If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a "doggie bag". It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you're taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have "Sunday dinner". This is an especially big noon meal. Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.( ) 10. Which statement is TRUE?A. American people like sitting with people they don't know.B. Americans prefer smoking to tap water at the restaurants.C. Bread and butter and coffee are free at American restaurants.D. American people usually will not smoke unless they ask for permission.( )11. Sunday dinner is_______.A. a dinner in the eveningB. A big noon mealC. a big lunch on SundayD. A supper on Sunday( ) 12.What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?A. They leave the food on the table and go away.B. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food.C. They take the food home with a "doggie bag" for their dogs.D. They take the food home with a "doggie bag" and enjoy the food later.. 4、The Nobel Prize was founded by Alfred Nobel.Since 1901，it has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics，chemistry，medicine，literature，and for work in peace.Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm，Sweden，on October 21，1833.He was very interested in social and peacerelated issues.After inventing dynamite (炸药)，Swedishborn Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.However，he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late.Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite，so in 1895，just two weeks before his death，he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind.Originally there were five awards: literature，physics，chemistry，medicine，and peace.Economics was added in 1968，just sixtyseven years after the first award ceremony.Nobel's original legacy (遗产)of nine million dollars was invested，and the interest on this sum is used for the awards，which vary from D|S30，000 to D|S125，000.Every year on December 10，the anniversary of Nobel's death，the awards (gold medal，illuminated diploma，and money)are presented to the winners.Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judge'sdecision.Americans have won numerous science awards，but relatively few literature (文学)prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ.Some people have won two prizes，but this is rare；others have shared prizes.( )13．Why was the Nobel Prize established?A．To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.B．To resolve political differences.C．To honor the inventor of dynamite.D．To spend money.( )14．In which area have Americans received the most awards?A．Literature B．Peace. C．Economics. D．Science.( )15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Awards vary in monetary value.B．Ceremonies are held one December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention. C．Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.D．A few individuals have won two awards.5、 How to Become a Top StudentSuccessful students use different techniques(技巧)to study，which brings them more success. 16 Here are the four techniques almost all top-performing students use.They are regular.Almost all successful students study regularly，because they know “what you give is what you get”．If you put in regular hours of studying，then you will learn more and get better grades. 17 This will help you to study regularly.They have clear goals.All topperforming students have definite，specific goals. 18 They motivate(激发)you and drive you to study more.But make sure that you do not get carried away.Set realistic goals which can challenge(挑战)you，but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve.They study without pressure(压力)．Successful students study a lot.But they study without putting strain on themselves.Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 19 Studying should be done in a balanced manner.Take a break for a few minutes，afterstudying for 30 or 45 minutes.Relax，walk around your room or house，or drink some water and return to studying.Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.20 Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it.It's actually very important for you.Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life.It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money.And successful students recognize the value of studying well.A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory.B．But to score grade A in English，you should make wellplanned efforts.C．Set aside some hours，each day or each week，for studying.D．Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better.AB．Learn their techniques，and you will also join their rank.AC．They finish their homework on time.AD．They give importance to study. 6、Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.

第二部分阅读理解（本大题共 2 节，共 40 分）第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，共 30 分）A1.With the Chinese language growing in popularity,the U.K. government plans to invest (投资) 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin (普通话). Do you think it is necessary for the U.K. pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.Tsd (U.K.): The learning of any language can be valuable and rewarding, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the U.K. has a poor reputation for teaching foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?Mark (U.S.): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn't speak English. But it is far from being fluent. learning additional languages is a great thing,which offers a different perspective on the world around us. Nowadays, it's almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your native tongue.George (U.K.): No,unless they're taught from a very early stage of childhood.Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to dominate the world, it'll have to do so by speaking the world's dominant language—English.Sam (U.K.): I don't think Chinese will become as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too difficult to learn as a second language,To learn Chinese you completely have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. If you have to learn it besides other subjects you can't be good at it. But Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.(1) What is probably Mark's main motivation (动机) for learning Chinese?________A. Further education.B. Effective communication.C. His frequent travel.D. The official policy.(2) What does Sam think of learning Chinese?________A. It's necessary.B. It's of little use.C. It takes too much time.D. It's not popular.(3) What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try to learn Chinese?________A. Its difficulty as a language.B. Misunderstanding about China.C. The great popularity of English.D. A lack of learning resources.B2.Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20000 people who dug gold, 4000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chiefindustry of Dawson City—it’s present population is 762.(1) What attracted the early settlers to New York City?________A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favorable climate.(2) What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?________A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.(3) What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?________A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winterD. They were short of food.(4) What is the text mainly about?________A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.C3.Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real"and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.(1) Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?________A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.(2) What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?________A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.(3) What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?________A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.(4) What is the best title for the text?________A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksD4.Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be boring. This can be especially true of children. They may feel cut off from their friends and classmates. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot.The robot is called Avatarl (AV1). It takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in classes from wherever they are recovering. And the children's school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on their desks.A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. There are another two co-founders: Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel.Dolva explains how the robot works. She says from home the child uses an iPad or a phone to start the robot, control the robot's movements with touch, and talk through it. The child can take part in classroom activities. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. So it's the eyes and the ears and the voice of the child atschool. Inside AVI is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same.AV1 was designed to be tough. It won't allow water to pass through it and can take a fall from a desk without damage. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says it can't be just a tiny camera because the other kids can't pick it up and take it with them. This is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.(1) What is the passage mainly about?________A. The robot has been used widely in many fields.B. The robot can make friends with sick children.C. The robot will take sick children to take part in classes.D.

2020年高一英语下学期期末试卷(有答案)
AThe world has lost one of its brightest stars. British physicist Stephen Hawking died on March 14,at the age of 76.Hawking is probably the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has devoted his whole life to digging into the beginning (and the end)of the universe."My goal is simple,” Hawking once said."It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all."Hawkins’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).Later he sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moved two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He selected his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器）.“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said."Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."Though Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work during his lifetime. This included winning the Albert Einstein Award, which stands for the highest achievement in theoretical physics.Despite the fact that he's no longer with us, his legacy will surely live on As Sajid Javid,a UK，government minister, put it, “A brief history on Earth; an eternity in the stars."21.From text we can learn________.A. Hawking is more famous than EinsteinB. Hawking is less famous than EinsteinC. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famousD. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous22.What does the underlined pronoun "it” in the second paragraph stand for?A. The universe.B. The earth.C. The goal.D. The black hole.23.According to the text, which of the following statements is the fact?A. Hawking received many awards and prizes except the Albert Einstein Award.B. The illness kept him from moving and talking.C. He communicated with others by speaking.D. The illness stopped him from being successfulBBelow is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red, why are veins(静脉）blue?Actually, reins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when it's outside the body, when it's sitting in a-vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more f a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.Which works harder, your heart or your brain?That kind of depends on whether you are busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run four brain probably tips it, because even when you'resitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes Tour to five times as much blood to feed it.Do old people shrink as they age?shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱）becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects, of gravity(重力).Many(but not all)men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don't really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards- their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it's because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bait and curved.Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?Because your brain gets confused between what you're seeing and what you're feeling. The brain senses that you're spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you're moving while you're not!Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area-from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain an pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex, emotions than any other animal on the planet.If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned，it’s “use it, or lose it"! It's not that exercise makes you healthy; it's more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.24. What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?A. BlueB. Light yellowC. RedD. Dark reddish purple25. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?A. Because their spine is in active use.B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity.C. Because they keep growing backwards.D. Because their spine becomes more bent.26. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart.B. When our brain senses the spinning, we will fell dizzy.C. The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.D. Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.27. What is the main purpose of the selection?A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.B. To provide information about our body.C. To challenge new findings in medical research.D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.Companies BestShine United(Madison, Wisconsin)In the past five years, this Wisconsin-based advertising agency has shared more than $500 in profits, with its employees through the company's ShineShares program. The agency partnered with the university of Wisconsin's oncology department to develop the Ride, a biking event that benefits cancer research .Employees also get snacks every day," Beer Thirty" on Thursdays, and, Summer Fridays, a program that lets employees leave at noon.GroundFloor Media(Denver, Colorado)The key for workers at this midsize public relations firm in. Denver is that employees work anytime, anywhere Headquarters are in a former warehouse downtown, near Coors Field.

They have training programs.Traffic jam and cities, it seems, go hand in hand Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic, but, like the weather, no-one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are, frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam.But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long lines at restaurants or theater' box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful- cities, and view the "traffic problem” in a different light.Traffic jam occurs Where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems while decaying cities don't have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America's most crowded cities. But if you want access to, major brokerage houses(经纪）,you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in, any other large cities. And if your company needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social communications and economic dealings can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate result of success, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay.So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility in uncrowned places are almost certainly greater.There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility (移动性) is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That's why, for now, we don't see people and capital streaming of out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for other cities in California, and Illinois.32.We can conclude from the first paragraph that________.A. traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of he big cityB. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withC. if traffic engineers are their beat, traffic jam can be solvedD. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power33.According the passage, what's the author's opinion towards traffic jam?A. In traffic jam is unavoidable.B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities.D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable.34.By saying "decaying"(in Para.3), the writer probably means_______.A. strong and healthyB. developingC. rich and successfulD. declining35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US.B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in-the capital becoming empty.C. Traffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and LagosD. California is as crowded and successful as San Francisco.第二节（共5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的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
