甘肃省会宁县第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)----it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.1．The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .A．introduce the topic of the passage B．give an exampleC．make an argument D．show the main idea of the passage 2．Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .A．people’s condition at birth B．environmental pollution C．people’s bad l iving habit D．heart disease and cancer3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ .A．the footprint B．the cementC．the harmful effect D．the genetic change4．Which of the following statements is true?A．The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B．The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingC．The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.D．The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.Do you want to be productive（富有成效的）at work or at home? Here's what you should do.Turn off televisionI used to tell myself that I needed a break. So, when the kids slept I turned on the cable and watched whatever program that caught my fancy. Often, I found myself not watching, just channel-surfing. And I didn’t end up watching a full program. I decided one day to just give up on TV as it made me sleep late and woke up exhausted（疲惫的）.If you want to be productive, cut off TV. You are better off reading a book. Without TV, I have managed to finish many books which I have bought but never read.Limit Internet UseThe other big distraction that can make you sleep late is the Internet. Probably because you will be checking your emails, updating your blog, watching YouTube, etc. Try limiting the use of it at home, or switch it to the morning session.Nowadays, I check all my personal emails early in the morning. When I get into work, I find myself less tempted to check personal emails.Know Your Priorities(优先考虑的事)Really, it is all about the choices you make and the priorities you have. If you know it is competitive out there in the world, how can you be a better worker than the person who is also aiming for the position above you?Rest Early, Rise EarlyYou want to be productive? Rise early, read more books, have more energy, be more focused and set standards for others to catch up. It’s as simple as that.5．The passage aims to give advice on how to ________.A．take better care of our kids at home.B．balance our work and energy well.C．divide time between work and family.D．compete against others for a better position.6．What does the author mainly use to support her theory?A．Ancient wisdom B．Internet informationC．Popular beliefs D．Personal experience7．The author used to be in the habit of _________.A．changing channels frequently when watching TV.B．checking all her personal emails in the morning.C．watching her favorite TV programs with her kids.D．reading the books immediately after she bought them.When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice. "This lady came up, and I'm thinking, 'This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea'. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through -it was one of my favorite moments," Cowell said.The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. "I mean, that's hardly a makeover（改头换面）," she added. Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, "I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence."8．Susan Boyle is _________A．a judge B．a Scottish womanC．a beautiful woman D．a reporter9．Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because______.A．she was confident of her singingB．she was satisfied with the judgesC．she was pretty and in good shapeD．she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables10．According to the passage, which is NOT true?A．It was the vocal talents that built Susan's confidenceB．Susan Boyle was not good at her lesson when at school.C．Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.D．Simon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the first sight. 11．What can we learn from Susan Boyle's successA．It's never too old to learn.B．It's easier to succeed at the age of 47.C．If you are not able to study well, to be a singer instead.D．If you have a dream, try to make it come true!The following is a father's advice to his son or daughter, who has just graduated from high school：First of all, congratulations on your graduation!Graduation from high school means that a new stage of life is ahead of you．At the beginning of this new stage, I have some advice for you．Clean your own room and do your own laundry(洗衣物的活). After you have messed up(弄乱)something, you should learn to clean it up yourself．Cleanliness is indeed close to godliness(信奉上帝)．Don't mistake knowledge for wisdom. No matter how much information or knowledge you have gained, you'll never make sound(正确的)judgments if you don't have wisdom. Wisdom comes from imagination and reflection(反省)．If you can imagine the possible future outcomes of your present decisions and actions, you can avoid mistakes．And if you can reflect on the mistakes you have made, youcan avoid making the same mistakes again and again．Such is wisdom．Don't complain．When you take up a job, do your best to carry it out．Don't waste time complaining about it, no matter how difficult and boring it is．Finally, be an early bird．If you get up earlier than the sun, you can watch it rising up slowly into the sky．And the sight of the rising sun will warm your heart and give you energy for the day ahead．Besides, being an early bird, you have plenty of time to take exercise or do a lot of work．12．The father wants to give his daughter some advice, because ___A．the father is a philosopher(哲学家)B．another period of life lies ahead of him/herC．he/she does not know how to behave himself/herselfD．the teacher is disappointed at his son's/daughter's performance 13．According to the father, wisdom enables one to ________．A．avoid one's responsibilities B．acquire(获得)a lot of knowledge C．complain about many things D．evaluate(评价)situations correctly14．In the opinion of the father, complaining ________．A．gets you nowhere B．is a pleasant thingC．usually leads to success D．can be appreciated by people 15．The father says that being an early bird makes one ________．A．sleepy and tired B．clean and happyC．hungry and angry D．energetic and efficient(高效的)二、七选五Improve your memorySome people often complain about their poor memory. Actually there are several ways to keep your memory sharp. This article will show you some simple tips.16．When you say these things, you begin to plant the thought in your mind and it may become true. Tell yourself you can remember anything as long as you put your mind to the task.You will see an improvement in your memory.17．If you have trouble remembering phone numbers or other blocks of numbers, it can be really helpful to try this method. If you remember them in smaller groups, like two or threedigits (数字), it will also be much easier to remember the numbers.Be sure to see a doctor if you are really losing your memory. A poor memory can be a sign that you are in low spirits.18．Playing games also helps improve your memory. Any type of games that involves(涉及) remembering things is wonderful.19．Try and remember it when you have nothing better to do.A useful tip for anyone interested in games is to often work on solving word puzzles and similar types of games.20．Not only will your memory probably improve, but you will also have a great deal of fun. A．Remember numbers in small groups.B．Stop telling yourself you have a weak memory.C．Take a right attitude.D．If you don’t like games, you can go over a list of "to do things".E.If so, treating it could be the key to getting your memory back.F.If you don’t know your condition, you cannot treat it!G.Such games use the same skills needed to remember facts and help keep the mind sharp.三、完形填空Willard Franklin came to my class half a year ago.

甘肃省白银市会宁县20212021学年高一英语下学期期中试题英语试卷第一部分：阅读明白得（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AMost dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to ple ase their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs because they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”. Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people.1. Th e writer tells the story about the dog Jack to show that____.A. it, like many other dogs, always tried to please its owner masterB. it, unlike many other dogs, always wanted its master to please itC. it was more intelligent than many other dogsD. it was the most fai thful dog of his friend’s2. Jack came to sit in front of the visitor in order to____.A. please himB. be pleasedC. ask him to leave immediatelyD. invite himfor a walk3. The sentence “Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer.” means___.A. Jack could no longer put up with the visitorB. Jack could no longer stand but he might sit downC. Jack was very tired and wanted a restD. Jack was very angry with the visitor4. Which of the following titles would be the best for the passage?A. Dogs─A Great Help to PeopleB. An Impatient DogC. An Introduction to DogsD. Famous Dogs in GermanyBA few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (埋怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desir e that parents have fo r their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people arevalued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.5. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.A. the generation gap suddenly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of modern social lifeC. people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap6. The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means _______.A. on all sidesB. in existenceC. in every directionD. near7. In American society, young people often _______.A. depend on their parents to make a lifeB. stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher educationC. seek the best advice from their parentsD. have very little in common with their parents8. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Parents should be strict with their children.B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.C. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.D. The generation gap does not exist in American society.CAsk a bachelor（单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describeraising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is oneof the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hoursto activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.9．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement10．Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain11．From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于）_____ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance12．To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possibl e during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from funDIn a nation with a one-child family planning policy, it’s understandable fo r parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. Are the children trulyas fragile as sometimes made out to be?The concern has been brought into focus with the popularity of a hit reality TV series, Hunan TV’s Da d! Where Are We Going? and Zhejiang TV’s First Time In Life. In both, children as young as three have become new public figures. In the show First Time In Life, children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks to completeby themselves；the ongoing Dad! show centers on five celebrity fathers and their children who are forced to live a simple life in rural areas, far outside their comfort zone.Regardless of (paying no attention to) their family background, the children’s reactions to new environments have struck the public.In one episode of Dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former Olympic diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. In an episode of the other series, a young girl in Tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake. In the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. But television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing Tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. In the case of Tian’s daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didn’t know.The father of the Tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said. “She used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother. Now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ”The shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mother Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi, a parenting expert in Beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives. ”13. What attracts the audience’s eyes in the programs?A. What the kids’ family background is like.B. Where children’s real comfort zone is.C. How children react to new environments.D. Why those children are independent.14. It can be inferred from the underline words “delightfully shocked” that .A. father is more important than mother in a familyB. children deserve a chance to be independentC. parents should provide a safe environmentD. the children are as fragile as parents expected15. The shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion about .A. protecting good traditionsB. the social safetyC. approaches(methods) to parentingD. the influence of TV programmes第二节（共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分）依照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI VII总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）AAsking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness．In American culture，the independent individual is seen as their ideal．As the University of Missouri at St．Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values，"Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies．" The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves，and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it．And when it comes to work situations，when they think about asking for help there，sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept．While this has always been true for men，many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth．Sometimes when we think about asking for help，our inner voices tell us，"See，if you admit you can't do this on your own，they'll see you for the imposter（骗子）you really are．"But the fact is，even though individualism is on the rise，we can't do everything by ourselves and we shouldn't try．Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help，and how he "never found anybody who didn't want to help me when I asked them for help"．He said，at the age of 12，he called Bill Hewlett，co-founder of Hewlett-Packard，on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter（计频器）．And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters．"If you're afraid of failing，you won't get very far，" Jobs said．1.What is the first paragraph mainly about？______A. What key American values are．B. Why Americans refuse to ask for help．C. Asking for help is a sign of strength．D. Americans are responsible for their life．2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "inept" in Paragraph 2？______A. impoliteB. identicalC. incompetentD. inappropriate3.What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon？______A. Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust．B. Americans see weakness as a sign of strength．C. Americans should learn to build up confidence．D. Americans lay emphasis on individual values．4.What can we learn from Jobs' words in the last paragraph？______A. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance．B. Be brave to try whatever you want．C. Failure is the mother of success．D. Learn to cooperate with others．BThroughout my educational years，despite the kind teachers I had met，I never felt interest in writing until I met her，Mrs Kelley．At first，I believed that writing would still be my worst class．Gradually，my fondness increased．She taught the lesson in such a lively way and her word choice impressed me．But that was not what made her my favorite．Unlike other teachers，after instructions，she gave an enormous amount of freedom in what we wrote，allowing us to create our own stories using our imagination．And that mattered most ．There was one really revolutionary event：the historical fiction unit．We were to invent out own stories using the period we were given．World War II was mine．At that point，I was just looking for a good grade．Rather than creating a mundane （平淡的）story，I wanted to make a story that I felt was meaningful．As I progressed，I was pulled further and further into the reality that I had made．Grammar no longer existed，as my hands gained acceleration．When I typed the final word，my hands trembled with excitement．Briefly，I read it over and then submitted the draft．In the midst of anxiousness，Mrs Kelley responded．She pointed out some mistakes and gave some suggestions．Sadly，there were no comments of recognition．I fixed the errors and moved on．But when waiting for the final grade，i erased all the unrealistic thoughts that wandered in my mind．In the next class，surprisingly，after handing back my paper，Mrs Kelley mentioned that my story was very good．I looked at her in confusion．Soon excitement stirred inside me．I found a "+5" attached to the score．She had given an extra point in "Plot"，adding an "Excellent!"No other teacher had done this．On that day，I felt what it means to be a writer ．Mrs Kelley introduced me to the beauty of literature and made writing so enjoyable．5.What made Mrs Kelley so special according to the author？______A. He patience and kindness．B. Her confidence in students．C. Her creative teaching style．D. Her professional knowledge．6.How did the author feel when Mrs Kelley responded at first？______A. Excited．B. Worried．C. Surprised．D. Disappointed．7.What was the biggest benefit the author got from Mrs Kelley's class？______A. Recognizing his talent．B. Finding the joy of writing．C. Determine his lifetime career．D. Acquiring practical writing skills．CThe idea that you can use humor，laughter，and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true．However，it is really true and simple．The sense of humor，laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy．Treat the blues with a sense of humor，which is closely tied to laughter．Laughter is infectious．Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling？When laughter is shared between people，it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness．Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is．You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you，and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile，even with a stranger．Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy．We are often encouraged tomake sure our children play，and are told of the benefits of being out playing．However，what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children．Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness ．While the studies are still in the early stages，the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive （认知的）falling．8.What can laughter increase according to the author？______A. Cognitive abilityB. Good relationshipsC. A sense of humorD. Happiness and trust9.What does the author think the old should do？______A. They should have a good rest．B. They should play like children．C. They should prevent cognitive falling．D. They should take part in physical play．10.Which of the following would be the best title for the text？______A. Humor，Laughter and Play for HealthB. Always Keep Our Body HealthyC. Have an Active and Happy LifeD. Let Our Body and Mind Relax二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Everyone dreams．If you've ever tried to understand the meaning of a strange dream，you're not alone．Humans have been trying to make sense of dreams since recorded history．(1) Here are some of the findings．(2) People with great creativity are more likely to dream about unusual settings and about blocks in the natural world，such as a log or a rock they can't get around．You've got a heart problem．People who have frequent nightmares may be more likely to suffer from an irregular heartbeat or chest pain．If you have those problems，it's more difficult for you to breathe at night．(3) ．You're avoiding something．Do you dream about being followed by a stranger，a snake，or a giant earthquake？This could indicate that you're afraid to deal with something in your daily life．(4)．You'll have a good result in a test．Students whose performance improved were those who had dreamed about the maze （迷宫）during the sleep．(5) This improves learning and problem-solving skills．Despite the fact that technology has vastly expanded our understanding of dreaming，much of what occurs when we're asleep remains as it has always been：a mystery．A．How creative you are．B．Dreaming may strengthen memories．C．What kind of problem solver you are．D．What can our dreams tell about ourselves？E．How can we understand better about ourselves？F．That explains why you cannot have a sound sleep．G．Ask yourself what issue or emotion you're faced with．11.

，故填from．6．and．考查连词．句意：在西安的20天里，我有机会仔细观察中国文化，而且这还给我留下了难忘的印象．分析上下文语境可知，此处是两个并列句，且是递进关系，故填and．7．badly．考查副词．句意：我一直非常想念西安．分析句子可知，本空格在句中修饰动词miss．修饰动词要用副词，bad为形容词，故填badly．8．a．考查不定冠词．句意：我在西安的20天是一个很好的经历． experience作"经历"讲时，是可数名词，此处是指一次经历，要用不定冠词a表示数量"一"，也是泛指．故填a．9．broaden．考查动词．句意：这是一个学习的机会，也是一个拓宽我对多元文化理解的机会．a chance to do…意为"…的机会"，chance后跟不定式作后置定语，因此用动词原形．因为broad为形容词，因此要用其动词broaden，意为"增长；扩大" ，故填broaden ．10．are tied．考查谓语动词．句意：不同的肤色、身高、种族和宗教，所有人都被博爱的纽带紧紧连在一起．分析句子可知，主语human beings与谓语动词tie之间为被动关系，要用被动语态．根据后一句的时态可知要用一般现在时，且主语是复数，故填are tied ．本文为记叙文．作者叙述了自己在西安旅行的一段经历．作者通过去西安参加一个培训课程的经历，增加了对中国文化的了解，从而感叹文化是不分国界和种族的．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析，逐题解答．扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键．37.【答案】permission【解析】答案：permission．本题考查翻译填空．根据句意和所给汉语提示可知这里使用名词permission"允许"，without

But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art？” I asked, “He can’t see.”“Can’t see？You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.

It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.Once, people used too much underground water.
