2019-2020学年江苏省南通市高一(上)期中英语试卷
2019-2020学年江苏省南通市高一（上）期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AAre you getting enough protein (蛋白质)? The question provides its own answer: If you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating morethan enough.You merely need to visit a western supermarket today to see that many people regard protein as some kind of excellent medicine—one food companies are profitably adding to anything they can. "When the Box says 'Protein', Shoppers say 'I'll take it'" was the headline ofa 2013 article in The Wall Street Journal.The intensity of our protein obsession can only be understood as part of a wider series of diet battles that go back half a century. If we now thirst for protein as if it were water, it may be because the other two macronutrients—fats and carbohydrates—have each in turn been made to seem poisonous (有毒的) in the public mind.In the current nutrition wars, protein has emerged as the last macronutrient left standing. David L. Katz, an American doctor and public health scholar who is the director of theYale-Griffin Prevention Research Center said, "First they told us to cut fat. But instead ofwhole grains and lentils, we ate low-fat junk food." Then food marketers heard the message about cutting carbohydrates and sold us protein-enriched junk foods instead.For decades now, there has been a tendency to think about what we eat and drink in terms of nutrients, rather than read whole ingredients in all their complexity. A combination of diet fads and clever marketing has got us here. It doesn't matter whether we fixate on "low fat" or "low carbohydrates" or "high protein" —we are making the same old mistakes about nutrition in a new form.1.How does the author begin the article?A. By raising a question.B. By giving an assumption.C. By describing a phenomenon.D. By illustrating a typical case.2.How many kinds of macronutrients does food provide us with according to paragraph 3?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.3.What is the author's attitude towards protein according to the text?A. Cold.B. Crazy.C. Sensible.D. Critical.BImagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older people company and helps them remember to take their medicine．That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence，Rhode Island．The researchersreceived a ﹩3-million-dollar from the National Science Foundation for a special project．Theywant to find ways to add artificial intelligence，or AI，to Hasbro's "Joy for All" robotic cat．The cat has already been for sale for two years．Though priced at over 1，000 dollars，it sold quite well．It was meant to act as a "companion"（陪伴）for older people．Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat．Researchers are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most．They hope to make the cat perform a smallnumber of activities very well．Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the older people to take medicine or visit their doctor．They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars．It is an idea that has appealed （有吸引力）to Jeanne Elliott．Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown．Derr has dementia （痴呆）．The Joy for All cat that Elliot bought this year has become a true companion for Derr．The cat stays with Derr and keeps her relaxed while Elliott is at work．Elliot said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater．The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate．They say that they do not want a talking cat，however．Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message．In the end，they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them．By doing so，the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people．4.What's the purpose of the project？______A. To reduce the pain of the elderly．B. To increase the sales of a medicine．C. To help make the robotic cat smarter．D. To invent a robotic cat for the elderly．5.What can we know about the cat？______A. It will be on sale in two years．B. It may be cheaper in the future．C. Its abilities will be made simpler for the elderly．D. It can tell the activities that older adults need the most．6.What does the example in Paragraph 3 show？______A. The cat gives much help to the elderly．B. The cat works well to talk with the patient．C. The cat can make the dementia patient less painful．D. The cat should be designed to satisfy patients' need．7.What can we infer from the last paragraph？______A. Each family can afford such a cat in the future．B. A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly．C. Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable．D. The feeling of being needed is important to the elderly．CIn 2013 Tallinn（爱沙尼亚首都塔林）became the world's first capital city to offer people free public transport．Last year Estonia（爱沙尼亚）set the aim to become the first country with free public transport nationwide．Buses are now free of charge in 11 of its 15 counties．Tallinn's city government came up with the idea of free transport in 2008．Even though the city paid more than 70% of public-transport costs，ticket prices were still too high for poorer people．Crowdedness had also become a problem．Since 1991，the number of people owning cars has doubled．Opponents（反对者）thought the idea unaffordable and critics（批评者）predicted the transport system would become overcrowded and lack money．Surprisingly，public transport has improved，despite a ?12 million hit to the system's finances from lost ticket sales．Tallinn's population has grown，leading to an increase in local tax intake．Additional revenue（财政收入）comes from tourists，who still have to buytickets．The use of public transport in Tallinn has gone up by 10%，while the number of cars in the city has gone down by 10%，meaning less congestion．Now other countries are looking at Estonia's experience．Tallinn officials say they have had interest from France，Sweden，Poland，Italy and Germany．Other places have already introduced free public transport for certain groups or at certain times．In England 1/3 of all bus trips are fare-free especially for pensioners（领养老金者）；Wales runs free travel at weekends to improve tourism．But so far full fare-free travel is rare．The city of Hasselt in Belgium ran free public transport for 16 years before reintroducing fares because of increasing costs．8.Which of the following places offers full fare-free public transport？______A. HasseltB. EstoniaC. WalesD. Tallinn9.What idea did the opponents and critics share about Tallinn's free public transport？______A. The government wouldn't have enough money to carry it out．B. It wouldn't help with the city's over crowdedness．C. It would lead to the heavy loss from ticket sales．D. Years later the city would reintroduce fares from people．10.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean？______A. pollutionB. populationC. crowdednessD. income11.Why do you think so many countries show interest in Estonia's experience？______A. It offers more job opportunities for people．B. It helps to solve the traffic problem in cities．C. It encourages people to stop driving．D. It attracts more tourists to take buses．DAn increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to （归因于）the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works．Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January，according to UCAS，the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service．A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up．Professor John Beath，the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University，said his first-year lectures --- which are open to students from all departments --- were drawing crowds of 400，rather than the usual 250．"There are a large number of students who are not economics majors （专业），who would like to learn something about it．One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done．" He said．University applications rose by 7% last year，but there were rises above average in several subjects．Nursing saw a 15% jump，with people's renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector （部门），which are seen as more secure in economic crisis．A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters，and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on，although a minority （少数）of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain．Zack Hocking，the head of Child Trust Funds，said，"It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn （低迷）will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty．"12.Professor John Beath's lectures are ______ ．A. given in a traditional wayB. warmly received by economicsC. connected with the present situationD. open to both students and their parents13.Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their ______ ．A. higher payB. greater stability （稳定）C. fewer applicationsD. better reputation （名声）14.In the opinion of most parents，______ ．A. economics should be the focus of school teachingB. more students should be admitted to universitiesC. children should solve financial problems themselvesD. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened15.What's the main idea of the text？______A. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students．B. Universities have received more applications．C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty．D. Parents are concerned with children's subject selection．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）High school can be quite the stressful time for any student. There are numerous stresses to deal with and the pressure can be more intense as you enter your senior year. (1) The answer is as follows.(2) Adjust your approach to your specific situation. For instance, if you're active in your community and your school and have a large family, you may feel depressed by having all these people involved in your life on a daily basis. (3) You just may need a moment to be alone and collect your thoughts before moving on to the challenges that face you.(4) If your stress persists and you can't figure out a way to handle it, you may want to try speaking to your school counselor (顾问). If you don't feel comfortable speaking to your counselor, try getting some other types of counseling.Realize your limits, and plan around them. Don't take on more than you can handle. If you take on too many things, you will be spread too thin and won't be able to perform at your best in anything. (5) You will definitely feel more at ease!A．Seek professional counseling.B．Why does the stress come into being?C．Try thinking of alternative ways to deal with stress.D．When you feel relieved, you can have a happier life.E．Taking some time out to be alone may be the best way to handle such stress.F．But how on earth can you reduce some of the stress?G．Evaluate what tasks and activities are most important and leave others behind.16.

2023-2024学年江苏省南通市崇川区、通州区高一上学期11月期中考试英语试题
2023-2024学年江苏省南通市崇川区、通州区高一上学期11月期中考试英语试题Some live performance rooms on this planet are wonderful. They can make even a single note sound wonderful. Here are four famous concert halls around the world. Enjoy!Cidade das Artes (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)Opened in 2013, this is one of the largest modern concert halls in South America. This building was designed by Christian de Portzampare. Named “City of Arts”, this is a cultural building g roup that hosts art exhibitions, dance events, comedy shows and workshops. The Cidade has excellent sound qualities as a result of being designed by the Chinese engineer XuYaping.Wiener Musikverein (Vienna Austria)Designed by Theophil Hansen, this neoclassical building opened its doors in 1870 and is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the most popular orchestras (交响乐团) in the world. It was here in 1913 that the famous concert Skandalkonzert took place. This is also the place where every New Year’s day a famous traditional symphonic concert is performed.Teatro all a Scala (Milan, Italy)One of the most important concert halls for operatic music was completed in 1778. This building also hosts a museum and one of the world’s most famous ac ademies (学院) where young talents are trained for ballet performances. This concert hall was rebuilt over the TeatroRegio Ducale which was destroyed by a fire in 1776. It saw the premieres (初次演出) of some of the most impressive works in the history of the opera, such as Madama Butterfly and Turandot by Giacomo Puccini.Carnegie Hall (New York, USA)Designed by William Burnet Tuthill, it is one of the most famous concert halls in the world for both classical music and popular music. It opened its doors in 1791 with a concert conducted in part by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Many famous works had their world premieres here, including Antonin Dvorak’s New World Symphony and George Gershwin’s An American in Paris.1. What is special about Cidade das Artes?A．Visitors can perform dances there.B．It has the longest history of the four.C．A Chinese engineer joined in its design.D．Every New Year’s concert is performed.2. Where can music-lovers enjoy the famous orchestra performance?A．In Cidade das Artes. B．In Wiener Musikverein.C．In Teatro all a Scala. D．In Carnegie Hall.3. What do Teatro all a Scala and Carnegie Hall have in common?A．They were built in the seventeenth century.B．They got destroyed in the human activities.C．They were aimed at training ballet performers.D．They saw premieres of many famous works.Sometimes we fail to give enough attention to the heroes closest to us. That was the case with my family. My family knew my father had been a WWII soldier. But because he didn’t discuss his experience, we didn’t dig too deeply.We lost him this past Christmas and when sorting out (整理) his things at home, we discovered what a truly great hero he was. He was once in college and majored in engineering. At the beginning of the war, he was drafted into the army, responding to the call. Just a few years later, he honorably left the army and returned home. He had also been awarded the Purple Heart Medal, the Silver Star Medal and the Bronze Star Medal.How I wish we had taken the time to learn more about his stories in the war! He would have answered questions if we had done a little research and known what to ask. Fortunately, there was one family member who took time to do just that. This cousin was interested in WWII. And he researched the areas wh ere my father served. We now know a small part of my father’s story from this cousin. We learned that the Silver Star Medal was awarded to my father because he carried a wounded soldier to safety through a minefield (布雷区). And he was once in several well-known fights.This year, Memorial Day has a deeper meaning for my family because we have known more about my father’s service in the army. Many activities were held by my family in memory of my father. We’re also grateful to that cousin who took the time to find out more.I hope you can do the same while your heroes are still with you. Find out as much as you can. Even if they don’t like to talk about their experiences and sacrifices (牺牲), chances are that they’ll answer direct questions if you do a little d igging. You’ll be richly rewarded with a family story for generations to come.4.

It is part of family life. But conflict that goes on for a long time and gets worse over time can cause stress and can hurt relationships. It is important to communicate with each other and bring conflict to a peaceful solution. You can do this through compromise (让步) or by agreeing to disagree. No matter what else you do, communicate with your children and make sure they know that you love them. This can make dealing with conflict easier and more effective.In some cases, you may have to change your behaviour to settle a conflict with your child. Some of your child’s behav iour may be a reaction to your behaviour. So, if you want your child to behave in a certain way, one way may be to change your behaviour so that your child will follow your model. But children should be responsible for their own actions — and the results. All parents want to protect their children. But in some cases, unless the child is in physical danger, it may be best to let the child deal with the negative results of things they do.Collaborate (合作) to develop specific rules and write them down. These may include statements such as how much time they can spend on electronics, and when homework must be completed. Not only are you modeling for your kids how to work together and resolve differences, but you also are working out important guidelines for how your house will operate.Have clear results for misconduct. Thus, if your child disobey the rules, make it clear that the right to use the toy will be taken away because of his inability to play with it responsibly. Additionally, create routines so that they know when they have free time to themselves after they have completed tasks set out for them. These could include helping feed the family pet, taking a shower, or finishing homework.8. What’s the key to solving the conflict between parents and children?A．Advising children to give in. B．Changing behavior.C．Reaching an understanding. D．Developing rules.9. Why do parents need to change their behavior first in the conflict?A．To compromise with their children.B．To be responsible for their actions.C．To find a reason to punish children.D．To set a good example for children.10. What should parents do if the child causes something bad to happen?A．Teach him how to solve it.B．Handle the situation for him.C．Let him deal with it himself.D．Share the solutions with him.11. What does the underlined word “misconduct” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Improper behavior. B．Strict rules.C．Good performances. D．Frank words.For many years, a great number of scientists have accepted the idea that dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid (小行星), but another idea is now gaining attention. New research suggests that big volcanic eruptions (火山喷发) may have contributed to the end of dinosaurs.About 66 million years ago, an asteroid hit the earth. The impact caused earthquakes andtsunamis(very large sea wave). Many scientists believe this allowed about 75% of all plants and animals on the earth to die off, including dinosaurs.Now researchers from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire believe that the asteroid alone did not cause the mass extinction (灭绝) but that volcanoes may also have played a part. A team of scientists were studying the Deccan Plateau, a large mountainous area in southern India. They found signs of volcanic rock shaped into forms called basalt floods. Volcanic rocks are formed when a volcano erupts and sends out lava (岩浆), which then cools and becomes solid. Basalt floods are formed when either several small eruptions or one extremely large eruption floods huge areas of land with lava. These eruptions can block out the sun with ash (火山灰), stop plants from growing, and kill off animals’ food supplies.The scientists discovered that the basalt rocks formed at the time dinosaurs died out. This is a strong clue that a huge volcanic eruption could have contributed to the death of dinosaurs. The team called the eruption and asteroid a double-punch, whi．．ch had dinosaurs wiped out from the planet completely.There have been several mass extinctions, including the one that killed dinosaurs. Some of the other extinctions were caused by volcanoes, which supports the new idea that a volcano could have been involved in this one. Brenhin Keller said it is difficult to be sure which volcanic eruption causedwhich mass extinction. But, Keller said, “The results make it hard to pay no attention to the role of volcanism in extinction.”12. According to new research, what may contribute to the extinction of dinosaurs?A．Earthquakes. B．Volcanic eruptions.C．Tsunamis. D．Asteroid impacts.13. What does the third paragraph focus on?A．Why volcanic rocks are formed.B．When dinosaurs became extinct.C．Where volcanic eruptions happen.D．How volcanoes killed dinosaurs.14. Which strongly proved the new finding of dinosaur extinction?A．One extremely large volcano erupted with lava.B．Dinosaurs died out when basalt rocks formed.C．Volcano lava and ash were harmful to dinosaurs.D．Many asteroids hit the earth 66 million years ago.15. What is Keller’s attitude towards the new finding?A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Negative.World Peace Day falls on September 21 every year. It’s a day to lay down our guns in war areas. Some organizations provide care for the unfortunate people in these areas on World Peace Day when activities are organized to support world peace. 16Enjoy a minute of silence. At noon of the day, one minute of silence will be held worldwide. During that minute, fall silent and reflect on a more peaceful world. 17 And honor those still fighting for peace.Donate to charity. Many people are struggling for survival worldwide. Considering marking World Peace Day with a show of support. There are thousands of charities that are working for world peace, and global development. 18 It will help many people in need.19 Gather your friends, family, neighbors and also your “enemies” together, and have a World Peace Day picnic or a World Peace Day dinner. Enjoy yourselves while eating, drinking, dancing, talking and playing games. Strengthen your relationships and enjoy peace.Plant a tree. Millions of people have planted trees for peace since the first World Peace Day. Trees are more than just a symbol of tolerance, patience and renewal (复苏). 20 Many conflicts result from the worsening of our environment. Planting trees can help protect the environment and thus keep the peace.It was a cold winter evening in an unfamiliar city.

never appeared to me, as it was too “touristy”．
Being a keen hiker, one day in May 2009, I opted for something truly challenging: Simatai．The section of the Great Wall has far fewer visitors than most other sections. This is largely due to the fact that it is not very convenient to get to and is extremely steep. It was also in a poor state of repair when I visited. At the entrance to Simatai was a group of vendors trying to sell postcards. One tiny old lady seemed to be shadowing me wherever I went, and I was becoming impatient. How many times does it take for “No!” to sink in? I thought. I finally ended up running away to escape this wo --原 卷 版
