AOn Dec 22, China became the third country in the world – after Japan and the US –to have a carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring satellite.Named TanSat, as “tan” is the Chinese word forcarbon, the satellite moves around Earth at about700 kilometers above the ground. There, it can“see” clearly how much CO2 there is in the air andhow it is moving.How is TanSat able to do that? When sunlight travels through the air, the CO2 molecules (分子) take in different colors from the light. The satellite then looks at these colors to find out how much CO2 there is in the air.“The TanSat has very good ‘vision (视力)’, and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 perce nt,” said Yin Zengshan, one of the satellite’s designers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, according to Xinhua News Agency.But there is a question. When CO2 can already be measured from ground stations, why do we need a satellite that does the same thing?The truth is that they don’t do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the data (数据) from ground stations is limited and it does not cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface.But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a bird’s-eye view of the Earth, covering both the land and the ocean. It can also change its mode (模式) and position when lookingat the ocean area because the water can reflect (反射) light. This light may change the data if its normal mode is used.More importantly, China is now working on its goal of producing less CO2, starting from 2030 or earlier. To meet that goal, it will need to keep track of every bit of progress that it’s making. And with TanSat, China will have first-hand, detailed data of CO2 emissions (排放) in different areas, provinces and parts of the ocean, no longer having to use data from Japan and the US.16.Which of the following about TanSat is TRUE?A. It collects the CO2 in different areas above the ground.B. It gets CO2 data by studying the colors of air.C. It has been developed with the help of Japan and the US.D. It has different modes to suit different weather conditions.17.By reporting that th e TanSat has very good “vision”, the article shows that ______.A. the satellite uses many different kinds of camerasB. the satellite is very sensitiveC. the satellite can capture (捕捉) every change in CO2D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground18.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce China’s CO2 emissions.B. China did not have any detailed data of CO2 emissions before.C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce China’s CO2 emissions.D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries.BWhether they are government officials, company leaders,activists, writers or artists, women play important roles inchanging the world.On Dec 14, BBC Radio 4 released (发布) the Woman’s Hour PowerList to celebrate the seven women who have had the biggest effecton women’s lives over the last 70 years.The UK’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who served from 1979 to 1990, was No 1 on the list. Yet the judges said that it was a difficult choice, according to The Guardian newspaper.Speaking about the decision to put Thatcher in the top spot, Emma Barnett, chair of judges, said that no matter what your view of her politics (政治立场) and her leadership style, she made us think again about what power means.“Thatcher was one of the most famous leaders of the 20th century...She changed how women saw how to be a woman in power, from the way people spoke to the way peopl e dressed,” Barnett told the Breitbart news website. “She broke the glass ceiling (晋升瓶颈) and just by having a woman in power, little girls knew they could do it.”Fellow judge Ayesha Hazarika made it clear that she was not happy with the top choice of Thatcher. But she said: “Whether you loved her or hated her, hers was a very important achievement. Thatcher changed a generation and a time in British history.”The list of seven is made up of many different kinds of women. Many were surprised thatth e UK’s Queen Elizabeth II didn’t make the list. British Prime Minister Theresa May was also left out, along with all of today’s politicians.In fact, not all are famous names. Second on the list is Helen Brooks, who set up contraceptive (避孕的) services for women in the UK and –in the words of Barnett –“gave women the key to controlling their own bodies”.The list also includes the former British Labor Party Member of Parliament Barbara Castle, Australian feminist (主张女权的) writer Germaine Greer, British strike (罢工) leader Jayaben Desai, and the US singer-songwriter Beyoncé Knowles.Perhaps the most unexpected name on the list is Bridget Jones, the heroine of English writer Helen Fielding’s novel Bridget Jones’s Diary (《BJ单身日记》, 1996). Even though Jones is not real, she has truly changed the way women are seen and the way they can speak.“She’s a heroine with problems. She’s the character who enabled women who didn’t have children or the perfect life to lau gh at themselves. Now they don’t feel bad about who they are,” Barnett told The Telegraph.19. According to Emma Barnett, Thatcher was No 1 on the Woman’s Hour Power List mainlybecause ______.A. she served as the UK’s prime minister for a long timeB. her politics and leadership style were respected by people all over the worldC. she showed the possibility of women holding key leadership positionsD. she encouraged women to become politicians20. Which adjective best describes the judges’ attitude toward Thatcher’s being the topchoice?A. Supportive.B. Negative (否定的).C. Mixed.D. Doubtful.21. Which is TRUE about the women that have been included in the Woman’s Hour Power List?A. Most of them are famous politicians.B. Helen Brooks helped women get to know their bodies.C. They have all made the most outstanding achievements in their fields.D. Bridget Jones encouraged women with problems to accept themselves.CCats hiding in boxes may be hard to understand, but theydo it for a reason.If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the manyfunny cat videos online, you’ll know that cats have a mindof their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand– they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all.Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Buffington, a veterinarian (兽医) and professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats’ strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild.“Cats today still have many of the same instincts (本能) that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years,” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are theirjungles (丛林).”In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing (平衡) abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don’t have to hunt anymore in human houses, they still keep the old habit of vi ewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.Cats’ hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.However, cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines – they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean litter box (猫砂盒); a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.But knowing how cats’ minds work is not only useful for better understanding them. It may also help cats’ owners to better meet cats’ needs.For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use “food puzzles (食物游戏)” to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.22. According to Tony Buffington, ______.A. cats’ strange behavior is hard to understandB. cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans’ homesC. cats behave strangely mainly because of some habits they formed in the wildD. cats’ instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of years ago23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals.B. Cats attack keys and USB drives bec ause they have a habit of hunting small animals.C. Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild.D. Cats’ preference for a clean litter box has something to do with their hunting habits.24. The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 7 proba bly means ______.A. lazy animalsB. animals that like hiding gamesC. clean animalsD. animals that are hunted25. This article was mainly written to _______.A. explore the reasons behind cats’ strange behaviorB. describe cats’ wild pa st to readersC. tell cat owners how to make life easier for their catsD. compare cats’ behavior in human homes and their behavior in the wild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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring.

Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only weakened the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people.Therefore, effective measures should be taken as soon as possible to stop its happening.

Scientists should also study and find ways to lower the grade of its destruction and to improve the environment. As for some schools, education about sandstorms should be spread properly and timely to make more and more people attach great importance to this problem.How people look forward to sunny days with soft wind touching their faces now and forever!

The not-for-profit Global Wildlife Conservation group said the 14 frogs were in poor condition when they were discovered in late June. The animals were small and struggling because of a lack of food and water.The Loa water frogs are known to live only in a single body of water near Calama, in Chile. The city sits in the middle of the Atacama Desert, where water is in great demand.There was little water in the area where the frogs were found, the conservation group reported. The frogs’ environment had mostly dried up because water is being taken away and used for human activities, the group said. The activities include mining (矿业), agriculture and land development. “All of the frogs had been pushed into a tiny pool of muddy water,” the organization said. “The team collected the last 14 individuals and brought them to the National Zoo of Chile to start a conservation breeding (繁殖) program.”Zoo specialists are closely watching the small creatures and trying to give them everything they need to survive and be healthy. Conservation groups have called on Chile’s government to take steps to halt any illegal water usage that threatens the frogs’ natural environment. They would also like to see creation of a government-supported shelter to protect the animals.Jon Paul Rodriguez heads the IUCN’s Species Survival Commission. He suggested that an emergency plan be developed to prepare the Calama area for the frogs’ return.“We need to work very hard to restore their environment because it’s pointless to breed them if they don’t have a home to go back to in the wild,” Rodriguez said.12. What do we know about the frogs when they were rescued?A．They were looking for food. B．They were in good condition.C．They were approaching death. D．They were moving for new water source.13. What has made these frogs endangered?A．Lack of water. B．Air pollution.C．Human hunting. D．Extreme climate.14. What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Improve. B．Add. C．Change. D．Stop.15. What did Jon Paul Rodriguez suggest humans do for these frogs?A．Keep them healthy. B．Recover their home.C．Raise them in the shelter. D．Prevent them living in the wild.

As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf,more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik,but villagersstarted noticing a change in the mid-1990s.More bears seemed to stay on land,and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies.U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early2000s.As more attention was given to the plight(困境)of polar bears about a decade ago,more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than50visitors annually before2011,said Jennifer Reed,of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.“Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors,many from around the world each year,”Reed said.Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore.Bruce Inglangasak,a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours,said he's been offering polar bear tours since2004.Most of his clients(客户)are from China and Europe,as well as from the lower48U.S.states.Many tourists stay several days in the village,which has two small hotels.The villagers have benefited a lot from that.In turn,they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development. 8．What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A．Food shortage.B．Climate change.C．Habitats’movement to shore.D．Their preference for land.9．How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A．Excited.B．Puzzled.C．Concerned.D．Shocked. 10．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B．Kaktovik has about50visitors annually. C．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D．Tourism affects the balance of nature. 11．Which saying can describe the text?A．The fittest can survive.B．After a storm comes a calm. C．One man’s fault is another man’s lesson.D．Every coin has two sides.Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too?Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself?Well,apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains.Put simply,the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something,our brains imitate it,whether or not we actually perform the same action.ThisD．determine our knowledge and language abilities.三、完形填空I’ve been farming sheep on a hillside for54years.I use a small tractor to get about.My34．A．ability B．dream C．idea D．luck 35．A．lesson B．meal C．job D．test四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、告知信/通知46．新年即将来临，学生会将于星期五晚上8：00—10：00在学校五楼报告厅举办一场英语晚会，现请你以学生会的名义发一份英语书面通知，欢迎全校师生参加，通知包含以下要点：1.晚会主题：“迎新春，享受英语”；2.节目内容；3.参会要求。

To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.4．How does the author start the textA. By quoting sayings.B. By sharing a story.C. By stating his own experiences.D. By asking a question. 5．What’s the third paragraph mainly aboutA. The development of Mandarin.B. Why to protect dialects.C. How to develop speaking skills.D. The disappearing of dialects. 6．What’s Zhang Hongming’s attitude to Wu dialectA. Worried.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Unelear.7．What can we know about the project according to the textA. It has entered into the third part.B. Over 5.6 millions videos are collected in the project.C. It looks at how people talk in 1,712 places.D. Harold Palme is the chief expert on the project.Do you ever get restless if you haven’t checked your phone for a few minutes If so, you’re not alone. Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it isbecause many apps — particularly social media apps —use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notificatio ns. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again. Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing a reply This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see. While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicteddefinitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8．What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. Encourage.B. Predict.C. Prevent.D. Show.9．What is special about an app using streaksA. Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B. Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C. Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D. Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing. 10．There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five11．What is the best title for the textA. The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B. Can People Break Their Addition to GamesC. Could Technology Further Improve PhonesD. The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests thedolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have bee n showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers, the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3,000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time. Even it can say, “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”12．How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fishA. They constantly attack fish.B. They use body languages.C. They make strange voices.D. They pull the nets.13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Provide suggestions for the readers.C. Share some interesting facts about dolphins.D. Conclude the previous paragraphs.14．What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in LagunaA. It has completely disappeared.B. It develops friendly.C. It needs to be protected.D. It becomes useless and meaningless. 15．In which column of the newspaper can we read the passageA. Art.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Animals.二、七选五16．Do you know how to be a proud traveller ①_________Travellers get excited and a bit nervous before travel.

04 七选五专练(解析版)-2020-2021学年上学期高一英语期末专项训练
高一上学期期末专项训练4 七选五01Things I Wish I'd Known in High SchoolSometimes high school seems like a necessary evil. Now at the end of my college journey, I know that there are still more things I could have done to make my high school experience more beneficial.1Take a class that scares you during high school. The experience will definitely prepare you for future academic challenges.Don't worry about your grades too much. Getting a B is not the end of the world. 2I have started college with all A's since seventh grade, and it was hard to deal with not being able to repeat that. I stayed away from taking some harder courses I might have done well in because I was afraid of doing poorly. Now, I can fully accept that if I try my best in at least one harder class and get a B+, that is still something to be proud of.Find your own de-stressing(解压) routine. Another essential skill to begin building in high school is how to manage work and stress. Maybe you deal with stress by going for a run, or watching a silly movie. Talk with a friend for a while or play with your dog.3Spend your summers wisely. Don't take on a full-time job the first summer you decide to work.4Do find something to do that will make the ten weeks worthwhile. Look for programs that take you to interesting places, or a job that will give you insights into something you might be interested in.Finally, remember to have fun. Your life does not depend on high school. 5You will have plenty of time to work hard in college and beyond. Be prepared, but don't stress out too much about it. If you can make your high school experience fun, you will have no problem doing the same for your life in college and beyond.A.In fact, it's a kind of good thing.B.Take full advantage of your brain.C.You do have to be active in making friends.D.Do your best, but leave time for fun with friends.E.They will be improved if you make great efforts.F.Find out what relaxes you, and you will feel less stressed.G.Forty hours a week will be a huge shock and you'll have plenty of time for that in the future.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.答案[语篇解读]作者讲述了上高中应该做的几件事。
陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题(含答案)
陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________题号一二三四五总分评分一、第一部分阅读，第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it. This position can aid in digestion(消化).The log positionFor those who suffer from back pain,the log position could be helpful for you.Log sleepers have both their arms and legs extended,so their bodies are straight like a log.Log sleepers are very trusting,but are usually social and easy-going individuals.Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and can communicate with others easily.1．What's the personality of people sleeping in fetal position?A．Social and easy-going.B．Sensitive and social.C．Friendly and positive.D．Shy and sensitive.2．Which of the following is most suitable to be a friend?A．A fetal sleeper.B．A starfish sleeper.C．A freefall sleeper.D．A log sleeper.3．What can we know about log sleepers?A．They do well in sports.B．They are good listeners.C．They are easy to get along with.D．They have difficulty making decisions.阅读理解The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News spread of the amazing system,and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class.Printed materials could be found on the school website,and the feedback(反馈)has been extremely positive!4．What happened to Rachel a few years ago?A．She met with a policeman.B．She noticed some students in need.C．She acted as a host at a contest.D．She raised a girl with autism.5．What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student?A．She asked to stop the morning announcements.B．She talked with her in the playground.C．She took her home ahead of time.D．She comforted her at a quiet place.6．How did the parents treat Rachel's system?A．They paid no attention to it.B．They changed it in daily use.C．They accepted it thankfully.D．They introduced it to others personally.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A proper system.B．A considerate teacher.C．A story going online.D．A class influencing the nation.阅读理解The characteristic(特征)of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(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。
