福建省福州市八县（市、区）一中2022-2023学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解All parents know exercise is important for children: It can lower heart risks, control weight and help kids do better in school. Scientists have also proved that outdoor activities at an early age can help children form healthy habits for life. But don’t expect kids to understand about those things. Some kids just aren’t into exercise, but that shouldn’t mean they have to be attracted to the TV. So parents could do something to help inactive kids fall in love with physical activity.If parents sit in front of the TV every night, kids aren’t likely to respect restrictions (限制) you set on their screen time either. So check your own behavior and serve as a role model by putting physical activity into your everyday life. Walk instead of driving if possible. Regularly join in activities that you enjoy and let your kids see how much you enjoy them. In this way, they may “do as the Romans do”. Make sure that children’s fitness is included in the family plans as well as school, work and shopping. Then you and your children are more likely to stick to an exercise plan. And your children will begin to expect that Sunday morning usually means a hike ride, and on a couple of nights after dinner the family takes a light walk through the neighborhood.Children who aren’t naturally good at physical activity may be worried about their lack of physical skills and even fear public failure. They need all the support and encouragement from parents. Negative comments don’t work and will only make them feel bad. Remember, fix on the effort — choosing to be active or trying to improve a skill — rather than the result. 1．What’s the second paragraph mainly about ?A．How parents can lead children to exercise.B．Why children should enjoy exercise. C．What activity parents can join in.D．When parents can watch TV. 2．Which is not helpful for children to enjoy physical activity ?A．Good examples set by parents for children.B．A family routine of exercise. C．Support and encouragement from parents.D．Negative comments from parents. 3．What does the text tell us ?A．It is the result that always comes first.B．Kids can choose either exercise or the TV.C．Exercise is necessary for healthy development.D．Children having few physical skills should be punished.4．How can we describe the author’s attitude to children’s enjoying exercise? A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Opposed.D．Unconcerned. 5．From which is the text probably taken ?A．An advertisement.B．A news report.C．A magazine.D．A science book.A 17-year-old pilot has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.Rutherford also became the youngest person to fly around the world in an ultralight (超轻型的) plane. His sister, Zara, finished her own around-the-world flight in January at age 19. Until Wednesday, she held the ultralight record. Zara also set the record as the youngest woman to fly alone around the world. His trip, which began March 23, took Rutherford through 52 countries across five continents. To set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records, he crossed the equator (赤道) twice.Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s license in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15. His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel container.Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of several barriers, including rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada,and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.His sister, Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight. “While he was flying, I constantly tried to keep in touch and help him,” she said. “Our parents called him every day, and I joined in those conversations. I gave him advice on the route, on the flight, so that I could be useful to him.”6．How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his trip?A．16 years old.B．17 years old.C．18 years old.D．19 years old. 7．For what purpose was the plane changed before the flight?A．A faster speed.B．A lighter weight.C．A longer flying time.D．An extra seat. 8．Which is not the reason why Mack Rutherford couldn’t complete his flight in expected period?A．The permits from some countries.B．Some documents required for keeping with the flight plan.C．The extreme weather conditions.D．The shortage of fuel.9．Which is the right order of continents for Mack Rutherford to get through during his flight? A．Africa, Asia, South America, North America, Europe.B．Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, South America.C．Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, North America.D．Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa.10．What does the underlined word “documents” mean?A．A personal flight ticket that allows a trip.B．An official paper that gives information about something.C．A commercial letter about a business activity.D．A legal license for a pilot.Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students incountries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC．“Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.11．What do we know about math anxiety?A．It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.B．It is most commonly seen among teenagers.C．People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.D．Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.12．What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply?A．Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.B．Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.C．Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.D．Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.13．How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?A．Practice more before you take math exams.B．Learn to understand your feelings.C．Ask cognitive experts for help.D．Take all nervous energy as a challenge.14．Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?A．To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.B．To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.C．To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.D．To show that math definitely isn’t easy.15．For whom is the text written?A．students wishing to learn MathsB．students wishing to take Maths testC．students feeling anxious about MathsD．students wishing to achieve good marks in Maths二、七选五西米亚狂想曲》), which is named after their most famous song, tells the story of the band’s rise to fame — as well as the early death of the band’s lead singer.____17____ One of the biggest reasons is the influence they had on bands that came after them. Their sound was quite unique for their time, as their music was heavily influenced by classical music. Their guitarist, Brian May, was known for his powerful and elegant style of playing. He used a special guitar amplifier (音箱) to record his playing. ____18____But it was their singer, Freddie Mercury, who really made the band stand out. He is known as one of the greatest rock singers in history. His style of singing was clean and melodic (旋律优美的) while still being very powerful.____19____ If you look online, you can find videos of Mercury performing in front of huge crowds — tens of thousands of people, at times. And yet, everyone there felt like Mercury was paying attention to them personally. He really connected with his fans. His confidence and charm have not been matched by any singer since him. When Mercury was performing, he owned the stage.Sadly, Mercury died at the age of 45. ____20____A．The film made a great hit around the world.B．Many singers learned singing skills from Mercury.C．But it was his onstage performances that really moved people.D．They’re one of the most famous and important rock bands in history.E．Why was Queen so important?F．It gave his guitar a very unique sound.G．But he has continued to inspire singers to this day.三、完形填空Yesterday, I went to the bookstore to pick up a present for my mother’s birthday. I found21．A．pay B．discount C．fold D．pack 22．A．achieve B．order C．receive D．apply 23．A．nearby B．next to C．at random D．in line 24．A．purchases B．products C．cards D．presents 25．A．see B．go C．put D．pull 26．A．brief B．anxious C．confidential D．friendly 27．A．sent B．placed C．signed D．delivered 28．A．use B．count C．work D．account 29．A．left B．abandoned C．applied D．sold 30．A．interrupted B．repeated C．smiled D．evaluated 31．A．turned down B．turned around C．turned up D．turned in 32．A．calm B．relieved C．fearful D．surprised 33．A．gift B．book C．attitude D．patience 34．A．appreciated B．rewarded C．stimulated D．reminded 35．A．potentially B．necessarily C．frequently D．definitely四、用单词的适当形式完成短文model any more.”五、单词释义六、选用适当的单词或短语补全句子根据语境，选择下框中的单词或短语，必要时用正确的形式填空。

福建省福州市福九联盟2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Teenage life around the worldAshaI’m from Tanzania. Like most teenagers, I start my day early and end it late. After school, I study at a night school to prepare for the university entrance exam. When I have time off, I prefer to be outdoors. I love nature and animals. I’m quite upset about how we treat the environment, so I do my best to help. I volunteer to plant trees and I’m a member of our school’s Nature Club.SamikaI’m 15. I wish I were a student, but I’m not. I had to leave school when I was 13 so that I could get a job and help my family. I work in a garment factory. It’s unbelievably hard work and the days are so long. Although everyone works hard, we still find time to play and laugh together. At times like these, the world feels like a wonderful place.FriederI’m 16 and I go to a high school in Munich. I’m not crazy about school — listening to a teacher isn’t my thing — but I know I have to get an education. It’s very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe, so I worry a lot about the future. Oh, and I’m a gaming nerd. I love the Internet games so much.JoeI’m a student from London. The online world is a big part of my life. I’ve been using the computer since I was a kid. I do various things online. Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with friends, play computer games, watch films, read the daily news and shop online. My parents are worried. They keep telling me to drag myself away from the online world.1．What does Asha care about most?A．School life.B．Exams.C．The environment.D．Outdoor activities.2．Which of the following can best describe Samika?A．Her life is hard but she is happy.B．She is poor but can afford school.C．She is out of job and stressful.D．She is out of school and annoyed.3．What do Frieder and Joe have in common?A．They worry about their future.B．They are addicted to the Internet.C．They prefer to make friends online.D．They attend the computer club at school. 4．What does the underlined word “a gaming nerd” probably mean?A．A person who is a master in computer games.B．A person who finds computer games awkward.C．A person who gets high grades in games.D．A person who is attracted to computer games.5．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Teenagers around the world have different interests.B．Teenagers face different challenges and have different lives.C．Going to school is important for teenagers.D．Teenagers’ lives in some countries are hard.Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun.Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. Thisimproves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.6．When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll ______.A．have as many shots as possible B．improve your volleyball skillsC．be responsible for more ground D．feel light-hearted while playing7．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand.B．Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength.C．A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand.D．The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball.8．Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball?A．Because it is not easy to move on sand.B．Because beach volleyball has a larger court.C．Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger.D．Because it is a workout running for the ball.9．What does the author think of beach volleyball?A．It’s a difficult sport.B．It’s an exciting and interesting sport.C．It’s a sport which only a few people love.D．It’s a sport which needs few skills.10．The passage mainly tells us ______.A．the game of beach volleyballB．how to play beach volleyball wellC．how to become a good beach volleyball playerD．why beach volleyball is one of the exciting sportsIt’s common to hear that being “emotional” is opposite from being “rational (理性的)”. Formany people, there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However, some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite.We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore (忽略) emotions. Instead, they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are.For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But, if I instead want them to stay focused on homework, then it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can’t be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information.Anticipating others’ emotions may help us be more effective leaders — allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example, if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech, I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety, chances are that I’d be more disturbed on stage, and my speech wouldn’t go smoothly.Of course, it’s important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here, individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don’t get an promotion (晋升) may not be in your best interest.In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we can get — and information about emotions can often be especially useful. 11．What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality?A．Rationality can develop emotional intelligence.B．Emotions help to make rational decisions.C．They play opposite roles in thinking processes.D．Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making.12．Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3?A．To show the process of decision-making.B．To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions.C．To draw the line between rationality and emotions.D．To show the importance of emotional information.13．What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5?A．Recognizing their usefulness.B．Reflecting on the possible effect.C．Completing the rationality tests.D．Thinking about various situations. 14．What does the author suggest for making wise decisions?A．Gaining enough information.B．Putting rationality at the first place.C．Trusting direct feelings.D．Seeking expert advice.15．What is the best title for this passage?A．How to Control Emotions for Better Decision-MakingB．The Role of Emotions in Effective LeadershipC．Why Ignoring Emotions Leads to Smarter DecisionsD．Balancing Emotional and Rational Thinking in Decision-MakingWith exam pressures and anxiety at an all-time high, study stress can become a daily struggle as early as middle school. 16 Here are four helpful ways to get through your high school years with less stress.Lower your goals. No, we’re not talking about being a slacker (偷懒的人). Following the truism “Lower your goals, you’ll achieve more” can help to reduce stress and boost academic success. 17Take time for self-care. You have to give your body the means to deal with stress, and that includes healthy food, non-harmful substances, sleep, down time and so on. 18 Taking time to rest from the endless pace of everyday life and enjoy creative activities can go far in decreasing your stress levels.19 You can divide your work into small parts that feel less difficult than looking at the big picture. If you have a paper to write that’s making you feel anxious, list each step that lead to the destination of the paper being finished, and the task will begin to feel less challenging.Stay balanced during exam periods. 20 No matter how hard you push yourself, nobody can keep mind focused, and you will burn yourself out. Take short breaks for fun activities that you’ll be able to go back to your writing or studying refreshed.A．Learn to change your thinking.B．Take tasks one baby step at a time.C．Fear creates and increases amounts of stress.D．Those are some basic and almost biological needs we have.E．Instead of aiming for the highest grade, aim to be satisfied with your performance.F．Such pressure can break you down if you don’t learn how to deal with it properly.G．The value of taking breaks to relax during your busiest periods should be treasured.二、完形填空It was a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. 21 to spend some time outdoors, I went up the mountain with Uncle Jimmy. The mountain was not easy to climb and had tough rocks and streams on it. In the end, tired and hot, I couldn’t go any further. 22 , we went back down the mountain in the end. On the way back down, Uncle Jimmy asked me a question, which 23 me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream, young lady?” “I have no idea”,I answered after thinking for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his 24 . He didn’t25 well at school when he was a student. Although 26 thought he could succeed, he knew 27 that his dream was to be a 28 . “I knew I wasn’t 29 when it came to studying, so I tried to buy snacks from a nearby market and sell them after class,” he told me. After he left school, he started selling different goods to 30 which one was most attractive to customers. Of course, he often had no money in his pocket, but however challenging life was, he never gave up.“There is no doubt that a person who puts in a great deal of 31 to reach his or her goal will have good luck at some point. The meaning of life is to 32 your dream,” he said in a gentle voice.That night I could not fall asleep. With my eyes wide open, I lay in bed tossing and turning asking myself, “What’s my motivation?” I wanted to be a top student, but the hard work meantputting everything into following my passion. If I find myself 33 willpower, what should I do? Leaving home early the next morning, I climbed the mountain again all by myself. It made me think: if we don’t experience the climb, how can we get to enjoy the scenery on the top of the mountain? At last, I reached the top and was 34 by the warm breeze and sunshine. Nothing could be more 35 than that.21．A．Concerned B．Eager C．Satisfied D．Unwilling 22．A．Therefore B．However C．Meanwhile D．Furthermore 23．A．left B．caused C．pushed D．brought 24．A．career B．story C．idea D．confusion 25．A．behave B．revise C．perform D．impress 26．A．somebody B．everybody C．nobody D．anybody 27．A．rapidly B．directly C．shortly D．clearly 28．A．worker B．officer C．deliveryman D．businessman 29．A．skilled B．gifted C．graceful D．knowledgeable 30．A．check out B．take out C．work out D．give out 31．A．talent B．pressure C．effort D．source 32．A．follow B．change C．make D．control 33．A．requesting B．sharing C．lacking D．holding 34．A．shocked B．focused C．honored D．greeted 35．A．unexpected B．pleasant C．relaxing D．challenging三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Then I married and had a child In those days, I didn't have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time.

Entertainment news.BI travel a lot,and I find out different "styles" of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office？"Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names.In Japan,people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,"Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest,there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains,so the land is very flat.In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa,for example,people will say,"Go north two miles.Turn east,and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on the map.They measure distance in time,not miles. "How far away is the post office？" you ask. "Oh," they answer,"it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes,but how many miles is it？" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say,"Sorry,I have no idea." But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers "I don't know".People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A tourist can get very,very lostin Yucatan!4.

People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______ .A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun7. What can we infer from the text？______A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understanding of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CWe have heard some interesting ways that 5 G wireless technology might change our lives in the future.5 G，short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology，promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems.While 5 G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year，much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.One project in Britain，however，is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users-cows.The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. also receives money from the British government.Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5 G connectivity in rural areas around the world.Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England.The cows are equipped with 5 G-connected devices（装置）that link up to a robotic milking system，which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process.System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate.The device is designed to recognize each individual cow.It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking.During the process，machines release food for the cow as a reward.Other 5 G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them.Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows' living areas depending on the weather.And，an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.Duncan Forbes，head of the project，told Reuters that the project shows the farm's cow operations can be greatly improved with 5 G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5 G technology can be widely used in the future，not just on farms in Britain，but in rural communities across the world.8. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems' program？______A. To win financial support from British government.B. To test the effects of 5 G technology on animals.C. To promote its technological development in Britain.D. To expand the future use of 5 G in rural communities.9. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. The project.B. The company.C. The technology.D. The group.10. What can we learn about 5 G according to the text？______A. It is no worse than 4 G in terms of speed.B. It is already widely available in the world.C.

Education.D. Technology.DThe British love their supermarkets.And there are more and more of them every year.But is this a good thing？Not necessarily.For a start，supermarkets have a negative effect on local communities.Money spent in independent small shops usually stays in the area.However，money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders（股东），some of whom don't even pay any tax（税）in the UK!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare（福利、关心）.The UK has high standards in this field，but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad.And in many cases，this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal （违法的）in the UK.But once they've got the meat，supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there.Dishonest？Not exactly，but it isn't entirely true either! Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too.Many of them don't store food products themselves as storage space is expensive，so they get food producers to do it for them.This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies.In turn，this increases the amount of petrol used，which leads to more pollution.In fact，the average item of food from a supermarket travels over 1，000 kilometres.Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging，which isn't good for the environment either.So，what can be done to help the small shops？Not much really.Supermarkets have a lot of power.Many political parties（政党）receive donations from supermarkets and supermarkets often use theirmoney to influence decisions.For example，just before the millennium （the year 2000），one supermarket gave the government 12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in ter，plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.Supermarkets are good news for shoppers looking for a bargain，but they're definitely bad for local business，animals and the environment!12.
