2018-2019学年上海市金山区张堰中学高一上学期英语期中试卷
2018-2019学年上海市金山区张堰中学高一上学期英语期中试卷I. Listening Comprehension (略)II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section A (10分)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.My first habit was developed in Junior 2 when I took part in a New Concept English Reciting Competition. During my whole summer vacation, I locked myself in at home, (14) __________ (sit) in front of my desk and trying to recite every word of even the less appealing articles in the New Concept English textbook. I forced myself not to think about my classmates who (15) __________ (enjoy) time out from their busy school lives, but instead to focus on the competition.It was never easy for such a young child to resist all the temptation and still concentrate. Being distracted was unavoidable, and there were indeed a few times when I thought about giving up. But I persuaded myself not to do it. All I knew was that I had to finish the job I (16) __________ (promise) myself I would do. I had to finish the 96 articles to prove to myself that I was anything but a coward. I still insist (17) __________ this habit. Before the contest, I didn’t quite understand what benefits reciting these 96 articles might bring me. While I was trying my best to recite, (18) __________ never occurred to me that those efforts I made at that time (19) __________ (become) the foundation of my improvements in the near future. When I finally came to realize (20) __________ I had actually brought to me, the surprise and joy I felt were greater than I (21) __________ have imagined.【答案】14. sitting15. were enjoying 16. had promised 17. on18. it19. would become20. what 21. could【解析】14. 考查非谓语动词，sitting和and后面的trying并列都是现在分词作伴随状语。
15. 考查谓语动词，根据上下文句意可判断是过去的一段时间正在发生的动作，所以用过去进行时。
16. 考查谓语动词时态。
I ________(promise) myself I would do是做the job的后置定语，是定语从句，所以promise是谓语，再由主句时态是过去式可判断promise这个动作是过去的过去发生的，所以用过去完成式。
17. 考查动词和介词搭配，insist on 是固定搭配，意为“坚持，强调”。
18. 考查it作形式主语，it never occurred to sb.是固定句型，表示某人从未想到…。
19. 考查谓语动词，这一题容易误以为是非谓语，但become是that引导的主语从句的谓语动词，从句的主语是those efforts，由主句的谓语动词可判断从句是过去相关的时态，再由从句中in the near future可判断这里用过去将来时。
20. 考查宾语从句连接词，空格后是句子，空格前是及物动词，从而可判断这里是考查宾语从句连接词，再由brought缺少宾语，所以填what。
21. 考查情态动词，根据句意表示“我感受到了比我本能够想象的更强大的惊喜和快乐”，虚拟语气，表示本能够做某事而实际上没有做，填could。
Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.do? Italian expert Professor Franco Bocci has finally answered the age-old question of the best strategy if you are caught in a downpour. He claims that in most (22)_____, the best strategy is to run as fast as possible.“In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general,” he said.Besides, Franco Bocci believes that both wind direction and a person’s body (23)_____ have to be taken into account. He claims that thin people are more (24)_____ to stay dry at lower speeds. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal (最佳的) speed. Otherwise, it’s better to run fast.”The problem of (25)_____ an optimal strategy for moving in the rain has attracted considerable (26)_____ among physicists and other scientists. In the 1970s, a number of papers came out in mathematics magazines (27)_____ the question. In 1987, another Italian researcher asserted (主张) that changing strategies did not make a real (28)_____ to how wet you get. In thelatest research, in 2011, a textile expert and a physicist suggested that an optimal speed (29)_____, depending on the wind direction.However, Professor Bocci believes that previous attempts to solve the problem simplified it too much. “For the most part in the previous work, there was a simple answer, but I found that the problem is much more (30)_____,” Professor Bocci said, believing that body shape and wind direction play a big part in how wet you get—and if the wind is behind you, the optimal speed will be (31)_____ the speed of the wind.【答案】22-26 DBEIJ 27-31 CKFGH【解析】22.考查固定词组。
In most cases，在大多数情况下，故选D。
23.考查名词。
根据文中定冠词a，可知应该选填名词。
又因为后文中出现过的Professor Bocci said, believing that body shape...，故选B。
24. 考查形容词词组。
此处在be动词后，又被more修饰，所以用形容词，又因为固定词组，be likely to do，有可能做某事，故选E。
25.考查名词。
Of后应该加名词或者动名词，又因为选项后接了宾语，所以填动名词，根据句意，关于选择一个最佳的战略的问题，故选I。

Thinking logically is a step-by-step ___38___ in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers ___39___. When we think emotionally, we look at things from someone else’s point of view and try to feel their pain.Now scientists have found that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw (跷板)—when we’re busy sympathizing, the part of t he brain used for cold and hard ___40___ is restricted.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternative but to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man ans wered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.61. The first man’s wife is _____.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island62.

They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs? Don't be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of want ing to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.69. What is NOT the feature of the flash mob?A. It can get together quickly.B. It can change its place freely.C. It can do activities suddenly.D. It can injure people seriously.70. How do flash mobs inform one another?①By using the Internet.②By writing letters.③By yelling.④By waving hands.⑤By using mobile phones.⑥By holding a meeting.A.③④B.①⑤C.②⑥D.⑤⑥71. Why did Bill Wasik create the flash mob?A. To advertise some products.B. To help people make friends.C. To laugh at fashion seekers.D. To create some memories.72. What can we learn about the flash mob from the passage?A. Bill Wasik organized the first successful flash mob in May, 2003.B. People are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.C. Flash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.D. Flash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.DResearchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuries caused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine--amantadine, whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago. Severely injured patients in the United States, Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received another medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers,follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,” said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added: “It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as h opeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, but until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’ long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those dec isions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s dopamine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.73. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. can follow simple ordersB. recover faster than expectedC. can’t breathe on their ownD. show no sign of brain activities74.

Thinking logically is a step-by-step ___38___ in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers ___39___. When we think emotionally, we look at things from someone else’s point of view and try to feel their pain.Now scientists have found that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw (跷板)—when we’re busy sympathizing, the part of the brain used for cold and hard ___40___ is restricted.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternative but to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territorybetween them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.61. The first man’s wife is _____.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island62.

Choose a suitable title for this piece of advertisement.A.JOIN TEEN INKB.SPONSOR (赞助) TEEN INKC.SEND US YOUR WORKD.KEEP IN TOUCH WITH TEEN INKCIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs? Don't be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.69. What is NOT the feature of the flash mob?A. It can get together quickly.B. It can change its place freely.C. It can do activities suddenly.D. It can injure people seriously.70. How do flash mobs inform one another?①By using the Internet.②By writing letters.③By yelling.④By waving hands.⑤By using mobile phones.⑥By holding a meeting.A.③④B.①⑤C.②⑥D.⑤⑥71. Why did Bill Wasik create the flash mob?A. To advertise some products.B. To help people make friends.C. To laugh at fashion seekers.D. To create some memories.72. What can we learn about the flash mob from the passage?A. Bill Wasik organized the first successful flash mob in May, 2003.B. People are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.C. Flash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.D. Flash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.DResearchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuries caused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine--amantadine, whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago. Severely injured patients in the United States, Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received another medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,” said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added: “It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, but until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’ long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson’ssymptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s dopamine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.73. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. can follow simple ordersB. recover faster than expectedC. can’t breathe on their ownD. show no sign of brain activities74. According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that ______.A. is useful for flu onlyB. is aimed to improve memoryC. speeds up brain injury recoveryD. benefits patients’ brain injuries in the long run75. The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to ______.A. get enough fund from the federal governmentB. prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past76. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Old Drug, Proven Side BenefitB. Medical Study, New DiscoveryC. Severe Brain Injury, Quick RecoveryD. Different Treatment, Obvious EffectSection C (8%)Directions:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentences to fill in the blanks and complete the passage.
