2015~2016学年度第二学期模块测试高一英语第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共70分）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）AChristmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. ―Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!‖ ―I can’t wait,‖ I said.The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.―Mom, may I talk to you for a second?‖―Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?‖ she asked.And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.―Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!‖ she said with a smile.―Then what am I getting?‖ I asked.She just smiled. ―You’ll have to wait and see.‖The next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...My camera! ―Thank you!‖ I said to both Dad and Mom.Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera —my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.1. The underlined phrase ―dropping hints‖ in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. talking oftenB. suggesting indirectlyC. sending presentsD. taking pictures2. Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.C. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.D. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gi ft for hers.3. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointmentB. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas EveC. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old cameraD. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Christmas gift as wished.B. Love is more important than gifts.C. A wonderful Christmas.D. Love can not be bought.BWhat are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious? Hoping that you’ll learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and you’re not really into it —or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you just went through a breakup.Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what we’re experiencing and help us know how to react. We sense our emotions from the time we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions with facial expressions or with actions like laughing orcrying. They feel and show emotions, but they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting like little kids do, we can identify（定义）what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want! It helps us build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts（冲突）better, and move past difficult feelings more easily.Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes pract ice. But it’s worth the effort.Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence, a skill that can help people succeed in life.5. How do young children react to emotions?A. With laughter and shouts.B. With signs and expressions.C. With facial expressions and actions.D. With gestures of different kinds.6. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _________.A. enables us to live in society more easilyB. lets people understand others betterC. brings about conflicts between peopleD. smooths away difficulties in our life7. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A science fiction.B. An advertisement.C. A science magazine.D. A television show.CEnglish is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. ―The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,‖ he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. ―All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before.‖ he said.8．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.A．remain widespread and importantB．be more important than any other languageC．lose its dominant positionD．die away in the near future9．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.A．more and more language users will choose EnglishB．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the pastC．English language will soon drop in dominanceD．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls10．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.11．What should be the best title for the passage?A．English Remaining in the Dominant PositionB．The Future of English? Who Knows?C．Opinions from Different ExpertsD．The English Language Snowball Rolling DownDInternational students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. But the business must directly provide a service for students. You could work at the bookstore, for example, but not for a company that is building something at the school. Also, a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.International students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. You can work until you finish your studies.International students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their school. But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. Examples include large medical bills, the shortage of financial (财政上的) aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.Students must also meet other conditions (条件). They must have studied at their American school for at least one year. Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus (校外的) job.International students who will be studying at graduate school can apply (申请) for some jobs before they come to the United States. A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.Some schools pay their assistants. Others provide free education in return. Many do both. Graduate assistants might teach, give tests, grade work, help with research and clean the offices. Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English. Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.International student offices at schools have to provide information on students each term for the Department of Homeland Security. Students who violate visa (签证) rules —for example, by working off-campus without permission —could be sent home.12. What can we learn according to the passage?A. All the international students can work for large companies.B. International students are able to work whenever they like.C. International students may be allowed to work outside the school when having financial trouble.D. International students must have studied at their American school for less than a year to get ajob.13. We may infer from the passage that ____.A. international students could apply for some jobs before coming to the USB. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for themC. international students cannot take their jobs before having language trainingD. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobs14. The under lined word ―violate‖ in the last paragraph probably means ____.A. ask forB. go againstC. forgetD. obey15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The rules about getting a job while studying in the US for international students.B. The reason why international students like studying in the United States.C. What international students should do while working in the United States.D. How international students could find jobs while studying in the US.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。

AMost people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.OpenTable appOpenTable app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurant available based on where and when theywant to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations(保存，预定), which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.Ma x McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing appWine and cheese can be a great combination.

Max Mc Calman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing.3. Where does this passage most probably come fromA. A science textbook.B. A tourist map.C. A museum guide.D. A technology report.BIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damagedbrain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taughtthem.4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down5. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs6. What is the right order of the steps in the operationa. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a7. What mainly makes the brain operation possibleA. Taking the blood out of the brain.B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.C. Having the blood go through a machine.D.L owering the brain’s temperature.CIf we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts〞for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. You can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.8. We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT .A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret9. If you are a shy person, you can .A. find friends with the same interest and hobbyB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fall in love with other students easily10. What does the underlined sentence probably meanA. Don’t get into the habit of early love.B.Don’t be addicted to early love.C. Don’t be trapped in early love.D. Don’t be confused by early love.11. The main idea of the passage is to .A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girlsDTwelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who hadlived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café prog rams. I am so proud tobe able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasionsA. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .A. had lived with his relatives happilyB. had won his degree in a universityC. had been struggling financiallyD. had lost hope of facing the future15. From his experience, the author learns that .A. people can learn a lesson from difficultiesB. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar cityC. people should not give up even in troubleD. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后〔A、B、C、D、E、F、G〕选项中选出能填入空白处最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Okiahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register（收款台）,I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, andwhen I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon after, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning, In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly ford shop-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.

高中英语真题：示范高中2015-2016学年高一下学期期中考试试卷试题word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Agatha Christie used to go out at night. She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago.That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2 o'clock in the morning. Without company, Agatha walked home along the quiet street. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building, a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran ou t at her. “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”“What do you want?” Agatha asked.“Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”“Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it.”“Stop talking rubbish. Quick!”With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to her home.The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings (先令).21. 【小题1】Agatha will never forget the night because ________.A. she was robbed of her earringsB. she was robbed but she fooled the robberC. she had such a nice time at the partyD. it is dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night22. 【小题2】Why did she try to protect her necklace? ________.A.

Agatha was brave and cleverB. the robber was foolishC. a necklace is usually more expensive than earringsD. never stay too late at an evening party2.It’s not Christmas Day yet. But wherever I go on the streets, I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats; I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast;I get mess ages of Christmas’s best wishes from friends.I just got quite confused again, since when have Chinese beguncelebrating Christmas Day? What do these people celebrate it for, the birth of Chris? But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians, they don’t even know the origin of Christmas Day, and they celebrate it for no reason.I don’t celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since I’m not a Christian and nor am I a westerner. I don’t know what Christmas really means. Anyway I can’t get reasonable answers from my friends. Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival. Some of them think I’m an old-fashioned girl, a bigot who doesn’t appreciate the s pirit of Chinese cultural tolerance(宽容) and understanding of other cultures. Well, if it is about cultural tolerance, why don’t we ever celebrate the month of Muharram, or festivals of colours in India, or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico?I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations, but I don’t think this is what it’s about. People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones.Is it part of globalization(全球化)？Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas?24.【小题1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _________.A. is an old-fashioned girlB. doesn’t like festivals at allC. prefers western festivals to Chinese festivalsD. prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals25. 【小题2】According to the writer, many Chinese people celebrate Christmas _________.A. for no reasonB. for the birth of ChrisC. because most of them are ChristiansD. because they don’t like Chinese festivals26. 【小题3】The underlined word “bigot” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. a very brave personB. a very stubborn personC. a very careful personD. a very popular person27.【小题4】We can learn from the passage that _________.A. more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals nowB. Chinese people pay enough attention to our own festivalsC. no Christmas celebration means one lacks cultural toleranceD. the writer doesn’t like cultural exchanges and communications with other countries3.The biggest hamburger restaurant chain(连锁) in the world is McDonald’s. It started in 1955 with just one restaurant, but now has more than 20000 worldwide. There are more than 12000 McDonald’s restaurants only in the US. You can find them in 100 countries on six continents. There isn’t a McDonald’s in Antarctica, but I don’t suppose they eat hamburger s at the South Pole. When you eat at a McDonald’s restaurant you are joining the 35 million people who eat and drink at McDonald’s every day, and there are more than one million people who work there. McDonald’s has sold 100 billion hamburgers since it opened, and it sells more than 6.8 million pounds of French Fries every day.How do you like your hamburger restaurant? There are old McDonald’s ---- part of one restaurant in England is 600 years old. There are elegant(高雅的) McDonald’s ---- there is one on the Champs Elysees in Paris. There are cool McDonald’s ---- there is one in Hollywood. There are McDonald’s restaurants on ships and trains, in hospitals and zoos, in airports and in colleges.Clearly many people like the speed, hygiene(卫生) and cheapness of fast food restaurants. However, not everyone likes fast food. Some peoplequestion the nutritional value of the food; some people think the fast food causes too much waste and pollution. So the fast food business gives us plenty of food for thought, as well as convenient, affordable meals.28.【小题1】There are ________ McDonald’s restaurants outside the US now.A. about 20000B. about 8000C. about 12000D. about 3200029. 【小题2】How many people does each McDonald’s e mployees serve on average every day? _______A. About 35 billionB. About 100 billionC. About 35 millionD. About 600 million30. 【小题3】From the passage we can infer that ________.A. there are McDonald’s of different styles to meet different customersB. the writer encourage more people to eat hamburgersC. the writer thinks people should stop eating hamburgersD. hamburgers are of great nutritional value31. 【小题4】The underlined phrase“plenty of food for thought”in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. a lot of delicious foodB. a lot of food you can affordC. a lot of things to think aboutD. a lot of convenient food4.There are many people who say Thomas Edison invented the twentieth century. Although there are those who may disagree, yet Edison was one of the greatest inventors in America.Born in 1847 in Ohio, Thomas Edison attended school for only three months. After his teacher said that he could not learn, Edison’s mother decided to teach him at home. There he was allowed to study the subjects that most interested him. By age ten, Edison had built a science laboratory of his own.Edison got his first job at age twelve on the railway selling candy and newspapers. There he once saved a boy whose father was the boss of the railway station. In return the boss helped him a lot.In his late twenties, Edison built an “invention factory” where he and his business partners could devote all their time to inventing. After improving upon the telephone, Edison created the phonograph(留声机). Although Edison did not actually invent the light bulb, he did create an electric lighting system which led to its widespread use.Edison set up the first central electric power station in 1882, so New York became the first city in the world to have electric lights. This was the beginning of the modern world in which electricity became a way of life.The following year, one of Edison’s engineers discovered electrons(电子), which at last led to electronics. Without electronics, we might not have radio, TV, computers, or space travel. The rest of Edison’s l ife was spent making and improving inventions.Thomas Edison died at the age of eighty-four in 1931. Three days later, much of America dimmed(使暗淡) its lights in honor of the inventor—a man who had more impact (影响)on the development of present-day civilization than anyone else in history.32.【小题1】The passage tells us that ________.A. Edison didn’t like to study at schoolB. Edison invented the light bulb in his late twentiesC. even without electronics, we might have radio, TV, computers, or space travelD. New York was the first city in the world to have electric lights33. 【小题2】From the passage, we can infer that _________.A. Edison’s teacher thought Edison was not worth teachingB. Edison’s mother stopped Edison studying at schoolC. Edison didn’t invent many things in all his lifeD. Edison didn’t spend his life working on these inventions when he was old34.【小题3】Why did many Americans dim their lights when Edison died? ________.A. Americans wanted to save more energy.B. Americans were used to dimming their lights.C. Americans dimmed their lights in memory of the great inventor.D. Americans were made to dim their lights.35. 【小题4】The best title for this passage is ________.A. Edison, a Poor ManB. Edison, a Great InventorC. Edison Died at 84D. Edison and His Childhood二、未分类(共2题)1.Summer is the season of family travel. 36 Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds:How Far They Can Go —37 For young children, you should set a rule of always holding a parent’s hand. For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule.To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. What’s more, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily find them.How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the place you‘re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach? 38 Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.What to say —39 Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked (恐慌), so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens.Their Personal Information —Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address. 40A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places.C. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you?D. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down!E. It can be hard for people to help a lost child.F. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.G. It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.2.Once upon a time, there was a mother who lived alone with her son. They worked very hard all year round 61 they sti ll couldn’t live a comfortable life. They really looked forward to making their life better, but didn’t know how.One year, a merchant came to the village. He needed 62 (spend )some weeks there.

After he leaves, we’ll live67 (poor) again. Since he lives alone and isn’t always at home, we can go and get all his money.” But the son 68 (immediate) refused to do so, saying, “Oh, no, Mom! We should never do that. He helps us a lot! We should be grateful to him instead of 69 (rob) him.” Having heard her son’s words, the woman gave up her terrible idea. When the merchant left, he took the son with him and taught him how to do business. And the son returned as70 successful merchant.三、完型填空(共1题)1.A“blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet website called a “blog”.
