The warning is: The sun’s summertime rays(光线) are more dangerous than once thought.A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer(层) of ozone (臭氧层) in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet（紫外线）radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data(数据) from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban(禁止) of the chemicals.41.The scientists have observed the ozone layer_____.A. since 1980B. since last winterC for about 30 years D. for about one year42. The ozone layer in the atmosphere can _____.A. do a lot of good to human beings in many waysB. protect humans from diseases caused by bad weatherC. do a lot of harm to human beings in the summer-timeD. protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation43. Scientists first found that there was a hole in the ozone layer_____.A. above Arctic during the winter in the mid-1980sB. above Antarctica during the winter in the mid-1980sC. over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980D. over the U.S.A in the summertime in the mid-1980s44. The damage to the ozone layer was caused by_____.A. the changeable weatherB. ozone-destroying chemicalsC. chemicals from refrigeratorsD. chemicals from air conditionersBChess ClubThe Chess Club is open to anyone interested in chess, including the novice, the expert, or anyone in between!

What does the underl ined word “novice” probably mean in the passage?A. Child.B. Player.C. Beginner.D. Teacher.46. Li Yan, a Chinese girl hoping to learn communication skills, might call ____________.A. Behrooz VakilB. Lee Ann NelsonC. Michele KilleenD. Darren Osburn47. Mike is curious about different cultures. He should sign up for ____________.A. Chess ClubB. Soccer ClubC. Communications ClubD. Global Student Network48. If you want to play in the soccer league competition, you have to _____________.A. raise money for the Soccer ClubB. be tested how well you play soccerC. take part in the spring seasonD. know the medical insurance policyC“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” —these are the statements my mother used to make to raise my sense of discipline(纪律) when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teac her is Sharon Clomps who says of her students—“so passive” —and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Clomps, contributes to children’s passivity(被动). “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never b een hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.49. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfill too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them50. We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to pay more attention to _______.A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school51. By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para.2) the author mean s a time _______.A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education52. The main idea of the passage is that _______.A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. it’s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kids篇章结构：阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。
2015-2016学年浙江省绍兴市诸暨中学高一下学期期中考试英语(解析版)
2015-2016学年浙江省绍兴市诸暨中学高一下学期期中考试英语When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “ Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray，a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “ What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they loved me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.1．The main idea of the passage is __________ .A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB. What a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC. why Liz loved her parents so muchD. how Liz struggled to change her life2．In which order did the following things happen to Liz ?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admission into Harvard University.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble about finding a place to sleep.A. b, a , e , c, dB. a , b , c , e , dC. e , d, b , a , cD. b , e , a , d , c3．What actually made her go towards her goal?A. Envy and encouragement.B. Willpower and determination .C. Decisions and understanding.D. Love and respect for her parents.4．When she wrote “What drove me to live on … I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that __________ .A. she had little experience of social life.B. she could hardly understand the society.C. she would do something for her own life.D. she needed to travel more around the world.Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin.” She should have been up there,” says historian （历史学家） Mary Bowden.” If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars（学者）doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitorsAt Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project. What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA . She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming intothe light.5．What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.6．Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists7．Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.C. Her name was forgotten after her death.D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.8．What is the writer’s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?A. Disapproving.B. Respectful.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books, e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity. Japan is known for the reform-minded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book, the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter. 9．Why are e-books so popular in the world?A. It’s cheap to buy.B. It’s effective to use.C. It’s convenient to bring.D. It’s the latest fashion.10．Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reform-minded”in the second paragraph?A. Old-fashioned.B. Aggressive.C. Rejecting.D. Progressive.11．In America, the students are encouraged to .A. apply the procedure of downloading the coursesB. communicate with their teachers using computersC. research some interactive software for their studiesD. do their homework in computer instead of in paper12．What’s the author’s attitude to the digital textbooks?A. Being against.B. Being for.C. Not mentioned.D. Being neutral.Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess（公爵夫人）found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling”as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .13．This passage mainly discusses .A. the history of tea drinking in BritainB. how tea became a popular drink in BritainC. how the Britons got the habit of drinking teaD. how tea-time was born14．Tea became a popular drink in Britain .A. in the sixteenth centuryB. in the seventeenth centuryC. in the eighteenth centuryD. in the late seventeenth century15．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of .A. a famous French ladyB. the ancient ChineseC. the upper(上层的) social classD. people in Holland完型填空Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time.

AThe Chinese name system has a long history. Today, there are over 700 different Chinese family names, but as few as twenty cover most of the Chinese family names. Most Chinese family names have only one character, but there are a few with two. Chinese family names are written first, something that often causes confusion among those from countries where the family name usually comes last.Generally speaking, Chinese given names have one or two characters, and are written after the family names. When a baby was born, parents often give him/her a “milk name” or “little name”, such as Xiaobao. The given name is then chosen somewhat later, but the parents may continue to use the nickname. Given names of males are linked with strength and firmness while females with beauty and flowers. Females sometimes have names that repeat a character.Chinese personal names may also reflect periods of history. For example, many Chinese born during the Cultural Revolution have “revolutionary names”, such as “Guoqiang”, “Dongfeng”, or even “Wenge”!Chinese married women usually keep their maiden names (娘家姓) as their family names, rather than use the names of their husband, and children usually use their fathers‟ family name.With a limited supply of family names, Chinese depend on using given names to introducevariety in naming. Almost any character with any meaning can be used. However, it is not considered appropriate (合适) to name a child after a famous person and highly impolite after an older member among the family or even distant relatives.11. From the passage, we know that ______.A. women should change their family names after getting marriedB. children‟s nicknames are not used when they grow upC. people usually name their children after some famous peopleD. Chinese family names usually have only one character12. Some Westerners may feel confused when they find ______.A. Chinese family names are written at the beginning before given namesB. Chinese family names are written at the end of the full namesC. there are so many Chinese people using the same family nameD. there are only 700 Chinese names for people to choose from13. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Chinese names?A. Some Chinese family names may have two characters.B. Only a few characters could be used as given names.C. Children don‟t like their nicknames given by their parents.D. Children can be named after their grand-parents‟ names.BChilean miner Edison Pena plans to run the New York City Marathon on Sunday, less than a month after he was rescued from a collapsed (坍塌的) mine that trapped him for 69 days. Pena ran 10 km daily through the mine‟s tunnels (巷道) to beat the anxiety, wearing cut-down boots until rescuers sent him a pair of sports shoes through a narrow hole that served as the miners‟ “lifeline” to the surface.“When I ran in the darkness, I was running for life,” Pena told a news conference in New York. “I was running to show that I wasn‟t just waiting around. I al so wanted God to see that I really wanted to live.”The New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, had invited Pena to be a guest at Sunday‟s race, but he said last week he did not want to watch, he wanted to run. “I was very eager to take on thi s big challenge,” he said. “I wanted to show the world I could run.” He hopedto run the 26.2-mile race in about six hours. “I have a knee injury, but I am eager to cross the finish line,” he said. Last year, Meb Keflezighi won the men‟s marathon in two ho urs, nine minutes and 15 seconds.An Elvis Presley fan who asked rescuers to send the singer‟s music down into the mine, Pena broke into song at the news conference with the Presley hit Return to Sender. The miners were discovered alive on August 22—17 days after the mine collapsed, but it took two months for rescuers to dig a hole big enough to bring them out.14. When trapped underground, Pena ran a long way every day to ______.A. find a way to get outB. dig a lifeline to the groundC. keep himself from coldnessD. get rid of his uneasy feelings15. According to the passage, Pena ______.A. wore sports shoes while working undergroundB. hoped to break Keflezighi‟s running recordC. was not expected to run the marathon at firstD. got badly hurt on the knee in the mine accident16. Pena can be best described as ______.A. open-mindedB. strong-willedC. hard-workingD. warm-heartedCA telescope (望远镜), called Gaia, is being designed by astronomers in Europe, and it couldn‟t be more differe nt from Pan-STARRS, which is another telescope being designed. While Pan-STARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for Earth, Gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系).Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located, Gaia‟s map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are. Over five years, Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy. Each object will be observed about 70 times.Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket. It contains two telescopes, each focused at a different angle (角度). These two telescopes act like Gaia‟s “eyes”. The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object, at slightly different angles. By using two telescopes like eyes, Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.Gaia, which is to be sent into space in 2011, will be a powerful telescope. If you were to use it on Earth, for example, you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now. The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising. The universe, with all its planets, stars and other strange objects, is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes.17. How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.18. The map to be drawn by Gaia ______.A. can show every building on EarthB. can show you where your town isC. will just show the stars around EarthD. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy19. What‟s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What Gaia will do in space.B. When Gaia will start to work.C. How powerful Gaia will be.D. What Gaia will do to Earth.20. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _______.A. seem very surprising to scientistsB. will not be put into use in a short timeC. will just look at new things in universeD. will be more powerful than the old generations第二节(共5个小题; 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。
