河北省高一下学期期末英语试卷(含答案）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it’s surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it. It could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn’t allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts are off-limits to photos.Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it is large. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn’t see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again. 1．Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author __________.A．asked others about it B．didn’t think it was largeC．didn’t think it was small D．learned something about it2．What does the underlined word “off-limits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Forbidden. B．Allowed. C．Charged. D．Limited.3．What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text?A．It sits on the top of a hill. B．It is the largest stage all over China. C．Operas are performed there at times. D．It was for royalty to watch performances.4．Which of the following correctly describes the author’s tour?A．She took a boat by herself.B．She spent four hours in the Summer Palace.C．She only toured parts of the Summer Palace.D．She didn’t enjoy the trip because it was too late.Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them? A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving flavor-enhancing cutlery (餐具) like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.The-new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste-bud-stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”The idea is “very creative”, says Paola Almeida, who is the global directorof corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, now we’re saying, “Use this cutlery,” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on”. 5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How the new invention works. B．How a diner feel sweetness.C．How ligands and proteins link. D．How sugar molecules function.6．In what way is the previous flavor-enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware? A．It makes food more delicious. B．It sends out signals to the brain. C．It uses electricity to enhance taste. D．It reduces users’ food consumption. 7．What is Paola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware?A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Critical. D．Concerned. 8．What’s the best title of the text?A．Struggling for Low Sugar? — Try This SpoonB．Looking for Delicious Food? — This is HowC．Working for Commercial Success? — Be CreativeD．Dieting for Better Health? — Mind SweetenersTo wash or not to wash all comes down to the type of haircut you typically get. If you get a dry cut, you’ll want to come to the salon with freshly washed hair.A good way to tell whether a dry cut is needed is by looking at the type of haircut you’re going in for. If it’s just a light trim (修剪), bang touch-up (刘海修饰), or you want to add a little more movement to your hair with layers (but not much length), your stylist may prefer to do a dry cut. This technique is also more common on straight hair looking for more shape compared with curls or waves.If you usually get your hair cut while wet, it’s a different story. “Many stylists will select to wash your hair before cutting since most prefer to cut the hair wet rather than dry.” This is especially true when you are looking to remove (去掉) an inch or more from the ends, or are looking to add a lot more texture and layers. If you fall into this camp, you can likely skip the shampoo before headingto the salon.It’s a little different if you’re heading to the salon for a hair-color appointment and not a haircut. You’ll want clean, dry hair for this type of appointment. “Make sure when showing up for a color application that the hair is dry as well so that the stylist can properly assess your needs and apply the color,”said Rivera.It’s also helpful to know that you don’t have to wait to wash your hair again after dyeing it to “set” the color, like many people think. You can go ahead and wash it whenever you’d like and the color should stay intact (完好无损), provided you’re using the right color-preserving hair products.For a hairstyling appointment — whether it be for a big event, wedding, or graduation — you’ll want to show up with hair that’s clean, but not too clean. “Often, with updos (盘发), washing the hair the day before is best because it allows you to come to the salon with completely dry hair that is ready to style,” said Rivera.Second-day hair is easier to work with and holds a style better, but if you end up showering before the appointment, that’s OK —stylists can always use texturizing spray to give the hair some grit.9．When can people go to the salon to get a dry cut according to the text? A．When they want to have their hair curled.B．When they want to straighten their curly hair.C．When they don’t want to make big hairstyle changes.D．When they have the habit of washing their hair daily.10．Which of the following practices actually is unnecessary?A．Applying products that protect hair.B．Going to the barber to colour your hair.C．Washing your hair immediately after colouring it.D．Washing your hair after a period of colouring it.11．What does Rivera suggest people do?A．Style their hair for important occasions.B．Colour their hair as little as possible.C．Wash hair before they go to get it styled.D．Take a bath before going to style hair.12．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．You’d Better Wash Your Hair Before a HaircutB．Should You Wash Your Hair Before a Haircut?C．Which is Better, a Dry Cut or a Wet Cut?D．Should You Wash Your Hair Immediately after Colouring It?The planet’s climate has been changing over thousands of years. The average global temperature today is about 15℃. Scientists are worried that the planet is warming faster than ever before. The 20 warmest years on record have been in the past 22 years, according to the World Meteorological Organization(WMO). If this situation continues, temperatures may rise by 3℃-5℃ by 2100.Scientists say we should try and stop this and not allow the average global temperature to rise by more than 1.5℃. Even a 2℃ rise will be bad for us all. Now, half a degree doesn’t sound like much, but it could make a big difference to the planet. A 2℃ rise will mean that all the coral reefs(珊瑚礁) will disappear, but a 1.5℃ rise means that there will still be some. Also, 18 percent of the insects on Earth will disappear if the temperature goes up by 2℃, compared to 6 percent disappearing at a 1.5℃ rise. Thirty-seven percent of people will be affected by dangerous heatwaves at a 2℃ rise. That’s twice the number compared to at a 1.5℃rise.So, what can we do? Scientists say that carbon(碳) will have to be taken out of the air by machines and stored underground and that these devices already exist. They also say that billions of trees will have to be planted. People should buy less meat. Of all the foods we eat, beef has the biggest effect on climate change because it produces a high amount of greenhouse gases to raise cows. Also, someone suggested not buying new clothes too often, because the fashion industry is a major source of the greenhouse gases that are overheating the planet. And, of course, usetransport that doesn’t bur fossil fuels(化石燃料), like electric cars. It’s also better to walk or ride a bike.13．Why did the author mention the warmest records?A．To explain the role which the WMO plays.B．To give an example for the global warming.C．To show the latest information taken from the WMO.D．To express his worries about climate change.14．What if the average global temperature rises by 2℃?A．All the coral reefs will not survive.B．About 6 percent of the insects will die.C．Nearly 40 percent of people will suffer.D．The Earth will be too hot to live on.15．Which of the following disagrees with the scientists’ advice?A．Growing green plants. B．Eating more beef.C．Cutting back on clothing. D．Going to school on foot.16．What can be the best title for the text?A．Even Half a Degree MattersB．The Planet’s Climate Is ChangingC．Worries about the EnvironmentD．The Average Global Temperature二、七选五Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding(有回报的). They are becoming young adults. Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts(爆that may create positive(积极的) experiences for teens and parents.Have meals together. Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 18 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.19 As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder tofind time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance. Remember that no matter how big their problems seem, what most teens want is love and support. Help them connect with their families and communities. During these years, help teens learn that their words and actions mater. 20 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home. Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activity.Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy? Playing chess? Goingto the ballet? Volunteering in your community? Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused onlyon what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too. 21A．Talk with your teen.B．Never try to control your child.C．Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe.D．Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.E．This can be hard to do with busy schedules, but it is important.F．Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.G．But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times. 三、完形填空Suhana has a sister, Shahrine, who is older by 18 months.
