Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.“When I was a boy, I thought t he world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant.But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t haveenough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. Wewent to meeti ngs and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop.They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think aboutthe futur e. They thought nothing could be done about it.”“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people.

I have learned it by heartand bet(打赌)I could give it myself.”“Well, I'll give you the chances，”said Einstein, “theydon't know me at the next school. So when we get there, I'll put on your cap and you introduce yourself as me and give the lecture.” The driver gave Einstein's lecture so wonderfully thathe didn't make any mistakes. When he finished, he started to leave, but one of the professors stopped him and asked him a question which was very difficult. The driver thought fast. “Theanswer to that question is so simple，”he said, “I'm surprised you have to ask me, in fact,to show you just how simple it is, I'm going to ask my driver to come up here and answer your question.”9．The driver asked Albert Einstein to give him a chance to give lectures because A．he thought the theory of relativity simpleB．he didn't understand the theory of relativity at allC．he had heard the lecture so many times that he could recite itD．he wanted to show how well he understood the theory of relativity10． and he let driver have a try.A．Albert Einstein was a very kind manB．Albert Einstein knew it was impossible for the driver to give the lectureC．Albert Einstein knew the driver was able to give the lectureD．Albert Einstein wanted to make fun of the driver11．The driver thought that the professor's question wasA．too easy for him to answerB．too difficult for him to answerC．simple enough for Einstein to answerD．so difficult that Einstein couldn't answer it either12．What do you think of the driver?A．He was a foolish man.B．He was as clever as Einstein.C．He was bright enough to master the theory of relativity.D．He was such a clever man that he fooled the professor and other people.DThe most popular food in America was invented because a cook got angry. George Crum was a cook at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day in 1853, a customer who had ordered fried potatoes sent them back to the kitchen. He wanted the cook to slice (切片) them thinner and fry them longer. George Crum had a bad temper (脾气), and he thought the potatoes were fine the way he made them. To teach the customer a lesson, he sliced potatoes very thin and fried them until they were crispy (脆的). But instead of being angry, the customer loved the new fried potatoes. He asked for more. Other people who tried them liked them too and customers kept asking for them. For many years, people called them Saratoga chips after the town where they were first made. Even now, after more than 150 years, potato chips are very popular. At least one of every ten potatoes grown in the United States is made into potato chips.

2021-2022学年甘肃省金昌市永昌第一高级中学高一(下)第一次月考英语试卷(附答案详解)
2021-2022学年甘肃省金昌市永昌第一高级中学高一（下）第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）ANowadays there seems to be an app for everything.And mobile apps have been a part of our life.The following apps are part of the most popular apps.Ctrip can be the best helper when you feel it hard to buy the train orairline tickets.You can buy tickets anywhere at anytime.Ximalaya Reading has millions of books including poems,shortstories,novels and even fairy tales for children.What's special about it isthat you can use it to download book recording that can be listened to.Ithas more than 1 million valuable resources.Baby Bus is a very good friend for children under three years old.Kidscan learn to speak,understand numbers and draw pictures with the helpof this app.World Hero may help learn more English words while you're playinggames,so if you have problems remembering the new words when youlearn English,use it!1.Ctrip is a useful app for ______ .A. playing gamesB. learning EnglishC. booking ticketsD. drawing pictures2.You can NOT know about ______ from Ximalaya Reading.A. poemsB. novelsC. newsD. fairy tales3.To remember words in a fun way, ______ is a good choice.A. CtripB. World HeroC. Baby BusD. World of Tanks BlitzBLast Thursday,New Zealand announced a plan.Under the plan,the country would make it illegal for people born after 2008 to buy cigarettes（香烟）.The plan is made to keep young people from ever starting to smoke.And it won't make a difference to people who are currently smokers.Starting in 2023，people under the age of 15 would be from buying cigarettes.After that,the age limit for buying tobacco products would be raised every year.By 2050，someone would have to be at least 42 years old to buy cigarettes.In short,the move will stop people born after 2008 from ever buying tobacco products.Tobacco products contain a drug called nicotine（尼古丁）.Though nicotine is a poison,when people have a little bit of it,it can give them an excited feeling.Over time,nicotine changes the body so people feel like they need more of it.They may feel sick if they don't get more.Then people are unable to stop taking it.That's why it's so difficult for people to stop smoking.It's one of the leading causes of deaths around the world.In New Zealand,about 5，000 people die every year from illnesses connected with smoking.No country has ever tried an age limit-raising plan like New Zealand's before.The government says studies show that cigarettes sales to young people drop when the age limit is raised.The new plan,which is expected to become a law next year,is the first of its kind in the world.4.What's the purpose of the new plan______A. To prevent people from smoking.B. To order the young not to start smoking.C. To stop people from buying cigarettes.D. To encourage young people to start smoking.5.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word "banned"？______A. Stopped.B. Protected.C. Forced.D. Encouraged.6.Which of the following sentences can be put into the blank？______A. It is very expensive to buy cigarettes in New Zealand.B. But sometimes cigarettes can make people relaxed.C. Do you want to know more about cigarettesD. Smoking tobacco is very dangerous to human's health.7.In which part of a newspaper may you read the passage？______A. Health.B. Sports.C. Entertainment.D. School life.CWhen I worked in a large city,passing by someone who was homeless wasn't an uncommon sight.The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.I felt I must do something,and,as a single mother,I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget.I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them out to those I met on the street each week.Though a dollar felt like a small amount,I realized how powerful it was.For me,I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me.Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together.On some occasions,I was able to give more.I don't know how and if the dollars helped,but I know that the connections we made did.One day after I had started this weekly practice,I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat.With it around my shoulders,I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold.However,at that moment,I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness.I turned to the salesman who had helped me,and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat,walking to the corner,and offering it to someone in need.Slightly ，he smiled. "I will as soon as I get a break," he said. "Thanks for being so considerate."I can't help but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on,and in this way,I feel I've helped more than just those I pass by on the street.Kindness touches many hearts,and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.8.Why did the author decide to come up with a plan______A. Because she wanted to increase her limited budget.B. Because she needed to set aside some bills.C. Because she always passed by some homeless people.D. Because she wanted to do something for the homeless people.9.What did the author think of the dollars she gave to those people？______A. It didn't make sense.B. It could help them a lot.C. It might have been a small amount to them.D. It brought a friendly connection between them.10.What do the underlined words "taken aback" in the fourth paragraph probably mean______A. Surprised.B. Satisfied.C. Upset.D. Frightened.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______A. Helping People Who Are Homeless.B. My Experiences with Kindness.C. Raising Money to Help Those in Need.D. My Weekly Practice of Helping Others.DAnyone watching the Winter Olympics in Beijing,China over the last few days will have seen lots and lots of snow ---- man-made snow.Since the area gets little natural snow,this is the first time the Winter Olympics is taking place on almost 100% artificial snow.This year's Winter Olympics are being held in Beijing,China,and in two areas northwest of Beijing,Yangqing and Zhangjiakou.The areas get cold in the winter,but they don't get a lot of snow.That's because they're not far from the Gobi Desert,and are generally very dry.That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics there.China took water from a reservoir which helps supply Beijing's drinking water and sent it to a nearby river.To carry the water to the mountains for making snow,the country ran miles and miles of pipes.China says making the snow took about 49，000 gallons （185，500 liters）of water.Outside experts say it probably took a lot more water than that.China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow.TechnoAlpin created artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics.For the snow in this year'sOlympics,TechnoAlpin laid over 40 miles （64 kilometers）of pipe and brought in hundreds of snow-making machines.Even with all of those machines,making the snow for this year's Games took seven weeks.It's useful to be able to make snow when nature doesn't provide enough.But artificial snow isn't the same as natural snow,which has more air and less water.An athlete used to natural snow might have to adjust their style on man-made snow.Still,the machines that make artificial snow are quite advanced.They can make several different kinds of snow depending on what's needed for each sport.For example,the snow they make for downhill skiing is different from the snow made for cross-country skiing.A few athletes have complained about the snow at this year's Olympics.Most others say it'sbeen just fine.In recent years,it has become more and more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events.That's true even in places that used to have a lot of snow naturally.Some artificial snow was used in the Winter Olympics in 2010 and 2014 because of warm weather.In the 2018 Games in PyeongChang,South Korea,roughly 90% of the snow was man-made.As the world warms because of climate change,problems like this are expected to become far more common.Michael Mayr,who leads TechnoAlpin in Asia,says, "You could not have winter sports now without man-made snow."12.Why does the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics use artificial snow______A. To save energy.B. To keep athletes happy.C. To provide enough snow.D. To protect the environment.13.To create the snow,China first has to ______ .A. built a reservoirB. lay miles of pipesC. find the source of waterD. carry the water to the mountains14.TechnoAlpin was chosen to create the snow for ______ .A. the friendship between China and TechnoAlpinB. the request of the Olympic CommitteeC. the lack of snow making companyD. TechnoAlpin's rich experience15.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph？______A. The reasons of climate change.B. Some examples of warm weather.C. The expectations of artificial snow.D. The necessity of using artificial snow.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language.When you speak,your speech might be slower than you would like.This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English,which can also sound unnatural. (1) It is not very difficult,but it does take conscious effort and practice.Think in single wordsCharles Thomas has taught English to Union members,children and teenagers for over 10 years.He tells his students to name the things that they see around them,wherever they are. (2) Think in sentencesFor example,if you are sitting in a park,you can tell yourself things like, "It's such a beautiful day" and "People are playing sports with their friends." (3)Think in conversationThis is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation.For example,let's say the imaginary person asks you a question like, "What did you think of the talk show last night " (4) Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head.You can do this out loud or in silence.(5)"When you're doing it every day,over and over again,little by little,that's the key.Because when you make things a habit,it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then,before you know it,really,you're thinking in English," Thomas says.A.Practice it daily.B.How would you answerC.Speak English with a native speaker.D.As the saying goes,practice makes perfect.E.Start with nouns and then add in verbs,he suggests.F.Once this becomes easy,move on to more difficult sentences.G.The good news is that thinking in English will bring you closer to fluency!16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

甘肃省永昌县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Four Cool LanguagesChineseAround 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B．C．ArabicOver 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.EnglishAround 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.ItalianNearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth.1．What is a feature of Arabic?A．It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts.B．It helps artists with their artworks.C．It is written from right to left.D．It is closely related to music.2．Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world?A．Arabic.B．English.C．Chinese.D．Italian.3．What’s the number of people who speak Italian?A．Nearly 68 million.B．Around 370 million.C．Over 379 million.D．Around 1.4 billion.Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll (洋娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice.“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.4．What can we know about Valentina?A．She was sad at losing Beatrice.B．She has brown hair.C．She loved taking photos with Beatrice.D．She lives in Tokyo.5．What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost?A．They sent an email to the airline.B．They got in touch with James.C．They searched their travel bags.D．They spread the message online.6．How did Valentina get her doll back?A．She found it at home.B．James sent it back in person.C．She got it from the waiting room.D．Her parents discovered it on the plane. 7．How did the Texas family feel about James act?A．Encouraged.B．Confident.C．Calm.D．Thankful.Yue-Sai Kan was born in China. In 1972, she moved to New York. When Kan was a child, she was told by her father that she should always aim to (力争) be the first because no one remembered the second. What her father said has been a driving inspiration over the years for her to become a bestselling author and a successful businesswoman.Her new book Be a Pioneer, which is the tenth she has written and her first Chinese-language autobiography (自传), was produced after three years, inspired by her father’s words.When writing an autobiography, the biggest challenge is not how to present one’s life, but to remember it. To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times. So besides featuring Kan’s own words, the new book is also filled with those of her friends’s, which gives Kan a new understanding of herself — a woman who works hard, studies hard. and the most important thing is that she is a woman filled with a sense of responsibility.“My helper Stephanie mentioned that I was worried because we were running out of money for the company. My housekeeper reminded me that before the start of one of my events she found that I had fainted (晕倒) in the bathroom. I was so tired that I was getting sick. They know more about me than myself,” Kan says.“Writing a book is a good business to be in, not so much to make money but to grow the brain. I believe what I do will benefit the world. All the things I have done in Be a Pioneer — my successes and my failures — can be a good example to young people in particular. That’s the main reason why I wrote the book,” adds Kan.8．What can we know about Kan’s book Be a Pioneer?A．It took her 10 years to finish.B．It is full of her father’s words.C．It was completed with her friends’ help.D．It tops the tenth on the bestseller list.9．What is Kan’s difficulty in writing her autobiography?A．Being short of money.B．Having no supporters.C．Having to write it in Chinese.D．Remembering her past.10．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A．To tell Kan is weak in health.B．To show Kan is a worried woman.C．To report the path of writing is difficult.D．To state how Kan’s story was reconstructed.11．What is Kan’s book Be a Pioneer aimed at?A．Setting an example.B．Earning money.C．Making herself popular.D．Proving herself to her father.A lot of people find it difficult to do exercise regularly, even though they know it’s good for their physical and mental (身心上的) health. Yet keeping on a workout routine doesn’t necessarily go to the gym or run around your neighborhood. Gardening is a great example of a popular hobby that can be used as a workout.Nashville resident Tom Adkinson, 72, is on board with the idea of gardening to stay fit. He has three gardens, which he uses primarily to grow tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and okra. Like traditional exercise, Adkinson does a lot of preparation before gardening, and then he spends hours watering and weeding (除草) all three gardens, involving bending and stretching, which he compares to performing garden yoga.“It is wise of Adkinson to do so. Even though gardening may not appear difficult, using the body in new ways can make you hurt if you don’t warm up beforehand,” said Zeller, who teaches at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County in New Jersey.Working in your garden just two hours a week could improve your mood. And the communal gardening, which is done by a number of people as a group in communities and schools, provides social benefits that can reduce stress and help fight against loneliness and even dementia according to studies.“With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend (趋势) in the coming year,”announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”12．What do the underlined words “on board with” mean in paragraph 2?A．In support of.B．At the risk of.C．Under the control of.D．In opposition to.13．What did Zeller probably suggest doing before gardening?A．Having a good rest.B．Getting enough water ready.C．Doing warm-up exercise.D．Preparing tools for weeding.14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Tips for gardening.B．The benefits of gardening.C．The process of garden management.D．The difference between personal and group gardening.15．Which activity may be added to the app Future according to Mandal?A．Running.B．Yoga.C．Gardening.D．Walking.Finding a California condor in the wild would be the most unusual treat. perhaps even more unusual than finding a wolf in Yellowstone National Park. In fact, the wolf was what opened my eyes to the fact that humans could bring an animal back to the place where it had disappeared.In 1987, there were only 27 California condors left, none of which were in the wild, only in captive breeding programs, It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise, enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild.Still, the hope of seeing a California condor, which remains an endangered species, is very low, let alone getting a photo of one. California condor population dropped mostly due to human factors, such as poaching and living areas destruction-these are challenges California condors still face today.Although this is just a bird’s-eye view of the challenges California condors face and thereare many others, it is part of why the opportunity to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team and their partners helping their recovery is so special to me as a photographer. I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas, but also understand and record how difficult the work is of those people on the front lines of the protection.I am grateful for the work of the team, and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here-to look to the sky and see one flying around.16．What helped the increase of the California condor population in 1987?A．Rules for hunters.B．Captive breeding programs.C．The improved natural environment.D．The enlargement of wild living areas. 17．What does the author say about taking photos of a California condor in the wild?A．It is difficult.B．It is easy.C．It is boring.D．It is dangerous. 18．What did the author do when working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team?A．He guided ways for them.B．He made records by photos.C．He helped the birds to recover.D．He rebuilt the birds’ living areas. 19．What is the best title for the text?A．New Way, New Hope B．Wolves and California CondorsC．A Photo of a California Condor D．The California Condor’s Coming BackThose who have a go-getter mentality (心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world. Let’s learn ways on how to achieve a go-getter attitude.20Bite-sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more.Have a clear idea and be intentional (有心的)21 , having detailed goals in mind, writing them down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful. Being intentional is to be willing to try new things and look for solutions. There is no point in doing something if you’re not intentional about what you do.22 , even a small stone in your path will stop you.Look at your mistakes as opportunitiesIt’s also important to look at your mistakes as chances to improve yourself. 23 . If, for example, you work on a project that receives unpleasant comments, use those comments to improve your project and present it again.Find the courage to push yourself towards goalsAllow yourself to be around by active people who believe in and support you, including those who have pushed through challenges and achieved their goals. Take encouragement from them. Also, you can look back and remind yourself of what you’ve already achieved, and don’t undervalue any of them. 24 .A．Follow your interestsB．Set up bite-sized goalsC．They prove you can do itD．Knowing where you want to goE．If you don’t want to achieve somethingF．When you come across people who are successfulG．Learn from them and quickly put the learning into action二、完形填空One day, Fainsilber Katz, who is 60 years old, went to visit her favorite 25 . She parked her car and 26 the beach with everything she 27 for the day: a chair, a beach umbrella, flippers, sunglasses and a cooler.

We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents occur only on the roads or highways, or even at worksites. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people tend to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats. Children often fall from staircases while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet or slippery floors if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances such as rice-cookers, electric irons, and kettles which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way.Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly handled．They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, they may even cause fires.But all such accidents can be prevented if we are careful and obey simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how. It is safer for them to get their faulty appliances by a qualified electrician.21．Accidents take place_______.A．mostly in homes B．mostly on roads and highwaysC．mostly on worksites and factories D．almost everywhere22．People think accidents happen only on the roads or highways because____.A．there are more road accidentsB．many home accidents are not reported in newspapersC．home accidents are not seriousD．such accidents happen nearly every day23．Which of the following is true about the modern electrical appliances?A．They help modern housewives a lot.B．They are very dangerous and should not be used．C．They are usually safe unless they are used carefully.D．They are not dangerous even if they are used carelessly.24．People are advised________.A．to avoid using electrical appliancesB．to repair their own faulty electrical appliancesC．not to repair their own faulty electrical appliancesD．not to throw away their faulty electrical appliancesBThe problem of world overpopulation is a serious one. The United States is one of the most overpopulated countries in the world．There are some people who believe that the only people who should be encouraged to have children are those with money. They feel that the problem to family-planning is more necessary for the poor than for the rich. However, they fail to consider the fact that in terms of polluting the environment and using up the Earth's resources, the industrial nations are much more of a threat(威胁) to the environment than the underdeveloped countries. For example, a single American is responsible for putting more pollutants (污染物质)into the air than 200 Pakistanis (巴基斯坦人) or Indians. Therefore, the idea that countries with smaller populations are less of a drain (消耗)on the Earth than those with larger populations is not necessarily true because we must also consider the problem of industrialization in these countries.25．Some people think only______ should be encouraged to have children.A. the rich B those who work with their brainsC．the poor D．those who live in cities26．Which of the following statements is right?A．Pollution is more serious than overpopulation.B．There are more pollutants in underdeveloped countries than in developed countries.C．The industrial nations use up more of the earth's resources.D．Countries with larger populations use up more of the earth resources.27．The main idea of the passage is that_______.A．the U.S. is the most overpopulated countryB．population growth should also be controlled in industrial countriesC．the U. S. is the only country to be responsible for air pollutionD．laws must be made to improve our environment28．The author thinks that the size of a family_______.A．should not be governed by its income because rich people pollute their environment more than other people doB．should be governed by its income because rich people have enough money to support a large family C．should be governed by its income because poor people only live from hand to mouthD．should be decided by the government of the countryCAll over the world people enjoy sports, Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to livelonger.Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when "their" player or team wins.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for(参加) them. Football, for example, has spread(展开)around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train(培养,训练) a person’s character(性格,品格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(胜不骄，败不馁).29. Why do people all over the world enjoy sports?A. Because they are healthy.B. Because they are happy.C. Because they want to live longer.D. All the above.30. Why do some people get excited when they watch a game? BecauseA. their favourite team winsB. they win the gameC. they get the good newsD. they can’t help themselves31. Which of the sports has a long history?A. Water-skiing.B. Basketball.C. V olleyball.D. Long jump.32. Why do people from different countries often become friends after a game together? Because___________.A. they train their character in the gameB. they understand each otherC. they are friendly to each otherD. they help each otherDGood health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of c offee.The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent (频繁的) drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that,you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.33. The underlined word “innocent”(in Paragraph 2) means ________.A. not having done something wrongB. exciting or cheeringC. not having much experienceD. not expected to cause harm34. This passage is mainly about _______.A. terrible diseases and so onB. enjoying pleasures after a busy dayC. the difficulty of controlling ourselvesD. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating35. “I can’t help myself” means ____________.A. I can’t do it myselfB. I must ask someone to helpC. I can’t control myselfD. Do help me, please第二节: （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。

They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that thefather’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer49. Whose baby would have breathing diseases?A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are bornB.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are bornC.Mother who don’t smoke at allD.Mother whose mother smokes50.

This passage is to __________.A. warn us of the danger of smoking before children.B. warn people with breathing problems not to smoke.C. warn us that mothers who smoke may affect their children’s health.D. warn us that fathers who smoke may affect their children as mothers4.Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn c omes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are c overed up by the green Chlorophyll. Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.52 the underlined word“chlorophyll” in the first Para means_________in Chinese.A 叶绿素B 氧气C 胡萝卜素D 蛋白质53 The way _________is called photosynthesis.A Plants get CO2 from the airB plants take water from the groundC plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.D Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.54 The gas called carbon dioxide is from the_________A groundB rootsC airD sunlight55 Which of the following is not true?A．when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.’C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer.5.In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice.Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers .Most hot lines are completely anonymous ,that is to say , callers do not have to say their names or telephone n umbers. Most hot lines are usually free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short training before starting to work on the hot lines. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems56. A hot line is a telephone line_________A that is hotB through which people get adviceC whose number no one knowsD through which callers take a short training57. the underlined word“anonymous”in the passage means_________in Chinese.A secretB well-knownC exactD wonderful58.
