Katelynn's mother, Karina, had to explain to the youngster that some parents did not have much money as other parents, 59 is why some families may not enjoy the same kind of benefits and freedom as the Hardee family.Since Katelynn ran a lemonade stand over the summer, she decided to set up a cocoa and cookie stand 60 (raise) money for her classmates at Breeze Hill Elementary School. She had 61 (successful) sold all of her cookies and cocoa packets for a grand total of $80 for three hours. Then she had donated the money 62 the school to pay off the lunch debts of 123 students."Everybody is so 63 (pride) and happy and other students are talking about ways they can also make a difference," said Breeze Hill Principal Lori Higley.

In the third century BC, the full stop (句号)or period 56 ( introduce) by Greek literary critic Aristophanes of Byzantium. It is used 57 (show) the end of a sentence. However, the full stop has a different meaning to teenagers and those in their early 20s, 58 interpret it as sign of anger. And there is a reason for that.The younger generation has grown up using the texts as their primary means of communication. When sending messages ,they tend to break up their thoughts by sending each one as 59 separate message, instead of using a full stop. They feel the full stop once 60 (use) in traditional texting is not essential at all because the message is now ended just by sending it.David Crystal, one of the world's leading language 61 ( expert) , argues that the usage of full stops is being revised in a really fundamental way. In his book, he says that the full stop has become an emotion marker that 62 ( remind) the receiver that the sender is angry or 63 (annoy).Though the full stop has taken on a different meaning to the younger generation, specialists noted that it is important to take language environment 64 account. For example, using full stops in an email is 65 ( perfect) acceptable and is not considered rude.语法填空考点及知识点总结：_____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________山东省济南市第一中学2021届高三上学期期中考试英语试题第二节语篇填空(共10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分15 分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you have a fear of public speaking? For the longest time, I had such kind of fear. It’s common. In fact, various scientific reports have shown that the fear of speaking in public 56 (rank) higher than the fear of 57 (die). This may sound a bit extreme to many of you but 58 you get nervous and sweat like crazy just at the thought of speaking in front of people, then you probably know that the fear is somewhat understandable.I remember I used to fear public speaking. My legs would get weak as I 59 (walk)to the front ofthe audience. I would avoid eye contact unless I found someone with a 60 (smile) face. Then I would just stare at that person for 61 whole speech.Have you experienced these things? They are not 62 (exact) good experiences. I will share my experiences in overcoming fear of public speaking. The most important thing is to practice. Y ou can do this 63 joining such kind of clubs. If that’s not possible, then just practice doing speeches in front of anyone, even yourself in the mirror or an imaginary audience. V olunteer 64 (do) short speeches whenever you can get the chance.

She managed a forced smile, murmuring “Thank you, anyway”and turned toward the doorway. Suddenly Pappy thought of his estranged daughter.Feeling a lump in his throat, Pappy called out, “How much have you got to spend, Missy?” At this, the little girl emptied her purse onto the counter --- two dollars. After a quick struggle in his mind, Pappy said, “Today is Christmas Day and this is your lucky day. The bell costs exactly two dollars.” Holding the special bell close to her chest, the child danced out.Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop,he heard a familiar ringing. He couldn’t believe his ears! There in the doorway stood the little girl, ringing the bell and smiling sweetly. Puzzled, Pappy approached her. “Have you changed your mind, little lady?” “No,” the child grinned, “Momma says the present is for you.” Before Pappy had time to say another word, the child’s mother stepped in. Holding back her tears, she gently said, “Hello, Dad.”Text 1M: I missed the weather report this morning. Did you hear it?W: Yes. It said today is partly cloudy with a strong wind from the northwest. But tomorrow you'llsee sunshine.Text 2W: Father's Day is on this weekend. Don't forget to give our dad a call on Sunday.M: Oh, thanks for reminding me. I can never remember if I go out with my classmates that day.Text 3W: When did you fall into the habit of drinking coffee, in high school or at college?M: Neither. I began it after I worked as a secretary here because I had to work extra hours.Text 4W: What do you think of the movie we saw last night?M: I have read the novel about it. Well, to be honest, I don't think I will see the movie twice.Text 5M: Mary, I heard that Sam is forming his own band. What's the name of the band?W: Stay Away from the World. It will be a great success. Sam is very good at playing the guitar. I know you play the drums well, so you can join his band.Text 6W: Hi, Bill. When did you get back?M: About an hour ago. I saw you were sleeping, so I didn't disturb you. And I went to the kitchen and got ready to make lunch. So what's new? Were there any calls for me while I was out?W: Yeah, someone named Johnson called yesterday afternoon. He left word for you that he would arrive today.M: Oh, that's my old friend from college, Dave Johnson. I knew he was coming to town. I didn't expect him today, though.Text 7M: Hey, Jenny. I just got a job at a new company.W: Congratulations, Gary. That's great!M: I'm really happy. I don't have to worry about interviewing for a job anymore.W: When will you start? Next week or next month?M: Next Monday.W: You will have to put your heart and soul into what you'll do, you know?M: I know. I'm a little nervous, but it's pretty exciting.W: I'm sure that you must be feeling proud.M: Yeah. I'm going to celebrate tonight. Let's hang out.W: OK.M: How about inviting Toby?W: Well, I think he is a bit sad. He's having a hard time finding a job right now.M: Maybe I can introduce him to my company.W: That sounds like a good idea.Text 8W: Thomas, your English is so good. How did you learn it?M: Well, I've been taking English courses for around 12 years since the first grade.W: I think there are lots of Americans teaching English in your country.M: Yes, that's true. There are probably twice as many now as there were six years ago, but they are mostly in the cities. My family lives in the countryside.W: I wonder why. Personally, I prefer the country to the city. It's so quiet. If I were to teach, I would want to teach in the countryside.M: Do you think you would want to teach someday? I know the schools around my town are looking for teachers, so if you want, I can call them and get more information.W: No, I don't think so. If I were a teacher, I would need to stay in a school for a long time. You know, I'm busy with the trade now.M: Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think you would be a really great teacher.Text 9W: Hi. Are you flying to Sydney?M: Yeah. Here is my passport.W: OK. Would you please show me your ticket?M: This is my e-ticket. Uh…is it what you want to see?W: Well, in fact, I just need your full name in order to find you in the computer system.M: It's Smith Jacob.W: OK. Ah, you are taking a child with you.M: Right, my daughter Mia. She's 18 months old.W: Please pass me your daughter's birth certificate to prove that she is under two years of age.M: Sure, here you are. Would we be able to get a seat next to the passage?W: Yes, no problem.M: Thank you so much. Can I take my baby carriage to the gate?W: Yes, we'll check it in the oversized luggage after you board. Are you just checking these two bags?M: Yes, I'll take my backpack as my carry-on.W: All right, take your boarding pass. Please arrive at the gate one hour before the boarding time. We will give you some special instructions for take-off and landing. And you can board early because you are taking a small child.Text 10A lot of young people today find it difficult to land a job, especially in the first few months after they leave school. Actually, in some parts of the country, 50 or even 60 percent of the young people will be without a job for a whole year after leaving school. Our Jobs Information Service Center has been in touch with thousands of young people over the last 2 or 3 years, talking to them about their hopes and their fears. And in fact, we have been able to give a lot of help and advice to young people who have just left school. Are you recently out of school and still without a job? Or are you still at school and worried about getting a job when you leave? We have found that many people don't know who to talk to and sometimes don't know what questions to ask. That is why our experience at Jobs Information Service Center is so important. It will cost you nothing, just a phone call. If you would like to talk to us, we are here.

2021届济南中学高中部高三英语上学期期中考试试题及参考答案
2021届济南中学高中部高三英语上学期期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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AMy mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D. To praise the friendship between Martha and his mother.BIn a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remainimperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.4. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean?A. EndangeredB. ConservedC. ExtinctD. Safe5. What can we infer from Polidoro's words?A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.6. Which of following statement is true according to the passage?A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.7. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.CImaginary friends in childhood refer to the invisible beings that a child gives a personality to and plays with for over three months.Crabbycrab（蟹）appeared on a holiday in Norway by running out of my four-year-old son Fisher's ear after a night of tears from an earache. Like other childhood imaginary friends, Crabby should be a sign thatFisher's mind is growing and developing positively. Indeed, research shows that imaginary friends can help develop children's social skills.Research has shown that the positive effects of having imaginary friends as a child continue into adulthood. Adolescents who remember their imaginary playmates have been found to use more activecoping（应对）styles, such as seeking advice from loved ones rather than bottle things up inside. Even adolescents with behavioral problems who had imaginary friends as children have been found to have better coping skills through the teenage years.Scientists thinkthis could be because these teens have been able to adjust themselves to the social world with imagination rather than choose to be involved in relationships with more difficult classmates. It could also be because the imaginary friends help to reduce these adolescents,loneliness.These teens are also more likely to seek out social connections -they tend to turn to others for advice.Current research by Tori Watson is taking this evidence and looking at how adolescents who have imaginary friends as children deal withbullying（欺凌）at school. It is found that teens who remember their imaginary friends are better at dealing with bullying.While we know a lot about childhood imaginary friends such as Crabby Crab and the positive effects they can have, there is still a lot to learn about imaginary friends.8. What is Crabby crab?A. It is a crab Fisher caught inNorway.B. It is Fisher's imaginary friend.C. It is a toy Fisher like much.D. It is a cause of earache.9. Why do children with imaginary friends have better coping skills?A. Imaginary friends help improve their adjustment.B. Having imaginary friends makes them smarter.C. They have rich imagination.D. They are no longer alone.10. What will a child with imaginary friends probably do if he is bullied?A. Escape from the bully.B. Fight with the bully bravely.C. Keep silent about being bullied.D. Ask a parent or a teacher for help.11. What is the author's attitude towards the effect of imaginary friends?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.DWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”12. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.13. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men14. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

2021年济南中学高中部高三英语上学期期中试题及参考答案
2021年济南中学高中部高三英语上学期期中试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BThere are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color1 today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.The color1 purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color1 , it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attemptingto produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So don’t be making any bets just yet.4. Why was color1 purple expensive in the past?A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.D. Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.5. Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?A. Because of poor quality.B. Because of long tradition.C. Because of bad taste.D. Because of high price.6. What is purple's situation now?A. Purple has been widely used on national flags.B. Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.C. Royal family stop using purple because it’s toocommon.D. Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. No Purple Flags?B. Purple vs GoldC. How to Produce Purple Dye?D. The Birth of Purple ColorCTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.8. What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.9. Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.10. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged publicbuildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake.

Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.12. What was the result of the earthquake?A. Buildings were damaged.B. Food supply was cut off.C. Many people were killedD. The ships could not come in.13. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?A. Because small quakes hit the city.B. Because falling rocks are a danger.C.

It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.D. There is no possibility for more quakes.15. Where can your possibly read the passage?A. Ina story book.B. In a travel journal.C. In a poster.D.
