Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon 1earned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use, he quickly came up with a simple method—the Magic Meatball Maker.He was sure there was a market for his machine. but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks, but he believed in his idea, and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer (制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for a share in the profits (收益), local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend’s daughter help ed him out with his first sales.But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes, they had sold more than 4,000 units.This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth, and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it’s till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.【1】Working in the restaurant, Peter_______ .A．was chosen to be the manager B．found a chance to make moneyC．broke a meatball-making machine D．was poor at making meatballs by hand【2】Which of the following helped Peter’s business take off?A．A local shop.B．A friend’s daughterC．A local manufacturer D．A TV shopping channel【3】What’s the right order to describe Peter’s life?A．Teacher→dish washer→inventor→businessmanB．Dish washer→teacher→inventor→businessmanC．Businessman→dish washer→inventor→teacherD．Inventor→businessman→dish washer→teacher【4】What can we learn from the story?A．Better late than neverB．A friend in need is a friend indeedC．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.2.“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me?” That’s voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from Philae,a space vehicle that landed on a comet(彗星)in 2014. However, its transmissions (传输信号)back home went silent since then.It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system (太阳系)and reach comet 67P/C-G. The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014．Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it jumped up and ended up in the shadow of somethinglike a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work.However，as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well,”says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency.“We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep oncommu nicating and receiving instructions.”【1】Hearing Philae’s voice，those people must have felt_______________.A．afraid B．calmC．excited D．worried.【2】According to the text, Philae_______________.A．was damaged when it landedB．moved around comet 67P/C-GC．needs light and gas to keep workingD．helps scientists learn about a comet【3】What Stephan says in the text suggests that ____________.A．Rosetta will move around another cometB．Philae will continue to work for scientistsC．most comets are as wide as four kilometersD．he wonders whether Philae is still alive【4】What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A．A sleeping space vehicle wakes up．B．It is very dangerous to travel in space.C．A new comet was discovered recently.D．Philae was sent into space successfully.3.Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (预订)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.【1】Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?(O="wheel," □=seat)A．B．C．D．【2】Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio ________.A．is sold at affordable pricesB．will be available in most storesC．has a fixed temperatureD．does no harm to the environment【3】The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.A．take a chance B．stand in the wayC．break into pieces D．make a difference【4】What would be the best title for the text?A．The history of Elio Motors B．Cool and practical vehicleC．Paul Elio: a kid with big dreams D．What car to choose: new or used?4.Dear young musicians,Thank you for agreeing to take part in our Music Day.

贵州高一高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Sport is very popular in England. In other words lots of English people like the idea of sport. A lot watch sport on TV. But the number who take part in sport is quite small. On the whole English people prefer to be fat rather than thin. The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions(级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to get a ball through a net; tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that youropponent(对手) can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport. Actually, that is not quite true. Athletics(田径) isn’t played with a ball; nor horseracing. Perhaps that is why they are not as popular as football!【1】________ is the most popular sport in England.A．Basketball.B．Football.C．Golf.D．Tennis.【2】You have to be a good supporter to watch ________ division football.A．the first B．the second C．the third D．the fourth【3】Why do many English people not take part in sport?A．They are too busy.B．They like watching sport on TV.C．They would like to be fat.D．They prefers to be thin.【4】Why are English people interested in sport?A．They have their football team.B．The sport games are played on Saturday afternoon.C．They like the idea of sport.D．They like the famous players.2.The Post Office in Britain is famous for getting letters and parcels to places to which they should be sent. The problem is that we the public have to observe the rules. For example, we must put a stamp on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double. We often see the sign ALL LETTERS MUST BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means having to use postcodes. If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should have arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. If Aunt Sophie is going to send you a jar of your favorite jam, she will have to wrap it up well. The most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels legibly(易读) and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we should do and what we actually do are often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office had to deliver a letter which showed a name followed by the word Arijaba. What is this, do you think? Arabic? Hiodustani(兴都斯坦语)? Wrong both times! Say it out loud and you’ll see it’s just plain English. HARWICH HARBOUR！【1】In England _______ if you forget to put on a stamp.A．nobody can receive your letterB．you will have to give some money as a punishmentC．you can’t have your letter postedD．you can still have your letter posted【2】If you didn’t use a postcode, _______.A．your letter couldn’t arrive soonB．your letter would be surely lostC．your letter could not be postedD．your letter would be sent back at last【3】When we post parcels, we must _______.A．address them correctlyB．address them clearlyC．package them correctlyD．all of the above【4】From the passage we can see that postmen _______.A．have no difficulty in delivering any lettersB．have difficulty in delivering mis-spelt lettersC．won’t deliver any letters with bad handwritingD．can deliver all letters to their destinations(目的地)3.Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (paying all attention to something) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.Study TechniquesYou should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to phone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking SkillsAll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too. When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.【1】What is the passage about?A．Tips on how to improve study.B．Study techniques.C．Test-taking skills.D．Concentration skills.【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．You should study in a different place every day, so you don't get bored.B．Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C．Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D．Staying up till night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot in this way.【3】What can be inferred(推断) from the passage?A．You shouldn't look at everyone else during the test.B．You will concentrate more on your study by eating healthy diet.C．A study desk or table is unnecessary when you are studying.D．If you feel tired during study, you can contact your friend by phone.4.There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes.The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water.A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water.The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat.If you do as the directions (说明) on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily(不一定) better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes. 【1】If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that ________.A．don’t fit you B．don’t last longC．need to be dry cleaned D．can be washed【2】The labels inside the clothes tell you ________.A．how to keep them looking their bestB．how to save moneyC．whether they fit you or notD．where to get them dry cleaned【3】The best title for the passage should be ________.A．Buy Less Expensive ClothesB．Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC．Being a Clever Clothes ShopperD．Choosing the Labels inside New Clothes【4】“Well-made clothes last longer” means ________.A．clothes that are well made will be the last for you to chooseB．clothes that are well made are mostly longer than cheap onesC．you can wear well-made clothes for a longer timeD．you can wear well-made clothes for a long time if you wear them at last5.阅读下列短文，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。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C.
