2016-2017学年广东省深圳市宝安中学高一下学期期中考试英语试题 Word版
宝安中学2016－2017学年第二学期期中考试高一英语命题人：高菁审题人：徐娅晖I. 阅读（共40分）第一节阅读理解（每题2分，共30分）AThe latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer. All the stores are selling them; everyone wants one. Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food. However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods. In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．● Folding SteamerThe simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel (不锈钢) version.Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．Disadvantages: It only holds small dishes. Also, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery. If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．●Steaming PanThis is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring. The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamers I've tried, this cooks the fastest. Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top. It's easier to store．Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top. It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．For serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each version. If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type.1．Why did the author carry out the survey?A．To inform people of different steamersB．To run an advertisement for steamersC．To find out a suitable steamer to buyD．To learn how to cook with steamers2．What can we learn about the folding steamer?A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．B．It is designed for large families．C．It is able to clean itself．D．It is easy to lift．3．The Nutritious Living steamer________．A．is more difficult to storeB．provides a dish to cook rice withC．cooks different foods at the same timeD．cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables4．According to the author, you should________．A．use steamers to save cooking timeB．buy a steamer with dishes suppliedC．do a survey before choosing a steamerD．buy a folding steamer if you want to tryBHuman beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.Since 1960, a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip --- a little chip of silicon crystal. It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store more than a million "bits" of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. They will even talk and play games with us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster everyday. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?5．From paragraph 1, we can know_____________.A. why early human beings cut skin from dead animalsB. how early human beings discovered the toolsC. what early human beings used the tools forD. what food early human beings stored6．The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ______.A. was very important to the development of mankindB. led to the invention of machines in the early timeC. developed cooking abilities of mankindD. was one of the first tools of mankind7．The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to________.A. show the changes of toolsB. introduce a new kind of toolC. give an example of using toolsD. compare the effects of two kinds of tools8．At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ______.A. out of orderB. less colorfulC. hard to predictD. full of meaningsAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor (市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged that parents and children read to each other at night and strangers chatted away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.9．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.10．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government11．The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean___________.A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language12．According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by__________.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in the strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.13. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take his family14. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A. a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD. a stranger in Sydney15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. From India to Australia.B. Living in a New Country.C. Turning Trash to Treasure.D. In Search of New Friends.第二节补足短文（每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP heater(加热器). With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heaters saves more heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed(暴露的) heating parts that may cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm at the flick of a switch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen(氧气) in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling(天花板). It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it at our expense and your money will be given back to you.Now we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order after that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests the discounted price.Take action right now!5.Why is the new EP safer for children and pets?A. The new EP hides its heating partsB. The new EP is difficult to use.C. The new EP is out of reach for children and pets.D.

The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. advise people to save the heating billsB. report the new development of heatersC. persuade people to buy the produceD. compare the functions of different heater brandsCIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes(处理) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(双语使用者) ” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans(扫描) showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals who learnt a second language at an early age. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The fin dings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, wiring, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they stared to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.9. The main idea of this passage is __________.A.science on learning mother languagesB.man’s ability of learning a second languagenguage learning and maths studyD.the benefit of learning a second language10. What can we know from Dr. An drea Mechelli’s study in paragraph 3?A. A bilingual will be more successful than a person who speaks only one language.B.The grey matter density in the brain has no difference between early bilingualsand later learners.C.The structure of a bilingual’s brain is being changed during his or her learning.D.It is never too late to learn a second language.11. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that __________.A.learning a second language is the same as studying maths.B.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying othersubjects.C.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language.D.you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language.DInsects(昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein(蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America andEurope eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy. They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits of eating insects. But they will still have a lot work to do.12. Eating insects __________.A.is not healthyB.makes people put on fatC.helps protect large animalsD.is environmentally friendly13. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show __________.A.the high cost of food productionB.it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insectsC.the different ways of feeding cows and insectsD.raising insects is a good choice for farmers14. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from __________.A.their terrible tasteB.pe ople’s old beliefsC.family traditionsD.eating methods15. We can infer from David and other insect experts believe that __________.A.people can eat more insectsB.insects should be better protectedC.people can make a lot of money from insectsD.it’s dangerous to eat insects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。
