武威六中2018～2019学年度第一学期高一英语《unit1-2》第一次模块学习学段性检测试卷本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分第I卷第一部分：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。
ADear Editor,I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss M ao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?Tian YanDear Tian Yan,It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher. But, if she is sti ll in your school, nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher—everyone is happy to know that he or she is liked!If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies, or even your life.Editor1. Tian Yan ______.A. is a troublemakerB. likes Miss Mao very muchC. is happy these daysD. doesn’t like to tell her secret to anyone2. Which of the following does the editor advise Tian Yan NOT to do?A. Find a time to see Miss MaoB. Have a short chat with Miss MaoC. Tell Miss Mao she likes herD. Keep quiet about the thing3. According to the passage, students can make progress in their studies _______.A. completely by their favorite teachersB. completely by their favorite classmatesC. mainly by their parentsD. mainly by themselvesBEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk，laugh and do things with. Surely，there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well，which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away，then we feel very sad. We miss them much，but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again，and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women，if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than those people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you，you take better care of yourself.4. The first paragraph tells us ________.A. none needs friendsB. we need to be aloneC. we always need friends around usD. making friends is the need in people’s life5. Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?A. A house.B. A room.C. A library.D. A village.6. If people have friends，they would live longer，because ________.A. they feel happier and healthierB. they get a lot of help from their friendsC. they take better care of themselvesD. both A and C7. This passage tells us ________.A. that people are all friendsB. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD. how to name a placeCI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with praise, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (专心的) while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (纪律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特点) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (个人的) and unique (独一无二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.8. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____.A. pay more attention to his studyB. keep silent in the roomC. finish his homework on timeD. get right answers9. Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.A. the importance of parentsB. the old form of educationC. the relationship between kids and their parentsD. the good grades of some kids10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.D. Parents should love and accept their kids.11. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Study hard and you’ll be successfulB. Be friendly to your childrenC. Children’s success in their own styleD. Parents’ help with their children’s studyDSome British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you!Dinner parties usually start between 7and 8 pm and end at about 11pm. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extra polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember –it’s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end, they eat with their guests.You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have me at or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want to. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank you, thank you” all the time!12. An English doesn’t invite you to his or her home, which ____.A. doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t like youB. means he or she likes youC. doesn’t mean he or she likes youD. means he or she doesn’t like you13.

Frost attended Dartmouth College after graduating from high school in 1892. In 1894, his first poem, titled“My Butter fly, An E legy”, was published in The Independent. Robert Frost went on to attend Harvard University in 1897 after marrying his wife Elinor in 1895. He left university due to health concerns, and moved to a New Hampshire farm in the year 1900.The time Robert Frost spent on his farm in New Hampshire was very hard for him, his wife and children. He tried to work hard and support his family. However, Frost came to respect country life and grew an appreciation for those living around him. These experiences on the farm inspired many of his well-known poems, including “The Tufts of F lowers” and “The Trial by E xistence”, both of which were published in 1906.It was when Robert Frost decided to sell his farm in 1912 and move to England that he found publishers who were willing to help him. His first collection of poems, “A B oy’s W ill”, was published only a few months after his arrival in England, and “North of Boston” was published a year afterward.By the time that Robert Frost made it back to his home country of America, he had built a solid career and reputation in England and was able to further his success. In 1916, with some influential publishers’ help, Frost published “Mountain I nterval”, which contained poems and stories he had written during his stay in England.Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963 in Boston, at the age of 88. Before passing away, Robert Frost was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his contributions.4. Why did Frost leave Harvard University?A. Because he was eager for the country life.B. Because he had a large family to support.C. Because he developed some health problems.D. Because he had to manage his farm in New Hampshire.5. What made it possible for Frost to finish “The Tufts of F lowers”?A. His love for his family.B. His life on his farm.C. His experiences in EnglandD. His appreciation for publishers.6. When did Frost’s first published collection of poems come out?A. During his stay in America.B. When he was about to sell his farm.C. After he moved to England.D. When he became famous in England.7. The passage is developed _________.A. by following the order of spaceB. by giving reasonsC. by following the order of timeD. by giving examplesCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius (天才)out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person' s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supposed in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, itis likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in differe nt environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.8. Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.9. It is suggested in this passage that_______.A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceB. close relations usually have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence10. Brothers and sisters are likely to_______.A. have similar intelligenceB. have different intelligenceC. go to the same universityD. go to the same factory11. The best title for this article would be_______.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. We Are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing IntelligenceDMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international co operation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.12. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to recover cultural relics.B. The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the AngloFrench Allied Army.13. Most of lost Chinese cultural relics .A. have been recovered by the Chinese governmentB. were bought for little money by foreignersC. are owned by private collectorsD. are housed in foreign museums14. Which of the following statements about the bronze pig's head is NOT true?A. It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B. It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.C. It was donated by the French government to China.D. It was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.15. The underlined word "feasible" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by " ".A. possibleB. difficultC. popularD. careful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。

武威六中2018-2019学年度高三第一次诊断考试英语试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15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。
AHave you ever been to France before? It is not only a country of great food, fashion and art. It’s also home to the most influential painters in the world.Edouard ManetHe was one of the first artists to paint modern life. He began to paint in his own style, but still used some of Couture’s techniques like thick lines and dark colors. He was greatly influenced by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, which can be seen in his use of light shades. Most of his paintings had scenes of daily life on the streets of Paris. His works include Olympia and The Absinthe Drinker.Camille PissarroIn his early years, Pissarro painted scenes of a river or a path from memory. After meeting Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne, who painted in a more realistic style, he changed his course to Impressionism. During his career, he experimented with various styles, and finally formed his own one. His works include Old Market at Rouen and Sunset at St. Charles.Vincent van GoghHe had a huge influence on art in the 20th century. His early works were most painted in somber tones. However, influenced by Monet, Pissarro, and Bernard, he adopted brighter colors in his works, and started creating his own techniques. Although he had produced more than 2,000 works of art, the artist sold only one painting during his lifetime —Red Vineyard at Arles. His works include The Potato Eaters, Starry Night and Bedroom in Arles.Claude MonetHe was the founder of the Impressionist movement and completely changed the French painting in the 19th century. Although he first started by selling charcoal caricatures（木炭讽刺画）in Paris, he soon started painting with oil after meeting Eugene Boudin, who taught him to use oil paints and also encouraged him to paint outdoors. And then he painted with his own style. His works include Impression, Sunrise and The Water Liles.1. What can we learn about Edouard Ma net’s paintings?A. They reflected the changes of life.B. They were mainly about daily life.C. They were all painted in bright colors.D. They were painted in Morisot’s style.2. Which painting was sold by Vincent van Gogh in person?A. The Potato Eaters.B. Bedroom in Arles.C. Red Vineyard at Arles.D. Starry Night.3. What’s the common point of the four painters from the text?A. All of them were given many awards in their life.B. All of them were taught by some famous painters.C. All of them had a good taste in delicious food.D. All of them had their unique styles in painting.BRey Castueiano didn’t plan to become his father’s primary caregiver，but when Castuciano spent six weeks in a nursing home with his father who had a stroke(中风)，it led to a moment that changed Castuciano’s life for the better．“I befriended a lot of the nursing home residents(居民)，”Castuciano says．“I got to know them and noticed how many talents and how much wisdom they had．But there was also a lot of depression and social isolation．”During one of his stops in the nursing home’s cafe，he watched a video about seniors in the United States helping Brazilian students improve their English through Skype sessions．That’s when his ide a was born．He saw a way to benefit two populations，older Americans and newcomers，at once．And in 2014，he founded Table Wisdom，whose mission is to bring together mature adults and younger people born abroad(i.e．，recent immigrants and international students)for weekly guidance and conversational English via video chat．“Being a caregiver wasn’t something I was prepared to do．”he notes．“It was kind of just presented to me，and I had to figure it out．It can be very exhausting and stressful，balancing caregiving with being the founder of a social enterprise．But at the same time，it's satisfying and rewarding work．”And Castueiano says that he’s on the fight path．To date，Table Wisdom has made more than 90 matches．To match people，common interests and personality type are taken into consideration．Most connect by whatever video software they prefer(for example， FaceTime or WeChat)．For the older adults who struggle with technology or don’t have a reliable internet connection，conversations can take place by phone．These days，Castuciano is planning to help his parents reunite with family members in southern California，since his father is now doing well．He says，“Taking care of older people is embedded(融入)in our culture．”4．How did Castuciano have the idea of founding Table Wisdom?A．By working in the nursing h ome’s cafe．B．By helping newcomers improve their English．C．By watching a video about seniors helping students．D．By communicating with residents in the nursing home．5．What is the purpose of Table Wisdom?A．To make sure the old can be well cared for．B．To help the youngsters get rid of loneliness．C．To stress the importance of common interests．D．To benefit the old and newcomers by video chat．6．According to the passage，we can infer that___________．A．people can make conversations only on the InternetB．Table Wisdom works well and contributes to cultural exchangeC．age and interests are considered necessary when matching peopleD．Table Wisdom offers young people monthly conversational English7．Which of the following can describe Cast uciano’s job as a caregiver?A．Dangerous but rewarding． B．Challengeable and impractical．C．Tiring but worthwhile．D．Stressful and meaningless．COn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision(监管).A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks.“We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades(十年).I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.8. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friendsfeel________.A. worriedB. proudC. doubtfulD. terrified9. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. American kids enjoy playing at homeB. German parents are less protective than American parentsC. German kids like taking risks more than American kidsD. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time10. It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ________.A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risksB. more and more parents suffer from mental problemsC. children are having more opportunities to take control of their livesD. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development11. Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?A. Open-minded.B. Irresponsible.C. Careless.D. Protective.DGol dfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it’s all because of technology.“We move quickly from one site to another on the web, ”says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions（分心）too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites. Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You n eed time to understand and think about what you read,” says Julia Wood, from London. “Youn g people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”Other teachers a re trying more unusual methods to improve students’concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her sciencelessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, an d their concentration was much better.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says: “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”12. Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?A. To analyze data.B. To introduce a topic.C. To settle problems.D. To suggest a way out.13. What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?A. Skipping around the internet.B. Time to digestinformation.C. Traditional methods of reading.D. Making decisions.14. What will help students overcome a short attention span?A. Receiving emails.B. Texting messages.C. Reading more books.D. Watching quickie movies.15. What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly?A. Cautious.B. Unfavorable.C. Skeptical.D. Supportive.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。

There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools(小学). In most provinces, Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.From grade 8 to 9 through 12 or 13, children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years, such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada, teenagers usually make these choices for themselves , with the advice of their teachers, guidance counselor (指导老师)and parents.School usually offer extra (额外的) activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports, games, music and clubs.Most elementary school and high schools encourage pare nts to take part in school activities. Parents’ nights are organized from time to time.

Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper fi rst reported the whales’ coming.A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown.
