高一上学期英语期中考试试题（不含听力）Ⅰ阅读理解（每小题2分，共10小题，满分20分）第一节：阅读理解（每小题2分，共5小题，满分10分）ASteven Jobs, the designer of Apple Computer,was not clever when he was in school.At that time,he was not a good student and he always made troubles with his schoolmates.When he went into college,he didn't change a lot. Then he dropped out（退学）.But he was full of new ideas.After he left college,Steven Jobs worked as a video game designer.He worked there for only several months and then he went to India.He hoped that the trip would give him some new ideas and give him a change in his life.Steven Jobs lived on a farm in California for a year after he returned from India.In 1975,he began to make a new type of computer.He designed the Apple Computer with his friend in his garage.He chose the name "Apple" just because it could help him to remember a happy summer he once spent in an apple tree garden. .His Apple Computer was so successful that Steven Jobs soon became famous all over the world.He often said,"I live in order to change the world;there aren't any other reasons.The only way to have a great achievement is to love your own career.If you can't find your favorite career,go on looking for it and never give up."This is Steven Jobs.Though he is dead,his spirit and achievements still influence our lives. 1．Why was Steven Jobs not a good student in school?A. He never did his lessons.B. He dropped out.C. He always made troubles with his schoolmates.D. He was full of new ideas.2．What can we know about Steven Jobs from this passage?A. He didn't finish his studies in the college because he hated his schoolmates.B. He liked traveling in India and California.C. He liked trying new things and making his new ideas come true.D. He thought he had many reasons to live in the world.BPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight.Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants. 3．The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. plants arc important for lifeB. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the worldD. we can not live without water4．Plants can make food from .A. flower, water and airB. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soilD. air, sun and light5．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A. Of all living things animals are most importantB. Spores arc seedsC. All fruits of flowering plants have seedsD. Without plants, man will die out第二节：七选五（每小题2分，共5小题，满分10分）A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child’s development. 6． This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all.

B.A traveler's journal.C.A news report.D.A trip guide.BA team of researchers from several institutions in the UK and one in Estonia has created a type of buoy（浮标）that has proven to be effective at frightening seabirds, thus preventing them from getting caught in gillnets—a type of vertical fishing net that is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.Every year, hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets. Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back and forth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed.4. What is the function of paragraph 2?A. Introducing a new topic to discuss.B. Providing background information.C. Summarizing the previous paragraph.D. Pointing out the main idea of the text.5. Why did the researchers make the googly eyes big?A. To ensure all the seabirds can see them.B. To clearly observe seabirds' eye contact.C. To allow them to survive the strong wind.D. To effectively identify the right direction.6. What does the researchers' test result mainly suggest?A. The new device still needs improvingB. Gillnets are a death valley for seabirds.C. Seabirds hardly catch fish near the nets.D. The googly-eyed buoy proves effective.7. What is the text mainly about?A. A group of researchers interested in seabirds.B. A way to help seabirds catch fish effectively.C. A device keeping seabirds safe from gillnets.D. A googly-eyed buoy guiding seabirds to hunt.COnce a rich and clever boy had practically everything a boy could want, so he was not interested in most toys. But he couldn't get a very old mirror, and heconvinced his parents to buy it from mysterious（神秘的）old man. When the mirror arrived home, the boy went to see his reflection in it. His face looked very sad indeed. He tried smiling and making funny faces, but his reflection continued with its sad expression. "What a terrible mirror! It's the first time I've seen a mirror that didn't work properly!" the boy jumped violently.That same afternoon he went into the street to play and bought a few toys, but on his way to the park he saw a little girl who was crying her heart out. The girl was crying so much and looked so lonely that the rich boy went over to help her and to see what had happened. The little girl told him that she had lost her parents.Together the two set off in search of the parents. As the little girl wouldn't stop crying, the boy spent his money buying her sweets to cheer her up. Finally, after much walking, they found her parents who were much worried and were looking for her everywhere.The rich boy said goodbye to them. As it was getting late, he decided to head for home, without being able to play. At home, he went to his room, and noticed a shining light in the corner, the same corner he had left the mirror in. Seeing this, he went over to the mirror, and realised that the light was coming from his own body, so radiant（闪亮的）with happiness he had become.And so he understood the mystery of that mirror, the only mirror which could faithfully reflect the true joy of its owner. He realised it was true. He felt very happy at having helped that little girl. And since then, each morning when he looked in that mirror and failed to see a special shine, he knew what he had to do to bring it back.8. How did the boy feel when he first looked into the mirror?A. Embarrassed.B. Angry.C. Worried.D. Delighted.9. Why was the little girl crying so hard?A. She couldn't find her parents.B. She couldn't get the mysterious mirror.C. Her parents couldn't buy toys for her.D. The boy refused to give his toys to her.10. What could the boy see in the mirror after he went back from the park?A. A shining toy.B. A broken mirror.C. His happy face.D. The lovely girl.11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To tell us a horrible story.B. To introduce to us a strange mirror.C. To warn us not to be selfish.D. To encourage us to help others.DTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes.

After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.12. Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A. peaceB. warC. stressD. sorrow13. Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors (谣言), half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell teal news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.4．What does the writer say about young people with news around?A．They make fake news and spread it.B．They are easily fooled by fake news.C．They get worried about their education.D．They can recognize facts from opinions. 5．What does the underlined word “credible” in the last paragraph mean?A．Primary.B．Realistic.C．Believable.D．Important.6．According to the writer, what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?A．Only look for news through media.B．Become a professional and trained reporter.C．Compare the news from different sources.D．focus on the new instead of the writer.7．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．What Should a Reporter Do?B．Who Makes and Spreads Fake New?C．How Can We Become a Newspaper Editor?D．How Can We Stay Objective in Reading News?Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a very calm person, so when I could almost feel his heartbeat through the phone line, I ran.When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped (被包裹) in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.What neither of us knew, or could have assumed, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to tell the story of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.“Well, it can be,” said the judge before giving orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without asking me?In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child: I was an devoted playwright (剧作家) working as a part-time word clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under-paid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they want to have a baby.And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the social system and was sure there would be difficulties. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t devote to it.The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he showed to me, I, like Danny, completely fell for him.8．Why did the author rush to the subway station?A．Because Danny finally found their son.B．Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.C．Because Danny had a heart disease.D．Because someone gave birth to a baby there.9．How did the author feel on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?A．Excited by Danny’s words.B．Crazy to be a parent-to-be.C．Angry about Danny’s decision.D．Upset about losing her authority.10．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A．the author will adopt the babyB．the couple were not to take the babyC．the baby will bring hope to the familyD．the couple love each other very much11．What is the author’s intention of writing the passage?A．To introduce a story of a poor family.B．To inform people of the difficulty of adopting a baby.C．To call on people to donate money to them.D．To show human’s kindness and love by nature.If you want to make sure that you understand this story as fully as possible, you might consider printing the article and reading it on paper. That is one of the findings of a recent study of research done on the differences between paper and screen reading.Virginia Clinton carried out the research examination. Clinton looked at 33 past studies done between 2008 and 2018 that examined paper versus screen reading. Her examinationfound that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two. Such differences were notable only when the reading materials were expository texts — or explanatory and based on facts. Clinton said she found no major difference when it came to narrative, fictional texts.Clinton also found that paper readers usually have a higher recognition of how well they have understood a text than screen readers. This skill is called metacognition. The word “cognition” means the mental action of increasing knowledge and understanding. “Metacognition” simply means thinking about one’s own thinking.Clinton said, “We think that we’re reading the story or the book better than we actually are. We think we understand what we are reading better than how we are actually reading.” Yet, this inflated（夸大的）sense of understanding, or over-confidence, is especially common among screen readers.Clinton said there are many possible reasons for such findings. Over-confidence of screen readers, for example, could be the result of a less focused mind. Clinton said, “If you are enjoying the reading, you’re going to be more concentrated. You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.”Several studies have found that people often think of paper materials as more important and serious. “If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks, ‘This is something important. I need to pay attention to it’,” Clinton said. Readers might connect computer screens with fun, less serious activities — such as checking social media or watching Netflix. That, Clinton said, could explain why most studies find no major difference in screen and paper among narrative, fictional reading materials. Clinton described this kind of reading as “enjoyment reading”.Although her findings may support paper reading over screen reading, Clinton points to new and developing tools that can be used to improve a screen reader’s understanding and focus. “For example, when you’re reading off of a screen it can be programmed that you have to answer questions and get them right before you can continue. Paper can’t make you do that.”12．Which of the followings is not true about Clinton’s research?A．In order to carry out the research, Clinton checked over 30 studies that shared similar topic.B．When it comes to fictions, paper readers and screen readers tend to have the same speed.C．Paper readers usually are more aware of their level of understanding about the text.D．Whether a reader likes the reading or not does not influence his or her degree ofconcentration.13．Which of the following actions in daily life reflects “metacognition”?A．Matt always tries to figure out the personality of the characters when reading a book.B．Tom often writes down his mind map and evaluates it after solving a math problem.C．“I think I am in love with you.” Ted said to Mary without a second thought.D．We are expected to pay attention to others’ feelings when talking with them. 14．What does Clinton think is the advantage of screen reading?A．It can be programmed to check understanding.B．It provides the same reading materials.C．It has tools to force readers to continue reading.D．It encourages readers to read at a high speed.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Screen time makes reading more effective.B．Paper reading is more effective than screen reading.C．Screen-reading is more suitable for some readers.D．Computer reading is improving paper reading.二、七选五If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable readingconversational skills.Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of, or only other international students instead of native speakers. 17 In fact, hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a wordincorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you ask them to guide you. 18Increase your knowledge. 19 If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well.20 If you have to explain something to someone, you are eager to pronounce everything as well as you can to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years.A．It has a bad impact on improving your spoken English.B．You are likely to make great progress in this way.C．If possible, become a teacher at your school.D．It’s a win-win opportunity for international students.E．Keep up with the latest news and watch popular shows and movies.F．Explaining everything in a different way counts.G．You may have trouble in listening and speaking in the language, however.三、完形填空My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we sawfor others we can 32 ! Things would have played out so 33 if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have 34 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the 35 taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them. 21．A．Lost B．Changed C．Quit D．Finished 22．A．condition B．place C．sight D．show 23．A．outside B．proudly C．by D．angrily 24．A．draw B．say C．arrange D．pick 25．A．dollar B．job C．hot meal D．gift card 26．A．easy B．low C．soft D．keen 27．A．giving B．saving C．spending D．begging 28．A．yet B．even C．still D．just 29．A．toys B．medicine C．food D．clothes 30．A．sleepy B．watery C．curious D．sharp 31．A．experience B．example C．message D．adventure 32．A．rely on B．respect C．learn from D．help 33．A．suddenly B．vividly C．differently D．perfectly 34．A．time B．power C．patience D．money 35．A．strong B．sweet C．strange D．simple四、用单词的适当形式完成短文(form)of tai chi, health qigong, and different levels of martial arts.Lin said people from different age groups come to 43 (she)classes for different purposes. “Young kids want to improve 44 (fit)and learn Chinese culture, adults take chances to relieve stress 45 (bring)by work, and retired people practice it to prevent health problems,” she said.五、根据中英文提示填写单词walk further.(根据英文提示单词拼写)47．He could speak French (to speak a language easily, well, and quickly) while his little brother could not.
