2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)
2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试试卷英语(共150分，共120分钟)第一卷共100分一、听力（30分，每小题1.5分）略二、阅读理解（30分，每小题2分）AYesterday was awful. We had what they’re calling a “weather event” here, and it poured about 14 inches of rain in a day, causing by far the worst flash flooding I’ve seen in the 13 years in the place where we’ve lived. The kids and I ended up being trapped in our car in rapidly rising flood waters. The engine had stopped and couldn’t start again; the kids were terrified and I didn’t know what to do. Then a man in a 4WD pulled up beside us and offered to pull us out of the water.When he got us to higher ground he asked where our home was. We lived about 2km down the road, so he pulled us all the way back to our street before going off to look for more people in trouble.I don’t know this man and I ‘ll probably never see him again, but the kids and I owe him a huge debt of gratefulness that we’ll never be able to repay. Five local people died in this “weather event”, just a few streets away from here, so I’m in no doubt as to how dangerous our situation was. Going through what we went through has only reinforced(强化) the fact that we should always be ready and willing to help someone in need to stay safe and be well, whatever the situations are.21.What can we learn about the “weather event”?A. It was the biggest flood ever in this area.B. It rained for several days.C. Several people lost their lives in the event.D. Nobody was hurt in the event.22.Which statement is NOT TRUE about the man?A. He drove a car of great power.B. He left as soon as he pulled the author’s car out.C. He was willing to help those in trouble.D. He was a brave and selfless person.23. What is the author probably going to do after going through such a “weather event”?A. Be ready to give hands to others.B. Buy a car with a more powerful engine.C. Try hard to search for the man.D. Pay some money for the man’s help.24.Which one is the best title for the passage?A. A Weather EventB. The Kindness of a StrangerC. A Car Accident in FloodD. An Awful DayBDo two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue on our website.LucinaWhen you decide to have another child , you should plan your budget（预算）in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your body, you have to at least spend an extra 5000 yuan per month to hire a body sitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another 1 million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.BcnuTwo is more than twice the work, there’s no guaranteeing（确保）they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as children are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.StevenI always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical, an d financial resources. If I had any more children, I don’t think I could handle it.WilliamUnder the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The “little emperors” have no idea of sharing and giv ing and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.25.What can we learn from the passage?A.Few families are ready for a second child in China.B.It takes a lot of money to raise a second child.C.Steven has never considered having a second child.D.Many kids become selfish because of the one-child policy26.Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?A.LucinaB. BcnuC. StevenD. William27.What does the underlined part “that sort of thing” most probably refer to ?A.T he two kids have different interests.B.I t makes life hard to have two kids.C.P arents can’t treat the two kids equally.D.T he two kids fight with each other.28.Which of the following statements about the four persons is true?A.L ucina plants to send her kids to study abroad.B.B cnu thinks having a second child means more trouble.C.S teven suffers from health problems.D.W illiam has a selfish child.CYou know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars haveno steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.29.Why was the Google’s car stopped by police?A.It ran too fastB. It looks the lawC.It drove too slowly.D. It had no driver.30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The car hasn’t changed a lot over the past 10 yea rs.B.Google has no self-driving car technology.C.Self-driving cars are widely used in the U.S.D.Google self-driving cars haven’t been fined so far.31.What distance can a person drive in year on average?A.About 22,000kmB.About 18,000kmC.About 45,000km.D.About 11,000km.DFor over a month, forest fires in Indonesia spread very quickly out of control as the country suffered its worst drought（干旱）in 50 years. Within days a cloud of some was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous（有毒的）. Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot（烟灰）covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmentalcosts and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In low-land forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.32.When did the forest fires most probably happen?A. In JulyB. In OctoberC. In NovemberD. In December33.Which of the following is true about the forest fires?A.The fires spread to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.B.The fires were put out by the firefighters and volunteers.C.Many animals were left homeless because of the smog.D.4,000people were killed by the forest fires.34. When can we learn from the passage?A.Smog can lead to drought problem.B.Smog can cause forest fires easily.C.Smog has little effect on wildlife.D.Smog is more than an Asian problem.35.What is the similarity between the Indonesia smog and the London smog?A.Both were caused by drought.B.Both caused many deaths.C.Both were poisonous.D.Both spread in several countries.三、七选五(共5小题；每小题2分。

ARight now, I’m a salesman at a small telephone company. I sell cell phone plans and, to tell the truth, I’m pretty good at it. I have had the job for five years, and this year, I’ll make $40,000. That sounds good, but I’m bored. I’m thinking about making a change.I had a job interview last week at AT&T, a large telecommunications company. The company was looking for someone with my experience. It may not pay that much, but offers more opportunities(机会). I would sell both national and international cell phone plans. The company is only thirty minutes from my home, so I won’t have to move. However, I would work longer hours every day. And I would have to always take business trips to other offices to visit customers(顾客).I have another idea. I’m thinking about opening my own business. There’s a nice-sized store available downtown. It’s right in our neighborhood. If I’m my own boss, I’ll be able to work in my own way. I can choose my own employees, and my wife, who is an accountant(会计), will take care of the bills and the payroll on the weekend. I won’t have to travel unless I want to, and I can set my own working hours. In my store, I would like to sell cell phones and computers.But, you know, there’s a lot of risk in opening your own business. I’ll need a bank loan(贷款), and I’ll have to pay for my own medical insurance. My family might have to use my wife’s insurance plan for a while. She may have to keep her job in the beginning. This is a very important decision for me and for my family.1. What is the author’s problem right now?A.He does not like working as a salesman.B.He is tired of working in a small company.C.He has no idea how to sell cell phone plans.D.He cannot make enough money for a living.2.If the author worked for AT&T, he would ________.A. move to a new cityB. have to travel a lotC. work fewer hoursD. earn more money3. If the author started his own business, he would _______.A. open a store downtownB. never ask a bank loanC. never ask his wife to join himD. sell computers instead of phones4. When choosing new jobs, the author _______.A. often does not know what to doB. always finds himself ill-preparedC. is very careful to avoid problemsD. never considers his wife’s advice BBob Rigsby, a Brithish wildlife scientist, had been in Vancouver, Canada, giving a talk at a conference on the environment. When it was over, he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and checked into The Maple Leaf hotel. He then set off on a short walk to look at the local plant and animal life. After a couple of hours, he realized he had taken a wrong turning on the mountain path, but was sure he could easily get back to the hotel.After walking for several hours the next day, it became clear t Bob that he 电池) was almost dead. I thought I could probably make just one call but I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family unless I really had to.” Bob carried on walking for three more days. On the fourth day he realized it was hopeless and decided to call his wife in England. “He’d been lost a few times before, but never for so man y days,” says Shirley. She immediatelyphoned The Maple Leaf hotel, after a quick call to the Canadian embassy(大使馆) in London to get its phone number. “We’re always worried if our guests are away for a long time,” says Greg McCaffrey, the hotel’s owner. “B ut that week several of our English visitors had gone to the city for a few days to watch the hockey games, and we thought Mr. Rigsby had gone too.” As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel called the rescue service, which sent out a search party for the scientist. They found him in the mountains some hours later.“ I’ve learnt my lesson,” says Bob. “I was stupid to set off like that without a guide（向导）. I never want an experience like that again!”5. Before checking into The Maple Leaf hotel, Bob_______A. walk around the Rocky MountainsB. gave a talk on the environmentC. went on a tour of VancouverD. studied some plants and animals6. The underlined part “in a predicament”in paragragh 2 probably means “_________”A. at workB. under treatmentC.in operation D. in trouble7. What Bob says in the last paragraph shows a feeling of _________.A. regretB. prideC. peaceD. Doubt8. What would be the best title for the text?A. Vancouver: a beautiful cityB. Bob Rigsby: a great scientistC. Lost in the Rocky MountainsD. Running The Maple Leaf hotelCWhen Mike Scott, a singer, read the page about himself on , he noticed several facts were wrong. So he started correcting them online. When he got to the end of the page, he looked up and saw the information at the top of the page was changing back again. Then he wrote about it in his blog (博客) and minutes later, he got a message from a stranger. The person explained that he was a big fan of Mike Scott and checked his page on regularly. If any facts changed, he immediately changed them back.In recent years, many people have found that their online biogragphies（传记）contain wrong information. TerryMillstone, a web-based reporter, says, “Wikipedia seems like a great idea but actually it’s quite a dangerous website.” Not everyone agrees with this view. Pete Morley, another reporter, says, “People find fault with （挑……毛病）Wikipedia because they’re afraid of it. Th ere’s no other source of information that is so up-to-date and free.”So, is it a better idea to place our trust in what we read in magazines, newspapers and books? There have been a number of shocking events in the publishing world over the years, but one of the most extreme was the story of Stephen Glass. At only 25, he was a celebrated reporter working for a well-known US magazine, The New Republic. All that ended in May 1998 when it was discovered that one of Glass’s biggest articles was fake（假的）. Later, it was found that Glass had made up facts in 27 of the 41 articles he wrote for the magazine.So, how do we know what to believe? Words have always had the power to influence peopleand, rightly or wrongly, we are more likely to trust printed words. But with the rise of the Internet, that trust is at greater risk than ever.9. The stranger who wrote to Mike Scott ________.A. writes articles regularly onlineB. gets along well with Mike ScottC. knows all the facts about Mike Scott D . likes Mike Scott’s songs very much10. What does Pete Morley think of Wikipedia?A. He thinks highly of it.B. He is worried about it.C. He is uncertain about it.D. He shows no interest in it.11. The story of Stephen Glass is mentioned to show that ________.A. The New Republic is very popularB. it is not easy to be a news reporterC. printed words can also be untrueD. newspapers are in danger of dying out12. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. We live in a world full of lies.B. Be doubtful while you’re reading.C. The Internet makes our life better.D. Read books rather than learn online.DGood afternnon, listeners. Geoff Beck from Luna Mobiles here with “Technology and you”. Let me tell you about four new products!First, the Luna 500.

安徽省合肥市六校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)
安徽省合肥市六校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.Danyang-Kunshan Grand BridgeNo bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China operates as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.Rio-Niteroi BridgeCompleted in 1974，the Rio-Niteroi Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niteroi across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niteroi Bridge is technically known as a "box-girder（箱形梁）" bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 （or more）vehicles per day.Hartland Covered BridgeThe Hartland Covered Bridge is the world's longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada's list of National Historic Sites since 1980.Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.Jiaozhou Bay BridgeThe newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named "world's longest bridge over water" by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011，a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of "longest continuous bridge over water" was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of "longest bridge over water".1．On which of the following can trains pass？A.Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.B.Rio-Niteroi Bridge.C.Hartland Covered Bridge.D.Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.2．What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge？A.It is a busy bridge.B.It was once built.C.It has a roof.D.It is a wooden bridge.3．Where can you find the longest bridge over water？A.In America.B.In Brazil.C.In Canada.D.In China.I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户).On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help.I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.4．At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things.A. the girl’s fatherB. the girl’s motherC. the girl’s teacherD. a single lady5．The writer went to the garage sale to __________.A. meet single ladiesB. buy things for her resale shopC. help othersD. sell things she no longer needed6．The author decided to help the lady sell her things because __________.A. the lady’s items were niceB. the lady’s items were of good qualityC. the lady lived a hard lifeD. the lady asked the author for help7．The lady felt so __________for what the author had done for her.A. disappointedB. amazedC. proudD. appreciativeMy husband Wu and I ,together with our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around China.Wu and I had just sold our house outside of Hefei, Anhui and moved to a town in Yunnan. Though we enjoyed our new place, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one.We bought the first RV in July 2020 and by September of that year we were already considering living in it full time. Wu and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2023, we never looked back.I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地).The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning. That’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV ev ery once in a while, or move a little slower.8．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband?A. How they went on holiday in an RV.B. Where they traveled in their RV.C. Why they bought their first RV.D. How they gave up their house to get an RV. 9．What did the author and her husband do in February 2023?A. They moved to a new city and found new jobs.B. They sold their first RV.C. They rebuilt their house in Yunnan.D. They began living in their RV full time.10．What does the author think of her lifestyle?A. It is busy and challenging.B. It is comfortable and satisfying.C. It still needs some changes.D. It has made her more independent. 11．What does the author suggest RVers do?A. Slow down and relax on the road.B. Head for thinly populated places.C. Try new types of RVsD. Avoid making many plans ahead.Finland’s education system is considered one of the best in the world. Finland(芬兰) is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singaporeand South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private (私人的) schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to reform and modernize (使现代化) their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education.

高中英语真题：复兴高级中学2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题Word版.doc一、未分类(共6题)k was one of the main human foods long 25________ history was written. It will probably remain one 26________ ________ ________ there are animals that give milk. The old word “milk” came from Sanskrit (梵文), one of the oldest languages 27________ (know) to man. A very old picture of milking animals, drawn five thousand years ago, has been found. People got their milk from their own animals. But in modem times new inventions made the milk industry 28________ big business. In 1851 Gall Borden found a way to take some of the water from milk. This made 29________ keep longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way 30________ (kill) the bacteria in milk. So in the same year a special milk bottle was made. This was followed by the invention of machines that 31________ fill bottles with milk. These discoveries meantbecome less popular than it has been. But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of the many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say 32________ milk industry will always be important.2.Every reader of this passage must spend the whole of his waking life 33________ (look) at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural; we do it 34________ noticing it. Looking is passive but seeing is active. Once you startothers have only looked at, and draw conclusions from 36________ they have seen, can add to man’s knowledge and help progress.Someone recently discovered a place 37________ metal had been worked continuously longer than anywhere else in England. He “saw” a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place 38________ (be) bits and pieces of a different color; they also felt different to the hand. A 39________ (close) sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient peoples who had melted rocks to get metals, looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at the place over tens of centuries 40________ (know).3.A. dried B. forces C. world D. benefit E. provide F. freezingG. active H. outdoors I. preserving J. convenient K. technologyFood drying is one of the oldest methods of 41________ food. Since drying reduces the moisture in foods, making them lightweight and 42________ to store, it can be easily used in place of other food preservation techniques. In fact, one can even use drying along with other food preservation techniques such as 43________ or canning, which would make the process of food preservation even better.Drying food is simple, safe and easy to learn. The early American settlers practiced drying food using the natural 44________ of sun and wind, and today, the use of 45________ has revolutionized this method of preserving food. With modern food dehydrators (脱水剂), foods such as fruit leathers, fruit chips, 46________ nuts and seeds and meat jerky, can all be kept year-round at home.Being easy to store and carry and requiring no refrigeration makes dried foods ideal for domestic use as well as for use in the rough 47________.Moreover, dried foods are good sources of quick energy andmoisture. For instance, meat jerky, dried nuts and seeds are good sources of protein for a snack or a meal. The fruit leathers and chips 48________ plenty of quick energy. Dried vegetables, too, can be used to prepare wholesome casseroles (炖菜) and soups and the nutritional value can be enhanced by using the soaking water for cooking. Therefore, dried foods are an easy food option for busy executives, hungry backpackers and 49________ women and children, all of whom can 50________ from the ease of use and nutritional content of dried foods.4.Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, are quite different. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales —it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Desig n Museum, for example, shows atypewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS.)78. According to the passage, design museums are places where ___________________ _________________________________________.79. What kinds of role do design museums play?80. In contrast to design museums, choices open to art museums are more strict and visitors often feel _________________________________ in most of them.81. Some new design museums have been opened lately with the purpose of _________ ___________________________________________.5.1. 你最好别把他们两个安排在相邻的位置上。
