山东省潍坊市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Why waste time and money booking a hotel when you can enjoy the beautiful British countryside at these wonderful motorhome and caravan (旅行拖车) destinations in the UK.Ferneley’s Ice Cream and CafeLocated between the coast and the countryside, this beautiful location offers a bit of everything for families, and their dogs. What makes Ferneley’s stand out is their family farm that creates fresh local produce using milk from their own cows. It’s also a great chance for kids to learn more about what goes on at a farm and how they raise their cattle.Halfpenny Green VineyardProducing prize-winning English wines for over 30 years, Halfpenny Green Vineyard, is a wine-lover’s favourite in the green Staffordshire countryside. You can park up your campervan for free and take a guided tour around the site while tasting the produce.

This is a must-visit for beer lovers.Rectory FarmWith a mass of parking space, a large pick-your-own farm with large fields and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and a children’s woodland play area, the Rectory Farm offers the perfect family day out. It’s even got a lovely farm shop with an outdoor cafe, so you can sit and relax with a coffee while the kids eat their fruits.1．What can visitors do in Halfpenny Green Vineyard?A．Make wines.B．Win some prizes.C．Learn knowledge about animals.D．Visit the site at will.2．Which destination is the least likely choice for families with kids?A．Ferneley’s Ice Cream and Cafe.B．Halfpenny Green Vineyard.C．Fur and Feather Inn.D．Rectory Farm.3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A tourist review.B．A geography book.C．A novel.D．A travel brochure.In 1943, Roman Totenberg, a violinist, bought a rare (稀有的) and special violin called a Stradivarius. It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4．Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A．It cost him a lot of money.B．It had served as a useful arm.C．It had been his musical partner.D．It was created by a famous maker.5．What is the turning point of this story?A．The FBI got in touch with Jill.B．The Stradivarius was found missing.C．Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D．The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6．Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A．They intended to become well-known.B．They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C．They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D．They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7．Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A．Expert and confident.B．Creative and careful.C．Learned and proud.D．Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8．Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees.B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species.D．Polluting the rivers.9．What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather.B．The removal of CO2.C．More people with high blood pressure.D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10．How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition.D．By making a summary.11．What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful.B．Worried.C．Positive.D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12．Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies.B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends.D．Surfing the internet.13．Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14．What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening.B．Awkward.C．Hopeless.D．Encouraging. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A．Learning difficulty.B．The reason for this is simple.C．Such exercise strengthens the brain.D．Inability to fully understand the world.E．It then makes you picture what you read.F．It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G．The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runne r because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. Ifought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income. B．To encourage people to plant trees.C．To allow people to get more rest. D．To remind people to get close to nature. 9．Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A．Increase.

B．No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C．Each animal is important to nature. D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AOn April 8th, 2013, the world felt sorry because of the death of former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who died at the age of 87．Besides being the country’s longest leader （1979-1990）in the 20th century, she was the first woman to lead Britain．She worked hard and did well in her work, so she was calle d “Iron Lady”．Whatever you think of Margaret Thatcher, the thing everyone does agree on is that she was awoman with great decisions．When she took over Britain in 1979, she led a country that was in economic trouble．She faced a lot of problems because of the poor economic position．In order to make the country become strong again, Ms．Thatcher had to make some hard and special decisions like raising interest rates and even taxes at a time when most British people were living a hard life．In this way she led Britain to run out of economic troubles．Early in her second term, just as things were looking a little better, she faced another problem — a strike by the British Miners Union．Once again, the Iron Lady stood her ground to stop the longest strike in the co untry’s history．In 1982, Argentina said that they had owned the Falkland Islands since the 19th century．Britain, however, considered the islands to be one of their overseas dependent territories （领土）．Margaret Thatcher tried to talk about the problem with Argentines．But Argentines didn’t agree with her ideas, so Ms．Thatcher did what any strong leader would do — send in the British Army．It took 74 days, and on 14th June 1982, the Argentine army finally failed and Britain controlled the Falkland Islands again．When Ms．Thatcher resigned in 1990, she left behind a country that was very strong．Unluckily, during the last few years of her life, something was wrong with her mind．She hardly remembered anything that was happening around her and even what she had done during her wonderful lifetime．21．Why did Margaret Thatcher decide to raise interest rates?A．Because English people were very rich and happy．B．Because she needed money to fight against Argentina．C．Because Britain needed to run out of economic troubles．D．Because people stored too much money in the banks．22．How did Margaret Thatcher make her country control the Falkland Islands again?A．She paid a lot of money for the islands．B．She helped people on the islands a lot．C．She sent many workers to the islands．D．She sent in the British Army to the islands．23．What was the matter with Ms．Thatcher after she resigned?A．She couldn’t say anything at all．B．She almost couldn’t remember anything．C．She couldn’t walk at all．D．She couldn’t hear anything at all．24．It can be inferred from the passage that Ms．Thatcher was ________．A．determined B．sensitive C．humorous D．generousBV olunteers for HalloweenSaturday & Sunday, October 26 & 27It's time for Prospect Park's ghosts to come out!

application signed by a parentCIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English．They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing．The most important thingyou 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 sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc．There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that 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．28．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening．B．Reading and writing．C．Writing and speaking．D．Speaking and listening．29．The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______"．A．discover B．meet by accidentC．find on purpose D．look for30．The author seems to agree with the view that_______．A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB．you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing31．The passage is mainly about how to_______．A．choose suitable listening materialsB．deal with new words in readingC．improve your English as quickly as possibleD．become fluent in speaking and writing EnglishDThe sunflower
