I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said, “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minu tes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wild ly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really—at night, when you’re asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”24. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design25. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.26. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.27. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CThere are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw foods, which means “uncooked” meat and bones. William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers, and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition that a pet needs every day.Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats and other pets. The guidelines give rules toprotect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk. Just as when you are preparing foods for human beings, use hot water and soap to wash your hands, containers, and surfa ces that come into contact with the food. Don’t put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them, and don’t allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.“If pet owners choose to f eed bones to their pets, they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,” Burk says, “If a pet eats a big piece of bone that won’t pass through its digestive system(消化系统), it is likely to kill the pet.”28. What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw meat?A. It’ll make the pet owners sick.B. It’ll keep the pets’ wild nature.C. It’s against the policy of the FDA.D. It’s dangerous and lack of nutrition.29. The FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat because________.A. pet safety is a serious problemB. most pets lack nutritionC. feeding pets on raw foods is popularD. the quality of pet foods is dropping30. Those who feed pets on raw foods should do some necessary cleaning when ________.A. preparing raw meat for petsB. touching the food containersC. taking their pets out for a walkD. preparing foods for human beings31. What suggestion is given to pet owners in the last paragraph?A. Pets should be forbidden to eat raw bones.B. Pets should be kept away from the raw meat.C. Pets should be checked on their digestive system.D. Pets should be watched carefully while eating bones.DWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protectthemselves against evils(灾祸).People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomachaches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.32. Why do Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven?A. Because of their cultural values.B. Because of their commercial purposes.C. Because of their personal experiences.D. Because of their physical reactions to the color.33. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?A. To relax people physically.B. To increase people’s appetites.C. To encourage people to make a purchase.D. To cause a pe rson’s blood pressure to rise.34. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. Red.B. Blue.C. Green.D. Purple.35. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Colors and Human BeingsB. The Cultural Meaning of ColorC. Colors and Personal ExperiencesD. The Meaning and Function of Color三、语法单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

But one thing that must be kept in mind is that when we ask others for suggestions we must be open to suggestions.I wrote a business letter one day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading the letter，he felt that there were some problems in my letter. I told him I needed more information，but he said he wasn’t sure. Then he reread the letter and made notes. I took the letter and revised it. As I was writing，I could see my letter improved based on his suggestions. Again，I handed the letter back to my husband proudly and confidently. But he said it was still not right. I was a little annoyed and said some bad words to him.Many people may have the same reaction when they experience the same situation. It’s normal that people don’t like objection or critical words. However，we should hold a right attitude towards these words: Analyze the objection and listen to critical words with an open mind.I then picked up the letter. After an hour of revision，I went back to my husband contritely. I told him I was sorry for what I had said. And after he read the letter again，he declared that it was fine.That leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project，be grateful. Understand that the suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.4. Why did the author give her business letter to her husband?A. To show off her excellent work.B. To ask him to make some changes.C. To have him type it on the computer.。

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”. I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow(浅的) water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters(章).21.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A.He could not catch a fish.B.His father was not patient with him.C.His father did not teach him fishing.D.He could not influence a fish as his father did.22.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ______ .A.in deep water on sunny daysB.in deep water on cloudy daysC.in shallow water under sunlightD.in shallow water under waterside trees23.After entering the business world, the author found_______ .A.it easy to think like a customerB.his father’s fishing advice inspiringC.his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD.it difficult to sell services to poor peopleB.When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It was not the first time I had been abroad.Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems. How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give me American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,”I said, “I want to give my fiend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,”he said, “Are you getting married?But aren’t you a bit young?”“Who is talking about marriage()?”I replied. “I only want to give me friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone ?”“Oh!”he said, “There is a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,”she said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other! ”24.Where was the writer from?A.AmericaB.FranceC. EnglandD. China25.The writer thought_________ in America.A. he w ouldn’t have any language difficulties.B.he would not understand the AmericansC.the Americans would not understand hiD.he would have difficulties at the airport.26.From the passage, we can see that “give somebody a ring”__________A.means the same in America as in EnglandB. means “call somebody” to the old manC.means “be going to get married with somebody”D. has two different meanings in America and in England.27.In the last paragraph the underlined word “they”means_____A.the old man and the young manB. the AmericansC. the BritishD. the FrenchC.The internet has become part of teenager life.A new report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them believe they use the internet often.While most of them get useful information and use the internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in good way.In order to help young people use the internet in a good way, a textbook on good internet behaviour has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the internet. The book gives useful advice such as it is good to read news or find helpful information to study.Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline,make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents all think the book is of great help.A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the internet. She believes it will keep students away from sites. “many students are using the internet without guidance from their parents,”she said. “The book will teach students how to be a good person in the online world.”28.The text book mainly tells us______A.why we should use the internetB. how to study using the internetC. how to get help from othersD.how to use the internet correctly29.According to the passage, teenagers are NOT encouraged to _________A.read online newsB. go onlineC.find helpful information onlineD.meet a friend offline without letting their parents know30.From this passage we know that__________A.more and more students have given up visiting bad websitesB.schools and teachers begin to pay attention to students’ use of the internetC.no more homework will be given in Shanghai middle schoolD.less and less information can be found online第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 31So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! 32_ Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 33__Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. __34_ And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 35__第三部分：完型填空（每小题1分，满分20分）I did very badly at school.

2018-2019学年广东省深圳中学高一（上）期末英语试卷1.（填空题，6分）When I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived, thick, heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding, finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life. It was so exhilarating when the wind blew across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day I was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside. I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course（走偏），straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second, I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,"You have to steer（操控）！You have to steer！"Sadly, that wasn't the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times, problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isn't always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, and back to goodness.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight. Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.（1）What do we know about the author when he was very young？___A． He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B． He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C． He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D． He carried his brothers' sleds as they went sledding.（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "exhilarating" in Paragraph 2？___A． delightfulB． terrifyingC． ordinaryD． violent（3）What does the author mean to tell us？___A． Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B． Courage and determination can change one's life.C． Life can be controlled by one himself.D． Life is a mystery full of connections.2.（填空题，6分）Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world.There are about 6，000 sounds that are spoken in languages around the globe, but not every language uses every sound. For example, while the Swedish language has 16 vowel sounds, English uses 8 vowel sounds, and Japanese uses just 5．Adults can hear only the sounds used in the languages they speak fluently. To a native Japanese speaker, for instance, the letters R and L sound the same.Starting at around 6 months old, a baby's brain focuses on the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most. In a similar way, older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. In English, for example, children who are about 18 months old star to figure out that words ending in "-ing" or "-ed" are usually verbs and that verbs are action words.Scientists are particularly interested in the brains of people who speak more than one language fluently because that is hard to do after about age 7． In one experiment, for example, native Chinese speakers spoke Chinese to 9-month-old American babies for 12 sessions over 4 weeks Each session lasted about 25 minutes. In the end, the American babies reacted to Chinese sounds just as well as Chinese babies didAt about the age of seven,these skills begin to develop slowly. It gets harder to memorize new sounds. So,if you don't start studying Spanish or Russian until middle school,you must filth against years of brain development,and progress may be not optimistic.Understanding a baby's brain may also help scientists design computers that learn languages as easily as babies do. Useful as computers are,they cannot understand a wide range of voices or communicate like people do.（1）Which of the following may confuse naive Japanese speaker most？___A． row and lowB． like and lakeC． brain and trainD． boiling and boiled（2）What can we infer from the text？___A． Language learning helps develop human brains.B． The best time to learn languages is right after birth.C． It is challenging to learn a new language after the age of 7．D． 6-month-old babies may understand simple grammatical rules.（3）What is the best title for the text？___A． The Development of Babies' BrainsB． Babies are Good Language LearnersC． Ways to Help Children Learn LanguagesD． New Findings about Babies' Languages3.（填空题，8分）Imagine a home where your shower runs a quick health check when you step in and your bed is equipped with sensors（传感器）that recognize any signs of ill health. Collected data gets shared across different home devices and provides warnings to ensure your health isn't ruined. In the near future,we'll be able to live in such a smart home where resources （资源）can be shared effectively and intelligently,while personalized services are provided for individuals based on their unique routines and needs.Cox Communications, the largest private telecommunications company in the US， has designed a super smart home for the old, which is called the Connected Independence. A strong Internet connection is central to the home, and the company also provides a network for other service providers. Not only is the equipment remotely controlled, but this home also includes direct connections to family members and health professionals. For example, a person can perform his physical treatment remotely with online guidance from a doctor.In a modern smart home,if something goes wrong,your family can be informed immediately. However,the person living in the smart home maintains his/her sense of independence. Moreover,assistive medical robots are even used to replace human caregivers in smart homes. They can meet the different physical and emotional needs of people they care for.The current healthcare model that relies on home visits by doctors is gradually being replaced by new services. For example,home technology has proven useful in the care of people with dementia（痴呆）Computerized devices like coach can automatically glide an older person with dementia through activities（e g taking medicine）by using audio reminders,which can reduce the need for assistance.Experts agree that many health conditions could be monitored and treated in a home equipped with smart home products. However,there'll probably always be a need for hospitalsand face-to-face health interventions（干预），Even so,commuted home health should be encouraged as it offers many opportunities for patient control.（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？___A． To show what smart homes are like.B． To stress how clean smart homes are.C． To tell when smart homes are operated.D． To explain why smart homes are popular.（2）In the Connected Independence, what are all services provided mainly based on？___ A． Resource network.B． Internet connection.C． Medical technology.D． Operating instruction.（3）What becomes possible in smart homes thanks to computerized devices like COACH？___ A． Disease prevention.B． Disease management.C． The control of diseases.D． The recovery from diseases.（4）What can we infer about connected smart homes from the last paragraph？___A． They will become the key to ensuring good health soon.B． They could be used to replace all the healthcare services.C． They should be used cautiously to provide medical services.D． They shouldn't completely replace existing healthcare services.4.（填空题，30分）One day,many years ago,when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room.

He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes.With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on.” James said.James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually,becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the Support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”4．Why did James Henry take over the soccer team?A．Because he wanted to try his fortune.B．Because he wanted to turn things around.C．Because the previous coach recommended him.D．Because he hoped to fulfill his champion dream.5．What did James do to change the situation?A．Pick experienced players.B．Develop players’ patience.C．Lay stress on basic skills.D．Make decisions for the girls.6．What did the team achieve after James was in charge?A．They won the league championship.B．They stood out in James’ first season.C．They scored 30 goals in the season.D．They won regularly and secured promotion.7．What can we learn from the story?A．Talent is the key.B．Joint efforts matter.C．Every dog has his day.D．Time and tide wait for no man.A happy beagle (小猎犬) called Bella loves Amazon boxes. It tears into them while ignoring other delivery boxes. Little Bit, a tortoiseshell cat, is similarly consumed — but by socks. It raids (偷袭) the laundry basket in the middle of the night and also paws through the open suitcases of house guests, who almost always find themselves missing a sock in the morning. Pets do some pretty weird things. But these strange behaviors often make perfect sense to the pets, said scientists who study animal behaviors. “These behaviors are not invented on the spot,” said Carlo Siracusa, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. The pets are doing behaviors that their wild ancestors did, but they’ve changed them a bit to fit their new lives as pets.Dogs can be trained to roll over and play dead. But their ancient instincts from their wolf ancestors are still there. Instincts, or instinctive behaviors, are behaviors that are done withoutthinking. They don’t have to be learned. For example, some dogs will scratch the ground after pooping(排便). But they’re not trying to bury their poop. They want other animals to notice it. “They are depositing smell in those areas,” Siracusa said. “It’s almost like drawing a picture with a big red marker around it,” he added.Cats, on the other hand, almost always bury their waste. “They are covering their tracks,” says Monique Udell, an expert on human-animal interactions who works at Oregon State University. Cats are predators, meaning they hunt other animals for food. But other animals hunt them, too. So they don’t want to be seen-or smelled. Mikel Delgado, the founder of a California-based cat behavior consulting service, said that many other cat behaviors, arise from cats’ wild origins.While dogs share many behaviors inherited (继承) from wolves, they’ve also developed a few of their own. “Puppy dog eyes”, the innocent look that many humans are helpless to resist, is one. Over the time period that they’ve lived with people, dogs have developed certain muscles around their eyes. This helps them make the adorable expressions that win over humans. Like wolves, dogs also like to lick faces. Humans think their pets are kissing them, but they are not. “It’s how wolf puppies get food from their parents’ mouths,” Siracusa said. “It also can be a sign of submission. When a lower-ranking individual approaches a higher-ranking one, it gets down real low and licks the dominant one to say: ‘I’m not a threat to you.’”8．What has been done to introduce the topic in Paragraph 1?A．Telling a story.B．Making a comparison.C．Presenting research results.D．Criticizing pets’ bad behaviors. 9．Which can best replace the word “depositing” in Paragraph 2?A．leaving B．hiding C．removing D．detecting 10．Which statement summarizes the third paragraph?A．Cats are interested in burying their waste.B．Humans like the fact that their pet cats bury their waste.C．Pet cats bury their waste because their wild ancestors did so.D．Cats have changed a lot after becoming pets.11．How do wolves show submission to dominant wolves?A．Wolves run energetically around dominant wolves.B．Wolves show dominant wolves “puppy dog eyes”.C．Wolves beg food from dominant wolves.D．Wolves lick dominant wolves’ faces.A new study suggests that science role-playing may help tighten the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM)education and careers for women simply by improving their identity as scientists.Frustrated by the gender gap in STEM, in which some fields employ at least three times more men than women, Cornell graduate student Reut Shachnai wanted to do something about it. Reut said the idea to help foster young girls’ interest in science came to her during a lecture in a class she was taking on Psychology of Imagination.Reut designed an experiment to test if assuming the role of a successful scientist would improve girls’ persistence in a “sink or float” science game. The game itself was simple yet challenging: a computer screen projected a slide with an object in the center above a pool of water. Kids then had to predict whether the object would sink or float.She studied 240 four -to -seven -year -olds, because this is around the time kids first develop their sense of identity and capabilities. They were divided into two groups. Children in the “story” group learned about the successes and struggles of a gender -matched scientist before playing the game. Boys heard about Isaac Newton and girls were told about Marie Curie. Children in the “pretend” group were told to assume the identity of the scientist they just learned about.All kids played at least one round of the game. No matter what group they were in, girls got the answers right just as often as boys -nearly 70% of the time. Boys, however, didn’t really benefit from the stories or make-believe. Besides, girls pretending to be Dr. Marie persisted twice as long at the sink-or-float game, playing just as much as the boys did.Reut’s teacher Tamar Kushnir said, “Rather than merely hearing about role models, children may benefit from actively performing the type of actions they see role models perform. In other words, taking a few steps in the role model’s shoes, instead of merely observing her walk.”12．Why did Reut design a “sink or float” science game?A．To handle the gender gap in STEM.B．To attach importance to STEM.C．To draw kids’ attention to STEM.D．To compare boys’ and girls’ persistence. 13．What can we infer from the sink-or-float game?A．Kids enjoyed listening to scientists’ stories.B．Boys avoided playing make-believe games.C．Girls performed as well as boys in science.D．Children followed Dr. Marie to explore science.14．What is Tamar Kushnir’s attitude towards kids’ assuming identity as scientists?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Negative. 15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Girls should get recognition like boys B．A fine example has boundless power for kidsC．Girls can work on more science games D．Make-believe exercises benefit girls in STEM二、七选五Find it hard to get started? Try these suggestions to help you rise and shine — and be effective from morning till night.● Get up earlierSleeping in can be a hard habit to break. Actually, it involves two things — going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. Start off by going to bed 15 minutes before your usual turn-in time and setting your alarm the same number of minutes earlier the next day. 16 .● Have a good stretch in bedBefore you even open your eyes, stretch every extremity (四肢) for 15 seconds. Lift your arm and begin by stretching each finger, next your hand, and then your arm. 17 . End with a neck and back stretch that gets you out of bed. By doing this, you will enhance the flow of blood through your system, providing your tissues with extra oxygen.● 18The fewer choices you have to make, the better. Before going to bed, decide what you’re going to wear, work out which route you’ll take to work and what you’ll pack in your bag.● Consult your morning calendarHang a large whiteboard in your kitchen. On it, write down all you need to know for that particular day, from doctor appointments to what you’re doing with your friends. Check it carefully while you sip your first cup of coffee or tea. 19 .● Get moving20 . But if you can get yourself into the habit, exercising in the morning can give you energy to jump-start your day.A．Plan aheadB．Move on to your toes, feet and legsC．It will help you to structure your dayD．Spend less time choosing things when packingE．Morning exercise can get you refreshed quicklyF．If you’re a night owl, an early morning jog might sound like punishmentG．Gradually reset your sleep cycle until you get to your desired wake-up time三、完形填空Several months ago, a tornado fiercely hit our city without any signs before.

广东省深圳市龙岗区高中2018-2019学年高一上期中测试英语试题第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AWith exams just around the comer, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known (鲜为人知的）study spaces and get down to some revision. Here, are some good choices for you:UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online, before you head to the place. Located on the 3rd floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual (供一人用的）and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as armchairs and computers.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly-redecorated UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along G ray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 8 pm. The library has 72 study spaces and many IT facilities (设备）.The library also has a study room for meetings, and a computer room with a whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been redecorated to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most UCL libraries and tends to fill up quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register (注册）for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places which are a little less used by UCL students but perfect for students who want to focus on some hard work.1. The four places are mainly introduced to someone who __________.A. loves readingB. is preparing for examsC. likes learning onlineD. prefers to study in libraries2. What should students do online before they go to UCL Senate House Hub?A. Make an appointment in advance.B. Check the library’s opening hours.C. Check whether there are available seats.D. Check whether there are available armchairs.3. How many libraries can offer Internet services?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.4. What can be inferred from the passage?A. LaSS may be the smallest one in the four libraries.B. UCL Senate House Hub has the longest history.C. UCL Eastman Dental Library has no computer room.D. Senate House Library is not open to UCL students.BBefore you were my teacher, I thought that teaching was the last thing I wanted to do. Why would someone want to come in every day and attempt to instruct students, many of whom couldn't care less, or to get paid very little compared with the work he or she put in?You may have thought that the only thing I was learning from you was the course, but that’s not all l learned. From reference books to funny jokes, you made each class exciting. You always tried to make class charming so that we could be excited about learning. However, those days have gone by.Whenever I was confused and needed extra help, you were the exact one to turn to. I would walk into your room for help and there would be several kids. You ran from one student to the next helping each one through their confusion. You could have gone back home after the bell rang. Instead, you chose to Stay and care about what your students did.You didn't only care about my learning, but you also cared about other things I was involved in. At the beginning of the year, we wrote down our hobbies and interests. You remembered what we wrote, too. I had missed class for track meets (田径运动会)and when I came back the next day, you would ask me how it went. Many of the teachers never bothered to ask what I liked to do.These things showed me the value of teaching. They showed me how much of an influence a teacher can have on a student. I want to be the one that influences students and pushes them toward success. I wantstudents to leave my classroom thinking that their time was worthwhile (值得的). I want to be the inspiration for them that you were for me. Whenever it gets hard for me to continue on this path, I’ll remember you and what you did for me.5. What did the author think of teaching before the teacher taught him?A. Dull but worthwhile.B. Boring and low-paid.C. Honorable but dangerous.D. Challenging and easily-attacked.6. How did the author find the teacher’s class in Paragraph 2?A. Disappointing.B. DifficultC. Fascinating.D. Common.7. The teacher asked his students to write down their hobbies and interests to _________.A. understand them betterB. involve them, in more activitiesC. treat them differentlyD. control them in a better way8. What does the author think the value of teaching lies in?A. The care and passion that teachers have.B. The process of students’ forming a good habit.C. The successful students whom a teacher has taught,D. The influence on s tudents’ development in the future.CYouth sports are being hijacked (操控）.The sports that your kids play are being taken over by a misguided drive to make them better athletes in the hope of getting glory (荣誉）at “the next level” — the Olympic Games, the World Cup9 etc. At younger ages, parents are pushed to put their kids in programs that cost a lot of time and money. What’s the harm? Several things.Playing too much at an “elite”（精英）level can lead to serious injuries and exhaustion. It will be different if kids play on their own. They can just run around until they’re tired, free from the stress of barking coaches and parents. Even European professional clubs realize this — famous Dutch club Ajax trains its players aged 12 and under three times a week and asks them to go to play on their own: Under these conditions,players can play with no one telling them what to do and they can be totally free.Specialization (专门化）in one sport runs similar risks. You can’t even tell which players will be the best at this age. The best players on the world's stage in under-17 competition are usually not the same players that you will see a few years later. So why do you think you know how good a player you child will be before he or she hits puberty (进入青春期)？A player who i s considered an “elite” at age 8 based on nothing more than early athletic development is often frustrated when everyone else catches up at age 12. (And then that player is likely to give up.) Recreational (娱乐的）play, which benefits everyone from the elite athlete seeking “the next level” to the sickly child who needs exercise, is dying out.What can you do about it? Become a well-educated consumer just as you buy any other goods- or service. And above all else, make sure you’re doing what’s best for your child and his or her interests. Don’t get caught up in the rat race of trying to keep up with your neighbors.9. What do we know about kids at an “elite” level?A. They can do what they love.B. They may enjoy their own activities.C. Coaches treat them no better than parents.D. Children don’t have a say in choosing their own activities.10. What is the author’s attitude towards specialization in one sport?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Unconcerned.D. Interested.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Youth sports should develop based on children’s interests.B. The earlier kids are in the rat race, the better their futures are.C. The more glory athletes hope to get, the better they are.D. Early athletic development is the key to success.DWith more and more students being given unconditional offers (无条件入学许可）before they take their exams, have universities made A levels useless? A student has an unconditional offer even before he or she takes the final Year 13 exams. Based on a student’s Year 12 g rades and his or her predicted results (预测成绩），a place at university has been given to him or her.An education writer Laura Mclnerney discovered that earlier this year a survey by the University andCollege Union found one in ten staff said their university was making unconditional offers based on predicted grades alone. Birmingham University, part of the Russell Group, has built a whole unconditional offer plan, saying that applicants (申请人)with great academic performance in their schooling can get an offer, regardless of their final results, just so long as they make Birmingham their top choice. In 2014, Nottingham University made 176 unconditional offers to applicants with predicted three or more A grades. At least eight students started their degrees without achieving any As. Several achieved Ds or Es in at least one subject.The Times Higher Education has criticized the practice of giving unconditional offers based on the grounds of fairness. It has found that the practice is becoming more popular, year on year whilst the offers are largely given to the same people — students coming from rich families.But for the rest of us, how have A levels affected our preparation levels? For most students, they spend much time in preparing for A levels. With tough deadlines (苛刻的截止时间), high expectations and the added pressures of having to be responsible, A levels hit us at the perfect age and before we spend £15,000 a year with loans.What is your opinion? Are A levels useless? Or are they a relic of our schooling system?12. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. A levels are of great use to some students.B. A levels are given to the students with high Year 12 grades.C. Students will receive As unconditionally in the A Level examination.D. Some students may get unconditional offers before the final Year 13 exams.13. Birmingham University promises to give places to students who __________.A. get As on their final examsB. show their interest in Birmingham UniversityC. get good grades and choose Birmingham as their first choiceD. prove their grades are excellent either in schooling or on their final exams14. Which of the following would The Times Hitter Education agree with?A. The fairness of schooling system is being lost.B. The practice of schooling grades is being limited.C. The students receiving Ds are forbidden to go to university.D. The universities giving unconditional offers should be punished.15. What does Paragraph 4 mainly want to show us?A. Entering a good college is everyone’s goal.B. A levels seem difficult for most students.C. Preparing for A levels seems to need more patienceD. Passing A levels is the only way to enter a top university.第二节(共5小题;.每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every time her mom took her to the bookstore, she would buy two books. By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them.Mom said to Lisa the next day, “I think we need to get you your own library card.”“Wow!”cried Lisa. “I’ve always wanted a library card.”The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could barrow on her card Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places.Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the li brary, she didn’t have her card. “Oh no!” Lisa said to the lady at the desk. “I can’t find my library card!” “I’m sorry,”said the lady. “I can’t let you t ake any books without your card.” Lisa left the Library, kind of worried.When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card. “You were lucky that the boy found your card,” said Mom. “You need to be very careful.” “Having a library card is a big responsibility.” Lisa said, “I think I will k eep it in my wallet.” Mom said,“Let’s go back to the library and get those books you wanted.” “Sounds grea t,” said Lisa.When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too. While they were in the library, Mom told Lisa the boy that found her card was sitting at the round table. Lisa went over to him and said, “Thank you for finding my card.” He told Lisa he was glad to help, and they both looked for some mystery books together. Lisa had her books, her card, and a new friend too!4. What did Lisa do after Mom filled out the paper?A. Check out books.B. Use the computer.C. Print her name.D. Watch a movie.5. What are Lisa’s favorite types of bo oks to read?A. Adventures.B. Mysteries.C. True Stories.D. Tall Tales.6.What can we conclude from the passage?A. Lisa felt sad when she lost her card.B. Mom bought Lisa two kinds of book.C. There is a private library in Lisa’s house.D. One of Lisa’s friends found her card.7.What is the best title for the text?A. Lisa and Her MomB. The Lost Library CardC. Lisa’s Reading HobbyD. Making a New FriendCIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. Sh e’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointmen t, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关）science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修）in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.)“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworke r’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer. I simpl y can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son.I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather fo llow my dreams and create my own future.8. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’s dreams.B. The writer’s future job.C. Dinner plans.D. Wars around the world.9.

The writer’s mother gets along very well with the writer.D. The writer’s mother doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea.10.What does the underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Agrees.B. Shouts.C. Complains.D. Smiles.11.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.DTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York-he in computers, she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1988, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation（基金会）that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age fi ve in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee .“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk,“as a reminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure（小册子）still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts（折扣）。
