绝密★启用前江苏省南通中学2019-2020学年高一上学期期末模拟考试英语试题试卷副标题注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题)请点击修改第I 卷的文字说明 一、阅读理解I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self -effacing (谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, foodobsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731.Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so试卷第2页，总11页I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart peop le. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine mad woman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?1．What’s Andy probably busy in doing now? A ．He’s running his company. B ．He’s playing golf all day. C ．He’s looking for another job. D ．He’s playing computer games.2．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “______”. A ．a dilemma B ．my real friend C ．FacebookD ．Twitter3．The text is developed mainly by ______. A ．giving examples B ．following the time order C ．listing figures D ．raising questionsThe speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction.Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and pecu liar to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.4．In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.A．gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB．had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC．was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD．could think and speak intelligently5．The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.A．neutral B．positiveC．critical D．compromising6．It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A．it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB．the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level C．English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD．language improvement needs time and effortSunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around￡10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp (安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emittingdiode (二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to试卷第4页，总11页light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system’s keeper must buy a scratch card — for as little as a dollar — on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company’s server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around ￡80 worth of scratch cards — which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months — the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.According to Eight19’s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around ￡10 a month on oil — enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps — plus ￡2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of o ne of Eight19’s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper. 7．The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “______”. A ．make use of B ．come up with C ．look intoD ．deal with8．What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up? A ．Buy a scratch card. B ．Recharge it outside. C ．Buy another solar cell. D ．Return it to the company.9．How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?A ．Around ￡10.B ．Around ￡80.C ．Around ￡90.D ．Around ￡180.10．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A．Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cellB．using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save moneyC．few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricityD．the company will make a great profit from selling solar cellsKodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy (破产) protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complace ncy (自满),” that explanation doesn’t acknowledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate (企业的) culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo suppli es. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win apermanent foothold in the marketplace.试卷第6页，总11页11．What do we learn about Kodak? A ．It went bankrupt all of a sudden. B ．It is approaching its downfall.C ．It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.D ．It is playing a dominant role in the film market.12．Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera? A ．To show its early attempt to reinvent itself. B ．To show its effort to overcome complacency. C ．To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution. D ．To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.13．Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets? A ．They find it costly to give up their existing assets. B ．They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges. C ．They are unwilling to invest in new technology. D ．They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.14．What doe s the author say Kodak’s history has become? A ．A burden. B ．A mirror. C ．A joke. D ．A challenge.15．What was Kodak’s fatal mistake? A ．Its blind faith in traditional photography. B ．Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence. C ．Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics. D ．Its overconfidence in its corporate culture. 二、完形填空It’s about 250 miles from the hills of west -central Iowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota.

In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one.36． They find that the phones are more than a means of communication – having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity(负面报道)of such ideas. 37．On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. 38． This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years.39． The answer is radiation(辐射).

In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.A ．They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.B ．What do the doctors worry about?C ．In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people.D ．Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.

Secondly, we should make conscious choices when it comes to transportation. Using public transport, cycling, or walking instead of driving cars can significantly reduce air pollution and carbon emissions. Additionally, we should support green initiatives such as planting trees, using renewable energy sources, and advocating for stricter environmental regulations. By taking small steps in our daily lives, we can all contribute to protecting the environment and preserving it for future generations.。

Your car is a necessary part of your life．You use it every day．Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer．But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day．In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute!And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50: 50 chance of seeing it again． Each year, car crime costs nearly£3billion．Of course, if you're insured, you won't lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may notbe offered the full amount by the agent．You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories （配件） in the car．Now comes the solution．An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47possible secret locations in your car, is the key of our system．If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty﹣second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network．Then a computer gives the vehicle's exact location, speed and direction． The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24hours a day, 365days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located．Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicle's location．Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you．RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction．And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle．RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24﹣hour Guardian Option．________ will also tell you if your car has been stolen．RAC Trackstar's constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car's location．All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again．（1）If your car is stolen，you will have to________．A hire a new carB pay more insuranceC buy a RAC Trackstar systemD inform the National Control Center．（2）The Trackstar system can tell the police________．A how the car is stolenB who the thief isC what brand the car isD where thecar is．（3）The underlined word"It"in the last paragraph refers to________．A the local police stationB the Guardian OptionC the insurance companyD the RAC Trackstar Control．（4）According to the passage，people with RAC Trackstar________．A automatically find directionsB seldom get their vehicles damagedC have less chance of being in an accidentD are more likely to get the stolen cars back．3. Online ticketing has been effective for the London theatre market．The advantages comi ng with it are many, but four in particular stand for the true value．They are accessibility, sp eed, advanced planning and avoiding the queues．Accessibility is key from the viewpoint of both the theatre and the theatre goer．Theatres need to be able to reach out to the public．A show may have a market of millions if they concentrate efforts in London only, but that number will increase to tens of millions if efforts expa nd nationwide．From the point of view of a theatre lover, the fact that the West End, the central part of Lon don is accessible to someone in Edinburgh is a major attraction．Most theatre lovers would be anxious to go to a West End play or musical, and securing tickets for their favourite show online allows them to realize that strong desire with ease．Making the journey to London an d staying for a weekend is an added reward to the main event．Another advantage is speed, with securing tickets now taking a matter of minutes．What i s needed is a few minutes on the Internet, the relevant personal and credit card details, and a booking number with which to collect the tickets at the theatre on the night．Of course, for tourists or professionals from out of town, Internet booking has made it poss ible to arrange entertainment for a specific evening well in advance．Occupying their time af ter conference hours can be a challenge for professionals．With tickets secured in advance, t he plan can be made much clearer．Tourists, meanwhile, may include a night on the West En d on their list of things to do．Booking before even arriving in the city helps to streamline th eir busy touring schedule．The fourth advantage of buying London theatre tickets online is the fact that queuing is avo ided．It is perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of the traditional visit to the box office, partic ularly when demand for Dirty Dancing tickets, for example, can have a person waiting for ho urs before even reaching the box office window, even worse the sold out sign would suddenl y appear before him．These advantages reflect the true value of that mode of online ticketing．It has pleased the theatre lovers, expanding theatre markets．It is likely to bring more and more benefit to the theatre world．（1）What is the passage mainly about？________A The reality of theatre market in London．B The appearance of online entertainment ．C The benefits of buying theatre tickets online．D The arrangements of spending a day in London．（2）How is Paragraph 6mainly developed？________A By describing activities．B By making comparisons．C By showing differences ．D By giving examples．（3）Which of the following shows the development of the ideas in this passage？________ 4.Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver's survival. ________ However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow andwhispered, "Let me see the child, and die."The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. "You must not talk about dying yet," he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back-and died. "Poor dear!" said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat. "The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties," he said. "If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet." Then he looked at the dead woman. "The Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when the mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?""She was brought here last night," replied the old woman. "She was found lying in the street. She'd walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows."The doctor lifted the girl's left hand. "The old story," he said sadly, shaking his head. "No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night."And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was-an orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhapshe would have cried even more loudly.There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special "baby farm" nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who "looked after" them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children's food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale,thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.On Oliver's ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her."Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!" she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage?A Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.B The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.C Doctors were usually paid too little for the work theydid. D Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.（2）Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?A Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world.B Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry.C In fact, the world was privileged（荣幸）to have him in it.D After all, death was a common event in the workhouse.（3）It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to________.A keep the children inside working all the timeB protect the children inside from dangers outsideC ensure the children were always neat and cleanD prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly（4）According to the passage, Mrs Mann ________.A was enthusiastic about looking after childrenB provided children with little food and few comfortsC cared little about Mr Bumble's abrupt appearanceD beat children frequently to make them mentally strong（5）What is the passage mainly about?A Mother's death.B Oliver's personality.C Oliver's early life.D People's selfishness.二、七选五5. 阅读短文，并按照要求完成下面的小题。
