江苏省连云港灌云县第一中学高一英语每日小练1AGood health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent (频繁的) drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourse lves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help mysel f. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleas ures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.1. The underlined word “innocent”(in Paragraph 2) means ________.A. not having done something wrongB. exciting or cheeringC. not having much experienceD. not expected to cause harm2. This passage is mainly about ________.A. terrible diseases and so onB. enjoying pleasures after a busy dayC. the difficulty of controlling ourselvesD. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating3. “I can’t help myself” means ____________.A. I can’t do it myselfB. I must ask someone to helpC. I can’t control myselfD. Do help me, pleaseBAll over the world people enjoy sports, Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.BMany people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when "their" player or team wins. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for(参加) them. Football, for example, has spread(展开)around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train(培养,训练) a person’s character(性格,品格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(胜不骄，败不馁).4. Why do people all over the world enjoy sports?A. Because they are healthy.B. Because they are happy.C. Because they want to live longer.D. All the above.5. Why do some people get excited when they watch a game? BecauseA. their favourite team winsB. they win the gameC. they get the good newsD. they can’t help themselves6. Which of the sports has a long history?A. Water-skiing.B. Basketball.C. Volleyball.D. Long jump.7. Why do people from different countries often become friends after a game together?

江苏省连云港灌云县第一中学高一英语每日小练14AA 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher. The boy was doing well, so he could n’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“ Master,” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,”the teacher replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his firs t tournament.Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the teacher appeared.“ No,” the teache r ins isted, “Let him continue.”Soon after the match continued, his opponent made a m istake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy a nd the teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy got up the courage to ask what was really on his mind.“ Teacher, how did I win the tournam ent with only one move?”The teacher answer ed. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grabhe had lost leAfter three months of training, the master taught him only one move.In order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地)，four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation (犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are plea sed with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is import ant. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.56. The most i mportant things to learn a foreign language are .A. understanding and speakingB. hearing, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understandingD. memorizing and listening57. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?A. A good memory.B. Speaking.C. Practice.D. Writing.58. “Learn through use” means .]A. we use a language in order to learn itB. we learn foreign language in order to use itC. we can learn a language well while we are using itD. both B and C。

江苏省连云港灌云县第一中学高一英语每日小练13AEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while swe etbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoes (探索它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, should’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese —so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, whenI wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.67. According to the passage ________.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round68. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth.B. Geese.C. Meese.D. Tooth.69. Which of the following includes two items that have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy.B. Overlook and oversee.C. Hot as hell and cold as hell.D. Quite a lot and quitea few.70. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants toshow that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. upsetBYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He i s dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hu rt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to th eir work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫).
