2018-2019学年第一学期高一年级期中英语试卷第一部分听力（略）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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIt'll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends, Susie. I still cannot decide what to give her. She's a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to. I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously. And then during practice I got a chance to know her better. In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person. Soon we become good friends.I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will like. This year I want something different and special but I don't know what to give. One day I searched the internet without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.I scanned some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts. I chose a special personalized bracelet. I'm sure that this will look perfect on her. I put our arms as part of the design of the bracelet so that it'll remind us that we'll forever be friends. I can't wait to give her my gift but I won't tell her yet. I don't want to destroy the surprise.21. Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend?A. Susie is good at solving problems.B. She and the author have lots of things to talk about.C. Susie is a friendly and warm-hearted person.D. She can always offer help when the author is in need.22. Finally the author found a nice gift for her friend_____A. with the help of somebody elseB. while going onlineC. while doing shopping in a storeD. without difficulty23. The author wanted to put her and her friend's names in the bracelet in order to _____.A. give her friend a big surpriseB. make the present more specialC. remind her friend of their difference between them.D. make her friend remember their friendship forever.21BIf you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar---or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.24. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? _______A. Reading and listeningB. Reading and writingC. Writing and speakingD. Speaking and listening25. To improve your reading, when you read you should ____.A. look up all the new words in the dictionary.B. think about what you are reading activelyC. spend more time studying grammarD. copy as many words and sentences as possible26. The underlined words “come across” in paragraph3 probably be replaced by_____.A. meet by accidentB. discoverC. find on purposeD. look for27. The author seems to agree with the view that _____.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn’t practice liste ning if you keep in reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearingCWhen you come to London for a trip, it's best to plan a day out so as to maximize the number of things you can see. Time permitting, we can offer advice by e-mail if there's anything you particularly want to see.If you are only in London for a day, a weekend or a week, use our SHORT STAY pages where we show you how to fill as much into your days as possible.The best season to come is late Summer or Autumn —— recently we have been having Indian Summers from mid-September to the end of October with clear blue skies and 20 degree temperatures. Finally the weather breaks as the storm fronts move in off the Atlantic, then clears up for Christmas. February to April can be terrible, and the weather is very unpredictable. Ask the Meteorological office here for facts and figures but they are so often wrong.When it's raining there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit —— and the tube system is generally very good outside of rush hour.It's best for you to be near a tube station when choosing a hotel, because buses can be slow and unreliable and taxis expensive. The yellow circle line on the tube map marks the division between central and not-so-central London. Outside of that area your transport bill will rise. The best restaurants are in Islington and the southwest of London which is where the life is.28. The Meteorological office in the third paragraph is a place where_______．A. people can know what London is likeB. people can get information about tourismC. people can know what the weather is likeD. people can get information about transportation29. When considering where to live, visitors need to pay more attention to _______in London.A. the trafficB. the living conditionC. the foodD. the price30. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. There are many museums and galleries in London.B. The tube system in London is very good at any time.C. One can get more information by sending e –mail.D. Autumn is the best season for visiting London.31. The passage is mainly written for those who_______ .A. are going to serve as tour guidesB. are planning to live in LondonC. are going to visit LondonD. are going to work in LondonDPaper cutting is one of China's most popular folk arts. Archaeological (考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.21教育名师原创作品In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms, mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together inworkshops.32. How long has paper cutting lasted at least?A. About 600 years.B. About 1,500 years.C. About 2,000 years.D. About 2,700 years.33. People put up paper cuts on the windows in order to ________.A. make them look more beautifulB. show others their excellent skillsC. bring them good luck in the new yearD. sell them on the Eve of the Spring Festival34. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. Two kinds of paper cuts.B. Paper cuts are made by hand.C. Paper cuts are made by machine.D. The process of making paper cuts.35. Paper cuts are usually about ________.A. family members of the artistsB. sports and social activitiesC. fights between animalsD. things in our daily life第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the water was too deep, the waves were too strong and I couldn't swim back. The waves made it almost impossible for anyone to hear my cries. Tears mixed with water as I struggled to get back to the shore. My sister, using .all her strength couldn’t pull me onto the shore (海岸). The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under; l made my way to the top, gasped for air, and then was pulled back under. I turned onto my back and tried to float to regain some energy, but the waves were too large, making it impossible to stay still or afloat. I couldn’t breathe. I thought I was going to die!Two girls playing on the sandbar (沙洲) tried pulling me onto it, but as a result they couldn't stand in the water and then gave up. Still struggling, crying for the lifeguard, I used all my strength to swim to the shore. My strength was almost gone. All I could do was keep screaming.Suddenly a man came rushing toward me. The waves acted as if they were his friends, carrying him toward me easily. When he got close, he caught my arm and calmly brought me to the shore. But before I could thank him he had disappeared. I stood there with my eyes full of tears. The waves that I had been playing in would have killed me if it had not been for the angel.

The cost of learning to swimCOne morning, my one-year-old dog, Zappa, and I took our usual walk along the driveway in front of our house in western Queensland. A male emu (鸸鹋) and his seven babies were quietly walking down the far end of the driveway.After a while I noticed that the father began walking in our direction - his neck feathersl fluffing out (拦开) slightly. Then he began to pick up pace, running purposely towards us on his powerful legs, and making his long thin neck look about 20 centimetres thick.Zappa stood quietly beside me until the emu, now at full speed, was about five metres from us. His large yellow threatening eyes focused on me. I quickly looked around for a stick or any sort of weapon, but of course the driveway was clean. I dared not turn and run, as the emu would easily outpace(超越) me.Frightened, I took off my hat, waved it and jumped up and down and screamed, attempting to make myself appear bigger and scarier.Zappa followed my lead and started barking. Surprised, the emu came to a stop, wheeled around and walked back down the driyeway with a very angry dog following him.Before they'd gone too far, I called Zappa off-not wanting either to get into a fight or be hurt. He responded immediately and started to jog back to me.Quick as a flash, the emu realised he wasn't being chased (追赶)any more and raced straight at the dog. He nearly caught him, as I shouted a warning. Zappa turned around, and chased the bird back down the driveway. I let him go this time. I could hear his barking, and then all was quiet.Shaken by our frightening incident, I thought it would put a stop to our morning walks for a while, but the next day Zappa was ready to do it all again.

"Your success during the school year," wrote Harry and Rosemary Wong in this classic American teaching guide, "will be determined by what you do on the first days of school. You must have everything ready and organized when school begins."Like many American teachers I had known, I had taken this philosophy to heart - to such an extent that I had been in the habit of crafting detailed, minute-by-minute lesson plans for the first few days of school since my first year of teaching in Massachusetts, USA. So, to get ready for that big, first days of school in Finland, I did what I had always done as a teacher in America.But in Finland, when that first week of school arrived, I noticed something strange. Many of my Finnish colleagues hadn't visited their schools all summer long. The day before school began, I met one young teacher who admitted she was still deciding what to do that week. To my American eyes, my Finnish colleagues didn't look particularly ready or organized for the first days of school.I had entered that school year thinking that, as long as I controlled the clock and the physical environment, everything would turn out fine in my classroom. But my Finnish colleagues seemed to prefer to keep things a little loose at the beginningof the year.I think it' s important to have a 'soft start' in order to let the school routines(常规) gently grow into the kids," said Johanna Hopia, a classroom teacher. In Hopia'sclassroom, the first days are usually spent discussing summer vacation, playing games,and exercising together.This August, Jere Linnanen, a history teacher, took four groups of ninth- gradersto a nearby park, where they chatted and danced. "I want to start the school withas little stress as possible," Linnanen said, "both for myself and mystudents." .A similar philosophy is found in Finland's newest curriculum framework (课程纲要）for basic education: "Learning is supported by a peaceful and friendly workingatmosphere and a calm, peaceful mood."32.What was the author's attitude to Harry and Rosemary Wong' s viewpoint?A.

A bit boring.B. Rather traditional.C. Quite challenging.D. Very relaxing.35. What does the text mainly discuss?A. How Finland starts the school year.B. How a textbook influences theUS.C.
