Ticketed performances start at $22. .Moab Music FestivalWhere: Moab, UtahWhen: Aug 29-Sept 9This area is better known for mountain biking than for music.

You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!Dinner parties usually start between 7p.m.and 8p.m., and end at about 11p.m. Ask your host what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be more polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember - it's not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other side. They eat with their guests.You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “Thank you”letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank you, thank you” all the time!4.

What gifts to bring to the host when invited.C. How to express your gratitude to your friends.D. How to behave when you are invited to a dinner partyCAn 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.8．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.9．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 government10．The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean___________.A. gained life experienceB. used the same languageC. exchanged ideas with each otherD. discussed the meaning of a word11．According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by__________.A. the growing popularity of the writersB. the careful selection of a proper bookC. the number of books that each person readsD. the number of people who benefit from readingDImagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. Butthey might just leave humans in the dust!The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height. His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie's jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!12.The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.A、challengerB、record holderC、teammateD、coach13.What can we learn about the spittlebug?A、It likes living on the ceiling.B、It is good at flying in the air.C、It is the same length as a pencil.D、It has a wonderful jumping talent.14.In the author's opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug's jumping abilities are ________.A、fearfulB、doubtfulC、surprisingD、promising15.How does the author develop the text?A、By giving instructions.B、By making comparisons.C、By following the order of time.D、By following the order of importance.第二节篇章填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列四篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的A、B、C、D、E、F、G七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使补足后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯。

2017-2018学年第一学期期中试卷高一年级英语第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ASharon, Aged 22The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to. Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict.B. Students often stay up at night.C. Teachers provide little care for students.D. Students should make good use of their time.22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited.B. Bored.C. Worried.D. Relaxed.23. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank.B. David.C. Sharon.D. Eddie.BThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him t he $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.24. We can infer from the text that the word matter _____.A. has a wide useB. can mean moneyC. is the most used English wordD. has the most different expressions25. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts.B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friend's advice.D. Be careful when making friends.26. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means _____.A. choiceB. personC. situationD. answer27. The author develops the text mainly by _____.A. using examplesB. giving instructionsC. describing his experiencesD. discussing research findingsCStudents from Oceanside High School in Rockland will be able to sleep in a little longer from this autumn.Regional School Unit 13 Superintendent (负责人) Lew Collins said during the school's Thursday night meeting that the schedule (时间表) for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start a half hour later, at 8 a.m. for their new school year.Research has shown that teenagers' brains are often not fully awake at 6:30 a.m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to school for classes that begin at 7:30 a.m., calls for someto get on buses before 6 a.m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6:40 a.m., which is too early, he thinks.Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8:00 a.m. “I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9:00 or 10:00,” he said.The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers' biological clocks (生物钟) are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation called for schools to change their schedules, which means a later start as well for elementary students (小学生).We do not have enough buses to run, since all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time, Collins said. He suggested, “We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.”Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8:30 a.m., but will be moved to 8:45 a.m., starting in the autumn. “I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with,” said Jane Brown, a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School. “Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep they'll be more ready to learn when classes start,” she added.28. A new schedule will be made to _____.A. add more interesting subjectsB. help students do better in classC. ask parents to learn about schoolsD. cut the number of meetings down29. One of the problems facing the schools in Rockland is that they will _____.A. be afraid of working parents' disturbanceB. be worried about children's safetyC. be short of school busesD. be short of teachers30. What does Jane Brown think of the new schedule?A. She is not certain about it.B. She is not interested in it.C. She is worried about it.D. She is hopeful about it.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。

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican food are called red hots for their color and their taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hotmusic. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song—Mood Indigo—about the deep blue color, in digo. In the words of the song: “You aren’t blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A. passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy（羡慕嫉妒. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day.21. If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it___.A. a white dayB. a black dayC. a red dayD. a green day22. Suppose a Mr Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink, this means all his children are____.A. lucky and wealthyB. gentle and modestC. fit and healthyD. creative and energetic.23. When she got home and found nothing had been done by her husband, Jane was really____.A. red hotB. greenC. blueD. black24. In the following paragraph, the writer might tell the reader something about___.A. u npopular organizations in the worldB. people’s response towards a black dayC. the influence of the traditional bluesD. more words about a color, such as brownBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory”is? A territory（领地）is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims（声称）as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species（物种）are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, youmight shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him .A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and i t is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.25. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually______. .A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warningC．an expression of anger D．a way of greeting26．What is a bird’s “territory”?A．A place where families of other species are not accepted.B．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C．An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own27．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A．Because they want to invite more friends.B．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C．Because they want to find outsiders around.D．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.28．How does the writer explain birds’singing?A．By comparing（比较）birds with human beings(人类).B．By reporting experiment results. C．By describing birds’daily life.D．By telling a bird’s story.CAs we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles(皱纹) and maintain（保持）a youthful body. But people often don't realize the voice needs looking after. Here, Mr. Rubin, avoice expert, tells how to keep your voice youthful.Drink more fluid and avoid spicy foodYou need water for the vocal cords(声带) to vibrate(振动) well. The body must be kept hydrated enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate.Rest the throat and talk regularly（有规律的）The vocal cords can be scared if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis(喉炎) with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice. Simply staying sociable （社交的）and using your voice is very important. “As older people get less mobile, they can speak less.” says Mr. Rubin. “The old need to communicate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the aging process to slow down. ”Improve your posture(姿势)Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we'd better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone.Sing in the showerThis is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates(使润滑) the voice box.“Singing is gymnastics（体操）for the voice，”says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone.29．Mr. Rubin gives us advice on ______.A．ways to keep us from aging B．ways to keep our voice youthfulC．ways to talk with other people D．prevention of diseases caused by talking too much 30．Which of the following statements is TRUE in the opinion of Mr. Rubin?A．Taking more onions can keep us healthy.B．Professional singers' voices tend （倾向）to age quickly.C．The steam can do great harm to the voice.D．We should stand properly to keep our voice youthful.31．To protect the voice, the old people should ______.A．get less mobile B．lie in bed moreC．avoid using the voice D．communicate with others moreDHow to Be a Successful Language Learner?“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree. For them, learning a language is difficult. They need hundreds of hours, and even this will no guarantee (保证) success for every adult language learner.But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They don’t depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues（线索）and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Succes sful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners don’t wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It’s more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they’re interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the ways above.32.The writer of this passage wants to tell us ___ .A. learning a language is easyB. ven a child can learn a second languageC. how to be a successful language learnerD. learning a language is a very difficult task33. Successful language learners are similar in many ways. How many ways did the writer mention in this passage? A.2 B.3 C.4 D.534. According to this passage, when you don’t know the meaning of a word in the text ___ .A. you should look it up in the dictionary at onceB. you should ask your teacher for helpC. you should guess the meaning of the wordD. you should ask your deskmate35. If you want to learn English well you should ___ .A. learn it from a famous teacherB. try to look for any chance to use itC. remember as many patterns and rules from your teacher as possibleD. recite as many passages as possible第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
