In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19.Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20.What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21.Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22.The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23.What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24.What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25.According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26.What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29.What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing. Your 50 of the world and, more importantly, of yourself will forever be changed!36.A. always B. rarely C. never D. nearly37.A. pointing B. applying C. turning D. spreading38.A. hard B. relaxing C. unfamiliar D. exciting39.A. some B. both C. more D. none40.A. report B. record C. recall D. consider41.A. held B. missed C. attended D. mentioned42.A. inspired B. disturbed C. embarrassed D. amused43.A. participate B. finish C. win D. run44.A. agree with B. rely on C. care for D. believe in45.A. confidence B. pleasure C. satisfaction D. motivation46.A. last B. first C. only D. second47.A. test B. identify C. imagine D. reach48.A. knowledge B. request C. principle D. experience49.A. bigger B. brighter C. clearer D. nicer50.A. view B. love C. description D. memoryⅤ.单词拼写(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)请用Welcome Unit~U4所学单词填空。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A. He needed one more rope.B. The tenth stake was gone.C. The tenth donkey ran away.D. He had left a rope in the field.25. Following the monk’s advice, what did the farmer do?A.

What did the farmer find in the next morning?A. All the donkeys were gone.B. The tenth donkey didn’t run away.C. Donkey number ten was running around.D. The donkeys went to the field by themselves.27. What does the underlined part“ a simple movement”refer to?A. Taking away the tenth stake.B. Pretending to untie the donkey.C. Pretending to cut the tenth rope.D. Trying the tenth donkey with a real rope.CFirst Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. V olunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says.Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters , visit the elderly and more.Some cities ---- including Seatle, Chicago, and Washingtong,D.C. ----require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate.

The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before.

Jacky’s Mandarin songs are boringBHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, andthe happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to make his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.60. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.A. life for a child is relatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life61. After a child grows up, he ________.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself62. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Grown-ups are free to do what they want to do.D. Grown-ups should no longer rely on others.63. The main idea of the passage is _________ .A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his lifeCOutdoor activities are more than adventure kicks and fun sports.They are simple ways for us to go out and connect with nature. Here are some popular outdoor activities that help you enjoy the outdoors.HikingHiking is one of the most popular outdoor activities, which involves walking.The primary aim of hiking is exploring(探索)and enjoying the beauty of nature.Usually hiking is carried out in the wilderness and green areas.ClimbingClimbing is also an adventurous outdoor activity.However,in order to indulge in(尽情享受)this outdoor activity,you need to be really fit.Physical endurance(耐久性)and strength are necessary for climbing.Outdoor activities involving climbing can include mountain climbing,rock climbing, ice climbing,or even tree climbing.CavingIf deep and dark caves have always fascinated(使入迷)you, then this is the outdoor activity for you.Caving involves exploring caves for recreational purposes.This is also an activity that needs proper safety measures and help of a professional.The challenges involved in this activity depend on the nature of the cave.Certain caves, which contain water, are also used for cave diving.CyclingIf you love your childhood years when you rode your favorite bicycles on the streets of your hometown,then cycling can be a fun activity that you will enjoy for sure.In case you think cycling or biking is boring then remember that the trick lies in picking out the appropriate location.You can pick beautiful and fresh places with tunnels,bridges or even snow.So the next time you are looking for some fun and adventure in your life, all you need to do is pick a location of your choice and indulge in some exciting outdoor activities.64.If you want to choose climbing as your outdoor activity, you ________ .A.may find a place full of greenB.should be healthy and full of strengthC.should practice a lot during your childhoodD.may feel more interested in climbing mountains than climbing trees 65.Which piece of information can we get from the text?A.Hiking can be carried out anywhere at any time.B.Locations should be changed when cycling is considered boring.C.Caves for caving should be without water.D.Caving is often chosen for some scientific purpose.66.Which of the following should be carried out with some professional guidance?A.Hiking.

As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who worked in a field close by.The student turned to the professor, say ing, “Let us play a trick on the man: we will hide his shoes, and conceal (隐藏) ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his puzzlement when he cannot find them.”“My young friend,” answered the professo r , “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.”The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he put his foot into one of his shoes, and found the coin. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, lookedup to heaven and uttered aloud an earnest(热诚的) thanksgiving.The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?”The student replied, “You have taught me a less on which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of those words, which I never understood before. Thank you! ”68.What the student wanted to do at first was________A.to try to fool the poor man B.to steal the poor man’s shoes C.to turn to the professor D.to give the poor man two coins 69.From the passage we can infer that the professor was________.A.honest B.humorous C.modest D.kind-hearted70.What may be the mentioned truth in the last paragraph?A.It is more blessed to give than to receive.B.Playing tricks on others is playing tricks on yourself.C.Where there’s a will, there’s a way.D.Actions speak louder than words.第一节:任务型阅读(10分)阅读下面的文章,根据语篇内容,用恰当的词完成题后表格。

河南省驻马店市经济开发区2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Interested in a solo (单独) travel in Greece? Want to have a safe and fun trip exploring on your own? Then you’re in the right place! Now, let’s explore something you need to learn about solo travel to Greece.Is Solo Travel in Greece Worth It?Yes! The country offers an experience that is perfect for solo travel. Public transport is convenient, especially between popular islands and main cities. The locals are friendly and often go out of their way to help tourists. Cultural sites like the Acropolis in Athens and the ancient ruins in Delphi are well-organized, making it easy to explore.Where Is Greece?Located in southeastern Europe, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, Greece is most famous for its coastlines. The mainland offers rugged (崎岖的) mountains, ancient ruins (古代遗迹) and cities like Athens. Then you have the islands, which are divided into groups like the Cyclades, Ionian, Dodecanese and more. Each has its own beauty. Personally, I recommend adding a Cyclades island adventure to your journey.Getting To GreeceGetting to Greece is easy, with most solo trips to Greece starting in Athens. Once you land in Athens Airport, flights to other cities and islands are frequent, especially booked in advance. If you are heading straight into Athens, use the subway and take the40-minute trip to start your solo travel in Athens.Best Time to Take a Solo Greece TripWhen it comes to the best time for solo travel to Greece, it really depends. The high season (June to September) offers the best weather but also comes with crowds and higher prices. Come just after the rush (October and November) and it will be perfect. It will be warm enough for solo beach days but not too crowded.1.What is Greece best known for according to the passage?A.Coastlines.B.Islands.C.Ancient ruins.D.Beaches. 2.When can you come to Greece without too much crowds?A.In July.B.In August.C.In September.D.In October. 3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To educate.B.To introduce.C.To honor.D.To remember.The road to sporting success often leads through ups and downs. Along the way, there are key milestones that every athlete passes. British pole vaulter (撑竿跳高运动员) Molly Caudery recalled the journey to her career in the interview.She grew up in Cornwall in the southwest of England. At 11, she fell in love with pole vault and started training. She was 13 when she specialized in the pole vault and took it seriously. She remembered doing one event in school and was by far the youngest. She was against big girls. She won that race and that was when she knew she could do something.When she was 14 years old, she only came second in a national competition. She went home and made a whole plan. She wrote down every single thing she was going to do, so she would never lose again. Then she won the World Indoor Championships, which was a huge turning point for her.She had also gone through hard times and injuries. She cut her finger pretty much entirely off at the end of 2021. She went through quite a long rehabilitation process (恢复过程). She recovered really well and had a good season. But then she had two operations (手术). It was a six-month rehabilitation. She ended up coming back and jumping 4.75m to finish fifth at the World Championships. Those hard times made her stronger and a better athlete.She was a 4.75m jumper last year and this year she has gone over 4.80m eight times. She had been injury free for a whole season and she managed to train a lot. Finally, she won the Toulouse Capitole Perche meet in France on Saturday (22 June, 2024) with a height of 4.92m. 4.When did Molly Caudery seriously consider her gift for pole vaulter?A.At 11.B.At 13.C.At 14.D.At 15.5.Which of the following can best describe Molly Caudery?A.Creative.B.Strong-willed.C.Humorous.D.Responsible.6.What do hard times mean to Molly Caudery?A.They made no difference to her.B.They stopped her realizing her dream.C.They totally discouraged her.D.They made her a better sports woman. 7.What is the best title of the text?A.Hardship Makes a Pole VaulterB.Molly Caudery Suffered from Many InjuriesC.A Pole Vaulter’s Path to SuccessD.Molly Caudery’s Struggle with DifficultiesIn Doane’s first novel, an unnamed man starts a journey of self-discovery. He is dealing with heartbreak. His love, determined to see the world, sets out for Portland. But he is a small-town boy who hasn’t traveled much. He is so upset about her loss that he hides from life. Until one day, he makes up his mind to change. Packing his bike and some belongings, he heads out to find her.Following in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac and William Least Heat-Moon, Doane offers a story of growth about a man finding himself on the country road of America. Doane is a gifted writer with insightful observations, using the key role’s personal interactions to show the diversity (多样性) of the United States.The unnamed man firstly sticks to the highways, trying to make it to the West Coast as quickly as possible. But a man named Duke tells him to get off the beaten path and enjoy the ride. Suddenly, the trip is about the journey, not the destination. The unnamed man crosses deserts and mountains on his bike. He destroys his phone, cutting off ties with his past and living only in the moment.As he crosses the country, the man meets several people who have a deep influence on him. Duke, a cowboy and drifter (漂泊者), who opens the man’s eyes to a larger world. Zooey, a waitress, who reminds him love can be found in this world. And Rosie, the man’s landlady, helps piece him back together both physically and emotionally.In this novel, the unnamed man’s personal growth doesn’t erase his faults. His willingness to hit the road with few resources is admirable and he is wise enough to recognize the jealousy (妒忌) of those who won’t make any change. His experience opens his eyes. Yet his selfishness remains. Anyway, it’s a pleasure to follow him on his journey.8.Why is the unnamed man heartbroken?A.He can’t travel much.B.He has few belongings.C.He lives in a small town.D.His beloved girl leaves for Portland.9.Who causes the unnamed man to change his attitude to life?A.Duke.B.Doane.C.Zooey.D.Rosie.10.What can be inferred about the unnamed man from the last paragraph?A.He has developed jealousy.B.He has changed positively.C.He has grown but still has weaknesses.D.He has become a pleasant man.11.What is the main focus of the book?A.Challenges in a foreign country.B.Self-discovery and personal growth.C.Adventures of an unnamed man’s trip.D.Doane’s success in his writing.Human-like skin grown in a lab has been successfully given to a burns patient. The artificial tissue (人造组织) was grown from the man’s own skin cells, which was described as one of the biggest breakthroughs in burns care.The bioengineered skin aims to replace traditional skin transplants, in which burned, damaged skin is replaced with normal, healthy skin cut from another part of the patient’s body. This new method could help to better protect patients from deadly infections (感染), without the usual pain. The bioengineered skin is grown under lab conditions using a sample (样本) of cells taken from the patient. Once it has grown to a sheet of skin, it is stuck to the burnt tissue of the patient.Patients with burns over most of their body had very little healthy skin to use for transplanting, which meant they had to stay in hospital for months and risked higher rates of infection while using the same donor site for transplanting over and over again. In comparison, the artificial skin takes four weeks to grow into sheets 100 times the size of the skin taken from the patient. This is the amount of time needed to prepare a burn for treatment.Associate Professor Heather Cleland said the tissue had the ability to not only treat patients better, but also save those who would die.Former patient Kate Sanderson, 49, who had burnt to 60 percent of her body in2011, saidshe was elated for the team for, with the new method, burns patients will suffer less and recover soon in the future. She said her recovery took a long time because doctors could only take limited amounts of skin for transplanting.12.What is one of the advantages of the new method?A.It’s really cheap.B.It’s unique in the world.C.It causes little pain.D.It has no side effects.13.What is Heather Cleland’s attitude towards the new method?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear. 14.What does the underlined word “elated” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Enough.B.Worried.C.Tired.D.Overjoyed. 15.Where is the text most likely from?A.A medical magazine.B.A first-aid guide.C.A science fiction.D.A textbook.How Do I Become Happy?Happiness is what everyone wants to feel. The world has become more and more competitive, with people feeling like they need to do more than ever before in order to be happy.16 Here are simple things you can do to be happier.Be kind to yourself. It can be hard to go through life without people who understand how you feel. But for now, talking kindly to yourself could bring moments of comfort. 17 Being good can have a positive influence on you, which means less stress for you. So if you find yourself unhappy, being kind to yourself will bring you joy and happiness.Be thankful for even small things. Being thankful during hard times is not an easy task. However terrible you might feel, showing thanks even about small things can give you more joy than you can imagine. What others do to keep track of the things they are thankful for is keeping a thanks journal. 18Stop comparing yourself with other people. Are you stuck in the idea that everyone else is better than you? 19 Don’t compare yourself to others all the time because everyone has their own pains and challenges in life. Instead, focus on what matters to you most and think of ways on how you can improve yourself.20 Give yourself right to take care of yourself. If you really want to be happy, start with taking care of yourself. That means your body! The best way to keep healthy is by doing all the things that make you feel your best. That means eating a healthier and balanced diet, sleeping enough every night and exercising as often as possible.A.Take care of yourself.B.Just a word of advice—don’t.C.Enjoy the right to do as you please.D.However, most of us feel unhappy at times.E.There are many benefits of being kind to yourself.F.The habit of locking yourself in your home is understandable.G.Start this habit by writing down three things you’re thankful for each day.二、完形填空A 60-year-old man and 48-year-old woman didn’t know what would happen to them before their sailing (航海).They are 21 sailors and set out for the sea as usual happily on Monday morning.

高一上学期英语期中考试试题(不含听力)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。
AIf you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on the context to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主线) of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on ina slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.1. The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “_________”.A. to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the bookB. to try to catch the meaning of every word in the bookC. to try to understand all the writer is going to tell youD. to try to understand the main idea of the book2. When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, you’d better _________.A. stop and look them up in a dictionaryB. stop and think them overC. try to guess their meanings from the contextD. have none of them3. From the passage the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _____.A. to read very slowlyB. to read quickly and not too carefullyC. to read very carefullyD. to read very seriously4. The best title for this passage is “___________”.A. Read for PleasureB. Get on with the BooksC. Reading SkillsD. The Importance of ReadingBSome places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before goingthere.Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law— no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations –is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke --- the local police will stop you.Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.5. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. How to make your trip around the world safe.B. Why there are strange laws in the world.C. Interesting places you can go to around the world.D. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.6. If you are driving a car in Thailand, .A.the police will play a joke on youB.you should wear your shirt even though it’s hotC.the police will give you tickets costing about $10D.you should always keep your headlights on7. What can we learn from the text?A.The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.B.Kissing goodbye at train s tations isn’t allowed in France today.C.Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public.D.You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.CYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he c ome up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.8. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rainB. To check the weather forecastC. To protect people from the rainD. To remind people to take an umbrella9. What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?A. His creation was inspired by an experienceB. it rains a lot in the city of Saint PetersburgC. Street lamps are protected by canopiesD. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A. Its moving speedB. Its appearanceC. Its installationD. Its safety11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his productB. The lampbrella could be put into immediate productionC. The designer is confident that his creation is practicalD. The lampbrella would be put on show in MoscowDObama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common? They are, of course, all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site baidu, they all best illustrate the word “cool”.But just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy. “Cool” relates to ideas of grace under pressure.“In Africa,” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.”The modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War II. “Post-war ‘cool’ was in part an expression of war-weariness… it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules: Anatomy of an Attitude.But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. In the movie, Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.Today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics stars. Often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.But many teenagers also think being smart is cool.
