He drives carefully and can keep calm in time of danger. And he escaped from several accidents. The manager pays him more,and the traffic policemen often speak highly of him.Mr. Baker, one of his friends, works a factory outside the city. It’s far from his house and he has to go to work by bus. As the traffic is crowded in the morning, sometimes he’s late for the work. His manager warns the young man will be sent away unless he gets to his office on time. He hopes to buy a car, but he hasn’t enough money. He decides to buy an old one. He went to the market and at last he chose a beautiful but cheap car. He said he wanted to have a trial drive, the seller agreed. He called Mr. King and asked him to help him.Mr. King examined the car at first and then drove it away. It was five in the morning and there were few cars in the street. At first he drove slowly and it worked well. Then he drove fast. And when he reached a crossing, the lights turned red. He tried to stop it, but he failed and nearly hit an old woman who was crossing the street.

But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD() 53 wrote itWe all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this, You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed () and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomans, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy(), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things”51. The writer uses the quote(引言) at the beginning of the story to __________.A. tell us a truth about our liveB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. point out what causes such a thing to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same52. In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions __________.A. have speeded up our livesB. have improve the quality of our livesC. may make people feel very happyD. may bring people some trouble53. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _________A. they loved to live simple livesB. they wanted to know how people lived withour modern inventionsC. they were troubled by modern inventionsD. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them54. According to the passage, which id NOT right?A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happierB. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get betterC. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s houseD. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired55. The passage is mainly about __________A. problems with technologyB. improvements of our lives with technologyC. changes happening to technologyD. the importance of technology( D )Professor Martin’s report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.The Professor says, “It’s true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school.However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.”Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of 2 children, said, “I’ve never heard such rubbish, Taking me for e xample, no harm is done to the education of my children who change school regularly---if they keep to the same system. In my experience----and I’ve known quite a few of them---- Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn’t appear to notice is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency (倾向). “Our finding shows that while the very bright child can deal with regular change without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.”56. Professor Martin’s report suggests that _______.A. it may not be good for children to change schools oftenB. parents should not move oftenC. more and more children are mentally affectedD. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school.57. According to the passage, Professor Martin’s personal feeling____ .A. is the opposite of what his report has shownB. is in a way supported by his researchC. has played a big part in his researchD. is based on his own experience as a child58. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain Thomas’ children____.A. have been affected by changing schoolsB. have not been affected by changing schoolsC. like every army school they have been inD. are the brightest among the children who often change school59. According to Professor Martin, ____ suffer from changing schools regularly.A. non-army childrenB. bright childrenC. the majority of childrenD. few children60.Captain Thomas believes _____A. army children are generally better—adjusted than any othersB. army children are usually less experienced than any othersC. children can adapt more easily and quickly than grown-upsD. children can adapt as easily and quickly as grown-ups泉州中远学校新高一英语测试(M1,U1)高一______班,姓名_____________, 座号_______, 成绩____________第四节:单词拼写(10X1.5)1.

单元检测Unit 1 Teenage LifePassage AWhen Lenore Skenazy let her 9yearold son take the New York subway home by himself 10 years ago,you would have thought that she'd carried out a crime.Now Skenazy started the movement Free Range (放养的) Kids to bring up safe and independent children.Just this month,Utah became a freerange state,changing its law to protect parents from being charged with neglect (疏忽)for letting their kids walk alone,or wait in a car for an adult.Skenazy argues that the risks of giving children some freedom are exaggerated (夸大).Skenazy's mother used to send her outside at 5 to walk to school.That was just normal back then.And suddenly we hear stories about parents getting punished for letting their 10yearold play outside.We get so used to not knowing our neighbors,not letting our kids walk to school,or play outside,that nowadays,the kids are either in a car or in the backyard,and they don't get to know the neighborhood.In fact,the world has become safer.We have the technologies to keep track of almost everything our kids do.And so you think you must control them,and you think your child is something that has to be tracked like a package.The famous case for many parents was the Etan Patz case in New York in 1979.Patz's parents gave him permission for the first time to walk to the bus stop nearby.He was killed.The story is so terrible that we remember it two generations later.And we don't allow our kids to walk alone because of one terrible thing that happened 39 years ago.But we don't say,“I want to drive you to the dentist,but what if we get in a car accident?

Even when theyare not with their friends,they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone.This communication(交流)is very important in children's growing up,because friends can discuss (讨论) something.These things are difficult to tell their family members.However,parents often try to choose their children's friends for them.Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don't like?Your_answers_are_welcome.5.When teenagers have something that is difficult to tell their parents,they usually ________.A.stay alone at homeB.fight with their parentsC.discuss it with their friendsD.go to their brothers and sisters for help6.The sentence “Your answers are welcome.” means that ________.A.you are welcome to discuss the questions with usB.we've got no idea,so your answers are welcomeC.your answers are always rightD.you can give us all the right answers7.Which of the following is the author's opinion?A.Parents should choose friends for their children.B.Children should choose everything they like.C.Parents should understand their children better.D.Teenagers should only go to their friends for help.Passage CEvery year you collect a large amount of junk.Think about Christmas presents,birthday presents and holiday souvenirs,and the list goes on.Where does it all end up? Well,if you don't throw it out,it goes to the basement (地下室).However,things with huge amounts of value might be buried in those unwanted gifts.Perhaps there's a beautiful crystal boat in a bottle that was made just long enough ago to be worth a large amount of money.Or,maybe it's an old board game that was never used and has now become a collectable.Yes,these items can be your ticket to a hidden treasure,and all you need to do is go hunting.Once you find the items,you'll probably be wondering how to sell them.Most people choose the standard yard sale and this,of course,is a mistake.You won't find the collectors by this type of sale.Instead,you need to reach the widest audience possible.The answer? eBay.With eBay,you can gain a large amount of attention,start an auction (拍卖)and get selling.Of course,before you can do this,you have to set yourself up as a trusted seller.You can do that quite simply by buying a few small,cheap items first.This will raise the rating (等级) of your little online shop.After that,you should have no trouble at all attracting buyers.Of course,this can just be the beginning.Once you know how to sell things online,you can start making a lot more money by investing and reselling.It's a great choice for a second income.8.According to the text,the gifts we get every year ________.A.are a waste of moneyB.can be valuable sometimesC.should go to yard salesD.should be kept in a safe place9.Why does the author suggest selling your things on eBay?A.It's designed for collectors.B.It follows official standards.C.It has a much larger audience.D.It seldom makes any mistakes.10.What do you have to do before selling things on eBay?A.Gain public attention.B.Buy some expensive things.C.Attend several local auctions.D.Raise your shop's credit rating.11.What's the main purpose of the text?A.To advise people to keep their gifts well.B.To tell people how to make waste useful.C.To persuade people to open an online shop.D.To encourage people to sell things on eBay.Passage DLouis Edwards was in his bedroom watching a video with his brothers Bradley,eight,and threeyearold Jake,when Jake swallowed a coin.Jake was fighting for breath,so Louis ordered Bradley to fetch their mother.But when Jake began to turn purple,Louis realized there was no time to waste.He put Jake over his knee and slapped (拍击) him on the back four times.Jake coughed up the coin just as their parents arrived.Mrs.Edwards said,“Bradley was screaming in fear when he came running downstairs,saying that Jake had swallowed something and wasn't breathing.When we burst into the room,Louis was still hitting Jake's back and he was really purple.Then Jake threw up and brought the coin back.Louis just said it was a good job that Jake had thrown up at that point or that he would have had to do the fifth slap in the stomach,which he had been shown at the hospital.I was shaking like a leaf but Louis was quite calm about it.” Mr.Edwards added,“It was lucky that he was there because Jake was in some difficulty.”Apart from shock,however,Jake was fine after that terrible experience.Louis had been to the Countess of Chester Hospital with 50 other students from Woodfield Primary School.During the visit,they were given lifesaving advice,including what to do if someone is choking.Mrs.Edwards said,“He obviously remembered everything and I'm so glad he did.” Diane Kennedy,his head teacher,said,“We are very proud of Louis for his quick thinking.”12.What did Louis realize he should do when Jake began to turn purple?A.Go to find their parents immediately.B.Learn some firstaid skills at once.C.Take quick action by himself.D.Find the coin by himself.13.When the mother arrived at the room,she ________.A.tried hard to stay calmB.felt nervous and worriedC.didn't think Jake was in dangerD.didn't know what had happened14.Why did Louis know how to give first aid?A.He had taken a course at school.B.He had learned how to do that by himself.C.He had learned some skills at a hospital.D.His parents had taught him how to do that.15.What can we learn from the text?A.Parents shouldn't leave their kids alone.B.Parents shouldn't let kids play with coins.C.Having a brother or a sister is a lucky thing.D.Learning firstaid skills is of great benefit.Passage EHow to cheer others upIt is nice to help a friend,family member,or partner out when he or she is feeling down.Here are some easy ways to cheer him or her up.Just listen.Generally speaking,people who are feeling down would rather be alone.__16__ All that most of us need from time to time is the space to vent (发泄感情) feelings on someone who will simply listen without responding or offering a solution.Offer to give advice.__17__ It is as simple as asking,“Would you like my advice?” or “Would you like to know what I think?”__18__ Your friend will appreciate not only that you have advice to offer,but that you respect them by asking permission first.__19__Sometimes,being there for your friends is all they need.Whether your friend is having a bad day or a bad month,just taking time out of your week to spend time together can make a difference.Make them laugh.We are not natural comedians (喜剧演员) but that is okay.Even without being a professional comedian,we all have the ability to make our loved ones laugh.__20__A.Reduce their stress.B.Spend time with them.C.Ask for permission before you offer your advice.D.Something as simple as a hug can change a person's day.E.In that case,listening is a very important step to cheering someone up.F.If they say yes,go ahead and gently offer the advice you have for them.G.Telling a joke,making a funny face or just smiling big enough can make your friends laugh.B.Cloze.Costello was afraid of homeless people.“I was so __1__

Fees range from 6,132 pounds per term for day pupils to 7,665 pounds per term for boarders (寄宿生).“We are introducing classes on happiness,” said Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College. “We have been focusing too much on academics (学术) and missing something far more important.”A psychologist (心理学家) will be in charge of a pilot project teaching “happiness lessons” from the start of the next academic year. Pupils aged 14 to 16 will be given one lesson a week, learning skills such as how to manage relationships, physical and mental health, negative emotions and how to achieve one’s goals.The college’s religious education staff (成员) will teach the course as a complement (辅助) to, rather than a substitute (替代) for, usual religious education classes, said Seldon, who is also a political critic and writer.“To me, the most important job of any school is to turn out young men and women who are happy an d secure (可靠的).” explained Seldon. “Celebrity, money and possessions are too often the touchstones for teenagers and yet these are not where happiness lies. Our children need to know that as societies become richer, they don’t become happier — a fact regul arly shown by social science research.”36. Wellington school is to offer students classes on happiness because ______.A. students want to learn more about materialism and celebrity obsessionB. students have poor knowledge about materialism and celebrity obsessionC. students are often unhappy about the courses taught at schoolD. the school wants to smooth away the bad effects caused by materialism and celebrity obsession37. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Wellington College has been focusing much attention on happiness lessons.B. Science research shows that the richer people are, the happier they will become.C. British teenagers often judge things by celebrity, money and possessions.D. Happiness lessons will take the place of religious education classes in college.38. In happiness lessons, students learn the following except ______.A. how to get along with othersB. how to become rich and famousC. how to get rid of negative emotionD. how to keep healthy both in physical and mental waysB“I’m seventy years old,” says the gray-haired lady proudly to the entertainer (演艺人员) at her Community Club dinner.“Did you hear that, everyone?” says the entertainer. “This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn’t look a day over fifty.”He has been careful not to use the word “old”. In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Americans prefer not to say “old” people. They use the expression “senior citizens”. They do not talk about “old people’s” homes, but “retirement” homes.In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the US are living longer and longer. In1980, 12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. One reason for this is that families are getting smaller. The average couple now has only 1.8 children. At the same time, improved medical care means that people are living longer.This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the elderly people’s medical bills that have gone up very much. Some old people have to leave hospital “sicker and quicker” than they should, before they are really better.More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of them refuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age.There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald (秃的) heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles (皱纹) disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It’s worth any money to look younger.39. In America people try to avoid using the word “old” because ______.A. the old age is seen as something that isn’t a dmiredB. it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly peopleC. the standard (标准) of getting old has changedD. the change in the age has caused a health problem40. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT describe the American society correctly?A. People live longer because of improved medical care.B. The government finds it difficult to afford the medical bills of the elderly.C. People use polite expressions when talking about old age.D. The old patients’ time in hospital is strictly limited.41. This passage is most probably taken from ______.A. a travel bookletB. a magazineC. an advertisementD. a medical reportCAfter an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where previously there had been “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns (长袍) and high collars (领子). And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.42. The writer ______.A. had no difficulty in recognizing his old schoolB. found it difficult to recognize his old schoolC. noticed that the building was still unfinishedD. was surprised to see an untidy gravel yard43. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. He had expected that the school had completely changed.B. In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.C. There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it.D. An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.44. “Mr G hastly” must be ______.A. the writer’s teacherB. a serious old manC. the strict headmasterD. a naughty boy45. From what is said in the passage it seems clear the writer ______.A. disapproved of all the changes that had taken placeB. felt sorry for the children in the schoolC. was glad that the school was still the sameD. felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot四、句型转换 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)46.
