外研版高一（上）英语期中试卷一-2三、阅读理解（满分36分）14．（10分）I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books．There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside．I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded．I always wanted to know what my mom was reading．Hearing mom say，"I can't believe what'sprinted in the newspaper this morning，"made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself．I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew．So I carried around a book，and each night，just to be like her，I would pretend to be reading．This how everyone learned to read．We would start off with sentences，then paragraphs，and then stories．It seemed an unending journey，but even as a six﹣year﹣old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors．When mom said，"The C﹣A﹣N﹣D﹣Y is hidden on the top shelf，"I knew where the candy was．My progress in reading raised my curiosity，and I wanted to knoweverything．I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly，so that I could read all of the road signs we passed．Most of my reading through primary，middle and high school was factual（与事实相关的）reading．I read for knowledge，and to make A's on my tests．Occasionally，I would read a novel that was assigned （布置），but I didn't enjoy this type of reading．I liked facts，things that are concrete（具体的）．I thought anything abstract（抽象的）left too much room for argument．Yet，now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex，I find myself needing a way to escape．By opening a novel，I can leave behind my burdens（负担）and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character．In these worlds I can become anyone．I don't have to write down what happened or what technique（技巧）the author was using when he or she wrote this．I just read to relax．We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding．Reading is a vital part of my life．Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning．And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless．（1）Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？A.She wanted mom to read the news to her．B.She was anxious to know what had happened．C.She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart．D.She couldn't help but stop mom from reading．（2）According to Paragraph3，the author's reading of road signs indicates（表明）．A.her unique way to locate herselfB.her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC.her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rulesD.her growing desire to know the world around her（3）What was the author's view on factual reading？A.It would help her update test﹣taking skills．B.It would allow much room for free thinking．C.It would provide true and objective（客观的）information．D.It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude（态度）to life．（4）The author takes novel reading as a way to．A.explore a fantasy landB.develop a passion for leaningC.learn about the adult communityD.get away from a confusing world（5）What could be the best title for the passage？A.The Magic of ReadingB.The Pleasure of ReadingC.Growing Up with ReadingD.Reading Makes a Full Man15．（8分）Driving is one of necessary skills that each person should have if they wish not to get trouble during their life．You had better start learning to drive when you are eighteen．Experience tells that the older you become，the harder it is to learn to drive．Learning to drive may be the very last thing on your mind when you graduate from a university，but it is helpful to look for a job and pay off the money which is spent on your study．So，the best way is to start out early to take driving lessons．Many teens in recent times are choosing not to drive．If so，you are really missing out on a huge part of growing up and losing lots of benefits ona whole．The top reason for not learning to drive is the high costs of driving lessons．But，we are here to tell you why you should ignore the costs and pay much attention to the many advantages．At times you aren't or can't be depending on public transportation．Those are the times you areprobably depending on a friend，or your parents for a ride．Knowing how to drive yourself will make you independent and you wouldn't have to fit your plans according to other people s plans．In the recent job world，there may be plenty of jobs．However，you won't be thought to be aneligible candidate（合格的候选人）because you don't know how to drive．（1）When is the best time to learn to drive according to

he opened the caféin a neighborhood of Los Angeles．"Everybody works at a laptop wearing headphones．"Kyle said．Then he threw the free Wi﹣Fi facilities into a bin．"Three hours for ﹩5worth of coffee is not a way that works．"He said．Starbucks may not feel the pain，with its billion﹣dollar income and many customers，but for smaller businesses，things seem grim．Even so，money isnot the main concern．In fact，what Kyle wants to do is to create an environment where café﹣goers can talk to one another，not just make his caféanother silent office．Kyle's case is not alone．Remote workers'have taken over small coffee shops for years．Instead of going to an office each day to work，they just choose to finish their projects at home or，more likely，in a small comfortable cafe just like Kyle's，where they can better concentrate．This being the case，Kyle facesa choice：Be strict and encourage remote workers to leave sooner after the coffee break，or accept themsilently and say goodbye to the traditio nal caféculture．Kyle chooses to speak up for the coffee culture．I can't agree with him more．Coffee，with a history dating back to the9th century，is more than just adrink．Similarly，caféis more than a place to drink a cup of coffee．Cafe has been tied closely to culture．In history，so many small cafés were frequented by the important persons in literature orscience．At that time，people came to a caféto simply talk about love，anger，dreams or even nothing．It was all about a thirsty heart rather than a thirsty mouth．So next time you get seated in a cafécorner，be sure to shut off all your modern equipment and greet the person nearby with a simple"Hello!"（1）What did Kyle do to try to stop the people from working in his café？（2）Where do the"remote workers"often work？（3）What did people do in the

So was the five-year-old girl in the bed beside me. We were both recovering from the same operation. Because I was older and wiser, I thought it was my job to look after her. “Do you want to hear a story?” I asked her one afternoon. “Great!” she said.It was so easy to make her happy. She seemed always to be smiling or singing songs.Life wasn’t fair. She passed away. My recovery went well. “You’re really lucky”, a nurse told me. “But how come my operation was so easy and hers wasn’t?” I asked. “Easy?” my dad said. “David, your operation wasn’t easy at all.

For the health of the planet, they say the same diet will reduce (减少)greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added, the world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste”. So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fishand meat. The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts, fruits, and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet. He said, “More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice Willet said, “If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”8. What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?A. The taste of the food.B. The number of population.C. The climate and our living conditions.D. The food we eat and the way we produce it.9. What does the “planetary health” diet mainly contain?A. Milk.B. Meat.C. Sugar.D. Plants.10. What do scientists say about the “planetary health” diet?A.

About five million students in the country are considered English language learners, or ELLs. Such students are the fast-growing group in the US public schools.The most commonly first spoken languages among ELLs in America are Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole and Vietnamese. Speakers of those five languages make up 92 percent of all ELLs included in the report.English language learners can choose one of several kinds o1 program. There are some programs, in which students are mostly taught in their native language. And there are other programs, which offer students almost all classroom teaching in English. However, these kinds of programs do not always allow students to write and read in their native language.There are also so-called bilingual programs. These programs offer teaching in two languages-English and another language. Research has shown that English language learners do best in bilingual programs, especially if the second language is their native language.The lack of high-quality bilingual programs is clear. Nationally, about 83 percent of students complete their high school education. But the graduation rate (比率) among English language learners is far lower 65 percent.School systems across the country sometimes look for bilingual educators internationally. But education experts say there are ways for states to find and train new teachers in their own areas. This spring, America came up with a list of “grow your own” rules for schools and states to follow. It advised states to offer a series of ways for bilingualteachers. It also suggested training bilingual teachers in their own areas even if they do not have a college degree.12. What can we learn about English from paragraph 1?A. It is difficult for most students.B. It is popular as a second language in American public schools.C. It is easy for foreign students.D. It is not welcome by public school students.13. How many types of programs for English language learners are mentioned in the text?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.14. What does the underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Learning one language.B. Using two languages.C. National.D. International.15. Where is the text probably from?A. An educational magazine.B. A maths paper.C. A diary.D.

Recent studies have shown that regular physical activity can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Here are some ways in which exercise benefits mental health:1.Endorphin Release: When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. These chemicals can create feelings of happiness and euphoria, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.2.Stress Reduction: Exercise can help reduce levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as cortisol. This can lead to a more relaxed state of mind, which is beneficial for overall mental health.3.Improved Sleep: Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep, which is essential for mental and physical recovery.4.Enhanced Brain Function: Exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and processing speed. This can help improve mental clarity and productivity.5.Social Interaction: Many forms of exercise, such as group sports orfitness classes, offer opportunities for social interaction. This can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation.6.Self-Esteem Boost: Engaging in regular exercise can lead to improvements in body image and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on mental health.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Exercise is a natural mood lifter.B. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.C. Exercise can help release stress hormones.D.

Every autumn, the townspeople would gather to celebrate the Harvest Festival, a time when the community came together to thank the earth for its bounty and to share the fruits of their labor.The festival began with a parade, led by the town’s mayor, who rode on a float decorated with colorful autumn leaves. The parade was followed by a variety of activities, including a pie-eating contest, a pumpkin carving competition, and a hayride through the countryside. The highlight of the festival, however, was always the Harvest Dinner, a communal feast where everyone brought a dish to share.One year, a young girl named Lily moved to Willow Creek. She had recently lost her mother and was struggling to adjust to her new surroundings. Despite her grief, Lily felt a strong pull to participate in the Harvest Festival.

People from all over the world come to see these fantastic (奇异的) buildings every year. At the center of each Mayan city was a very high temple. It was shaped like a pyramid with a flat top. Steep ( 陡峭的) steps were cut into the stone leading up to altar(祭坛) at the top. The temples were made of very precious materials. It shone brightly in the sunshine. Many people say that this can be compared to the religious temples of Bangkok (曼⾕). The Mayan people held their religious ceremonies there every year.The Mayan people loved their temples.

It was learned that they used mathematics in solving the building of those temples. They used maths 1,200 years before it was used in Europe. The calendar they put up on the temple is as accurate as the one we use today.The Mayan society lasted peacefully until about the year 1100.

Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.Computers today are playing important roles in education,transportation and medicine. They are used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop systems. They are being used by businesses, governments and institutions.There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.The influence (影响)of the computer is great.

Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody - goody, like Mickey.In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

Many pet owners treat their pets as part of the family. Sometimes they even play interesting videos for their pets or giving them amusing toys. If they have an eye for fashion, pet owners can dress their pets in stylish clothes Sometimes they can use animal perfume (⾹⽔) to make their dogs smell well, less beastly.In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At least 43 percent of US homes have pets of some sort. Animals, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves find a home with some Americans. More common petsinclude tropical (热带的) fish, mice and birds. But the all -time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House. Barney,the Bushes'dog, has now become First Pet. Many stores selltasty pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston , Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like Pizza, Pets can even go on a vacation with their owners.Furry ( 长⽑⽪的) guests at Four Seasons Hotels can enjoy meals served on fine china ( 陶器) and sleep in soft beds. Americans believe that pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare (兽医) can give animals medical care at a very high price. To pay for the high - tech health care, people can buy health insurance (保险) for their pets. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person's blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from thieves and unwelcome visitors.Cats can help rid (使摆脱) the home of unwanted pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide friendship and love. Pets even encourage social relationships: they give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation. Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just animals, but a part of the family.

Animals in AmericaEDo you want to send an e - mail message to the White House?Good luck.In the past, to tell President Bush—or at least those asked to read his mail—what was on your mind, it was necessary only to *****************************************************************************************.But this week, Tom Matzzie,an online organizer, discovered that communicating with the White House had become a bit more daunting (使⼈⽓馁的). When Mr Matzzie sent an e- mail to protest against a Bush administration policy, the message was bounced back with an automated (⾃动的) reply, saying he had to send it again in a new way.Under a system desplayed on the White House Web Site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to President Bush must now go through as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House or not.The White House says the new e - mail system is an effort to be more responsive (反应迅速的) to the public and offer the government "real time "access to citizen comments.Completing a message to the president also requires choosing a subject from the provided list, then entering a full name,organization, address and e - mail address. Once the message is sent ,the writer must wait for an automated response to the e-mail address listed, asking whether the addressee intended to send the message. The message is delivered to the White House only after the person using that e - mail address confirms (确定) it." Over all, it's a very cumbersome (迟缓的) process, " said Jokob Nielsenm.an expert on Web design. "It's probably designed deliberately to cut down on the e - mail. "53.

Why did the White House take the measures mentioned in the text?A. To improve their image (形象) in the public eyes.B. To do something about their work.C. To reduce the e - mail.D. To have a closer tie with the citizens.第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第⼀节阅读表述（共15分）Mobile phones have become a problem for middle schools.Some middle schools in Australia have banned(禁⽌) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year.Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts,and more studentswill want them.Mary Bluett,an official,said mobile phone use was a distraction(分⼼的事) to students during school hours and it also gave teachers so much trouble in their classrooms.Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.Some schools tried to ban mobile phones at school.Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school,but if there was a good reason ,they could leave their phones at school office.They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school:they were easy to lose.Many people said that they understood why parents would want their children to have mobile phones,but they thought schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones..56.

They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats.These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground.It was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became cold. Many trees couldn’t live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open field took the place of (代替) forest. The sun made the ground dry and hard (坚硬). Horses began to change too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had onlyone hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof (马蹄).56. Long ago, the horse had four toes on each of its __________.A. back feetB. front feetC. right feetD. left feet57.

A horse needed more than four toes for running.C. horses needed only their middle toes for running.D. horses didn’t need any toes.60. Now each horse has ________ on its feet.A. one toeB. two toesC. three toesD. four toesBPeople have smoked cigarettes for a long time now. The tobacco used to make cigarettes was grown in what is now partof the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported (运输) to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turks (土耳其人) made cigarettes popular.Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances (物质), tar and nicotine, Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate (频率).Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear (带有) a special warning about the danger of smoking.61. The expression “catch on” in the passage may mea n ______.A. startB. cost a lotC. become popularD. dangerous62. Before Columbus discovered America ______.A. Europeans had smokedB. Nobody smoked in the worldC. Nicotine was not in tobaccoD. Europeans had never smoked63. In the nineteenth century smoking became popular because of the people in ______.A. IndiaB. TurkeyC. the U.S.D. British64. Breathing is affected by ______.A. nicotineB. tarC. heatD. both A and B65. Which of the following is Not right?A. Smoking cigarettes is thought to be dangerous.B. The U.S. Public Health Service has found the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases.C. Cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases.D. The U.S. government wants smokers to know the danger of smoking.CHaving Breakfast Or NotWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test (试验) was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists (科学家) wanted to see how well their bodies worked when.they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight (减轻体重). This is becausepeople become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.66. During the test, the people were given ________.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. different foods or sometimes noneD. little food for breakfast67. The results show that ________.A. breakfast has little to do with a person’s workB. breakfast has great effect (影响) on work and studiesC. a person will work better if he only has fruit and milkD. girl students should have less for breakfast68. According to the passage, some people think that if you don’t have breakfast, you will __________.A. be healthierB. work betterC. lose weightD. fails the test69. The word “reduce” in the last sentence means _________ .A. 减少B. 增加C. 放弃D. 享用70. Which of the following is NOT true?A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.C. If you don’t eat much for lunch and supp er, you may lose weight.D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you’ll learn in class.D“Father Christmas” (or “Santa Claus” ) has become the human face of Christmas. Pictures will be seen everywhere of the old man with long white beard, red coat, and bag of toys. Children are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas, and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true. In most countries, it is said that he lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow-cart) pulled by reindeer(驯鹿). He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.In shops or at children’s parties, som eone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas. Christmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.Father Christmas is based on a real person, St. Nicholas, which explains his other name “Santa Claus” which comes from the Dutch “Sinterklaas”. Nicholas was a Christian leader from Myra (in modern-day Turkey) in the 4th century AD. He was very shy, and wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it. It is said that one day, he climbed the roof of a house and dropped a purse of money down the chimney. It landed in the stocking which a girl had put to dry by the fire! This may explain the belief that Father Christmas comes down the chimney and places gifts in children’s stockings.71. According to the passage, “Santa Claus” .A. has a long black beardB. wears a yellow coatC. has a basket of toysD. usually arrives on a sledge pulled by reindeer72. “Father Christmas” send s presents to children on .A.

He was from Myra.C. He was an Englishman.D. He was from America.75. The sentence “Chri stmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.” Means___________.A. Children are magic on Christmas.B. Father Christmas is very magical.C. Children are happy during Christmas because Father Christmas is magical.D. Children are very excited d uring Christmas because it’s a wonderful time for them.五、短文改错共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Drawing a picture is the simplest way of put an idea down on paper. This is where men began to write six thousand years before. The written words we now use came down to us during a long period time. It was developed from the picture writing.Except the Chinese, the American Indians also developed the ways of writing in pictures. So simple pictures could not express men's ideas freely. They need a better way to express feelings. Thus written words invented. After that men invented papers to write their words on.

AIt’s true that more and more people around the world are using the Internet nowadays. It seems that the Internet has become part of our daily life.Communication between countries from all over the world has become easier. Instead of phoning overseas, seeing the other person while talking through the Internet has become a reality (现实). Instead of sending letters, one might just send an email and in one minute it is received anywhere all over the globe. Letters used to need at least three days to arrive at the destination (目的地).Shopping via the Internet is also popular. Nowadays, one can shop from any part of the world and the products are received within a few days. Besides, the Internet has also become a source of trouble-free jobs for some people because they can easily work at home and send their work via email.That’s not all about the Internet. One can get all the recent news by surfing the Internet. Forming new groups is also a possibility. Those who share the same hobbies and ideas can form their group and discuss ideas and events they are interested in. Besides, the Internet has become a good way to advertise your products because a website may be entered by millions of people.On the other hand, there are also negative sides of the Internet. People who love gaming may spend hours playing with friends. That is not a problem. But if one becomes an addict of online gaming, he might become careless in his study or work.21. Which of the following is NOT true?A. With computers, people don’t write letters to their friends any more.B. Shopping online for foreign things is possible.C. Many people can work at home via the Internet without going to an office.D. The Internet can offer people the latest information.22. The underlined word “addict” in the last paragraph probably means a person who _____.A. begins to do somethingB. cannot stop doing somethingC. hates doing somethingD. has difficulty doing something23. Which would be the best title for the text?A. A New Way of CommunicationB. Shopping on the InternetC. The Two Sides of the InternetD. Keep away from the InternetBAs the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green.I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder (注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small foot ball. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, her face lit up (露出喜色) and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows.I can only pray (祈祷) that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.24. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son _____.A. became the best student in his classB. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessonsD. improved his grades greatly25. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?A. She regarded the students as members of a family.B. She had special ways to help students study.C. She was good at teaching football and music.D. She usually made a quick reply to parents’ emails.26. We can learn from the text that _____.A. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolB. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenC. Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th gradeD. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green27. In the text, the writer mainly tells us _____.A. what his son studied at schoolB. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacherD. a teacher who liked playing with studentsCWe’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything youtouch or use has some element of chemistry in it.Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin.Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar, because it can produce poisonous gas. Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.28. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Chemistry is easy to see around us.B. Sometimes chemistry is hard to see around us.C. How a science teacher does a big experiment.D. Few things in everyday life contain chemistry.29. The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT _____.A. cleaning teeth with toothpasteB. washing hair with hair productsC. using soap to get the oil out of clothesD. washing your face with water30. Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?A. One can’t find chemistry when cooking food.B. Chemistry plays an important part in food making.C. That dough rises is nothing to do with chemistry.D. A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Chemistry Around the HouseB. Chemistry in ScienceC. Chemistry for DinnerD. Chemistry in everyday lifeDNo matter where you travel in Asia, you’ll find yourself faced with a new culture. You can start your Asian exploration by visiting some of these attractive cities first.Beijing, ChinaBeijing is the second largest city in China and serves as the capital. The cityis so old, in fact, that almost every building has some sort of cultural or historic features — no matter how small. Getting around the city you’ll find yourself faced with amazing temples (寺庙), the largest palaces in the world, and many works of art that leave you breathless.Siem Reap, Cambodia (柬埔寨)Siem Reap is the capital city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia. Siem Reap has a lot of French and Chinese-style architecture. In the city, there are traditional dance performances, silk farms, fishing villages and a bird sanctuary (保护区) near the Tonle Sap Lake. Siem Reap today, being a popular tourist attraction, has a large number of hotels and restaurants.Kathmandu, Nepal （尼泊尔）Situated in the heart of the Himalayans, Kathmandu, the largest city and capital of Nepal, is considered to be one of the most outstanding cities in the world today. The shopping districts are world famous and the hotels in Kathmandu are among the most comfortable in the world.Kyoto, JapanThe city of Kyoto served as the capital of Japan from 794 to 1868. No longer the capital, it is known for being the seventh largest city in Japan. Kyoto was destroyed throughout history by fires and war.
