期中英语试题

学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、完型填空

I once had little passion(激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.

That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3 old clothes. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen 4 like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.

But this man was 5 in some way. He was not sitting down 6 but dancing happily to the music with a 7 in his hand. The radio seemed to be the most important thing for him.

“Mom, why does that man have a radio 8 he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He 9 it,” she answered.

“10 why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He paid for something that he didn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”

That man must care more about 11 than food or clothes. I soon realized that

12 is the key to life.

Since then I am always 13 what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are 14 part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a 15 day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness to keep going.

1．A．strange B．important C．dangerous D．difficult 2．A．stood B．stopped C．walked D．exercised 3．A．in B．on C．by D．for 4．A．none B．few C．all D．many 5．A．rude B．polite C．common D．different 6．A．sadly B．seriously C．proudly D．happily 7．A．coat B．phone C．radio D．scarf

11．A．life B．music C．news D．stories 12．A．money B．health C．happiness D．friendship 13．A．talking about B．thinking about C．waiting for D．looking for 14．A．only B．all C．also D．never 15．A．warm B．hot C．dark D．bright

二、阅读单选

When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on.

But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get.

The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.

Don’t just look at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.

British: Beautiful day, isn’t it?

The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there’s a simple rule: Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not. That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.

French: Where did you go on holiday?

To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees(雇员) get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.

American: So, where are you from?

The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source(来源) of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they’re from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”

16．The writer’s parents tell him not to talk to strangers because ______.

A．it was dangerous B．the writer didn’t like to talk with strangers C．it was part of the life D．the writer’s parents were afraid to talk with strangers

17．The underlined phrase “break the ice” probably means ______.

A．put the ice into pieces B．offer a chance to talk

C．play an interesting game D．give others some help

18．The passage is mainly about how to ______.

A．get more chances to talk B．know more about different cultures C．get along with a stranger D．start a conversation with a stranger

Sydney Fredette is very busy. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers(志愿) to offer services to poor children and families in Orange Country in California, US.

To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to offer services to those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.

She began with the easy idea of collecting donated(捐赠) Build-A-Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores’ workshops. Fredette then gave them as presents to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.

With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers hold activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.

Not wanting to limit(限制) the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette held other activities for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween, offering the chance to her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.

“I love making friends with the people I offer services to,” Fredette said. “It’s so cool to hear their stories and see how happy they are.”

Fredette even built a public food bank and offered a self-development class to students in her school.

She plans to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown.

19．What can we learn about Beary Merry Christmas?

A．It holds one activity a year. B．It buys bears from the stores.

C．It gives out bears and other things. D．It offers services around America. 20．We can infer(推理) from the passage that Fredette ________.

A．likes telling people stories B．is pleased with what she has done C．dreams of being a teacher D．plans to leave California for study 21．What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Offering a food bank B．Improving local schools

C．Giving back to society D．Getting on well with others

Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It

means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.

What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.

“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.

Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.

Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.

22．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.

A．one-child policy B．having a brother or a sister

C．the end of “one-child policy”D．being allowed to have two children 23．In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ______.

A．the advantages of having a sibling B．how to look after a sibling

C．how to get on well with a sibling D．the secrets of having a sibling 24．According to Kevin Leman, ______.

A．late-born children are usually successful at school

B．having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings

C．parents are usually more strict with their first-born child

D．children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings

25．Which of the following best shows the structure(结构) of the passage? A．B．C．D．

If someone 33．(大笑) at you in public, that bad experience may have influenced(影响) your confidence. If being shy is a 34．(问题) for you, don’t worry too much! It’s not difficult to become more confident—it just takes lots of practice.

First, 35．(交流) with your friends and family as often as possible. Instead of just listening, make sure you give your opinions, too.

Next, move on to speaking in larger 36．(组) or in small ones of strangers. If you get 37．(紧张的), it’s a good idea to stop and take a deep breath—that will help you relax.

Finally, try to be more 38．(活跃的). Try putting your hand up in class to volunteer your opinion. If you make a 39．(凌乱) one day, don’t give up; it gets easier with time. Just remember: your voice counts just as much as anyone else’s! Also, you need to 40．(参加) some competitions at your school, which will make you outgoing.

Best wishes,

Karen

五、语法填空

Man has been interested in the outer space for thousands of years. It has been almost over forty years 41．man’s first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space

exploration(探索) is a waste of time and money. It is true that it 42．(cost) billions of dollars to develop the space research, but people just get 43．little information.

However, every coin has two sides. There 44．(be) still a lot of other people who believe that space exploration has more 45．advantage). And I agree with them. Many new products, such 46．weather and communication satellites(交通卫星), are also products of space programs, and they are good 47．people all over the world. And what’s more, people 48．(know) about some scientific knowledge of the outer space already.

六、多任务混合问题

阅读短文，根据所提供的信息，从A、B、C三个选项中选择正确的选项填入三个空格中，并在小题的空白处填入适当内容，每空一词。完成下面的思维导图。

Anger(生气) is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows our favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe(呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. But if you do this, you may get a headache or stomachache.

In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s common for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself. When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people, such as your friends, your parents, your teachers and so on. You can also count from 1 to 100, go for a bike ride, and think about good things, etc.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make something better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.

A．Actions B．Ways C．Reasons(原因)
