高一下册期中考试英语试题考试时间:150分钟满分:120分第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)•(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AI can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!★Tomatina — Bunol, SpainEvery last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.★Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.★Holi — IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.★International Pillow Fight Day — WorldwideTens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013.From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly. 21.According to the author, _______________.A.it’s usually hard for people to accept a different cultureB.festivals in a certain culture often change with timeC. there should be festivals celebrated by the whole worldD. festivals give people the best chances to experience a culture22.We learn from the passage that _______________.A.the town of Bunol in Spain is on a riverB.International Pillow Fight Day has a short historyC.cosmetic products sell well on Boryeong Mud FestivalD.Holi is the greatest festival for Indian people23.The passage is most likely to be found in __________.A.a travel magazine B.a technical reportC. a geography book D.a personal diaryBWhen I came to Cincinnati (a city in the US) as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a “castle”. In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood.Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.” Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn (离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so “cold”. I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.24.When the author lived in Cincinnati, _______________.A.some people were not very kind to herB.many people were curious about her motherlandC.she lived in a real castleD.she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood25.In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was ________.A.hard B.painfulC.wonderful D. strange26.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author?A.She lived with her mother in a big house in Germany.B.She did miss her friends in Cincinnati when she was at the TU-Dresden.C.She never went back to Cincinnati after she came back to Germany.D.She seldom hung out with her American friends as she was too busy.27.What is the best title for this passage?A.University life in GermanyB.Advantages of living in USAC.My culture shock experienceD. How to be an au pair in USACYou are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are eating more meat and drinking more soft drinks. That is totally different from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same amount of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians are often thin, culture — namely Asians’ hospitality (热情好客) — is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says, “Eating and drinking are important social and family activities.”In the past, however, big meals were only hosted for special events, as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and high consumption (消耗), 10-course meals are no longer reserved for important times.“In the past, people had four or more children — now, they have one or two, so they are likely to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says:“there is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and in the end, they don’t want to move because they are fat.”Because of technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.28.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Asian children no longer follow their diet tradition.B.Asian people now like to save more money.C.Asian children eat big meals more often.D.Culture leads to the fatness of Asian children.29.According to the passage, the quality food fed by more parents is actually ________. A.healthful food B.qualified foodC.high-calorie food D.agreeable food30.Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because __________________. A.they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford “quality food”B.they feel that they don’t take good care of their childrenC.the children don’t have a good physical conditionD.their children don’t love eating and drinking31.The purpose of this article is to _________________.A.compare the traditional diet with today’s diet of Asian childrenB.find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian peopleC.prove the relationship between fatness and indoor playD.explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadaysDRetirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮丧), which makes life difficult for them.Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1.knowing you’re working for society, 2.getting admiration from your skills, 3.having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4.having people to socialize with, and 5.simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there’s a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it’s hard to getmuch done when you’re depressed.What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general:drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it’s probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it’s important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you’ve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You’ve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.32.People may find life very hard after they retire because of ___________.A.freedom B.nervousnessC.discouragement (losing heart) D.hard work33.All the following can cause the retirees’ unpleasant feelings EXCEPT ____________.A.they will suffer from financial lossB.they have to support their parentsC.they may lose the reason to get up earlyD.they may have fewer people to socialize with34.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________________.A.it makes people’s relationships unusualB.it makes people’s relationships in peaceC.it makes people’s relationships in dangerD.it makes people stay in touch with each other.35.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Depression and RetirementB.Depression During Retirement Is HarmfulC.Reasons for Depression During RetirementD.How to Overcome Depression During Retirement第二节(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。

He was wearing only his swimming glasses,cap and Speedos.Pugh is an advocate(倡导者) for oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems(生态系统) with their large diversity(多样化) of marine(海洋的) life. When asked why he didn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis said, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult. If I ask them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica, where the average temperature is about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He said his body could only stand about 20 minutes in the freezing watersbefore it started shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature drops steadily, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he was done with his swim, his support team rushed him to a hot shower and it took almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution (警告) that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to the freezing waters can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh said he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2020, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting(正在融化的) Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2020, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.4.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A.To swim faster.B. To show his bravery.C. To build up his body.D. To win public attention.5.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.His body.B.The water.C.His body temperature.D. The water temperature.6.What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in the freezing waters?A.One should be ready to take on challenges.B.One should be expert at swimming.C.One must be fully prepared.D.One must be used to long-distance swimming.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Lewis Pugh: Swimming for a cause.B.How to Survive a Swim in the Cold Waters.C.How to Prepare for Extreme Swimming.D.Lewis Pugh: Achieving the Impossible.CIn every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(装饰) and household goods, and sometimes even in clothes.The furniture may often be antique, and it may have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salesrooms, where one piece might be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you can’t help thinking of those long-dead hands that polished that wood and thinking of those now-closed eyes that once looked at these pieces with love.The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over. Now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad. You think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death. Although the British do not worship(崇拜) their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These daysno one knocks them down. They are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.8.Books found in second-hand bookshops may_________.A.be copies of the earliest printingsB.be on sale for the first timeC.never be worth very muchD.never be rare9.What was the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?A.Its sheep.B.

Probably one of the most interesting ways of catching fish is stilt fishing(立钓), something that is only found in the clear waters of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean.A fisherman takes a long piece of wood. At one end there is a crossbar(横梁) called a petta, which is where the fisherman sits. The wood is carried a few meters into the water, and then pushed vertically(竖直地) into the sea floor. The fisherman climbs up to the petta, where he will sit two meters above the sea.Fishing from this position requires great skills. The fisherman keeps his balance by holding onto the stilt beneath him with one hand. On his wrist he keeps his bait(鱼饵) and any fish he may catch. With the other hand, he casts his fishing line.This style of fishing began during World War II, when there was not enough food in Sri Lanka. Crowds stood on the coastline, trying to catch their next meal. The more adventurous fisherman came up with the idea of sitting on a stilt. They could keep away from the crowds and catch more fish. When the war came to an end, stilt fishing continued.On December 26th, 2020, Sri Lanka was hit by a disaster which killed many fishermen and destroyed much of its coastline. Fishing on stilts became less popular. It stopped completely during the rainy season. As more tourists now visit Sri Lanka, fishermen find that they can earn more money if they allow their fishing stilts to be used by actors so tourists can take photographs of them. The actors know little more about fishing than the tourists themselves. However, if you look hard enough, you can sometimes find the real thing.But whether they are real fishermen or actors, fishing on stilts does look marvelous-- especially when the day is coming to an end and the sun begins to set. These photographs along make you want to visit Sri Lanka!12.How do fishermen fish on stilts?A.By sitting on the petta.B. By standing in the water.C. By keeping the bait in their hands.D. By throwing their line with two hands.13. Why did people restart fishing on stilts after 2020?A. To solve food problem.B. To keep their tradition alive.C. To make money from travelers.D. To keep away from the large crowds.14. What does the underlined word “marvelous” in the last paragraph mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wonderful.D. Dangerous.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To describe the history of stilt fishing.B. To introduce stilt fishing.C. To show how to attract tourists.D. To encourage people to visit Sri Lanka.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)Underwater FlyersPenguins are birds that “fly” underwater. _____16_____ The penguins’ short wings are called flippers(鳍状肢).

Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.Marco Polo, an Italian who travelled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.In 1535, when Catherine de Medeicis left Italy to marry the future King Herry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before, which was ice cream.At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.21.I ce cream was unknown in France until ________.A. 1535B. 1660C. 1640D. 177422.W ho introduced ice cream to England?A.
