things,like floating in zero gravity（重力）.However,there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment,and that's very sad.What's worse,they can't even let their sadness show—because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course,astronauts can still produce tears.But crying is much more difficult in space,reported The Atlantic in January.Without gravity,tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth.This means that when you cry in space,your tears have nowhere to go—they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011,astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks."Tears,"he said,"don't fall off of your eye...They just kind of stay there."Besides making your Vision unclear,this can also cause physical pain.Back on Earth,tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes.But that's not the case in space.The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes,and when tears suddenly wet the eyes,it can cause pain rather than comfort."My right eye is painful like crazy."Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn't work in space,astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away.Another choice is to just wait—"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,"astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things—things like crying—that we are so used to on Earth.We usually take them for granted,until they become a problem in a totally different environment,like space.There,astronauts can't talk to each other directly.They also can't eat or drink in normal ways.They can't even burp（打嗝）,because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach.If they do burp,they just end up throwing up（呕吐）everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus,perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say:"Gravity,you're the best."56.From Paragraphs 2 and 3,we can know that_______.A.astronauts are unable to feel sad in spaceB.astronauts produce fewer tears in spaceC.tears produced in space don't flow downwardD.tears produced in space flow down more slowly57.What effect do tears have on astronauts?A.They cause physical pain.B.They bring comfort to them.C.They make their vision clearer.D.They float around and cause trouble.58.What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A.Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.B.Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.C.Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.D.Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.59.What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A.Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B.Things that humans can’t do without gravity.C.Why burping is impossible in space.D.Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.BThe Tories would allow children to go to school for ten hours a day and on Saturday mornings to improve the performance of poorer pupils and help working parents.Schools spokesman Michael Gove declared plans yesterday to give disadvantaged children more classroom time to help them catch up.Longer school days could also be popular with parents who struggle to fit 3pm school finishing times around work,he said.e gave out the success of a U.S. plan where teenagers from poor backgrounds attend school from 7.30 am to 5pm.“I believe that having children in school for longer,particularly if they come from disadvantaged backgrounds can help them to achieve more in academy,” he told the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in Manchester.He pointed out that it was up to schools alone to decide whether to open longer,or at weekends.But he was greeted with laughter from delegates （代表）when he said the plan would really work only with the active support of teachers.ATL general secretary,Dr Mary Bousted,said,“The last thing we need to be doing at the present time is increasing teachers’ working hours.Teachers already work the most unpaid overtime of any public sector profession. If we want Saturday schools then we need more teachers doing the extra hours,not the same teachers working longer and becoming tired.”Meanwhile Mr Gove's idea is likely to alarm those concerned about the erosion（侵蚀）of family time.Margaret Morrissey,founder of the lobby group Parents Outloud,said,“What we should be doing is supporting these children within the school week.”60.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.The Tories required all students to stay longer at school.B.Some parents didn’t support the arrangement.C.A new plan was used to help the disabled children.D.A plan was to meet some students’ and parents’ needs.61.The successful example given by e suggests that having children in school for longer,can improve their _______.A.studiesB.healthC.confidencemunication62.According to the passage,which of the following is true?A.Each school in that area has to open longer or work at weekends.B.Parents who can’t pick up their children on time sup port the action.C.According to Gove,the teachers there agree to longer school days.D.The new plan will undoubtedly help poorer pupils catch up with others.CMany years ago,I went through a tough time.One afternoon,I picked my girls up.It was late when we returned home.I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldn’t go in.I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight.When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells.Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good,I really didn’t give it much consideration.I found all windows were locked up tight.So I returned to the back door.Oh my God,I will never forget the shock of that moment.The house was empty! Other than a few things remaining on the back porch,everything was gone!Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up.They inquired why I had broken into the house.They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address,so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification frominside the house.I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.At this point they were not buying any of my story.I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep.I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call.The owner was quite shocked to hear my story.She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction（驱逐）process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case.She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date.The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000.The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do.The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend.The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car.They were both exhausted and old.Also very frightened,because they thought their mamma was going to jail.I had to pull over because the tears took control.I couldn’t believe it! Everything we owned was gone,I had used up all our money moving in and paying my“friend” our share of costs.I knew very few people in town,as we had just moved there recently.I went to sit back in the car with the girls,I talked to the girls,explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn’t be afraid.During this time there was a “street person” with a bag,looking in the garbage for cans,bottles,and anything that might bring him some cash.But I didn’t pay much attention to him.I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast.We grabbed some bread,and chips and returned for a “picnic”.When we got there,I noticed that the man was not alone.He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat amongst themselves.I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying,“MaAm,please excuse…but…well…I overheard the situation you are in,and wel l…I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls.It’s not very much,but maybe it’ll help a little.”I looked up at this man—dirty,needing a shave—and saw the face of an angel.I started crying.The man tried to hand me $30.Ifolded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could.I told him,“Thank you for your more than generous offer,but we are going to be just fine.”He didn’t believe me at first,but I convinced him that it was okay.Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park.It didn’t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch.I had a wonderful afternoon that day,sitting there with those old guys,singing songs.They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had.They shared themselves… from the heart.63.The writer couldn’t open the door because______.A.she didn’t have the right keyB.the owner of the house refused her living thereC.someone had changed the lockD.there was something else in the lock64.When the writer came into her house,she must feel _____.A.excitedB.frustratedC.confusedD.shocked65.The writer was not allowed to stay at the house because______.A.she hadn’t paid her share of rentB.the house owner was angry about her breaking the glass of the houseC.she was cheated by her roommate and the house had been rented to othersD.she was ordered to move out by the court66.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A.The writer accepted the money the street person gave her.B.The writer got along well with the street person and his fellows.C.The street person didn’t know the writer before.D.The street person was poor and didn’t dres s well.DEveryone gathered around and Paddy read out loud,slowly,his tone growing sadder and sadder.The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary,aged 26,professional boxer,was today found guilty of the murder ofAlbert Gumming,aged 32, laborer,last July.The jury（陪审团）reached its decision after only ten minutes,recommending the most severe punishment to the court.It was,said the Judge,a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming.When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.Asked if he had anything to say,Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,”Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved,for no one knew what to do.“Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly （麻木地）.“And no one did!Oh,God!My poor,poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said.“Fee,pack your things.We’ll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back,her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.“I can't go,”she said without a hint of pain,yet making everyone feel that the pain was there.“It would kill him to see me.I know him so well—his pride,his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone,it’s what he wants.We’ve got to help him keep his secret.What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping,not for Frank,but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face,for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune,always stood between Fee and himself.He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.B ut Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said,“Well,Fee,we won’t go.But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”There was no excitement in the eyes,but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.“Yes,Paddy,do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out.Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”67.Paddy cried because he thought ______.A.what had happened to Frank was killing FeeB.Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC.Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentD.Frank had always been a man of bad moral character68.The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…”in Parag raph 6 shows that_______.A.Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand upB.Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC.Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wishD.Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank69.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.B.Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him,most probably out of his pride.C.The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.D.The police found Gumming unconscious,heavily struck by Frank.70.What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?A.Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother.B.Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband.C.Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.D.Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband.任务型阅读第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass them by.Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money.A few use aggressive behaviour to earn money.To solve the problem of aggressive begging,an "alternative（供选择的）giving" plan has been suggested.Ten blue money boxes will be placed with the encouragement that people don’t give money directly to beggars but instead to give it to local charity for the homeless.Those who support this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars'alcohol and drug problems. But the police are against the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality（犯罪）to feed their addictions.The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style.They think that in a certain degree imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness.Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes of their showers,food and clothes.Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed ernments must play a big role in solving this problem.Training beggars to work and helping them to find proper jobs is one option.This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous,but as people who need understanding and help.第五部分单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）81.The problem facing us now is how to make full p__________for the interview tomorrow.82.Chinese tourists have been reminded to b__________well and respect local laws,regulations and customs.83.C__________ on what you have,instead of wishing for what you don’t have.84.An e__________ plan has been carried out in Tianjin to save the people caught in the heavy rain.85.When I was growing up,I was eager to be i__________of my parents.86.Because of a computer___________(the state of not working correctly or as expected),I couldn’t finish my report on time.87.“What’s the __________(used to show that sth.is almost,but not completely,accurate or correct) number of students in each class?” asked the headmaster.88.Mo Yan won the Nobel prize for __________(pieces of writing that are valued as works of art,especially novels,plays and poems) in 2012,a well-deserved honor for his talent as a writer.89.Thanks to my English teacher’s g__________(help or advice that is given to sb),my English has improved a lot during this period.90.We haven’t received any official __________(a positive opinion of sth,agreement to,or permission for sth., especially a plan or request) to go on with this project 第六部分课文填空略第七部分作文略江苏省南京市中华中学2017-2018学年高一第一学期期中考试英语试题答案【单选】21-25 BDDAC 26-30 ADACB 31-35 DBCCD【完形】36-40 BCABD 41-45 ACABC 46-50 DABCB 51-55 ACACB【阅读】A：56-59 CABD B：60-62 DAB C：63-66 DDCA D：67-70 ACBD 【任务型】71.Introduction 72.pass 73.encouraged74.opinions 75.Supporters76.cash 77.successful 78.enough 79.help80.seen【首字母】81.preparations 82.behave 83.Concentrate 84.emergent85.independent86.failure 87.approximate 88.literature 89.guidance90.approval。
