第一学期期末试卷高一英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项，并把答案填写在答题卡上相应的位置。

AJust because a cat can’t see, it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the great outdoors.Patrick Carl, a 28-year-old filmmaker from Cork City, Ireland, proved that in a beautiful video, in which he climbs a mountain with his blind cat, Stevie, at his side.To ensure Stevie’s safety, Carl has had to train her to walk on a leash (皮带) when she goes outside.“It took a lot of patience to do this thing,” Carl told The Huffington Post. He said walking on the leash is now “the norm” for her —“she makes it look so easy.”“I think Stevie is a very good cat and I wanted to capture (用镜头捕捉) how I truly felt about her and share that with the world in a meanin gful way,” Carl said.Carl got Stevie from Cork’s Animal Care Society about three years ago, after seeing an ad on social media saying that Stevie needed a home with a patient owner who could give her special care. In an earlier video about Stevie, Carl says that he has to make sure he keeps everything in his house in the exact same place so as to not confuse the blind cat.Carl explained that he was never really a cat person, but Stevie has changed him. “That’s not to say I didn’t like cats,” he said. “It’s just that up until I met Stevie, cats didn’t really take up any of my time. But now, it’s safe to say, I’ve been changed.”He added that Stevie is just one of many animals that have been rescued from shelters or on the streets. “She wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for the unbelievable hard work of the Animal Care Society in Cork,” he said.1. What is wrong with the cat, Stevie?A. She is too fat to do exercise.B. She was once badly treated.C. She is blind and can’t see.D. She doesn’t like to go outside.2. Why does Carl tie a leash on Stevie?A. To avoid someone stealing her.B. To make sure she is safe while walking.C. To make sure she can walk easily.D. To avoid losing her when walking.3. Why does Carl arrange everything in the same place?A. He doesn’t want Stevie to make a mess.B. He wants to be more patient.C. He wants to train Stevie to get smarter.D. He wants to give Stevie a familiar home.4. What was Carl like before he met Stevie?A. He had never had a cat.B. He was very interested in cats.C. He didn’t like cats very much.D. He didn’t feel very safe.BIf your childhood memories are filled with summers spent chasing fireflies (萤火虫), then you’re going to love this new theme park in China. It is dedicated to the glowing insects that naturally light up their habitat at night.The park, located at the East Lake Peony Gard en in Wuhan City, central China’s Hubei Province, is home to about 10,000 fireflies. The insects are divided into five separate zones —the flying zone, the observation zone, the zero-distance contact zone, the breeding zone, and the science popularization (普及) zone. Each zone is meant to satisfy different categories of visitors, right from casual visitors to researchers.Breeding fireflies is a rather costly affair — around 10 yuan (US$1.61) per insect — but totally worth it from a business point of view, as the Chinese seem to be positively in love with them. They will pay a large amount of money to see the small insects twinkle at night, and tickets for such parks are usually sold out in several days as soon as they hit the market.Fireflies were a normal part of summer nights through most of China, but their numbers have been going down for years, as a result of pollution and destruction of their natural habitats. Taking advantage of this sad situation, businessmen have been setting up firefly parks (not all of them are environmentally friendly, and some even sell jars full of live fireflies online).Since fireflies are seasonal, the park opened on May 29 this year and continued to operate until early October. However, following the success it enjoyed this year, the Wuhan firefly park has become an annual event, and will open again next year.They’ve got lots of attractions at the park — dinosaur exhibitions, camping festivals, family walks and children’s activities, all held under the warm glow of fireflie s.5. The underlined phrase, “is dedicated to”, in the first paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. is limited toB. is designed forC. is put up withD. is separated from6. If you want to know about the habits of fireflies, which zone should you go to?A. The flying zone.B. The breeding zone.C. The science popularization zone.D. The zero-distance contact zone.7. Why is the number of fireflies becoming smaller and smaller these years?A. Because it is hard to breed fireflies.B. Because they are killed for research.C. Because their natural habitats are being destroyed.D. Because they have all been collected in the theme park.8. What can we learn about this new theme park?A. It consists of four separate zones.B. It operates all the year around.命题人：王秀平C. All the fireflies in it are displayed in jars.D. It gained fame after it was opened.CWhen you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native (当地的) classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.While you can study abroad in France and concentrate on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numb ers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer:●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French arti sts such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;●Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;● Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;● The post-modern housing development, Marne-la-Vallee.History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D-Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of World War II.As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.9. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?A. Students from China are usually treated badly.B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.C. Few students choose to study in France.D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.10. According to the text, you can see many kinds of architecture in France, such as ____.① post-modern housing developments② Baroque style buildings③ the Big Ben④ Gothic architectureA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④11. The text is most likely taken from _______.A. a history bookB. a study abroad websiteC. an architecture advertisementD. a fashion magazineD“When something is lovely, do we get the urge to squeeze（挤扁）it?” National Geographic’s Emily Tye asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, in terms of evolution (进化)!”“Rest assured (毫无疑问)”, Emily said. “You’re not alone.”In a 2015 study in Psychological Science, Yale University psychologist Oriana Aragon and her team found that people who had extremely positive reactions to images of cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive（侵略性的）expressions,” such as wa nting to pinch (捏) the babies’ cheeks.Speaking of pinching, another experiment in the recent study found that participants squeezed more bubble wrap when they saw images of cute baby animals than those who viewed images of older animals.This shows that, if given the chance to squeeze something while seeing the cute pictures, they would — though not with any real intent to harm the creatures.So what explains our impulse（冲动）to squeeze or gently bite lovely animals? For some people, experiencing a strong e motion is followed by “an expression of what one would think is an opposing feeling,” says Aragon. Here’s the science behind why we find some animals so cute.“So you may have tears of joy, nervous laughter, or may be wanting to squeeze something that you think is unbearably cute” —even if it’s an animal you’d normally want to hug or protect.That secondary reaction may also serve to weaken and temper (调和) their initial emotion that is too strong, thus bringing the person into balance.For instance, the 2015 study showed people who had such positive and negative concurrent (并存的) reactions regained their emotional balance more quickly.And if you’re caring for something lovely, that’s important. “Because they may help people to regain control over their strong emotions, these expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby properly,” Aragon says.12. People who act very positively towards something tend to ____________________.A. lose controlB. destroy the thingC. cause harm to the thingD. express themselves in an aggressive way13. What usually follows if one experiences a strong emotion?A. A strong expression.B. A serious thought.C. An opposite feeling.D. An unbelievable impulse.14. What may be the reason for people crying when they are overjoyed?A. To be more positive and stronger.B. To express their different emotions.C. To strengthen their various emotions.D. To balance their emotions better.15. The article explains its theory by ________.A. giving examplesB. analyzing figuresC. listing dataD. making descriptions第二节（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。

In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商）of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载）their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied.

He was about ten years old. His parents were dead when he was eight. He had to make a living himself. Every afternoon, he walked around the village selling his cooking oil. He carried the oil in a small wooden basin.After he sold all of his oil one afternoon, he was very tired. He thought that he would have a rest. He left his wooden basin under a tree, put the money in it and fell asleep.About two hours later, he woke up because of hunger. He looked into the basin and found that his money was gone. He was very worried.He went at once to see a judge. The judge listened to the boy’s story very carefully. He thought for a while, and then said to the men in his office, “Go and get all the villagers here.”When all the villagers came, he said to them, “ The boy is an orphan. He had lost his money. We should help him.” Then he asked thateveryone should put a coin into the water in a big basin. About half of the people had put their coins into the water. ”wait a minute,” the judge said, “You took away the boy’s money. You see ,after you put your coin into the water, some oil came up to the top. Your money must have been taken from the oil basin.”( )9.

Families may prepare traditional dinners for holidays such as New Year’s and Thanksgiving. Birthdays and other special days are often times for baking special cakes. Even celebrations famous only in small areas, such as memorial days for a place or event, can be a time for proud cooks to show of the food that they make the best. Sometimes this food may seem a little strange to the rest of us.Weddings are celebrations where food is often an important part ofthe ceremony or party. Of course, the kinds of the prepared for wedding are different all around the world. One kind of food enjoyed at wedding in the Middle East and some parts of North Africa by members of the Bedouin tribe is roasted camel. This food is not easy prepare, but when people want to go all for the wedding, they ask the whole tribe to help with the effort. Tribe members first cook an egg mixture which they then put inside cooked fish. The fish are then put inside several cooked chickens. The chickens then get put into roasted sheep. Usually one or two sheep will be enough to fill one roasted camel. One roasted camel serves 20 or 30 people, so this dish may be enjoyed by the entire tribe at the wedding.Chocolate chip cookies may not seem like a very special food, but organizers of the yearly festival which celebrates the city’s birth in Ripon, Wisconsin made one cookie that was very special. On July 11, 1992, festival organizers attempted to bake the largest chocolate chip cookie in the world. Tit took the organizers months of planning and experimentation before they thought up a way to bake the cookie on a large, slowly turning tray. The recipe which the bakers used called for one and a half tons raw cookie dough, made up of a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and milk. They also mixed four million chocolate chips into the dough. The tray was 10 meters(34 feet ) across the middle, and it rotated so that one part of the cooked passed over a low flame that did notmove. The cookie took two and a half hours to bake. Organizers of the festival then cut up the cookie and served it to 8,163 people at the festival.( )12. What two holidays are mentioned in the passage ?A. Christmas and New Year’sB.
