Only now it's actually stylish. The＄120 speaker comes in different finishes, including fabric and wood.A helping hand for parentsSuzy Snooze helps babies and kids sleep so parents can catch up on their own sleep. It's a sound machine and a nightlight. It connects with an app over Wi-Fi and turns into an audio monitor. If a kid cries at midnight, it'll detect the sound and try to calm him back to sleep. It can also let early risers know when it's OK to get out of bed. Made by BleepBleeps, the＄249 "smart nightlight" has an adorable little face.Safety for ding dongsDoorbells used to just ring, ding, dong. But thanks to modern technology, doorbells can now double as Internet-connected surveillance（监视）devices. Ring's＄249 Video Doorbell Pro can record HD video of your front steps, even at night. It includes motion sensors and two-way audio, so you can yell "get off my lawn" from anywhere. You can also use the app to see what's going on in front of your house while you're at work or in the backyard.The must-have kitchen gadgetThe Instant Pot makes food fast in one pot. The surprise kitchen hit is a combination of pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker and even yogurt maker. It has sensors and settings to make cooking as safe as possible. Starting at＄80, an Instant Pot can make dishes in less time than it typically takes to cook them.（1）In which way does the new Amazon Echo smart speaker different from the old one?A.It has more functions.B.It's attractive in a fashionable way.C.It adds the listening voice assistant.D.Its price is lowered.（2）What can Suzy Snooze do for parents?A.Provide sunlight.B.Play with babies.fort crying babies.D.Remind parents to wake up kids.（3）What is the advantage of the Video Doorbell Pro compared with traditional doorbells?A.It can take on the work of a monitor.B.It can make a sound of ding-dong.C.It can communicate with the users.D.It can play HD videos.（4）Who are most probably interested in the Instant Pot?A.Those who love fast food.B.Those who enjoy cooking.C.Those who are busy working.D.Those who like going camping.（5）The passage is meant to ______.A.introduce several useful productsB.let people learn more about our technologyC.tell people how to buy things on AmazonD.tell people how to use the products mentionedB.My College LifeC.Terrible Journey HomeD.Riding Bus Alone4.At 9 am on a Wednesday, Gaby Rountree waves goodbye to Mila as she is picked up to go to day care in Mexico City. "It has made her so independent, so friendly and so lovely with others," Ms Rountree says joyfully. She shuts the front door and turns to homeschooling her two children. For Mila is not a child, but the family dog.Schools and nurseries have been shut in Mexico for a year owing to the pandemic. But doggy day care is booming. Doggy carers offer claw-trims and let beloved pets play outdoors. "Many clients now have a home office or are worried about their dogs becoming too attached to them," explains Montserrat, an owner of a dog day-care centre, as she strokes a tiny dog on her lap. The facility, in the rich neighbourhood, also has a camp where dogs can spend a relaxing weekend in the countryside.Mexico's rising passion for dogs has coincided（同时发生）with falling human fertility. In the mid-1980s, a Mexican woman could expect to have four children; now, only two. In the long run, as people have grown richer and the returns to education have risen, families have shrunk. For some, a dog is a lovable substitute. The most devoted owners buy clothes and throw birthday parties for their dogs. Many restaurants welcome dogs and provide drinking water. Some restaurants even offer a full doggy menu. Parks have "doggy areas". Pet beauty salons provide not only baths and trims but massages and acupuncture, too.Mexico's spoilt pets are probably enjoying the pandemic more than its locked-down kids. By one estimate, nearly two-thirds of the children have missed a year of school because of coronavirus. For mothers such as Ms Rountree, doggy day care offers some relief from covid-induced hard boring work. But she will not stop worrying until her children, too, are let off the chain and back into the classroom.（1）What can be inferred from the first paragraph?a is highly thought of by Ms Rountree.B.Ms Rountree is a well-received online teacher.a enjoys her day with other children at care center.D.Ms Rountree's children are well taken care of at care center.（2）What may be the reason for the doggy day care's popularity in Mexico?A.Dogs like to play in the center.B.Dogs are infected with pandemic.C.School and nurseries are closed down.D.Many citizens have to work at home.（3）What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A.How Mexico becomes richer.B.Why Mexicans love to raise dogs.C.How Mexicans care for their dogs.D.Why Mexico has a declining population.（4）What's the present situation of the kids in Mexico?A.They are about to return to school.B.They are second to the dogs at home.C.They have to attend their dogs at home.D.Most of them are absent from school for a year.5.A pair of Nike company running shoes from 1972 were sold for a record-breaking $ 437,500 in a public auction （拍卖）on Tuesday. The so-called Nike "Moon Shoe" was one of the first Nike shoes. They were designed for runners at the 1972 Olympic trials.The sale was made at Sotheby's auction house in New York. Officials there said the price set a new record for a pair of sneakers. Canadian investor and car collector Miles Nadal bought the shoes. Nadal last week paid 190,373in California in 2017. That was for a pair of signed Converse shoes that basketball star Michael Jordan reportedly wore in the 1984 Olympic finals, Sotheby's said.Sotheby's is best known for selling art works for tens of millions of dollars. But it has been working with streetwear （街头服饰）marketplace Stadium Goods to auction 100 pairs of the rarest sneakers ever produced.The handmade "Moon Shoe" was one of only 12 pairs ever made. The pair sold on Tuesday is the only ones known to exist in an unworn condition, Sotheby's said.Nadal expressed excitement about his purchase. He called the "Moon Shoe" a "true historical artifact in sports history and pop culture". He said he plans to show them, along with his 99 other newly bought shoes,at his private automobile center in Toronto.Noah Wunsch is the head of international e-Commerce at Sotheby's. He said the sneaker auction brought together art, culture and fashion. "We are eager to see where this sale takes us, not only in future sneaker offerings, but also in other new luxury lifestyle areas," Wunsch said.（1）What can we know about the auctioned Nike "Moon shoe" from the text?A.It was worn at the 1972 Olympic Games.B.It has been the most expensive.C.It was one of the 99 pairs of rare sneakers.D.It was once worn by a basketball star.（2）What is Sotheby's auction houses most famous for?A.Managing international e-Commerce.B.Producing well-known shoe brand Converse shoes.C.Selling art works for tens of thousands of dollars.D.Auctioning rare and limited-collection sneakers.（3）What is Noah Wunsch's attitude towards the sneaker auction mentioned in the text?A.Cautious.B.Curious.C.Ambiguous.D.Optimistic.（4）Where does the text probably come from?A.A news report.850,000for99otherpairsofrareorlimited −collectionsneakersthatSotheb swasoffering.BeforeTuesday,y ′thehighestpriceatapublicauctionforsneakerswasB.A science textbook.C.A research paper.D.A shoe-selling advertisement.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假定你是李华，在互联网上看到英国高中生 David 发布的一则启事；希望结识一位中国朋友，以便学习中国的语言、文化。

ALast night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”I always believe no matter how hard up I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love.1. What does the underlined phrase mean according to the passage?A. Rich in money.B. Selfish.C. Generous.D. Short in money. 2. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that the author _____.A. was angry with the homeless manB. was an old friend of the homeless manC. decided to help the homeless man after his mealD. finished his meal quickly to help the homeless man3. We can infer from the text that the homeless man was _____.A. old and sickB. sad and nervousC. polite and friendlyD. calm and confident4. The author wants to tell us that _____.A. there is always someone that we can helpB. money cannot buy everythingC. love cannot be forcedD. we shouldn’t forget those who once helped usBWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.5. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. commercial purposesB. personal experiencesC. cultural valuesD. physical reactions to the color6.Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?A. To encourage people to buy the goods.B. To increase people’s appetites.C. To relax people physically.D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.7. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. RedB. Blue.C. PurpleD. Green.CWhat do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away. But what if that insect is a ladybug (瓢虫)? It is possible that you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign. A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good. The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects. It's the baby ladybug. When the baby ladybugs hatch(孵化), they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop－destroyers. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. They completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid (液体). Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and stay still until their attacker goes away.So the next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be doing. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.8．Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to ________.A . add more ladybugs to the areaB．report the weather for farmersC．act as a lucky sign of good cropsD．save orange trees by eating insects9．From the passage we know that ________.A．it' s the adult ladybug that eats most of the harmful insectsB．ladybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birdsC．ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselvesD．the baby ladybug mainly eats mites, aphids, mealybugs, and oranges10．The underlined phrase “stand up to” most probably means ________. A．fight B．support C．admire D．watch11．Which of the following may the author agree with?A．Ladybugs do harm to nature.B．Ladybugs are unusual insects.C．Ladybugs are dangerous insects.D．Ladybugs eat more than they should.DWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance ,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list . Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore emotive(情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people to realize.12. According to Paragraph 1, students______.A. view music as an overlooked subjectB. disagree with their parents on educationC. regard music as a way of entertainmentD. prefer the arts to science13. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.A. compare it with rock musicB. show music identifies a societyC. introduce American musical traditionsD. prove music influences people’s lifestyles14. According to the passage, the arts and science _________.A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express people’s feelings in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education makes students more imaginativeB. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education deserves more attention.第二节．七选五（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。

高一英语人教新课标下学期期末考试试题阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AButtons are found on all sorts of clothing. They are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic. They fasten, or connect, one piece of clothing to another. They make sure your clothes don’t fall off. When we are speaking or writing m English, buttons can be just as useful.Men or women often wear button-down clothes to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative（保守的）or traditional. People who are described as buttoned-down stay close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving. They don’t wear crazy clothing or do unusual things. People and events can both be described as buttoned-down.If someone is buttoned-up, he or she seems very business-like. In personal relationships, a buttoned-up person is cold and standoffish, meaning they physically and emotionally keep away from others. Buttoned-up people are not warm or friendly. And they do not share their inner thoughts and feelingswith others.In the expression “button up”, button is a verb. It means to stop talking. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. The person just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “stop talking”. Button you lip is another equally rude but effective to stop a person who talks too much.Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes your buttons. To push someone’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. First they find a person’s weak point. Then they use it to upset him.1. Which of the following best describes button-down clothes?A. ComfortableB. AttractiveC. FormalD. Loose2. What does the underlined part “button it” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Cheer up!B. Calm down!C. Turn away!D. Shut up!3. What does a person want to do if he pushes your buttons?A. Help you out.B. Make you suffer.C. Show he knows you well.D. Point out your weak points.BWe all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others.Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just Do It.”Recently researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners.This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1.200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, hear, attack or stroke.One of the researchers is a man named D.C. Lee, a professor of Iowa State University Compared to non-runners, he said,runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “Compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. Also, runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）, including heart attack and stroke.”D. C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr Lee said slower runners and those who only ran once or twice a week were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “And also we looked at the inning over time and we found that persistent runners（over six years）showed the biggest benefits, as well.”4. What does the author mean by quoting Nike’s ad “Just Do it”?A. It’s time for you to start running.B. Nike has always kept its promise.C. You have to run as fast as possible.D. Running docs you good whatever its form.5. The researchers got the results of their study mainly by .A. analyzing dataB. having interviewsC. doing experimentsD. doing field survey6. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A. Heart disease is the biggest killer of mankind.B. Runners are generally healthier than non-runners.C. Heart disease has killed more people than cancer.D. Running greatly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.7. What can we know according to Mr Lee?A. Slower runners and faster runners benefit equally from running.B. You can benefit most if your speed is over 10km per hour.C. You must control your speed properly while running.D. The further you run, the more benefits you will get.CI was wandering around the Albuquerque International Support airport. My flight had been delayed and I heard an announcement: “If an yone near Gate A-4 understands Arabic（阿拉伯语）, please come to the gate immediately.” Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.An older woman was crumpled（蜷缩成一团的）on the floor, crying loud. In her traditional Palestinian dress, she remindedme of my grandmother.“Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? Stanischway, min fadlick, shu-bit-se-w ee?” She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been called off. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Let’s call him.”We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I knew and let them chat with her.She was, laughing a lot but then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of homemade cookies filled with dates and nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the people at the gate. To my amazement, no one declined. It was like a sacrament（圣餐）. The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo--- We were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.I looked around the gate and thought. This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere, I thought. Not everything is lost.8. What can we learn about the author?A.
