AIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water asmuch as possib le. Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release itquickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) offthe fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in thestomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause noserious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fishwhen it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.1.Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A.

Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this reason they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fears behind and free your mind before starting your studies. You have to be confident and it is the most important thing for attaining victory.Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subjects can be given more time while easier ones less. And remember some time shall be spared for entertainment and also there should be enough break time between each subject.Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting aff ects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.36．Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?A．No pains, no gains.B．Knowledge is power.C．It’s never too old to learn.D．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.37．Why do some students hate exams according to the passage?A．Because they think exams are meaningless.B．Because preparing for exams takes up most of their time.C．Because there are too many exams at school.D．Because they don’t have enough self-confidence.38．Why does the writer say “No need to explain this point” in Paragraph 5?A．Because it’s difficult to explain.B．Because it’s easy to understand.C．Because we need to study in silence.D．Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on Google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．39．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day40．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literatureB．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dishD．American changing cultures41．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew42．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different culturesTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could notexplain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”．She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim（严酷的）since in most situations like this，“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”．Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a“great explanation”for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and h ad stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping，”she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said：“I got a second chance in life.”43．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A．She became unconscious.B．She took a nap.C．She had a bad headache.D．She suffered a heart attack.44．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer? a．suffering a heart attackb．stopping heart beating entirelyc．stopping breathingd．coming back to lifee．receiving an epiduralf．producing a babyA．a c f d b e B．f c a d b eC．e a c b f d D．e a b c f d45．Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?A．Shocked. B．Puzzled.C．Normal. D．Curious.四、信息匹配Finding a new and fun hobby can make you a happier person. Hobbies can be a great way to relieve stress and bring more joy into your life. Specifically when you find a new hobby. Hobbies are for everyone at any age. When you get older, you should not have fewer hobbies.46．You might be looking for a new hobby, but you're not sure what. A new hobby requires finding new interests, which means experimenting to find those interests.Try new things. To find a new hobby, it will require trying new things. New hobbies won't usually just find you. Don't put things off. You might think to yourself, "I don't like that." If you've never done it, or given it a chance, how can you know?47．Learn new things. You're never too young or old to learn more in life. If you take the time to learn new things, you'll develop new interests. Let your curiosity run wild, and develop more knowledge over the things you don't know or are familiar with.48．Reading the same sports newspaper everyday doesn't count as a new and fun hobby.Collect things.49．Start collecting them. Maybe you have an interest in coins, or specific jewelry. Think about certain interests that pertain to what you can collect. If you're a sports fan, then collect sport cards, or jersey's. Simple hobbies aren't always a bad thing. You can collect just about anything.50．. Everyone has a creative side. Some people find different ways of expressing that side to them. It can be writing, drawing, painting, playing a music instrument, photography, dancing, or singing. These can be fun and relaxing hobbies to have that be a positive way of expressing your emotions.A Interact with othersB Think of the things that you do likeC Learning is not such a bad thingD Find and express the creative side in youE Have an open mind and give things a chanceF Otherwise you'll develop more stress and gray hairsG write down a list of the leisure activities you enjoy五、用单词的适当形式完成短文课文填空ZY: But how can I listen carefully while51．notes?HX: This is a52．of the trade, If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts53．.

Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam's story is a tale of two cities -- one during the day and a completely different one at night．During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．But when the sun goes down, the party begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they're all within a short cab ride of each other．For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there's the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．But at night party-seekers come to the square．Hip hop or funk music is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don't shut down until 4 am．And while you're there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don't worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent．Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system．For about 10 dollars, you canuse the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise（巡游） the "Venice of the North"．The city has a historic past．One impressive place to visit is the Anne FrankHouse on Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famousdiary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behindthe bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．39．What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?A．A carriage(马车)． B．A bicycle． C．A canal bus．D．A water 40．When getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in _________ ．A．only Dutch B．Dutch or English C．onlyEnglish D．Spanish and English41．What can you learn about by visiting the Anne Frank House?A．The experience of a beautiful girl survivor．B．The glorious past of Amsterdam．C．The life of Jewish during World War Ⅱ．D．The suffering of the Dutch in wars．42．The passage is intended to（旨在）________．A．call up people’s memories of World War ⅡB．tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is aboutC．instruct visitors what to do and see in HollandD．offer readers some information about AmsterdamCToday, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner-Sophie Mutter is at the top.“She gives radiance (光辉) to the music, ” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a smalltown just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter,and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus,their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his youngerbrother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner-Sophiesaid she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her tostart on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed(渴望) to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, becameAnner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she enteredthe six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki.She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played,not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” saidher father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowedto give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned18 did she begin her professional career.43. It was_______when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.A. surprisingB. greatC. usualD. possible44. Anner-Sophie’s career dates back to_______.A. the late 1960’sB. her family educationC. the late 1970’sD. her fifth birthday45. Which sentence shows Anner-sophie’s strong point as a violinist?A. She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.B. She has always had a mind of her own.C. She had two famous violin teachers.D.

2020-2021学年甘肃省天水市第一中学高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the University of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that a reality. The team recently introduced a human-shaped kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests. When teatime is over, the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away.In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (橱柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge. They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well. Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (忧虑). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives. The European Commission recently funded(资助) a project to study these concerns. According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, “Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”1．Compared with Readybot, the Japanese robot ________.A．is more popular B．performs more jobsC．moves more quickly D．looks more like a person 2．Readybot can now be used to ________.A．drive you around B．clean your kitchenC．prepare food for you D．work for office workers3．Th e underlined word “manipulating” can best be replaced by ________.A．inventing B．avoiding C．controlling D．making4．In the last paragraph the author says that parents ________.A．have shown great interest in kitchen robotsB．can’t wait to use kitchen robots in their homesC．might think that kitchen robots could be dangerousD．found out how to operate robots safelyCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking, while a dog doing the same signals giving in.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.5．The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A．early B．quickly C．sweetly D．violently 6．Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.A．they are cold to each otherB．they look away from each otherC．they are introduced at an early ageD．they misunderstand each other's signals7．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A．have common interestsB．are less different than what we thoughtC．have a common body languageD．are less intelligent than what we expected8．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A．We should learn to live in harmony.B．We should know more about animals.C．We should live in peace with animals.D．We should learn more body languages.二、阅读理解With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages.

As I was waiting to board the plan, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination; Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement; “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shor tly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems therewere also three of other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight to London for a week, the airline had no choice except to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and marvelous food of Jamaica!

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A．Efforts made in vain.B．Getting injured in his work.C．Feeling uncertain about his future.D．Creatures forced out of their homes.5．Why was the author called to Muttontown?A．To rescue a woman.B．To take care of a woman.C．To look at a baby owl.D．To cure a young owl.6．What made the chick calm down?A．A new nest.B．Some food.C．A recording.D．Its parents.7．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s unexpected.B．It’s beautiful.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions. They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Thei r manager was in great anger when he said: “This isn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of theFederation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛) of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable(有争议的) end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or innon-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义). 8．According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _______.A．created goodwill between the nationsB．hardly showed any international friendshipC．caused only false national prideD．led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred9．What did th e manager mean by saying, “...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A．Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.B．His team would no longer take part in international games.C．There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D．The Federation should be ended.10．Which statement best summarizes this passage?A．Athletes should compete as individuals.B．Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.C．Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.D．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.二、七选五Many people find it hard to lose weight and have to go starvation. Now, I’d like to offer some tricks to help lose weight.Put out a large vegetable plate. Eating water-rich foods such as tomatoes during meals reduces calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. 11．Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different systems, it simply doesn’t register a sense of fullness with water (or tea, coffee or juice).Downsize your dinner plates. The less food put in front of you, the less food you’ll eat. So instead of using standard dinner plates, serve your main course on salad plates.12．Instead of large glasses and coffee mugs, return to the old days of cups and even smaller coffee cups.Serve your dinner restaurant-style (with food already on the plates) rather thanfamily-style (where the food is served in bowls on the table).13．There’s no reac hing for seconds.14．You’re more likely to eat more---and eat more high-fat, high calorie foods—when you eat out than when you eat at home.Eat slowly and calmly.15．Vary your eating with stories of the interesting things that happened during your day. Your brain is behind your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to fullness signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up and tell you that you no longer need food. Serving separate courses will also slow you downA．The same goes for liquids.B．Eat 90 percent of your meals at home.C．When your plate is empty, you’re finished.D．Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.E.Be sure to choose a high-fiber, low-sugar variety of food.F.You won’t get the same benefits by just drinking water, thoughG.You should eat equal amounts of vegetables and grains at dinner.三、完形填空When I was in my twenties, I travelled alone through the UK.

AEach time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed with little firework . Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics（杂技）, martialarts（武术）,dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers,whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.1．According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.When I was married in 1970, my husband ,who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned hermoney, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love , had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.4．What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?A．His concern for her.B．His pity and protection for her.C．His care and love for her.D．His pride and respect for her. 5．Where did the author’s friend keep the $ 100 dollar-bill?A．In the back of her wallet.B．In a little pencil case.C．In the pocket of her raincoat.D．In the layer of her suitcase. 6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The author became rich all of a sudden.B．The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C．The author's friend was not touched by her story.D．The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.7．What can be the best title for the text?A．A crown coin B．The help to a friendC．A hard life D．A gift from my fatherCLondon UndergroundThe world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However， the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.8.What led the British government to build the London Underground？A. Traffic jams and pollution.B. Population and pollution.C. Overcrowding and traffic jams.D. The poverty and subway problems.9.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？A. It made the tunnels larger.B. It put fans in the tunnels.C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.10. Which of the following is TRUE？A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the government built the subway.B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened.C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.II.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年甘肃天水第一中学高一上期中英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择A group of people decided to climb a mountain together. They thought it was going to be an easy climb, so they laughed and talked among themselves and didn’t notice the sky growing darker. They soon got lost for they couldn’t see very far in front of them. Theyhuddledtogether that night over a fire.No one walked too far away from the group by themselves because it would surely lead to death. They sat close to each other throughout the dark hours not just for warmth, but for the fact that staying with the group was their only hope for survival. After what felt like a century, the sun started its slow climb up the sky. They were now able to see as far ahead of them as they liked, so they began to go down the mountain.They still remained as a group at this time even though there was no real need. A bond (凝聚力) had formed throughout the group that could not be broken or ignored. They knew each other just as well as they knew themselves. As they reached the place where they had started their journey, they knew it was time to say goodbye. Feeling at peace, they bowed (鞠躬) deeply to each other. All of them kept the love they created as a group close to their hearts as they made their way out into the world alone.1．What was the difficulty the group of people met in the mountain?A．Damaged roads. B．Animals’ attack.C．Losing their way. D．Running out of food.2．What does the underlined word “huddled” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Talked a lot. B．Sat close to each other.C．Played happily. D．Explored the mountain.3．What was the most important thing they did in order to survive?A．They kept close to each other.B．They told stories to encourage others.C．They made a fire to keep warm.D．They sent some people to find the way.4．They remained as a group when going down the mountain because ______.A．the way was still not clearB．they enjoyed being in a groupC．they needed others to pull themD．the way became difficult to walk onIn my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment. Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5．With a plan of action, you can ______.A．work harderB．do the wrong things more rapidlyC．avoid doing wrong thingsD．get nowhere faster6．Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A．waste a lot of timeB．find the things you need easilyC．become a top managerD．save seven and a half hours per week7．The text mainly tells us ______.A．how to avoid wasting timeB．we should get our batteries all charged upC．how important time management isD．some time management mistakesDear God,This is Charles. I’m twelve. I’m typing this letter. Sometimes it’s hard for me to write. It’s a disease called dysgraphia. I also have learning disabilities, but my IQ was tested at 140.I could never hold a pencil in the right way. My brain doesn’t sense what my hand is doing. I can feel the penc il, but the message doesn’t get through right. I have to hold the pencil tighter so that my brain knows I have it in my hand.It’s much easier for me to explain things by talking than writing. There are so many things I can picture in my mind, but my hands just can’t draw it the way I see it.It’s OK. I’m not complaining. I’m really doing fine. You see, you gave me a wonderful mind and a great sense of humor. I’m great at figuring things out, and I love to debate. We have some great discussions in class, an d that’s where I really shine.I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. I know I’d be good at it. You have told me that you made me special. You make me believe that you will see me through, and that you have plans for me to give me a future and hope. My parents want to help me, so they buy me a laptop. My teacher is the best this year! I am allowed to do a lot of my work on the computer. Life’s hard sometimes, but I accept the challenge. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for everything.Charles8．The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.A．the details of his diseaseB．his feelings about the diseaseC．how to prevent the diseaseD．how he holds a pencil in the right way9．The boy wanted to be a lawyer because of the following EXCEPT ______.A．he loved to debateB．he was good at explaining thingsC．he had a great sense of humorD．lawyers don’t have to depend on writing10．The boy wrote the letter in order to ______.A．complain about his diseaseB．show his gratefulnessC．show others that he was cleverD．talk about his life二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighb or who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would gr ow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years ago. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few yea rs later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.36. What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A. To build a forest.B. To save more lives.C. To make a lot of money.D. To study plants.37. One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he kicked the trees heavilyC. he never watered the treesD. he buried the leaves around the roots38.

Not only canone earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people thatvisit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and havea good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to thempolitely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.39.

If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is qu ite probable that the dog has caught cold.A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医） or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal （鼻的） passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）. 43．From the first paragraph we know about __________.A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet B．characteristics of sick dogs C．the similar ities between dogs and human beings D．causes and symptoms（症状）of cold in dogs44．When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.A．its favorite food B．the suggested food by the vetC．some meat and water D．food rich in vitamin B45．When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steamC．let it eat too much solid food D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home 46．It can be learnt from the text that _________.A．a dog’s cold can always disappear naturallyB．it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldC．treat ing a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s helpD．cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.DDuring my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.Tiffany’s mom always gave h er lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself.I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’llunderstand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern cloth es and delicious food.”It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.47.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AHave you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed（为难的）?Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn．I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped．A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装）I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the rain，watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation.Luckily，it began to stop after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man．“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,”he replied, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out oforder．you see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!1. Why did the writer go to the phone box and stay there?A. Because she wanted to keep warm.B. Because she wanted to wait for her friend there.C. Because she wanted to phone her mother.D. Because it rained heavily and she had no umbrella with her.2. What did the writer think the young man wanted to do?A. T o repair the phone.B. To use the phone.C. T o shake hands with her.D. T o listen to the phone box.3. How long did the young man wait for?A. About five minutes．B. About fifteen minutes.C. About ten minutes.D. About thirty minutes.4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The story happened on a cold Saturday morning last summer.B. The writer was telephoning to her mother when the it rained．C. It suddenly rained when the writer was on her way home after shopping.D. The writer thought the rain would last long.BIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet“fair weather friends”. They will be with you if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (靠得住).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信任) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!5. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. understanding.B. honesty.C. reliability.D. a sense of humor.6. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends7. This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friendCHere are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.Speak, speak, speakPractise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with some famous person s’, see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than the last.Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or a family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know.Practise improvising（即兴的）ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）.Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything at once. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.Build up your vocabulary.A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study often, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to remember them in your mind, then come back to them later.And above all, have fun!8. Why should one have himself recorded when practicing speaking?A. T o improve his speaking.B. To record his own progress.C. T o encourage others to start.D. T o become a famous person.9.
