconomic areas. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive，but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.Present diets cost more than healthy diets，so it is surely not the price that helps to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.8. What did the researchers find?A．Most Australian kids have fat problems.B．Half Australians live on junk foods.C．Most Australians eat unhealthily.D．Australians have a preference for sweet foods.9.

The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken, the task is possible.Unlike many other hotel building plans, no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it. The Lodge does not have the same location（位置） but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May, till September. Those wishing to stayin one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane. Each guest stayingat the Lodge is charged 3% tax（税） on the protection of the natural resources, butis given the chance to see whales and bears. And since these are the main attractionsof the area and of the Lodge, the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native(本土的) Gitga'at people. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge knows that the native tribe （部落）is the owners of the land, so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe's people. They, in turn, teach the newcomers about the local culture.The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manageto minimize their environmental damage to win the approval（批准）of the local government where they set up their business. These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals. Realizing how destructive tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.12. From the passage, we know that the King Pacific Lodge______________.A. follows other hotels’ building plansB. is less popular among touristsC. is far away from an important wildernessD. has been created after careful consideration13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The King Pacific Lodge is in an area without any trees.B.The King Pacific Lodge can be moved from place to place.C.

According to the passage, the tourist industry__________.A. will always do harm to the environmentB. cares little about the importance of environmentally friendly tourismC. can do less damage to the environmentD. always has a disagreement with the local government第二节：阅读填空（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。

Huck supports the way that most people eat crabs.DThe “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular everyyear with the increase of people's income. After all, it can cost a large amount4of money to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be.Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want tointeract (交流） with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presenceof the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming amongst or with humans is not necessarilya high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact; theydo seem curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see humans as “entertainment” and that the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them. It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves (幼崽） present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures and what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins”industry worldwide.12. What makes “swim-with-dolphins” tourism popular?A. The local government's encouragement.B. The improvement of people's living standard.C. The increasing number of tourists.D. The high profits of the industry.13. Why are young dolphins more likely to swim with humans?A. They do this out of curiosity.B. They like humans better.C. They are less sensitive.D. They prefer new things by nature.Paragraph industry do in dolphins”“swimsuggest the What 14. does author the -with-4?A. Make people know the hidden threat to dolphins.B. Strictly limit the expansion of the industry.C. Avoid interaction with young dolphins.D. Expose dolphins to tourists only in the daytime.515. What is the author's attitude toward “swim-with-dolphins”?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Supportive.D. Optimistic.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正确选项。

He was inspired (激发) by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a mall nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research.Sara VolzSara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae (藻类) based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel. This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the Intel Science Talent Search.Daniel BurdPlastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose (降解), but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months.In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster.

We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well, which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than those people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.4.The first paragraph tells us ___________.A. none needs friendsB. we need to be aloneC. we always need friends around usD. making friends is the need in people’slife5.Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?A.

Verne ran away once as a child and came upon a small boy who was crying. The boy said he had to leave his family to go on a ship, but he didn't want to. So Verne took his place on the ship. He thought he was going to explore the world, but his father caught up with the ship before it got very far and took Jules home and punished him. Verne said that after that he would only travel in his imagination, and he did.Verne wanted to write plays. So as a young man he went to Paris and hung out at local theaters and became friends with all the play-writers there. That's how he metAlexander Dumas. Dumas wrote adventure stories that interested Verne very much. Verne decided to write one of his own, an adventure about the ever so popular hot air balloon trips of that time.Success was not easy for him, though. He didn't know much about science and he had a wife and two children to take care of. So he would wake up early each morning and do work and research before he went to work to support his family. Once he felt he knew enough about sience he began to write his story in the morning. Luckily, his book was finally published by a person named Hetzel.Jules Verne was the first to write a believable story about a person going to the moon. Verne used his knowledge of science to write a book about it. Thanks to his book, people started thinking that going to the moon was more realistic. After Jules Verne died in 1905, other authors started writing about space. Children would read Verne's book and dream of growing up to build rockets. Because of Verne's book, the dream of going to the moon was reached.12.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ______.A. discuss the adventures Jules Verne had in his lifeB. explain the reason why Jules Verne became a writerC. show Jules Verne's knowledge of scienceD. give a brief introduction to Jules Verne13.The story in Paragraph 1 shows that the young Jules Verne was ______.A. adventurousB. friendlyC. naughtyD. shy14.From the last paragraph we can infer that ______.A.

Verne probably mentioned rockets in his story about traveling to the moon15.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.
