AIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water asmuch as possib le. Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release itquickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) offthe fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in thestomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause noserious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fishwhen it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.1.Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A.

I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude.I hope you will accept it." The doctor stood up and said coldly, "Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done."

Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this reason they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fears behind and free your mind before starting your studies. You have to be confident and it is the most important thing for attaining victory.Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subjects can be given more time while easier ones less. And remember some time shall be spared for entertainment and also there should be enough break time between each subject.Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting aff ects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.36．Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?A．No pains, no gains.B．Knowledge is power.C．It’s never too old to learn.D．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.37．Why do some students hate exams according to the passage?A．Because they think exams are meaningless.B．Because preparing for exams takes up most of their time.C．Because there are too many exams at school.D．Because they don’t have enough self-confidence.38．Why does the writer say “No need to explain this point” in Paragraph 5?A．Because it’s difficult to explain.B．Because it’s easy to understand.C．Because we need to study in silence.D．Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on Google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．39．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day40．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literatureB．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dishD．American changing cultures41．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew42．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different culturesTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could notexplain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”．She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim（严酷的）since in most situations like this，“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”．Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a“great explanation”for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and h ad stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping，”she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said：“I got a second chance in life.”43．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A．She became unconscious.B．She took a nap.C．She had a bad headache.D．She suffered a heart attack.44．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer? a．suffering a heart attackb．stopping heart beating entirelyc．stopping breathingd．coming back to lifee．receiving an epiduralf．producing a babyA．a c f d b e B．f c a d b eC．e a c b f d D．e a b c f d45．Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?A．Shocked. B．Puzzled.C．Normal. D．Curious.四、信息匹配Finding a new and fun hobby can make you a happier person. Hobbies can be a great way to relieve stress and bring more joy into your life. Specifically when you find a new hobby. Hobbies are for everyone at any age. When you get older, you should not have fewer hobbies.46．You might be looking for a new hobby, but you're not sure what. A new hobby requires finding new interests, which means experimenting to find those interests.Try new things. To find a new hobby, it will require trying new things. New hobbies won't usually just find you. Don't put things off. You might think to yourself, "I don't like that." If you've never done it, or given it a chance, how can you know?47．Learn new things. You're never too young or old to learn more in life. If you take the time to learn new things, you'll develop new interests. Let your curiosity run wild, and develop more knowledge over the things you don't know or are familiar with.48．Reading the same sports newspaper everyday doesn't count as a new and fun hobby.Collect things.49．Start collecting them. Maybe you have an interest in coins, or specific jewelry. Think about certain interests that pertain to what you can collect. If you're a sports fan, then collect sport cards, or jersey's. Simple hobbies aren't always a bad thing. You can collect just about anything.50．. Everyone has a creative side. Some people find different ways of expressing that side to them. It can be writing, drawing, painting, playing a music instrument, photography, dancing, or singing. These can be fun and relaxing hobbies to have that be a positive way of expressing your emotions.A Interact with othersB Think of the things that you do likeC Learning is not such a bad thingD Find and express the creative side in youE Have an open mind and give things a chanceF Otherwise you'll develop more stress and gray hairsG write down a list of the leisure activities you enjoy五、用单词的适当形式完成短文课文填空ZY: But how can I listen carefully while51．notes?HX: This is a52．of the trade, If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts53．.

Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam's story is a tale of two cities -- one during the day and a completely different one at night．During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．But when the sun goes down, the party begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they're all within a short cab ride of each other．For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there's the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．But at night party-seekers come to the square．Hip hop or funk music is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don't shut down until 4 am．And while you're there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don't worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent．Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system．For about 10 dollars, you canuse the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise（巡游） the "Venice of the North"．The city has a historic past．One impressive place to visit is the Anne FrankHouse on Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famousdiary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behindthe bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．39．What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?A．A carriage(马车)． B．A bicycle． C．A canal bus．D．A water 40．When getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in _________ ．A．only Dutch B．Dutch or English C．onlyEnglish D．Spanish and English41．What can you learn about by visiting the Anne Frank House?A．The experience of a beautiful girl survivor．B．The glorious past of Amsterdam．C．The life of Jewish during World War Ⅱ．D．The suffering of the Dutch in wars．42．The passage is intended to（旨在）________．A．call up people’s memories of World War ⅡB．tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is aboutC．instruct visitors what to do and see in HollandD．offer readers some information about AmsterdamCToday, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner-Sophie Mutter is at the top.“She gives radiance (光辉) to the music, ” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a smalltown just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter,and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus,their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his youngerbrother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner-Sophiesaid she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her tostart on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed(渴望) to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, becameAnner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she enteredthe six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki.She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played,not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” saidher father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowedto give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned18 did she begin her professional career.43. It was_______when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.A. surprisingB. greatC. usualD. possible44. Anner-Sophie’s career dates back to_______.A. the late 1960’sB. her family educationC. the late 1970’sD. her fifth birthday45. Which sentence shows Anner-sophie’s strong point as a violinist?A. She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.B. She has always had a mind of her own.C. She had two famous violin teachers.D.

甘肃省天水市第一中学高一上学期期末考试英语试卷
2020-2021学年甘肃省天水市第一中学高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you, prepared by your own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction, but professors at the University of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that a reality. The team recently introduced a human-shaped kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests. When teatime is over, the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away.In California, another interesting kitchen robot has been developed, called Readybot. It can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets (橱柜) or put them in the trash. It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself. Unlike the Japanese robot, Readybot just looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge. They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks. Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can do jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well. Clearly there are technological difficulties to solve before robots can cook a complete dinner, and there are also many safety concerns (忧虑). Not everyone (especially parents) would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulatinghot pans and sharp knives. The European Commission recently funded(资助) a project to study these concerns. According to lead researcher Professor Chris Melhuish, “Enabling robots to work safely with humans is a key need for the future development of robotics.”1．Compared with Readybot, the Japanese robot ________.A．is more popular B．performs more jobsC．moves more quickly D．looks more like a person 2．Readybot can now be used to ________.A．drive you around B．clean your kitchenC．prepare food for you D．work for office workers3．Th e underlined word “manipulating” can best be replaced by ________.A．inventing B．avoiding C．controlling D．making4．In the last paragraph the author says that parents ________.A．have shown great interest in kitchen robotsB．can’t wait to use kitchen robots in their homesC．might think that kitchen robots could be dangerousD．found out how to operate robots safelyCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking, while a dog doing the same signals giving in.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.5．The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A．early B．quickly C．sweetly D．violently 6．Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.A．they are cold to each otherB．they look away from each otherC．they are introduced at an early ageD．they misunderstand each other's signals7．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A．have common interestsB．are less different than what we thoughtC．have a common body languageD．are less intelligent than what we expected8．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A．We should learn to live in harmony.B．We should know more about animals.C．We should live in peace with animals.D．We should learn more body languages.二、阅读理解With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages. We now have positions open in Osaka startingSeptember/October 2015 for instructions of English, German, Spanish and French.◆ Teach many different kinds of classes using the latest technology in small classes of up to30 students.◆ Accommodation(住宿), and other necessary documents(文件) will be ready before you leave.◆ Applicants will teach their first language only.◆ Excellent teacher training programs.If you are young with a university degree and are willing to experience different cultures, apply now.

As I was waiting to board the plan, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination; Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement; “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shor tly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems therewere also three of other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same!

Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics（杂技）, martial arts （武术）,dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.【小题1】According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.B．San Francisco’s Chinatown. C．Mauritius’s Chinatown.D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.【小题2】What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A．It is crowded with Chinese restaurants. B．It is the major entrance for the Chinese.C．It is well-known for its gold business. D．It is when you can enjoy fireworks.【小题3】If you want to enjoy the Dragon Dances, you can go to______.A．Rue Royale in Port Louis,MauritiusB．the Sunday market in Bangkok C．the Grant Avenue in SanFranciscoD．the Chinese community in London2. When my father married my mother in 1943 he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs.A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and triedto teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless.I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another’s care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill.I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn’t have a wallet so sheput the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. “I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend” she said and we were both a bit teary.The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of “random acts of kindness”. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used and thought “I’ll give that to my friend.” I opened it and insidefound $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always comes.【小题1】What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?A．His concern for her.

London UndergroundThe world's first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems inthe city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease（减轻）the pressureof too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track whichwas 6 kilometers（3.7 miles）long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), andpleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot（煤灰）, as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnelslater to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.【小题1】What led the British government to build the London Underground?A．Traffic jams and pollution.
