AI used to dislike television. I used to think that people spent too much time watching it. A lot of my friends used to talk about the sports programmes and films on it. They never read any books or went out in the evenings. I always refused to buy a TV set.Last year I was 60 and I retired from my job. My son bought me a TV set. “It will keep you know more,” he said. And it is quite true. I wat ched all the news programmes. I know far more about the world now. And I read more books,too. In fact,I think I may follow one of the open university TV courses next year. Perhaps I'll graduate when I am 65.There's only one problem. I get quite angry when people interrupt one of my favourite programmes. My friends don't understand that I can change my ideas when I are 60.1. The writer refused to buy a TV set because he thought that _________A. it was uselessB. it wasted a lot of timeC. it was expensiveD. he couldn’t pay for it2.

Now the writer knows far more about the world _____A. by reading booksB. on the radioC. by watching TVD. by traveling around the world4. According to the passage above, which of the following is NOT true?A. The writer dislikes TV as he used toB. The writer likes watching TVC. The writer enjoys watching TVD. The writer is interested in watching TVBBefore you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things.The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a frightened or angry looking face.One easy way to start a talk with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about the mselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a talk. Make sure you have something to add to the talk, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for it.Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.5. This passage gives us some advice on_______.A.how to make friends B.what kind of person you can make friends with C.how to start a talk D.the importance of smile6. Most people like to make friends with those________.A.who are sad every day B.who share the same interestC.who are fond of talking D.who say bad things to them7. According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one_______.A.who is always smiling B.who seems to be friendlyC.who praises them D.who points out their shortcomingsCCan you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grow older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step, you were able to make the right sound for one thing.On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things,such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea, such as "1 want to go out and play with my friends." This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.8. When you were a little baby, you_________.A. came to understand the secret of languageB. spent most of your time playing with your parentsC. could not hear any sound around youD. spent most of your time eating, playing and crying9. The secret of language is that____________.A. one sound might be as good as anotherB. people can understand each otherC. a certain sound is for a certain thingD. there is a special sound for each person10. You could learn words_____________.A. before you knew what the language wasB. after you knew what the language wasC. if you knew the secret of the languageD. when you were a baby11. The aim of using language is .A. to get everything one wants from othersB. to say what one wants to knowC. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc with one anotherD. to show one is as good as anotherDIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know it is his own fault(不足). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parent may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, which they cannot write down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercises.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from people; practise remembering things in a way as other people do.12. Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.A. he can’t read or writeB. he doesn’t use his memory oftenC. his parents haven’t got a good memoryD. h e doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time13. Which of the following is true?A. your memory doesn’t work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.14. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents’ faultC. his teachers’ faultD. his grandmother’s fault15. The writer wants to tell us ___________.A. how to use our arms or legsB. how to read and writeC. how to have a good memoryD. how to learn from other people第二部分:语言知识应用第一节:完形填空:(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文.掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中,选出最佳选项。

2024-2025学年度第一学期高一英语期中考试卷试卷满分:100分第一部分阅读理解(共20 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分50 分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B.A.R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B.A.R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B.A.R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1.What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A.Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B.Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C.Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D.The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2.Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B.A.R. K?A.To help students to fight against homesickness.B.To do research on dogs and train them to be pets.C.To help more professors to do exercise on campus.D.To give assistance to the pet dogs by offering them foods.3.Which university doesn’t allow students to keep pets?A.Harvard University. B.University of Oxford.C.University of Illinois. D.University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4.Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To entertain readers.B.To introduce the topic.C.To make an advertisement.D.To keep readers away from it.5.What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A.The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B.Print newspapers have become less popular.C.Stories about death have become less popular.D.Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6.What may negative reports lead people to do?A.Live a hopeful life.B.Become more careful.C.Become less likely to help others.D.Pay more attention to their physical health.7.What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Ignore B.Hate C.Laugh at D.Care about8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Survey on News Reading Habits B.Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC.Is Online News Better Than Print?D.Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9.What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A.An invisible chair.B.An old chair.C.A real chair.D.Nothing.10.Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A.To see whether Mario could sit on it. B.To test who were Mario’s true friends.C.To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D.To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11.How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A.He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B.He managed to sit on the chair finally.C.His friends held him up with their hands. D.His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12.What does the story tell us?A.Never laugh at our friends. B.True friends can help us do magic.C.True friends are those who care for us. D.Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question:What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任):Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13.According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A.We will have no problems with studyB.We will get a better seat in the classroomC.We will get the best scores in the examsD.We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14.What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A.The happy time you have in the classroomB.Getting along very well with classmatesC.A better relationship between you and your teacherD.The disappearance of personality differences15.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The importance of friendship in schools.B.The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C.Studying skills for students.D.Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16.As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A.You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB.You are thought of as a good studentC.You know some basic social skillsD.You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分,共5分,根据短文内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

"Hey!" she shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?" "No problem." he said. "I'll be right back," Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and loaded a red chair into her car. Then she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat, and she cut his curly graying hair. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. "I look good!" he said.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living on the margins, and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. "It's more than a haircut," she says. "I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships."Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: as a teen, she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller's first professional haircut. "To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a person, it helped me feel cared about." she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project.Steller listens to people's stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a woman's hair one day, someone drove by and yelled, "You look amazing!" The woman in the chair smiled very happily. "I'm not unnoticed," she exclaimed. "Look, people see me!" "The way you show up in the world matters," says Steller. "You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them."(1)Steller gives haircuts to those who ________.A.live with low social statusB.live in the countrysideC.live on the edge of the citiesD.live in small communities(2)What inspired Steller to start her Red Chair Project?A.Her generosity to the poor.B.Her experience in illness.C.Her fear of being alone.D.Her skill of doing hair.(3)How did the woman in the chair feel?A.Confident.B.Shy.C.Shocked.D.Cheerful.(4)Which is the best title for the text?A.Simple Action of KindnessB.A Successful Salon OwnerC.The Power of Free CutsD.The Change of LifeD.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.(4)Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.6.I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles"(风格)of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑)in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!(1)When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually ________.A.describe the place carefullyB.show him a map of the placeC.refer to recognizable buildings and placesD.tell him the names of the streets(2)What is the place where people measure distance in time?A.New York.B.Kansas.C.Los Angeles.D.Iowa.(3)People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.A.in order to save timeB.as a testC.for funD.so as to be polite(4)What can we infer from the text?A.It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.(5)Which statement is NOT true according to the text?A.People in Los Angeles have not idea of distance on the map.B.In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks.C.A New Yorker may give a tourist a wrong answer to be polite.D.In Japan people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.四、书面表达(本题共计 2 小题,每题 5 分,共计10分)7. 假定你是李华,你的英国朋友Mark希望向你了解国画的相关知识,因你临时有事,需要推迟见面时间。
