She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted 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.

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraidof him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. S mith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it.I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!28.

山西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(含有答案解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The world is a splendid place, full of hidden and overt beauty in every corner. Here are some of the most beautiful places around the world.Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, UgandaBwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last harbors of the mountain gorilla (大猩猩). Several hundred call this UNESCO World Heritage Site home, with the chance for visitors hike and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants. However -almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.Samburu, KenyaThanks to its relative inaccessibility in the heart of Kenya, Samburu is a haven (避难所) for some of Africa’s most charming wildlife. The grassland and acacia-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered giraffe and zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, ChinaChina’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars (柱子). Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists fall, it’s easy to sea why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings.The MaldivesThe sand of its 1,200 islands is as white as it gets, and the water is a deep blue that puts all other seas in the shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world’s premier tropical hot spot for a reason. Best of all, there are plenty of beaches to go around, with over 100 private resorts and welcoming, affordable guesthouses around the Male and Ari atolls.1．What makes Samburu a haven for wildlife?A．Its landscape. B．Its location.C．Its climate. D．Its food.2．What do Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park have in common?A．They are home to gorillas.B．They have more than 350 bird species.C．They are on the World Heritage Site List.D．They are inspirations for traditional paintings.3．Which of the following suits beach-lovers?A．Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. B．Samburu.C．Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. D．The Maldives.Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He had her since she was young but now had no place for her.The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St, Louis, the rescue team I work with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen (肿胀的) with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.Her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life. I hoped, in her new home!4．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The former owners of the dog.B．Where the dog was treated.C．What the dog needed most.D．The problems the dog met.5．What is the author’s job?A．Training old dogs.B．Treating sick dogs.C．Looking for homes for dogs.D．Looking for lost dogs’ owners.6．How did the author feel on her way to her friend’s home?A．Relieved and happy. B．Nervous and grateful.C．Surprised and curious. D．Hopeful and proud.7．What does the author think of Magdalen’s owner giving her up?A．She didn’t understand his behaviour.B．She believed it was painful for him.C．She was certain he would regret.D．She thought he made a wise decision.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this, tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, bow ever hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can - then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.8．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.9．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A．Before starting a difficult task.B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring.D．After finding a way out.10．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________ . A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution11．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsKite surfing is a sport that takes place on the surface of the water, on top of boards that are similar in design to wakeboards (尾波滑水板), with the surfer pulled by a kite. The popularity of kite surfing has grown, although it is rather difficult to master. Kite surfing uses the same equipment as kite boarding, but is generally given more to riding on top of waves, rather than on smaller lakes or other calm bodies of water.Early experiments in kite transportation took place through the 19th century, and at the dawn of the 20th century Samuel Cody crossed the English Channel using kites and a small boat. Kite surfing itself, however, wasn’t really born until the late 1970s. Beginning in that decade, more people became involved in using kites for personal transport and sport. Kite technology itself advanced enormously during the 1970s, with kites becoming much more controllable.The early kite surfing was rather accidental, but innovators continued to develop the technology to make it easier to control and safer. By the late 1990s, kite surfing was becoming popular off the coast of Maui, France and throughout the world. In 1997, a special kite system was built specifically for kite surfing, which helped kite surfing into the mainstream.Because of the high speeds and the dangers, it is generally recommended that would-be kite surfers take at least a few basic classes to learn the fundamentals.The main attraction of kite surfing is the potential for amazing tricks. The kite allows the surfer to experience enormous jumps, flying through the air for large distances before hitting the water in a controlled fashion. Like skateboarding, kite surfing makes use of a number of board grabs, with complex tricks possible due to the long period of time the surfer can remain in the air.12．What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A．What is kite surfing. B．Where to go kite surfing.C．How to enjoy kite surfing. D．Why people like kite surfing.13．In the 19th century, people intended to use kite for ________.A．sport B．experimentC．entertainment D．transportation14．What can we know from the third paragraph?A．Kite surfing often leads to accidents.B．Maui is home to kite surfing.C．Kite control is the key to kite surfing.D．Kite surfing came into being in the 1990s.15．What is most charming for people surfing?A．Its potential for tricks. B．Its long time in the air.C．Its speed across the water. D．Its big distance over the water.二、七选五Here’s How To Have A Calmer Sunday NightFor most people, the end of the weekend isn’t a welcome time. 16 .

She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted 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.21.

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of himand so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. S mith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!28.

ServiceMuch service is now provided on the Internet such as online banking, job seeking, purchasing tickets for your favorite movies, and hotel reservations.But there are also disadvantages. If you use the Internet, your personal information such as name, address, credit card number, etc. might be accessed by other people. Virus (病毒)threat is another problem. Virus attacks can end up crashing your whole hard disk, causing you much headache. Pornography is perhaps the biggest threat related to children's healthy mental life.

Then they met two old women, “ What are you doing up there, farmer Can’t you see how tired the boy is ” So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead. Next, three old men stopped them, one said, “ Why are you walking, farmer Get up. It’s too hot for an old man like you to walk today,”So the farmer got up behind his son, and they rode on. Some time later, a young woman passed them, “ Why aren’t you walking” she asked, “ It isn’t far to the market. Give your poor horse a rest.” So the farmer, and his son, got down once again.

I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world.Many years later, I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was in Pisa and no Pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The towergot its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over.I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall over, for it is 600 years old. If you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.And who cares Why do people want things to be perfect Imperfect things may be more interesting. Why is the tower in Pisa so famous. People come from all over the world to see it.does the passage mainly talk aboutA. Italian problems.B. Italian pizzaC. The leaning Tower of Pisa.D. The dream about Pisa.7. What did the writer use to think about Pisa______.A. He thought it was not very famous.B. He thought it was in Spain.C. He thought it was not the same as pizza.D.

The leaning Tower of Pisa is the most beautiful in Italy.C. The Tower is the oldest in Italy.D. Some people don’t like it because it leans to one side.9. Why does the writer like the Leaning Tower of PisaA. Because it is very modern.B. Because it is imperfect.C. Because it sells pizza.D. Because it is very old.10. From the passage it can be inferred that_______.A. the writer doesn’t agree to fix the Leaning towerB. the writer agrees to fix the Leaning towerC. many people want the Leaning Tower to be perfectD. many people are afraid the Leaning Tower may fall over五、翻译20分A、汉译英1、你的假期过的怎么样2、你上周末做了什么特别的事吗3、我今天参加了一个面试;4、你是否曾错过了最后一趟回家的火车或公交车5、我喜欢阅读;B、英译汉6、We had great fun7、What kind of music did you like in the past8、Do you have any experience in this field9、How many times have you traveled by air10、I like playing basketball.2014至2015学年度第二学期中专一年级英语期末测试卷答题卡姓名班级得分一、填空20分1、 came2、 read3、was4、 called5、 sang6、didn’t do7、 Did find any 8、How long did stay9、 Was any 10、is your favorite activity二、选择20分1----10 _________BACDA________ BCBAC______11----20 ___________CCBDB________ABDBC_____三、完形填空20分A 1----5 ______________CADCA____________________6----10 __________________DBBAB___________________B 1----5 ___________CBADA_______________________6----10 _________________BAABD___________________四、阅读理解20分1----5 ___________ACBAC________________________6----10 _______________CDABA___________________五、翻译20分A 答案在书上1至5单元日常用语2. _____________________________________________________3. _____________________________________________________4. _____________________________________________________5. _____________________________________________________ B6. _____________________________________________________7. _____________________________________________________8. _____________________________________________________9. _____________________________________________________10. _____________________________________________________。

AFebruary has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a l etter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is a lso popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.21. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.C. Bec ause there wasn’t enough food for so many people.D. Because he wanted to control the birth rate.22. Valentine was put into prison because ______.A. he killed one of the soldiersB. he stole a lot of foodC. he didn’t obey the emperor’s orderD. he didn’t want to be a soldier23. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. students in China send cards to their teachersB. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in ChinaC. it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in ChinaD. Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now24. The best title for this passage should be ______.A. Valentine’s DayB. A Brave PriestC. Valentine’s Day in ChinaD. A Romantic ManBThere are a number of different ways to study a language, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. You may find a combination of these is a best choice for you.If you can find a course in the language you want to learn in your country, this is quite a good way to study. A variety of courses are usually available, including part-time and full-time courses. If you look around, you can probably find a course that suits your needs.The main advantage of such courses is that you’ll have a teacher to provide you with instructions, support and with whom to practice your language. You will also be studying with others who are at more or less the same level and you can exchange ideas with them and help one another.One choice is to study a language in a country where it’s spoken. There are many schools teaching English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, but far fewer teaching other languages. The main advantage of studying abroad is that you are totally in the language, not just in class, but the rest of the time as well. As a result, you can make rapid progress.The main disadvantage of studying abroad is the cost, not just of your course, but also of your food and travel. However, if you’re a native speaker of English, you could get a job teaching English in a country where the language you want to learn is spoken.Studying online is also a good choice.

For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the_third_planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake (烘烤) in the sun. The farthest planets are cold balls.When the earth developed — which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago — many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. That planet is Mars (火星). Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on Mars. You would have to bring your own air to breathe, the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.Mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system. It is sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. The most unexpected (未预测到的) sight on Mars is dried up river beds. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.29. Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?A. The earth is just the right temperature.B. The volcano on earth are lower than those on Mars.C. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.D.
