AOne day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate(adj.拼死的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted(adj.精疲力竭的) was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.1.

In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.He lp them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you d on’t want t o stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!______ — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy.

Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you be cause your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years.

"She is active and mature (成熟的) . We found she's the verystyle we're looking for to represent young people's attitudes." You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of anEnglish broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praisedfor speaking English almost like a native speaker.In Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school. "I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films," she said. So she wrote acampus (校园) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, allin English. "I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every singleday during the SARS holidays," she recalled.

In the same century, in 1845, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started. At that time there were around 2 000 beehives in the city. After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping has become popular again recently. Now there are over 700 hives in Paris, which are actually on the roots of famous Parisian buildings and hotels and restaurants,City bees make three to five times more honey than country bees. This may be because there are no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris. French beekeepers in the countryside lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes. However, beekeepers in the city lose less than five percent.That’s interesting, you might be thinking, but isn’t there a lot of pollution in Paris? In fact, pollution does not seem to influence the honey. Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution and none were found.As for the taste, Parisian bees have many kinds of flowers and plants to choose from. In the countryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant. The flowers in Paris give the honey a special taste. But Parisian honey is quite expensive. One pound costs about USD 65.Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems. For example, if there are too many hives in onearea, the bees might not have enough food. So beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives. Another problem is bees in restaurants. One beekeeper had to take his hives away from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from the flowers indoors. However, technology can be used to check on the hives, with cameras and microphone.28. What can we know according to paragraph 1?A. Beekeeping was very popular before 1800.B. Parisians keep bees on the roofs of buildings.C. Beekeeping was a subject in all schools.D. There are. 2000 hives in Paris at present29. What does the underlined word"This"in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Starting the beekeeping schoolB. A decreasing number of beehivesC. City bees' producing more honey than country bees.D. Parisian bees’ suffering more harm than country bees.30. What is the advantage of Parisian honey mentioned in the passageA. It has a unique taste.B. It has a low price.C. It has a special color.D. It has a trademark.31. What is the purpose of this text?A. To recommend Parisian honeyB. To remember Napoleon BonaparteC. To offer some ways of beekeepingD. To introduce Parisian beekeepingDGetting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. Butthe latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated aging". Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.32. What does the latest research show?A. The speed of walking is a sign of aging.B. Regular exercise is good for our health.C. Slower walkers tend to he younger.D. Walking 10,000 steps a day is helpful.33. How did the researchers get the result?A. By carrying our surveysB. By searching information on the InternetC. By doing tests on some peopleD. By performing experiments in the lab34. What can we know about slower walkers according to paragraph 3?A. Their teeth were in better shape.B. Their faces looked younger.C. They should try to exercise less.D. They had smaller brains35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Forever youngB. Slow walking and aging.C. Slow LifeD. Walk slowly, Live happily.第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2022年湖南省株洲市第十八中学高一英语模拟试卷含解析一、选择题1. I’m afraid we can’t have coffee; there’s _________ left.A. nothingB. no oneC. noneD. no any参考答案：C2. On July 18th,2013,the giant panda,Hua Mei,________ in the WoLong Center,gave birth to a male baby panda,__________92g.A. risen; weighingB. raises; weighsC. raised; weighingD. raising; weighed参考答案：C考查动词。

句意：2013年7月18日，由武隆熊猫基地抚养的大熊猫华美产下了一个雄性熊猫宝宝，重达92克。

分析句子结构发现，句子已经有了谓语动词，因此两个空都要填非谓语动词；第一空，找到动词的逻辑主语是panda，和动词raise（养育）之间是被动的，被人来养育的，故是用过去分词来表示被动，raised；第二空weigh这个动词表称重时，用主动形式表示，故只有现在分词，没有过去分词，因此填weighing，故最后答案为C。

They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers.The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor andstreets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, "4" is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word"four" is pronounced the same as the word "death" .Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and "8" is considered a lucky number inJapan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married ateight past eight on August 8.Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people--called numerologist--make a living by givingadvice about numbers.In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if"Toyoda" would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that"Toyota" would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of peopledrive "Toyota" and not "Toyoda" .There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing anditching(抓痒). There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions will tell people how to reverse bad luck.When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, thefirst-bump means their parents will die, but the second bump "erases" the first bumpTo reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats onbackwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It lookssilly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.28．It can be inferred that superstitions about numbers are .A．popular neither in Japan nor in ChinaB．popular only in Japan and in ChinaC．popular both in Japan and in ChinaD．causing great troubles both in Japan and in China29．The underlined word " reverse " means .A．change to bad luck B．cause to go in the opposite directionC．change for the worse D．exchange30．If a Japanese purposely bumps his head again after an accidental bump, we can be sure that .2A．he is mad B．he is happy C．he is superstitious D．he is very sad31．The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of .A．persuading us to believe superstitionsB．showing us some facts of superstitionsC．showing us the magic power of numberD．showing us a numerologistD篇Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.1.The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.A.application. loss.damage. improvement.2.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______________________.A.Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.Phone users can make more money with new networks.The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Cell phone use and safety warnings .Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems.Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens.Facts about cell phone use at school.第三部分知识运用（共三节，满分65分）第一节完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。

ARichie Kraus thinks all kids should receive birthday presents.And he's willing to give up his own presents to make that happen.W hen Richie was six, he helped collect holiday gifts for childrenwhose families couldn't afford presents. He started thinking about howmuch he liked getting presents on his birthday. He asked his mom, "Ifwe get kids presents during the holidays, who gets them presents ontheir birthdays?"Richie wanted to raise money for those birthday presents. So his mom helped him create the 2U Fund. The name 2U came from the well-known song "Happy Birthday to You."Richie explains how the fund works: "On our birthdays, we ask our friends to make a donation instead of giving us presents." Richie attaches a special sticker to his party invitations. The s ticker tells about the 2U Fund and invites guests to participate, Richie and his mom then give the money to a local charity that has agreed to partner with them. The people at the charity make sure the donations go toward birthday presents for kids in need.Richie has had three 2U parties. "It just feels really, really good to help other kids," he says.Richie has encouraged others to try giving up some of their birthday presents to help others. His younger brother, Max, had a 2U party. Some of Richie's friends did, too. He also spoke about the idea at a summer camp and at a school assembly (集会). "There were close to 200 students and teachers in the assembly," Richie' s teacher, Janel McCormick, says. "They all wanted to help support 2U."Since Richie and his family started the 2U Fund, dozens of kids have helped raise more than $7,000.

I had never been to Balboa Island, even though it is only about an hour from my home in northern San Diego.Our first stop was for a specialty called a "Balboa Bar". It is a famous chocolate coveredice cream on a stick, created many years ago. As we drove along the streets toward the boat, I also saw some interesting buildings that stood for many years. Many of the building designs seemed like dollhouses and someone in our group said that the style was called, Victorian.After we parked our car on one of the streets, we got on the boat sailing to Balboa Peninsula. As I looked around the boat, I saw a bird flying very close to the water and our boat. A little girl near the boat' s edge jumped out to touch it and shockingly fell into the water! Her dad, who stood nearby, jumped in after her at once and everyone on the boat ran to help. The boat's engine stopped and both father and daughter got saved with the help of people on the boat.On Balboa Peninsula my family and I went to various shops, especially for food! We saw a restau rant at the very end. We enjoyed our lunch there, at the first Ruby's Diner ever opened in southern California. Although I have been to other restaurants of this popular chain (连锁店), being at the very first is a great memory.On our way back to Balboa island we stopped at the huge Ferris Wheel, bought some sugars and played games. I t was an exciting afternoon walking around on Balboa Island. I look forward to returning soon to spend some time on the beach again or maybe even to try fishing!27. "Balboa Bar" is the name ofA. a streetB. a restaurantC. a foodD. a building28. What happened on the boat to Balboa Peninsula?A. A little girl fell into the riverB. The boat broke down halfway.C. People helped a girl catch a bird.D. A father quarreled with his daughter.29. The author' s dining experience at the first Ruby' s Diner wasA. boringB. interestingC. unpleasantD. unforgettable30. What did the author do on Balboa Island?A. He went fishing by the river.B. He walked along the beach.C. He rode the Ferris wheel.D. He bought some dolls.31. What' s the best title for the text?A. My trip to BalboaB. The first Ruby' s DinerC. My first boat rideD. Victorian buildingsDAsk any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat,and foods like pizza, burgers and chips are always mentioned.But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what theyshould be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition (营养) Survey, far too many young people in the UK between theages of 4 and 18 eat too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet andtake in too many calories. And their intake of starchy carbohydrates(含淀粉的碳水化合物), fibre, iron,vitamins and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is very important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also good to eat.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (根深蒂固的), so it is important that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, in order to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, chef Jamie Oliver started a "Feed Me Better" project. As part of a tele vision series, "Jamie' s School Dinners", he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more nutritious school meals. Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first, the project went very well and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like "Feed Me Better" continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily.32. What problem do teenagers in the UK have?A. Most of them are too fat.B. Most of them eat too little.C. Many of them don' t eat healthily.D. Many of them are short of exercise.33.

the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources（ DWR ）shared a video of them doing just that． In the video， the small fish erupt from the bottom of an airplane into the water． It might seem like the fall from the plane would result in a fatal（致命的）end for the fish， but the Utah DWR explained that at least 95 percent of the fish are expected to survive， "That s because the young fish are so small ﹣only 1 to 3 inches（2.5 to 7.6 centimeters ）long﹣that they fall to the water like leaves， "said Phil Tuttle the outreach manager for the southern region office of the Utah DWR．The pilot lies just above the tree line to drop the fish， or as low as possible while considering other natural barriers like cliffs and mountains， "Tuttle old Live Science in an email． Years of netting surveys（collecting fish in a net and counting them and decades of recreational fishing suggest the fish do all right after the drop． Utah DWR staff members have also conducted netting surveys within minutes of a drop to check survival rates．More than 200 of Utah's remote mountain lakes are stocked every year using this aerial（航空）fish﹣drop method． The lakes are often far from any road and can take a long time to reach by land， which makes land transports more stressful for the fish compared with aerial transportsMost of the stocked lakes would be fishless， were it not for the DWR 's stocking efforts． The DWR primarily stocks lakes with sterile fish so they can control the population and minimize（减至最小）their impact on native wildlife species． The most common species to make these lights are various species of trout（鲑鱼）．（1）What is the possible reason for the high survival rate of the fish？A． Their thick skinB， Their small sizeC． Their strong body．D． Their good appetite（2）How can Utah DWR get to know the survival rates of the fish？A． By doing netting surveysB． By counting natural barriersC． By recording the drop heightD． By holding fishing（3）Why do Wildlife officials in Utah drop fish from airplanes？A It's the cheapest way availableB． The lakes are unreachable by landC． It's better for the fish than land transportsD． They want to train the fish in a special way（4）What does the underlined word "sterile "in the last paragraph probably mean？A． Fierce and aggressiveB． Unable to produce babiesC． Completely free from bacteriaD． Energetic and good at jumping14．（8分）Remember those slow snails you often see on the ground after a rainy day？Well， these animals have made headlines recently with an astonishing discovery by UCLA researchers who were able to transfer（转移） memories from one snail to another!They experimented with sea snails because they have impressive memory habits and large neurons（神经元）which make them easier to work with． Dr． David Glanzman，who led the experiment，believes that RNA located in our brain cells is responsible for long﹣term memory． This went against the well﹣established belief that long term memory was stored in the brain's neuron synapses（突触）． For the experiment， scientists trained certain snails to develop a defensive reaction by contracting（收缩）whenever they were pushed． Originally， the action would last for a few seconds， but by consistently shocking the snails， theircontracting period grew to last a lot longer， up to 50 seconds． Then， they took RNA from brain cells of the trained snails and put them in untrained cells． When these new cells were put back into the untrained snails， these sea snails started exhibiting immediate behaviors that were as if they had been trained to develop long defensive reactions !This was shocking as these memories were extremely specific． This showed that RNA transfer might influence our memory by finishing a memory transfer． David Glanzman believes once we get a deeper insight on how memory functions， it can help us better understand illnesses that are deeply affected by our memories and how we react to past experiencesHowever， Glanzman's experiment is still highly controversial as many believe that the human brain is much more complex than those of the snails and that we may not find similar associations such as memory transfer． There is still much to discover about how our brains function and Glanzman's experiment just proves the mystic and interesting possibilities of the brain．（1）Why did the researchers choose sea snails to experiment with？A． Their memories are stored in neuron synapses．B． Their RNA is responsible for long﹣term memoryC． Their memory is stronger than that of other animalsD Their characteristics are suitable for the experiment．（2）Which shows the correct order of the experiment stages？①Put RNA into untrained brain cells②Untrained snails seem to have been trained③Trained snails show longer defensive period④Take RNA from the brain cells of trained snails⑤Certain snails are consistently pushed⑥Put cells with trained RNA into untrained snailsA．②⑤③④⑥①B．②①⑤④⑥③C．⑤④①③⑥②D．⑤③④①⑥②（3）In what field does David Glanzman think his experiment might be useful？A． Understanding past experienceB． Strengthening children's memoryC． Learning about memory﹣related diseases．D． Improving other animals' memory habits（4）Many people disapprove of the conclusion of the experiment becauseA． the human brain is much more complexB． some memories can never be transferredC． human memory has much more informationD． the human brain shouldn't be used in such experiments第二节（毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture， there are many benefits that a student can get with an

She asked how it could he done so that she could be anonymous（匿名的）．I told her that she could buy a gift card and that I would open up a registerand just ring all of them up on one ticket． She agreed and wondered how much of a card to buy，﹩500 or ﹩600， Looking around and seeing that they were just buying sandwiches and drinks， I thought that was too much． She ended up purchasingone for ﹩300 and said if there was anything left， she would come back in at a later date to pick it up．I opened a register and announced for all soldiers to come through check stand No． 1． The customer quickly left the store． As the young men and women began to come through with their purchases． they all had their wallets out and I got to tell them that all their purchases had been paid for! I let them know where the generosity came from and they all said thank you and addressed me as， Sir． As it turned out， that was only a small portion of the military that was about to enter our store． They just kept coming and coming． Other members of our community saw what was going on and that the tab（待付账单）had easily surpass d（超过） the ﹩300 and began handing me money to cover the rest． The total tab ended up well over double what the amazing customer started with her contribution． However， after accepting the rest of the funds from the other generous donations， there was still over ﹩230 leftI was deeply moved by people ' s love and support for those who serve our country．（1）Why did the customer buy a gift card for just ﹩300？ AA． She thought that would be enoughB． She didn't have more money with herC． She was not so satisfied with the authorD． She would come back later to pay more．（2）How did the soldiers feel after being told that all their purchases were paid for？ DA． Nervous but joyfulB． Shocked and angry．C． Frightened but satisfiedD． Surprised and grateful．（3）Who paid for the rest part of the tab？ BA． The soldier who came last．B． Other members of the community。
