ACleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy––they’r e given after all. Choices can be hard.––Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I t ook the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.21. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor.B. The support of his wife.C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.D. Millions of exciting titles.22. We can know from the passage that _______.A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB. the author might not regret if he failed the ideaC. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaD. the author might go back to his boss if he failed23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and KindnessB. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My PassionD. We Are What We ChooseBThe Cat in the Hat takes place on a cold, wet day with two kids awaiting their mother’s return. Instead of their mother, a strange cat enters the house. He begins balancing a fish bowl on the tip of his umbrella while balancing himself on a beach ball! The two kids and their pet fish worry and worry. But readers around the world laughed and laughed over the Cat and the Hat.Theodore Seuss Geisel, known to fans as Dr. Seuss, wrote the book. It was first published in 1957. Geisel liked to have fun and make people laugh, but he had a serious reason for writing the book. In 1954, a Life magazine article argued that kids couldn’t read because the books used to teach them how to read were too boring. John Hersey, the Pulitzer-prize winning author of the article, suggested Geisel write a story that “first graders wouldn’t be able to put down”.To write the book, Geisel had to have a good knowledge of a beginning reader’s word list. Geisel says that he came up with the title by looking for the first two words on the list that rhymed (押韵). And so The Cat in the Hat was born! But it wasn’t an easy book to write. It took Geisel one and a half years to complete.To celebrate The Cat in the Hat’s birthday, Random House, the book’s publisher, created Project 236. The number 236 represents the number of words Geisel used to write the book. As a part of Project 236, there will be a nationwide read-aloud of The Cat in the Hat at 236 on March 2, Dr. Seuss’s birthday.24. According to Paragraph 1, we know that The Cat in the Hat ______.A. tells stories between two kids and their pet fishB. was written for children left alone at homeC. entertained children around the worldD. was written in winter25. What is Dr. Seuss’s purpose in writing The Cat in the Hat?A. To improve children’s reading.B. To support John Hersey.C. To develop educational system.D. To make readers laugh.26. It can be inferred that John Hersey ______.A. thought his article was too difficult for first graders to readB. was dissatisfied with children’s readings of that timeC. won the Pulitzer-prize because of the bookD. was the editor of the magazine Life27. Why did Random House create Project 236?A. To celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday.B. In support of the nationwide read-loud.C. To make more readers get to know Dr. Seuss.D. In honour of the birth of The Cat in the Hat.CIn Africa, Christmas day begins with groups of carolers (欢唱颂歌的人) walking to and fro through the village, along the roadway, by the houses of the churchmen, singing the lovely carols known the world around. Often people may be awakened by a group of carolers beginning to gather at the church. They return home to make final preparation as to the clothes one must wear and also as to his offering for the Christmas service. The most important part of their Christmas service is the love offering. This is the gift in honor of Jesus. At about 8 or 9 o’clock, everyone makes their way to the celebration of the birthday of Jesus. Everyone who attends the service goes forward to lay down their gift upon the raised platform near the Communion table. Not one person will attend the service without giving a gift.Christmas in South Africa is a summer holiday. There is no snow, but it has many flowers, many beautiful varieties of wild flowers being in their full pride.In Ghana, most churches announce the coming of Christmas by decorating the church and homes beginning with the first week in Advent, four weeks before Christmas. This season happens to be the cocoa harvest time, so it is a time of wealth. Everyone returns home from wherever they might be, such as farms or mines.In Africa, it is the traditional dinner of turkey, roast beef, mince pies, suckling pig, yellow rice with raisins, vegetables, and plum pudding, or crackers. In the afternoon, families go out into the country and usually there are games or bathing in the warm sunshine, and then home in the cool of the evening.

The Homeless World Cup exists to end this, so we all have a home, a basic human need.The Homeless World Cup is an annual, international football tournament(联赛), uniting teams of people who are homeless to take a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country and change their lives forever. It has inspired and supported over 50 grass roots (基层的) football projects around the world working with homeless people throughout the year.The first tournament took place in Graz 2003 uniting 17 national teams. At the 5th Homeless World Cup in Copenhagen in 2004, 48 nations, 500 players were united for a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent their country. 25,000 players were involved in pre-tournament training and trials around the world.The Homeless World Cup is full of players with courage, spirit and determination.

He loved watching comedies （喜剧） best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day.When he heard about the talent show to be held at this school, Brian decided to take part in. He had never acted on stage before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly ，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do ，” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn’t understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn’t understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal. As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “You’ll do a terrible job，” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of opportunities to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television. His fans thanked him because his comedies made them feel good when they were unhappy.Now Brian is a big comedy star! He is doing what he loves best.

Besides (除……之外，试卷第4页，共12页还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products , there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve."Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, "Shanzhai" version "Bird's Nest （鸟巢）" and "Water Cube （水立方）" woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears timely to attract people. "Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, 'Shanzhai' culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," he said.To the mainstream （主流） culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge and a motivation （推动）. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.9、The Chinese word "Shanzhai" may have started with_______.A ．fake(假的) cell-phonesB ．electronic productsC ．Spring Festival GalaD ．Olympic buildings 10、According to the passage, "Shanzhai" culture means_______. A ．the action that a person imitates famous people B ．products with poor techniques and quality C ．anything that are copies of something famous D ．those similar names to famous brands11、We can infer that the mainstream culture_______. A ．is held back by "Shanzhai" culture B ．is the challenge of"Shanzhai" culture C ．will be replaced by "Shanzhai" cultureD ．may develop faster because of the challenge of "Shanzhai" culture 12、The underlined word "imitates" is closest in meaning to_______. A ．偷窃 B ．仿造 C ．做广告 D ．欺骗Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports . He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands? Experts say it’s because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I’d rather spend the extra money to get something I know I’ll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It’s fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren’t any better. “It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.” 13、Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?A ．Alexandra & Daniel.B ．Emmy & Edmund.C ．Daniel & Emmy.D ．Emmy & Alexandra. 14、What does Edmund think of expensive brands? A ．They make him feel confident. B ．They are not worth the price. C ．They need to improve their quality.试卷第6页，共12页D ．They pay too much attention to personal likes. 15、The text is mainly about _____. A ．how to buy things reasonably B ．the competition between brandsC ．whether expensive brands are worth high pricesD ．the different values of teenagers二、完形填空（题型注释）The wagon train (马车队) had been traveling for weeks now.

AI miss you, Dad. I almost laugh out when I see you in myself, from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things. It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart. It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character, honesty, integrity(正直) ,and self-respect. You taught me to enjoy my work. You taught me to share, for only by giving something do I truly receive something. You taught me about love, as you loved all seven of us children so much. You set a good example to us by being at church each time the door was open. I was watching you as you led our family in prayer （祈祷）each night before going to bed. Through you Dad, I learned what is truly important in life. I now know that you continue to live with me and I hope I have passed the valuable traits down to my kids.You lost your father when you were only two years old. Your mother fell ill when you were 13 years old. You knew that dropping out of middle school and helping provid e for your mother were necessary. So you did three jobs a day to support your mother and after you got married you worked even harder to support your family.So, parents ,especially fathers, remember that you do make a difference by what you teach your children. You can make a difference to the world.Children, now is the right time to express your love and thanks to your dads for what they do for you. A big hug, a warm thank-you, and living a life of purpose will give them more joy than you can imagine.1.What makes the author laugh out loud is that ______.A. his dad stays with him most of the time.B. he is like his dad in appearance and behavior.C. His dad’s way of teaching children is out of date.D. His dad pays too much attention to unimportant things.2.What can we know from the text about the author’s dad?A. He also learned a lot from his father.B. He lived a difficult life when young.C. He earned his living by working hard at a local church after getting married.D. He started supporting his mom upon graduating.3. The underlined word “traits” in para.1 p robably means “__________”.A. informationB. standardC. adviceD. qualitiesBThe SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The other test is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, incl uding about 100,000 foreign students. The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely usedwords. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedomand human rights.The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be askedto tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform（改革）.Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the n ew test will bette r predict a student’s performance in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material abou t American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for themto understand the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) or Martin Luther King’s work, or anything else that might be tested.Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, mayfeel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.4. What will be removed from the new SAT?A. Words that are often used.B. Words that are seldom used.C. Passages about human rights.D. Material about American historical documents.5. What will be tested in the new SAT?A. All the different meanings of a word.B. The rare usage of the common words.C. The difficult words for foreign students.D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Eddie West is against the changes to the SAT.B. The SAT is an entrance test just for foreign students.C. The SAT is the only entrance test to American colleges.D. The foreign students should make great efforts to pass the SAT.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prepare for the new SAT.B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT.D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.CTOURNAMENT OF ROSES ----5 Days Los AngelesDay 1 Los Angeles. ( Sun. Dec. 30)Welcome to Los Angeles!

I‟ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn‟t need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”At the end of the year, Rose finished her college. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. We would always remember the great woman.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

沈阳铁路实验中学2015-2016学年度上学期期中考试 高一英语
时间：100分钟 满分：120分 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分: 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A
Making friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone. Joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable. Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation. Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop. 1. The best topic of the passage may be ________. A. Friendship B. Making friends C. Meeting New People D. Facing the Unknown 2. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. Making friends needs practicing. B. Making friends needs to be more active in getting in touch with people. C. When meeting someone, make him feel nice and easy. D. Before making friends with someone, judge him if he’s too this or too that. 3. The development of friendship needs ________. A. a lot of money B. lots of conversation C. time and effort D. carefully judging B
Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate—and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me.
