外研版高一（上）英语期中试卷一-2三、阅读理解（满分36分）14．（10分）I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books．There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside．I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded．I always wanted to know what my mom was reading．Hearing mom say，"I can't believe what'sprinted in the newspaper this morning，"made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself．I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew．So I carried around a book，and each night，just to be like her，I would pretend to be reading．This how everyone learned to read．We would start off with sentences，then paragraphs，and then stories．It seemed an unending journey，but even as a six﹣year﹣old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors．When mom said，"The C﹣A﹣N﹣D﹣Y is hidden on the top shelf，"I knew where the candy was．My progress in reading raised my curiosity，and I wanted to knoweverything．I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly，so that I could read all of the road signs we passed．Most of my reading through primary，middle and high school was factual（与事实相关的）reading．I read for knowledge，and to make A's on my tests．Occasionally，I would read a novel that was assigned （布置），but I didn't enjoy this type of reading．I liked facts，things that are concrete（具体的）．I thought anything abstract（抽象的）left too much room for argument．Yet，now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex，I find myself needing a way to escape．By opening a novel，I can leave behind my burdens（负担）and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character．In these worlds I can become anyone．I don't have to write down what happened or what technique（技巧）the author was using when he or she wrote this．I just read to relax．We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding．Reading is a vital part of my life．Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning．And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless．（1）Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？A.She wanted mom to read the news to her．B.She was anxious to know what had happened．C.She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart．D.She couldn't help but stop mom from reading．（2）According to Paragraph3，the author's reading of road signs indicates（表明）．A.her unique way to locate herselfB.her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC.her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rulesD.her growing desire to know the world around her（3）What was the author's view on factual reading？A.It would help her update test﹣taking skills．B.It would allow much room for free thinking．C.It would provide true and objective（客观的）information．D.It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude（态度）to life．（4）The author takes novel reading as a way to．A.explore a fantasy landB.develop a passion for leaningC.learn about the adult communityD.get away from a confusing world（5）What could be the best title for the passage？A.The Magic of ReadingB.The Pleasure of ReadingC.Growing Up with ReadingD.Reading Makes a Full Man15．（8分）Driving is one of necessary skills that each person should have if they wish not to get trouble during their life．You had better start learning to drive when you are eighteen．Experience tells that the older you become，the harder it is to learn to drive．Learning to drive may be the very last thing on your mind when you graduate from a university，but it is helpful to look for a job and pay off the money which is spent on your study．So，the best way is to start out early to take driving lessons．Many teens in recent times are choosing not to drive．If so，you are really missing out on a huge part of growing up and losing lots of benefits ona whole．The top reason for not learning to drive is the high costs of driving lessons．But，we are here to tell you why you should ignore the costs and pay much attention to the many advantages．At times you aren't or can't be depending on public transportation．Those are the times you areprobably depending on a friend，or your parents for a ride．Knowing how to drive yourself will make you independent and you wouldn't have to fit your plans according to other people s plans．In the recent job world，there may be plenty of jobs．However，you won't be thought to be aneligible candidate（合格的候选人）because you don't know how to drive．（1）When is the best time to learn to drive according to the text？A.When you are in your free time．B.When you are eighteen．C.After you have some driving experience．D.After you find a job．（2）Why do many teens give up learning to drive？A.They are busy looking for jobs．B.They find public transportation more convenient．C.They are unwilling to pay high cost．D.They show no interest in driving．（3）How will you be if you can drive according to paragraph4？A.Independent of parents．B.Easy﹣going for your workmates．C.Reliable for your boss．D.Eligible for jobs．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A.Why Is Driving Comfortable？B.Why Should You Learn to Drive？C.The Methods of Learning to DriveD.Learn to Drive to Find a Job16.(8分)My friend Kyle seemed not excited，though all70of the outdoor seats at his caféwere taken，only three days after he opened the caféin a neighborhood of Los Angeles．"Everybody works at a laptop wearing headphones．"Kyle said．Then he threw the free Wi﹣Fi facilities into a bin．"Three hours for ﹩5worth of coffee is

fact，what Kyle wants to do is to create an environment where café﹣goers can talk to one another，not just make his caféanother silent office．Kyle's case is not alone．Remote workers'have taken over small coffee shops for years．Instead of going to an office each day to work，they just choose to finish their projects at home or，more likely，in a small comfortable cafe just like Kyle's，where they can better concentrate．This being the case，Kyle facesa choice：Be strict and encourage remote workers to leave sooner after the coffee break，or accept themsilently and say goodbye to the traditio nal caféculture．Kyle chooses to speak up for the coffee culture．I can't agree with him more．Coffee，with a history dating back to the9th century，is more than just adrink．Similarly，caféis more than a place to drink a cup of coffee．Cafe has been tied closely to culture．In history，so many small cafés were frequented by the important persons in literature orscience．At that time，people came to a caféto simply talk about love，anger，dreams or even nothing．It was all about a thirsty heart rather than a thirsty mouth．So next time you get seated in a cafécorner，be sure to shut off all your modern equipment and greet the person nearby with a simple"Hello!"（1）What did Kyle do to try to stop the people from working in his café？（2）Where do the"remote workers"often work？（3）What did people do in the

school students feeling the same way．Put those feelings aside and give yourself a big smile!You can make new friends．At the start of high school，a lot of high school students will probably prefer staying around the friends they already know，（3）As a result，it is almost impossible to make new friends．They may be too shy．So don't be afraid to go out and introduce yourself to a new person．Don't be afraid to ask questions．If you don't understand why，ask your teacher right away!It'spossible that your classmates also don't get it and want to ask the samequestion．（4）Join a club you like．High school

She seemed always to be smiling or singing songs.Life wasn’t fair. She passed away. My recovery went well. “You’re really lucky”, a nurse told me. “But how come my operation was so easy and hers wasn’t?” I asked. “Easy?” my dad said. “David, your operation wasn’t easy at all. We thought we were going to lose you. For two weeks after your operation many things could go wrong. You’re really lucky. When you were in the coma (昏迷), she used to come over to your bed and sing to you.

For the health of the planet, they say the same diet will reduce (减少)greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added, the world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste”. So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fishand meat. The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts, fruits, and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet. He said, “More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice Willet said, “If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”8. What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?A. The taste of the food.B. The number of population.C. The climate and our living conditions.D. The food we eat and the way we produce it.9. What does the “planetary health” diet mainly contain?A. Milk.B. Meat.C. Sugar.D. Plants.10. What do scientists say about the “planetary health” diet?A. It is very easy to produce it.B. It is better to try their best to make it.C. It is better to do nothing than fail.D. It is impossible to make it.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Humans Health Is Very Important.B. Many People don’t Get Enough Food.C. A New Kind of diet may Save the Plane.D. Different People have Different Eating Habits.DAbout 10 percent of public school students in the United States learn English as a second language. In some states, that number is much higher. About five million students in the country are considered English language learners, or ELLs. Such students are the fast-growing group in the US public schools.The most commonly first spoken languages among ELLs in America are Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole and Vietnamese. Speakers of those five languages make up 92 percent of all ELLs included in the report.English language learners can choose one of several kinds o1 program. There are some programs, in which students are mostly taught in their native language. And there are other programs, which offer students almost all classroom teaching in English. However, these kinds of programs do not always allow students to write and read in their native language.There are also so-called bilingual programs. These programs offer teaching in two languages-English and another language. Research has shown that English language learners do best in bilingual programs, especially if the second language is their native language.The lack of high-quality bilingual programs is clear. Nationally, about 83 percent of students complete their high school education. But the graduation rate (比率) among English language learners is far lower 65 percent.School systems across the country sometimes look for bilingual educators internationally. But education experts say there are ways for states to find and train new teachers in their own areas. This spring, America came up with a list of “grow your own” rules for schools and states to follow. It advised states to offer a series of ways for bilingualteachers. It also suggested training bilingual teachers in their own areas even if they do not have a college degree.12. What can we learn about English from paragraph 1?A. It is difficult for most students.B. It is popular as a second language in American public schools.C. It is easy for foreign students.D. It is not welcome by public school students.13. How many types of programs for English language learners are mentioned in the text?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.14. What does the underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Learning one language.B. Using two languages.C. National.D. International.15. Where is the text probably from?A. An educational magazine.B. A maths paper.C. A diary.D. A storybook.第三部分语言知识运用(满分65分)第一节(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.Our family enjoyed a beautiful house plant for over thirty years.

Reading第二部分：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）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。
A169 junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is，” said Cai Wen guo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me，” said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators (监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed，” sai d Hua Sha.“I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed，” Liu Qingxi said.“I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them，” Shang guan Yuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams. 21．The passage mainly talks about________.A．how to pass an exam B．how to make students honest C．whether there is cheating in exams D．whether invigilators are needed in exams 22．No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to________.A．let the students have a good test B．teach the students in a better way C．help all the students pass the exam D．find whether the students were honest 23．From what the students have said, we know________.A．invigilators really help them a lot B．all of them think it is a good idea C．something unusual never happens in exams D．not all of them agree with the headmaster24．What does Hua Sha think of no-teacher exams?A．It's a good idea to have no-teacher exams but something must be done first.B．If there are no invigilators, the students will certainly get lower marks.C．Exams without invigilators will never be held since students are not honest.D．She thinks it's the best way to show that schools trust their students a lot.BWhy do we dream？It's a question researchers have been studying for years. Now new research suggests that some dreams may result from the brain's effort to keep learning, even as we sleep.In a study in Boston, 100 volunteers were trained for an hour on a maze (迷宫)．They tried to find their way through the difficult puzzle as quickly as possible. Then half of the volunteers were allowed to sleep for 90 minutes. The other half stayed awake, reading or relaxing. The ones who slept were asked to describe their dreams when they woke up.After the rest, the volunteers were asked again to solve the maze. Those who hadn't slept showed no improvement or did even worse after the break. Sleepers who didn't report any maze related dreams did better but showed only a little improvement. However, four nap-takers who reported dreaming about the maze showed a surprising improvement. They scored 10 times higher after sleeping and dreaming about the maze.Even though the number of dreamers was small, the researchers noted that the gap in learning between the dreamers and non-dreamers was so wide that the finding was significant (有意义的)．The dreamers had all performed poorly on the test before dreaming about it. That suggests that struggling with a task might be the trigger that leads the sleeping brain to focus on it and work on how to deal with it.“It's almost as if your brain is going through everything that happened today，”Dr Stickgold，a scientist at Harvard Medical School, said. “The things you're obsessed (迷住) with ar e the ones that your brain forces you to continue to do with.”25．What's the best title for this passage?A．Learning while you dream B．What dreams stand forC．Dream a good dream D．Dreams and health26．What were the volunteers asked to do after the rest?A．To work on a new maze. B．To continue to do the maze.C．To talk with each other about their dreams. D．To tell what they thought about the maze.27．According to the study, which group showed the greatest improvement?A．Those who didn't sleep.B．Those who slept but didn't dream.C．Those who dreamed about the maze while sleeping.D．Those who thought about the maze before falling asleep.28．The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”．A．chance B．cause C．way D．ideaCIt's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but, it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!Seeing old friends can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers (运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.29．The last paragraph mainly tells us about ________.A．what to know about a new school B．how to prepare for a new school C．what to do on your first day of school D．how to spend your first day of school 30．According to the passage, you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.A．introducing yourself B．learning about the school rules C．making new friends D．going over your new lessons31．If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.A．nervous B．unlucky C．happy D．upset 32．Where can you read the passage?A．In a newspaper. B．In a scientific report. C．In a notice. D．In a freshman handbook.DTeacher’s Day arou nd the world is not celebrated on the same day. In some countries, Teacher’s Day is celebrated on working days.
