山西省2019学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays offfrom duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I though t I’d hitch a ride ( 搭便车 ).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought Imust be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使… 放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride.I thought it was another chance to rep ay someone for the kindness I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your r ed hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .A. her work delayed her trip to SydneyB. she was going home for her holidaysC. the town was far away from SydneyD. she missed the only train back home2. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A. He helped the girl find a ride.B. He gave the girl a ride back home.C. He bought sandwiches for the girl.D. He watched the girl for three hours.3. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man wasthat .A. she realized he was GordonB. she had known him for decadesC. she was going to the nearby townD. she wanted to repay the kindness she once got4. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.B. Those who give rides will be rapid.C. Good manners bring about happiness.D. People should offer free rides to others.2. Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources （来源） , as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills （风车） began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind （磨碎） wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s, when electricity was availableto people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.1. From the text we know that windmills_________________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 3000 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered2. What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?A. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.3. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that________.A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs4. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantage of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global movement towards producing power from wind.3. When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock （家畜） .During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge （挑战） to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.1. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The energy for their houses.C. The fashions for their houses.D. The building materials for their houses.2. People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.A. keeping their livestock downstairsB. protecting their livestock from the coldC. sharing their houses only with their cowsD. living on the second floor with their livestock3. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A. heat raises the temperature in the housesB. heat goes in the upward directionC. heat goes up if temperature is raisedD. heat increases the temperature of rocks4. From the passage, we can conclude that __________.A. people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology4.
