Dear Brad,
I am delighted to learn that you came to study at a senior high in Taiyuan as an exchange student last week. However, I am deeply sorry to hear that you find it difficult to fit in at your new school. It is my pleasure to offer you some advice.
For s tarters, you’d better seek help from your parents and teachers because it is they who are always there for you. Moreover, it is a good idea to help others when necessary. If you are always ready to help others, they will definitely enjoy your company. Lastly, why not take an active part in some activities? Chances are that you will meet students who share your interests in a wide variety of activities.
I do hope my advice is of great help to you. Looking forward to a reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua。

2019-2020学年山西省忻州一中高一（下）第六次月考英语试卷AThe British Museum What's onAlthough many parts of Asia have long been connected through trade along Silk Road and shared religious systems，there are strong regional differences．In addition to various languages，Asia has developed its cultural networks，patterns of government，technology and styles of artistic representation．The diverse cultural life of Africa has been expressed through everyday cooking objects and unique works of art since ancient times．The Museum's collection of over 200，000 African items includes archaeological and contemporary material from across the continent．The Iron Age was a time of big change for the people of Britain and Europe．Iron replaced bronze as the material used to make tools and weapons，while religion，art，daily life，economics and politics changed greatly．Admission and opening timesThe Museum is free and open daily 10：00-17：30 except Friday，and is open until 20：30 on Fridays，except Good Friday．The Museum is open every day except for 24，25 and 26 December and 1 January．Museum shopsBookshopMonday-Thursday 10：00-17：30 Friday 10：00-20：00Saturday 10：30-17：30 Sunday 10：00-17：30Collections shopMonday-Thursday 09：30-17：30 Friday 09：30-20：00Saturday 09：30-17：30 Sunday 10：00-17：30Getting hereBy TubeNearest underground stations：Tottenham Court Road（500m）Holborn（500m）Russell Square（800m）Goodge Street（800m）By busBuses that stop near the Museum：1，8，19，X25，38，55，98，242By carThe Museum lies within the Congestion（拥堵）Charge Zone．There is little on-street parking nearby．The nearest car park to the Museum is located at Bloomsbury Square．There is limited parking in the Museum's open space for disabled visitors only．1.

It is 500 meters from Russell Square to the Museum．D. The old can park their cars in the Museum's open area．BIf you have a chance to go to Finland，you will probably be surprised to find how "foolish" the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high•class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometre.You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining room to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards （登记卡）to the waiter.With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate.From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly（相应地）.With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take pretty advantages.But the strange thing is：all the taxipassengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business；not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms；and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real gentleman.4. What does the underlined words "take pretty advantages" in the lastparagraph mean______A. Be ready to help others.B. Make good use of one's friends.C. Be a little ahead of others.D. Gain something at others' expenses.5. According to the passage，the Finnish workers get paid by ______ .A. what they have done for the bossB. their abilities and talentsC. the hour they report to the bossD. the amount of money they want from the boss6. Why are the Finns often considered as real gentlemen？______A. Because they are very rich.B. Because they love to take pretty advantages.C. Because they love work more than money.D. Because they act on good faith in everything.7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？______A. Life in FinlandB. A society with "foolish"peopleC. What a lifeD. Honest accounts of the FinnsCIndustrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.For these countries，economic growth is a very important aim.They want to introduce industries，and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution. Cuba Tao，an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil，is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution.In 1954，Cuba Tao had no industry.Today it has more than twenty large factories，which produce many pollutants（污染物）.The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen.Birth shortcomings areextremely common.Among children and adults，lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cuba Tao than in other places.It is true that Brazil，like many other countries，has laws against pollution，but these laws are not enforced strictly enough.It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines（罚款）than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution.It is clear，therefore，that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.However，the responsibility（责任）does not completely lie with the Brazilian government.The example of Cuba Tao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either.A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France，Italy，and the U.S.They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home.If they caused the same amount of pollution at home，they would be severely（严厉地）punished or even put out of business.8. Why don't developing countries have strict pollution controls？______A. The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.B. Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.C. They don't realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.D. If they put stricter controls on industry，fewer companies would build newplants in developing countries.9. What is the author's purpose in taking Cuba Tao as an example？______A. To show that industry can develop very fast in developing countries.B. To show that the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely serious.C. To show that industrial growth can cause pollution problems for developingcountries.D. To show that pollution is killing many people and destroying the wholeeconomy of Brazil.10. How is the health of the population of Cuba Tao？______A. There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemicalfactories.B. More people suffer from lung diseases because of poisonous matter.C. Their health is affected by pollutants the same way as that of other Brazilians.D. Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.11. Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil______A. The investment（投资）environment in Brazil is suitable for them.B. They will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.C. They can make much money because they do not have to pay Brazilianworkers much.D. They can act in an irresponsible（不负责任的）way in Brazil because there areno pollution laws there.DMy favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg,Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy,and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends,Huck Finn and Joe,to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure,with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally,they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is astonished to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story,but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair.Joe is Tom's best friend.And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally,it talks about freedom,social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story,Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century,so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on-read it!I know you'll enjoy it,too.12. Where does Tom run away with his two friends______A. To a quiet street.B. To a small town.C. To an island.D. To a forest.13. Who is the bad man in the story？______A. Huck Finn.B. Injun Joe.C. Becky.D. Polly.14. How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral？______A. They were surprised and happy.B. They were surprised and sad.C. They were worried and excited.D. They were frightened and happy.15. The writer writes the article to ______ .A. ask us to read the bookB. tell us how popular the book is todayC. tell us when Mark Twain wrote the storyD. tell us why the story sounds very realIt's an unquestioned truth of modern life：we are starved for time.We try our best to save bits of time here and there.Add it up，and we will finally get to everything we want to do.But this idea has been completely backward（1）______ We build the lives we want，and then time saves itself.Do we really have no time" I don't have time，" often means "It's not a priority（优先事项）." Time is highly flexible.We cannot make more time.However，time will stretch（延展）to accommodate what we choose to put into it.No one will leave the broken water heater aside.So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time；（2）______ Actually，it's a matter of choice.How do we treat our priorities？First，we need to figure out what our priorities are.Actually we may give ourselves a performance review.What three to five things did we do that made it so amazing？Next，we can write them into next year's performance review.We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on in the next year.（3）______（4）______ Scientists find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoon.Friday afternoon is what an economist might call a "low opportunity cost" time.Most of us are not sitting there on Friday afternoon saying，" But we are willing to think about what those should be.So take a little bit of time Friday afternoon，and make ourselves a three-category priority list：career，relationships，self.It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good aspects can go.There is time. （5）______ .And when we focus on what matters，we can build the lives we want in the time we've got.A.it's that I'm too busy for it.B.it's that I don't want to do it.C.When do we plan our priorities？D.Make sure there's time for the important things.E.We don't build the lives we want by saving time.F.Even if we are busy，we have time for what matters.G.And then we need to break these down into doable steps.16.

Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help. Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists(地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (传闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?"Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at ***********************************.1.Who is the activity probably intended for?A.OfficialsB.ExpertsC.FamiliesD.Romans.2.If you take part in the activity, you ________.A.will be coached by experts in the fieldB.will be charged for using equipmentC.should have worked with archaeologists beforeD.should spare two weeks to stay at the site3.What's the main purpose of the activity?A.To seek funding for archaeological research.B.To appeal for help inproving findings based on anecdotal evidence.C.To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.D.To organize volunteers to help sort our data on the Roman occupation.BTaking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and theBeijingversion of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor atJohnsHopkinsUniversity. “Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap.” he said.Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel groggy when they wake up. “Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day”, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure “sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder.” Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep first.4. What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?A. Take a nap every day.B. Take sleep disorder seriously.C. Have a good sleep at night.D. Do exercise regularly.5. How did the researchers reach the conclusion?A. By taking the examinations and assessment.B. By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.C. By measuring nappers’ ability and analyzing them.D. By doing an experiment.6. Which has NO effect on one’s sleeping behaviors?A. Taking a nap.B. Medicine treatmentC. Sleep problemsD. Everyday activities.7. What can we know about “slow-wave sleep”?A. It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.B. People should avoid it in their naps.C. It is a healthy part of an elder’s day.D. It was recommended by Neubauer.CIt is that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’ s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’ s because of the good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. That ’ s when she decided it was time to share herblessings.She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “ Feel free to take whatever you want,”Sharontold her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later,Sharonanswered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn’t mind.”Sharoncouldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharonwas confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadn’ t even planted any zucchini. But her neighborinsisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharonsmiled, “ Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbor looked atSharon, shock written all over her face. Then she smiled, and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighborhood, “I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”8. Why does the author suggest that people in the neighborhood should lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw rubbish in them.9. What does the underlined word “blessings” in the second paragraph mean?A. Tomatoes.B. God’s protection.C.Helpful things.D. Best wishes.10. What did the neighbor do inSharon’s garden?A. She harvested tomatoes only.B. She harvested zucchini by accident.C. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.D. She stole something withoutSharon’s permission.11. We can infer from the article that the neighbor’s bread would taste________.A. bitter but tastyB. strange and bitterC. hard and sourD. soft and sweetDTwo years ago, I decided to study at theUniversityofSt. Edwardsin the city ofAustin,Texas. When I was on my research to find the perfect place to study in, I considered many aspects: a safe place, a city where there were companies devoted to marketing or technology, a place where speaking Spanish and English was an advantage and a school where I could learn about digital strategies (数字策略). After comparing and evaluating many cities and universities. I finally decided onAustin.Since I arrived inAustin,Texas. I had been living inside the university where I had a private room and shared common areas with more students. University life was not very different from the life inMexicoand classes weresemblableand the way of socializing too. However, in theUnited States, the classes were more practical andteachers encouraged you to be self-responsible and complete your tasks.The classes that I was taking were related to social media, digital marketing and advertising. I was very excited to be able to study technology-related courses.What I liked most about the experience was being able to live with students from many places, which allowed me to learn from other cultures and to share mine with other students. Also, international student services usually organized events and tours that helped me to get to know the city and the school.I certainly think that studying abroad is a beneficial experience. It makes us capable of understanding cultural differences and accepting diversity. Personally, I would suggest that you first determine what your goals are by going abroad, research the opportunities and lifestyle, evaluate your universities,and finally decide on the one where you feel more comfortable, connecting with your values and way of seeing life.12. Which of the following can best describe the author according to paragraph 1？A. Casual.B. Cautious.C. Changeable.D. Adventurous.13.What does the underlined word “semblable” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Worthwhile.B. Practical.C. Same.D. Similar.14. What made the author most pleased?A. Speaking Spanish and English inAustin,Texas.B. Working as a designer in a technology company.C. Having a chance to learn about different cultures.D. Organizing many events and tours independently.15. What are the students who intend to study abroad advised to do?A. Be careful to choose the university to study in.B. Set no limits on theiracademic performances.C. Study where they're familiar with everything.D. Adjust personal lifestyles for the university.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。

China Satellite Navigation OfficeBA satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites sothey could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.5. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C. Because they can earn large profits from it.D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.6. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.CSam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from infront of Mrs Strawberry's farm.I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.I'm back where I started from.Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.8. What does this excerpt main describe?A. Delicate mental activities.B. Unique story environment.C. Everchanging story events.D. Complicated character relationship.9. What is Sam's first worry?A. How to get back quicklyB. How to get enough venison.C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful.D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself.10. What do we know about Frightful?A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food.B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily.D. He has given birth to babies in the university.11. Which of the following can best describe Sam?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Responsible.D. Unrealistic.DThursday, two Russian submarines(潜艇) dived down 2.5 miles into the Arctic Ocean and planted a national flag onto a piece of continental shelf known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(大陆地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.12. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge?A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces.B. To show its advanced technology of submarines.C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin.D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area.13. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?A. Making a comparison.B. Serving as a connecting link.C. Analyzing the cause and effect.D. Drawing the conclusion of the text.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean.B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen.C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What makes theArcticattractive?B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic?C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic?D. How does theArcticBasincome into being?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。
山西忻州市第一中学高一下期中英语试卷
2020-2021学年山西忻州市第一中学高一下期中英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s serie s appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1．. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want to be happyC．don’t want others to know they are richD．want others to know or to think that they are rich2．It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _________.A．live in New York City B．live outside New York CityC．live in apartments D．have many neighbors3．Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is _____.A．an important nameB．a popular name in the United StatesC．his neighbor’s nameD．not a good name4．According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.A．impossible B．interestingC．correct D．goodINTERNATIONAL TRADE OF POLANDEXPORTS5．Considering all imports and exports, what statement can be made about Poland’s trade? A．Poland imports food and exports natural materials.B．Poland imports natural materials and exports manufactured goods.C．Poland imports manufactured goods and exports natural materials.D．Poland imports manufactured goods and exports food.6．With which of the following does Poland carry on the most trade?A．Asia. B．Africa.C．Middle East. D．the United States.7．Judging from its economy, it could be concluded that most of Poland’s working people are _________.A．farmers B．fishing peopleC．skilled factory workers D．unskilled laborersFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.8．What does the smile usually mean in America?A．Love.B．Politeness.C．Joy.D．Thankfulness.9．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ . A．show friendliness to strangersB．be used to hide true feelingsC．be used in the wrong placesD．show personal habits10．What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people?A．Learn about their relations with others.B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.C．Find out about their past experience.D．Figure out what they will do next.11．What would be the best title for the test?A．Cultural DifferencesB．Smiles and RelationshipC．Facial ExpressivenessD．Habits and EmotionsA small piece of fish each day may keep the heart do ctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutchmen in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day,with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.12．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the effect of fish eating on people’s healthB．the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesC．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultureD．the changes in people’s diet13．We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.A．in the countries of the yellow-skin raceB．in the countries with good production of fishC．in the countries with high consumption of fishD．in highly-developed countries14．The underlined part “This relationship” may refer to the connection between ________ and the level of heart disease.A．the amount of fish eatenB．the kind of fish eatenC．regular fish-eatingD．people of different areas15．In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?A．Ads. B．Movies.C．Briefs. D．Health and Diet.二、七选五Are you truly happy?16．These are important questions for anyone who is looking for happiness to ask themselves. The following are a few tips to create happiness in my life. Make a plan for achieving goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods (情绪) will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.Try to stay with happy people.17．However, if you are around people who are happy, their emotional state will be infectious (感染的).When something goes wrong, try to find out a way instead of being buried in self-pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the environment back.18．These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.19．You can treat yourself to lunch, take a relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance. Then you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.20．A．It is easy to begin to think negatively (消极地) when you are surrounded by people who think that way.B．Being overweight or not eating good foods has a negative effect on your mood.C．Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? D．It’s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.E.Is it hard for you to reach your goal?F.Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.G.Speak your trouble out to your close friends openly.三、完形填空完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I lay there buried alive under our house when the bomb hit our city.

The Below Zero icecream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into delicious soft —serve ice cream.Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol contentat all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.4. What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?A. Will RogersB. WDS Dessert StationsC. HinkleyD. Below Zero5. What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?A. gums.B. stabilizers.C. NEA gel.D. ABV.6. What can we know from the passage?A. The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.B. It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.C. The higher the alcohol level, the shorter the wait will be.D. The machine changes the texture of beer, cocktails and even spirits.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. The machine affects the alcohol content.B. You can get drunk if you have ice—creams made from spirits.C. The American inventor doesn’t want to sell themagical machine.D. Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.CI was so worried about handing my little boy over during his first week of school, but you made it easier. You smiled at him like a mother would at her own child.You showed warmth and your hugs were always on offer.After a day in class with you, Charlie would come home singing. Whenever I hear Do Your Ears Hang Low or see him stretching to the sky when singing about the days of the week, I will think of you.I didn't tell you at the time, but I loved your morning song so much that Iimplementedit in my own class (I'm a teacher, too).When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.In the short time I knew you; you taught me about the type of teacher I desire to be. You never seemed disturbed by the mountain of paperwork or impossible work-life balance that comes with the role. Instead, you appeared to embrace every minute.I can't understand why you've been taken from us. Telling Charlie was one of the hardest things I've had to do.I'm not sure he fully understands, but he told me he loved you and has been asking whether your"robot powers"will work in heaven.A friend once told me white feathers are angels telling us that loved ones in heaven are well. On the first day collecting the children without you，a white feather floated through the sleet (雨夹雪). Watching the younger ones bounce and gigle as they tried to catch it was beautiful.I wish I had told you all of this when you were with us.I hope that you knew how you brought happiness to everyone you met and how loved you were.

To recall and show respect for Charlie's teacher.DFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that manyanthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.12. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior13. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery14. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up15. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.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。
