云南省曲靖市曲靖一中2021-2021年秋季期末高一英语上学期期末试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40）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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

[A]It’s November now and Christmas is on the way. What would be a better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies1. The Grinch (2000)This is a Christmas must-watch. It was originally (最初) a children’s book written by Dr. Seuss, which I would suggest reading! It’s the story of a green monster (怪兽) who wants to destroy Christmas but who in the end discovers the power of love. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.2. Love Actually (2003)While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK love this film. It features (由……主演) famous actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. It might be a little difficult to follow, but the heart-warming story makes it worth watching.3. Home Alone (1990)This is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation. While the family are away, burglars (窃贼) try to break into the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy outsmart two grown men.4. Miracle on 34th Street (1994)You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is really touching. It’s about a man who says he is Santa Claus, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age.21. Which movie is based on a children’s bookA. The Grinch.B. Love Actually.C. Home Alone.D. Miracle on 34th Street.22. What does the author think of Miracle on 34th StreetA. It is his favourite movie.B. It is funny and touching.C. It is a little difficult to follow.D. It is suitable for people of all ages.23. What do the four movies have in commonA. All can make you laugh out loud.B. All are newly-made movies.C. All are related to Christmas.D. All tell stories about kids.[B]“Life is about daring to carry out your ideas,” said Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner.One of the best-known living mountaineers, now 74, Messner became the first personto climb Mount Qomolangma alone and without the help of bottled oxygen (氧气) in 1980.He also became, in 1986, the first to reach the world’s 14 mountain tops of over 8,000 meters, again without bottled oxygen.Along the way, he has practiced a special style of mountaineering known as alpinism, in which climbers try to reach the top with as little material (材料) and outside help as possible.But it is an art that is increasingly getting lost — today’s climbers depend on Sherpas (local guides for climbers in the Himalayas) and ready-made routes to reach the top, Messner said.“The true alpinist doesn’t want such help. He wants to go into the wild,” he said.His achievements have made him a great hero, but Messner says he has gotten into plenty of dangerous situations along the way too.“Around half of the top alpinists have died climbing,” he said.“Of course, if I turn back more often than the others, I can increase my chances of survival,” he added. “But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”Messner later moved on to different challenges (挑战), crossing the Gobi Desert and Antarctica.He is also a writer and was in Frankfurt to present his latest book, “Wild”, telling the true story of a 1916 Antarctic expedition (探险).Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one, which is set in Kenya, Africa, and tells the story of two climbers who run into trouble and are faced with life-changing situations.After a lifetime of following his next dream, he believes film-making will be his final project.“I was always at my best when I was learning, when I was curious (求知的),” he said.24. What is special about true alpinistsA. They can reach the top quickly.B. They try to depend on themselves.C. They follow ready-made routes.D. They often work with local guides.25. What helped Messner survive dangerous situationsA. Good luck.B. Belief.C. Good skills.D. Courage.26. What does Messner tell us about the story of his new filmA. It is very interesting.B. It happens in Africa.C. It is based on his latest book.D. It records his true experiences.27. What is the text mainly aboutA. A new film.B. A new book.C. A great alpinist.D. A great expedition.[C]★★★☆☆You might have noticed that the ringing sound of basketballs was almost like the beat to a song. But did you know that it could be taken seriously as musicThe music group STOMP has taken everyday objects and turned them intoinstruments. The music it has created is a hit all over the world.STOMP was formed by British musicians Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. They met in the early 1980s when they were both working as buskers, the British term for street performers. Cresswell and McNicholas were part of a busking group called Pookiesnackenburger that became very popular throughout Britain.Cresswell was a drummer (鼓手) for the group. Because they performed on the street, he could not set up a traditional drum set. Instead, he wore one drum that hung around his shoulders. To be able to make different sounds, Cresswell began beating on everyday objects that he could find during performances. This creative drumming led to the idea for STOMP.STOMP made its first public appearance at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre in 1991. The performers used one-of-a-kind instruments, such as empty water bottles, basketballs, and matchboxes to create music. Wearing overalls and T-shirts, they danced around on a stage made to look like a closed warehouse (仓库). STOMP was a great success, winning many theater awards and drawing huge crowds (人群).In 1994, STOMP came to the United States and played at the Orpheum Theater in New York City. Years later it is still playing there! To celebrate its ten-year anniversary (周年纪念), the then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg renamed the street outside the theater STOMP Avenue.STOMP has now toured all over the United States and most of the world.

Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worries me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media (媒体). Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨),” but now they’re seeing the positives (优势). “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2021 state-of-play.”32.

What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary SchoolA. Some teachers were against it at first.B. Students can now see the good of the ban.C. Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.34. What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer toA. A book.B. A notebook.C. A learning website.D. A kind of computer.35. What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schoolsA. It will disconnect parents and kids.B. It will cause kids to communicate less.C.
