ADuring the Second World War, an old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s hometown.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”1. The old man’s sons joined the army because _______.A. they were all strongB. they had to doC. they wanted to be fullD. So they loved their country2. Which of the following is true?A. The old policeman would send the old man into prison.B. The old policeman thought Hitler was better than pigs.C. The old policeman hated Hitler, too.D. The old man found a friend at the police station.3. The policeman thought _______.A. Hitler was more foolish than pigsB. the old man insulted(侮辱) their hometownC. the old man had to say sorry to himD. the old man had to fight with HitlerBIn a village, the people were not rich. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a be tter future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4 . From paragraph I, we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD.were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. the frogs were easy moneyB. They needs money to buy medicineC. they wanted to please the visitorsD. the frogs made too much noise6. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. the crops didn’t do wellB.the pesticides were overusedC. the visits brought in diseasesD. there were too many insects7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB. Health is more important than moneyC. The harmony between man and nature is importantD. good old day will never be forgottenCWhat do women really want their Mr. Right in Britain. He should be good-looking, clean-shaven and drive a silver Mercedes. And, most important of all, he should be more than 178cm.Height is apparently more important than looks to women looking for Mr. Right, a survey claims. With blue eyes, short dark-brown hair and medium build, the ideal candidatewould appear to be the film star Jake Gyllenhaal. Looks aside, the perfect partner must also love pets and appreciate fine wine, theaters and nice restaurants. Coupled with this he should have a “wacky” sense of humor, accordin g to the study of 40,000 women by UK . Mr. Right wears smart jeans and a T-shirt, weighs exactly 80.5 kilos and is a doctor or a lawyer who owns a home in a good location.He has had three serious relationships, no more than six sexual partners, h as never been married and doesn’t have children.Also important is a university education: many women specify a man with a BA degree.Smokers and football fans were not popular.Only 1 percent of women questioned would date a man who hates pets. The majority ---66 percent ---want to find a partner who is fit. Even more---68 percent---are looking for a “wacky” sense of humor.David Brown, managing director of UK said, “ The female daters on our websites certainly know what they want and the y are not afraid to let the man know.”Fortunately for imperfect men, however, not all women go for the Gyllenhaal ideal. “ Cuddly lovers” were favored by 21 percent, while 16 percent would like to find a balding gent like Bruce Willis. Another 11 percent said their Mr. Right would be ginger, while 18 percent said they would prefer a man with grey hair. And 28 percent claimed they would not care how much a man would earn. Facial hair proved surprisingly popular: 28 percent of those surveyed admitted they like a goatee and 21 percent said they would like to meet a man with a moustache. Only 2 percent of women, however, said they wouldn’t mind dating someone who was less than 152 cm tall.8. In the eyes of British women, what is the most important for Mr. Right.A. sense of humorB. AppearanceC. heightD. job9. Which of the following is not considered the standard of Mr. RightA. Love for sportsB.MoneyC. AppearanceD.Good education10. In women’s eyes, Mr. Right should be .A. a lawyerB. a teacherC. a bossD. a clerk11. From the passage we know that .A. most women like “ cuddly lovers”B. all the women like the film star Jake Gyllenhaal.C. ordinary men seem to have no chance to find lovers.D. most women like men with a sense of humor.DWhen you were very young can you remember any of the bad habits you used to have? Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck your thumb(拇指). Of course, you do not do that any more, but yo u can surely remember your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older we get other bad habits. We can’t give them up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting; in our teens, it’s smoking; in middle-age, it’s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.12. Generally speaking, a child likes ______.A. sucking thumbsB.smokingC. biting nailsD. eating too much13. According to the passage, now we have good habits such as personal cleanliness, for which we benefit from _______.A. the social conditionsB. our mothers’ early trainingC. our friends’ kind helpD. some strict rules14. At the end of the story the writer says "And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all". Here what do you suppose the worst habit is?A. Reading.B. Playing.C. Lying.D. Walking15.Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?A. It is very difficult to get rid of our habits.B. At different ages people have different bad habits.C. Giving up smoking is as difficult as giving up other bad habits.D. Sucking thumbs is a young chil d’s bad habit第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

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.

2015—2016学年度第二学期高一英语中期考试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共40分）一．阅读理解根据短文内容选择最佳答案（每小题2分，共30分）AThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business w as to provide goods to the local people. He would open his sh op at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his s hop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his sho p while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m . and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pre tend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that ti me. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper r eturned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man w ho could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.1. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.C. He was too busy to have lunch every day.D. He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop.2. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A. Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop.B. Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then.C. Because the shop was closed at that time.D. Because he thought he could buy cheap things then.3. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _____ __.A. everything in his shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fighting in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop4. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. an honest man will be responsible for his actionC. you can’t believe in a dishonest man foreverD. trust can change a thief into an honest manBSunnyNowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we ha ve learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But tea chers have started to give too much homework. Anything in e xcess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of givi ng students a practice and not to overwork them.JaneWhat’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothin g else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at hom e will just make them memorize things but not put them into u se. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get i nterested to understand what they learn. The same trend cont inues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an i nterview.SallyIt is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be f ree in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired a nd we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.JohnsonIt is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do th at though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.5. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to stude nts’ physical and mental health?A. Sunny.B. Jane.C. Sally.D. Johnson.6. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give stud ents homework?A. Because they care more about student s’ metal health.B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.C. Because they will be punished if they don’t give homework.D. Because they want students to get interested in their studie s.7. What problem do the speakers talk about?A. Whether students should be punished without doing home work.B. What kind of homework should be given to students.C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.CA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to wor k for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three gro ups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group , and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at lea st one food from all four main groups. With all these food toge ther, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your bre akfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not hav e time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supp er with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tire d in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy andstrong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you e at more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Havi ng a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your h ealth.8. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D.

The underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. the shop that sells milk and buttera farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.DIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or wo rk well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you ru n a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and l ungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funn y story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very i ll. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and se rious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In otherwords, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleas ure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t sm oke more than one cigar ette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and sa id that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”11. The writer thinks that.health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC.medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money12. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do.without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC.if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain13. The underlined part means “”.he was feeling better than ever B. he wasn’t a healthy manC.he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again14. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the manb efore the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarett e a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn’t smoke so muchC. didn’t smokeD. began to learn to smoke15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a per son is ill.B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.C. The man thanked the doctor.D. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.二．七选五（每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
