高一上学期期中测试英语模拟试卷满分：120分一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）ALast year I went to Nepal (尼泊尔) for three months to work in a hospital.I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle (丛林) and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime. Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tigers lunch! I started to feel very frightened.We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. It grabbed (咬住) Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I succeeded (成功) in pulling Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep.（）1. The writer of the passage must be____ .A. a Nepalese doctorB. a foreign touristC. a Nepalese travelerD. a foreign doctor（）2. What made the writer suddenly start to feel very frightened?A. He heard the noise of the tiger.B. He saw the tiger in the distance.C. He realized that they were in danger.D. He knew that the tiger was in danger.（）3. What was unusual about the tiger?A. It hunted a deer on a hot afternoon.B. It was 500 kilos plus and four meters long.C. It was afraid of an elephant.D. It almost killed the Nepalese guide.BKnowing a foreign language is becoming more and more important at this time. Many people want to study the foreign language. There are two ways to learn a foreign language. The first is to stay in the homeland to study the foreign language. The second is to study in another place where the foreign language is spoken. Going to the native place to learn a language is the better choice. I will give reasons to support my opinion.To begin with, going to the native country to learn a language offers us a good language environment. It will help us to learn the language faster. For example, everyone around me speaks the foreign language, and then I have to improve myself to talk with them. If I cannot talk with other people, I cannot even buy food to keep myself alive. This environment makes me want to develop myself to be able to talk with those people who speak the foreign language.Secondly, I can make more friends who speak the foreign language as their native language. These friends can help me learn the language fast. In an English school, people come from different places and speak different languages. However, the only language that I can use to talk to my friends is the English language. Thus, I can talk with my friends without worrying about making mistakes. This helps me make fast progress in learning foreign languages.In conclusion, I personally believe that learning languages in foreign countries is better than learning languages at home because I have to improve myself to communicate with other people. Besides, in a foreign country I can have a chance to speak the foreign language with my friends. Learning foreign languages in the native country is the better choice for me.（）4.

Would you know what to do? It's a good idea for families to talk about what they would do to escape a fire. Depending on where you live, there may be different escape plans, so let's start there.Know Your Way OutAn escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house. The idea is to get outside quickly and safely. Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are, it’s important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home. How many exits are there? How do you get to them from your room'? It's a good idea to have your family draw a map of the escape plan. It's possible that one way out could be blocked by fire or smoke, so you had better know where other ones are.Safety StepsIf you're in a room with the door closed when the fire breaks out, you need co take a few extra steps:● Check to see if there's heat or smoke coming in the cracks around the door.● If you see smoke coming under the door, don't open the door!●If you don't see smoke, touch the door. If the door is hot or very warm, don't open it!If the door feels cool, and you can't see any smoke around the door, you can open the door very carefully and slowly. If there's still no smoke or heat when you open the door, go toward your escape route exit.（）9. Why is it necessary to learn and remember different ways out of your home?A. There is only one way out in most homes.B. Maps may be hard to find in case of fireC. It is difficult to see things in heavy smoke.D. Fire breaks out very often in some neighborhoods. .（）10. What is the next step if you don't see smoke coming under the door of your room?A. Go towards the exit.B. Keep cool and wait.C. Feel the temperature of the door.D. Open the door carefully and slowly.（）11. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Dangers of Fire.B. How to Prevent a Fire?C. Family Escape Plans.D. What to Do in a Fire?DColorado（美）科罗拉多 has more fourteeners — mountain peaks (山峰) over 14,000 feet — than any other state in the US. Many people believe that Colorado's 53 fourteeners are reachable by only the most experienced mountaineers. In fact, climbing those fourteeners is hardly an impossible task for most climbers.Surprisingly, unlike climbing Denali (the highest point in North America), a climb to one of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks seldom takes more than a day. Pikes Peak is a well-known difficult climb, yet a college teacher in his middle seventies makes the climb every day in the summer. A friend of mine, Carson Black, in a day, once climbed four fourteeners. Three of them —Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, and Kit Carson Peak — are the most difficult in the state. Only a handful of climbs took more than a day.Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks are also easy to climb because they often require no special climbing tools. The “knife-edge traverse（横贯）” on Capitol Peak is probably the most difficult climb, yet most climbers who carry ropes don't use them when they see the ridge (山脊) is not very frightening. The highest peak in the state, Mt. Elbert, is so simple to climb that one man rode a old bicycle to the peak last year.Another sign that climbing Colorado's highest peaks is not very difficult is the number of climbers each summer. After going down from Torreys Peak one weekend in August, I counted over seventy cars in the parking lot（停车场）. On a weekend of another August, I passed fifty people in different stages (路段) of climbing Mt. Elbert. Last year, 4,226 people climbed Longs Peak. Its parking lot today is about a quarter-mile long.In a word, Colorado's peaks are not hard to climb. Most of them take only a day to climb, require no more than simple climbing skills, and are topped by many people each year.（）12. What is the author's attitude to the belief in Paragraph 1?A. He disagrees with it.B. He worries about it.C. He is uncertain about it.D. He pays little attention to it.（）13. What may be the author's advice for Capitol Peak climbers?A. Ropes are usually necessary.B. It is better to reach the top by bike.C. No special climbing tools are needed.D. Climbing the peak is not as easy as expected.（）14. Why does the author mention Longs Peak's parking lot?A. To prove it has a parking problem.B. To advise climbers to travel by car.C. To show its effort to draw climbers.D. To show the large number of climbers.（）15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Colorado has the most fourteeners in the US.B. Colorado's fourteeners can be easily climbed.C. Topping a Colorado fourteener takes courage.D. Climbing Colorado's peaks requires experience.二、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。
